Kumon at Progress
Ridge helps students
learn on their own
It’s Time to Get
Ready for the Holidays
at Ace Hardware.
By SCOTT KEITH
S
ome of us simply can’t stand math.
Yet others seem to be human calculators, so good at math that they
are able to work through complicated number formulas with ease. While
some public school students struggle with
their multiplication and division, others
need more of a math challenge from their
teachers. An instructor in the Beaverton area
knows we’re all different when it comes to
learning math and reading. Marga Bailey
works at Kumon at Progress Ridge TownSquare in Beaverton.
Kumon was founded in 1954 in Japan by
a math teacher.
The Kumon program (385 students at
Progress Ridge) helps both remedial students and students who need a greater
challenge. The program, which serves
youngsters from three years of age to 18,
complements traditional school.
“Public schools use more of a conceptual math program. Kumon is a traditional
math, that’s a world-wide math,” Bailey
said. “Colleges teach universal, world-wide
traditional math. Our schools don’t always
do that, so the kids will be much better prepared for college if they have both.”
The Kumon program (available in 47
countries), helps with math and reading and
is based on ability.
“We’re looking at their skill level, where
they’re comfortable. We’re not looking at
whether they’re a fourth, second or a sixth
grader,” Bailey mentioned.
“Most students (in school) are working
at a different level. They’re maybe struggling in school a little bit. So their actual
foundation skills are pretty weak,” Bailey
said. “We have to get those solid before they
can work independently above grade level.
The other piece of Kumon is independence –
learning how to learn on your own.”
Worksheets are critical in the Kumon
program. There’s a complete curriculum
from pre-school levels to college calculus.
“I don’t teach. I facilitate the worksheets
(for reading and math). The teaching is ac-

tually in the worksheets. They learn from
example, they learn from practicing — they
also learn how to think about what the next
little step is, rather than wait for me to show
it to them,” Bailey said.
Kumon is a confidence builder for
youngsters.
“Too many kids don’t have the confidence in math (or reading) — with Kumon,
they get to that confidence level,” Bailey
said.
Bailey, whose background is special education, has been a Kumon instructor for 15
years. She said most parents want the best
for their kids.
“They want their child to do well. That’s
the one thing I love about Kumon. I haven’t
ever had a student that didn’t do well,” Bailey said.
“I love it. That’s why I do it.

TURKEY TIME
at New Seasons Market
But hurry, reservations for your Thanksgiving
turkey are open through November 17
By JORDY BYRD
H
olidays can be stressful. Relatives and in-laws are sometimes
erratic, sometimes the eggnog is
spiked a few thimbles too much
and 20 pound turkeys don’t just cook themselves. But don’t worry — the deli at New
Seasons Market is here to help.
Just in time for Thanksgiving, the deli
will be rolling out hand-made appetizers,
entrées and full dinner packages that will
please your pickiest eater and relative with
SUBMITTED PHOTO
New Seasons Market can provide you with a traditional Thanksgiving feast.
“I think a lot of people find us for the first time at the holidays
and then they become regular shoppers. There is something about
restaurant people that whenever we are pressed, we seem to shine.”
— Ronnie MacQuarrie, Progress Ridge Chef
a gluten allergy.
Progress Ridge Chef Ronnie MacQuarrie and her team are making magic in the
kitchen. MacQuarrie has more than 20
years of cooking experience and about
seven years experience with New Seasons
Market under her apron.
“Food has just always been a big part
of my life,” she said. “I really enjoy my job
here. It’s a fantastic place to work and we
get to work with great product.”
The California native studied at the
New England Culinary Institute. While
working in San Francisco, she visited Portland, fell in love, and immediately moved
to the city she now calls home. MacQuarrie said New Seasons Market at Progress
Ridge is gearing up for the busiest time of
year.
“I think a lot of people find us for the
first time at the holidays and then they become regular shoppers,” she said. “There
is something about restaurant people that
whenever we are pressed, we seem to
shine.”
The deli’s grab-and-go case will feature
a variety of baked bries, artichoke dip,
caramelized shallot dip, clam dip, smoked
salmon spreads and more. Side dishes include a variety of orange glazed yams,
roasted root vegetables, brussels sprouts,
buttermilk mashed potatoes, green beans
with wild mushrooms, potato sage rolls,
scalloped potatoes, quinoa mushroom
stuffing, cornbread stuffing, savory bread
stuffing, soup, gravy, cranberry sauce and
more.
“The side dish package is really popular,” MacQuarrie said. ”It kind of takes
some of the stress out of the holiday.”
Less experienced cooks or those just
rushed for time, may also choose from a
menu of packaged dinners. A traditional
turkey package dinner feeds four to six, or
eight to 10 people, and includes a choice of
stuffing, vegetables, pumpkin pie, dinner
rolls and a precooked Diestel turkey which
takes about two to three hours finished
baking time at home.
The turkey dinner for two package includes a choice of stuffing and vegetables,
roasted butternut squash soup, rolls, turkey gravy and cranberry sauce, a stuffed
Diestel turkey breast chop and vanilla
poached pear and almond tarts.
The gluten free dinner package (items
can be purchased separately) feeds four to
six people and includes a Diestel turkey,
quinoa stuffing with mushrooms and kale,
buttermilk mashed potatoes, vegetables,
turkey gravy, gluten free corn bread muffins and gluten-free pumpkin cheesecake.
The spiral sliced ham dinner feeds six
to eight people and includes 3-4 pounds of
fully cooked, Beeler’s boneless spiral orange-glazed ham, butternut squash soup,
scalloped potatoes, choice of two sides,
cranberry sauce or apple chutney, rolls
and a pumpkin pie.
Ordering a delicious Thanksgiving
feast — don’t forget dessert — is as easy as
walking in the store or visiting New Seasons Market online. The holiday hot lines
open now through Nov. 17. During that
time frame, customers can make a reservation online or come into a storefront and
place their order face-to-face at a “turkey
table.”
New Seasons Market will also offer a
turkey hotline at 503-473-8695 where customers can discuss their reservation or
ask a professional for tips and cooking advice. “We want people to get answers and
feel more confident about their meal,” MacQuarrie said.
Last minute shoppers need not worry.
The deli case will be fully stocked and
ready for last minute cancellations or mishaps in the kitchen.
“We always make it to the end and try
to have as many options available,” MacQuarrie said. “We don’t want to disappoint
anyone on their holiday.”
New Seasons Market at Progress Ridge
is located at 14805 SW Barrows Road in
Beaverton. The market is open daily from
8 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, call
503-597-6777 or visit newseasonsmarket.

Turkey tips
n Progress Ridge Chef Ronnie MacQuarrie encourages patrons to try the Turkey
Brine Willamette Valley Chardonnay.
The brine comes in a half gallon jug and
combines untreated sea salt, bay leaves
and black pepper. Brining the turkey gives
it more flavor and keeps it moist, she said.
MacQuarrie said the easiest way to
brine the turkey is to place the bird in
a food safety plastic bag, pour the brine
over the turkey, seal it and then roast the
turkey in a roasting pan until the brine
gets to all parts of the turkey.
Progress Ridge New Season’s Market Chef Ronnie MacQuarrie readies the food staff for the many Thanksgiving dinner orders they will receive this holiday.

Putting your pet’s health care first
Banfield’s wellness programs keep cats and dogs happy and fit
By SCOTT KEITH
P
Banfield Pet Hospital Veterinarian Sarah S. Dougherty examines Bailey, an 11-yearold chocolate Labrador at the Progress Ridge location.
ets are no different than
humans. As your animals age, they can develop conditions or diseases
that demand prompt medical attention. Pets also face emergencies. It’s hard to think about it,
but your cat could get hit by a car
or your dog could ingest a harmful substance. In these situations,
you want a pet hospital right
around the corner.
Since October, Banfield Pet
Hospital at Progress Ridge TownSquare in Beaverton has been
tending to the needs of our furry
companions. Banfield Pet Hospital is a full-service clinic that
offers a broad range of care for
animals, including preventive
care, routine dental cleanings and
vaccines. According to veterinarian Sarah Dougherty, the clinic
has two full-time veterinarians
and four full-service exam rooms.
Plans are to add a part-time vet in
the weeks ahead.
On any given day, a pet hospital faces a variety of scenarios. “Common things are a dog got
into the trash, or the cat ate some
string,” Dougherty said. More
serious situations at her clinic
may require X-ray and radiology
equipment. “We have full digital
X-ray.”
Banfield Pet Hospital stresses
preventive care. If you have just
adopted a pet, doctors at the Progress Ridge clinic can give you
valuable advice.
“Preventive care is crucial in
the loving of that pet,” Dougherty
said. “It’s proven that preventive
care, every year (or every six
months), is crucial for extending
the life and health of that pet.”
Banfield Pet Hospital sells dog food that best suits each pet.
When you bring your new pet
to Banfield Pet Hospital, your doctor will be happy to discuss the
importance of preventive care.
They will provide exams, vaccines and checks for intestinal
parasites and heart worm disease.
While prevention is important, animals can develop diseases over a lifetime, some serious. These may include feline
distemper, leukemia, kidney
disease, dental disease and diabetes. Even obesity, a growing
human problem, can strike your
cat or dog. If you want to get a
head start on preventive care,
consider the Wellness Plan. It’s
“a great way to package the preventive care that pet needs for
the year — two full comprehensive exams a year, fecal testing,
deworming, vaccines, baseline
blood work,” Dougherty said,
adding there are Wellness Plans
for different stages in a pet’s life. Doctors at Banfield Pet Hospital
help make the exam process a bit
easier for animals. Like humans,
animals get jittery during the
examination process. Owners, if
they choose, can ease the stress
by joining their pets in the exam
room.
“They (pets) definitely do get
nervous, but we are well accustomed to that. We definitely help
accommodate each pet (and family member),” Dougherty pointed
out. Leaving the clinic, you may
notice the many pet-friendly

Piccolo Mondo offers innovative
toys for all ages of children
M
ost people never really get tired of toy stores.
There’s a fascination with toys that lasts a lifetime. At Progress Ridge TownSquare in Beaverton, Piccolo Mondo Toys has gift ideas for
all ages. Piccolo Mondo offers a variety of fun and
educational products.
Brios toys, including the classic railway system, are available at Piccolo Mondo Toys.
According to store manager Heather Jones, there are “lots
of great toys and games. We’re all about education and learning
through toys,” Jones said, pointing out that her store features both
international brands and locally-made products.
Her store offers a variety of toy lines. “We’ve got recognizable
brands like Mattel, but then we have brands that you don’t see every
day.”
Piccolo Mondo translates to “small world” in Italian, and you’ll
notice an international flavor as you visit the toy store. There’s even
a “Cultural Focus” window display featuring a new country every
month.
Jones describes the look customers have when they visit Piccolo
Mondo for the first time.
“They come in and they just kind of stop in mid-doorway and
have this odd look on their face,” Jones said. “Their face lights up.”

responsibility.
Just
what products will
your newborn need?
Posh Baby at Progress Ridge
TownSquare has all the answers.
Not only do they offer products
for pregnant moms, but they
also cover the needs of children

said Posh Baby offers a widerange of products including: belly
bands, child carriers, strollers,
cribs, mattresses, bedding, room
decor, feeding utensils, toys and
books.
Posh Baby is careful to evaluate products before introducing
them at the store.
“Our store owner takes a lot
of time in searching for products
for her customers,” Stedman said,
noting that Posh Baby carries
items made of the highest standards and from the safest materials. “The last thing you want to be
doing is having a child drinking
from a cup that is not safe, that
may have toxins — we go above
and beyond to make sure that all
of our products meet and exceed
all safety standards for kids.”
Posh Baby also offers services
for the new mom or soon-to-bemom.
“We offer many services,
such as the baby registry ... where
they can sign up with us in the
store. We are happy to walk them
around, demonstrate and talk
about all of our products,” Stedman said. “They’re free to go

them on the back. According to
information from Sid Dickens,
“Each incorporates a unique
piece of history in a very modern way.” There are more than
70 tiles to choose from.
A Flair for Gifts and Home
owner Michelle Bottaro said
these tiles (each roughly the size
of a paperback novel) can be displayed in many ways.
“I have them at my home. I
have a wall of them in my family room,” Bottaro said. “But
then I also have them displayed
around the house on stands —
their website (www.siddickens.
com) is abound with pictures of
how their collectors have chosen
to display their pieces.”
The Sid Dickens line of Memory Blocks is ever-changing.

do hold their value and they do
hold that collector’s piece,” Bottaro added.
Memory Blocks have themes.
“There’s this tile called Marriage, another tile that’s about
Friendship. We had a customer
that bought the Marriage tile for
an anniversary gift for her husband,” Bottaro said.
Bottaro has 20 of the tiles on
display at her Progress Ridge
store, but several other tiles
are available. Tiles can also be
ordered at A Flair for Gifts and
Home. Each tile costs $79.99, a
price set by Sid Dickens.
Bottaro is thrilled to be a Sid
Dickens retail store. “I’m a Sid
Dickens fan. I’m very excited...
Our customers have been very
favorable.”
