It’s off the drawing board
and into construction for a
major power generation
project for the Farmers Irri-
gation District. And nobody
on Orchard Road has to be
reminded of that fact.
That’s where construction
crews have started burying
the huge concrete pipes that
will transmit the irrigation
water from a west side ditch
to turbines powering gener-
ators at the edge of the
Hood River just above the
Powerdale dam.
Hope for renovating the
city swimming pool bath-
house in time for the sum-

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? It’s a
combination that is about to
arrive in Hood River. 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.
Final wrinkles in the Sec-
ond Street Overpass con-
struction schedule were
ironed out here Wednesday
when Oregon Department
of Transportation officials
met with project contractor,
Weaver Construction. Work
will begin on schedule this
Monday on the overpass
above Interstate 84. Traffic
will be limited to one south-
bound lane through May.

JANUARY 23, 1975: It’s a start for Tracy Kennedy and the Hood
River Valley High ski team — and on the opening weekend at Mt.
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.

1975 — 40 years ago
Thanks to a sizeable in-

About 20 juveniles crowd-

five cars that transported
them from the scene. Sher-
