Aurora II, mixed media, Laure Svec

Village Gallery News

The March group show opens March 9-April 3. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday 12 pm to 4 pm. The Gallery is located next to the Cedar Mill Library.

Featured artist Laure Svec says,“Nature is one of my biggest inspirations and my newest series is inspired by the elusive Aurora Borealis. I have used many layers of watercolor, acrylic, and metallic inks to make the delicate swirls and ribbons for the background skies. I like the illusion and shimmer with the metallic inks.”

A reception for the artist will be held in the gallery at 12505 NW Cornell Rd. Saturday, March 13th from 6-9pm.

Meet Bales’ new meat manager

Steve Asla cuts up some stew meat

Steven Asla joined the Bales Cedar Mill team a couple of months ago as manager of their wonderful meat department. Prior to that, he was assistant manager at the Bales Farmington store.

He grew up in LaGrande, hunting and fishing with his dad and grandfather, who was also a butcher. He started working as a meat cutter right out of high school, and came to Portland and worked at Haggen before joining Bales.

He loves to cook, and looks forward to bringing more easy-to-fix semi-prepared meat items to the Bales meat counter. He’s already started working with Jesse, Bales meat-smoking expert, to increase the variety of yummy smoked meats that now includes smoked tenderloin, beef and pork ribs, and those tasty smoked pork hocks that can make a pot of beans sing!

He’s happy to help you with special orders, either from their regular meat vendors or from their local suppliers, Painted Hills Oregon grass-fed beef, and Carlton Farms locally raised pork. Be sure to stop by and welcome him to the neighborhood and check out the increased variety of delicious meats.
