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.

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.

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

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.

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

to these establishments of
the decision of the coun-
cil, and that action would
be taken on violators. 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.
