Boulevard Banners!
Since 2007, the Cedar Mill Business Association has been sponsoring programs to help raise awareness of Cedar Mill’s downtown area with banners and flower baskets along Cornell. The next phase includes the new boulevard banners. These banners are available to sponsor for a whole year. Sponsors will have their name on either one or both sides of a banner, depending on your sponsorship level. During this holiday time, the poles are draped with beautiful cedar greenery, and in the spring the greenery will be replaced with beautiful flower baskets. If you are interested in sponsoring a pole and advertising your business name on the new boulevard banners, please go to cedarmillbiz.com and let us know! Don't get left behind. . . there are only a limited amount of poles for sponsorship. Wouldn’t this be a great way to spend a very small part of your advertising budget? Thank you to the businesses that are sponsoring a boulevard banner this year. When you patronize them, let them know you appreciate their community spirit!

Dr. Delgado joins Cornell Family MedicineDr. Robert Barlow has added Dr. Erica Delgado to his practice, located in the medical building at 12400 NW Cornell, Suite 200. She says, “I'm very excited to join Cornell Family Medicine and work alongside such a well-loved and respected physician, Dr. Barlow. Primary care medicine has such a large scope and it's fascinating—there are always new things to learn.” The practice welcomes new patients. Dr. Delgado continues, “I've always been drawn to the human side of medicine—that's why I became a doctor in the first place! I enjoy getting to know my patients as people and sharing in their lives. That's the beauty of primary care—we get to work together over time through life's ups and downs. It's a big responsibility, and a privilege. I care for patients from adolescent age to elderly as a general internist,” she explains. She speaks Spanish. She’s a “local girl,” very typical of the many folks who grow up here, go off and learn things, and come back to Cedar Mill to make their lives. “I graduated from Sunset High School in 1996. I attended Pomona College, then the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, graduating in 2005. There I met my husband and we did our residencies in Seattle. He's now an orthopedic surgeon, graciously following me west to Oregon from his east coast roots. I became board certified in Internal Medicine in 2008. After residency, I worked as a hospitalist for two years in Seattle. We moved around after this—to Taos, NM and Columbus, Ohio for my husband's surgical training before moving back to Portland. I worked at a primary care clinic in SE Portland before meeting Dr. Barlow and joining Cornell Family Medicine. We live in Cedar Mill, where we are raising our two young children (and two rescued kittens).” Meditation with Joan Gunness

Optimize Your Health at Santosha Yoga in the New YearOnce again, we’re running our popular January Challenge and a Four Week Cleanse! The January Challenge is an opportunity to win more yoga by committing yourself to your yoga practice. Within the six weeks from January 1st until February 13th, yogis of all levels who complete five classes each week for four consecutive weeks can win. For new students using the Intro Package, it’s only $50 for unlimited yoga for a month. The winner of the January Challenge wins more yoga!

The Four Week Cleanse, however, is free to anyone who wants to optimize their health with a detox, cleanse, and hopefully a yoga routine. The Cleanse is an easy to follow plan with tips, shopping lists, optional weekly meetings, and a guest Nutritionist speaker to help start the Cleanse off on Sunday, January 4th.

Ship your luggage? Why not!Shopping for gifts, decorating, cooking. Most people have a lot to manage during the holidays. Add traveling to the mix and you can have a real headache. Fortunately, The UPS Store ® located at 10940 SW Barnes Rd., Peterkort Towne Square is helping ease travelers’ burdens by shipping their luggage ahead of time. “Not having to carry a suitcase while traveling during the holidays is a great convenience,” said The UPS Store franchise owner Tim Kimble. “An added bonus of shipping ahead is having your bags at your destination when you arrive. 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. Plus, when shipped UPS Ground service, the luggage box is competitively priced with the airlines’ baggage fees, especially when compared to the major airlines, many of which are charging well over $100 for comparable baggage. One of the biggest fears for holiday travelers is dealing with lost or misplaced luggage. The UPS Store offers a variety of shipping options that allow travelers to track their luggage to its final destination, such as UPS Next Day Air, UPS 2nd Day Air, UPS 3 Day Select and UPS Ground. Tim suggests the following tips when shipping luggage:
The UPS Store accepts packages as late as Tuesday, December 23, for delivery on Wednesday, December 24. This year, Christmas falls on a Thursday. For time-critical shipments, UPS offers the convenience of Saturday Delivery; however, Saturday Delivery commitment times depend on the shipping service you choose. Check with your local The UPS Store to help you determine the best way to get your package to its destination in time. 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: visit the website to see their Holiday Hours or call them at 503-646-9999.
