Cedar Mill at the Olympic TrialsDr. Lauren McCabe of Cedar Mill Chiropractic Clinic is part of a select group of medical providers from all over the US who have been invited to treat the athletes at the US Track and Field Olympic Trials in Eugene. Dr. McCabe will join other chiropractors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, orthopedists, and other specialists to ensure that athletes competing for a spot on the US Olympic team are performing at their best.

Donations for IndependenceAs a July 4 special, Refinish First will be donating an additional 4% (in addition to their regular 3% donation) to local charities in the name of the customers who schedule work with them in July. See Featured Business article for more information on them and the charities they support. Expert in Euro WineIn preparation for their upcoming move and expansion, The Wine Cellar has hired a new European wine expert, Reed Goldsmith. Reed recently moved from Hilton Head, S.C., where he was a wine buyer for the Hilton Head Resort, following an early retirement from a distinguished career as a French Language and French Literature teacher. His passion certainly is French wine, but with affections for Italian and Spanish wines as well. With the recent closure of Cornell Wine Co, which specialized in European wines, The Wine Cellar thought it was the right time to expand. Goldsmith’s knowledge excellently complements owner Erin Palmer’s expertise in Pacific NW wines. Their new location will have plenty of space for an expanded wine selection. The new Wine Cellar is scheduled to open in early August at 525 NW Saltzman Road, in the old Scrapbook Attack space, near DQ. For more information visit www.portlandwinecellar.com. They will continue their weekly wine tastings on Friday afternoons through the end of July at their old location. Village Gallery News

HealthSource doctors are offering FREE Community Service Health Screenings (a $189 value) in exchange for canned food / non-perishable donations. The 19-point screening can help track down even the smallest amount of pain, including a wide range of problems such as low back pain, headaches, neck pain, shoulder or arm pain, bulging or herniated discs, leg pain, numbness and more. Even X-Rays will be included if necessary. “Many people don’t realize that this can be one of the toughest times of the year for the local food banks and shelters. We tend to forget about those in need outside of the holiday season. We thought an early celebration could help jump-start the collections for local food donations,” said HealthSource CEO Dr. Chris Tomshack. “Together, we can all help build a stronger, healthier community.” Donations will be collected at HealthSource of Cedar Mill all month long. They are located at 13305 NW Cornell Road Suite E Portland, Or 97229. Food banks across the country are reporting a record number of Americans seeking food this year. The USDA reported in November 2009 that an estimated 49 million people, including 17 million children are at risk of hunger. To find out more about this year’s “Christmas in July” canned-food drive, contact HealthSource of Cedar Mill at 503-746-5085. Take the “Lug” Out of LuggageThe UPS Store located at 10940 SW Barnes Rd. can ease air travelers’ burdens with luggage shipping alternatives that help reduce the hassle of long lines, security searches and increasing baggage fees. “Not having to carry a suitcase while traveling is a great convenience. Even better is luggage awaiting your arrival at a destination or hotel,” said Tim Kimble, The UPS Store owner. “You can ship your luggage as is; place it in a box for shipment, or purchase a luggage box, eliminating the need for a suitcase altogether.” The UPS Store’s luggage options offer several conveniences: Planning ahead allows travelers to choose a less expensive shipping option like UPS Ground service. Travelers can easily track shipments with UPS mobile apps for cell phones, PDAs or other web-enabled wireless devices or receive e-mail shipment notification. The UPS Store specializes in packing odd, oversized items, such as skis, golf clubs, and fishing poles—items travelers would prefer to have waiting at their destination. The UPS Store Luggage Box comes in two sizes and includes a sturdy handle. Pack it, ship it, check it, or carry it on. Because it weighs less than an empty suitcase, packing directly into the box can help lower shipping costs. Both luggage boxes meet airline baggage restrictions for travelers opting to fly with their belongings. The small box can be carried on and the large box can be checked in, minimizing the chance of paying airline oversize or overweight charges. The luggage boxes have been professionally tested. For additional information, visit www.theupsstorelocal.com/3379 or call 503-646-9999. National Day of Dance comes to the GrangeNational Day of Dance is July 28.

In times of joy our strength is more vital, our intellect keener, and our understanding less clouded. We seem better able to cope with the world and to find our sphere of influence." –Abdu'l-Baha Joyfulness is an inner wellspring of peace and happiness. It is beyond ordinary happiness because it is not an occasional emotional reaction to luck or circumstances. It is a deep sense of wellbeing that fills us with delight and hope. We appreciate the gift of life, and savor its richness. The Practice of Joyfulness: I have a deep sense that life is good. I enjoy the richness of life's experiences. I appreciate simple pleasures. I am optimistic and hopeful. I am in touch with my purpose. I feel inner peace even when life is difficult. Affirmation: I am thankful for the gift of Joyfulness. It is the natural state of my soul.” Linda Kavelin Popov, Virtues Reflection The New Thought Center for Spiritual Living and the Baha'i Community are joyful sponsors of Virtues Day Camp for children (ages 4-12) and Parenting Class with Virtues July 30 to Aug 2 at Beaverton Baha'i Center.

| Sean Bucknam of Impact Sign (striped socks) celebrates with his teammates |
Did you know that Beaverton has the highest number of homeless students in Oregon? Beaverton’s homeless student population has now risen to 1,580 individuals. This year the class of Leadership Beaverton put on a kickball tournament in association with Homeplate Youth Services called ‘Homeruns for Homeless Youth.’
Impact Sign Co. helped the cause by donating all the signage for the event, including welcome banners, table information graphics, and sponsor signs. In addition to the signage, Sean Bucknam played for the Beaverton Chamber Board of Directors Team and helped beat the seasoned Underdog Kickball Team for the First Place trophy. The event was a huge success, raising more than $13,000 for Home Plate Youth Services.
Under a brightly painted tent tucked into a wooded hillside, a small group of children sew together different bits of colored fabric to form a personalized quilt block. Just down the hill, four other tents host elementary-age students creating metal jewelry, ceramic vessels, printmaking plates and narrative paintings.

| Art Adventures students learn printmaking and other media. Photo Stephen Funk Photography |
For over a decade, the Oregon College of Art and Craft (OCAC) has turned over its ten-acre campus on SW Barnes Road every summer to the Jordan Schnitzer Family Art Adventures Youth day camp, which gives children in grades 1-5 an opportunity to spend the warm vacation days learning four art media each week under the guidance of professional local artists.
This year, OCAC has added Young Adult camp for middle school students. It is modeled on Art Adventures, but offers two in-depth areas of study for participants which take place in two of the college’s seven media-specific art studios.
OCAC is located at 8245 SW Barnes Road. Youth camp is $300 per week, Young Adult $325 per week. Camps run 9 am-5 pm, Monday-Friday, with before and after care options available at an additional charge.
For more information about these camps, visit www.ocac.edu/register or call OCAC at 971.255.4205. While all but one of the Young Adult Sessions is filled, OCAC does maintain a waiting list should spots become available. Additionally, there are some Youth camp spaces still available in all of the July and August sessions.
Dinihanians in bloom!Dinihanian’s Farm Market, tucked away behind the holly trees on Cornell, just east of the Highway 26 overpass, has locally-sourced fruits and veggies all throughout the growing season. Look for the long driveway entrance opposite Sunset Presbyterian. They also run a CSA where you can buy seasonal “shares” and get a week’s worth of what’s in season; visit www.yourcsa.com for info.
New this year are bedding plants, perennials and annuals, and hanging baskets. They are on sale now, while supplies last. Local cherries, blueberries and raspberries are in season now, along with seasonal veggies.
Co-owner Lillian Logan reminds us, “Also new this year are our meat CSA's. The local natural beef and chickens are available for purchase in our farm market as well.” And they also have local eggs.
Any questions, call Butch at 503-432-6235 or visit www.yourcsa.com
