In July, Sultanov Russian Ballet Academy held their first summer camp at their new studio in Cedar Mill. Artur Sultanov, Artistic Director of the Academy and current lead dancer of the Oregon Ballet Theatre, was the instructor.
Children travelled from faraway places such as Tacoma, Astoria, Salem, and Gresham for this exclusive opportunity to train with Mr. Sultanov. One student even commuted daily from the Oregon coast to attend this week-long summer intensive. Mr Sultanov’s reputation—both as a dancer and teacher in the Portland Metro area—has attracted many aspiring dancers to his new studio on NW Cornell Rd. These young students who ranged in age from 10-19 took a master workshop in ballet technique, pointe, jazz, Russian Character, and Contemporary ballet with live drum accompaniment.
Mr. Sultanov and his wife Cynthia (co-founder of SRBA) are excited to be a part of the Beaverton/Portland arts community. The school is currently accepting students for their Fall dance program. For more information, visit www.russianballetacademy.com. The school is located near Bales Thriftway at 12849 NW Cornell Road.

Sunset Science Park Federal Credit Union, and their online applications, were the subject of a feature article in the national CU Times newspaper. The paper noted that the CU has its own iPhone app, along with a full-featured web interface that allows customers to do most banking tasks online. The small (2000 member) credit union has been able to offer these features by partnering with other small companies who provide the technical savvy. Read the article at cutimes.com (search for Sunset) or get a reprint at the CU.

Lifeline with AutoAlert features the only pendant-style help button that can automatically call for help if a fall is detected and a senior is unable to push the help button. According to an internal laboratory study of simulated falls, Lifeline with AutoAlert detected 95 percent of many types of falls and had a low rate of false alarms.
Among seniors, falls are the leading cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma, as well as injury-related deaths. Close to 50 percent of seniors can’t get up from a fall without help, and lying on the floor for an extended period of time can lead to serious complications, including: pressure ulcers, muscle necrosis, dehydration, hypothermia and pneumonia.
Lifeline with AutoAlert is designed to help reduce the risk of long lie times. If a fall victim receives help more quickly, that may reduce emotional distress and potential costs of extended treatment, rehabilitation and supported living.
With AutoAlert, if a fall is detected, subscribers receive quick access to assistance even in situations where they can’t push their button, for example, if they lose consciousness, become immobilized, forget to push their button or won’t push their button because they feel they can manage the situation independently. Just as important, the service can provide added confidence and peace of mind to the 22 million seniors who fear falling.
“One of the greatest threats to seniors’ health is falls and associated injuries,” said Grant Hamilton. “For about the cost of a cup of coffee a day, we are proud to give seniors in our community a meaningful and needed service, allowing them to have the confidence to continue to live in the homes they love, knowing that they can get help when they need it.” For more information about Lifeline with AutoAlert, please call 1-800-372-4127.
Grace is our connection to the Divine, a sense that we are loved and provided for in all circumstances. It is opening ourselves to bounty. Grace inspires us to give unconditional love to others. When we are gracious and elegant, others are drawn to our company. With grace, we can turn every communication and relationship into a thing of beauty. We grow in grace when we treat others with dignity, kindness and exquisite courtesy, and whenever we forgive. As we connect deeply with grace, we become the presence of grace to others.
