OUT OF THE VAULT
McNary Dam troubled
by determined beaver
T
he U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers were
scratching their heads
in the spring of 1957 after a
beaver, just doing what comes
naturally, attempted to plug
up the dam’s navigation locks.
Joe the Beaver became a
celebrity with his attempts to
shore up the “leaky” side of
the hydroelectric dam near
Umatilla on the Columbia
River. But lock attendants
foiled the resolute rodent’s
activities with a series of
hydraulic tests in the locks
that destroyed his work and,
after the Inland Navigation
Company’s tug “Chief”
cleared the downstream lock
with its barge tow on April
15, 1957, Joe threw in the
towel and followed the tug
downstream in search of a
more amenable abode.
A rather dejected beaver
returned to McNary Dam
on April 25 and resumed
residence in his little pool,
seemingly tolerant of the
trickles that escaped past the
guard wall as the navigation
locks were put through their
paces. With the spillway
gates closed and the full force
of the river routed through
the power turbines, Joe was
able to bask in the sun and
contemplate another attempt
at building his dream pond.
But impending spring runoff
and the possibility of opening
of the spillway gates had
Corps employees keeping a
weather eye on Joe for any
resurgence in lock-blocking
activity.

Teen’s quest for
nuggets gets huge
Twitter support
RENO, Nev. (AP) — A
teen’s Twitter stunt to win
a year of free chicken
nuggets from Wendy’s might
become the platform’s most
retweeted post of all time.
Carter Wilkinson asked
the fast food chain on
Twitter last week how many
retweets it would take for
him to get free nuggets for
a year. Wendy’s replied, “18
million.” The 16-year-old
from Nevada took up
the challenge, writing:
“Consider it done.”
Wilkinson’s screenshot of
the exchange has since been
retweeted nearly 2.5 million
times and is getting closer to
the all-time retweet mark of
nearly 3.3 million, held by
Ellen DeGeneres’ viral tweet
from the 2014 Oscars.

EAST PALESTINE,
Ohio (AP) — A craving for
a McDonald’s cheeseburger
apparently prompted an
8-year-old Ohio boy to take
his 4-year-old sister for a
ride in his dad’s van, which
he learned to drive on the
internet.
East Palestine police
Officer Jacob Koehler tells
WJW-TV in Cleveland the
father went to bed Sunday
and the mother fell asleep on
the couch with the kids.
Koehler says witnesses
saw the boy driving and
called police in the city,
about 90 miles southeast
of Cleveland. He says the
boy drove about a mile
to the restaurant, through
intersections and over railroad
tracks, without mishap.
Witnesses say the boy
appeared to obey traffic laws.
Koehler says the boy told
him he learned to drive by
watching YouTube videos.
No charges have been filed.
the 2-cent check from the
U.S. Treasury Department a
couple of days ago and has
been carrying it around and
showing friends ever since.
He’s not sure why he got
the check and doesn’t plan
on asking.
The 79-year-old Air Force
veteran and Lynn Water and
Sewer Commission retiree
had already received his
income tax refund and his
monthly pension.
He’s not going to cash the
check. He has already visited
a store to have a custom
frame made. The cost? More
than $82.

Previously an interchange had
been slated at the Yoakum
crossing but none at Rew
Elevator. It meant a minimum
of five miles additional travel
for each truckload of grain to
and from the elevator, which
serves a large number of
farmers west of Pendleton.

Convicted
murderer
Stanley Bernson should soon
be back behind bars in the
Umatilla County jail — his
home for three years from
1986 to 1989. Benson, 55, still
stands accused in the murder
of Sharon Weber, a Umatilla
teenager who disappeared 14
years ago. Benson currently
is serving a life sentence at
the Washington State Peni-
tentiary in Walla Walla for the
1979 murder of a Richland,
Wash., woman. Authorities
suspect Bernson — who
claims among other things to
have been big game hunter
and a chum of Ted Bundy, a
serial killer executed for the
murder of a Florida girl — in
the deaths of as many as 30
Northwest women.

An access problem faced
by wheat farmers along

solved Friday when the State

the federal Bureau of Public
Roads agreed to place full
interchanges at both Rew
Elevator and the Yoakum

Judge D.R. (Sam) Cook said
in a phone call from Portland
that resistance to area demands

melted. “This meets all our
