COFFEE BREAK Saturday, October 28, 2017 East Oregonian Page 5C OUT OF THE VAULT Money tiff creates literal rift A man angry about money he felt he was owed in October of 1984 made his point in a rather destructive way. Calvin Sullivan, a 37-year-old Spokane resident, and Helen Blanchard of Pendleton argued over money on Oct. 29, 1984. According to Lt. Ed Taber of the Pendleton Police Department, Sullivan paid Blanchard some money earlier in the day but returned in the evening asking for the money back. Blanchard called police after she refused to return the money, and Sullivan refused to leave the premises. She reported that a man was trying to enter her home at 8 S.W. Goodwin Ave., and then the police dispatcher heard a loud crash. The line went dead. When Blanchard refused to return his money, Sullivan had jumped into his Chevy Blazer, revved the engine and drove onto the front porch, crashing into the front door. He then backed up and took another run at it, breaking through the front wall of the house. No one was injured, but parts of the front wall collapsed. Sullivan’s Blazer received minor dings. He drove away and was picked up by police later in the evening as he drove through downtown Pendleton. Sullivan was charged with first- degree criminal mischief, driving under the influence of intoxicants and reckless endangerment. ■ Renee Struthers is the Community Records Editor for the East Oregonian.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I wake up at 5 a.m., so I make sure he’s awake before I leave at 5:30. However, on Tuesdays and Thursdays — or any day that I don’t get up to wake him — he’s late for work or school. I have tried telling him that I won’t wake him up and he needs to be respon- sible for himself because I don’t want to get up every morning at 5. This hasn’t worked.

Until he suffers the consequences for his chronic tardiness, nothing will change, and he will continue to place the burden of dragging him out of bed squarely on your shoulders. DAYS GONE BY 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 28-29, 1917 William Dolfen, the chief cook of the Third Oregon, who was taken off the troop train here early Saturday morning charged with being a German spy, is charged specifically among other things with having sold plans of Fort Rosencranz, San Diego, to a representative of the German govern- ment, with having been in the employ of German agents ever since his enlistment two years ago, with having made seditious utterances, with having stolen American uniforms and turned them over to German agents and with being a loyal and legal subject of the kaiser. According to Deputy U.S. Attorney Rankin, the proof of Dolfen’s disloyalty and treachery is positive. It is given out that he will probably be interned for the period of the war, though Mr. Rankin admits that the extreme penalty of his acts is death. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 28-29, 1967 Larry Lindsay, Lexington rancher, was named Morrow County Livestock Man of the Year for 1967 at the annual farm-city banquet at Heppner High School Wednesday. Lindsay was chosen by Morrow County Livestock Growers. He is president of the growers for the second time this year, is secretary of Morrow County Grain Growers, member of Morrow County Port Commission, and is co-chairman of the taxation and legislation committee of Oregon Cattlemen’s Association. Announcement of his choice and presentation of his trophy were made by Ned Clark, county cattleman for 1966. 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian Oct. 28-29, 1992 The Hermiston High School marching band has earned its highest accolade ever — an invitation to the 1994 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena. For marching bands, “It’s the most prestigious event in the United States to be invited to,” band director Mark Lane said. The invitation comes more than a year in advance to give bands time to prepare, Lane said. “The kids will have to march for 5 1/2 miles and play almost continuously for more than two hours,” Lane said. “Endurance becomes a major factor.” Two years ago Hermiston was a runner-up in the appli- cations process. A call came earlier this fall from Pasadena, asking why Herm- iston hadn’t reapplied and encouraging the band to do so. THIS DAY IN HISTORY Today is the 301st day of 2017. There are 64 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 28, 1726, the original edition of “Gulliver’s Travels,” a satirical novel by Jonathan Swift, was first published in London. On this date: In 1636, the General Court of Massachusetts passed a legislative act establishing Harvard College. In 1776, the Battle of White Plains was fought during the Revolutionary War, resulting in a limited British victory. In 1886, the Statue of Liberty, a gift from the people of France, was dedicated in New York Harbor by Presi- dent Grover Cleveland. In 1914, Yugoslav nation- alist Gavrilo Princip, whose assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, sparked World War I, was sentenced in Sarajevo to 20 years’ impris- onment. (He died in 1918.) In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt rededicated the Statue of Liberty on its 50th anniversary. In 1940, Italy invaded Greece during World War II. In 1958, the Roman Catholic patriarch of Venice, Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, was elected Pope; he took the name John XXIII. The Samuel Beckett play “Krapp’s Last Tape” premiered in London. In 1962, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev informed the United States that he had ordered the dismantling of missile bases in Cuba; in return, the U.S. secretly agreed to remove nuclear missiles from U.S. installa- tions in Turkey. In 1965, Pope Paul VI issued a Declaration on the Relation of the Church with Non-Christian Religions which, among other things, absolved Jews of collective guilt for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. In 1976, former Nixon aide John D. Ehrlichman entered a federal prison camp in Safford, Arizona, to begin serving his sentence for Watergate-related convictions (he was released in April 1978). In 1980, President Jimmy Carter and Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan faced off in a nation- ally broadcast, 90-minute debate in Cleveland. In 1991, what became known as “The Perfect Storm” began forming hundreds of miles east of Nova Scotia; lost at sea during the storm were the six crew members of the Andrea Gail, a swordfishing boat from Gloucester, Massa- chusetts. Ten years ago: Stacy Peterson, the 23-year-old fourth wife of police sergeant Drew Peterson, went missing in suburban Chicago. (Her fate has never been deter- mined; Drew Peterson was convicted in Sept. 2012 of murdering his third wife, Kathleen Savio.) Fire ravaged a North Carolina beach house, killing seven college students. Argentina’s first lady, Cristina Fernandez, claimed victory in the country’s presidential election; she became the first woman elected to the post. The Boston Red Sox swept to their second World Series title in four years with a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies in Game 4. Country star Porter Wagoner, 80, died in Nashville. Five years ago: Airlines canceled more than 7,000 flights in advance of Hurri- cane Sandy, transit systems in New York, Philadelphia and Washington were shut down, and forecasters warned the New York area could see an 11-foot wall of water. President Barrack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney altered their campaign travel plans because of the approaching superstorm. The San Francisco Giants won their second World Series title in three years, beating the Detroit Tigers 4-3 in 10 innings to complete a four- game sweep. One year ago: The FBI dropped what amounted to a political bomb on the Clinton campaign when it announced it was investigating whether emails on a device belonging to disgraced ex-congressman Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of one of Clinton’s closest aides, Huma Abedin, might contain classi- fied information.

Thought for Today: “I prefer liberty with danger than peace with slavery.” — Jean- Jacques Rousseau, Swiss- born French philosopher (1712-1778). ODDS & ENDS Girl goes on mission to find owner of $2 PEQUANNOCK, N.J. (AP) — A young girl in New Jersey who hoped to return two dollar bills she found on a sidewalk to their rightful owner will use the money to donate a box of Girl Scout nuts to the military. Isabella King found the money on a sidewalk in Pequannock on Wednesday and her mother, Alyssa, told the Daily Record that Isabella insisted on bringing the money to the police. Pequannock police Capt. Christopher DePuyt said that police politely declined to take it since there was no way to prove ownership of such a small amount. “Obviously, this young lady has outstanding parents,” DePuyt said. “Her honesty and integrity should be an inspiration to everyone.” Isabella, 10, said that she didn’t feel right keeping the money because whoever lost it might need it more than she does. “I know it was only $2, but I still wanted to do the right thing and be honest,” she said. Alyssa King said that no one came forward to claim the money so they will donate a box of Girl Scout nuts to the military. Absent-minded shopper takes cart with baby, causing lockdown PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Police say an absent-minded shopper at a Maine grocery store took somebody else’s cart with a sleeping baby inside, causing a lockdown and a police investigation. Portland police say the shopper was mortified when he realized his mistake but didn’t bother to alert anyone on Friday. Instead, the shopper left the cart in another part of the store and retrieved his own cart. Police say store video backs up his claim. Police Chief Michael Sauschuck says grocery store staff quickly locked down the store. Police determined the conduct didn’t warrant criminal charges. The baby was restrained in a car seat and slept through the entire scare. • Homes • Farms • Commercial • Build to Suit For listings, visit www.universalrealtyhermiston.com Serving the world of Real Estate since 1964 541-567-8303 • 1-800-282-9075 541-567-0272 2150 N.
