A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM COMMUNITY THREE MINUTES WITH ... WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2018 HERMISTON HISTORY JUSTIN DOYLE Owner, Union Club When and why did you move to Hermiston? I moved here partway through December, to open the Union Club. What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? Walker’s Farm Kitchen. What do you like to do in your free time? I like to take my kids on adventures, read books, and ride my motorcycle. What surprises you about Hermiston? My initial “wow” was just realizing how beautiful it is here. My wife and I at first thought it would be really flat — we were coming out of the Cascade foot- hills. But I’m falling in love with the local topogra- phy and the beauty of the area. Also, the wines — so many great wines coming out of this area. What was the last book you read? I do a lot of nonfiction reading, but the last novel I read was Don Quixote, by Cervantes. It was proba- bly the funniest book I’ve ever read. What app or website do you use most often, other than Facebook or Google? Probably CamScanner — you can scan documents wherever you are. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? Probably Ireland — I have a lot of Irish blood. I also want to go to Switzerland. What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? The day the wind was so strong it blew me off a bridge. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? My primary goal is opening up a relevant, comfort- able space for the city of Hermiston to come get drinks and good food. I love doing that — it’s both a business and personal goal. What is your proudest accomplishment? My family.

West Park Elementary principal Greg Zinn spends a few minutes in “jail” as part of a fundraiser at the school’s winter carnival in January 1993. 25 YEARS AGO The next time you stop into the local McDonald’s for lunch, you might want to treat your fries with a lit- tle more respect. Chances are they were produced at the J.R. Simplot plant just south of Hermiston. What’s more, they are probably some of the most perfect fries you’ll find anywhere, due in large part to the new $2 million worth of high- tech, computerized sort- ing equipment installed at the plant. The machine automatically scans thou- sands of fries per min- ute for blemishes and imperfections. Morrow County teach- er’s union and school board representatives spent Wednesday presenting their contract differences before a neutral party in hopes of finding a solution to their year-long contract stale- mate. District teachers are currently working under their previous 1991-1992 contract because of drag- ging negotiations. Accord- ing to the Morrow County Education Association there are 14 points of con- tention in the new contract, including salary concerns that Morrow County’s top end pay ranks 45th out of 47 for similarly-sized districts.

FEB. 2, 1993 50 YEARS AGO FEB. 1, 1968 Motor vehicle drivers of this area have been told in a friendly but firm man- ner that they have no one but themselves to blame for most automobile accidents. And something else — Men ... yes, men, have an intense dislike for admission of the fact they are poor drivers. This is what Cpl. Robert Rothermel of the Hermis- ton office of the Oregon State Police told mem- bers of the city’s Rotary 100 YEARS AGO HH FILE PHOTO.

Club recently. “A man may admit he is a gambler, a boozer, and cheats on his wife, but never to being a poor driver,” he said. Hermiston has been named as the site for a race horse training track and sta- bles development by E.T. Johnson of Eugene. Making the announcement Johnson said he has purchased 80 acres of land north of high- way 80N between the free- way and the vacant West- land school building from Mrs. Doris Bounds. Com- plete with regulation start- ing gate the track will be a half-mile with quarter-mile front and back stretch straight-aways. He said it will be ready to receive horses in the late summer or fall. 75 YEARS AGO FEB. 4, 1943 After taking into con- sideration the many com- plaints of gambling within the city limits of Hermis- ton, the council ordered the chief of police to stop the playing of poker in several of the establish- ments in Hermiston. Chief of Police Nation reported that notice had been given WE HEAR YOU!

The subject of revenue was also brought up. City Recorder Chas Taylor reported that there remained but $3,969 in the general fund on Jan. 1 after the December bills were paid. With bills mounting to better than $1,000 per month the city is going to run short before July 1 when new tax money comes in. Food hoarding not only violates the tenants of good citizenship but it can very easily lead to serious consequences for the hoarder, according to an announcement made Wednesday by the Herm- iston board of OPA’s War Price Rationing Board. The group warned that excess stocks of rationed goods would have to be declared and the equivalent num- ber of stamps surren- dered at registration time, and stated severe penal- ties await those who fail FEB. 2, 1918 There’s a bad time in store for some of Hermis- ton’s horde of canines, and it is a safe bet that the pop- ulation of Dogdum will be diminished materially as a result of the invasion of the dog catcher, who is soon to appear for the purpose of taking a census of all the animals within the confines of this city, and sending to perdition all those that do not display a license tag. Owners of perfectly good dogs should begin now to look after the welfare of this part of their personal property by calling on the city clerk and securing a license so that their ani- mals will be immune from annexation when the work of extermination begins. It is a widely advertised fact that the product from the hives of the beekeepers surrounding Hermiston is of the most superfine qual- ity, and that a ready mar- ket, both local and foreign, is always awaiting them. No better evidence of this is needed than the single shipment made Monday from the O.W.R. & N depot in this city, when Thom brothers, almost nation- wide known for their pro- duction of superior honey, billed out 23,000 pounds of the delicious product of the hives, almost all of which went direct to a California wholesaler.
