American Family Insurance offers Teen Safe Driver Program
The Teen Safe Driver Program, an innovative new program that helps young drivers overcome the challenges of learning how to drive, is now available to American Family’s automobile insurance customers in Oregon. This service is offered at no cost to American Family customers with a beginning teen driver in their household.
Teen Safe Driver provides teens and their parents an in-vehicle video and audio unit that captures risky driver behaviors. Parents log in to www.teensafedriver.com to view the driving report card, video events and coaching tips. By helping parents provide guidance to their teens, Teen Safe Driver is achieving a greater than 70 percent reduction in the frequency and severity of risky driving events among these new drivers.
“This is a terrific opportunity for parents to help their young drivers identify the issues that all new drivers share,” said Brian Harvey, a local American Family agent. More information is available from American Family Insurance agent Brian Harvey at 475 NW Saltzman Rd. His office is open Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5:30 pm.

BMC West leaving Cedar Mill
Kurt Andersen, co-owner of Cedar Mill Lumber, announced that BMC West, who has been leasing the building on “Old” Barnes Road for about seven years, will be moving out in December. BMC Building Materials, a division of BMC West, has operations in ten western states, and has a large building materials location in Sherwood. It mainly serves the contractor segment of the building market.
The Andersens will be working with a real estate broker to find a new tenant for the building. BMC moved in when Cedar Mill Lumber shifted their business focus to specialty lumber and landscape materials and moved to their current location behind the street-front building.

Pre-Paid Legal for employees
Many employers offer a Pre-Paid Legal Family Plan membership as an employee benefit. Most employers provide this as a voluntary payroll deduction, so it costs the employer nothing. The employee opts in for the membership, which covers the employee and his immediate family. The plan covers consultations, letters and phone calls made on their behalf, contracts or legal documents reviewed, free standard and living wills prepared, help with unfair traffic tickets, after-hours access to our attorneys (great for families with teen-age drivers !!), representation for civil lawsuits and IRS audits and more. As a payroll deduction, the cost is $16.95 per month or $8.47 per paycheck.
Pre-Paid Legal can come in and do a presentation at lunch or at an employee meeting so they understand the plan. We also have a Small Business Plan for the business owner to use. For more info call Charlene Fredeen, 503-645-6830 or charleneppl@comcast.net
Indoor playground at Cedar Mill Bible Church
This informal playgroup for moms and their preschool children (ages 0-4) meets at CMBC in the Activity Center (gym) from 9-11 am every Monday (except holidays) through the school year. This is a great opportunity to build community and share life with other parents while your kids play and interact with each other in a safe environment. Please note: this is not a “drop-off” for your children. Parents must accompany their OWN children the entire time. This playgroup is free and open to the community.
