Newspaper Page TextA2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY HANNA DOBSON Teller, U.S. Bank When and why did you move to Hermiston? I moved to Hermiston when I was in preschool because my dad got a job at the railroads. What is your favorite place to eat? La Palma What do you like to do in your spare time? Kayaking What surprises you about Hermiston? I like the close-knit community — a lot of places don’t have that. What was the last book you read? A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks What app or website do you use most often? Honestly, probably my U.S. Bank app. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? Hawaii What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? I can’t think of anything funny, but I had something cool happen to me. I met Garth Brooks at one of his concerts. I didn’t say anything, I just held his hand. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? I’m trying to learn how to shoot a bow. It’s quite difficult. What is your proudest accomplishment? I graduated high school three classes short of an associates degree, and then I graduated college a couple of months later.

June 8, 1993 In a surprise move, the Hermiston School Board last week quickly approved a plan to charge junior high and high school students user fees to participate in athletics and activities. School board members unanimously approved the fee schedule, but it left sev- eral questions unanswered, including how fee waivers would be arranged. The fees should raise about $42,000 for the school district. The approved fee schedule will charge students who partic- ipate in high school athlet- ics $50 per sport or $100 maximum per individual. Families would face a max- imum fee of $140. Students participating in Oregon Schools Activities Associ- ation-governed activities would be charged a user fee for those activities. Accord- ing to OSAA rules, those activities would be dance team, competitive music, cheerleading and speech. June 6, 1968 A vote of 610 to 496 “yes” resulted in the defeat of the Morrow County school budget. The budget, which had been passed on May 6 by three votes, had to be re-submitted when it was learned five of the voters had not been regis- tered the required 30 days prior to the election. Only in Boardman, where the measure passed 98 to 38, was the vote in the affirma- tive. Negative ballots were cast in Irrigon 98 to 37; Lexington 98 to 36; Hard- man-Ruggs 25 to 13; Hep- pner 242 to 225; and Ione 115 to 100. A new tax base for the city of Umatilla won voter approval Tuesday by the narrow margin of six votes. Unofficial totals showed 97 votes for the measure and 91 opposed. The city will have a new tax base of $21,797, an increase of $9,661. The city coun- cil and budget committee requested the new base. June 10, 1943 Farmers’ crops of West Umatilla county are again menaced by large num- bers of grasshoppers. Some damage is now being done to alfalfa crops, on parts of the Stanfield and Hermiston projects. The Butter Creek area, which suffered some crop loss last year from hopper damage, so far this year has a very light infes- tation of this pest. Farmers in that area are of the opin- ion that the large amount of bait spread last year has Pasadena Tournament of Roses Vice President Mike Ward and his wife, Linda, helped the Hermiston High School band at a barbecue to raise money for the band’s trip to the 1994 Tournament of Roses Parade. The world’s largest operating steam locomotive came through the Hinkle Railyard in June of 1993, on its way from Cheyenne, Wyoming, to Portland and back. had some effect in reducing the number of hoppers this year. A grasshopper bait mix- ing station has been set up at the Henry Kopacz farm, four miles east of Herm- iston, where all the bait for this end of Umatilla County, the north end of Morrow County and proba- bly for the balance of Uma- tilla County will be mixed. In addition to the mixing machine, there will be three mechanical spreaders avail- able for farmers to use to spread the bait. An effort is being made to obtain at least five more spreaders from the U.S. Bureau of Entomology. Bait was furnished last year to anyone needing it at no cost. This year a nomi- nal charge per sack of bait After the lambs are placed, 40 percent of the jackpot money is divided among the top three placings. The lambs are then trans- ported for processing. The carcasses are judged and the remaining 60 percent of the jackpot money is paid to the top three places. People interested in learn- ing more about the quality of lambs they are raising and the direction of their breed- ing programs are encour- aged to enter.

UP TO 60MBPS June 8, 1918 Get your smoked glasses ready, for today is the day when old Sol will make a disappearance for about two minutes. Hermiston being in the path of the sun’s total eclipse, it is more than likely this community will be in darkness for that length of time. This phe- nomena has not occurred in this section of the United States for nearly a hundred years, and will not come again for 27 years. Word was received here last week by friends of the Giese family, who left here a month ago, that Mr. Giese was hovering between life and death as a result of hav- 89 97 $ from /mo each for 12 mos when bundled* ing been taken over a 500- foot cliff by a runaway team. The accident occurred on the Wyland Ranch on Rock Creek a week ago Friday. Mr. Wyland and Mr. Giese were building a fence, and had driven to the edge of the cliff to get some wire. Near the cliff’s edge something happened to the wagon and the horses became frightened and went over the cliff. Mr. Wyland was thrown from the wagon at the start and lay uncon- scious. The horses and Giese went down 500 feet to the bottom of the cliff. When found, Mr. Giese was unconscious, and terribly cut about the head. He did not regain consciousness for 24 hours. It is believed he will recover. The horses also came out alive.
