A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 2018 COMMUNITY THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY CHRIS HULL Retired special education teacher When and why did you move to Hermiston? I moved to Hermiston in fall of 1972. I had a teach- ing job in Stanfield, but lived in Hermiston. In fall of 1989, I got a teaching job in Hermiston. What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? When (my friend and I) taught, we had short peri- ods of time for lunch, so when we retired, we said we were going to have a leisurely lunch every day. We go to lots of different places and mix it up, but I like Hales, Nookies, Shiki Hibachi Sushi. What do you like to do in your spare time? Travel, read and I’m a CASA (Court-Appointed Spe- cial Advocate). What surprises you about Hermiston? How fast it’s grown. But in the beginning, just how friendly it was and the inclusiveness of this community. What was the last book you read? I am currently reading the whole series of Sue Graf- ton books. What app or website do you use most other than Facebook or Google? Weather app. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I’d love to go to Europe. My father’s family are Ger- mans who came from Russia, and my mother’s family is from the U.K. My dream is to go on a cruise that’s 100 days, and goes around the world. What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? Recently, we went to Boston for a CASA conference. After a long day of traveling, we got to the hotel late. We got up to the room, and the door was about a foot wide. I’m an optimist, so I tried, but there was no way I could get my wheelchair through that. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? Redo some landscaping at my house. What is your proudest accomplishment? Probably my son. He’s going to be 35. He was an only child, but he’s married and has three kids — my grandchildren. He’s a great father.

The agree- ment between the Port, Trust for Public Lands and the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Res- ervation calls for the Port to deed some 480 acres to TPL. In exchange the Port will receive some 80 acres south of Highway 730 and $20,000. Property clo- sure on the first phase of the complex land trade is expected this week. Once the Port and TPL have smoothed their bound- aries, TPL will sell the for- mer Conforth Ranch prop- erty they own and the acres from the Port to the Bonne- ville Power Administration. Bonneville will then start an environmental assess- ment of the property, which will probably take about 18 months to complete. The environmental assessment is a necessary requirement for a federal land sale. If the environmental assess- ment looks good, then BPA will deed the property to the Confederated Tribes. The Tribes plan to turn a small part of the roughly 2,800 acres into an indus- trial park while leaving the largest part of the property as a natural and cultural resource area. The land trade will leave the Port of Umatilla with about 800 acres of land for industrial use. That prop- erty will be concentrated north of Highway 730 — near the Columbia River — with some acres south of the highway. Tribal plan- ners hope to bring about 175 acres, adjacent to the Port property, into indus- trial use. The Port of Uma- tilla is also looking to the land swap as leverage to settle a longstanding debate with the state concerning the zoning of the McNary Port property. 50 YEARS AGO JUNE 13, 1968 Member of EO Media Group Copyright ©2018 The poorest water sup- plies in about 35 years Ultimate Hawaii waii Tour with Pearl Harbor Experience are expected for Uma- tilla, Morrow and Gil- liam County water users this summer, according to a report released today by A.J. Webber, State Con- servationist, Soil Conser- vation Service, Portland. Most streams in this area have already dropped to record low levels experi- enced in the early “thirties.” Available water in McKay and Cold Springs reservoirs will be insuffi- cient for a complete irri- gation season. All other areas will have extreme shortages. Precipitation from September 1, 1967 to May 1, 1968 has been only slightly better than half of the usual amount. May brought only 72 percent of the average according to the U.S. Weather Bureau. Mountain snowpacks van- ished 20 to 40 days ago. Soils have dried out con- siderably but did receive some moisture in recent storms. Cold Springs reser- voir held 32,800 acre feet on June first compared with 50,000 acre feet a year ago. McKay reservoir held 33,800 acre feet com- pared with 56,400 acre feet last year at this time. Flow of the Umatilla River at Pendleton was reported at 13,000 acre feet or only 20 percent of the average for May according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Townspeople from here and surrounding towns, ranchers and Umatilla Ord- nance Depot employees are enthusiastic over the pros- pect of long horseback rides and camp cooking. For the past two Sun- days, persons interested have gathered with horses at the USO club in Herm- iston, and have ridden, talked, picnicked, and rid- den horseback on the fair- grounds track. Organization of the club is progressing rapidly, and the only qual- ification for joining is that you like riding horseback about as well as anything you ever did. Since as yet, the riding club is an unnamed baby, members have decided to offer a $25 War Bond as a prize for the name selected. If you have a brain-storm- ing idea, the bars are down, so come along and join the outfit. Divorce in 1-5 weeks Possible!

But Kings- ley is a good sport, never- theless, and he went us one better by giving the editor of the Tribune at Culver a V, presumably to give us a good scoring in his paper — and he is the fellow we now have to deal with. Space won’t permit us to go into a lengthy article to set that editor right in order that he may hereafter know how to elucidate through the columns of his paper on matters piscatorial. We would like to imagine him, as one of the fraternity, otherwise, but this we can- not do until he has “read up” on fish and fish stories more thoroughly. He takes us to task for having mentioned speckled beauties as having inhab- ited the waters of Crooked River, and says that we should have said Red- sides or Rainbow trout. We admit now we stretched the truth a little there, but since reading his arraignment we doubt not that we should have omitted all three of the above species of fish and substituted “suckers” therefor.
