FACEBOOK ANNOUNCES GRANTS PROGRAM IN RUTHERFORD COUNTY Local Committee to Review Applications, More at Rutherford Data Center Facebook Page Local offi cials joined Facebook’s data center manager today to announce a new Facebook- funded grants program that will distribute up to $200,000 in awards this year to eligible nonprof- its in Rutherford County. The Facebook-Rutherford Community Action Grants will use funds set aside as part of an agreement between the company and the county to bolster community nonprofi ts based on the recommendations of a formal grants committee made up of Facebook representatives and local leaders. “Facebook is committed to playing a positive role in Rutherford County and all the communi- ties where we operate,” said George Henry, manager of the $450 million data center going up just outside Forest City. “We work globally, but live locally -- and we want our larger success to help strengthen our hometowns.” Forest City Mayor Dennis Tarlton and Rutherford County Commission Chair Bill Eckler joined Henry as members of the grant committee at a Tuesday press conference in Ol’ Blues barbecue restaurant. Also on hand were committee members Faye Hassell, Executive Director, United Way of Rutherford County; Tom Johnson, Executive Director, Rutherford County Economic De- velopment Commission; John Condrey, county manager, Rutherford County; Dr. Myra Johnson, president, Isothermal Community College; and Diane Warner, Rutherford County Foundation. The committee will review funding requests by local 501c3 organizations, schools, and col- leges that meet the eligibility guidelines described at a new tab on the Rutherford Data Center Facebook page: www.facebook.com/RutherfordDataCenter. The committee’s criteria will include the number of Rutherford County citizens served by the organization and the proposed program, how well the services of the organization and pro- posed program match the needs of county citizens and how closely the program addresses Facebook priorities such as using technology in education and economic development. “In 2010, as we worked with Facebook offi cials on deciding where to locate, one of things that struck everyone was Facebook’s deep interest in the local community, not just the facts and fi gures of its land purchase,” said John Condrey, county manager. “Facebook consistently stated how much it wanted to be a part of and assist the community where it located. They’ve put that commitment into action today, and Rutherford County is all the better for it.” Data Center Develops: George Henry -- who has worked in data centers for more than 15 years -- also provided an update on the Facebook construction in Rutherford County. “Big changes have come to the parcel of land that is quickly becoming the home of Facebook’s Rutherford County data center,” said Henry. “Some things are easily seen, like the demolition of the long vacant Mako Marine Building. Others are more subtle, but absolutely essential, like our ongoing work to the site’s electrical substation.” More than 440 people have worked on the construction phase of the Facebook data center totalling almost 400,000 man hours, including more than 22,000 last week alone. The data center in Rutherford County will use technology developed as part of Facebook’s Open Compute Project, launched in April as a way to transform the energy effi ciency of global data centers by sharing innovations with the entire computer industry. This advanced technology delivered a 38 percent increase in energy effi ciency at 24 percent lower cost for Facebook. All companies now have access to the technology and can contribute their own innovations. Construction continues on the data center and will wrap up in early 2012. Many construction subcontractors are still hiring qualifi ed applicants. More information can be found at www.face- book.com/RutherfordDataCenter.

Complete Machine Shop & Hydraulics Hoses Made BRIDGES AUTO PARTS I’m getting started in the kitchen with a favorite from CAROLYN WOOD. This is so easy to make. It’s also a “goes with anything salad”. The name is Bean Salad and my family has become very fond of it. Number 2 can whole green beans, drained, Number 2 can wax beans, drained, Number 2 can kidney beans, drained, 1 small green pepper, diced (I used red or yellow pepper for added color), 1 small onion, diced (I used spring onions - again added color). Dressing is: 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tea- spoon pepper, 1/3 cup salad oil (I used canola), 2/3 cup vinegar (I like the sweetness of White Balsamic Wine Vinegar). Mix the ingredients and then the dressing and pour over the beans. Best if let set and marinate overnight. If you use regu- lar vinegar make it apple cider vinegar. This is a keeper recipe. Chicken Noodle Salad Here is a creative use of the now popular Ramen noodles. It’s recipe from JENNIFER WAUGH. Try this unique Chicken Noodle Salad. 1 package Ramen noodles, 1 5-once can chicken, 1 cup angel hair cabbage (make sure you pack the cup and the slices are very thin), 2 tablespoons sweet pickle cubes, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoons may- onnaise, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1 teaspoon vin- egar, salt and pepper to taste. Break up the Ramen noodles in a bowl. Mix with all above ingredients. Mix well to soften noodles, then salt and pepper to taste. Different? Yes! Try it! Vegetable Casserole This recipe uses any Jello to bind the ingredients and is a great way to make a salad the night before going to work and having it ready when you come home. Thanks to JANICE WAUGH we have a cool Jello Salad. 1/2 pint cottage cheese, 1 small can pineapple, drained*, 1 8-ounce carton Cool Whip, 1 small package Jello (any flavor). Mix all ingredi- ents together and chill well before serving. (*you may substitute fruit cocktail). Now how simple is this?
