New jail nearing completion at HR County Courthouse this week in 1985
1915 — 100 years ago
The Transfer and Livery
Company this week complet-
ed work on the new Heights
sewer system, which, in a gen-
eral way, includes the district
west of Twelfth street and
south of Pine street. 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

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.

Residents of the Upper
Valley are now agitating for
a yellow center stripe on the
Loop highway, similar to

trict, beginning Jan. 2, 1935,

1934, are: Lewis H. Parker,
Parkdale; Samuel L. Banks,

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

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

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-

have been sent pocket cards in which contributions may be
mailed to the local Dimes organization.

late fall and winter many

by motorists using the Loop

times extremely difficult

Because there are many
dangerous zones on this

PET OF THE WEEK
Roxie perfect for active home
This week volunteers at
Adopt A Dog have selected
Roxie as the pro g ram’s
adoptable pet of the week
and describe her as follows:
Roxie is a beautiful, active
dog.
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. Since many of our
dogs are in foster, please call
ahead to meet Roxie in Odell
at the Hukari Animal Shel-
ter, 3910 Heron Dr., Hood
River, or call for more infor-
mation at 541-354-1083. Adop-
tion hours are Wed., 5-7 p.m.
and Sat., 9-11 a.m. You can fill
out an application online at
our website: www.hoodriver-
adoptadog.org, or download

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.

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.
