Hermiston library displays former ire chief’s photography
By JADE McDOWELL
Staff Writer
After trading his ire
chief’s uniform for Hawai-
ian shirts in May 2014, Pat
Hart hasn’t slowed down
much.
“Retirement’s great, but
I’m still pretty busy,” he
said.
The former Hermiston
Fire & Emergency Services
chief was at the Hermiston
Public Library on Thurs-
day, answering questions
about his photography on
display there through the
end of the month.
Hart’s passion is land-
scape photography. His
computer currently has
46,000 pictures on it, he
said, and while quite a few
are personal snapshots of
his four grandchildren,
thousands more feature
wheat ields, trees, water-
falls and lighthouses.
“I’ve got pictures from
all over the country, from
the East Coast to the West
Coast,” Hart said.
He said the beauty of
digital photography is that
he can take 20 shots of an
interesting tree to get just
the right angle, but the
downside is he’s not always
very good about deleting
Hart participates in the
the excess shots.

Libraries offer KEVA Planks
HERMISTON HERALD
Wooden planks designed for
stacking and layering in endless
formations are available at all 12
libraries in Umatilla County.
KEVA Planks — Knowledge,
Exploration, Visual, Arts — of-
fer opportunities of simple play
for young children and complex
towering structures by students
and adults. Without using glue
or connectors, just gravity and
imagination, the sets were ob-
tained through the Libraries of
Eastern Oregon. They were pur-
chased with grant funds provided
by the Wildhorse Foundation and
the Community Outreach Com-
mittee of Cayuse Technologies.
According to a press release
from the Umatilla County Spe-
cial Library District, KEVA
Planks transform libraries into
engaging and interactive com-
munity learning places. The
planks serve as a gateway to
math, science and physics, and
can be used by any age. They
provide an innovative approach
to connect and energize young
persons and encourage interest
in science, math, and open-rea-
soning.
The mission of Libraries of
Eastern Oregon is to create and
deliver 21st century public li-
brary services for 50 libraries in
Eastern Oregon. It brings com-
munity programs to rural com-
munities and assists libraries
with internal needs such as da-
tabase services, collection devel-
opment and infrastructure.
For more information, stop by
a local library or contact Dan Feil
at 541-276-6449 or dan@ucsld.
org. For more about the planks,
visit www.kevaplanks.com.
www.hartphoto.shutterfly.
com or he can be reached at
541-571-3062 or hartpho-
to@machmedia.net.
When Hart isn’t busy
taking photos, traveling
or spending time with his
grandchildren in Olympia
and Virginia, he has been
working on writing Mor-
row County’s emergency
management plan, after do-
ing Umatilla County’s last
year.
He said he has also been
helping Umatilla Fire Dis-
trict 1. He does miscella-
neous projects, including
some IT work with the
phones and computers, and
helped campaign for the
ballot measure combining
Hermiston and Stanield’s
ire districts this year.
When he retired he talk-
ed with current ire Chief
Scott Stanton about possi-
bly shooting some photos
of ires that the district was
ighting, but so far he is
enjoying not being on call
and so has left that to the
department’s current em-
ployees.
“When I handed my
badge over to Scott I turned
my pager off and I haven’t
turned it on since,” he said.
