Dr. Tina Castañares opens general practice in 1985 1915 — 100 years ago Three pictures of the Hood River county library appear in the biennial re- port of the Oregon State Li- brary to the present legisla- tive assembly. These are the only pictures contained in the report and show the ex- t e r i o r s a n d a r c h i t e c t ’s plans. “Many have built and occupied during the past six months,” says the report. “One of the most attractive small library buildings, that at Hood River, is illus- trated in this report, that I may serve as a model for others who are planning small buildings.” 1925 — 90 years ago The Hood River Bakery this week received its fine new tr uck with special body. The truck was pur- chased from Bennett Broth- ers of this city, and is of the Dodge type. The special de- livery body bears the em- blem of the local bakery’s “Two Mountain” bread and striking pictures of Mounts Hood and Adams are car- ried. The trade name was adopted after a recent con- test and the general public is rapidly recognizing Two Mountain bread and other baked products are of a quality that more than com- pares with baked products brought in from outside. The fortunate discovery that dry rot fungus has at- tacked the beams and stud- ding in the city hall build- the amount of $5,000, and there is cash in hand suffi- cient to take care of part of the improvement bonds that mature this year. However, the bonds of the Oak and State street improvements may not be taken up unless taxes are collected in grater volume than during the past few years. 1945 — 70 years ago The recent application of the First National Bank to the War Production Board for enlarging and remodel- ing has been turned down, states E.L. Morton, manag- er. Plans for complete re- arrangement were recently drawn by Knute Roald, Port- land architect. At the pre- sent time, the bank is han- dling all of the extra work occasioned by the War Ra- tioning program without sufficient facilities for this additional volume. It is hoped that, in the very near future, the work can be commenced and the neces- sary relief granted to the very patient patrons of the bank who have been so gra- cious in their attitude to- ward this serious problem. The War Food Adminis- tration has amended War Food Order 121 to remove from the order apples of De- licious variety. Winesap and Newtown varieties are re- tained in the order, which was issued Jan. 16, 1945, to make certain varieties of apples grown and located in the states of Oregon and podiatry M T .

FEBRUARY 20, 1975: Getting ready for an unusual start of a fund raising campaign sponsored by Jaycettes are two who will participate in the Saturday program. Kerry Sauvageau, left, and Sue Hukari familiarize themselves with equipment at the Ben Franklin store they’ll use Saturday in a “hot popcorn and hot pants sale” at the shopping center variety store. The Jaycettes have a collection of hot pants they’ll sell for $1 each, and the popcorn will be on sale from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. All proceeds will go to the Don Goss family benefit.This is one of several projects by the Jaycettes to help in the project, which was initiated after fire destroyed the Goss home Jan. 2. usual thing about this: She was 90 years old on Feb. 12. Several women in the Pine Grove community hosted the party at the Earl Moore home, and Mrs. Moore pro- vided cakes and other re- freshments for about 65 guests. The first phase of Hood River County’s reborn Unit- ed Fund Campaign got off the ground Monday with the opening of the drive for funds from corporate firms and professional people. Ul- timate goal of the project which combines five local efforts into one, is $18,400. 1975 — 40 years ago FEBRUARY 16, 2005: Heartfelt Greetings — Westside Elementary third-grader Lisa Carrasco adds her valentine Monday to the bulging pile of cards and chocolates that students brought to sec- retary Barb Cooper, looking on, and principal Terri Vann, in celebra- tion of Valentine’s Day. ing at this time will proba- bly save the city a big bill, or perhaps collapse of the building at a later date. Ed. Kreig and his men have torn out the plaster in the comfort station and in the fire hall and several patches of destroyed wood in beams and studding were exposed. Mr. Kreig states that he now believes all the infected wo o d a s b e e n e x p o s e d . These faulty timbers will be replaced. The cost of this repair will probably amount to about $300. 1935 — 80 years ago In spite of the favoring memorial from the Oregon legislature, the Mount Hood tramway project has been definitely rejected by all de- partments of the Public Wo rk s A d m i n i s t r a t i o n , which declare that the pro- ject does not come within the scope of the loaning powers of the bureau. It would now appear that, short of financing by pri- vate financial groups, the Mount Hood cableway pro- ject will again go into hiber- nation. The financial condition of the Municipality of Hood River shows a marked im- provement during the past year, as compared with the year 1933. During the year under review, say the audi- tors, there was a decrease in uncollected taxes, and a warrant indebtedness was reduced by $7,300 during the same period. Cold Springs water bonds were retired in Washington more available for the armed forces and other governmental agen- cies. 1955 — 60 years ago Armas Jakku of Odell was reelected as supervisor of the Hood River Soil Con- servation District for a three-year term at the annu- a l m e e t i n g at Ro ck fo rd Wednesday. The program included a motion picture, “The Big Test;” the annual report by William Hazel- tine; a report on the conser- vation program by Dick Prowell, engineer; “and a S o i l S u r ve y ” by Ru dy Mayko, of the state soil con- servation service. Hood River County is one of the first two counties in Oregon to exceed its goal to help finance the Stanford research study of the pro- posed 1959 World’s Fair in Oregon. Roy Webster, who headed the local drive and is chairman of the county centennial committee, was given a check for $576 — $76 in excess of the goal — by Ed Steele, chamber of com- merce manager-secretary. A l t h o u g h We b s t e r h a d hoped the local drive would net $1,000, it was learned that the goal set by the state committee for the county was only $500. 1965 — 50 years ago “It’s my first birthday party,” said Mrs. Jessie Van- nier of Pine Grove when friends entertained in her honor last Friday.

Called Camp Brrr — the name comes to you nat- urally after a while — the camp-out was the second annual winter trip for scouts from the Mid-Colum- bia. Too add to the setting, each troop designated their individual camp with a name that coincided with the scenery. Signs bearing names like “Polar Bear” or “Snow Cave” protr uded from the snow at various lo- cations. This Friday is “kick-off ” for the Hood River News’ annual subscription cam- paign.

The massive Diamond project, the possible purchase of the Mt. Hood Railway, Wells Is- land development and a number of smaller projects are all underway and re- quire attention. D r. T i n a C a s t a ñ a r e s, M.D., will formally open a general practice in the of- fices of Dr. W.T. Edmundson starting Feb. 25. She arrived here in October, and estab- lished residence here per- manently late in January. While she’ll share offices and staff with Dr. Edmund- son, she will maintain a separate practice. While she is not the first woman doctor in this area, she may become the first to open a regularly established office practice here. 1995 — 20 years ago After spending time be- hind jail bars Thursday, Hood River County Board of Commission members seemed to get a clear under- standing about the limits of their aging lockup. What is still unclear, though, is whether it’s a good idea to join a proposed six-county regional jail project. This Tuesday, commissioners are scheduled to decide if they want to take the next step in regional jail development. Hood River wasn’t spared from a second round of snowfall Wednesday. It was the second time in 72 hours that a heavy amount of win- ter weather hit the gorge. The snow was about eight inches deep around town. Relief came Thursday as a warm front brought rain to the area and melted away most of the snow. 2005 — 10 years ago Young people, Hispanics and underserved members of the Mid-Columbia region will gain improved access to healthcare career train- ing thanks to funding award this winter to a con- sortium of local agencies. Columbia Gorge Communi- ty College spearheaded the successful proposal to the Ore gon Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development, in concert with La Clinica del Carino, Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital, Mid-Columbia Council of Governments and other re- gional workforce training and health programs. In January, while most of us sat helplessly watching news reports of the Dec. 26 tsunami’s devastation in the countries surrounding the Indian Ocean, Hood River nurse Laney Gale was using her skills to help the villagers on a small island near Banda Aceh, one of the hardest hit areas of the re g i o n . G a l e s p e n t t wo weeks last month working with the grass roots aid group Waves of Mercy, who a re c o o p e r at i n g w i t h a g roup called the Global Sikhs to bring medical aid and supplies to areas only accessible by boat. — Compiled by Trisha Walker, news staff writer VERBATIM Heated Talk Marks Airing of Road Names It’s almost habit how for the County Planning Commission to face a group of upset citizens at its regular meetings, and Tuesday night was no ex- ception. The pattern has devel- oped since cards went out telling valley residents their addresses were going to change under a new grid system. Part of the 15-member group at Tuesday’s meet- i n g w a s eve n m o r e stirred up than usual, because it had taken them two days to find the right meeting. On Monday night, part of the group went to a city council meeting, under- standing here was to be a discussion of the street renaming pro- gram. C o u n c i l m e n we n t through their regular business, told the visi- tors street name changes were not on the agenda for discussion, but entered an informal discussion with the visi- tors — several of them from outside the city limits. Others who wanted to attend a protest meeting had gone to the court h o u s e M o n d ay n i g h t only to find the meeting room dark. “We had about 200 out last night,” said one of the men in the audience. Although they weren’t as numerous at Tuesday night’s meeting, they were vociferous. In a dis- cussion that was punctu- ated by frequent inter- ruptions and loud voices on both sides of the table, one woman in the back of the room burst out that the program was being carried out “almost like commu- nism.” At one point, John Huston, who said he had lived 63 of his 81 years at one place on Belmont Road, and flatly, “It will be Belmont Road as long as I live.” Eventually the tone of the meeting quieted down into an explana- t i o n by c o m m i s s i o n chairman Bill Furrow of the grid plan and how it c a m e t o b e. H e a l s o stressed that the com- mission was planning a whole series of public meetings in various areas to go over the plans and problems. New houses mush- rooming in the communi- ty had completely dis- rupted the numbering system, Fur row ex- plained, and the local post office felt a new sys- tem was needed. He pointed out that it is the responsibility of the county to name or alter road names on county routes. He also said it was not uncommon for road names to be change, and these changes were never voted on. Carl Krieg, a member of the commission who was frequently at the center of the night’s dis- cussion, summariz ed his opinion this way: “I’ve lived here a long time, too. I didn’t like the idea of changing the road names, but things are in a mess now and something has to be done. We owe it to our kids to straighten things out, and this is the best plan this commission came up with. We’ re willing to listen to con- structive suggestions anytime.” — Hood River News, February 18, 1965
