Hope for renovating the city swimming pool bath- house in time for the sum- mer swimming season re- ceived a boost last week when the Hood River Rotary Club got behind the major fundraising effort. Rotary Club members showed “total support” for the project by their unanimous decision to back the drive with fundrais- ers and general enthusiasm, according to City Adminis- trator Pete Harris. The Ro- tarians plan to provide help in an effort by the swimming pool project committee to raise approximately $50,000 for the renovation of the pool bathhouse. Pizza and a movie?

An- drew and Melissa McElder- ry, owners of the popular Andrew’s Pizza and Bakery at 107 Oak Ave., plan to open a theater pub at their down- town location during early spring. McElderry says the theater pub is just the kind of enter tainment that’s lacking in Hood River. Sec- ond run motion pictures will be screened. Also antic- ipated are movie festivals.

Hood it was a good start for the year’s competition. Hood River Valley High boys, the Oregon State champs last year, had to settle for a second place tie in the opening league meet. But the girls’ team dazzled the league with their performance. Tracy and her teammates started the season with a first place win at Multorpor. In fact, Debbie Magnusen posted a better time than any of the boys who followed, and Ann Harmon wasn’t far being and out skied the boys. VERBATIM Clerks Shackled A man armed with a long-barrel revolver held up two employees at Prairie Market last Tues- day night and made off with nearly $3,000, and investigations are con- tinuing in full force this week. “It’s still under inves- tigation,” said Sheriff Dick Kelly early this week. “We’re working closely with the store’s security department and we’re trading informa- tion with a couple of other agencies.” A man identified as being in his mid-20s, about 5’8” and 160 pounds with sandy hair over the ears, hand- cuffed two store employ- ees after closing hours last Tuesday night and then stole an estimated $2,970 from the store safe and tills. Police received the robbery report at about 10 p.m., nearly two hours after the hold-up oc- curred and the employ- ees, two men, one 26 and the other 31, were hand- cuffed to a building ma- chine in the rear of the store. One of the men report- ed that the suspect was removing items from his cart and putting them on the check stand as he was closing out another till for the night at ap- proximately 8:05 p.m. He said the man said, “Hey, this is a stick-up,” and pointed a long-barrel re- volver at him. The suspect had him lock the doors, then led him to where the second man was working. Police reported all three men then walked to the back of the store, where one was ordered to handcuff the other to a bundling machine. The suspect then handcuf fed the other to the same ma- chine. Sheriff Kelly said the cuffs used were “just above toys.” He said they were not high quality law enforcement cuffs. It was nearly two hours before one of the men broke free by work- ing his cuffs loose, and he immediately contact- ed police. The second was then cut free by po- liceman. Store employee Steve Miller reported Thurs- day that it appeared about $2,929.19 was miss- ing, including $350 in new $1 bills and about $200 in rolled quarters. Also taken were a store key and nigh deposit key. Employees and offi- cers believe that the sus- pect was on foot at the time of the holdup, but attempts to trace his tracks by using police dog Marko were unsuc- cessful. — Hood River News, January 23, 1985 Sense of Place: Mosier Centennial, on Feb. 4 1975 — 40 years ago Thanks to a sizeable in- crease in traffic in the late months of 1974, interstate toll bridge revenue for the Port of Hood River hit a record high $528,744 for a single year. About 20 juveniles crowd- ed jail facilities here Tues- day after county and state police broke up a beer keg party on old Highway 30 during the afternoon. The youths, rounded up after t h e y s c at t e re d i n t o t h e brush, were herded back to the county courthouse in five cars that transported them from the scene. Sher- if f ’s Chief De puty Don Hardman said the five car- loads of young boys and girls were spotted by a state police officer on routine pa- trol. Hardman said they had set up a beer keg in the roadway, a stereo was play- ing and the keg — which Photo by Kirby Neumann-Rea “VOICES OF THE PAST” participants ride in the September centennial parade.
