We don’t hear a lot about local cheese makers, but one of them, Susan Jackson, is now teaching her craft and the next class will be from 10 am to 2 pm Saturday, Feb. 23, at the Community of Christ Church, 1485 Gilham Road. Cost is $50 but you get to take home cheese! And maybe discover your true calling. Jackson is also a master food preserver. Register at the OSU Extension Service office at 783 Grant St. or go to the Extension Service website. (NOTE: We hear this class might not fill up. If that's the case, the next class will be April 6, same time, same place.)
