A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 2017 COMMUNITY HERMISTON HISTORY THREE MINUTES WITH ... New depot commander welcomed 25 YEARS AGO JULY 14, 1992 • Hermiston Chamber of Commerce recently completed a membership drive and gained 76 new members. Membership now stands at 315 mem- bers. The great thing about this drive was the fact the new and existing members got a education on what the chamber is and what they do. • Community Pride was shown downtown on Saturday. From the kind words of visiting digni- taries to the proud com- ments of local residents. Downtown Hermiston re- ceived rave reviews at the re-dedication ceremonies last Saturday. Hundreds upon hundreds of people turned out for the day- long festivities that start- ed with the ribbon cutting ceremony at Second and Main Streets. Through the cooperation of Main Street Merchants, the city of Hermiston and the state highway division, what was once a dream has become a reality. Cracks, hole and flak- ing asphalt have been replaced by a new street. The street is lined with new sidewalks that are wider, safer and more attractive and includes ramps for handicapped customers and employ- ees. Trees, shrubs and spruced up buildings make downtown an at- tractive focal point once again. One re-dedication speaker pointed out that as the downtown areas of other communities are allowed to decay, down- town Hermiston has new life. As home for the cen- ter of city government, key retail and service businesses, a junior high school, the city’s library STEVEN CIMMIYOTTI Owner, Scott’s Cycle and Sports HERALD ARCHIVE Joe Burns of Hermiston Development Corporation (right) shakes hands with the Col. William Whelan, the new commanding officer for the Umatilla Army Depot 50 years ago in 1967. and a place for hundreds of local residents to work downtown Hermiston is once again a pleasant place to be. 50 YEARS AGO JULY 13, 1967 • Col. William J. Whel- an, 45, new commanding officer of the Umatilla Army Depot, arrived to town last Wednesday and immediately took com- mand of the installation. His wife, Gertrude, and son and daughter accom- panied him. An Ohioan, Col. Whelan becomes the 13th commander of the UAD since its founding in 1941. His 25-year ca- reer as an Army Ordnance Corps officer has taken him to many parts of the world. Colonel and Mrs. Whelan expressed them- selves as enthusiastic with the new assignment, noting that they had been in the Pacific Northwest previously at Fort Lewis, Washington, in 1964-65. • Freddie’s Beauty Sa- lon opened for business Tuesday, July 11, at the new location on East Sec- ond Street, in the Coast to Coast annex building south of the US National Bank. The Salon’s previ- ous location was in the Eastside Grocery build- ing at 512 E. Main St. The new home of the salon has an interior decoration done in pink tone with birch paneling. The sa- lon is equipped with new modern compressed hair dryers and features glass showcases for costume jewelry and wig display. 75 YEARS AGO JULY 9, 1942 • Wesley Batterson, representative of the Ore- gon State Game commis- sion, released four sage hens and two males near Cold Springs reservoir this week. Mr. Batterson stated that 15 sage hens were released at the same place last September. The birds have been hand raised near Baker, and banded. According to Mr. Batterson, sage birds feed mostly on grasshoppers and other small insects. Just how well they will prosper in this territory has not been determined. • To help prevent acci- dents on the farm, A.M. Thrasher, Pacific Power & Light company man- ager, has offered the ser- vices of company crews to farmers who must cross under the company lines with hay derricks. Thrasher said a request in advance by telephone or mail will bring a PP & L service man who will ei- ther raise electric wires to provide safe clearance or will deaden the line un- til the derrick is clear of overhead wires. The com- pany makes no charge for this service. 100 Years Ago Editor’s note: For some unexplained reason, the editions of the Herm- iston Herald for 100 years ago this week are not in- cluded in the bound cop- ies in our archives. The 100 years ago por- tion of this feature will return in next week’s edi- tion. When and why did you move to Hermiston? I was born in Hermiston. What is your favorite place to eat in the area? Ixtapa. I like their camarones a la crema. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Riding bikes and working on my house. What book did you last read, and did you enjoy it? The Coming Plague. It’s about diseases — it basi- cally lays out how the human race will die. It’s kind of a buzz-kill, but interesting. What app or website do you use most other than Facebook? Spotify. What surprises you about Hermiston? There wasn’t really a lot of money here in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, so there’s not really a hierarchy here — everyone’s treated more or less the same, unlike some other places. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I wouldn’t mind going back to Turkey. I was 14 when I went, and there’s a lot of things you miss. There, or the Czech Republic. What is the funniest thing that’s ever hap- pened to you? I don’t know if I can put that in the paper! What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? I’m slowly working on remodeling a house. What is your proudest accomplishment? My kids. COMING EVENTS WEDNESDAY, JULY 12 BABY & ME LEARN & PLAY, 10-10:45 a.m., Hermiston Public Library back entrance, 235 E. Gladys Ave., Hermiston.
