The UPS store helps you take control for a stress-free move
by Tim Kimble
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. It’s estimated that 42 million Americans move each year and average 11.7 moves in their lifetime, with more than 20 percent of those moves ending in a different state.
Once you choose that perfect home, the packing professionals at The UPS Store® want to help ensure that your precious household items arrive in one piece. Despite notable 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.
Don’t dumpster dive. Instead of digging through the dumpster at a local supermarket looking for used boxes, which aren’t sturdy enough to withstand a 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 packaging peanuts, there is less of a chance that your dishes or family heirlooms will end up in pieces. After you’re settled into your new home or apartment, bring your clean foam packaging peanuts to your nearby UPS Store for reuse.
Leave it to professionals to handle large, expensive or irreplaceable items. The UPS Store® offers 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, such as small, medium and large boxes, dish pack and wardrobe boxes, packaging tape, bubble pack, and foam packaging peanuts. Additionally, many movers take advantage of the mailbox services at The UPS Store®, including mail receiving and mail forwarding, which are especially useful for people moving into temporary housing.
The UPS Store® is located at 10940 SW Barnes Rd. and is open Monday thru Friday 9 am to 7pm and Saturday 9 am to 5 pm. For more information, call 503-646-9999 or visit our website at www.theupsstore.com/3379.htm.
A water challenge
Jim Craig’s Westside Martial Arts, 13496 NW Cornell Rd. is in the business of challenging people to push their limits. However, in this summer heat, you have to exercise common sense as well as your body. Pace yourself and relegate your outdoor projects to either the cooler early mornings or early evenings. Drink lots of water! We all know, water is life. So let’s not waste it.
Water your garden in the early morning or evening, avoid watering in the heat of the day as you will lose most of the water due to evaporation. Is it really necessary to power wash your driveway? Since the lawn doesn’t provide humans with food, hold off on watering the lawn. Grass goes dormant in the summer heat anyway and will green up again in the fall.
Here’s a challenge for all you home owners: Start rationing water now, before the County mandates it. Global warming is very real, and water will become a valuable commodity. Please don’t waste it! Conservation of our resources will go a long way towards maintaining our quality of life, so be the first one on your block to start.
Teach your children that our bodies are 70% water, not soda pop, and that water needs to be replenished. Drink lots of water. Try putting a few drops of lemon or lime juice in a glass of water, or a sprig of mint for a refreshing change of pace.
Make healthy choices, for you, your family, and the planet. I look forward to seeing all of you at the Concert in the Park at Cedar Mill Park on August 6th.

Kay Bridges leads workshop
New CMBA member Kay Bridges, an Independent Nikken Wellness Consultant, delivered a speech and presentation at the Toastmasters Leadership Institute, July 18th at Wilsonville High School on leadersip training for new club officers. Newly installed Vice Presidents of Public Relations for the District were in attendance. Ideas for Marketing of their clubs and Public Relations techniques were discussed... including hints for writing Press Releases in a manner acceptable by their local newspapers.
Bridges says, “Toastmasters has been most valuable to me in practicing my listening skills. I thought I was joining to become a better speaker. I really needed to learn to listen and remember what I heard to be a better leader in my business. In Toastmasters we learn to evaluate a speech within minutes of the presentation, and offer constructive suggestions and then sum up with an overview of the best qualities of the speech.”
