A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY ROD HARDIN Hermiston city councilor; Principal of Hermiston Christian Academy When did you move here and why? I moved here in 1980 to take over as principal of the Hermiston Christian school. I was raised in Eastern Oregon so it was like coming home. What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? Hales. What do you like to do in your spare time? Work in my yard, enjoy my grandkids when they’re around. What surprises you about Hermiston? I guess at this point, nothing really surprises me. Whatever they’re doing, Hermiston rises up to the challenge. I appreciate people coming together. What was the last book you read? I get hand-me-downs from my wife’s iPad. What app or website do you use most often? The Bible app. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I’m still wanting to see more parts of the U.S. What was the funniest thing that’s happened to you? Recently, I ran into someone who had a car like one I had — a 1959 Chevy. It could be the same one I owned in the ’60s. Same color, same keys. What I paid for it — he paid a lot more for it as an antique. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? I’m retiring in June after 50 years in education. I plan to have a modified schedule, and two more years left on the council. What is your proudest accomplishment? I think trying to make a difference in education for the last 50 years. Especially seeing young people go on and be able to succeed, and knowing I’ve had some small part in that.

President Christy Her- man opened the event describing the efforts that led to the four-field com- plex off Diagonal Road now called Hermiston Lit- tle League Field of Dreams and dedicated to the volun- teers who made it possible. The death of a former Little League participant and coach, Michael Trem- blay, and the memorial fund in his name, started the drive for the new fields. And the fund-raising made possible by Scott Lem- mon, owner of Hermiston Canned Foods, created the lion’s share of funding. Lemmon raised $16,000 through raffles of the $26,000 collected for the fields. Two of the four HH FILE PHOTO fields were dedicated, one Michael Tremblay Field Lou Ann Wolfe samples a barbecued rib in 1993 at a fundraiser for the Desert Arts Council, and the other Scott Lem- which featured a bluegrass concert held in her barn. mon Field.

On the subject of energy & commitment: “He models what he expects from employees - he’s among those who open the Courthouse in the morning and among those who close it in the evening - every day.” On the subject of accessibility: “When I drop by the Commissioner’s office, I can count on Commissioner Murdock being there.” On the subject of knowledge & experience: “It’s not easy helping lead 300 employees and balancing an $80 million budget. Commissioner Murdock came to the position with decades of experience and it shows in the current state of the county.” On the subject of past performance: “Commissioner Murdock made a positive difference at the Intermountain ESD, the Pasco School District and at the East Oregonian. It shouldn’t be a surprise that Umatilla County has benefitted from this experience.” On the subject of making the most of tax dollars: “Taxpayers don’t want public agencies that whine about not having enough money. Rather, they want those in charge to function effectively and efficiently and provide a stable level of programs and services. Commissioner Murdock is the chief budget officer for the county and he is proud of the fact the county balanced next year’s budget on February 6.” VOTE GEORGE MURDOCK ON MAY 15 & HELP KEEP UMATILLA COUNTY MOVING FORWARD Current Umatilla County Commission Board Chair George Murdock has earned a second full term in office Paid for by Committee to Re-elect George Murdock, County Commissioner. 191 NW Johns Ave., Pendleton, OR 97801
