A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2017 COMMUNITY THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY TAMARI LEWIS Speech Language Pathologist HH FILE PHOTO. When and why did you move to Hermiston? I moved to Hermiston to work as a speech language pathologist for the InterMountain Educational Ser- vice District in August 2013. Where is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? Delish Bistro. What do you like to do in your spare time? I like to run, hike, cycle and travel. What surprises you about Hermiston? I would say the friendliness and acceptance of the community here. That was one of my fears. What was the last book you read? I am reading “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio. So far, I like it. What app or website do you use most often other than Facebook or Google? Instagram. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? If someone gave me money right now, I’d probably go to Africa. Specifi cally, Kenya. I really want to go on an African safari. What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? At my high school, there were a lot of seagulls. One day, after lunch, a seagull pooped on my head, and I had cornrows, so it was right on my scalp. I was in the 12th grade. It’s hilarious now that I think about it. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? To improve my understanding and speaking of Spanish. What is your proudest accomplishment? Getting a master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology.

Sutch, a member of the offi - cial family at the Umatilla Ordnance Depot, has con- sented to write a weekly column for the Herald and comes well qualifi ed for the position. She is a gradu- ate of the University of Illi- nois and for several years wrote on the Home Eco- nomics staff of the Chi- cago Evening American.

NOVEMBER 17, 1992 •Three local men were arrested for the murder of 22 year old Brian David Smith, whose body was found at Cold Springs Res- ervoir Thursday afternoon. Don C. Ball, 22, Hermis- ton; Steven L. Derushe, 22 Stanfi eld; and Nathaneual J. Miller, 21, Umatilla were arrested on charges of aggravated murder. Accord- ing to Umatilla County Undersheriff John Trumbo,, aggravated murder is a cap- ital crime punishable by life in prison or the death pen- alty. Brian David Smith was killed by a gunshot wound to the head, according to an autopsy performed a day after the body was discov- ered. A motive for the crime was not been released by police. •Newly elected State Representative Sharon Wylie admits to being a farm junkie. That’s why she was part of the tour and seminar sponsored last weekend by the Blue Mountain Potato Growers. Still, Wylie was surprised at what she learned. “I’m impressed,” Wylie said, “I had no idea of the poten- tial of this area to produce food.” The Gresham legisla- tor was one of 15 women in government who attended the session, devoted to water issues. Herald pub- lisher G.M. Reed said, “Our farmers are the most frugal (with water) of all farmers in the world.” 50 YEARS AGO NOVEMBER 16, 1967 •Secretary of State Clay Myers said this week that nearly $15.5 million will be distributed to Oregon coun- ties this week for direct property tax relief. The Sec- retary of State said the fi rst annual distribution of ciga- rette tax revenues amounts to $5,462,995. It, added to $10 million from the state general fund appropriation, will provide relief of $4.21 per $1,000 of assessed valu- ation in the counties, Myers noted. •Hermiston was well represented at the 42nd 100 YEARS AGO NOVEMBER 17, 1917 HH FILE PHOTO.

The cost of the new sec- tion of U.S. 30 was about $600,000. The change in the highway consists of one long tangent with one curve connecting with the present Columbia River highway at Boardman. The Board- man-Stanfi eld section is part of the strategic military system and was fi nanced by federal and state funds. •Basketball has started in earnest at the local high school with 60 boys prac- ticing daily. The fi rst week of practice has consisted principally of fundamen- tal drills. Four lettermen remain from last year’s near champions who lost their district play-off by one point. Those are Til- ler, Rugg, Wilcox and Null. With these men as the nucleus Coach Weber has his entire ‘B’ squad from last year who are well versed in his style of play and will fi t well into the picture if they can be •Twenty fi ve nice fat hens are missing from J.M. Prindle’s fl ock, and the bad- ger has turned out to be the predatory cuss to blame. One badger in particular that has made his home for some time in a hole he dug close to the chicken coop. Mr. Prindle would like to see in the open for about three minutes, and what he would do to him that with a shotgun would nearly rec- ompense him for the known loss of the chickens by the animal. •It is expected that within a short time from now a magnifi cent library building will materially add to the appearance of our progressive little city, plans for which were drawn some time ago by a Portland architect, and to consider bids for its construction the local directors of the branch of the Umatilla County Public Library established here met.
