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.

• Stanfield police chief
Al Humphrey is crediting
the quick thinking of a con-
venience store clerk at the
Jackpot market in helping
police nab three Lakeside
runaways. About 4:30 a.m.
Sunday three teenage boys
entered the store begging
for food and shelter. The
clerk, Camie Wilson, called
police who responded after
discovering the three were
wanted for possession of
stolen weapons and a sto-
len vehicle. 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.

• 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.
