A director cf the Oregon Pork Producers Council, he is active in extension and other educational programs in Umatilla County. He believes the new associ ation will provide opportuni J.

McCarty. field service manager with Pendleton Grain Growers, graduated in 1962 in mechanical technol ogy. He is active in 4-H and serves on the OSU cereal certification advisory com mittee, among other activi ties. "The association can benefit both alums and the College of 'Econo-Eating' By MOMN E STROEDE-STEBBINS OSU Extension Service "I hate to waste food, but I sure don't want to make everybody sick, either!" This is a plea that is heard often at the extension office. Most people who call want to be reassured that it's OK to go a lead and eat i Food is expensive and it does make you feel bad if you have to throw it away because you didn't take proper care of it. We have a very safe and sanitary food supply when you compare it to other places around the world, but we do have some bad habits that many of us don't even realize. There is really a very sim ple formula that can create food that is unsafe. You com bine food that is a good host to bacteria, the wrong tem perature and time, and it can add up to somebody getting sick. In fact. I have a friend who said. "I leave food out all the time, is that bad?" I asked her if she ever got the flu. "Yes. all the lime." It was the perfect answer. What are the foods that are a good host to bacteria? Meat, poultry, fish, combination dishes like soups or casse roles, cooked vegetables, cracked or cooked eggs and egg dishes. There is a particu larly good chance for bacteria to be present if the foods are handled after cooking, such as poultry that you cook and them remove from the bone, or hard cooked eggs that are deviled. You can expect that bac teria exist everywhere. They are in the dust, on every sur face, on the food itself, on your pets and on you. When small numbers multiply, they are greater problems. Bacte ria need three things to sur vive and reproduce: food, warmth and moisture. When they have these three things they grow at a surprising clip a new generation every 10 to 18 minutes. That means they double their numbers that of ten. So. if you start with two then in three hours there can be 258.432 a large num ber for sure ! The temperature that is great for this fast incre s is room temperature. They don't do well in cold and they don't like hot. So to keep them in Agricultural Sciences." he said. "I feel we. as alumni, can help advise and evaluate college programs at OSU." Memberships in the associ ation are now availab e. von Borstel said. During the first vear. special charter mem berships are available for $50. which includes sddhe $10 yearly dues. Persons may choose either the charter membership or the yearly dues. Additional information about the association will be available at the barbecue. safe numbers vou can refri gerate things or keep them hot. at least 140 degrees. "Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold" is a great motto for food safety. The time it takes to multiply to unsafe numbers can be a rather short three hours, and this means all the hours at room temperature combined. That includes time it sat at room temperature after it was thawed, time it sat on the table before you cleared and put it away and the time you left it out when you age it as left overs, so the sooner you put food away, the less chance there is for the food to spoil. So. what are our bad habits? One bad habit I've really become aware of lately is leaving the food out. We leave food out too long at pot lucks, at parties, while we're thaw ing it and when cooling things down to refrigerate them. There's a myth that things need to cool down to room temperature or it will be bad for the refrigerator. This habit is one that started with ice boxes w hen you didn't want to melt the ice. The modern refrigerator is very capable of cooling things down rapidly. If you have a large pot of something such as soup, you can hurry the cooling down process by putting the pan of hot food into a sink of cold water. Stir the food and as the water warms up. change to cold again. Refrigerate before an hour is up. A large quantity of food should be put into shallow containers so it doesn't take long for the cold in the refrigerator to pene trate. When you know it's going to be a while before you eat the food, make arrangements to keep it on ice or keep it hot or plan to have something that doesn't support the growth of germs. Maybe you could take something like bread, canned goods, cheese, peanut butter or fruits. Another habit that is impor tant is to keep things clean. That means ourselves and the surfaces we use to prepare things. Wash your hands with soap and water and don't touch sores or your hair or pets or their dishes while you're handling food. After you prepare raw meats or poultry, be sure to wash your hands well. HHS pre-registration set for 8th graders All eighth grade students and their parents nre asked to meet nt the Heppner High School cafeteria on Monday, April 2s, for pre-reRistration.

Gary and Nancy Bruch of Heppner represented the Heppner Swim Team at the meeting. If vou handle raw meat or poultry on one surface, such a as the counter or a plate, then don't use that same surface for the cooked food. Disinfect cutting boards with diluted bleach after cut ting meat or poultry, so germs can't be transferred to your salad or other foods you'll serve raw. Be aware of what is in the food It's perfectly all right to have a fruit pie kept at room temperature, but if it's cis tard. a quiche, cream pie or pumpkin, it's a good host for bacteria so it needs refrigera tion. One important way to make vour food dollar go further is to keep food safe and avoid wasting it. Knowing the prin ciples of food safety can help you do this wisely. Stewed Chicken Put a chicken, either whole or cut up. frozen or from the refrigerator, into a pan. Add just enough water to barely cover. Add a cut-up onion, a celerv stalk, a carrot and about 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until tender, about I hour (a stew ing hen will take about 2 hours). Then place, the pan into a sink full of cola water to cool the broth and meat rapid ly Stir the mixture and change the water in the sink if it becomes warm. This pro cess should take only about 10 or 15 minutes. Pour the broth through a strainer and into another pan or refrigerator container. Re frigerate. Then immediately take the meat from the bones, being sure to have your hands washed and surfaces clean. Refrigerate. Insulate your home today.
