Modern Home Tour comes to Cedar MillSaturday, June 4th 11am-5pm
The 2016 Portland Modern Home Tour will give area-residents the rare opportunity to explore eight incredible modern homes in the City of Roses and meet the local architects behind the designs. Modern Home Tours also welcomes the Architecture Foundation of Oregon as the tour’s non-profit partner for the first time. The Cedar Mill home is located at 12225 NW Old Quarry Rd. Designed in the mid-fifties by Architect Frank Shell for a local doctor, this is an impressive example of a mid century modern home. Shell established a wonderful indoor/outdoor relationship in all areas of the house, resulting in a palpable feeling of connection to the beautiful site. The house has been featured in Sunset Magazine & Better Homes and Gardens and has been used for several photo shoots for local businesses. You need to purchase tickets to attend the tour: $35 in advance online; $40 on the day of the tour. An after-party will be open to all tour-goers after the tour at a location and time TBA. For details on all participants and to buy tickets, visit: modernhometours.com/event/2016-portland-modern-home-tour.

League of Women Voters Washington County group formingAfter an absence of ten years, Washington County will again have an active unit of this venerable and valuable organization. The previous group disbanded after the aging members found they didn’t have the energy to recruit members. According to Kathleen Hersh, LWVOR Membership Director, “The Portland League has recently been approached by several people in Washington County requesting that a unit be formed. Two members currently on the state board live in Washington County, and can provide background and expertise. They also agree that there should be a League in a county that is so important to Oregon. We have been excited by the interest and turnout at the two preliminary meetings that have been held.” The League’s purposes are to influence public policy through education and advocacy. It encourages informed and active participation in government in order to build better communities statewide. If you’re interested in learning more about the group and getting involved, please contact Josie Koehne, 503-866-3346 or josephine.koehne@gmail.com. The unit will have its first meeting this summer, TBA.

TVF&R Offers Safety Tips to Beat the Heat This SummerAs warmer temperatures are expected to continue this summer, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue firefighter paramedics remind individuals of all ages to limit their exposure to the sun and heat, and take steps to prevent heat-related illnesses. Unlike traditionally warmer parts of the country, many Oregon homes lack air conditioning, and people aren’t accustomed to dealing with extreme heat. Those most at risk include infants, young children, seniors, and individuals with certain medical conditions such as diabetes. “Complications can result from sunburns,” says Division Chief Mark Charleston. “People with sunburns tend to dehydrate. Avoiding dehydration is an important part of maintaining blood sugar levels.” TVF&R encourages people to limit sun exposure, avoid getting sunburns, and wear shoes when walking on hot pavement to eliminate the chance of getting burns on their feet. Drinking plenty of water and cool fluids and avoiding alcohol will also help to prevent dehydration. Heat also adds stress to the body while people carry out their daily activities and exercise. Working out earlier in the day and shortening that workout to compensate for the heat will limit that stress. Warning signs of heat exhaustion include heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, weakness, dizziness, headache, and fainting. Signs of a heat stroke may include high body temperature; red, hot, dry skin (no sweating); rapid pulse; headache; dizziness; nausea; confusion; or unconsciousness. If you see these signs, seek medical attention and attempt to cool the person with a cool bath or shower, or find a shady or air-conditioned location. For additional safety tips, visit www.tvfr.com.
