COMMUNITY A8 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 2015 Beans unleashed: Kiwanis roll out end-of-the-summer fun Can opener proves perfect gift I ’m not normal. There, I said it — it’s out there. However, for those that know me, this isn’t any big revelation. The reason I reiterate this now is my husband, John, got me a can opener for our anniversary. Societal stan- dards have suggested women don’t want appliances as gifts. However, I was thrilled! On the morning of our 32nd anniversary, I was wondering why there wasn’t a card wait- ing for me in the bathroom. Over the years, our bathroom has become the communica- tion center where John leaves me messages or cards. Notations on the dry erase board on the mirror let me know everything from John is working late or planning a Costco run to suggestions for our dinner date or it’s time for me to order more Advan- tix for our canine kids. Cards are generally left in front of the mirror or dangling from a hook in the ceiling. John always gets me a card for special occasions. When there was no card to be found in the bathroom Sept. 10, I wondered, “What gives?” I made my way down- stairs to get a glass of Pepsi and feed the dogs. And, there on the kitchen counter was a card and wrapped box. I was Tuite surprised. My ¿rst thoughts were, “We haven’t bought each other anniversa- ry gifts for a number of years” (we generally take a trip) and, “What am I going to get him?” When I opened the box to reveal a funky new-fan- gled can open- TAMMY MALGESINI er, I smiled and INSIDE MY laughed. You SHOES see, I never di- rectly told John I wanted one. The night before while wrestling a can of refried beans with the 32-year-old Rival can opener, I said in ex- asperation, “I want a new can opener for our anniversary.” John, who was chillin’ in his chair in the living room, didn’t respond. There was no knight in shining armor to conquer the can, no com- ment about how much the can opener sucked and no of- fer to get the “analog” opener out of our travel kit in the ga- rage. Tired from a long day at work, it was just me and the elusive beans. Come to ¿nd out, he went to Wal-Mart before going to work that morning and chose the Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch model. Yep, a man that listens and a can opener that cleanly re- moves the top are both pretty special. Tammy Malgesini is the community editor.

Each student was awarded a $500 scholarship. According to Jack McWhinnie, a member of the chapter’s scholarship committee, the money for the scholarships comes from the chapter’s annual fall “Pig Out” dinner and auction. In addition to the scholarship, money raised from the event helps a variety of other local causes the chapter supports in the community. The chapter has been providing scholar- ships for more than 20 years. The following students were awarded scholarships this year: Leslye Arementa of Uma- tilla, attending Eastern Ore- gon University; Adrian Angel of Stan¿eld, attending Western Oregon University; Maria Klein of Hermiston; attending Wyoming Catholic college; Dakota Moss of Stan¿eld, attending Columbia Basin College; Adrian Perez of Hermis- ton, attending Blue Mountain Community College Fatima Ortega of Umatil- la, attending Eastern Oregon University; Luis Santoyo Jr. of Herm- iston, attending Tabor Col- lege in Kansas; and Bianca Torres of Hermiston, attending Oregon Institute of Technology.
