City Water Superintendent Morse says that residents wishing to do so may now connect up with the new system. A septic tank is included in the system to provide for the outflow. Alumni of Hood River High School and their invited guests, 70 strong, enjoyed the annual reunion banquet at Eliot Hall last week. A deli- cious dinner was served by the ladies of the Unitarian Al- liance. The color scheme was blue and white and the tables were tastefully decorated with Oregon grape and mountain ash berries. JANUARY 7, 1995: Taking Office — Federal Magistrate John Jelderks, left, issues the oath of office to Hood River County’s new elect- ed officers. They include, from left, Cascade Locks Justice of the peace Roberta Lee, Commissioner Chuck Thomsen, Commissioner 1925 — 90 years ago Glenn Best, Commissioner Ken Lambert and Commission Chair Bev Rowland. All five took office during the Tuesday ceremony at the The recent fire which de- Hood river County Courthouse’s main hallway. stroyed the big apple ware- house of A.I. Mason also wiped out a much prized col- lection of native wood speci- mens. For many years Mr. Mason has been collecting samples of the various native woods, and at the time of the fire he had stored in the ware- house 250 classified speci- mens and 50 unclassified pieces of native woods. This collection was started in 1889 in Kansas City, Mo. There is a story going the rounds of a resident who per- mitted the faucet in his kitchen to run while he and his wife were in Portland dur- ing the cold spell. If Dame Rumor has any sense of re- sponsibility there was enough ice in the two lower rooms to carry any fair sized family through the summer. 1935 — 80 years ago Residents of the Upper Valley are now agitating for a yellow center stripe on the Loop highway, similar to of Agriculture in this dis- trict, beginning Jan. 2, 1935, for the calendar year of 1934, are: Lewis H. Parker, Parkdale; Samuel L. Banks, H o o d R ive r ; T h o m a s F. Mason, Hood River; and Ray Bruce, Hood River. 1945 — 70 years ago Hood River’s new youth center on Third street will be officially opened for the first time at 1 p.m. tomor- row (Saturday) afternoon. This large basement of the building occupied by W.S. Finney and Carl Harmon, has been completely refin- ished and equipped to pro- vide an attractive center for the youth of this area. To- morrow, the center will be open from 1 till 6 p.m. and from 9:30 till midnight. At the regular meeting of the city council, Tuesday night, Hood River’s new mayor and several council- men were installed in office, lated to Rotarians at a Thursday noon luncheon by Dr. R.M. Heilman, director of state board of health chronic disease and hospi- tal licensing. The guest speaker, whose department is responsible for the licens- ing of 408 units in Oregon, said that the Hanby Nursing home of Hood River has maintained service equiva- lent to or better than that found throughout the state. First baby of 1955 was 9 pound, 8.5 ounce James Henry Bryan, son of Mr. and Mrs. William B. Bryan, June Street, Hood River. James Henry was born at 2:21 a.m. on Jan. 3 at the Hood River Community Hospital. 1965 — 50 years ago Frank Gilbert ended 45 years of continuous service as phar macist at Keir’s Drug Store when he retired Jan. 1. Actually, Gilbert’s tenure at Keir’s spanned a little more than 45 years — he passed that milestone last March 18. While Frank has retired from active par- ticipation, he will probably be seen back at his old stand on a part-time basis, Paul Keir said. Irrigators who usually pray for an abundant flow of water were offering up no such prayers this week. They were too busy taking stock of losses that will run into thousands of dollars because of the days last m o n t h wh e n t o o m u c h w a t e r w a s f l ow i n g i n streams. Apparently hard- est hit is the Farmers Irri- gation Co., which lost its main pipeline across the H o o d R ive r s o m e t h re e miles below Dee in Decem- ber floods. JANUARY 7, 1955: Betty Wols contributes to the 1955 Hood River County March of Dimes drive as she drops a donation into a plastic coin collector, one of the many distributed to local busi- ness establishments. Co-chairmen of the March of Dimes cam- paign are Dave Jensen, left, and Ken Brisbane. County residents have been sent pocket cards in which contributions may be mailed to the local Dimes organization. 1975 — 40 years ago that which has proved to be a boon on the Columbia river highway. During the late fall and winter many fog pockets are encountered by motorists using the Loop highway, and it is some- times extremely difficult keep the car on the highway. Because there are many dangerous zones on this highway, residents urge the Highway commission to have the marker painted as early as possible. The cost is believed to be not more than $25 per mile. The four Hood River enu- merators who have been ap- pointed to take the Census City Re c o r d e r Wm. Sylvester administering the oath. Mayor Joe Meyer, who has long served efficiently as a councilmen, is now head of the council. E.A. Sonnichsen, who was re- elected at the November election; S. C. Gaulke, who was elected after serving out the unexpired term of the late B.E. Cobb, and Ray Calmettes, who is undertak- ing his first term, were also sworn in. 1955 — 60 years ago Problems facing commu- nities in the care of the aged and chronically ill were re- The District Attor ney will no longer serve as a legal adviser to the Hood River County Board of Com- missioners under arrange- ments finalized here Mon- d ay.

For- m e rl y, S e l l s s e r ve d a s deputy District Attorney under D.A. Don Hull. Under n e w a r r a n g e m e n t s, t h e Board of Commissioners will be provided civil legal service by local law firm Annala, Lockwood, Carey and Hull.

And s h e ’s got moxie! She’s always so, so happy to meet new people and she’s tickled to see old friends! Roxie is only about a year old and is doing a great job learning her man- ners, and since she’ll do any- thing for treats, it’s been pretty fun for her! And frankly, FUN should be her middle name! Roxie has lear ned her basic com- mands easily, and has done really well with her leash skills! She walks very proud- ly and you can just tell she’s having a great time in the beautiful outdoors! Even though she’s got her manners down, she always appreciates a treat for being such a good girl, anyhow! She’s come such a long way, thanks to patience and deter- Roxie mination from our volun- teers and Roxie is definitely a real delight to have around! An active, ready-to- go delight! Roxie is also mak- ing lots of doggie friends at the shelter. She shares her toys with them because she knows that means they get to run and chase each other around! And after a good play-date, nothing like get- ting cozy, cozy with her fa- vorite person. Roxie really needs to go to an active home where she can get regular runs or hikes. She’s current on shots, mi- crochipped and spayed. The adoption fee for is $185. The fee to adopt is charged to re- coup standard veterinary ex- penses.

Mosier — Fluff, a cat be- longing to Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Maine, took a trip recently — an unplanned one. While Mr. and Mrs. Craig McMaham of Port- land were visiting at the Maine home, Fluff decided to hide out in their car. His prank resulted in a trip to Portland before he was dis- covered. Fluff made a re- turn over the weekend with a planned place in the McMaham car for another trip to Mosier. Mrs. Maine and Mrs. McMaham are sis- ters. 1985 — 30 years ago A rush effort to repair hot water pipes at Hood River Valley High School was nearly completed Tuesday. It meant by midweek a gym- nasium that had been with- out heat since Dec. 27 will be back in service, and the school cafeteria can return to normal operation. All ac- tivities in the gym were can- celed or transferred, and the cafeteria kitchen was put on emergency heat when it was discovered the five-inch steel pipe carrying water to heat the buildings complete- ly broke down. Emergency action by the Hood River County Board of Commissioners cleared the way to compete work need- ed to open a new jail annex here. A new addition has been constructed at the east end of the county court- house. And while the addi- tion is virtually completed the county has not been given clearance to occupy the new addition. Reason for the delay is security. Dis- trict Attorney Sally Tebbet told the commission a jail inspector said before it could open, a wall would h ave t o b e c o n s t r u c t e d around the dispatch center of the addition. 1995 — 20 years ago 1995 is unlike any other year in Hood River. It’s an opportunity to recognize a century of history with an eye toward the future. This year marks the centennial university of the town’s in- corporation. A local group is busy to make sure the oc- casion does not go unno- ticed. Planning culminates Feb. 18, the actual anniver- sary date, with a centennial celebration held at the Hood River News’ 419 State Street building. It will serve as a community open house at the newspaper’s new build- ing. It was a typical, cold, windy and showery day in Hood River last week. Not uncommon for a winter day. Kids were enjoying their Christmas vacation, playing basketball behind the First Baptist Church of Hood River at 1889 Belmont Road. But this was more than just a pickup game. This was practice. As it is now, Bap- tist Christian athletes com- pete in the Koinea League. Most of the members are small, private schools in the Portland area and because Baptist Christian has no gym, most games are on the road. The home away from home for Baptist Christian athletics is Hood River Mid- dle School. 2005 — 10 years ago Hood River County resi- dents are invited to learn more about Measure 37 and its potential effects of Ore- gon’s land-use planning and property rights on Jan. 11. Windermere Glenn Taylor Real Estate is hosting a forum that explores the new law in the Gorge Club at the H o o d R ive r I n n . “ We thought people needed to know what the process was to file a claim with agencies that have all taken a differ- ent approach to Measure 37,” said Risa Wonsyld, or- ganizer of the event. An unknown burglar ap- pears to be on the hunt for easy cash by targeting more than two dozen area busi- nesses in recent weeks. Last weekend three business owners in the mid valley and upper valley marked the beginning of the New Year by ringing in reports of thefts. These break-ins have brought the total number of victims to 20. — Compiled by Trisha Walker, news staff writer VERBATIM Old Year Goes Out Like Lion Snowstorm Saturday Morning Ties Up Power And Telephone Service In Dee And Parkdale Residents who predict- ed that a green Christmas would be duplicated by a green New Year’s, re- ceived something akin to a shock when, last Satur- day morning, they awoke to find the countryside under a blanket of snow from five to ten inches deep. This snow was the heaviest seen here in many years and in sever- al sections of the valley it was reported that the tops of coniferous trees broke out under the heavy burden of snow. In yards of many homes, shrubs were borne to the ground by the snow. In Dee and the Upper Valley, both phone and power lines collapsed and while the power service was quickly resumed, a number of phone users were without service for several days, so extensive was the damage to cir- cuits. Throughout Saturday and S u n d ay s n ow squalls were frequent, but accompanying show- ers of rain packed the snow rapidly and yester- d ay t h e bl a n ke t h a d shr unk to about two inches in the Lower Val- ley to less than five inch- es in the upper section of the valley, the covering now being barely suffi- cient to protect straw- berry plants. Yesterday, the winter held full sway in the Mid-Columbia, for the temperature had dropped well below the freezing point on the past two days, being 24 on Wednesday morning and 22 yesterday. — Hood River News, January 4, 1935
