Santosha Yoga is a big proponent of being involved in the local community through donation-based classes, classes to raise funds, and also a giving tree during the holiday season. Because yoga isn’t always financially accessible to everyone, Santosha Yoga offers three yoga classes that are donation based. We ask for a minimum of five dollars per person to help cover the cost of the studio space and teacher. On Saturdays, the karma class is Family Yoga, a 45 minute practice that allows parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, big sisters and brothers, to bring kids (3 years old and up) to yoga. It’s a fun way to have yoga for the family. On Sunday mornings, the karma yoga is Align & Flow, an all-levels class that focuses on alignment, slow moving transitions, and a practice that leaves the body feeling good. On Sunday evenings, the karma yoga is Yoga for 12 Step Recovery, a class that is designed to support people with addiction or those who are supporting someone living with addiction. The Y12SR is our newest addition to the schedule. We firmly believe that there is a yoga for every body. See the schedule at SantoshaForEveryBody.com. CSA signups now openDinihanian’s Farm Market and “YourCSA.com” just keep on getting better! They received full Organic Certification last year, and Farm Manager Suzanne Ballard is busy ordering seeds and preparing greenhouses and fields for the coming season. In addition to the Farm Market, which is open to the public, they provide Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) portions that include a variety of fruits, veggies and other locally-produced food. She says, “2015 CSA membership prices stay the same as last year. If you sign up before the end of March, you can make your payments in two installments. We have redesigned the add-on shares for 2015, as well. Information about all that (and more) can be found on the website.”
The website allows you to use a debit or credit card to order your share. The CSA is tentatively set to open the first week of June, but the last several years, it has been a bit earlier, with our first pick up starting in late May. As in 2014, it will run weekly for 20 consecutive weeks. The farm re-opened on January 21, with an abbreviated schedule—Wednesday-Friday, 10 am-3 pm. Available goods will be listed on the website and anyone who wants to pick up eggs, honey, coffee, seasoned firewood, etc. can call or text 503-432-6235 to place an order. That way, we can be sure to have your goods here to be picked up on Fridays. The regular farm store is slated to re-open in late spring, with the full seven-day schedule, 10-6 daily.

2014 CMBA Annual MeetingThe Cedar Mill Business Association held their annual meeting/holiday party on December 9 in the beautiful banquet room at the Sunset Athletic Club. The gathering opened with the Sunset High School madrigals choir singing a variety of seasonal songs in front of a glowing fireplace. Music teacher, Mr. Rust, brought joy and good will with him as this high-level choir impressed those in attendance. The CMBA gifted the choir with cookies and $200 to be used toward much-needed supplies.
The members enjoyed a wide variety of food and beverages from local member restaurant and food vendors: Schmizza’s Pub & Grub, Safeway, Mt. Man Nut & Fruit Co., Pars Market, Dutch Oven By Chris, Pips, and Poppa’s Haven. Delicious! It has become CMBA’s tradition to sell Safeway Food Bank grocery bags in a two-minute donation drive during the annual meeting. This year, the members generously gave enough money to support 29 Food Bank bags! Board member Dean Shade presented $1,000 to Sunset High School for their gift program for students who are homeless and are attending school locally.
Each year, the CMBA recognizes those business owners who show outstanding service to the community. This year, four business owners were honored. Rick Edmunds, Manager of Safeway, Ken Anderson of Cedar Mill Landscaping, Sandi Proctor of Impact Sign Co., and Joanne Hollister of Mt. Man Nut & Fruit Co. These people all show a commitment to support those who work, play and live in Cedar Mill. The members in attendance voted to confirm the nominations for the 2015 board of directors. The CMBA board for next year will be: Robert Caldwell of Edward Jones (president), Dean Shade, Attorney at Law (secretary), Lori Bitter with Send Out Cards, Chris Baidenmann from Ashton Tinely and Brian Houston with Coldwell Bankers Seal. Treasurer will be Sandy Proctor of Impact Sign Co. Got Doggie Breath?Contrary to popular belief, your pet’s kibble (dry food) actually leaves starchy residue on the teeth that builds into tartar and inflames the gum-line. Pet Barn has many options to help reduce tartar, freshen the breath, and make those teeth pearly white! Several of their dental products work by eating away tartar and reducing stinky bacterial buildup, and can be added to your pet’s food or water daily. Mad About Organics offers two products, a dental powder and a water additive that can be used for both dogs and cats. The dental powder can be sprinkled on to your pets meal each day and uses ingredients like strawberries and garlic for their antiplaque properties. The water additive can also be mixed in to your pets’ water bowl daily. Wysong DentaTreat is a cheese enzyme-based product that you can sprinkle directly on to your pet’s meals each day. The enzymes activate when they come in contact with your pet’s saliva, and will gently eat away the tartar buildup. TropiClean has the widest variety of products—ranging from dental powders, to water additives, to mouth gels. The mouth gel is the most effective at reducing gum inflammation, and can be applied directly to the gum-line. In addition to the food and water products, Pet Barn always offers the basics like canine and feline toothpaste and toothbrushes. And don’t forget that natural dental chews are also important to keep tartar at bay because they gently scrape away tartar and strengthen the teeth! Since February is National Pet Dental Health Month, Pet Barn is offering 15% off ALL dental products until February 28th! So make sure to stop by at Pet Barn, located at 12675A NW Cornell Rd. (next to Bales Marketplace) and find the dental solution that fits your pet’s needs best! Village Gallery
Village Gallery of Arts has received a facelift for the New Year! A renovation of the gallery space and classroom was completed the first week of January, and visitors and members have been very pleased with the new look. Upon approach to the gallery, the first improvement—now very visible to people on the sidewalk—are the red vinyl panels covering the tops of the gallery windows. These red panels draw attention to the gallery window space and set it apart from Second Edition, the neighboring resale shop. Once inside the gallery doors, a new red wall commands attention and defines the organization’s mission. It includes a group art project completed by Village Gallery members, as well as an historical timeline of the gallery. Additionally, the desk has been moved from its previous location facing the front door, to the center of the gallery, positioned so the gallery attendants can easily look up from the desk and greet people as they enter and admire the new space. The featured artist for February is Laurie Svec. Laurie has been in love with trees since childhood. Incorporating trees into her artwork over the years has been a real joy for her. She is fascinated with the sight of trees bare-branched in the snow or fog, in full emerald foliage or autumn color, weighted down with fruit, or flowering and humming with bees. To Laurie, trees remind her of the network of blood vessels bringing nourishment to the body. She has written poems and prose about this favorite subject. Stop in during February to view Laurie’s photography, watercolor paintings and mixed media works depicting trees. Virtue of the month: Wonder“Wonder is being open to the beauty and mysteries of life. It is our soul’s appreciation for what is precious and inspiring. When we look at the grandeur of nature, fully present to the moment, it can move us deeply. When we live reflectively, we delight in the signs and wonders that appear in our lives. We are alert to synchronicities that point us toward a decision or give us deeper insight into the truth. Wonder makes our lives simply wonderful.” - virtuesproject.com The practice of Wonder:

Wine Cellar charityDrinking wine and saving animals; that’s an unlikely combination. However, the locally owned business The Wine Cellar thinks those two things go together well. For the past five years owner Erin Palmer has supported a different local non-profit each year, and this year her clients voted to support OFOSA (Oregon Friends of Shelter Animals), a no-kill pet shelter in Beaverton. For each new “like” or each unique “check-in” on Facebook, Erin donates $1 to OFOSA, up to $500 per month. So you can help support a local business and a local non-profit by liking “Erin’s Wine Cellar” on Facebook, and checking in each time you’re in the shop.
UPS StoreTo show support for our military, and to help those serving our country receive messages from their friends and loved ones, The UPS Store, located on Barnes Road in the Peterkort Towne Square, is participating in Operation: S.W.A.K. (Sealed With A Kiss.) Through February 14, The UPS Store will provide complimentary delivery of Valentine’s Day greetings to these U.S. troops and veterans. “A handwritten card or letter is a simple way to pay tribute to the dedication and sacrifices of the brave men and women who serve our country,” said Tim Kimble, The UPS Store franchisee. “Each and every card is a valuable reminder of home for the soldier who receives it.” Many people are using email as a quick means of communicating with loved ones deployed in other countries, but there’s no substitute for a personalized, sentimental card or letter. Eligible mail must be addressed to a specific U.S. serviceman or woman at an assigned APO/FPO address or a specific veteran residing in a VA hospital, and must include a valid return address. Tim recommends people send their greetings ASAP for overseas delivery by Valentine’s Day. For more information on The UPS Store products or services, please visit their website or call 503-646-9999.
