Duckwall, Al Groff Company roads get new names in 1955 1915 — 100 years ago Meetings have been held at both Odell and Pine Grove during the past week to con- sider the proposition of es- tablishing a high school at Odell. This has met with strong favor and indications are that the school may be es- tablished before another school year. It is proposed to combine the districts of Odell, Valley Crest, Fir and part of the Pine Grove for high school purposes. 1925 — 90 years ago Frank Moore, who dis- penses eats and drinks at the Hood River Drug Co. in town and lives on Avalon Way, thought the enemy had arrived when, early Sunday morning, he was awakened by a t e r r i f i c e x p l o s i o n which shook the house. An investigation revealed that the big pressure tank of an automatic water system had blown up, tore its way from the basement thought rafters, and through the floor of the dining room. It is stated that the cause of the explosion was the fail- ure of the automatic cut-out to work, which permitted the air pressure to increase until the tank could no longer stand the strain. While the Columbia River at the end of last week stood 30 feet above low water mark, it is a long way below what are regarded as years of really high water. T he highest water ever known is 54 feet, recorded in 1894, when the flood water was level with the railroad tracks. That year the river rose one foot a day until the day when the peak was re gistered, when it made a rise of four feet. 1935 — 80 years ago Rumors that efforts would be made by a union delega- tion from Portland to close the Oregon Lumber Compa- ny’s mill and box plant at Dee, which has been circulat- ing over several days, materi- alized early Tuesday when, bright and early, four men who admitted they were union delegates, arrived in Hood River and, after eating breakfast, left for the mill at Dee, with the announcement that, when they returned to MAY 31, 1995: SERVICE DISTRACTION — While Cub Scouts (from left) Alex Lozowski, Johnathan Gilmore, Matthew Rambo, Ryan Flory and Erik Hidle stand at attention during the playing of “Taps” at Monday’s Memorial Day observance at Idlewilde Cemetery, something catches Gilmore’s attention. A pair of F-15 Eagle jet fighters fly over the ceremony; they can be seen here directly over Flory’s head. The Cub Scouts from troops 382 and 378 were part of a large crowd that attended Monday’s morn- ing ceremony. moved to a permanent loca- tion as soon as possible, but for the summer months, Park Street School will be used. The Parkdale and Odell communities will also have child care centers set up. Mothers interested in this program are urged to leave their names with Mrs. Ralph H. Jones, 613 Oak Street, as soon as possible. 1955 — 60 years ago Two county roads recently were renamed by the county court. Duckwall Road is now Wy’east Drive and is the county road between the state highway boarding the F.L. Moe property south of Tucker’s bridge to Duke’s Valley Road. It is routed by Wy’east High School. The second road formerly was the Al Groff Company Road and is now the Roy Webster Road. It extends from Deth- man Ridge Road to Ehrch Road. T he names were changed on May 11 and May 18. It’s knuckles-down for top- ranking marble shooters in Hood River. Four boys repre- sented the local area Satur- day at the state marble tour- nament at Jantzen Beach Park.

But the day was warm and calm as the community paid its memorial tribute. Two pa- rades, a main address, and decorating a monument at Idlewilde cemetery drew more than 200 persons to par- ticipate during the morning observance. A $37,000 community block grant from the Depart- ment of Housing and Urban Development was made Tuesday to the city of Cas- cade Locks. The grant will be used for construction of sewer line, sidewalks, gut- ters and curbs in the city. In addition to these municipal improvements, the funds will be used in concluding Cascade Locks’ urban renew- al project. 1985 — 30 years ago About 10 young people from Hood River (they hope there will be more) will form a “first of a kind” delegation this year to visit sister city Tsuruta, Japan. The tenta- tive plan is to travel to Tokyo, de par ting for Tsur uta aboard the world famous bul- let train. In Tsuruta, the stu- dents will be guests in homes throughout their week-long stay, returning to Tokyo on the bullet train at the close of their visit. When Greg Moser and the Memphis Showboats came to Portland to take on the Breakers in USFL pro foot- ball action Saturday, it was more than a game for the former Hood River Valley High wide receiver and his followers. It was a double loss. Not only did Portland upset the Breakers 17-14, but Moser snared only two passes — one on a two-point conversion — and one nulli- fied by the USFL’s new red flag appeal. A nice catch by Moser was nullified when refs said he didn’t have con- trol of the ball before going out of bounds. Moser did give the Hood River follow- ing a few cheers, though, de- spite the loss. MAY 29, 1985: Doris Greenough, costumer of the 1985 Lions Follies, is the fourth recipient of the Producer’s Award, presented here by pro- ducer Pete Benjamin. The producer and director Bev Cron decided Greenough was the person who had done the most to contribute to the success of the show. About 30 new costumes added color to the 1995 — 20 years ago As promised, two-way production, in spite of the late start the Follies got this year. traffic retur ns to down- town’s Second Street over- To Have Medical Services Advertised in this Directory, please call Kirsten Lane at the Hood River News at 541-386-1234 Hood River, the majority of the workers at the mill would be organized, and mill offi- cials would accept their terms or the men would be in strike. The Judiciary committee of the city council is now de- liberating on an ordinance which will bar double park- ing of cars and trucks in the downtown area. It is stated, that double parking on Oak Street, especially during tourist season, is a real haz- ard in the business sections of town. 1945 — 70 years ago There was a general re- gret in Hood River Friday morning of last week when it was learned that Truman Butler, for many years a leader in this community, had died suddenly while he was resting at Nelscott, at the age of 73. He played a leading part in civic and other prog ressive move- ments in the Hood River area and his work for the benefit of this community will ever be associated with its growth.

He and David Feinauer won ball mitts for winning Classes A and B in Hood River last week, and Tommy Kimbell and James Shroyer, were runner-up- pers. The Hood River marble tourney was co-sponsored by the Lions Club and VFW. 1965 — 50 years ago Mosier Library will start its summer hours next Thursday, June 3. The li- brary will be open 2-3 p.m. on Monday and Thursday after- noons, and from 7-8 p.m. Thursday evenings. It will not be open Monday, May 31, a holiday. Barret-Oak Grove News by Jane F ranz: Spring has sprung and left its mark. “Jasper” had kittens last week. This was a shock to him as well as us. We had to talk loud and long explaining his motherly duties. As if that wasn’t enough — a faith- ful banty hen has flipped her cork and is now crowing at the drop of an acorn! Believe me, things are mixed up around here! 1975 — 40 years ago Old and young and those of ages between all played a role in Hood River County’s annual Memorial Day obser- vance this year. Weather was pass this Friday — the first day of the Memorial Day holiday weekend. When the $8 million Oregon Depart- ment of Transpor tation renovation project began, that agency pledged two lanes of traffic would be re- stored for the summer tourist season. Just a south- bound route has been open the past four months. This week, a state official and project contractor Weaver Construction said the dead- line would be met. It will be a tight fit, though. Hood River County resi- dents hungry for a Whopper won’t be able to pick one up here, the Hood River Plan- ning Commission r uled Tuesday. In a narrow 4-3 de- cision, the commission re- jected Cascadia Develop- ment Company’s plan for the fast food restaurant pro- posed for light industrial property adjacent to the Port of Hood River’s indus- trial area. 2005 — 10 years ago T h e S u s a n G. Ko m e n Breast Cancer Foundation Affiliate of Oregon and SW Wa s h i n g t o n a n n o u n c e d Monday that Nuestra Co- munidad Sana (The Next Door, Inc.) in Hood River has been awarded a $38,000 Komen Community grant. The medical center’s chal- lenge is to advance the local fight against breast cancer remains as great today as ever, and it will use the grant to reach out to Lati- nas in the areas in their homes and places of work and worship to teach that breast cancer can be sur- vived if detected in time. T h e Po r t o f C a s c a d e Locks threw a party on Thursday to show off its newly remodeled communi- ty center. Invited guests ar- rived at the Gorge Pavilion to enjoy the festivities, which included gour met food, spirits and live music from Retta Christie and the Jazz Trio. They also came to admire the elegant look of the 3,000 square foot circu- lar structure in Port Ma- rine Park. — Compiled by Trisha Walker, news staff writer VERBATIM Parkdale Safe Blown, Looted For the third time with- in the year, yeggs made an- other, and this time, suc- cessful attempt to blow the big safe at the McIsaac store and post office at Parkdale. Early Wednes- day morning, with a roar which awakened a num- ber of people the safe was blown with such force that part of it was shot through the store front into the street. Before anyone got around, however, the yeggs decamped and a checkup made on Wednes- day shows that about $1300 in cash and stamps had been taken. Throughout the day Sheriff Edick and his men kept the wires hot trying to locate a Chevro- let Car, which had been seen in Parkdale at a late hour on Tuesday night. According to officers, a very heavy charge was used on the safe, which was of the latest, burglar- proof type. Three attempts have been made to blow safes in the McIsaac store with- in the past 12 months. Last year, around straw- berry time, yeggs tried to blow the safe, but apart from doing considerable damage in the store, were not successful. Later in the same year, another at- tempt resulted in the big doors being shattered, but the inner door defied the efforts of the yeggs, who got away with goods from the store but no money. Mr. McIsaacs then in- stalled a heavy burglar proof safe of the most modern type and believed no further efforts would be made. The entire loss is fully covered by burglar insur- ance. Mr. McIsaacs left last Saturday for Louisville, Kentucky, on Association business, and was expect- ed to arrive in Chicago Wednesday morning. — Hood River News, May 29, 1925
