City Council grants permission for construction of swimming pool in 1915 1915 — 100 years ago At the meeting of the City Council Monday night a committee was named to represent the city in the matter of establishing a city swimming pool. The Council committee, which has been given power to act, granted a permit to build the proposed concrete swimming pool on the city park grounds at the corner of 13th and May streets. It is proposed to construct a pool 30 by 75 feet in size. In order to do this work, the commit- tee proposed to ask for pub- lic contributions. On Friday evening, April 9, the new Parkdale orches- tra makes its bow to the public by giving a dance at McIsaac’s Hall. The boys should receive encourage- ment by a good attendance as their musical ability is known to all and it marks a step in the progress of any community to have an or- chestra of its own. 1925 — 90 years ago The local sheriff ’s office is at a loss to know what to do with five very small boys of Oak Grove who were picked up at the Oak Grove store last week when the of- ficers had hidden them- selves in the store to arrest buglers. The officers had re- ceived information that the store might be robbed and several entered the building and hid themselves after dark. Sometime afterwards, they heard a noise and iden- tified it as a window being opened. Giving the burglars time to enter, the officers sud- denly switched on the lights and there, blinking and ter- ribly scared, stood five tiny boys. They confessed they had entered the store to take candy. There have been a number of petty thefts from the store recently, and it is believed that the detec- tion of these boys may act as a check to others who are believed to be involved. 1935 — 80 years ago With chill gone from the air during the daytime, it is conceded that the long-de- layed spring has arrived in Hood River Valley and pre- sent indications are that pears and cherry trees in the lower valley will be in bloom well before the end of podiatry M T .

VERBATIM Proposed ‘Union High’ Is Defeated While the projected for- mation of a union high school district, embody- ing seven districts of the lower valley, lost by the narrow margin of four districts to three, the ac- tual standing of the indi- vidual votes gave the pro- ject a majority of 16 in favor. Until late on Friday night, the verdict was in the balance, until it was definitely ascertained that the small district of Viento, which polled but nine votes, had favored the negative, with the re- sult that the proposed union high school dis- trict had been definitely put to sleep for the pre- sent. To the man or woman who did not enter into the heat of the contest, the outcome did not occasion any surprise, for outside of the small groups com- prising the “ayes” and “noes,” there was little ambition for the project — or for any project which necessitates a bond issue. The fact is that, until the orchard business is attended by less of the downs and more of the ups than in recent years, it is not going to be easy to secure a workable majority for any project which neces- sitates a bond issue, espe- cially in the rural dis- tricts. T he four districts which returned a nega- tive verdict were: Pine Grove 126-66, Frankton, 43-26, Viento 7-2 and Bar- rett 83-62. For the union high school district were: Hood River, 256-176, Oak Grove 61-12, Wyeth 13-3. It is conceded that the problem now rever ts back to the board of di- rectors of School District No. 3, which will still have to contend with an ever-increasing number of students to the city high school and lack of accommodation. While there is some talk of ex- cluding the students from certain districts, it is be- lieved that some other means of meeting the sit- uation will be evolved during the time that must elapse before the union high school project is again presented to the voters. — Hood River News, April 10, 1925 APRIL 10, 1975: Looking over plans for a new Hood River Valley Christian Church addition are some of the men who are key figures in bringing it about. From left are Percy Jensen, building chairman; Lorn Magnusen, church board chairman; Dave Burkhart, finance chairman; and Pastor Sam Anderson. this month, with apple blos- som time early in May. Al- ready growers are applying the dormant spray to apple trees in the lower valley. If blossom prospects mean anything, there should be an excellent crop of cher- ries, pears and apples this year. Far from losing interest in the Townsend plan of old-age pensions, or feeling at all discouraged over the situation in Congress re- garding this proposed re- covery measure, citizens of P a rk d a l e o n M o n d ay eve n i n g organized a Townsend Club of their own. Under the leadership of W.M. Richards, some 65 persons signed the member- ship roll and it is expected that within the next two weeks there will be at least 200 members in the Upper Valley. The striking feature of the meeting was that the great majority of those pre- s e n t we re c o n s i d e r ably under the age of 60 years. 1945 — 70 years ago “President Roosevelt is dead,” was the flash which came yesterday afternoon as the News went to press. A few minutes later came the report that Franklin Delano Roosevelt, four times presi- dent of the United States had died in his sleep at War m Springs, Georgia, probably as a result of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Each county is represented with an OEA organization and Witty is president-elect of t h e H o o d R ive r C o u n t y group. He also will head a state-wide workshop for all OEA county presidents and vice-presidents during June in Portland.

The recommendation is to put a plan for developing a four- year high school at Wy’east to a vote first, and if that fails, to call a vote on a new three-year high school plan. A case can be well docu- mented that if the school board follows this plan, it would be breaking faith with the voters. Through all the pre-consolidation cam- paign, every indication promised the county’s goal was to convert Hood River and Wy’east to junior high schools, and to build a new senior high school. Highway 35 is serving as a link between Pine Grove and Hood River this week for the first time since De- cember. Maintenance crews have patched the Whiskey Creek slide area about a m i l e f r o m H o o d R ive r, where a huge section of highway slid out in Decem- ber floods. 1975 — 40 years ago Workmen were already posting corner marks and d i g g i n g t r e n c h e s wh e n William Bright turned the first shovel of earth to mark the start of construc- tion on a new Port industri- al building here Tuesday. Bright is president of West- e r n Powe r P r o d u c t s, builder of the plant. The plant will house a company that manufactures equip- ment for the electric utili- ties industry and is located on land leased from the Port of Hood River north of the city’s new sewage treat- ment plant. “April (snow) showers bring May flowers.” The in- sert has to be included for 1975 considering upper val- ley weather, which still in- cluded snow notations as April began. Weather obser- vation showed it snowed and melted all day Thurs- day last week in the upper valley, and while at mea- surement time there was only a half-inch accumula- tion, the total had been much more. 1985 — 30 years ago Discussions between Mt. Hood Meadows and Mt. Bachelor, Inc., concerning the potential purchase of the Meadows by Bachelor have arrived at an abrupt end this week. In a news re- lease from Mt. Bachelor dated April 3, it was an- nounced that “no negotia- tions will take place regard- ing the purchase of Mt. Hood Meadows due to irrec- oncilable issues.” An offer Your Mortgage Lender Call Bernie today 541-490-0167 Bernie Dittenhofer Licensed Mortgage Banker NMLS #2550 NMLS #114231 ML 832-21 A division of Mann Mortgage, LLC 509 Cascade Ave., Suite F, Hood River Apply at berniedittenhofer.westcorpmortgage.com was never made, according to Clay Simon, vice presi- dent and general partner in Mt.

That’s what the Hood River Inn did Sunday afternoon and the hunt even attracted the one and only Easter bunny. Dozens of kids ages 1-11 got in on the hunt for hundreds of eggs. One young hunter received a huge chocolate bunny for finding the most eggs. 1995 — 20 years ago City of Hood River will move forward to find a new home for its police depart- ment while, at the same time, consider possibly de- veloping a justice center with Hood River County. That recommendation was given by five city counselors attending Monday’s work session. It gives city Budget Officer Steve Everroad au- thority to develop costs for rumination by budget com- mittee members. The exist- ing police site is located in Hood River County’s Court- house, and a bond measure would likely be required to build a justice center. A 30-unit assisting living f a c i l i t y i n H o o d R ive r, awaiting final city approval in the form of a building permit, would fill a gap in local care for senior citi- zens. The application was made by Churchill/Ruff De- velopment, which would do the construction. Assisted Living Concepts Inc. would purchase it from them. The facility, with an estimated cost of over $1 million, would be on the north side of May Avenue directly across from 25th and just east of the old Luhr Jensen building. 2005 — 10 years ago After one of the latest openings in recent memory, two shutdowns and 68 days o f s k i i n g ove r e x p o s e d rocks and around protrud- i n g s t i c k s, c o nv i n c i n g depths of snow has finally come to Mt. Hood Meadows and so now are the skiers. Mt. Hood Meadows has re- ceived 25 inches of new snow since March 27 and the National Weather Ser- vice is predicting more snow through Sunday night. The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs sent a full contingent of officials to h o n o r U. S . Re p. G r e g Walden at a special lun- cheon on Friday in Cascade Locks.
