Celebrate the Season
When: Sat Dec 21, 2013 10AM-3PM |
A delightful 1874 Victorian farmhouse
Take a step back into history at the Zimmerman House, a Victorian era farmhouse, built in 1874 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This beautiful farmhouse is a perfect reflection of typical Columbia River dairy farm life in the late 1800s. The Zimmerman Heritage Farm is a unique cultural education and recreational resource that is being created for the benefit of the public on a 5.98-acre historic site in Gresham, Oregon.
 EWww! Grease clogged pipe |
After big holiday meals, no one likes doing the clean-upBut if you aren't careful with leftover gravy, pan drippings and sauces a grease-clogged drain could end up costing 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 in your home.
The simple solution
Pour the grease into a can, freeze it, then toss the can in the trash.
Do your part
Grease can also plug sewer collection lines and pumps, thereby causing overflows into public areas and again possibly back up into your home. As a double whammy, the untreated wastewater may flow into streets, neighborhood storm drains and ultimately the nearest river or stream causing problems for surrounding communities and the environment.

How to Dispose of Grease at Home:
Remind family and friends - keep the grease out of the drain.
Happy Holidays!
 Comet ISON MHCC Planetarium website |
Comet FeverWhen: Tue Nov 05, 2013 |
Admission $2. MHCC students are admitted free.
The Sky Theater is wheelchair accessible.
Comet Fever and Comet ISON
“Comets can arouse public curiosity when they are bright and disappoint people when they don’t live up to their hype,” says Pan Hanrahan, Planetarium director. “While Comet ISON will not be the ‘Comet of the Century,’ it still has a chance to be visible to the naked eye". Comet ISON will make its closest approach to the sun on Thanksgiving morning and if it survives, may even show its tail in the blue sky just after sunrise.
There are three shows this evening, with start times at 6:00PM, 7:15PM and 8:30PM.
The Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) Planetarium opens the year with more great public shows, a move to a new night and coming soon, a state-of-the-art projection system.
Each show is presented under a realistic representation of the night sky, featuring the latest galactic, stellar and planetary images.
Visitors are encouraged to ask questions during each program. Children are welcome to attend.
