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.
