"Change Your Energy - Change Your Life" free class May 26

Subtle energy, the invisible aspect of our being, is an integral part of our every day experience, whether we are consciously aware of it or not. The condition of our energy anatomy directly influences us on many levels: physical, mental, emotional. When our energy fields are clear and strong, we enjoy a physically vibrant body; quietness of mind; and emotional balance / calmness in stressful situations. When the energy field is compromised or depleted, these qualities are impaired, possibly contributing to burnout, job dissatisfaction and personal illness.

Expect traffic delays due to waterline replacement in Lake Oswego

Submitted by KATU Communities Staff

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012, 10:11am

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. -- Work to replace a waterline on A Avenue in the westbound lanes between Fourth and Tenth Streets is underway in Lake Oswego.

Traffic will be reduced to one lane at times on westbound A Avenue and connecting streets, and flaggers may be used to help traffic pass through the area. The work will require temporary, short term closures of the alleys on the north side of A Avenue. In addition, eastbound lanes will be temporarily affected as connections are made to the south side of A Avenue. Work for this phase of A Avenue construction will be completed by June 15. Paving is expected to begin in early July.

Call the Construction Hotline at 503-635-0261 for updates.

'Stamp Out Hunger' today

Submitted by KATU Communities Staff

Saturday, May 12th, 2012, 7:33am

PORTLAND, Ore. – If you’re feeling charitable, you can help "stamp out hunger" on Saturday.

“Stamp Out Hunger” is the annual food drive by the Oregon Food Bank and Oregon State Association of Letter Carriers. Postal carriers in Oregon and southwest Washington delivered 1.5 million yellow, biodegradable bags to homes this week.

If you would like to donate, simply fill the bag with non-perishable food – like canned soups, cereal and pasta – and leave it outside for your mail carrier. Items like peanut butter and tuna fish are in high demand for kids, since schools and food pantries need help with their summer lunch programs.

“Nobody raises more food in one day than letter carriers do across the country by l,” said Kevin Card, the president of the Oregon State Association of Letter Carriers. “It's that one time we can work with our customers to do something really incredible.”

The drive can bring in two million pounds of food for Oregon and southwest Washington; however, donations were down by 18 percent last year. Organizers do not know the reason.
