Second Street Overpass project slated to begin in 1995
1915 — 100 years ago
Hood River has all the facil-
ities of becoming a popular
winter and summer resort
was the opinion expressed by
William McMurray, general
passenger agent of the
OWR&N upon return from
Mount Hood Lodge.
A meeting of the Parent-
Teacher Association was held
at the new Mt. Hood school
building. Several ladies from
Parkdale were also in atten-
dance. Plans were made for
providing hot lunches for the
pupils in the school.
1925 — 90 years ago
The epidemic of scarlet
fever, which has more than
held its own in town for the
past two months, has appar-
ently decided to give this sec-
tion a respite, for returns for
the past week indicate that it
is decidedly on the wane. In
the local school district, only
one new case is reported, and
similar returns are coming in
from other sections.
The opening basketball
game of the season was
played last Friday night, when
Coach Garrigus took the Hood
River High school squad to
Stevenson and defeated the
team 40 to 3. On Saturday
night, the strong Odell Town
team was defeated in the high
school gymnasium 14 to 11.
1935 — 80 years ago
Pine Grove Grange met in
all-day session Tuesday. In
spite of inclement weather,
there was an excellent atten-
dance on hand when John
Mohr, the new Master, opened
the proceedings. Grange busi-
ness was featured during the
afternoon session, which fol-
lowed a dinner put on by the
men.
The proposal to acquire the
Butler bank building as a
court house for Hood River
county, which, at the Novem-
ber election, was favored by a
large majority of voters, has
struck a snag and may floun-
der, unless Hood River coun-
ty’s delegation at Salem can be
persuaded that the majority of
the people of this county
would favor a legislative en-
actment which would permit
the county court to go ahead
with the plan of purchase
which was submitted before
the vote of November was
taken and resulted in all of
the 14 precincts of Hood River
county voting to put the plan
over. The vote was: For the
purchase of the bank build-
ing, 1588, against 781, the ratio
for and against being uniform
in rural as well as urban
precincts.
1945 — 70 years ago
It was announced by Tru-
man Butler, on Monday of this
week, that Harold Hershner
had acquired a half interest in
the insurance and real estate
business hitherto operated by
Truman Butler for many
years, on Cascade Avenue. It is
also announced that Mrs.
Bessie Weber will have a
working interest in the new
partnership of Butler & Her-
shner.

After 25 years of service to
the public at Hal’s Service Sta-
tion, Hal Nesbit is gathering
in the loose ends before he re-
tires for a vacation and before
taking up work of a less stren-
uous nature than changing
and repairing truck and other
tires in between pumping gas
and oil and fixing bicycles.
Since 1916, Hal Nesb
it
has operated either a tire re-
pair shop or a service station.
He has disposed of his service
station to Mr. and Mrs. S.A.
Richards, and it will hence-
forth be known as Richards
Service Station.

JANUARY 16, 1985 — Emergency Crew: The group shown here near a Cascade Locks fire truck rep-
resents literally hundreds of hours of intense training. They’re members of the Cascade Locks Fire and
Ambulance Department. Ambulance attendants put in long hours training to be Emergency Medical
Technicians; firefighting is also a highly developed skill that takes hours of practice.
JANUARY 14, 1965 — Chickens have extremists, too: At the
Leininger place on Rt. 1 they don’t go in for middle-of-the-road
chickens. The two eggs held by Mrs. Dorothy Leininger and her son
Bobby prove the hens do things in a very big — or small — way.
The large egg weighs four ounces, and itw as a Christmas Eve gift
from a Speckled Sussex hen. The hen which laid the marble-sized
egg on Jan. 6 remained anonymous. Chickens at the Leiningers’ are
as unusual as the eggs. They have Light Brahams, Dark Cornish,
White Silkies, Australorps and Black Giants as well as Speckled Sus-
sex chickens.
PET OF THE WEEK
Roxie still looking
for forever home
This week volunteers at
Adopt A Dog have selected
Roxy as the program’s adopt-
able pet of the week:
Roxy is about 1 or 2 years
old, weighs 50 pounds, and
been at the shelter for way to
long for such a good girl! But
she’s used her time with us
to blossom into a great ca-
nine cutie!
Roxy has learned her good-
doggie manners, knows lots of
commands, and has good
leash skills down like a pro ...
usually! It’s on her last stretch
back to the shelter that Roxy
starts to act up and chew on
her leash. But a firm no and
she stops and goes back to
being a good girl! Roxy loves to
play with other dogs, but some
find her enthusiasm less than
endearing and don’t appreci-
ate her romping around tac-
tics. And toys? Boy, has she
figured those fun things
out! She LOVES toys!
It’s just her ears that
haven’t figured out what they
want to be. Stand up? Or flop
over. From one side, she’s like,
“Yeah, I’m all chill and just
hangin out.” But the other ear
is like, ”What? Toy? Squirrel?
Play?” It’s always up and lis-
tening for something fun that
might come along. Anything
is a possible play toy to her
and she loves it! One thing
everyone says about Roxy is
she sure knows how to find
fun! It should be her middle
name! ar rides, toys, other
dogs ... Cats don’t seem to ap-
preciate being in that group,
though. She likes to chase
cats, but more as another play
Unemployment in the Hood
River area took a sharp rise in
December, when many log-
ging operations closed due to
bad weather, reports Boyd W.
Jackson, manager of the local
state employment service
branch, but the number of un-
employment claims have been
lower during the past week as
compared to a corresponding
period last year. Several
sawmills are expected to re-
sume operations this month,
and pruning has started with
a peak of approximately 1,000
workers expected to be em-
ployed by mid-February.
A “telethon” is being spon-
sored starting at 6:30 p.m.
Wednesday, Jan. 19 over radio
station KIHR and sponsored
by the county junior chamber
of commerce. During the
evening program the services
of city and county officials
and other public figures will
be sold to the highest bidders.
1965 — 50 years ago
A two-mile road to the Hood
River Meadows ski area,
planned to secondary high-
way specifications, was high
on the list of Forest service
projects before flooding came
along in December. Now, the
status is uncertain. Unless
Congress provides additional
money for flood damage, it
will probably be set back at
least a year. Planning for the
new ski area will go ahead,
and approval of the plan is ex-
pected soon, said District
Ranger Cranson Fosburg.
Sales in Hood River coun-
ty’s 151 retail establishments
were $19.4 million in 1963, ac-
cording to figures released
this week by the U.S. Census
Bureau. It represented a 22
percent increase from 1958,
the last time the census had
been computed. This informa-
tion was in a news story that
was actually written by a com-
puter.
1975 — 40 years ago
A proposal will be submit-
ted to the U.S. Postal Service
for a single, new post office in
the Parkdale community to
serve the entire upper Hood
River Valley, district postal
representatives said here Fri-
day. It was also determined
that the new unit would retain
the Mt. Hood name for all out-
going mail from the headquar-
ters.
Traffic tie-ups and near-im-
possible road conditions fol-
lowed on the heels of a winter
storm that swept through
Hood River County last week
and continued through the
weekend. At one time early
Thursday, a deputy sheriff es-
timated about 100 vehicles had
slipped from the road in a traf-
fic jam. First warning of traf-
fic problems ahead came
Wednesday night when a bus
carrying high school skiers
home slipped from Highway
35 in the Willow Flat area.
1985 — 30 years ago
The “Old Spray Plant” and
“Lower Store” Diamond Fruit
Growers buildings will be just
memories after demolition is
completed in the next few
weeks. Ernie Lee, of Mid-Co-
lumbia Pools, is supervising
the removal of the buildings
on the west edge of the rail-
road-level property as part of
the Port of Hood River plan to
develop the former cannery
property for office and light
industrial use. Lee said the
“Lower Store” contains a vin-
tage water-powered elevator,
which is probably one of the
few of its kind left in Oregon.
There is a fairly large group
of local people who volunteer
their time in the most worthy
of causes — fighting fires and
saving lives, and they com-
prise the Cascade Locks Vol-
unteer Fire and Ambulance
Department. Not only do they
spend many hours in train-
ing, meetings and in carrying
out the duties of their posi-
tions, they also participate in
various other community ser-
vice type projects such as
gathering food and toys for
needy families at Christmas.
1995 — 20 years ago
Downtown Hood River is
about to experience one of
the largest local highway
projects in memory, with the
$8 million reconstruction of
the Second Street Overpass
tentatively slated to start
this month. In addition,
scheduled to be completed by
October 1996, Hood River
County is in the midst of
Highway 35 reconstruction.
A $3 million Historic Colum-
bia River Highway improve-
ment is on the docket, too.
It was an offer he couldn’t
refuse, plus it was a chance
to have all the Oriental food
he could eat. Bruce Barker of
Parkdale, who has been the
mountain director at Mount
Hood Meadows for the past
13 years, is on his way to
Korea to oversee a major ex-
pansion project at a growing
ski resort 120 miles south of
Seoul. Barker and wife
Anna, who is a teacher at St.
Mary’s Academy in The
Dalles, departed Thursday.
2005 — 10 years ago
After almost a year and a
half with no place to call
their own, American Legion
Post No. 22 once again has a
permanent address. A four-
month renovation ef fort
transfor med a house on
Tucker Road into a “home”
for the Le gionnaires. “I
know what Moses felt like
when he was wandering
around in the wilderness,”
Dennis Leonard, Le gion
member, said. “The Elks
have been loaning us their
lodge for our meetings, but
we needed our own place.”
All popcorn money from
Thursday’s weekly sale at
May Street School went to
tsunami relief efforts. Stu-
dents raised $57.30. Student
Council members Harleigh
Knoll and Krista Coole sold
popcorn Thursday during
lunch break. The school is
also conducting an ongoing
coin drive to go toward help-
ing victims of last month’s
Indian Ocean earthquake
and tsunami in Indonesia,
Sri Lanka, Thailand, India
and other countries.

Capt. Tucker Featured in
Westinghouse Broadcast
Hood River
Flier Paid
Big Tribute
Many Hood River resi-
dents were thrilled Mon-
day evening of this week
when, over the Blue net-
work, they heard one of
Hood River’s army pilots,
Captain Alan Tucker, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Tucker, featured in a
Westinghouse broadcast
from London, England,
w i t h Te d M a l o n e a n -
nouncing.
Malone, recalling the
outstanding work of Cap-
tain Tucker in bringing
his bomber through one
of the real tough air
raids over Germany, re-
lated some of the inci-
dents of the devastating
raids over the big Ger-
man ball-bearing works
at Schweinfurt, in which
a large group of Ameri-
can bombers participat-
ed, 67 of which were ei-
ther shot down or were
lost through other enemy
action.
Malone then visualized
the strain under which
Captain Tucker must have
been as he carried out his
mission, and saw first one
and then another of the
huge bombers “suddenly
stop in their flight and
then start on their last de-
scent,” for those big
planes carried many of
his own personal friends,
which whom he had lived
for many months at a base
in England.
“Some of the men in
his own plane were hurt,
and the plane also was
d a m a g e d , bu t T u cke r
brought her home safely.
The raid on Schweinfurt
was a dinger,” said Mal-
one. “Tucker is one of
those leaders who win the
respect and admiration of
t h e i r c rew s, a n d t h e
g reatest tribute these
men could pay to him was
to name their bombing
plane ‘Old Man Tucker.’”
Captain Tucker’s bomb-
ing raid days are now
over, for he was sent back
from overseas to Texas,
where he is teaching
younger airmen many of
the things that will serve
them well when their turn
to go overseas comes. He
was in Hood River recent-
ly, but, like all heroes of
his type, he was willing to
talk about almost any-
thing except the exploits
which have won him some
of the highest recognition
which comes to Ar my
fliers.
