HERMISTON HISTORY SUZANNE STRADLEY Server at Ordnance Brewery and Neighbor Dudes Tap House HH FILE PHOTO When and why did you move to Hermiston? We moved to Hermiston for my husband’s work 20 years ago. A drawing by Portland architect Roi L. Moran shows the planned housing development of Ordnance near the Umatilla ordinance depot. What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? La Palma 25 YEARS AGO April 6, 1993 • The smoke and mirrors of state funding took a turn toward more substantial threats, when the Umatilla State Police office received its official notice of closure last week. “My first response was shock,” said station com- mander Lt. Mitch South- wick. “Most of the feed- back that I’ve gotten from the patrol officers is that they are very disappointed. I know I am.” The official notice said the office would close June 30, which is the end of the fiscal year. Officers at the station had hoped the office would be spared the fund- ing ax, after hearing the proposal was a political maneuver within the state police hierarchy. According to South- wick, the closure plan chosen by the state police will leave the station’s 13 patrol troopers and two game officers in the area. Each officer would be assigned a police car and would work out of his home. About six new cars would have to be added for the local force. Because the offi- cers would be officially assigned to Pendleton, they would have to report there daily to check in and pre- pare reports. “I don’t see response time lengthened, if every- thing goes according to plan,” Southwick said. “What could slow response is if a patrol officers is in Pendleton.” • While construction crews work to shore up the damaged feed canal, Echo city officials are working to help people get their lives back together after severe flooding. Topping the agenda, the city is trying to obtain disaster money from state or federal agencies. But so far prospects don’t look bright. City administrator Diane Berry said the Fed- eral Emergency Manage- ment Agency does not con- sider the Echo flooding to be severe enough to war- rant money. The city is attempting to join Burns and several other towns that have recently flooded to get assistance from the state, however there has not been much encouragement from Salem. What do you like to do in your spare time? I am always on the run due to work and being a full- time student. Whenever I have a minute free I like to hang out with my family — feels like we never have enough time together. What surprises you about Hermiston? There are so many wonderful people that live here, and I am constantly surprised at how kind they are to one another as well as strangers. What was the last book you read? The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg What app or website do you use most often other than Facebook or Google? I watch a lot of “how to” videos on YouTube. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? That is a really long list... I would start with some- where warm! What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? When my kids were in their teens we used to make these silly “five-dollar bets” where one was dared to do something silly while appearing to be serious. It was my turn and they had put a lot of consideration into the challenge. We were going to eat Mongolian barbecue and as we pulled up, they told me my chal- lenge. So, there I was standing in line and preparing my bowl while having to convince the only other per- son behind me that I didn’t know what a carrot was. What’s one of your goals for the next 12 months? My husband and I made a New Year’s Eve challenge to learn to do 10 new things (each) this year. I have seven more to go! What is your proudest accomplishment? My children. All five of them are amazing people and incredible parents.

Member of EO Media Group Copyright ©2018 HH FILE PHOTO Lt. Mitch Southwick stands in front of the Oregon State Police office in Umatilla, which was closed in 1993. 50 YEARS AGO April 4, 1968 Hermiston city council voted to have a resolution prepared to limit parking to two hours for one block on Hermiston Avenue from West First Street to West Second Street and that signs so stating to be erected. A report from the police department revealed that one business in that block would like parking meters, one would like limited park- ing but is not in favor of meters and other businesses are opposed to meters. Mayor Walter Pearson sug- gested that the real answer to the problem could be a two-hour parking limit, and a motion to this effect was passed. • A crowd of 3,200 race fans attended the Umatilla Speedway in the cool 56 degree weather Saturday, March 24. Altogether 81 cars in five categories par- ticipated in the day’s race events, super modifieds, limited modifieds, stock hard tops, super stocks and jalopies. Ken Hamilton, Nampa, Idaho, set a new track record of 15:29 driving No. 98, the Pink Lady spon- sored by East Side Cafe and Lounge, Nampa. Ken received a $100 check from Charlie Kik, promoter of the speedway. • Preparations are under- way this week to move into the new Riverside High School, replacing the for- mer one which is being demolished preparatory to formation of the John Day pool. $XWKRUL]HGDQGSDLGIRUE\9RWH/RX2JGHQ3$& DENTAL Itsuratce A less expetsive way to help get the dettal care you deserve No wait for preventive care and no deductibles – $1 a day* you could get a checkup tomorrow Keep your own dentist!

A portion of the 350 housing units may be ready for occupancy the latter part of April and the remainder to be completed at intervals thereafter. The construction work is in charge of C.F. Davidson Co. of Tacoma, Wash., with various sub-contractors handling various phases of the work. The project consists of 350 dwelling units in a row of houses of fours, sixes and eights in individ- ual buildings. Also planned are a community building, a commercial building and other structures. It is situ- ated on a tract of 80.5 acres on the Umatilla County side just south of the underpass access road to the depot. Each dwelling unit con- sists of a living room, kitchen, bath and one, two or three bedrooms. The units have continuous con- crete wall foundations with concrete slab floors covered 89 97 $ from /mo each for 12 mos when bundled* 100 YEARS AGO April 6, 1918 • Citizens of Hermiston and the farming commu- nity surrounding have taken to the new daylight saving plan “like a duck takes to water.” Before it went into effect last Sunday there were many, however, who could not see into the feasi- bility of the proposition, but after being patriotic enough to try rising an hour earlier than usual each morning and knocking off work an hour earlier in the evening they have become ardent supporters of the new law. “It works like a charm,” is the way most people put it in answer to the usual inquiry of how they like the plan, and so popular has it become all over the country that it is more than probable it will be kept in vogue even after the war is over. There is no doubt now, if there ever was any, that the new law will work wonders in increasing the food pro- duction, for already clerks, businessmen, school teach- ers, preachers and farmers can be seen using the shin- ing surplus hour each after- noon developing gardens in the vicinity of their homes in this city and preparing and sowing land to alfalfa and other root crops in the country. 3DLG$GYHUWLVHPHQW $XWKRUL]HGDQGSDLGIRUE\9RWH/RX2JGHQ3$& $XWKRUL]HGDQGSDLGIRUE\9RWH/RX2JGHQ3$& $XWKRUL]HGDQGSDLGIRUE\9RWH/RX2JGHQ3$& $XWKRUL]HGDQGSDLGIRUE\9RWH/RX2JGHQ3$& $XWKRUL]HGDQGSDLGIRUE\9RWH/RX2JGHQ3$& Physiciats Mutual Itsuratce Compaty The 13-year-old Riv- erside high school gym- nasium was burned Mon- day, and the old gymnasium built nearly 50 years ago, which has been used for classrooms since construc- tion of a new gymnasium, also was burned to the ground. with asphalt sheeting. The exterior walls are of hollow tile, with a stuccoed exte- rior and a plastered inte- rior. The roofs, which seem almost flat, are covered with a three-ply mopped sheet roofing. The ceilings and walls are insulated with two-inch wool, and the win- dows are of the wood case- ment type, weatherstripped and screened. Each unit will be fur- nished with a coal stove and range and a six cubic foot refrigerator. The com- munity building will have a social hall, clubrooms, day nursery, kitchen, offices and repair shops. A large playground for softball, badminton and horseshoe pitching is to be developed with a large spray pool for youngsters. The commercial build- ing, which will house a market, drugstore, clothing and shoes, post office, shoe repair, tailor and clean- ing, and beauty and barber shops, has not as yet been started. /mo.
