A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2018 COMMUNITY THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY KIMBERLY MACIAS Advertising Media Consultant for the East Oregonian When and why did you move to Hermiston? At age 5, my parents decided to move here from Cal- ifornia for a better future since we lived in a pretty ghetto area in Cali. Plus Hermiston was affordable and my dad’s brother lived here. HH FILE PHOTO. What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? Delish Bistro! Hermiston High School football players (left to right) Scott Brown, Carlos Flores, Jon Schutte and their friend Brice Logan clear snow off Don Dority’s car. Dority paid the boys to clear snow off cars in his lot to raise money for a summer trip to Australia. What do you like to do in your spare time? Spend time with my niece; she’s the coolest! 25 YEARS AGO MARCH 9, 1993 A section of Interstate 82 near the junction with Interstate 84 was closed for nearly two hours after a truck carrying nuclear waste slid off the road and was struck by another truck. At no time during the morning did any radiation leak from the truck. The only damage suffered by the truck was to the trailer, with the nuclear waste tucked safely inside a well- sealed and well-protected cask. It was en route to Hanford from a decommis- sioned nuclear reactor at Fort St. Vrain in Colorado. A neighborhood in Umatilla County near Holdman has suffered mul- tiple thefts and burglaries over the last few months and resident Ken Smith is putting them on notice. He said he is sorry it has come down to this, but he plans to patrol the roads and if he sees some- one messing around any of the houses in the area “I will shoot to kill. They are nothing but a bunch of thieves, they don’t belong here and I am going to take care of them.” Smith said he contacted Oregon State Police about his plans, and they asked him not to kill anybody, but to get their license plate number so the police can find the person. What surprises you about Hermiston? The growth throughout the years What was the last book you read? La Spia by Paulo Coelho What app or website do you use most often other than Facebook or Google? Probably Instagram If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I’ve been fortunate to travel to nine countries so far, my next one is between Iceland, Costa Rica, or Guatemala. What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? It wasn’t funny to me when it happened but on my 23rd birthday my brother came out of nowhere to smash my head in the cake. It was so hard I thought I had lost my tooth. Looking back at the video, it’s funny now. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? Honestly, one of my goals has been trying to make each day count! I’m focusing on trying to live in the present because tomorrow isn’t guaranteed! What is your proudest accomplishment? Graduating from the University since my parents didn’t have the opportunity. Go Eags (Eastern Wash- ington University)!

The commission received the proposed plan at its regular monthly meet- ing. Making the proposal was Carl Peters, a member of the commission. The group conducted a general discussion on the proposed plan with regards to its desirability and var- ious changes that would have to be made to vehic- ular traffic movement and allied activities.

Stanfield youngsters (from left) Chris Jeffs, Nate Lemmon, Adam Lemmon, April Jeffs and Mary Lemmon look out of an igloo they built on a snow day in March 1993. preliminary drawings of the mall. Two Hermiston women, Mrs. Emma Hutchin- son, 78, and Mrs. Emry Bleakman, 83, said today they are anxiously await- ing for someone to pub- licly acknowledge the mer- its of their proposal for the establishment of a water- melon preserve processing plant in Hermiston. They say they will continue to profess that the idea is eco- nomically sound and that all that is necessary for the establishment of the plant is the ambition of some enterprising young man. The two made it plain they would be tempted to undertake the project themselves “that is, if only we were younger,” they relate with a note of disap- pointment. As their reward to such a man starting the processing plant the two women are offering their recipe for watermelon pre- serves, free of charge. 75 YEARS AGO MARCH 11, 1943 Shortly after the Herm- iston fire siren aroused the residents of this city Sun- day afternoon, a Union Pacific engine took up the noise-making chore. Con- siderable speculation was heard as to the reason for the whistle, varying from another call to fire to the general assembly of all state guardsmen.

The Civic Center organi- zation will also move and occupy the basement of the new building. Monday and Tuesday of this week Fol- ger Johnson, architect of Portland, made a general inspection of the library building proper and found it measured up to plans and specifications and in excellent condition for occupancy. An excerpt from a let- ter from Cpl. Jack Johnson “somewhere in France” to his sister Edlie: “My dear- est sister, Everyone is read- ing and discussing the sinking of the American transport Tuscania. Those in our company realize what feeling all aboard had when the ship was torpe- doed. Our commander and all of us kept vigilant watch the last night of our trip, for it was reported that a sub- marine was following us. One this certain is that it will bring home to the peo- ple in the States that the war is won by no means yet. It ought to add a stimu- lus to recruiting and greater efforts on the part of every- one. It certainly will quiet those peace advocates at any rate. We are hard at work supplying the boys, and can’t say I am a bit dis- appointed by any means. It is muddy and raining but most of us are under cover.” $ OUT WITH CABLE. IN WITH SAVINGS.

Anyway, it was blowing when it came into town, blew when it was here and was blow- ing when it left — could be that it is still blowing. Instructions to selec- tive service local boards prohibiting the drafting of men with children who are recognized as dependents under the selective service act are still in effect, the War Manpower Commis- sion stated today. “The only men with children who are being selected for induction at this present time,” Paul V. McNautt, chairman, said today, “are those in whose cases the depen- dency was acquired after December 8, 1941, and at a time when selection was not imminent, may not be inducted through selective service until there is direct authorization by national headquarters.” Men with wives and children will be reclas- sified only after the sup- ply of single men without dependents and who are not deferred as “necessary men” in their occupations is exhausted in the local board area.
