The date was set at a meeting of the Commercial Club Monday, when a former resident of the Middle West said that such an annual clearing house for farmers is a time honored in- stitution “back home” and suggested it be introduced here. Not even horse graders will be barred and bargains are expected to be found in in- exhaustible array. 1925 — 90 years ago A school bus, driven by E.C. Mooney, will make its first trip next Sunday morn- ing bringing children from the Oak Grove and neighbor- ing districts to Sunday school in Hood River. While the bus is hired by St. Mark’s church, children attending any Sunday school may ride to Hood River on the bus. Cost is 15 cents each or two tickets for the round trip for 25 cents. Children attending St. Marks will be given free tickets. Last Saturday night the Hood River High School bas- ketball team did themselves and this city proud when they won the Mid-Columbia and Central Oregon Champi- onships and qualified to rep- resent this section of the state in the big league events at Salem. The game which put them in the lead of all others was that played against Bend. 1935 — 80 years ago Nearly 200 Grangers and other residents of the valley met at Odell Grange Hall Monday night to discuss forming a Grange co-opera- tive to distribute gasoline, oils and accessories to mem- bers under the Grange plan now operating in three Northwestern states. At the conclusion of the meeting it was announced that prospec- tive members had already signed up to take approxi- mately 75,000 gallons of gaso- line per year.

A group of local boosters purchased the mono- grammed blazers for the Hood River team. Ready to lend a hand in this fitting is Fred Shestak, school principal. In the background is Glenn McPherren, one of the Hood River boosters. The jackets will be school property, and will be used by various squads. Eventually the boosters hope to buy enough of them for the football team. VERBATIM Communist Scare Ends In Fiasco Orthodox Americans Sit In At Odell Meeting And Speaker Governs Himself Accordingly Circulation of hand- bills advertising a meet- ing at an Odell far m home at which a speak- er, alleged to be a com- munist, was on the pro- gram Saturday of last week, aroused no small amount of interest and, within hours, leaders of Grangers and other or- ganizations which be- lieve in the more ortho- dox type of American- ism, had met and named delegates to sit in at the meeting and get a line on the views of the visit- ing speaker. At the meeting, howev- er, the talk given by the visiting speaker was en- tirely innocuous and the communist scare was at an end. — Hood River News, March 15, 1935 new co-operative elected were: J.R. Forden, president; Chester Shute, Odell; W. Bruce, Parkdale, W.J. Wilcox, Mosier and J.M. Taylor, sec- retary-treasurer. 1945 — 70 years ago Prospects for an airport for Hood River were much brighter this week, following the signing of a lease on the Eugene Wright property on Orchard Road by Bill Perry, unit commander of the Civil Air Patrol. The tract covers ten acres and, when ready, will provide a 1,300 foot run- way, with plenty of space for the approach of light planes. The property is part of the old Newton Clark homestead and lies just north of the King Benton orchards. At a meeting of the board of directors of School Dis- trict No. 3 (city schools), held on Wednesday, a new teach- ers’ salary schedule was ap- proved, the basic figures being raised by $100, to en- able all teachers to meet war- time conditions. 1955 — 60 years ago Roy Webster and Kenneth Brisbane were honored as the outstanding senior and junior citizens of Hood River County during the past year at the annual chamber of commerce banquet Monday at Wy’east. Approximately 130 persons were present as Webster received the senior community distinguished award and the first honorary membership in the local ju- nior chamber of commerce chapter, and as Brisbane re- ceived the junior community distinguished service award and the Jaycee “key man” honor. Channel 12 television re- ception is “spotty” through- out Hood River Valley and it will be June before city co- axial cable customers can ex- pect to receive the signal, local dealers report. The new station went on the air Mon- day and programming start- ed Wednesday at 3 p.m. Chan- nel 12 is operating on 2/3 power but sends a much shorter wave length than channel 6. Increased power is not expected to affect the reception appreciably. 1965 — 50 years ago Major renovation of The Paris Fair department store, scheduled to be completed by mid-summer, may be the first in a series of face-lifting ef- forts for Hood River business houses. Paris Fair’s Dick Lance said a “completely new” front will be put on the store, a longtime local fix- ture on the local business scene. New windows, a single double door, and convertible backdrops for the windows will be features of the front. A student pilot from The Dalles left his plane unin- jured after a crash Saturday afternoon. Flying a Piper Cherokee rented from The Dallesport airport, he tried a landing at the Hanel Mill strip between Hood River and Mt. Hood. “He apparent- ly misjudged the depth of the field, and started to level off too late,” observed Sheriff R.L. Gillmouthe. The plane’s prop gouged the ground where it hit first, then it ran off the end of the runway and plowed through shrubs and small trees. 1975 — 40 years ago While unemployment wor- ries fill the minds of many, Hood River County juvenile director Rod Vickers’ think- MARCH 13, 1985: Mike Christopher of the alumni team sets for a shot during Sunday night’s HRVHS donkey basketball game. ing is geared in the opposite direction. He has plenty of openings for what he calls “unpaid employees of our system here.” These unpaid employees — or volunteers as they are more commonly ter med — are needed to counsel, befriend or simply talk with youngsters in the community. “We can use as many people as possible,” Vickers says. A “mini mall” under con- struction on Oak Street will have a restaurant, beauty shop and travel agency, ac- cording to information pro- vided by owners as the pro- ject grew closer to comple- tion this week. There will be seven spaces available in the unique project. Besides the three already listed, several other businesses have ex- pressed interest in shop space. One has been a gift boutique, but this has not en- tered the contract stage. 1985 — 30 years ago Two major city-related projects planned for this year have faced setbacks — at least temporarily. The city’s swimming pool will not have a renovated bath- house for the 1985 swim sea- son, and road work on phase one of the city’s “Cannery Square” project near the old Diamond Fruit facility will not begin until the fall at the earliest. City Administrator Pete Harris had hopes that both projects would still be accomplished in the near fu- ture, but noted that both are now in a holding phase. It was basketball of a dif- ferent sort at Hood River Val- ley High Sunday night when Bob Crosby’s Donkey Basket- ball Show took the floor. It wasn’t the players in the spotlight this time; it was eight stubbor n, unpre- dictable donkeys. Scoring was minimal in all cases as the donkeys pretty much had their way with even the sharpest of shooters. 1995 — 20 years ago Some members of the Wa- terfront Advisory Commit- tee expressed displeasure Monday at having port con- sultants present possibilities for the waterfront before the committee had completed its list of objectives for the area. While committee members said some of the uses posted by consultants were intrigu- ing, some worried about the prospect of too many large buildings, too much paved parking land and too many people descending on Hood River. Honored at last Thurs- day’s Upper Valley Lions recognition dinner, held to celebrate 24 years of activi- ties, were Harold Dykstra, Jim McClain and Ron Phillips. District Gov. Mits Tamiyasu presented the awards. Al three received Melvin Jones Fellowships, the highest Lions award. Since its charter, the group has contributed over $47,000 to Oregon Sight and Hearing Foundation. 2005 — 10 years ago Hoping to recapture the momentum of three sea- sons ago, the next genera- tion of Hood River Valley High School girls soccer players is putting in some serious overtime this off- season. After missing the state playoffs for the past two seasons, the Eagles are raising the bar this winter and spring, playing a full slate of indoor games in Vancouver and joining a Po r t l a n d - a r e a o u t d o o r league this spring. “The most important thing of these girls right now is to keep playing on the same field together,” said interim coach Tom Lichty, whose daughter Dani was one of three freshman on the 2004 varsity roster. Beneath a budding pear tree in an orchard along Highway 35, Wendell Wal- ton applies his weight to a soil probe — a long, thin metal stick with an open canal at the end. The Stadel- man field rep. twists the probe, then slides it from the ground and gathers its dark, rich soil in his left hand. The soil is moist enough for Walton to ball it up, but not moist enough for March 9. The soil, he says, feels more like it should feel in May — 52 days away. If the trees don’t get enough water, they’ll suck it out of the fruit and with it, the fruit’s luster in an effort to survive what could be one of the driest farming sea- sons on record. — Compiled by Trisha Walker, news staff writer YESTERYEARS Miss Susie is shelter favorite, but ready for her new home This week volunteers at Adopt A Dog have selected Susie as the program’s adopt- able pet of the week: Little Miss Susie is definite- ly ready for spring and the sunny weather! She’s about a year old, and likely a mix of Rhodesian Ridgeback and Boxer. She weighs in at 70 pounds, which is so much bet- ter than when she was found way back in December. She had clearly been on her own for a while and found safe haven under an overturned boat on someone’s proper- ty. They took this girl in and got her warm and fed and then gave us a call, and Susie has been happy and grateful ever since! She’s super, SUPER playful, and loves every dog she’s ever met! She’s fantastic on a leashed walk, and comes a- barrelin’ when you call her name! Susie is so sweet and fun, she’s easily a favorite among the shelter volunteers. Because she’s so energetic, Susie would love to go to an active home, and if you already have a dog, well, all the better! Susie is calm around small kids, and of course other dogs. She’s fine with cats, housetrained, crate trained… Let’s see. What else? Oh, laps! Yes, Susie thinks she’s the perfect size and will make sure she fits into any lap, so be ready! No one can resist this won- Susie derful girl! Life has never been so good for this sweetie, and the only way it’ll get better is when her forever family shows up to take her home! Every time I see that face smil- ing back at me, I just gotta chuckle! Susie is current on shots, microchipped and spayed. The adoption fee for Funny Girl Susie is $195. The fee to adopt is charged to re- coup standard veterinary ex- penses. Since many of our dogs are in foster, please call ahead to meet Susie in Odell at the Hukari Animal Shelter 3910 Heron Drive, or call for more information at 541-354- 1083. Adoption hours are Wednesday, 5-7 p.m. and Satur- day, 9-11 a.m. You can fill out an application online at our website, www.hoodriveradopt- adog.org, or download and scan and email to us at adop- tadog@gorge.net, or fax it in to 1-877-833-7166.
