A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2018 COMMUNITY THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY KAREN PRIMMER Communications Sergeant at Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office - Dispatch When and why did you move to Hermiston? We moved here in summer of 1976. My dad’s job with Frito Lay got transferred here and my mom went to work at Hinkle Railyard. She was one of the first female brakemen hired at Hinkle. What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? Kobe Hibachi Sushi - when it first opened, we were eating there about once a week. What do you like to do in your spare time? Doug and I like to Cosplay and attend Comicons. We have attended Seattle Emerald City Comicon about seven or eight times, and Portland, Rose City Com- icon about four or five times now. We would love to attend more, including the big one in San Diego, CA. What surprises you about Hermiston? While the city has changed since I moved here in 1976, the small town-know your neighbor feeling hasn’t, despite the fast-paced growth, which is excel- lent to see. I love that about our community. What was the last book you read? It is a Steampunk Genre book in a series called The Girl and the Clockworks Cat (book one) and The Girl and the Clockwork Conspiracy (book two), by Nikki McCormack. Great reading. What app or website do you use most often other than Facebook or Google? Trip Check and Accuweather. Driving back and forth to Pendleton, these two apps are the bomb for keep- ing update on road conditions all year long. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? My dream vacation is to visit Australia and New Zea- land for a month. I want to travel the entire area, including the train trips available, and do a boat div- ing trip there as well. The only drawback I know of is they have 7 to 10 of the most deadly snakes. I HATE SNAKES. But I’m still going. What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? I’d have to say, Doug forgetting how to sing to me at our wedding? He’d been practicing for weeks and was great. The time came, music cued up, he turned to look at me and... the poor guy had the deer in the headlight look. Any thoughts related to any- thing, including his own name, was GONE. I even tried to help him out by telling him to sing anything. Still nothing from him. Suddenly I start laughing hys- terically and couldn’t stop. I was promptly followed in the infectious laughter by all our 200-plus friends and family. Even the judge who was marrying us couldn’t stop laughing. It was hilarious and took a bit to get the ceremony back on track, but we made it.

The group, led by Rod Bragato, put money down on property across the street from Hermis- ton High School where a large metal building will be constructed. Right now, the only thing standing in their way is the $23,000 needed to construct the building. “When we had our youth center open, we averaged 80 kids a night, so we know they want a place to go,” Bragato said. “This cen- ter will be a reality, we just need people to support it.” On Wednesday, May 19, the national Heart-N- Soul Concert Tour wil stop in Hermiston featuring such artists as ETW (End Time Warriors), E-Rock, JC Crew and The Dynamic Twins. All proceeds from the tickets will go to the youth center. • Two girls attending Armand Larive Junior High were handed seven days of out-of-school suspension for bringing two pellet guns to school. The incident, involving a 13-year-old and a 14-year- old, happened Thursday, said school principal Shan- non Gorham. The pel- let guns were found in the girls’ bags, and the Hermis- ton police were called in to deal with the problem. Hermiston police offi- cer Doug Smith reported that one of the girls has been taken into custody for possession of stolen prop- erty. He said the second girl would face the same charge. 50 Years Ago April 18, 1968 Groundbreaking cere- monies for the additional nine holes to be added to McNary Golf Course were Monday, with Mrs. Ursel Hiatt, widow of the late president of McNary Golf Club, turning the first spade of earth to get the construc- tion underway. Threat- ening clouds in an other- wise fair day and gusts of wind slightly interrupted the ceremony, but the sun appeared before it was over.

Gene Hiatt, who suc- ceeded his father as pres- ident of the golf club, pre- sided and gave a speech including expressions of thanks to the many persons who assisted in the project. 75 Years Ago April 22, 1943 The first organized oppo- sition to opening Umatilla County Japanese-Ameri- can farm labor during the coming harvest seasons was reported in Pendle- ton Wednesday when the county court announced that it had received an offi- cial notification from the Hermiston Farm Bureau. The letter stated that this organization opposed throwing Umatilla County open to any Japanese labor. • Business deals on Hermiston Main Street have been flying fast and thick this week and it could be that more have transpired before The Herald gets in the hands of its readers.

The first exam- ination to which women will be eligible will take place April 27 in all sec- tions where there are vacan- cies and where men carri- ers are unattainable. This is the first time since 1911 that women have been eli- gible for such posts, except in rare cases as substitutes. Previous to that time the service was opened to women for a short time, but while their work was satis- factory, climatic conditions in the Northwest were such as to make it inadvisable to use them generally and the privilege of examination was denied. • The Hermiston city council passed an ordinance to extend the irrigation sys- tem to the residents of the Newport addition. With the passing of the ordinance a new irrigation district has been created, which will hereafter be known as Dis- trict No. 2.

Heading the list is the purchase of the Thompson Drug Store by Sam Moore and Glenn Ripley from Mr. and Mrs. Harold Thomp- son who have operated the concern for the past several years. The Igloo is also in new hands. Guy Cronk, who last week announced that he planned to open a cafete- ria, decided at the last min- ute that he didn’t want to go into the restaurant busi- ness. Information now is that John Henry Nye and Sam Nye have leased the firm and will operate the bar side, sub-leasing the lunch counter. Still another change finds Vern Daugh- tery’s Barber Shop moving to the Igloo Inn from the Hermiston Hotel. 100 Years Ago April 20, 1918 Women are to be taken on as rural route mail car- riers all over the country as a war emergency measure, <($56 2) (;3(5,(1&(' (;3(5,(1&(' <($56 2) 2) (;3(5,(1&(' <($56 (;3(5,(1&(' <($56 <($56 2) 2) 2) (;3(5,(1&(' (;3(5,(1&(' 121 3$57,6$1 /($'(56+,3 121 3$57,6$1 3$57,6$1 /($'(56+,3 3$57,6$1 /($'(56+,3 121 /($'(56+,3 121 121 3$57,6$1 3$57,6$1 /($'(56+,3 /($'(56+,3 /RX ( /RX /RX /RX /RX 92 9 7 9 2 ( 9 2 7 2 9 7 7 2 ( ( 7( If you’re over 50, you can get coverage for about No wait for preventive care and no deductibles – $1 a day* you could get a checkup tomorrow Keep your own dentist!
