Cans and bottles for kidsBales Marketplace Cedar Mill has begun a program to let you recycle your bottles and cans for local elementary schools. Large bins at the front of the store are marked with each of the local elementary schools (two more will be coming soon). You can drop your deposit cans and bottles in the bin(s) of your choice and let Bales employees run them through the recycler. At the end of each quarter, schools will be presented with checks for their share.
“It’s one of the best programs we have ever come up with!” says Store Manager Tom Evans. “We’ve already taken in over $1000 during the first two months of the program!” A couple of years ago, the parent company of Bales Marketplace bought the Lamb’s Thriftway chain. They had been doing this for a while. Bales contacted all the local schools. “I even took donuts to a couple of the schools to encourage them to participate,” says Evans. Amost all of the local schools are now involved. The last ones will have their bins operating soon. Schools will get their checks just before the end of the school year.

Just purchase the book (retail price $9.99, but mention the discount in this month’s ad for $5 off!) and color a page, and submit it to the store by June 30. The winner will be announced in the July issue of the News if we get the information in time! Holistic Pet is located in the Safeway shopping center at Murray and Cornell, 13567 NW Cornell.

Bandito delivered!Our own favorite healthy Mexican and Persian food spot, Bandito Taco, has joined a growing number of local restaurants using “UberEATS” to get local food delivered. Download the app, and the UberEATS platform detects your location and offers you an assortment of participating restaurants. The service began in Toronto, and is taking Cedar Mill by storm, judging from the variety of participating local eateries. Customers use the UberEATS app to find a restaurant and order their food. The restaurant receives the order and prepares the food, and an Uber driver shows up to deliver it. Prices for menu items include the Uber charge, and are higher than if you went in, of course. Owners Ahmad Kouklani and Sahar Fardanesh have been extra busy fulfilling orders for this new service, as well as recently producing 95 gallons of their famous Pico de Gallo salsa for a Farmers Market in southeast Portland. Ahmad says he never wants to see another tomato, but we’re sure he’ll continue to supply us with tasty items at their delightful spot in the Safeway center.
Move Over Zillow and Redfin...ELEETE rolls out their new real estate trackerWe are thrilled to announce that we have partnered with a software company out of Mountain View, California, to beta test their new technology that interfaces with our local RMLS in a way that no other firm has done to date. Whether you are truly in the market to buy, just enjoy looking at new lifestyles, or you love to know what’s happening real estate wise in your community, ELEETE SCOUT, will give you a the most interactive and engaging way to see real estate. Like many new music and movie sites, ELEETE SCOUT will learn about your preferences such as vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, one level living, near a park, or a private backyard. All in all, there are hundreds of preferences to choose from. When new listings hit the market in your defined areas of interest, all the homes will be included, but rather than be presented from high price to low price, they instead are ranked by the number of matching preferences that are of interest to you. Another super cool feature is the ability to look at homes side by side, room by room, photo by photo. For example, you can look at the front photos of two or three homes, then the living room photos, then the kitchen photos, then the master bedroom. You can also input addresses such as your work and each home you see will show your commute times. Fast, fun, efficient, ELEETE SCOUT makes looking at real estate both informative and entertaining. Like Facebook, you can share your favs, give thumbs up and thumbs down, and request more information, schedule a viewing, or banter with your ELEETE REALTOR or your spouse. Additionally, the smart phone app is fantastic and easy to use when you are on the go. You will always be the first to “know”, as ELEETE Scout will also update you when homes sell and give you the actual sale price. Finally, if you are a serious buyer, ELEETE SCOUT is faster than RMLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and all individual real estate company websites. For those of you interested, you can receive real time updates, as ELEETE SCOUT is directly connected to Portland’s RMLS and updates every 15 minutes. To get the SCOUT updates, email lee@eleetere.com with SCOUT in the subject line
