DAYS GONE BY BEETLE BAILEY GARFIELD BLONDIE DILBERT THE WIZARD OF ID LUANN ZITS BY MORT WALKER BY JIM DAVIS 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Aug. 18, 1917 It rained last night. It wasn’t much of a rain as rains go, but it was the very first shower of any kind or description that has fallen in Pendleton since June 29, a period of 49 days. The rain, a thunder shower, occurred between 11 and 12 last night. Clouds had blown up during the evening and lightning flashes and thunder rolls had indicated a storm. The rain fell heavily but was over in a few moments, hardly more than laying the dust. However, it proved very refreshing for those who were out that late. With the rain that fell last night, there has been but .09 of an inch during the past 70 days and this is probably the longest drought on record in these parts. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Aug. 18, 1967 A Pendleton man was the victim of a brutal attack with a “sharp-edged” weapon early today. He is Dennis Lyle Holmes, 21. He is in critical condition in Pendleton Community Hospital. Holmes was found about 6:30 a.m. BY DEAN YOUNG AND STAN DRAKE BY SCOTT ADAMS BY BRANT PARKER AND JOHNNY HART BY GREG EVANS BY JERRY SCOTT AND JIM BORGMAN in a ditch along Highway 395 at milepost 3 south of Pendleton, state police said. City police and the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office are joining in the investigation. The attack apparently occurred in a parking lot next door to a church at 614 SW Second. Blood and hair spotted the dirt parking lot. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Aug. 18, 1992 Pendleton and Milton-Freewater growers produce some 250 rabbits for markets every week and say rabbit meat is one of the most versatile foods in the world today. Roy Timm, plus Oman and Jayne Wilcox of Pendleton, and Ross and Mary Scovill of Milton-Freewater raise rabbits for meat, which is available weekly at Big Apple Food Warehouse in Pendleton and Milton-Free- water; Shop’n Kart in Hermiston; and The Farmers Market in Milton-Freewater. Timm, the Wilcoxes and the Scovills all are members of the Rabbit Co-Op of the Great Northwest, a 29-member group based in Okanogan, Wash., that promotes rabbit as an alternative meat source. THIS DAY IN HISTORY Today is the 230th day of 2017. There are 135 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 18, 1587, Virginia Dare became the first child of English parents to be born in present-day America, on what is now Roanoke Island in North Carolina. (However, the Roanoke colony ended up mysteriously disappearing.) On this date: In 1838, the first marine expedition sponsored by the U.S. government set sail from Hampton Roads, Virginia; the crews traveled the southern Pacific Ocean, gathering scientific information. In 1846, during the Mexi- can-American War, U.S. forces led by Gen. Stephen W. Kearny occupied Santa Fe in present-day New Mexico. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issued his Proclamation of Neutrality, aimed at keeping the United States out of World War I. In 1920, the 19th Amend- ment to the Constitution, guaranteeing all American women’s right to vote, was ratified as Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it. In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King dedicated the Thousand Islands Bridge connecting the United States and Canada. In 1954, during the Eisen- hower administration, Assis- tant Secretary of Labor James Ernest Wilkins became the first black official to attend a meeting of the president’s Cabinet as he sat in for Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell. In 1963, James Meredith became the first black student to graduate from the Univer- sity of Mississippi. In 1969, the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in Bethel, New York, wound to a close after three nights with a mid-morning set by Jimi Hendrix. In 1976, two U.S. Army officers were killed in Korea’s demilitarized zone as a group of North Korean soldiers wielding axes and metal pikes attacked U.S. and South Korean soldiers.
