As we continue to navigate through this pandemic, I want to acknowledge the incredible work the public health departments are doing to reduce the spread of the virus — particularly the two I’m familiar with: North Central Public Health District and the Hood River County Health Department. They are skilled professionals, living in our communities, working seven days a week doing what needs to be done: Contact tracing, supporting those who are quarantined and keeping the public informed. Thank you! ••• AgePlus in partnership with organizations working with older adults in the Gorge has received a grant from the Oregon Health Authority to reach out and support older adults during this pandemic. To help with this important work, we are looking for volunteers will- ing to call older adults — a perfect opportunity for anyone who doesn’t want to leave their house. If you would like to help, call the Center at 541-296-4788 or email me at mcse- niorcenter@gmail.com. ••• If you passed over the column “Through the Eyes of an Elder” in today’s paper go back and check it Aug. 26 — E.

Ferment releases Black is Beautiful Ferment Brewing Co. announces its contribution to the international Black is Beautiful initiative that now includes more than 1,000 breweries across 20 countries. The Hood River brewery debuted its Black is Beautiful Imperial Coffee Stout in 16-ounce cans on Aug. 14. Ferment Brewing Co.’s Imperial Coffee Stout is a rich and complex beer load- ed with caramel notes and deep roasted malt with the added zing and brightness of a cold steep with Nossa Familia Coffee Mathilde’s French Roast (10 percent ABV). “In this important time in history, it is our responsibili- ty to stand up for equality, be actively anti-racist and help to continue this movement until true change is made,” said Dan Peterson, Ferment Brewing brewmaster. “We are grateful to be able to express our love and support for the Black Lives Matter cause through this beer.” The Black is Beautiful initiative is a collaborative effort amongst the brew- ing community and its customers, in an attempt to bring awareness to the injustices that many people of color face daily, accord- ing to a press release. The idea was created by Marcus Baskerville, co-founder of Weathered Souls Brewing Co. in San Antonio, Texas, who created an original recipe then challenged other breweries to put their own twist on the beer and give proceeds to local organiza- tions fighting injustice. Ferment Brewing has committed to donating all proceeds of Black is Beautiful to the Urban League of Portland to support its efforts empowering African Americans and others to achieve equality.
