S. Steele; vice- president, Col. W.S. Dowd, R.E. Scott and H.L. Shoemak- er. Hold over members of the board are: Leroy Childs, F.A. Olmstead, A.F.S. Steele and Geo. R. Wilber. L.J. Daniels, better known as “Shorty,” has decided to go into business for himself and naturally has chosen the line he has followed for many years. He has equipped a laundry with all electrical ap- pliances and is ready for busi- ness. Shorty was five years with Hood River laundry and for seven years previous to that, was head laundryman for the Canadian Pacific Rail- road. 1935 — 80 years ago New construction of Plan No. 2 of the Federal Housing Act, is ready to be put into op- eration. The First National Bank has full information re- garding plan No. 2 and will make loans under this part of the Act. Mr. Ericson will have charge of the Better Housing campaign and will be located in the Chamber of Com- merce. The purpose of this campaign is to help people in making their plans to remod- el or build new houses this spring. The backing up of water by Bonneville Dam will call for the building of new ap- proaches on both ends of the bridge, to provide overhead railroad crossings, says E.M. Chandler, president of the Oregon-Washington Bridge Company. It is planned to straighten the White Salmon approach to meet the Ever- green highway on a practical- ly straight line. The Hood River approach will be raised and straightened, provide an overhead railroad crossings and meet the Columbia high- way on practically a straight line, eliminating the present river road which is to be flooded over when the dam is complete. 1945 — 70 years ago Oregon has been given a conditional promise of 5,000 Mexican farm laborers for the coming season, compared with 5,200 used last year. Ac- tual arrival of the Mexicans, who have proved so satisfac- tory in the past two years, de- pends upon successful negoti- ation for the recruitment in and transportation from Mex- ico. General Philip G. Burton, administrator of the office of labor, is actively working with the Mexican govern- ment in an attempt to over- come some of the problems that arose last year in the course of the season’s negoti- ations. The Neal Creek Lumber Company’s sawmill, adjoin- ing the Loop highway, was completely destroyed by fire, of unascertained origin on Thursday of last week. Only the early arrival of the auxil- iary pumper from Hood River to cooperate with several small firefighting units, made it possible to save the adjoin- ing planer and other nearby buildings.

On that date 21 persons gathered for reli- gious services in the Hans Lage home and the Pine Grove Community Sunday School was formed. The 75th anniversary celebration was attended by approximately 150 persons Monday. Earl Moore, who came to Pine Grove in 1906, grew up with the church which was dedi- cated April 28, 1907. Earl found in his father’s diary that he was a teacher of the adult Bible class at the time. Hood River’s swimming pool ended the 1954 season with a $3,698.20 deficit, re- ported William Sylvester, recorder, to the Monday night city council meeting. Mayor Charles Howe and City Attor- ney John Mohr reminded that the pool was open to all children in the county and was therefore a service of- fered by the city for both city and county children. More than 11 feet of snow coated the mountainside when a measuring crew made its way into the Hood River Meadows ski area early this month. Measure- ment at the mid-base section of the proposed meadows ski area was 126 inches. “And it was probably 20 feet at the upper level,” said one mem- ber of the crew. Freeway work between Mitchell Point and Cascade Locks, the largest project of its kind in Hood River coun- ty history, will soon move into the construction phase. Mor rison-Knudsen, the Idaho based firm which won the contract, is expected to start work on the 13.5 mile section as soon as details of work schedules are worked out and equipment is ready to go. August 1966 is the com- pletion date for the $6,245,500 project. radiology P R O V I D E N C E M E D I C A L GR O U P — H OO D R I V E R 1955 — 60 years ago 1965 — 50 years ago 1700 12th St., Ste B Hood River, Oregon 97031 5 4 1 . 3 8 6. 1 0 06 5 4 1 - 38 6 - 1 2 8 4 F a x www.mthoodpodiatry.com • • • • • • • FEBRUARY 13, 1985: Machel Jubitz, 7, enjoys a cup of hot cocoa, made from her mother Joy Jubitz’s homemade cocoa mix.

Western Power Products, a Portland-based fir m that manufactures equipment of the electric utilities industry, signed papers Monday to con- struct a manufacturing plant on Port of Hood River indus- trial proper ty. William Bright, president of Western Power Products, hopes to have the Hood River plant op- erating by “early June” this year. Under the agreement, the $300,000 metal building which will house the manu- facturing operation will be constructed to company spec- ifications through Port of Hood River financing. It will be located on a four-acre tract at the northwest corner of the Port of Hood River’s in- dustrial site near the Colum- bia River. A team of leaders from Oregon Rural Opportunities, the state-wide version of the former Willamette Valley- based Valley Migrant League, drew a crowd estimated at over 120 persons when they held an election meeting here Tuesday. Many of the persons attending posed questions an- tagonistic to the meeting or- ganizers, who have been the target of opposition ever since the Valley Migrant League entered the program which has led to its name change and expansion to Ore- gon Rural Opportunities. 1985 — 30 years ago New meaning to the term “winter storm” arrived in Hood River with the month of February. It started with pipe-busting sub-zero tem- peratures early, followed by repeated storms bring every texture of snow, from powder to slush, to the valley. The storm was a particular disas- ter to a business not usually associated with cold weather. Jose’s Taco House had sched- uled its 15th anniversary cel- ebration Thursday and Fri- day, but the business was completely snowed in. Owner Jose Castilla noted that “we will still be rolling our prices back to the 1970 menu when we opened,” but it will come a week later than planned. Jim Kelly, who has been general manager of the Hood River News for the past four and a half years, has been named publisher of the New- berg Graphic, and will be succeeded by News market- ing manager Roy Stollery. Both actions are effective March 1. 1995 — 20 years ago Purple Rocks Art Bar and Café is the place to be Thurs- day nights. For high school students, Purple Rocks, locat- ed at 606 Oak Ave., has been a place to go to be with friends, enjoy entertainment and — of course — have something to eat. What makes Thursday evenings different is that the restaurant is operated by stu- dents as part of an arts and communications class, taught by Steve Labadie, at Hood River Valley High School. For an entire elementary school to keep a secret for two months from its principal, well, that deserves some recognition. However in this case, the recognition goes to the principal. Pine Grove Ele- mentary Principal Doug Mahurin has been named ad- ministrator of the year by the Oregon Reading Association thanks to a nomination by the students and staff of the school. Mahurin learned of the award for the first time at an all-school assembly Wednesday. 2005 — 10 years ago The crowd gathered at the Mt. Hood Express chairlift line was already throbbing with anxiety by 8:30 a.m. Monday. Thirty minutes later, when Mt. Hood Meadows ski lift operators sent the first four skiers up to 5,400 feet for first tracks on the 18 inches of snow that fell throughout last weekend, somebody fired a loud “Whooop!” Ripples of uncertainty have once again ruffled the seemingly placid surface of a waterfront plan. The latest warning that a storm could be brewing on the horizon has been issued by Port of Hood River attorney Jerry Jaques. Last week, he in- formed port commissioners that some new language in- corporated by the City of Hood River in a proposed agreement for park develop- ment was “ambiguous and unworkable.” His words eeri- ly echoed comments recently expressed by Bend developer William Smith over the ac- companying mixed-use zon- ing plan. — Compiled by Trisha Walker, news staff writer BEFORE MEMORIES FADE: Uncovering the Story of the Kida Family of White Salmon When evacuation orders were issued in April of 1942, Kenjiro and Kay Kida, along with their son George, were farming, raising cattle, and growing fruit on their family operated ranch outside of White Salmon. Classified as “enemy aliens” by their own government, the Kida family had days to pack only what they could carry and report to the Portland Assembly Center. The Kidas’ experience was not unlike those of 120,000 oth- ers of Japanese ancestry who were forcibly removed from the West Coast. What made their story unique is that upon evacuation, residents of the town of White Salmon signed a petition attesting to the character of their “good neighbors” and asking an ex- ception be made of these “loyal citizens.” Both heartbreaking and in- spirational, Before Memories Fade gives voice to a family’s story that was at risk of being lost forever. Using first-hand materials and community rec- ollections, our all-volunteer exhibit committee has been able to walk in the footsteps of Kenjiro and Kay Kida and their son George. While this branch of the Kida ended when George passed away in 1998, the memory of the fami- ly continues to be carried in the hearts of their friends and neighbors. This hands-on, multimedia exhibit analyzes photographs, oral histories, newspaper arti- cles, and other primary re- sources. As history detectives, our audience of youth and adults alike are encouraged to discover history for them- selves. Visitors are able to watch videos and view photos of our exhibit committee vis- iting historic sites, interview- ing friends and neighbors of the Kidas, and uncovering clues that tells us more about the family. We invite you to join us on their journey from immigra- tion, through World War II, to the end of a century. Along the way, find out how the road that led us to the Kidas intersects not just one Japanese Ameri- can family but the American experience itself.
