Red Cross urges
blood donations
Coffee kiosk reopens in new spot
The American Red Cross
urges donors to donate blood
or platelets during the “100
days of summer. 100 days of
hope.” campaign, sponsored
by Suburban Propane.
“Memorial Day marks the
unofficial start of summer
and vacation season, and the
start of a seasonal decline in
blood and platelet donations,”
said Jared Schultzman, com-
munications manager, Pacific
Northwest Blood Services
Region. “By choosing a day to
give blood or platelets, volun-
teer donors can give hope and
help maintain a sufficient sup-
ply for patients in need.”
To encourage donations
around the Memorial Day
holiday, those who come to
give blood or platelets from
May 23-25 will receive a Red
Cross RuMe tote bag, while
supplies last.
Summer vacations and
travel can contribute to less
availability for people to give
blood or platelets. In a spring
survey of Red Cross blood
and platelet donors, nearly 90
percent indicated plans to take
vacations this summer. How-
ever, patients don’t get a sum-
mer holiday or vacation from
needing lifesaving blood. The
Red Cross relies on volunteer
donors for the 15,000 blood
donations needed every day
to support patients at about
2,600 hospitals and transfu-
sion centers nationwide.

The popular Huckleberry
Bush coffee kiosk is back in
business. The owner, Tiffany
Adrian, at the end of her first
week said, “We had a great
turnout and our grand open-
ing was quite successful.”
This kiosk on wheels had
been parked in the precarious
traffic lane off Highway 20
in front of the Shell station.
Cars occasionally rammed
the structure, so a better loca-
tion would have been desir-
ous, but the kiosk was there
when she bought the business
in March 2014.
A few months later, the
owner decided to tear down
the Shell station, dig up the
fuel tanks, and put the one-
acre property up for sale; so
the kiosk had to go. Adrian
was told in August that she
had until October 31 to tow
it away.
The winds of fortune
shifted in her favor when the
new owners of Three Wind
Shopping Plaza (Dickerhoof
Properties, Penn St. LLC)
asked if she would be inter-
ested in putting her kiosk
on the property between
Takoda’s and Highway 20.
She didn’t have to think twice
about that offer, and has been
patiently waiting while per-
mits have been approved
and the vacant lot has been
improved and landscaped to
accommodate a pad for the
kiosk and two-way traffic
lanes.
summer campaign, which
begins Memorial Day week-
end and runs through Labor

tising public awareness cam-
paign about the constant need
for blood and platelet dona-
tions, and encourage employ-
ees and customers to give.

Huckleberry Bush has a nice, safe traffic flow in its new location.
Not letting a little thing
like having the road pulled
out from under her while
struggling to support her fam-
ily (Aidan, 8 and Aela, 5) get
her down, this hardy entre-
preneur has been attending
OSU working on her business
degree. She may end up with
a whole chain of Huckleberry
Bushes before she’s done.
Adrian is serving favorite
coffees, teas, and continu-
ing locally made chai teas
and syrups from My Chai
in Bend, and her famous
Huckleberry Smoothies from
6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday
through Friday and 7 a.m.
to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and
Sundays.
Food service will consist
of homemade paninis with
gluten-free choices made
fresh daily, as well as fresh-
made salad specials with
house-made dressings, baked
goods and homemade hot and
chilled soups to serve this
summer.
Parents can pre-order
fresh, healthy school lunch
sacks to pick up before 5 p.m.
or before school.
