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.

25 YEARS AGO
MAY 25, 1993
State Senator Gordon
Smith told audiences at
Saturday’s town hall meet-
ing in Hermiston that he is
pleased with the work of
the 1993 legislature, but
some people will not be
happy with the cuts made
this session in Salem.
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.

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.

100 YEARS AGO
MAY 25, 1918
Though the Herald
reporter has known for
some time of the numer-
ous thefts of automobiles
by night joy riders, he has
refrained from making this
matter public, knowing full
well that the less publicity
it received the sooner the
“gang” would hang them-
selves by their own rope.
The climax came one night
the latter part of last week
after certain of them had

taken Art Spinning’s car
out for a little ramble. 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.

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.
