Business News
Cedar Mill 7-Eleven Store closingWe just received word that the store at the corner of Saltzman and Cornell will be closing on July 24. According to a clerk at the store, employees are applying for transfers to other stores, so it’s not likely that the corporation is planning to open another store in the area in the near future. She mentioned that their lease was up and the company chose not to renew it. The store is corporate-owned—some stores are owned by franchisees, but this one is not. We’re reaching out to the corporation but haven’t heard anything at this point. New owner, new services at Mailboxes and MoreVan Treska and his wife Lana purchased the Mailboxes and More business, located in the “triangle” shopping center on Saltzman, just south of Cornell, earlier this year. They provide a variety of products and services for businesses and individuals, including, of course, mailboxes, and assistance with packaging and shipping for US Postal Service, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. They also carry greeting cards, stationery, and office and packaging supplies. They can cut keys for you, or order rubber stamps.
Need to send a fax or make a copy? They have the technology! Talented employees Ben, Justin, and Brian can also help with design and layout for flyers and other business printing, including binding and laminating. Printing and copying is self-service or full-service, your choice. The new service they can provide is “Notary on the Run,” a 24/7 mobile Notary service. Families sometimes need to have important documents notarized for a family member with limited mobility. Or something needs to be signed and notarized outside regular business hours. Van Treska is available 24/7 to help with this service, at 503-644-8504. The store is located at 515 NW Saltzman. Regular hours are Monday-Friday 8 am-7 pm, and Saturdays 9 am to 3 pm. Their informative website, which includes package tracking, is pdxmailboxesandmore.com. Cheese tasting at Dinihanian Farm

HealthSource Doctors are offering a Complimentary Community Service Health Screenings (a $189 value) in exchange for canned food / non-perishable donations, or children’s book donation. The 19-point screenings can help track down even the smallest amounts of pain, including those suffering from 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. (This offer does not apply to federal beneficiaries and ACN participants.) “Many people don’t realize that this can be one of the toughest times of the year for the local food banks, shelters and Salvation Army. We tend to forget about those in need outside of the holiday season. Even though we’re still half-a-year away from the holidays, we thought an early celebration could help jump-start the collections for local donations,” said HealthSource CEO Dr. Chris Tomshack. “Together, we can all help build a stronger, healthier community.” 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. Children’s books will be donated to the clubs, Salvation Army and shelters that will always love and appreciate the donations coming in. To find out more about this year’s Children’s Health Month & “Christmas in July” canned-food drive contact HealthSource at 503-746-5085. The “New” Nobleoni
