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.

•Mrs. Georgia F. 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.
She has also conducted
her own column for a Chi-
cago yachting newspaper.
She understands the prob-
lems confronting the home-

•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.”

•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.

•The state highway
commission opened the
new Boardman-Stanfi eld
highway for traffi c with-
out pomp and ceremony.
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

well versed in his style of

•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
