New eatery, Sunrise at Boardman

to open on Front Street in April

We’ll have a another option foreating out soon when the restau-rant Sunrise at Boardman opensits doors the third week of April.

Residents Harold and MildredBaker and daughter Karen Purcellhave been looking for just the rightspot to open a restaurant inBoardman, and finally decided onthe former Bank of Eastern Oregonbuilding located on Front Streetnear Dodge City Inn. The remod-eling was a huge project, which in-cluded gutting the interior and add-

ing onto the existing structure.“It’s a family project,” says

Karen Purcell, but she’s the familymember who we will see every daywhen they open. They plan toserve breakfast, lunch and dinner,with hours of operation from 6:00am to 9:00 pm. “Maybe we’ll beopen later at night during the sum-mer,” says Karen.

They plan to have eight or ninetables, and serve sandwiches,whole meals, and full breakfasts.“We’re still tinkering with the

menu,” says Karen. There will beeight employees to take care of thefood preparation and serving.

The Bakers have long years ofexperience in the restaurant busi-ness; they built and operated theNomad Restaurant & Lounge formany years and Karen worked atthe C & D Drive In for years.

So watch for the “Open forBusiness” signs along northwestFront Street -- a Grand Openingwill come a little later in the spring.

Harol & MildredBaker anddaughter KarenPurcell have beenworking hard tocomplete theremodeling oftheir newrestaurantSunrise atBoardman. Theyplan to open forbusiness the 3rdweek of April.

High Desert Dutch Oven Cooks serve up Southern cuisine

Hot Southern rolls filled thisdutch oven to the brim

A complete Southern dinner was cooked including beans andrice, gumbo, cradads, corn bread, rolls and other goodies.

(Right) Coals burn hotunderneath each pot and onthe lid on three different sizesof dutch ovens.

Debbie Imus, Secretary for the High Desert Dutch Oven Cooksprepares the coals for cooking her southern recipes of SlipperyPot Pie, Okra and Hushpuppies.

Shannon and her husband Gene Lancaster of Echo preparedcrawdads, and shrimp and sausage jambalaya.

Good cooks know no bound-aries. Two years ago, Tom andDebbie Imus and neighbor BillBarnes decided to take their hobbymore seriously and formed theHigh Desert Dutch Oven Cooks,an organization that promotescooking every kind of food out-doors with charcoal in dutch ov-ens. Since then, they’ve roundedup dozens of members stretchingfrom Boardman to MiltonFreewater, Stanfield, Heppner,Umatilla, Echo and Pendleton.

The group meets monthly on aSunday to share their recipes andcook up a meal. Their dues are $10per person or $20 per family peryear. “We meet year-round, oncea month at different locations,”says Debbie Imus. “Each month isa different theme, such as Mexican,

Scottish, Italian and German. Youjust have to like to eat and cook tojoin us, you don’t have to be expe-rienced, someone is always willingto help.” The youngest cookthey’ve had so far is twelve yearsold.

The theme of this month’s meetwas southern comfort. The dishesincluded: fried okra and hush pup-pies, slippery pot pie, pop ‘n gone(rice, bacon & black beans), honeyrolls, sausage and shrimp gumboover rice, crawfish, cornbread anddesserts included huckleberries &peach cobbler and chocolate cake.There were 25 cooks using 17 dutchovens to prepare this month’sfeast.

Member Bill Barnes relates howthe club started, “We were prettybasic when we first started: mostly

bbq and beans out of a cookbook.But now anything you can cookon a stove or in an oven, we cookin dutch ovens,” he related.

The members are expandingtheir demonstrations to includecooking at the Umatilla LandingDays, the Cookoff at theChuckwagon, Pendleton CattleBaron Association and this yearthe Hermiston Chamber of Com-merce invited them to cook at theirSaturday Markets. The membershave food handlers licenses sothey can prepare and serve foodto the public.

The cooks sometimes shareideas via the Internet onYahoo [email protected]. Oneof their members, Jane Ginther isputting together a cookbook fromrecipes the group has prepared.They also keep a scrapbook whichincludes photos and recipes oftheir gatherings.

A rare type of cancer is associated with exposure

to asbestos. Asbestos is a substance that has been shown

to be carcinogenic and may place persons at risk for this

condition after exposure for only a few weeks. A long

period of time, for example 35 to 40 years, typically

transpires between the time of initial exposure and

development of malignant tumors. This condition involves

the mesothelium, which is the cells lining an organ.

Organs affected by this condition include the lungs,

abdominal organs, and the heart. Cancer of the

mesothelium is called mesothelioma. Early symptoms may

be similar to those observed with pneumonia and can

include shortness of breath, persistent cough, and chest

and abdominal pain.

Although the survival rate for mesothelioma

typically ranges from 4 to 12 months from the time of

symptom onset, it is possible for persons affected by this

condition to live for much longer. Available treatments for

this condition include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

The preferred treatment is a combination of the

chemotherapy medications pemetrexed (Alimta) and

Cisplatin. Folic acid and vitamin B12 must also be used

with pemetrexed since this medication interferes with their

normal metabolism. A combination of cisplatin and

carboplatin may also be used.

(Salem) Representative Greg Smith(R-Heppner) earned a 94% scoreon the Oregon Anti-Crime Alliance(OAA) 2009 voting scorecard. Ac-cording to the group, the scorecardmeasures votes on bills that havethe greatest impact on their mis-sion to make Oregon “one of thetop five seats in the nation for low-crime rates.”

“The Oregon Anti-Crime Alli-ance scorecard demonstrates mystrong commitment to keeping ourcommunities safe,” Rep. Smithsaid. “I’m proud to support billsthat advance Oregon’s reputationas a state that’s determined to betough on crime. As a member ofthe Ways and Means Committee, Ihave also worked to give our StatePolice, the Department of Correc-tions and the Oregon Youth Au-thority the resources they needto investigate crimes and hold

La Grande Police Chief Brain Harvey, Representative Smith, UnionCounty Sheriff Boyd Rasmussen.

criminals accountable.”The OAA scorecard tracked

legislators’ votes on many of thesession’s most important publicsafety bills. Rep. Smith joined OAAin voting to crack down on sexualpredators, repeat drunk drivers andthose who assault or murder preg-nant women. He also supportedlegislation to provide speedy trialrights to crime victims.

“Oregonians deserve an effec-tive criminal justice system,” Rep.Smith said. “I will continue to sup-port legislation that helps our lawenforcement officers and districtattorneys. In addition, I am dedi-cated to helping to deliver justicefor crime victims.”

“Representative Smith hasshown through his voting that heis dedicated to the protection ofthe citizens and law enforcementofficers of Northeast Oregon. Greg

did a great job for our publicsafety.”-Union County Sheriff, BoydRasmussen

“Representative Smith hasshown true diligence for the pub-lic safety of Wallowa County ashe representatives us in Salem.Thank you Greg!”-Wallowa County Sheriff, FredSteen

“I have known Rep. Smith for anumber of years as MorrowCounty Sheriff. He has alwaysbeen an advocate for public safety.He and I have worked togethermultiple times in drafting legisla-tion for public safety issues. Hecontinues to be an advocate forand an outstanding partner of thecitizens of Morrow County.”-Morrow County Sheriff, KennethMatlack
