Witcomb and Wal- ter W. Shay have purchased the Electric Theater from J.H. Ferguson and took pos- session this week. The the- ater will be closed until Fri- day for extensive repairs and remodeling which are being done under the direction of the new owners. The en- trance will be altered to pro- vide for an arch effect and lobbies. The interior will be painted and calsomined and its appearance rendered more attractive. Carving small reproduc- tions from the Bible from solid stone is one of the ways in which Robert Rand employs his spare mo- ments. He has presented a number of his friends with these unique gifts. The little books are carved from pipe- stone, for which Mr. Rand sent to Minnesota, and are perfect in every detail. Mr. Rand, however, does not presume to emulate Moses and his tablets of stone, as he permits the recipient to inscribe in the books what- ever they may desire. An eight club Columbia Inter-Mountain baseball league was formed here the latter part of last week by interested baseball men of the Mid-Columbia area. The new circuit, a strictly ama- teur organization, compris- es the following teams: Odell, Mt. Hood, Parkdale, Bingen, Hood River Town, Hood River Japanese, Dee and The Dalles. Twelve years is not a long period as time goes, but in 12 years a small tract of land at the mouth of Eagle Creek, which a state official sold to a private individual for $4,000, has increased in value to $80,000. The state highway commission made this discovery when it en- deavored to repurchase the land for Columbia River Highway improvement near the dam at Bonneville. Now it is planning to report to commendation proceedings in the hope that it can shave cost to the taxpayers. 1925 — 90 years ago Following a meeting of representatives of all irri- g ation districts in this county last Saturday, an or- ganization was perfected to fight the appeal lodged with the United States Supreme Court by the Pacific Power & Light Company against the decisions of the district court and state supreme court, which rejected the power company’s claim to 1945 — 70 years ago A county committee to handle the collection of used clothing for the Na- tional Clothing Collection was organized at the cham- ber of commerce of fice Wednesday morning. The purpose of the collection is to secure the maximum quantity possible of good used clothing for free distri- bution to needy and desti- tute men, women and chil- d re n i n w a r- d eva s t a t e d countries. More than 125 million liberated countries APRIL 12, 1995: Jake Williams comes home sliding in the fifth inning Friday as Hood River teammate Nathan Stanton (right) holds up a runner at third base with the ball coming home to Sandy Catcher Mike Malcolm (left). 1955 — 60 years ago The 99-year contract be- tween Hood River County and the Forest Service for federal management of the county forest land was signed last week by Lloyd Olson, Mount Hood National forest supervisor, at the cour- thouse. His signature com- pleted the contract that will be effective through the year 2054. Present for the signing were Mart Perkins, county road supervisor; Commis- sioner George Krieg; Judge John H. Sheldrake; Commis- sioner Arvo Hukari; and Mil- ton Andrews, Hood River dis- trict ranger, Mount Hood Na- tional Forest, Parkdale. Polio vaccinations are slat- ed for 559 first and second grade students in Hood River County starting at 8:45 a.m. Monday, it was announced today by Miss Emma Hanby, public health nurse. The Salk polio vaccine is safe, ef- fective and potent, it was an- nounced Tuesday, and for- mal licensing was made at 4 p.m. on the same day by Sec- retary of Welfare Hobby. Polio serum is expected to be available for inoculation of persons up to 21 years as soon as quotas of the polio foundation are filled. APRIL 15, 1955: Preparations for the mass inoculation of first and second grade students in Hood River County are directed by Miss Emma Hanby, center, public health nurse. She is discussing the scheduling of buses with John L. Sheldrake, school district clerk, and 1965 — 50 years ago her secretary, Myrtle Graff. The first busload is expected to arrive at A canful of coins found by officers in a garage was still the courthouse Monday at 8:45 a.m. the flow of Hood River and its tributaries, based on ri- parian ownership. In its decision, as will be remembered, the Oregon Supreme Court decided in favor of the irrigators, and through the medium of the state water board defined the amount of water which irrigation and power com- panies are to use. It was generally expected the power company would ac- cept the decision of the state Supreme Court, but a few weeks ago a citation was served on all irriga- tionists of this county through the United States Supreme Court and at the i n st a n ce o f t h e Pa ci f i c Power & Light Co. are in dire need of clothing, and of these more than 30 million are children. All clothing must be delivered during April 22 to 30 inclu- sive. A family reunion recent- ly took place aboard a Coast Guard-manned LST laying off Iwo Jima during the in- vasion, when Coast Guard Lieut. (j.g.) Arlo Ordway, and his brother, Malcom E. Ordway, Yoeman 1-c, USNR, both of Hood River, chanced to meet. Malcom was aboard a Navy attack trans- port and saw Lieut. Ord- way’s LST laying of the beach. He took a small boat over to the LST and had a we l c o m e v i s i t w i t h h i s brother. locked up in the Sheriff ’s Of- fice this week waiting its dis- posal. There has been an at- tachment filed on the coins by the owner of the property where the coins were found, and Sheriff R.L. Gilmouthe is still waiting for a ruling on the case. The cache was found when a man who was in jail told police about a can full of coins. The sheriff has learned the coins are not the bonanza collectors had sus- pected when the coins were discovered. Building permits in Hood River during March were just under $300,000, accord- ing to the city records. It was one of the biggest construc- tion months in the city for years. Permits were filed for a telephone company addi- tion, service station, two apartments and a Juncho company addition. 1975 — 40 years ago A cost and study report on constructing a one-way cou- plet through Hood River’s Heights business area drew city council approval Mon- day night. A long-discussed plan includes construction of 13th street between May and Taylor, an area where there is no street now, and im- provements on 13th street several blocks to Belmont. The purpose would be to turn 12th and 13th into a one- way couplet in an area which is now clogged with traffic at busy times. Arrival of Blossom Day will see a “spruced up” val- ley on display, thanks to 260 “litter pickers.” Jerry Week- ly, 1975 local chairman for Stop Oregon Litter and Van- dalism (SOLV), said that was the number of students and service club members who donated their time Saturday morning to pick up roadside litter around valley roads. 1985 — 30 years ago “It may be a Blossom Day without blossoms — at least in the lower valley.” That’s the way Gene Mielke, super- intendent of the Mid-Co- lumbia Experiment Station, summed up the prospects for blossom photographers and viewers planning to visit the Hood River Valley during the annual Blossom Festival, April 27-28. “There may still be some in the upper valley,” he said, “but by the end of the week there won’t be much left near town.” Open for business now at Pacific Avenue and Tucker Road is the new Heidi’s AM/PM convenience store and deli. Heidi’s also oper- at e s a s i m i l a r s t o re i n White Salmon. The store here offers 24-hour service seven days a week. Pre- pared food featured in- cludes chicken, hamburg- ers, hot dogs, pizza, shakes, jojos and more. The store is managed by Kay Sullivan. 1995 — 20 years ago Full Sail Brewing Compa- ny’s new brewery opened with fanfare, and about 500 guests, Friday with a formal ceremony. When it reaches capacity, the former micro- brewery will produce a quar- ter-million barrels of ale an- nually at the expanded facili- ty, located at the old Diamond Cannery site. A public open house will be held from noon-5 p.m. April 22-23 — Hood River Valley Blossom Festival weekend. A planned 20-minute pre- sentation on a hotel concept for the marina area bal- looned fourfold Thursday night, but the audience of about for dozen citizens held their seats. They wanted to learn more about the Hood River Inn’s ideas, and they wanted to have their say — pro or con. The Port of Hood River’s Marina Planning Committee had adjourned its meeting prior to the presen- tation. Committee members stayed to listen, but did not comment on the concept. 2005 — 10 years ago Two Hood River agencies have agreed to change course on waterfront planning to meet the growing need for property to expand the exist- ing business base. On Mon- day, the city council stopped work on the Columbia River Mixed Use Zone, an abrupt end to more than 100 years of public debate and controver- sy. The decision to pull Ordi- nance 1851 followed a request by the port commission that the existing light industrial zoning be retained on water- front lands. The port now wants to design a master plan that uses a parcel-by- parcel approach for develop- ment. It’s hard to tell who has more fun at a Lion’s Follies show: The performers or the audience. At the 29th annual Mid-Columbia Lions Follies, “Phantom of the Opry” (A Grande Ole Show), there is as much fun being had on stage as in the seats. — Compiled by Trisha Walker, news staff writer PET OF THE WEEK VERBATIM Former Wy’east student late Cambodian evacuee Poignant accounts of evacuees from Cambodia were becoming almost common- place as the last days of beleaguered Phnom Penh drew near last week. Yet one picture and by-lined story drew special attention here anyway. A lot of Hood River people recognized the Cambo- dian whose photo and name appeared with Associated Press wire story. AP writer Chhay Born Lay — the author — was a for- eign exchange student at Wy’east High school in 1962. The article tells of his last days in his native Cambodia. A first-person recounting of last-minute preparations to leave the city, a futile at- tempt to board a U.S. helicopter at the American Embassy and finally a dash to a chartered airplane at the Phnom Penh air- port, the story appeared in the Sunday Ore- gonian. It was datelined Saigon, the city Lay escaped to with his wife and two young children. His story of the escape is written in a language Lay learned virtually from the be- ginning after his arrival in this country — he had only two weeks of English before coming to the U.S. “He spoke fluent French,” said Earl Fowler, an assistant principal at Hood River Valley High who taught at Wy’east when Lay was there. “But that didn’t help much when he came to my U.S. History class.” Lay lived with the Teunis Wyers family while attending school at Wy’east. And he didn’t have trouble with the English lan- guage for long. “He learned so rapidly,” Fowler said. Recalling a discussion with Lay about communist threats to his country, Fowler said the Cambodian resident might have hinted at his future. “He understood that being in this country could be detrimen- tal,” said Fowler. Whether he had foreseen his predica- ment or not, Lay found himself in trouble this week. Turned back by Cambodian po- lice guarding U.S. helicopters at the Ameri- can Embassy, he returned to the Associated Press office to stand by for a message about a chartered flight that he and his family could take to safety. After a few moments, he wrote, a phone call came through from George Esper, AP’s bureau chief in Saigon. Esper told Lay to go to the airport and wait for the plane that was already on its way. Arriving at the airport, Lay hid his chil- dren in a sand-bagged bunker near the con- trol tower while he investigated a plane standing on the runway. Before long Dick Blystone, another AP writer, shouted to him, helped him round up his family and led the four to the plane. After regaining his breath in the plane, Lay took time to look to look out the win- dow as the plane climbed away from the airport. He wrote,” I looked out the window at the city and thought: ‘Goodbye, Cambodia.’” — Hood River News, April 17, 1975 Hugs loves cuddles, lap time This week volunteers at Adopt A Dog have selected Hugs as the program’s adopt- able pet of the week: Need a hug? ‘Cuz this little guy is a hugger! Hugs is about 2 years old, 12 pounds, and is a Chihuahua/Pug. He showed up a nervous wreck, afraid to meet new people, but other dogs helped him see we were pretty cool to hang with. And now he just can’t get enough of cuddles and lap time. And he really will hug you! He likes to nuzzle his muzzle in your neck and wrap his little paws around and that makes him feel comfy, cozy! He’s doing very well in his foster home, and is quite the character! He’s playful, and can be silly and sweet and he gets all peppy when it’s playtime and does a little dance in excitement. Hugs is sensitive and gets nervous with too much going on around him, so he’d prefer a calm, quiet home with no small kids. He seems to have an old shoulder injury that doesn’t bother him, but he doesn’t like super long walks, unless he’s being carried; then he’s happy and loves getting fresh air! He’s great off-leash, and stays with the pack, right by your side. If you’d like the perfect hug- gable lap dog who looks at you with those big, sweet, loving eyes, doesn’t need a ton of ex- Hugs ercise, and is housetrained, and you have a calm home, then look no further! He’s cur- rent on shots, microchipped and will be neutered later this week. The adoption fee is $175. The fee to adopt is charged to recoup standard veterinary expenses. Since many of our dogs are in foster, please call ahead to meet Hugs 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 applica- tion online at our website, www.hoodriveradoptadog.org or download and scan and email to us at adopta- dog@gorge.net, or fax it in to 1-877-833-7166.
