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.

DAYS GONE BY
100 Years Ago

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.

Larry Lindsay, Lexington rancher,
was named Morrow County Livestock
Man of the Year for 1967 at the annual

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.

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.

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.
