Simple Solution. Big Reward. After big holiday meals, no one likes to be stuck doing the clean-up. But if you aren't careful with leftover gravy, pan drip-pings and sauces a grease-clogged drain could ruin your holiday and cost you a bundle. |
|
When fats, oils and grease are poured down the drain, they stick to the inside of pipes causing messy sewer backups and expensive cleanup and repair.
The solution:
Pour the grease into a can, freeze it, and toss the can in the trash!

Let's Go Walking!
When: Tue, Dec 31, 2019 9AM-5PM |
This is a moderate, three-mile loop hike near Aloha, Oregon. The trails are wide, graveled and smooth. The hike has views of the Tualatin Valley and Chehalem Mountain. There are plenty of native trees, including oak, maple and firs, along with lots of wildlife. We will stop for lunch at a local restaurant after the hike.
Bring water and snacks for the trail. Sturdy hiking shoes are recommended.
For more information about this hike please contact Bob Criteser at 503-807-1160 or bocr41@gmail.com or Sandy Anderson at 503-709-4190 or sandya14@msn.com.

If you're like most of us - you're not ready.
If that's you, we've got some great tips and valuable resources below to help you be prepared for whenever a disaster strikes.
CONTENTS
TICK. TOCK.
Think of Oregon geology as a clock, measuring time in earthquakes. Tick: a magnitude 8 quake. (Bigger than 1989 Bay Area quake that killed 63 people.) Tock: a magnitude 9 quake. (Same as the 2011 Japan quake that killed almost 16,000 people.) On average, a major quake happens in our area every 243 years, the last one was January 26, 1700 — 316 years ago. Yes. We are overdue.

When the next Big One does happen, a 700-mile long section of the tectonic plate known as the Juan de Fuca, stretching from British Columbia to Northern California, will slide beneath the North American plate, causing the entire Northwest coast-line to sink up to 6.6 feet. This won’t be a California-style short burst of energy quake in the earth’s upper crust. The Big One will be bigger, deeper, and last longer: 3–4 minutes, with dozens of after-shocks, some very powerful, for days, months, or later. |

Hillsides will slide. Buildings will collapse. Roads will buckle. High-rises will sway. Bridges will crack. Some will fall. Pipes will snap. Within 20 minutes, the first of several 40-foot tsunami waves will wash away the Oregon Coast’s low-lying towns.
If our next “subduction zone” quake unleashes its full potential, it will be the worst natural disaster in U.S. history.
