More than 70 different chil- dren enjoyed it last week and we should be glad to see more. If the little girls will bring a small doll and some scraps of goods, they will be taught something of sewing. We also read to them when it was too warm to play and have a new bas- ket-ball for games. From 2 to 6 every afternoon, except Sunday, a young lady is in charge. 1925 — 90 years ago Mr. Kadderly, of O.A. C., and Mr. Ackerman, official photographer of the U.S. Department of Agriculture at Washington, D.C., were visitors at the Beal Ranch at Parkdale last Monday, tak- i n g p i c t u r e s o f yo u n g Robert Beal and his famous potato patch. They also took notes on his potato club work for the past three years. The fire which broke out last week in the Wind River country, the smoke from which has swept over this section for nearly a week, has already burned over 3,600 acres of splendid tim- ber and has converted into a blackened waste one of the most beautiful, although not most accessible, spots near the Columbia River. 1935 — 80 years ago A thunderstorm, violent in its intensity, brought to a temporary end on Tuesday morning the unusual spell of sizzling heat which had prevailed in the Mid-Colum- bia area for nearly two weeks.

The fire depart- ment was quickly on the scene and, cooperating with other fire fighters, was able to contain the blaze to dry grass and brush and away from timber. Local anglers learned last Sunday that no angling will be permitted in those forest areas which are closed to anyone but those having permits. Anglers who wish to try their luck in the Clear Creek and other areas south of Parkdale, are notified that permits are not being issued to fisher men and hikers, at least during the fire hazard season, and an- Specializing in hernia repairs, appendectomy, gastrointestinal system, skin/soft tissue, diseases of the vascular system and trauma surgery. 1151 May Street Hood River, OR 97031 541-387-8992 www.providence.org /hoodriver S K Y L I N E H O S P I T A L Seth Lambert, D.O.

Miss Rosenback, s p o n s o re d by t h e V F W, Cooties and their auxil- iaries of Cascade Locks, was selected as queen. She will be crowned at the Cas- cade Locks high school tonight at 8 p.m. 1965 — 50 years ago An all-time high in horse show entries for the Hood R ive r C o u n t y Fa i r w a s noted this week by fair su- perintendent Percy Jensen, and the growing popularity of this department has re- sulted in the addition of new bleachers for the horse arena. “The new bleachers we r e c o n s t r u c t e d by Ju c h o, ” Je n s e n n o t e d . “They should increase the seating capacity by around 300.” County Commissioners have authorized purchase of land immediately east of present court house proper- ty, according to action they took in late June. Price in the purchase proposal is $7,000 for the land called the Winans property. County Executive Al Almcrants said the lot is 100 by 170 feet, and has an old house on it. The county now owns one similar lot immediately east of the Sheriff ’s park- ing lot, and the Winans property is immediately to the east of that piece. 1975 — 40 years ago JULY 20, 2005: Alix Melton of Hood River entertained the crowd in front of Waucoma Bookstore between 11:30 p.m. Friday and 12:30 a.m. Saturday at the release party for JK Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” where more than 300 copies of the eagerly-awaited book were sold. most simultaneously with the flash, so close to Hood River as the center of the storm, which descended on the lower valley with star- tling rapidity.

Power crews were dig- ging, blasting and planting poles this week in an effort to restore power to about 500 customers in Mosier. They were re placing 18 cedar poles which fell in the path of a fire that swept 364 acres east of Hood River last weekend. Also continu- ing was an investigation into the cause of the fire, but a human cause was sus- pected because the point of origin was traced to a point near the Old Dalles Road. 1995 — 20 years ago Gates may not be in place yet, but don’t attempt to get near the work at the Mosier Twin Tunnels — it’s a dan- gerous area, said the restoration effort’s project manager. Work began last Monday to reopen the tun- nels on Historic Columbia River Highway east of Hood River. Some of the most dangerous work — workers scaling the cliff to chip away loose rock — started the project, said Tom Gar- ner, Oregon Department of Transportation project manager. The poster for the sev- enth annual Hood River Apple Jam Music Festival was viewed for the first time during a Columbia Gorge Hotel ceremony Fri- day. It was created by Hood River artist Bette Johnson. The posters have become collector’s items. 2005 — 10 years ago Odell firefighters braved the summer heat on Sunday afternoon but were unable to stop an aged storage building from burning to the ground. “I believe there were some definite acceler- ants inside the building to make it burn so hot and fast,” said Fire Chief Greg Borton. Borton said the un- occupied shed was between 70-80 years old.

A movie will be shot h e r e j u s t t h e s a m e, though. That was the world this week, as key people from Lot Productions, an independent movie pro- duction company, set up shop in town. Director Aaron Norris, who is Chuck Nor ris’ brother, said the film will be a PG-rated children’s action adventure motion picture. They will shoot the film at locations in Park- dale, downtown Hood River and Lost Lake. Filming will start in the middle of August, Norris said. Nor ris chose Hood River for the film’s loca- tion because the sur- rounding area was well suited for every aspect of the movie. “We were trying to find an area that suited the film. I started in North Carolina and worked my way across the country,” Norris said. “Nothing fit the bill as good as Hood River.” After spending almost one and a half months in Hood River, Nor ris is glad he chose the loca- tion, he said. “Except for a few prob- lems finding lodging for the cast, everyone has been very pleasant here,” he said. Norris has not signed contracts with actors for any of the leading roles yet. He hopes to have ne- gotiations finished up by the end of the week. “Hopefully, we’ll get s o m e b i g n a m e s, ” h e said. “We’re bringing in some key people from L.A. and from Portland.” Norris also said that he will be hiring as many local people as he can and has already found quite a few people in Hood River to work on the film. The production compa- ny will be in Hood River for a total of four months, which includes the month and a half Norris has al- ready spent here. Norris has filmed movies all over the Unit- ed States and the world, he said. — Hood River News, July 26, 1995
