Clark Lumber Hardware

We Like To Help Folks Build!

By Hanna Cool, Clark Lumber Photos by Carly Carpenter

I

f you are in search of inspiration for your next home project, look no further than Clark Lumber Hardware, a charming local business located right off Tonquin Road!

Built with a passion for helping people, Clark Lumber Hardware was founded in 1965 by Earl Clark. Their original location was in Tualatin, a building you may remember seeing if you ever took a drive down Tualatin-Sherwood Road. Today, Clark’s is run by his great granddaughter, Stacey Clark. She knew from a young age that she wanted to carry on this family name and become a fourth generation business owner.

standing water after the 1996 Tualatin River floods, this paramount local business was decimated in July of 2016 by a massive fire. After only a few hours, over 50 years of history were destroyed and it was all deemed a total loss.

Clark, the 1989 Sherwood High School graduate, recalls working afternoons and weekends when she was growing up, “I always had to prove myself to clients and customers - but you learn a lot really quickly when your family runs a building supply business.” Lucky for her, she had the inside look at both sides of the business - her father ran the floor and her mother kept the books.

This local staple has not had the easiest history though.

Aside from having to recover from eight inches of 6 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • MAY 2022

In typical Clark Lumber style, they were up and operating out of a small construction trailer in a couple days’ time. They managed to keep business afloat by delivery and custom orders. “There were days it felt like nothing was different, until you looked outside and saw ashes,” jokes Stacey. Less than one year after the fire, Clark Lumber Hardware had laid it’s new roots at their current location, nestled perfectly in between Sherwood, Wilsonville and Tualatin.

Unfortunately, tragedy would not stop there. In 2018, the guiding force of Clark’s died. Stacey’s father, Harvey, had run Clark Lumber Hardware for the majority of his adult life. His passing was felt by many, but the strength of this business lives on today through Stacey. “Taking care of my community is important,” she said. “All of those generations who built this, the legacy, it keeps me going.”

With so much history behind them, Clark Lumber Hardware believes that everyone has a place at their store; whether you’re an expert contractor or a do-it-yourself novice. Their team has over 150 years of collective experience, ranging from electrical, plumbing, construction and even gardening! They are ready to assist you with whatever questions you may have.

While their current location is slightly smaller than their Tualatin predecessor, Stacey is still excited about what the future holds for Clark Lumber Hardware. If they do not have exactly what you are looking for in stock, they will order it for you at no additional cost.

Even in recent years as online tutorials have become more prevalent, Stacey still believes that brick and mortar stores are as crucial as ever. “You can only learn so much from a YouTube video,” Stacey said. “Come in and let

us help you with your project.” In fact, they even offer local delivery for those big items you may not be able to haul home yourself.

Their motto, “We like to help folks build!” is felt throughout the entire store. Whether that’s building a new room in a house or simply hanging

picture frames in a hallway, their experts are always ready to assist.

Clark Lumber Hardware is located at 11234 SW Tonquin Road in Sherwood.

BEAUTY TIPS

DIVINE COMPLEXIONS

Xeomin,What Is It?

By Christine Lewy, Beauty Expert

Have you had a Botox injection before?

H

Christine Lewy

Licensed Esthetician, Owner of Divine Complexions Spa, Regional YUMI Lashes Educator and West Coast Regional Glo Skin Beauty Makeup Artist. may always be the line. So in the industry, getting it younger has become more popular.

ave you had Botox…or was it Xeomin, Dysport, or Jeauveu, or maybe you don’t even know which brand it was, that’s ok!

The technical term for Botox is a Neuromodulator. There are a few brands of neuromodulators that people sometimes all loosely use the term “Botox” for, when in reality there are different brands. Xeomin is just that, a brand of neuromodulator.

Xeomin is different than brand Botox in that it doesn’t contain a protein Botox does. This protein is what some clients feel they build up a resistance to overtime and Botox discontinues to be effective for them. This may or may not happen to you. With Xeomin on the other hand there is no chance of building up a resistance.

What does a neuromodulator do? It’s a localized injection to the facial muscles that reduces fine lines and wrinkles due to aging and those fused by strong facial muscles.

I am not a doctor or a nurse injector, but basically getting Botox relaxes the small facial muscles and makes you look better! Who doesn’t want to look younger and have less wrinkles?

When it comes to getting this treatment it can be preventative or corrective. If you start younger you will never form the wrinkles. Crazy huh?! If you start Xeomin/Botox later in life you will already have formed the wrinkles and while Botox may be able to relax wrinkles, some what, there

I have to say I’m 33 and have been getting it for 5 years. The goal is to keep my 28 year old face forever! Jokes aside, I’ll have very minimal wrinkles at 55 compared to if I never would have started Botox or Xeomin.

But I think the fear I hear most often about getting Xeomin is that people don’t want to look different or scary like some of the Botox gone wrong on the Desperate Housewives. I will tell you from my perspective of being the Spa Owner and offering the service for 4 ½ years, done correctly you’re not going to look scary or weird or different even, just better!

BEFORE Your husband probably won’t even be able to tell! (we hear this one a lot too LOL.) Also who you get Xeomin/ AFTER Botox from matters. News Flash: from inside the industry, just because you go to a Doctor for this service does not mean that it’s going to come out better than with a nurse. I employ both a doctors and nurses. The service is medical, artistic, and technique matters, not the job title.

Overall there’s nothing like the results of a neuromodulator! We love brand Botox and are excited to welcome in Xeomin to our spa as well.

I love your feedback and questions so don’t hesitate to reach out at info@DivineComplexions.com

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

LANCE’S SUPERIOR AUTO Written by Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer • Photos by Carly Carpenter

F

inding the right auto service provider for your vehicle is never an easy task. Generally speaking though, we’re all looking for the same thing: someone we can trust. We want to take our vehicles to an organization that is well established, that employs ASE-Certified technicians, and that has a visible track record of success which we can access. In short, we want to take our vehicles to a shop like Lance’s Superior Auto Service right here in Wilsonville!

on newer European vehicles. They specialize in Asian and domestic makes and models, but can do general work on some European vehicles. If in doubt, they recommend calling first to see if they can provide your required service.

Why Lance’s? Well, for all those reasons listed above and more. Lance Griffin has been in the industry since 1978. He started working at a Chevron Station pumping gas in high school, then went to their tech school, where he took every course they offered. In 1982, he returned after testing and acquiring full ASE Certification (a designation that requires re-testing every 5 years to maintain), and worked as a technician for Chevron for another 14 years. An opportunity arose in 1996 for him to open his own service shop, and that was when Lance’s Superior Auto Service was born.

Lance is one of the greatest guys you’ll ever talk to. He is a local, born and raised, and truly cares about this community. He built his business on one solid pillar: treat your customers like friends and family. Beyond that, conduct business with absolute transparency. He believes in educating his customers, not selling them, so Lance’s will never do work that you’re not fully educated about, and you will never pay for anything you’re not prepared for.

In the beginning, he had 2 employees and leased a 4-bay garage that was on the same lot as the Chevron station where he had previously worked. As the business gained traction and word of his “superior service” spread, he needed to find a larger space. In 2004, he moved to the location where he still resides today; a prime location which boasts 7 bays, an alignment machine, a nice waiting room, and everything else you could ask for in a service shop.

They are a general service shop, covering all of the bases from A-Z with only a few exceptions: they do not rebuild transmissions (although they can replace them), and they can’t reprogram computers 10 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • MAY 2022

And if for some reason you’re not already convinced that Lance’s truly is superior, just talk to his staff: Service Manager Carrie Jackson, who has been with him for 21 years; or Lead Master Tech Carlos Alvarez, who has been with him for 12 years; or even Lube Technician Nick Bruck, who has been there for 6 years. In this industry, great employees don’t stick around unless they are doing great things. Their extensive time there is a testament to how Lance not only treats his customers, but also his team.

Locally owned and operated since 1996, Lance’s is the best place to take your vehicle!

Lance’s Superior Auto Service is located at 30775 SW Boones Ferry Rd, Suite D in Wilsonville, just south of the Fred Meyer shopping center. Call 503-682-8522 or visit lancessuperiorauto.com for more information.

otherhood. What does that mean? How do we envision it? We honor our mothers on Mother’s Day, but surely, motherhood means many different things to each of us. For Christine Lewy, owner and operator of Divine Complexions (a luxury Beauty Med Spa in Wilsonville), her own Motherhood means everything to her. It is the most important part of her life. How then could this dedicated mom become such a successful business woman? She listened to her heart and followed her passions.

Realizing she “really loved” the beauty industry, she switched from veterinary studies, graduated from Oregon State with a BS degree in Human Development, and obtained her Esthetician license. She had worked a few different places, and was very excited when she was asked back by one of them to teach esthetics. This was very special to her. Christine’s family was also very special to her. Having married young and started a family young, she already had one son with another on the way.

This month, the main topic of interest concerns sellers:

things simultaneously attractive for buyers. Under such competitive conditions, it is imperative to have an agent with a profound understanding of the market; one with a proven track record, an exceptional reputation, and an already-established network of vetted industry experts ready to assist in every step of the process. In the Portland Metro area, there is no better agency than Beltran Properties at eXp Realty!

As true ambassadors of the Wilsonville community, and the real estate industry as a whole, Jaimy and Sherine Beltran are as committed to helping competitors improve and grow their own businesses as they are to promoting themselves. Sherine, in particular, has allocated a significant chunk of her time to the development and ongoing presentation of real estate classes (in a variety

now would be a relatively simple task. Demand is high and supply is low. People are receiving multiple and even over-asking-price offers. So, what’s the catch? Well, there is certainly opportunity out there for sellers, but it takes an experienced, sophisticated agent to capitalize on those opportunities. There is just as much opportunity to leave money on the table as there is to make top dollar on your sale. Jaimy advised that sellers have to be patient and allow him to walk them through the entire process. All things considered, the expectation is that it will take at least 4-7 days to see what the market will yield. Sellers can’t allow themselves to get overly excited by initial

If you are willing and able to do so, Jaimy highly recommends moving out and having the home staged as well. While it does take some additional logistical efforts, the benefits far outweigh the additional costs.

Managing the buyers’ offers, maintaining open and consistent communication with all the appropriate parties, and prioritizing terms are equally as important, if not more so.

After all, it’s not always just about price when it comes to selling a property.

Sometimes the speed and efficiency of the transaction is more important; or perhaps it’s the handling of contingencies, or securing some flexibility in occupancy after the sale is complete. There are a multitude of finer points which can make or break the

MAY IS SKIN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., and unprotected UV exposure is the most preventable risk factor for skin cancer. As you head outdoors for warmer weather and fresh air, all of us at Valley View Dermatology encourage you to stay safe and protect yourself.

Here are some tips to avoid harmful UV rays and reduce your risk: Seek shade when appropriate, remembering that the sun’s rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Wear sun-protective clothing such as lightweight and long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses with UV protection, when possible. For more effective protection, select clothing with an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) number on the label.

Apply sunscreen that is broad-spectrum and water-resistant with an SPF of 30 or higher to all skin not covered by clothing. Remember to reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

For expert skin care, look to the Valley.

Valley View Dermatology’s board-certified doctors and healthcare professionals specialize in diseases of the skin, acne care, and laser and surgical treatments. Our state-ofthe-art dermatology offices in Salem, Wilsonville and Keizer enable us to provide a full range of general, surgical and cosmetic procedures to patients of all ages.
