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?

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.

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.

• The new townsite of
Ordnance, now being devel-
oped by the federal pub-
lic housing authority at the
request of the war depart-
ment just south of the Uma-
tilla ordnance depot, is rap-
idly gaining the appearance
of a small city. 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

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.
