Market of Choice supports Food BankNew to Cedar Mill, Market of Choice is continuing its long tradition of supporting food banks with its year-round Scan Program, which makes it easy for customers to contribute to the fight against hunger when they shop for groceries. At Market of Choice at Timberland Town Center, customers can give to the food program by electing to scan a $1, $5 or $10 coupon, which is added to the customer’s total at checkout; 100 percent is donated to the Oregon Food Bank. For tax purposes, the store receipt serves as documentation of the donation. A $10 donation provides 30 meals for individuals struggling with hunger. “Supporting the Oregon Food Bank in its mission reinforces our own values. We care about the community, sustainability and minimizing waste,” said Store Manager Casey Capell. Market of Choice currently donates more than $120,000 a year to regional food banks and partner agencies. The company has well exceeded $1 million in total donations to date. In addition to money generated through its Scan Program, Market of Choice is donating food daily to the Oregon Food Bank through its Fresh Alliance program. Donated food includes products that are nearing the date they can no longer be sold but can still be consumed, such as dairy, produce, baked goods and groceries, as well as gourmet prepared foods that would otherwise go to waste. Market of Choice has implemented a similar food rescue and Scan Program in Eugene and Corvallis, and it’s made a marked difference in the food program in those communities. “We’d like to have that same kind of impact here,” Capell said.

CSA signups and moreDinihanian Farm / Your CSA offers a 20-week Community Supported Agriculture farm share program.
Dinihanian's is a certified organic farm, and the majority of what members receive in their share is grown at the farm on NW Cornell. To bring members the most varied supply, they also occasionally include items from several partnering growers. These partnerships allow them to expand what they offer by providing access to things they don't grow on the farm (members can choose to have items from other farms excluded from their share if they want 100% organic from the farm). CSA membership is available as a full (family of four or more) share; half share; four-week introductory share; with options to add meat, eggs, and cheese to your order. Find out more on the website: yourcsa.com, where you can sign up online and pay with PayPal, or download a form to fill out and mail. You can also sign up right at the farm, but call or email first to make sure someone's in the office: 503-432-6235 or csainfo@yourcsa.com. Farm/CSA Coordinator Suzanne Ballard is itching to share the produce that's already growing in their fields and hoop houses, so she's working on setting up a "mini-Farmers-Market" on several Saturday mornings in March and April. Details will be available at the website (yourcsa.com) or on their Facebook page, so Like them to get the latest. Also, check out Suzanne's Food Blog, with news about the farm and tips for enjoying seasonal produce. Pawsitively Fresh!Did you know your pet can benefit from eating a fresh, raw diet? Not to be confused with feeding Fido scraps of meat from the butcher—we’re talking safe, formulated raw meat and veggie meals from the pet store! The Pet Barn, located in the Bale’s Marketplace shopping center, offers a variety of raw options for both dogs and cats. Raw pet food is one of the safest food and treat options out there for pets, having drastically less recalls each year than the dry food industry! The companies that make raw pet food are held to a higher food safety standard because their products will be fed raw—unlike grocery store meat that is sold with the intention of being cooked! Though your pet will benefit from eating an all-raw diet, Fido and Fluffy can still thrive from small daily additions! Freeze-dried is an easy option for many people, because it doesn’t require thawing, and can be fed as a quick, nutritious treat. Freeze-dried food will also stick to the teeth and gums a little bit, and the natural enzymes in the raw ingredients will eat away tartar! Many raw food companies also offer small morsel options. These little pieces thaw within minutes on the counter, and can be fed right away! Raw food has a stick-to-your-ribs fulfillment that is good for super hungry pets, and include many beneficial enzymes and nutrients that are destroyed by cooking. Many pets have better teeth, shinier coats, and overall better digestive health from eating a raw diet. So make sure to stop in at The Pet Barn and ask for a free sample of raw or freeze-dried food! They’ll also be offering $5 off any Nature’s Variety Raw or Freeze-Dried product the entire month of March! Village Gallery NewsArtists Reception and Open HouseSunday, March 8, 2-4 pm, Village Gallery of Arts, next to the Cedar Mill Library Drop in and meet our members and this month’s featured artists: Sue Girard and Mary Burgess.
Sue Girard began her journey into art with oil on canvas in a studio built by her father in the garage. She studied art in college and visited art galleries as a child in the San Francisco Bay Area. She was fascinated and drawn to the famous impressionist artists. As an artist, she is drawn to bright colors. She is motivated to try new methods or techniques, whether it is in the form of collage, encaustic, photography, painting or greeting cards. Her latest technique is Oil and Cold Wax. She starts with a cradled wood panel, paint, plaster and then layers of oil paint with cold wax. The final coat of cold wax is applied as a finishing layer. In 2006, Sue joined the Village Gallery, joining the board as Membership Chair and eventually President. She continues to work at the gallery as a Desk Worker. In 2010, Sue was invited to join Portland Art Collective and continues to enjoy participation in that group. Mary Burgess will be showing her work during the month of March as “Crafter of the Month.” Mary has many years experience working in the classroom as a high school art instructor. One of her assignments was to teach a Crafts class. This gave her the opportunity to share some of her own creative passions with her students. Although watercolor is what she considers her medium of first choice, she also loves to create Ukrainian Eggs (Pysanky), small fused glass pieces, and handmade books and boxes. Mary’s handmade blank books feature one-of-a-kind decorative paper covers and make wonderful journals for traveling artists. 6th Annual Art Challenge coming soonArtists who register for this event will create four 6x6 inch canvases with a related theme. Any medium is welcome as long as it fits on the canvas. The cost to participate in this non-juried event is $30 (the gallery provides the canvases) and artists keep 75% of the income from their sales. Completed canvases are due at the gallery by May 2 and the artwork will be on display and for sale through the month of May. Check with the gallery to see if registration is still open. The gallery hosts a variety of classes for adults and children. Complete class details available at villagegalleryarts.org. Osborne joins Stride Strong
Stride Strong Physical Therapy in Cedar Mill is proud to announce a new addition to their family of Physical Therapists. Her name is Dr Sydney Osborne, DPT, and she is a women’s health physical therapist. She treats very specific women’s health issues that come up in a woman’s lifespan: pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, pre- and postpartum pelvic and low back pain. These issues tend not to be brought up in the doctor’s exam room because it triggers embarrassment and discomfort in discussion, so women end up living with their problems—not knowing that a few sessions with a Women’s Health Physical Therapist can help eliminate the pain and leakage. Patients are treated in a very comfortable and private examination room to ensure privacy and security. Sunset Stride Strong’s Physical Therapy group is in-network with almost all insurances except Kaiser. They are located in the building west of Bales Supermarket on Cornell. Call (503) 208-6278 to make an appointment. Sunset Credit Union newsCollege Scholarships: Sunset Credit Union, which serves people who live, work or attend school in Cedar Mill, is now offering two $2,000 scholarships to high school students going on to college. To learn more and apply to receive one of the scholarships, visit their website at sspfcu.com and click on the 'i$ave Teen Account page under the Checking/Savings tab. 1,150 pounds of personal data shredded: Some Cedar Mill residents recently had their old receipts, financial records and other private information destroyed—and they’re happy about it. That’s because they took part in Sunset Science Park Federal Credit Union’s Community Shred-it Day on January 20.The credit union, which serves people who live, work or attend school in Cedar Mill, offered Cedar Mill residents the opportunity to bring in two boxes of old receipts, financial records and other ‘no-longer-needed’ private documents to be shredded using their commercial shredding company. “Many people keep documents they no longer need stored in their attics and garages,” said Rhonda Baggarley, CEO/President of Sunset Credit Union. “This leaves them at risk of having their private information—and possibly their identity—stolen. We wanted to educate our community about the importance of keeping their identity safe which is why we offer our Shred-it Day.” Community members brought in old documents, receipts and other personal materials that filled up five 64-gallon bins—over 1⁄2 a ton of materials—which were shredded. “We’ve been in this community for over 55 years now,” said Baggarley, “We’re always looking for ways to give back to the people who live and work here. Our Shred-It Day is becoming more and more popular which is fantastic because we’re helping a lot of people protect their identity and personal data.” To learn more about Sunset Credit Union, visit their website at sspfcu.com or stop by their office at 1100 NW Murray Blvd. Financial Beginnings for 75 students: Just because there wasn’t any school on Martin Luther King Day, and a few other recent ‘no-school’ days, doesn’t mean some students didn’t learn something. That’s because they attended a ‘Financial Beginnings’ class taught and sponsored by Sunset Credit Union. The two-hour classes were held in the community room of Fire Station #68 located at Evergreen and Thompson Roads. “Understanding money and how it works is an incredibly important life-long skill,” said Rhonda Baggarley, CEO/President of Sunset Credit Union, “ but unfortunately many schools do not have the resources or the classes to teach our youth these skills. That is why we’re offering these free classes. We’ve also designed an account just for teenagers, called our i$ave Account, to give teenagers more tips, strategies and skills on how to manage money.” In addition to receiving course materials, the students were also treated to a free lunch from credit union. To learn more about Sunset Credit Union, visit their website at sspfcu.com, or stop by their office located at 1100 NW Murray Blvd. Second Edition Reopens with a New Look
After the huge clearance sale, Second Edition stayed closed for a week and“ took it down to the walls.” That’s when the magic began. Walls were painted, dressing room benches were re-carpeted and new curtains were chosen. The carpeting was replaced with new flooring, display accessories were added, and new signs were created and hung. The shop reopened on Presidents’ Day, full of spring fashions and fresh merchandise. Customers were lined up at the door and were definitely “wowed” by the changes. Second Edition thanks the Cedar Mill Library Association for painting the walls and replacing the flooring; Home Depot for their generous support of building materials; Cornell Farm and Cori Bacher for the beautiful dwarf golden cedar pots flanking our doors; and to all the wonderfully talented volunteers who donated their time and expertise to everything from choosing a color palate to creating signage, painting and hanging accessories. A huge thank you also goes out to all of their loyal customers for their patience.
Virtue of the month: Courage“Courage is personal bravery in the face of fear. It is doing what needs to be done even when it is really hard or scary. Courage is going ahead even when you feel like giving up or quitting. Courage is needed in new things, in facing the truth, and in picking yourself up after a mistake, ready to try again. It comes from knowing deep what is right for you and believing in yourself to do it. Courage can come from prayer, and the trust that God will help.” Family Virtues Cards, and other The Virtues project materials are available at virtuesproject.com. For local events and more information please call Delaram Adyani 503-267-0202 or visit on facebook.
