 Village Gallery News
The September show will feature students of Village Gallery of Arts watercolor instructor Emma Achleithner. She says of her teaching, "We perceive a class to be comprised of an enthusiastic teacher who teaches and a number of students who are eager to learn. But it's not always that clear cut. Sometimes students will pull ahead of me, taking me down a path I have not been before. I allow the spigot of their muse to open wide and hope for a good outcome. In such cases a quote pops into my head—I must hasten after them for I am their leader." The show opens September 7th through October 3rd.
Dozens of classes for students of all ages and abilities are listed on the website, villagegalleryarts.org, or visit the gallery, 12505 NW Cornell, just east of the library. Call 503-644-8001 for more information. They're open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm, and Sunday, noon to 4 pm.

Organizing Tip
Beth Giles of NW Organizing Solutions asks: How much reading do you actually have time for? Be realistic in the amount of reading materials you bring into your home. Before you buy that new book, consider if you already have some unfinished or even unopened books you should read first. The public library is a wonderful resource for all kinds of books and the great part is that you return them when you're done so they don't need to take up your precious space.
If you have months of unread magazines stacked up or if the daily newspaper is rarely opened, then maybe it's time to cancel some subscriptions. This will save you space, money and the stress of seeing "undone" reading piling up.
Perhaps you don't want to throw out the magazine or newspaper yet because you still want to read a specific article. Remove just that article from the publication and place it in a "to read" folder and then recycle the rest. The next time you are going to be waiting for carpool, a doctor's appointment or plane, take along your reading folder and make your waiting time worthwhile. Many of the articles in these periodicals are also available on line, making them accessible anytime, and they are sometimes easier to locate by specific topic.
For help organizing any space in your home, office or workshop, contact Beth at beth@nworganizingsolutions.com or call 503-709-0791.
Show off your talent at the Farmers' Market
The Cedar Mill Farmers' Market seeks entrants for the annual Cedar Mill Talent Show, to be held at the Farmers' Market on Saturday, September 11. Entry forms are available at the market through Sept. 4, or call Dina Gross at 503-913-7733.
Troy Williver of Morrow's NutHouse will emcee the event with the help of Jill Trenholm, the main entertainer for the day, with her folksy pop style that market guests love. Troy, a fantastic musician in his own right, is going to join in for a few duets with Jill that day.
Cedar Mill is loaded with talented people, so there will certainly be lots of great entrants. Talent for the show does not have to be musical; as in the past, entrants can exhibit all kinds of talent, such as juggling, poetry recitation, caricature-drawing, and so forth. It is open not only to Cedar Mill residents, but also to those who frequent the Cedar Mill Farmers' Market.
A panel of judges will determine which entrants get the prizes, but they are certain to be influenced by audience response, so people should come out and cheer for their favorites. The Talent Show will be held casually throughout the day, from about 10 through 12:30, with prizes to be awarded near the end of the market day.

Virtue of the Month: Helpfulness
"Helpfulness is doing useful things for others—things that make a difference to them, no matter how small. It is taking the time to be thoughtful, reflecting on what people truly need and assisting them respectfully. We help others by doing things they cannot do for themselves.... It takes courage to ask for help when we need it." Linda Kavelin-Popov.
How can we, in Cedar Mill, help each other develop a business community? How can we show the thoughtfulness and respect we have for one another? How do you ask your students to be helpful? What does helpfulness look like in your home?

CMBA and Bales team up to thank Saltzman road crew
On Friday, September 3, Bales store manager Vince Lucibello and CMBA Admin Virginia Bruce hosted a lunch for the hard-working and cheerful crew of Northwest Earthmovers Inc., who have been transforming NW Saltzman Road into a modern thoroughfare. Bales provided grilled hamburgers with all the trimmings, chips and soft drinks. NEI Project Manager Greg Kinnaman expressed the workers' appreciation.
The crew worked overtime to finish the majority of the paving by the Labor Day weekend, but work will continue through the fall to put the finishing touches on the project, including hooking up the new stoplight at Dogwood.
