Devastating Fire at Historic Oregon Flour Mill | በታሪካዊው የኦሪገን የዱቄት ፋብሪካ ላይ አውዳሚ እሳት

Posted by addisethiopia / አዲስ ኢትዮጵያ on August 15, 2022

A historic flour mill in Oregon owned by the nation’s biggest independent flour milling company has been completely destroyed by a fire.

Authorities are describing the Grain Craft mill in Pendleton as a total loss after a small fire that began on Tuesday afternoon reignited early Wednesday morning while the building was empty, fully engulfing the mill due to the significant amount of dry grain it was housing as well as its wood structure.

Pendleton Assistant Fire Chief Tony Pierotti told the media that the fuel load was “extreme” because the silos were filled with finished grain.

Authorities have been keeping the area clear in anticipation of the potential collapse of the building, which is more than 100 years old, as well as the amount of slow-burning grain. The mill is surrounded by the county courthouse as well as businesses and homes.

The fire was reportedly caused by mechanical failure that may be related to a sifter’s filter. Police Chief Charles Byram said: “It happened in the mill itself, with one of the pieces of equipment, with a rubber bushing or housing that obviously got too hot and started the fire.”

There were no injuries, but some buildings in the immediate area sustained smoke and water damage. The mill had been processing a significant amount of flour as the fire occurred right in the middle of harvest season.

Although an exact figure was not available, employees of the mill have estimated that there were “hundreds of thousands of pounds of processed flour in the bins.” An estimated cost of the damages is not yet available.

The company is now working with Pacific Northwest wheat farmers to handle the excess supply. Although they have never disclosed the building’s production capacity and it is difficult to determine the full extent of the damage, the president of the Oregon Wheat Growers League, Ben Maney, said that a substantial number of area farmers bring their grain to the facility, which he described as a staple in the Pendleton community.

Fire yet another hit for struggling wheat farmers

Maney said the fire is just the latest hit for growers who are still struggling after the severe drought of last year. Some crops rebounded thanks to the spring rains this year, but many farmers lack home storage for their grain and relied on the mill.

He noted: “A lot of farmers don’t have home storage, and they can’t store that grain on their farm. For this heartbreaking event to happen today, it puts the community and a lot of the farmers in a tough situation. It hits the community hard.”

The farmer-owned flour company Shepherd’s Grain emailed customers to inform them of an interruption in flour supply as they work on a contingency plan and get wheat staged to be moved to another mill.

Byram pointed out that the fire will have a big impact on Pendleton, stating: “They’re a major employer; we are obviously an agricultural community that does a lot of dryland wheat farming. Wheat farmers from the surrounding area bring their wheat in here to the Pendleton flour mill. It’s yet to be determined what the impact is, but I can gauge it’s going to be significant.”

The mill makes flour for several types of foods, including tortillas and pizza. Oregon is America’s 11th biggest producer of wheat, and the crop is the third biggest cash crop for the state. Up to 90 percent of the wheat that is produced in Oregon is shipped to markets overseas, especially in Asia.

💭 Exotic, Gluten-Free Grain Grows in Popularity — Enough to Cause a Dust-Up in Eastern Oregon

A little-known grain from the Horn of Africa — billed as the next wave in America’s quest for healthy foods — is proving that competition for a hot commodity can get downright nasty.

Only a few thousand acres of Oregon farmland are believed devoted to the production of teff. But people suffering from gluten intolerance together with immigrants hungry for traditional Ethiopian and Eritrean ethnic dishes are driving up the domestic demand for the iron-rich grain.

All of which appears to have played into an angry clash between rival teff traders in the out-of-the-way Starlite Cafe last year in Vale.

አረመኔው ግራኝ | ትግራይ ተራበች፤ እልል! ፥ ኦሮሚያ በስንዴ ተትረፈረፈች፤ እልል!

Posted by addisethiopia / አዲስ ኢትዮጵያ on January 30, 2021

👉 አረመኔው ግራኝ አክዓብዮት አህመድ ከጥቂት ሰዓታት በፊት የላከው ትዊት፦

Great work undertaken so far in Oromia region to grow 130,000 hectares of low land wheat through irrigation. This current progress of a total 300,000 hectares planned, greatly demonstrates our import substitution aspirations and capacity.

130,000 ሄክታር ዝቅተኛ መሬት ስንዴን በመስኖ ለማልማት በኦሮሚያ ክልል እስካሁን የተከናወነው ታላቅ ሥራ፡፡ ይህ በጠቅላላው300,000 ሄክታር የታቀደው የአሁኑ የእድገት ማስመጣት ተተኪ ምኞታችንን እና አቅማችንን በእጅጉ ያሳያል።

ከዚህ በፊት እንዳወሳነው ይህ ቆሻሻ ጋኔን በትግራይ ላይ ጦርነት ካወጀባቸው ምክኒያቶች አንዱና ዋናው ላለፉት ሦስት ዓመታት በሰላም፣ በፍቅርና በአንፃራዊ ብልጽግና የሚኖርባት ክልል ትግራይ ብቻ ነበረች፤ ይህ ደግሞ እንደ ለተሰንበት ግደይ ያሉትን አትሌቶች የአምስት ኪሎሜትር ክብረ ወሰንን እንዲያገኙ ረድቷቸዋል። ይህ ክስተት በቃኤላዊ ቅናት፣ ቁጭት እና እብሪት መንፈስ የተሞላውን ግራኝንና የኦሮሚያ መንጋውን እረፍት ነስቷቸው ነበር፤ ስለዚህ “ኧረ ለኦሮሚያ የተሰጣት እድል እና ጊዜ ሊነጠቁብን ነው፤ እነርሱ ቀና ካሉ እኛ እንደፋለንና ባፋጣኝ የባርነት፣ ጨለማ እና ሞት መንፈሱን፤ መቅሰፍቱን ይዘን ወደ ትግራይ እንዝመት፤ እናውካቸው፣ እናስራባቸው፣ እንጨፍጭፋቸው!” በማለት ሁለተኛው ቃኤል የጭፍጨፋ ጦርነቱን በአቤል ትግራይ ላይ ለመክፈት ወሰነ።

አቤት በኦሮሚያ ሲዖል ላይ በቅርቡ የሚወርድባት እሳት! በትግራዋይ ላይ ያለውን ጥላቻ ለማሳየት ከመፈለግ ጎን ይህ የሚመጣው መቅሰፍት አስፈርቶት ይሆናል አሁን ስለ ስንዴ የሚቀባጥረው።

💭 “በመድኃኔ ዓለም ዕለት እንድናየው | ትግሬዋን ለተሰንበትን አገቷት ፥ ኦሮሞዋን ገንዘቤን ላኳት”

ኢትዮጵያውያን በሃገራቸው ይታገታሉ፣ ይገረፋሉ፣ ይራባሉ፣ ይገደላሉ፤ ከስራዎቻቸው ይፈናቀላሉ፣ በርሃ ለበርሃ እየተንከራተቱ ከሃገራቸው ይሰደዳሉ። የኢትዮጵያ ጠላቶች ግን ኢትዮጵያውያንን በገዛ አገራቸው እያገቱ፣ እየገረፉ፣ እያስራቡና እየገደሉ ተንደላቅቀው በሰላም ይኖራሉ፤ በአገርም በውጭም በኢትዮጵያ አየር መንገድ በነጻነት ይዘዋወራሉ።

ለተሰንበት ግደይ ከሁለት ወራት በፊት በመስከረም ፳፯/ ፪ሺ፲፫ ዓ.ም በ ቫሌንሲያ ከተማ ስፔይን የአምስት ሺህ ሜትር የዓለም ሬከርድን ሰበረች። ያኔም፤ ገና ትኩሱ የጥቃት ጦርነት ሳይጀምር ኢትዮጵያን ለቅቃ እንዳትወጣና ወደ ቫሌንሲያ እንዳትጓዝ ብዙ መሰናክሎችን ፈጥረውባትና አጉላልተዋትም ነበር። ልብ እንበል፤ ሬከርዱን ረቡዕ በመድኃኔ ዓለም ዕለት ነበር የሰበረቸው።

መኮረጅ የሚወደው ዲያብሎስ ነገሮችን አስመስሎ ነገር ግን አገለባብጦ ነው የሚያቀርባቸው፤ ለምሳሌ እኛ ከግራ ወደ ቀኝ ስንጽፍ ከዲያብሎስ የሆኑት ግን ከቀኝ ወደ ግራ ይጽፋሉ፣ እኛ ፍቅር ስናሳያቸው ከዲያብሎስ የሆኑት ጥላቻን፣ እኛ እውነቱን ከዲያብሎስ የሆኑት ሐሰትን፣ እኛ በስተቀኝ ከዲያብሎስ የሆኑት በስተግራ…([የማቴዎስ ወንጌል ምዕራፍ ፳፭፡ ፴፪፥፴፫፟] “አሕዛብም ሁሉ በፊቱ ይሰበሰባሉ፤ እረኛም በጎቹን ከፍየሎች እንደሚለይ እርስ በርሳቸው ይለያቸዋል፥ በጎችን በቀኙ ፍየሎችንም በግራው ያቆማቸዋል።”)

በአረብኛው ቍጥር 27፤ ሲገለበጥ 72፤ ይህችን ቁጥር ዲያብሎስ ይወዳታል፤ መሀመድ ለተከታዮቹ ክርስቲያኖችን እና አይሁዶችን ከገደሉ72 ልጃገረዶችን በእስልምና ጀነት እንደሚጠብቋቸው ቃል ገብቶላቸዋል። ግራኝ አብዮት አህመድ አሊም በትግራይ ላይ በሚያካሂደው “ዘመቻ አክሱም ጽዮን” ጦርነት 72 ቁጥርን በመጠቀም ላይ ነው፤ (72 ሰዓታት ውስጥ እጃችሁን ስጡ!)

ለተሰንበት በመድኃኔ ዓለም ዕለት ሬከርድ ሰብራ ድል ስለተቀዳጀች ዲያብሎስ አልተደሰተም፤ የድል ዕድሉ ከደቡብ ተነጥቆ ወደ ሰሜን የዞረ መሰለው፤ ስለዚህ የሞትና ባርነት መንፈሱን በጦርነት መልክ ወደ ሰሜን ወሰደው።

በዛሬው እሑድ ኅዳር ፳፯ / ፪ሺ፲፫ ዓ./መድኃኔ ዓለም ዕለት የግማሽ ማራቶን ሩጫ በድጋሚ በቫሌንሲያ ከተማ ስፔይን የጥሩነሽ ዲባባን ሬከርድ የሰበረችው ለተሰንበት ትሳተፍ ዘንድ ተጋብዛ ነበር፤ ግን በተከፈተው ጦርነት ሳቢያ ወደ ቫሌንሲያ ልትጓዝ አልቻለችም።

ነገር ግን በዚሁ ዕለት የጥሩነሽ እህት ገንዘቤ ዲባባ ወደ ቫሌንሲያ ተላከች፤ ሬከርድ ባትሰብርም ሩጫውን ግን አሸነፈች።

👉 አሁን ነጠብጣቦቹን እናገናኛቸው…”
