A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 2018 COMMUNITY THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY JASON ESTLE Pastor, Desert Rose Ministries When and why did you move to Hermiston? I was born in Hermiston in 1973. What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? Lawan’s Thai Garden What do you like to do in your spare time? I enjoy playing with my grandkids, spending time with family, and being in the mountains. What surprises you about Hermiston? That there aren’t many businesses here that sell clothes for men. What was the last book you read? I am still reading it — about diabetic eating. What app or website do you use most often? Probably Blue Letter Bible If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? In the U.S., I’ve always wanted to go to the Smoky Mountains. Outside the U.S., I want to go to Africa and Australia. What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you. My wife can tell you a lot of funny stuff about me. It seems like we’re laughing all the time — inside humor, I guess. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? New development for Desert Rose Ministries. Also, probably growing my education. And just being able to reach out more. What is your proudest accomplishment? I love sharing the gospel. To me, that’s why I live. It’s exciting to see people change their lives, and be a part of that. Building friendships — that’s the accomplishment.

He explained that most state agencies are taking cuts, ranging from person- nel to programs. Overall about 20 percent, or $1.2 billion, will be cut from Oregon’s general fund budget. “There may be some backlash for those of us who did this job because people might not realize the impact on education, human services and correc- tions,” Smith said. “We’re doing a job this session, but I’m here to tell you we can’t do it again in 1995.” Smith said there will be little to cut in 1995 without damaging the quality of life Oregonians have come to expect. • If you live within five miles of the Umatilla Elec- tric Co-op building you probably heard of the “tsu- nami test,” and wondered what was going on. And if you were near the con- ference room #2 of Good Shepherd Community Hos- pital you probably won- dered why the tones of “Westminster Chimes” were playing at 3 p.m. Well, the answer is simple. It is all part of a sales pitch by salesmen to inter- est people in their sirens as an early warning device for chemical emergen- cies at the Umatilla Army Depot. A network of these early warning sirens could appear across the area in the future and salesmen are converging on Hermiston hoping to net the multi-mil- lion contract. Money for the sirens and other warning equip- ment for the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Pre- paredness Program is being channeled to the state and local levels through the Federal Emergency Man- agement Agency. Last year each siren was estimated to cost more than $25,000 each. There are 43 sirens planned for the area around the depot. 50 YEARS AGO MAY 23, 1968 The most valuable and respected source of local news, advertising and information for our communities. www.eomediagroup.com Senator Wayne Mores (D-Ore.) today released the following statement from his Washington office: “Immediately upon my return today from Oregon, HH FILE PHOTO. About 50 farmers gathered at the OSU Agricultural Research Station in Hermiston to take the Umatilla County Weed and Crop Tour in 1993. I entered into conversa- tions with high officials in the Department of Agri- culture and the Bureau of Land Management of the Department of the Interior to assure myself that every possible federal assistance is being made available to the farmers in the Wil- lamette Valley who are freeze victims and to the ranchers of eastern Ore- gon who are facing severe problems occasioned by drought.” “In talking with Boyd Rasmussen, head of the Bureau of Land Manage- ment, he shares the view of eastern Oregon farmers that the drought situation is the most serious situation that has faced stockmen in several years. He told me that the BLM was forced to curtail sagebrush spray- ing programs in some areas because there is no foliage left on the sagebrush.” • Customers of Pacific Power & Light Com- pany can now get a special allowance on electric air conditioning. The program will use as its rallying cry, “Remember last July?” and will offer $5 to $60 allow- ances to customers who buy during the promotion period. Pacific Power antici- pates excellent response to the offer, it was learned: “Electric air condition- ing fits in with the mod- ern concept of total year- round comfort in the home. Given the choice between electric lighting and elec- tric air conditioning on a hot, humid day, most peo- ple would probably give up their lights in favor of air conditioning,” said local division manager Charles Bailey.

By a well-directed system of sleuth work the bunch was rounded up a day or so later and given the once-over. While they were let off on probation, their names, together with the rest of the members of this vicious organization that have since been learned, are on record, and the next car that goes out on a joy riding trip without its owner will be a signal for a little reform school work. The names of this bunch of boys and young men have been handed to us, but again we refrain from giv- ing them publicity, princi- pally for the sake of their parents, and partly to see if they will reform. • North Ridge residents in the neighborhood of the Hoffman ranch turned out en masse Friday of last week when the alarm was given that the four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Hoff- man was missing from home, and diligent search on the part of the parents had been unavailing in locat- ing him. The little fellow was finally found safe by one of the searching party in an orchard three-quar- ters of a mile distant from the ranch, where he had sat down under a tree all tired out and bewildered. • In response to a call for the entrainment of 54 draft men, the Umatilla County draft board has issued a call for 66 men to appear before them in Pendleton next Wednesday, May 29. This being the largest body of drafted men to be sent from this county, they will go in five groups, the last group to leave on the third of June. OUT WITH CABLE. IN WITH SAVINGS. Hopper upgrade fee $5/mo. $ UP TO 60MBPS At its meeting May 14, Westland Grange went on record with the County Court as strenuously oppos- ing any importation of Jap- anese labor into Umatilla County unless any such laborers were to be used in road camps or other places where they could be kept under strict guard. A group from Westland with other Grangers from the county visited Columbia Grange Tuesday and spent a very pleasant evening. • With the approach of warm weather, activities in the community are pick- ing up and a “young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of love.” However, the Herald reporter has noticed that the old-timers on Main Street have failed to respond to the treatment. Included in that category are F.B. Swayze, W. J. War- ner and E.P. Dodd who have been taking turns this week spending part of the time in bed and the rest bemoaning their conditions. The community as a whole hereby sends them a greeting and wishes each of them a speedy recovery.
