             Shawnee State University’s Kelly Hatas and Sarah Lowe of AmeriCorps VISTA Ohio Campus Compact demonstrated making and canning salsa on Thursday, Dec. 19 at All Saints Episcopal Church in Portsmouth from peppers raised in “God’s Gardens.” The gardens both on the riverbank and at All Saints were very plentiful this year. The event was sponsored by the Scioto Christian Ministry Garden Committee to utilize bell and banana peppers as well as several different kinds of chiles raised in the gardens. In the photo, SSU student Casey Smith, left, and Lowe, middle, watch Hatas as she mixes some of the ingredients for the salsa.
