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.

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.
Follett’s is open Mon-
day through Fridays from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 31019
Follett Lane, Hermiston.
