Cedar Mill Business Roundup November 2013
Pet Barn photo contestThe Pet Barn, next to Bales Thriftway, invites you to bring in photos of your pet. Winners will have their pet “immortalized” in an ad in an upcoming issue of the Cedar Mill News. Print a copy and bring it in to the store, but all photos submitted must be available as high-resolution digital files. Winners will be notified and advised how to submit the photos for inclusion in the Pet Barn ads. All types of pets are eligible. Special consideration may be given to photos that include Pet Barn products, but that’s not necessary. To kick off the contest, this month’s ad features my now-departed sweet Vizslas, Odin and Rufus. The contest is ongoing, but to be featured in the December issue, photos should be submitted by November 15.

A new business has moved into the former Katinas (then Sunset Club and Grapevine among others...) at 11525 SW Barnes, just west of Cedar Hills Blvd. They’ve been busy remodeling and redecorating inside and out—you may have noticed the big horse statue near Barnes! Blue Agave is billed as a “Latin Tapas & Tequila” establishment. The menu offers a long list of tapas—small plates that can be ordered as snacks or combined into a full meal. A group can order a number of these to share for a fun way to try several flavors. They also have entrees that include Mexican, Spanish and Cuban dishes. A full bar provides a large selection of tequilas, plus beer, wine and cocktails. They have moved here from their former location on NE Glisan. At that location, they had dance lessons—we’re not sure if they’ll be bringing those to Cedar Mill, but it’s worth looking into! Find them on Facebook at facebook.com/blueagavepdx. They’re open daily from 3 pm-2 am, children welcome until 9 pm, with Happy Hour 3-6 pm.

Lighten your load by shipping luggageNot having to carry a suitcase while traveling during the holidays is a great convenience. Shipping ahead offers the added bonus of having your bags at your destination when you arrive. You can ship your luggage as is; place it in a box for shipment; or purchase a luggage box, eliminating the need for a suitcase altogether. The luggage box comes in two sizes, large and small, has a sturdy handle for easy carrying, and is made of recyclable corrugate. Because it weighs less than an empty suitcase, packing directly into the box can help lower shipping costs. Travelers also can include packaging tape and a return UPS shipping label for use when returning home. The UPS Store offers a variety of shipping options that allow travelers to track their luggage to its final destination. In addition to domestic and international shipping, The UPS Store offers full-service packaging, digital printing, black-and-white and color duplications, document finishing (binding, laminating, etc.), notary, printing services (business cards, letterhead, rubber stamps, etc.), custom crating and shipping for large items (e.g., furniture, artwork and motorcycles), mailbox and postal services, office and packaging supplies and more. The UPS Store is located at 10940 SW Barnes Rd. and has convenient extended hours during the holidays. For additional information, visit www.theupsstorelocal.com/3379 or call 503-646-9999.

Health Sources’ Fight against HungerToday, 35 million Americans, including 12 million children are living on the brink of hunger; ¼ million households with children were hungry in 2005; 70% of people seeking emergency food assistance are living below the federal poverty line—40% of which have at least one adult working in their home, according to the USDA. Thinking about these issues is exactly why 400 Health Source Chiropractic and Progressive Rehab and Wellness offices nationwide are now fighting against the hunger in their communities. The chiropractic franchise has been ranked number one in health services by Entrepreneur Magazine for five years in a row and is the fastest growing franchise on the Inc. 500/500 list for three years. The success Healthsource has developed is now giving them the ability to give back to their communities. The Healthsource of Cedar Mill office will be an official non-perishable food drop-off for the Portland Rescue Mission for the entire month of November. Located on Cornell Road, the office will be offering the first day of services to all new patients for the donation of canned food items. For people not applying to Medicare and ACN, first day services at Healthsource include an exam, x-rays, and a consultation, regular cost is $189. For only a donation of canned food items, this is a very rewarding and beneficial deal! To help not only oneself but others that are in need is something the Healthsource hopes its’ communities will consider. For more information, call Dr. Stephen Besser at the local Healthsource of Cedar Mill Office at 503-746-5085 or visit www.HSCedarMill.com
