A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY ANGIE TREADWELL Registered Dietitian, SNAP-Ed Coordinator When and why did you move to Hermiston? I moved to this area almost 20 years ago for my first job out of college. I didn’t think I would stay long, but I am glad I did. What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? My favorite place to eat in Hermiston is actually at home with my family. For going out to eat, we like Veg Out and Kobe Hibachi Sushi; we also have a deep appreciation for several of our local taco trucks. What do you like to do in your spare time? I like to spend time with my family, run (especially with my friends), experiment with recipes and read. I have recently taken up yoga to help counter the effects of running and my advancing age; I am surprised by how much I enjoy it. Thank you Lauren at Nourish Yoga! What was the last book you read? Currently, I am reading “Let Your Mind Run” by Deena Kastor, an excellent book on the power of pos- itivity that can apply to running or life in general. What app or website do you use most often other than Facebook or Google? I am really into podcasts, so those apps are the ones I utilize most. I also spend quite a bit of time on the Food Hero website as it houses recipes developed at OSU that I use frequently in my work. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? My family and I want to travel the world! Japan is on the schedule for 2019. Greece, Italy, Germany and Morocco are on the list as well as Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Chicago and a return to New York City, a trip we all loved. Now, we just have to figure out the time and money thing ... What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? Last winter I was running early in the morning with my friends Sara and Crystal. It was dark and icy so I was watching my steps very carefully, so carefully that I ran straight into a mailbox in the middle of the sidewalk. Funny, yes, but also painful. What are your goals for the next 12 months? I am working to do a better job of enjoying the moment and not always looking toward the next thing, but ... I do want to run another marathon and travel with my family, combining the two is always optimal. What is your proudest accomplishment? I have been blessed with many wonderful experiences in my life: at the top is becoming a mom to my three awesome daughters. The accomplishment that is freshest in my mind happened about two weeks ago. I ran in the Boston Marathon in the worst weather ever! The cold pouring rain did not let up for the entire race, nor did the brutal headwinds. I am proud to say that I finished the race without completely suc- cumbing to hypothermia. Not exactly the experience I envisioned, but I will never forget it!

May 5, 11 a.m. 25 YEARS AGO May 4, 1993 • State police offices in Eastern Oregon are jump- ing into a new commu- nity policing project that will involve officers in both Umatilla and Morrow counties. To bring communities more fully into the “Service Oriented Policing Project,” several regional boards will be established to collect cit- izen input. Similar to com- munity policing, the idea is to bring police officers into closer contact with the pub- lic they serve. Citizen contact will be gathered through meetings and individual contact with station commanders and cit- izen representatives on the District Advisory Commit- tee, which includes Randall McMichael of Hermiston. • Needing to raise $5,000 to attend a world-level competition, the Hermiston High Odyssey of the Mind team is holding a spaghetti feed. The event includes a presentation that earned them the right to attend the competition. Odyssey gives students a chance to participate in something besides sports, said group director Cathy Lloyd. For their perfor- mance, the group built a human-powered contrap- tion. To qualify, it must make laps around a pre-set course and be able to travel backwards. Lloyd said the group has a good chance of winning if they can make enough money for the trip. • The 8th Annual Greater Hermiston Open Cribbage Tournament, hosted by the Eagles Lodge, was held April 23-25. Drawing 136 participants, it included nationally-ranked players from as far away as New York. Rex Paddock of Mis- soula, Montana, captured the championship tro- phy and a hefty check for $818. Several local play- ers did well in the “High- Roller” event. Bill Jones took second, followed by Jack Haller and Jan Foster. Jones also placed fourth in the main event, winning a trophy and $365. 50 YEARS AGO May 2, 1968 • The city of Hermis- ton budget committee met Monday and approved a 1968-69 budget, includ- ing general fund expendi- tures of $346,150 — with $132,500 being derived from taxation. Within the 6 percent limitation, the bud- get will not require voter approval. With the expected increase in the city eval- uation and using the new requirement of stating tax dollars per $1,000 of true cash value, City Manager Tom Harper said the bud- get will cost approximately $5.40 per $1,000 — 8 cents greater than last year. The budget calls for the following major changes: All city employees will be eligible for a one-step pay raise on their employment anniversary date. The city will pay all of the employ- ees’ share of the Blue Cross insurance instead of the present $3 per month. The volunteer fireman’s pay has been increased from $3 to $4 per call.

Farm fencing is no longer rationed and quota controls on milking machines also have been removed. The 150,000 pressure cookers produced in 1943 will be rationed by county farm commit- tees to users showing the greatest need. Groups com- posed of several families who agree to use a pressure cooker jointly will get first consideration.

The 1968- 69 budget is in excess of the 6 percent limitation by $1,063,873.56. It is esti- mated that this tax will equal $21.07 per $1,000 true cash value. Also, school board position can- didates are Mrs. Norman L. (Margaret) Clark and Mar- vin Lemmon. Mrs. Clark graduated from Yamhill-Carlton High School and married Dr. Clark, a dentist. They have three children, all attend- ing West Park. She is a 4-H leader, a room mother, member of the election board and school budget committee. Lemmon graduated from Hermiston in 1951 and married Pearl Miller the same year. They have five children, rang- ing from second through ninth grades. Lemmon is employed as the petroleum department and service station manager at P.G.G. He is the past president of the Hermiston Junior Chamber of Commerce UMATILLA COUNTY IS IN GREAT SHAPE...WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT IT? • A balanced budget • Twice as many road deputies • Greatly expanded jail capacity • Improved customer service • Modernization of public health Great things are happening!

Details of the war price and rationing setup will be explained. It is essential that any- one who provides services or sells commodities attend the meeting. This includes operators of grocery stores, banks, service stations, shoe repair shops, restaurants, funeral parlors, beauty par- lors and many others. • Rationing: 1. Because recapping takes only one-sixth as much crude rubber as a new tire, the OPA has removed quota restrictions on the number of certificates that may be issued for recapping truck tires. 2. “Play” shoes not used for street wear will go back on the rationed list. EOU’s Trapshooting Club made its first Elgin, Oregon Mother’s Day Brunch May 13 and received the Outstand- ing Junior Citizen Award this year. 100 YEARS AGO May 4, 1918 • L. J. Simpson, candi- date for governor, came to Hermiston by auto and for a couple of hours circulated among the people. We had heard quite a bit about the gentleman’s good qualities, but we had taken it with a grain of salt in the belief that it was only polit- ical buncombe let loose for his gubernatorial aggran- dizement. But on meet- ing him, we could see at a glance over the make-up of the man that our impression of him had been all wrong, and we now believe the high rating the gentleman has received by friends here and elsewhere is wholly justified. All whom he met while here have signified their intention of voting for him for governor. The voters are rapidly coming to the belief that L.J. Simpson will be one governor of Oregon that will serve all the peo- ple. (Editor’s Note: Simpson lost the Republican nomi- nation to incumbent James Withycombe). • The city council at its Wednesday meeting, after having numerous com- plaints regarding reckless driving of automobiles on the streets of Hermiston, instructed the city mar- shal to see that the ordi- nance covering the speed of such vehicles be strictly enforced. Also, the ordi- nance against allowing irrigated water to run on the streets will be rigidly enforced this season. • In Red Cross news, the third Superfluity Sale was a great success, with $62 taken in. While the bidding on the pig was not what was expected, the proceeds of the sale as a whole was very gratifying.
