FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 13, 2018 RICE that is still eaten there to- day. He also shared a short video of two men making mochi. Pat Sweeney brought sushi to share with the class. He explained that Sushi means vinegar, not raw fish, and that vinegar is a key ingredient in making sushi. He also explained that while some sushi has raw fish, not all of it does. The most popular sushi roll in the US is the California roll, which is made with cucumber and avocado and of course rice Kelsey Wolff brought juk from Korea. She ex- plained that while juk is a porridge made from chick- en and rice, most rice in Korea is not eaten in this manner. Korean meats and vegetables have very strong flavors. In contrast, Korean rice has a milder flavor. Similar to mixing a strong red and a light white to get a medium pink, Korean meat and vegetables are mixed together at the table to cre- ate a medium flavor. Nancy Propheter brought chahan, a Filipino dish made with rice, chick- en and egg. She said that she doesn’t have a recipe, but each time she makes it, -Continued from PAGE ONE it is always delicious. Other dishes present were a Filipino style sweet, black rice provided by An- nabelle Campbell and Mex- ican arroz con leche made by Dora Collins. These two scrumptious recipes had just the right amount of sugar and milk to satisfy everyone’s palates. Mrs. Elguezabal brought Mexican rice, ar- roz, which is one of her family’s favorite dishes. She also brought steamed white rice which she learned to make from her Japanese and Iranian friends. In one story, the stu- dents learned about tofu and how it is sometimes eaten with rice. Addie Coe thought it would be a good experience if the class tried the tofu, so she brought it to the potluck. We had several brave students who ate the tofu and some that came back for seconds. Each chef showed the students the country where their recipe came from. Ev- eryone present was able to try rice prepared in differ- ent styles from around the world. The general consen- sus was that each and every dish was delicious. 99-acre project to be located north of Lexington By David Sykes The Morrow County Commission held a pub- lic hearing May 30 on a proposed 99-acre electri- cal generating solar farm planned on land owned by Bill and Rena Marquardt 4.5 miles north of Lexing- ton, north of Baseline Lane between its intersections with Marquardt Rd and Wheatland Rd. The project is going to produce ten megawatts of power, which will be input to the power grid on Bonneville Power Admin- istration’s (BPA) Boardman to Ione line, which runs through the property. It will then be sold on a long-term contract to Portland Gen- eral Electric. The land is currently being used for dry land wheat production. The property is considered high value farm land so was re- quired to seek an exception to statewide planning goals. Any project under 100 acres can also receive approval from the local county plan- ning commission rather than going through the state Energy Facility Sit- ing Council procedure. The county planning commis- sion had earlier held hear- ings and approved the solar facility. The facility will be owned and operated by OneEnergy Solar of Seattle. In other business, the commission discussed the new five-member rodeo board formed to operate the yearly local rodeo. The board also has an adopted set of by-laws and will be responsible for oversight, standards and policies, bud- geting, fair coordination, review and promotion and administration over the yearly event. The rodeo board has been operating many years without being a formal board, however the com- mission felt it could be more efficient and stable if it was a formal county board. Initial members will be Ken Bailey, Judy Healy, Mike Mahoney, Terri Gen- try and Camille Peck. Blood drive campaign to help fill Ione music in the park scheduled missing types As part of an interna- tional movement, the Amer- ican Red Cross is launching the Missing Types cam- paign to recruit new blood donors – and those who have not given recently – to ensure lifesaving blood is available for patients. During the Missing Types campaign, the letters A, B and O – the main blood groups – will disappear from brands, social media pages, signs and websites to illustrate the critical role every blood donor plays. When the letters A, B and O vanish from everyday life, the gaps are striking. And when A, B and O blood types are missing from hos- pital shelves, patient care could be impacted. “Unfortunately, blood shortages still happen and the number of new Red Cross blood donors is shrinking each year,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Red Cross Blood Services. “That’s why the Red Cross is asking those who have never do- nated blood and those who haven’t given in a while to make a lifesaving donation. You are the missing type patients need.” Blood drives are sched- uled in Morrow County on June 28 and 29. The Hep- pner blood drive will be held June 28 from 1 to 6 p.m. at St. Patrick’s Senior Center, 190 N Main St. The Boardman blood drive is scheduled for June 29 from noon to 5 p.m. at the Board- man Pool and Recreation Center, 311 N Olson Rd. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s li- cense or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with paren- tal consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Donation appointments and completion of a Rapid- Pass are encouraged to help speed up the donation pro- cess. RapidPass lets donors complete the pre-donation reading and answer the health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, by visiting Red- CrossBlood.org/RapidPass from the convenience of a mobile device or computer, or through the Blood Donor App. Community lunch menu All Saints, Hope and Valby volunteers will serve lunch on Wednesday, June 20 at St. Patrick’s Senior Center. Lunch will be chicken alfredo, green beans, carrot salad, garlic bread and cherry parfait for dessert. Milk is served at each meal. Suggested donation is $3.50 per meal. Menu is subject to change.
