road conditions. These aren’t your average truck drivers.

Army Depot in California for disposal.

HPD offi cer assaulted
Workers with the Umatilla Army Depot load munitions onto
trailers for a truck convoy to take the shells to an army base
in California for disposal.
An offi cer from the
Hermiston Police Depart-
ment was assaulted during
the arrest of a woman on
Tuesday, Aug.1.
The offi cer, whose
name was not released,
had a bloody nose and bro-
ken glasses from the inci-
dent.
Around 8 p.m., Hermis-
ton Police responded to a
report of a woman causing
a disturbance in the 300
block of East Cherry Av-
enue. When they arrived,
police discovered that the
woman, Janie Marie Ap-
pleby, had an active arrest
warrant. As they attempt-
ed to take her into custo-
dy, Appleby, 47, refused
verbal commands, kicked
and swung at the offi cers.
One offi cer was struck in
the face, resulting in the
bloody nose and broken
glasses. That offi cer was
also kicked in the chest.
Appleby was taken
from the scene to Umatilla
County Jail in Pendleton,
where she was lodged for
assaulting a police offi cer,
resisting arrest, criminal
mischief in the second de-
gree and probation viola-
tion.

miston said the offi cer only
received minor injuries.
“No call for service is
ever predictable, and offi -
cers are trained to be alert
and ready to take immedi-
ate action,” Edmiston said.
“This incident involves yet
another person having a
mental crisis of some kind
and offi cers having to re-
spond and be the commu-
nity caretaker. Fortunately,
our offi cer only received
minor injuries, but taxpay-
ers will be footing the bill
to replace the glasses Ms.
Appleby broke.”
• Building permits issued in Hermiston during the
month of July totaled $50,205 in value. This compares to
$15,642 in July 1966.
• Season tickets are still available for the Umatilla
County Fair. Fair Manager Bob Cooper says that these
tickets, good for the entire fair, are $2.50 for adults and
$1.50 for students. Daily prices are $1.25 for adults and
75 cents for students. Children under 6 will be admitted

75 YEARS AGO
AUGUST 6, 1942
Boardman police on
Friday arrested a 57-year-
old man for rape and sex-
ual assault of three girls.
Morrow
County
District
Attorney
Justin Nel-
son said the
victims are
between
Kenneth
8 and 12
Sicard
years old.
Kenneth
James Sicard of Boardman
faces the following initial
charges: one count each of
fi rst-degree rape, fi rst-de-
gree sodomy, second-de-
gree sodomy, fi rst-degree
unlawful sexual penetra-
tion and second-degree un-
lawful sexual penetration.
The state also charged him
with six counts of fi rst-de-
gree sexual abuse.
According to court doc-
uments, the state alleges
Sicard committed the
crimes in April.
Nelson said the Mount
Emily Safe Center in La
Grande, played the key
role in interviewing the
three girls.
“They are the profes-
sionals that handle these
cases,” he said.
Circuit Judge Ran-
dolph Garrison of Doug-
las County subbed in for
Judge Dan Hill during
Sicard’s hearing Monday.
Garrison set bail for Sicard
at $150,000. He remains in
the Umatilla County Jail,
Pendleton.

• Plans were being made to put of concrete walks in
front of three businesses on the south side of Main Street
to replace board walks now in use at those places. The
members of the Hermiston Produce and Supply Co., Hen-
ry Hitt of Hitt’s confectionery, and Charles Hahn, shoe
dealer, are the ones that will set the pace which others
must follow in making sidewalk improvements in the city.
• H.M. Gunn, superintendent of the local schools, is a
fi rm believer in advertising. He inserted an advertisement
in this paper last week to the effect that he had apples
and peaches for sale at two cents a pound in the Ericksen
orchard, of which he has charge. As a result of this little
notice the apples are all gone already, and the peaches are
being steadily sold.
•W.G. Rodda, clerk of school district No. 115, was in
Hermiston Tuesday on business. Besides being school

he stated that the directors of the above school district are
having the school house prepared for opening by doing
work on the ceiling and otherwise fi xing up the interior.

eled, fl umed and seeded to alfalfa.

ing shortage in the Hermiston-Stanfi eld-Echo section of

have been made to FHA headquarters to build 600 hous-
ing units in that area, some this fall and winter and per-
haps some next spring.
