A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2018 COMMUNITY THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY COREY MCMAHON Logistics Operation Manager, Walmart When and why did you move to Hermiston? Around 12 years ago. I grew up in Echo most of my life and Hermiston had more options for renting at the time. What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? I have always been a fan of Ixtapa, the food and ser- vice have always been great. What do you like to do in your spare time? We started camping last year, so when the weather starts to warm up again we are looking forward to going back to the mountains. What surprises you about Hermiston? Its growth. It has been fun to watch how much Herm- iston has grown since I’ve been here. What was the last book you read? “The Art of Possibility” by Daniel M. Jacobs What app or website do you use most besides Facebook or Google? Right now, I would have to say Reddit and Lynda.com. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? Dublin, Ireland. What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? When visiting the Pacific coast around age 10, I tried to do my best Indiana Jones impersonation with a piece of bull whip kelp. Bringing the whip back over my head and preparing for the loud crack it was going to make out in front of me, then I felt a horri- ble pain across my back. The next thing I remember was wiggling around on the sand trying to make the pain go away. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? Travel with my family as much as possible this year. What is your proudest accomplishment? My family - there isn’t anything in my life that I am more proud of. HH FILE PHOTO.

Police discov- ered the three freezing and penniless after having sold the weapons for food and gas. • 27-year-old Francis Sims remains in serious condition at Emanuel Hos- pital in Portland with a col- lapsed lung after allegedly being stabbed in the chest by an angry girlfriend late Tuesday night. Sims told police, “My woman stuck me,” as medical crews attended to him. Allegedly Sims and his girlfriend Shirley Gettman, 38, were arguing when she stabbed him in the chest at his res- idence. He ran to Grain- ary Inn and handed the knife to a bystander. No charges have been filed against Gettman, however the incident is still under investigation. 50 Years Ago JAN. 11, 1968 Printed on recycled newsprint VOLUME 112 ● NUMBER 2 before its fall to Java, and from thence to Australian and then to San Francisco.

As a result area hospitals and doctors, including Good Shepherd, are asked to economize on the use of blood and post- pone non-essential sur- geries requiring transfu- sions. Mrs. S. R.

The gentleman is now overseeing surveying of the road from Morrow County to Pendleton. He expects to reach here early next week with his crew of engineers. • Advice for women motorists: The good driver of a motorcar never applies brakes swiftly except in an emergency. When draw- ing up at a street side she cuts off the ignition early and allows momentum to carry the car to the stopping place, using the service brake gradually. The good driver thus saves gasoline and wear upon brakes. The good driver never uses the emergency brake, because she never has emergen- cies. She sees and avoids the emergency before it arrives. for their consistency in making blood donations. 75 Years Ago JAN. 14, 1943 • Miss Mable Marsh, a missionary of the Wom- en’s Society of Christian Service of the Methodist Church to Malaya, gave an account of the Japa- nese invasion of Malaya and the battle of Singapore during the morning wor- ship service at the Meth- odist church.
