| Featured artists Liz Walker and Michael Mason exhibit captivating originals for sale in the newly-remodeled salon. |
Sara Hogan, who worked as a hairdresser at Mr. James Hairstyling for 16 years, and her husband Mike, bought the business earlier this year when James Newcomer retired. They’ve been busy remodeling and decorating the space. Sara had just returned from a trip to her native Iran, and everything was nearly ready. Unfortunately, Sara and Mike were in a motorcycle accident that forced them to close for a few weeks.
They’re back, the space is beautiful, and they want to welcome new and old clients to experience the difference. Several of the regular stylists from Mr. James are still there, including Beverly Hickok, Jennifer Bueffel, and Kay Von Cunning. They’re also looking for a few additional independent contractors to work full or part-time in their busy location.
The salon offers hairstyling to men, women, teens, and children, and also sells products from Redken, Matrix, Sebastian, Paul Mitchell, and Joico. They’re located in the Milltowner Center at Cornell and Saltzman. Regular hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10-6, but they’re happy to work with your schedule for Sunday, Monday, or evening appointments. Walk-ins welcome too!
They’ll be holding a Grand Opening Celebration on August 5-6 to coincide with the Summer Fete, along with the Libertine Deli, Mike’s Auto Parts and Ace Hardware, who will all be providing activities and goodies. Be sure to stop by.
Summer travel is on people’s minds, and Tire Factory, just off Murray south of Highway 26, has great deals on the right tires for summer. Going camping or fishing? Choose the Falken Wild Peak A/T for SUVs and light trucks. Visiting across the state? The Hankook Optimo H727 or the Nokian eNTYRE is perfect for the family wagon. From July 11 through August 30, you’ll get a $75 VISA gift card with the purchase of a set of four of any of these tires.

It’s an opportunity to safely explore riding your bicycle with family and friends.
“Unity is a powerful virtue and it brings great strength. Unity is inclusiveness. It brings people together. We see our commonality without devaluing our differences. We experience our connectedness with all people and all life. Unity frees us from the divisiveness of prejudice and heals our fears.”
“The Practice of Unity: I am a lover of humanity. I seek common ground. I appreciate differences. I resolve conflict peacefully. I honor the value of each individual. I am a unifier.” Virtues Reflection Cards, Linda Kavelin Popov.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_143085841889

Rebecca Magby of Everything Baby LLC will be joining us again to teach us what child predators don’t want you to know. We grew-up with the phrase “don’t talk to strangers” drilled into us, but what our parents did not know is that children cannot understand who a stranger is. During this 2 hour class, we will talk about ploys child predators use to exploit our children, why ‘stranger danger’ doesn’t work, how to prepare your children should they get lost, and so much more!
Beyond Stranger Danger is July 7, at the World of Smiles, Pediatric Dentistry office. The class starts at 6 pm, and is $10 for individuals and $15 for parenting partners. To enroll, e-mail Rebecca at rebecca@everythingbabyllc.com.
Then join us and pump it up with Melissa Buechler of Baby Boot Camp – Portland Metro West!

Melissa keeps the workout accessible and effective for everyone! The July 22 class starts with a 9:15 check-in and will end at 10:30.

It's moving season and Americans are once again facing the stress of packing their lives into boxes and hoping everything arrives in one piece. Once you choose that perfect home, the packing professionals at The UPS Store® located at 10940 SW Barnes Rd., Portland, OR 97225 want to help ensure that your precious household items arrive in one piece.
Despite reasonable fears about broken items, a majority of Americans still try to get by with packing items in newspaper, clothes, sheets, towels or blankets, or tissue paper, rather than seeking professional recommendations on packing supplies.
Tim offers the following suggestions to help you take control of your next big move:
Come to The UPS Store® and get a great deal on new boxes of all sizes, specially engineered to withstand the stress of a move. Moving boxes are on sale for 50% off until the end of August.
Buy enough of the right materials. By using the right packaging materials, including bubble pack and foam packing peanuts, there is less of a chance that your dishes or family heirlooms will end up in pieces.
Leave it to professionals to handle large, expensive or irreplaceable items. The UPS Store® offers packing and freight services, which can be an affordable and reliable alternative to standard movers.
For those move-it-yourselfers, The UPS Store® carries all types of moving supplies, packaging tape, bubble pack, and foam packaging peanuts.
The UPS Store® in the Peterkort Towne Square is open Monday thru Friday 9-7 and Saturday 9-5. For more information, call 503-646-9999 or visit our website at www.theupsstore.com/3379.htm.
Dr. Tamara Justus is a board certified orthodontist in the Portland area creating spectacular smiles for children and adults. At Justus Orthodontics you will receive exceptional care and commitment to superior orthodontic treatment. We always offer a complimentary evaluation and to help celebrate the start of summer, we are offering free records (x-rays, molds of their teeth and pictures of their face and teeth that is used as information to confirm a diagnosis—valued at $250) for any patient who starts treatment with us prior to August 31, 2011!
Did you know that the right time for an orthodontic check-up is no later than age seven? That is what the American Association of Orthodontists recommends. At an early age Dr. Justus can spot subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some baby teeth are still present. The check-up may reveal that your child’s bite is fine. Or, Dr. Justus may identify a developing problem, but recommend monitoring your child’s growth and development, and then, if indicated, begin treatment at the appropriate time for your child. In other cases, Dr. Justus may find a problem that can benefit from early treatment. By having an early orthodontic evaluation, you’ll be giving your child the best opportunity for a healthy, beautiful smile!
If you have been considering orthodontic treatment for yourself, or for your child, we invite you to meet with Dr. Justus. At Justus Orthodontics, our team members strive to give compassionate, personalized care. We believe that you will see the difference in choosing Dr. Justus and what better time than now! Contact us at www.justusorthodontics.com or 503-352-3800 today.
