A6 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM LETTER TO THE EDITOR Vote yes for Hermiston bond I am writing in favor of the current Hermiston school bond. All three of my chil- dren attended Hermiston schools through early 2000 and graduated from Herm- iston High. The district has only continued to grow by leaps and bounds since their graduation. Two schools my children attended have been torn down and rebuilt, which was desperately needed. I remember them being sent home one day from the old West Park building because the heating system was not working. The old Armand Larive was an interesting structure also and they all attended class in modular classrooms even back then. Unfortunately, in today’s world, using modular class- rooms has become unsafe and puts the students and teachers in those buildings at more risk. Currently there are 34 modular classrooms in use across our elementary campuses. At our district’s rate of growth, it is antici- pated that 56 modular class- rooms could be needed by 2023. The district is literally busting at the seams. When thinking how to vote on this bond, consider the future and safety of this community and our children. We want to pro- vide enough safe space to be a good learning environment and promote giving back to the community like so many graduates have. This community has been so supportive of growth in the schools in the past and I hope that continues with this bond. Please vote yes on the upcoming school bond. Vicki Horneck Irrigon WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 2017 COMMUNITY Follett’s brings home the bacon Hermiston Herald Follett’s Meat Com- pany of Hermiston came home with a major win from the 2017 North- west Meat Processors Association Convention and Trade Show. Owner Justin Fol- lett and manager Travis Calhoun were thrilled in receiving grand champi- on in the bacon category with their fine pepper bacon. The pair were on hand to receive the award during the con- vention, held March 23-25 at Ocean Shores, Washington. The award, Cal- houn said, comes on the heels for the com- pany’s jalepeño cheese summer sausage, which garnered reserve cham- pion in 2016. Calhoun also tipped his hat to Jose Martinez and Luis Duarte, who work as meat cutters and trim- mers. “It was a team effort with the Follett’s team working side-by-side to achieve great meat and accomplishments at the convention,” Calhoun said. Family-owned and op- erated since 1921, Fol- lett’s Meat Company is based in Hermiston. It provides custom meat processing for beef, pork, lamb and wild game that offers both stationary and mobile slaughter.
