Was there an autopsy? People have been known to suffer strokes or massive heart attacks that can take them suddenly, and if Martin was on the stairs, some- thing like that could have caused his fall rather than the fact he had alcohol in his system. A way to move past your anger and disappointment would be to look further into what happened if that’s possible, and if his cause of death is what you suspect, forgive him. Hang- ing onto anger and bitterness is not healthy for you. DAYS GONE BY 100 Years Ago From the East Oregonian March 7, 1920 Pupils of the Umapine high school and women of Uma- pine attended the clothing school given in Umapine Thurs- day, Friday and Saturday by Miss Jessie Biles of the cloth- ing department at O.A.C. and Miss Ella May Harmon, county demonstration agent. Those who attended the school brought their materials and were assisted in planning cloth- ing for women and children. Miss Harmon and Miss Biles are in Umatilla today conducting a school and will conduct similar ones in various parts of the county in the near future. 50 Years Ago From the East Oregonian March 7, 1970 The Port of Umatilla Commission turned down a pro- posal Monday that the port take over the Pendleton Munic- ipal Airport. Although a formal offer was not before the commission, preliminary information from the City of Pendleton was sent to port and city officials. Commissioner Norman Schroth declared that since the airport is located more than 30 miles away from the port office in McNary, he doesn’t feel the commission can handle the operation. Com- mission President Hadley Akins said the city is looking for a broader tax base to support the airport. Commissioner Dal- las Dusenbery suggested a county-city supported airport facility. “If it is a broader tax base they want, it would be better with the county and its equipment and offices already there.” 25 Years Ago From the East Oregonian March 7, 1995 Anita Booth uses her dining room table as a study desk and turns out term papers with a child in her lap. Despite these challenges, the Pendleton mother of six has earned good grades while going to school full time at Blue Moun- tain Community College. Booth, 41, was recently named a 1995 Oregon Community College Scholar. Her 3-year- old daughter, Tanill, often sits in her lap as she pounds out papers on her computer. One day her daughter kicked the electrical cord from the computer, erasing several para- graphs worth of work. But Booth, who also helps run her husband’s in-home art business, takes such calamities in stride. She’s more focused on the future, which begins next term at Eastern Oregon State College in La Grande. Booth intends to earn her bachelor’s degree and likely a master’s as well in order to become a school psychologist or college counselor. THIS DAY IN HISTORY On March 7, 1965, a march by civil rights dem- onstrators was violently bro- ken up at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, by state troopers and a sher- iff’s posse in what came to be known as “Bloody Sunday.” In 1793, during the French Revolutionary Wars, France declared war on Spain.

Thought for Today: “In a democracy dissent is an act of faith. Like medicine, the test of its value is not in its taste, but in its effects.” — J. William Fulbright, U.S. senator (1905-1995).
