Farmers’ Market continues through October!
Market Manager Dina Gross says, “Keep the market listed on your calendar; we’ll see you through October 24, though in October we’ll open at 9 am. In really bad October weather when we otherwise would simply not have a market, the Leedy Grange has offered to house some of our vendors to continue the wonderful connection between the Cedar Mill community and local agriculture, so look for that possibility.
Don’t write us off on stormy Saturdays! Here’s what to do: in October if it’s stormy, check your Friday email for news of the market. Or check the usual spot for us or for signage on whether you’ll find us at the Grange (on Saltzman just north of Cornell).

Halloween Candy Exchange
Dr. Michelle Stafford, Pediatric Dental Specialist at World of Smiles, Pediatric Dentistry in Portland Oregon offers the following advice for the kid-candy-frenzy that happens on Halloween and into the holidays:
"After your child overindulges on any and all candy on Halloween, I recommend that by the next day certain candies 'disappear:' any sticky candy such as taffy, caramel or Skittles. Sticky candy stays in the grooves of molars especially and will cause cavities quicker. Better to give a piece of chocolate or nuts or a candy bar to your child than small sticky candies. Keep sweets at mealtime only and at least rinse with milk or water afterward though brushing teeth after eating candy is best. "
World of Smiles is hosting their annual Candy Exchange Program. Children under 14 are invited to bring in all of their Halloween candy to exchange it for a toy. Stop by World of Smiles at 11790 SW Barnes Road, Suite 280 during normal business hours from 8-5 during the first two weeks of November to take advantage of this offer. Call for more details at: 503-626-9700 or visit our website: www.visitworldofsmiles.com. Happy Halloween!!

Reducing the stress of seniors who are downsizing
Beth Giles has recently joined the National Association of Senior Move Managers, a non-profit professional association dedicated to helping older adults and their families with the physical and emotional aspects of moving.
“Most adults making the transition have not moved in 20, 30, or 40 years and need to downsize considerably,” said Giles, Senior Move Manager and Professional Organizer with NW Organizing Solutions. “The organizational and physical tasks associated with planning and implementing such a move can be overwhelming. It’s so much more than just a move when you are helping older adults transition to a new home. We work to reduce the stress and anxiety that accompanies this type of move.”
NW Organizing Solutions frequently assists individuals who choose to stay in their own homes and require expert organizational skills and solid knowledge of “aging in place” concepts to help them achieve their goal of not moving anywhere, but improving their quality of life! The services that NW Organizing Solutions provides include developing an overall move or “age in place” plan; organizing, sorting and downsizing; customized floor plans; arranging for disposal of unwanted items through estate sale, consignment, or donation; interviewing, scheduling and overseeing movers; packing a household; and unpacking and setting up the new home.
For more information, please contact Beth Giles, Senior Move Manager at NW Organizing Solutions at 503-709-0791, or via email at beth@nworganizingsolutions.com.

 Village Gallery News
E. Benno Phillipson is the featured artist for this month’s show. He is a graduate of the University of Illinois with a degree in architecture and design. He is currently participating in Architecture in the Schools Program where students learn about architecture, its history, drawing, design and town planning.
The show will feature his watercolor paintings. “Watercolor is a medium where one is always learning. There is about it a fluid creativity. Just the process of understanding what happens when water is added to color in all its many variations gives me a whole range of tools for extemporaneous fun on paper.”
The public is welcome to attend a reception on Friday, October 9th from 5-7pm at the Village Gallery of Arts,12505 NW Cornell Road, next to the library.
Many new art classes are beginning this fall. Please call or drop by to sign up for classes & workshops. You can also view our new catalog of classes on our website at www.villagegalleryarts.org

 Fashions fit to a tea
By Susan Still, Second Edition Shop Assistant
75 guests enjoyed “A Novel Fashion Show” presented by the Second Edition Resale Shop on Friday, September 18, at the Cedar Mill Community Library. While enjoying a delicious English tea, attendees viewed a wide range of ensembles modeled by Second Edition volunteers. The event was organized by volunteers Jan Cox and Val Dale-Gruber with the help of many other Second Edition volunteers.
The parade of fashions began with 10 year-old Evan modeling a Harry Potter outfit as he “walked the runway’ reading a book, while the patrons learned of the library’s early literacy programs and the great importance of the library to children and families in our community.
From that dramatic opening, the fashions varied from a sporty ladies golf outfit, to office attire, casual clothes, and some very sexy evening wear, accessorized with plenty of “bling.” All clothing and accessories in the show were from Second Edition. So when the show was over there was a mad dash to the shop by many ladies hoping to buy the outfits and accessories they had set their sights on during the show. As a result, Second Edition sales were twice as much as a typical Friday!
Second Edition sells donated, gently-used designer fashions for men, women and children, as well as a large selection of household items. Best of all, proceeds benefit the Cedar Mill and Bethany libraries! Second Edition Resale Shop is located at the east end of the Cedar Mill Library. 12505 NW Cornell Rd. 503-644-6395. Open 7 days a week.
