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.

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.

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.

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.

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-

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.
