Dear Abby: My wife and I have been

goes to school where we live. They are 9 and
8.
There’s a lot of tension between us because
my stepson’s father isn’t the greatest parent.
He never comes to school events or sport-
ing events, so he misses half of everything.
I regularly attend my son’s events, which are
a couple of hours away and take time away
from my stepson. I put my 9-year-old fi rst
because he’s my fi rstborn, and I have him
less. My wife disagrees with this, and we fi ght

right thing. Advice, please. — Wondering
Dear Abby: I love my grown children
and grandchildren, but I hate it when they
come “home” for a week or more. My house
gets turned upside down and inside out, and I
end up losing my temper. Then I feel like an
awful mother. I suggested we all meet some-
where else, but it didn’t go over well. Help!

Dear Invaded: Your suggestion may
not have gone over well with your children
and grandchildren, but that doesn’t mean
you shouldn’t “suggest” it again. And when
you do, make sure they understand you are
saying it because when they visit they leave
your home in disarray, which creates more
work for you than you are comfortable doing.
Unless they are willing to make sure your
home is as neat when they leave as when they
arrived, enough is enough.
DAYS GONE BY
From the East Oregonian
100 Years Ago
May 1, 1921
Comedy and thrills were experienced by two deputy sher-
iff s and some innocent bystanders when a raid was conducted
near Freewater last night and Jack Harkness, a farmer, living
six miles west of that place was arrested after the search had
resulted in the discovery of some “moonshine” and a complete
still outfi t for the manufacture of the product. Nothing could
be found in any of the living rooms of the hose, but three trap
doors leading into a dugout under the house were discov-
ered, and when these places were investigated, a complete
still outfi t, about two barrels of mash and other paraphernalia
common to the profession were found. At Freewater, Harkness
got a start on Deputy Sheriff Turner and attempted to make his
getaway. The chase lasted while about 100 yards of distance
were covered by the pair. Turner fi red three times, gained
on Harkness, and fi nally he won the dash when the prisoner
stumbled over a barrel and spilled in a heap.
50 Years Ago
May 1, 1971
Businessmen and other residents of Umatilla rolled up their
sleeves last night and plunged head-fi rst into battle against
a proposed freeway route that will bypass their commu-
nity. The route, for long-sought Interstate 82, was endorsed
a few days ago by the Washington Highway Commission
and comes before the Oregon Highway Commission Tues-
day in Salem. A delegation from Umatilla, armed with peti-
tions that they hope will bear hundreds of signatures, will
be on hand to protest the route. The best route for I-82 is one
that was suggested long ago, Umatilla businessman A.W.
Easton says. It would enter Oregon over the Umatilla Bridge.
Umatilla’s fears of losing tourist traffi c are just one reason
for its opposition.
25 Years Ago
May 1, 1996
Damon Petrie was sentenced — again — to 35 years and
two months in prison for his February 1994 attack on Stan-
fi eld police offi cer Butch Parrish. Umatilla County Circuit
Court Judge Jack Olson delivered a sentence identical to the
original penalty meted out by his counterpart on the court,
Judge Robert Abrams, a year and a half ago, but “with a little
more precision,” said Robert Hill, deputy district attorney for
Umatilla County. Petrie was found guilty of attempted aggra-
vated murder, fi rst-degree assault, fi rst-degree burglary, and a
litany of other theft, escape, and fi rearms charges in connec-
tion with his attack on Parrish.
