My favorite places to eat in Hermiston are at my friends’ houses. They make really good food. What do you like to do in your spare time? Riding bikes, hiking, skiing, quilting, road trips, read- ing, swimming. ... basically any kind of adventure. What surprises you about Hermiston? It looks like there’s nothing to do here, but there’s a TON to do here.

Instagram If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? Asia and/or New Zealand What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? About five years ago a bird pooped on my head during an OK Cupid date, and my date never even noticed. I was just relieved my hair was so long that my one nice shirt didn’t get ruined. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? To go on a gravel bike adventure and backpack in the Wallowas What is your proudest accomplishment? Deciding to uproot my entire life and move some- where else just because, well, why not? 25 YEARS AGO JUNE 22, 1993 A Hermiston man plead guilty last week with the stipulation that he was “insane” when he shot a Hermiston Police officer last September. Because of the insanity plea, Timothy Johnson will not be serv- ing time in prison, but will be spending the next 20 years under the supervi- sion of the state Psychiat- ric Security Review Board. The sentence comes after Johnson was charged with first-degree assault and attempted aggravated mur- der stemming from a series of incidents on Sept. 9, 1992. According to police records, Johnson fired repeated rounds into the air near his home. Officers were called to the scene and one of those bullets pierced the window of a police car housing Officer Jim Littlefield. Littlefield was shot in the shoulder and taken to the hospi- tal. He recovered from the wound. While Johnson may spend the entire two decades in a mental insti- tution, he could be released at any time the psychi- atric review board finds him sane and no threat to society. 50 YEARS AGO JUNE 20, 1967 Printed on recycled newsprint VOLUME 112 ● NUMBER 24 Jade McDowell | Reporter • jmcdowell@eastoregonian.com • 541-564-4536 Jayati Ramakrishnan | Reporter • jramakrishnan@hermistonherald.com • 541-564-4534 Tammy Malgesini | Community Editor • tmalgesini@eastoregonian.com • 541-564-4539 Alexis Mansanarez | Sports Reporter • amansanarez@eastoregonian.com • 541-564-4542 Jeanne Jewett | Multi-Media consultant • jjewett@hermistonherald.com • 541-564-4531 Audra Workman | Multi-Media consultant • aworkman@eastoregonian.com • 541-564-4538 Dawn Hendricks | Office Manager • dhendricks@eastoregonian.com • 541-564-4530 To contact the Hermiston Herald for news, advertising or subscription information: • call 541-567-6457 • e-mail info@hermistonherald.com • stop by our offices at 333 E.

She asked whether proposed rules for shipping containers would apply to those already in place. The June 13 “By the Way” stated that Orchard Avenue would be “blocked off” for construction on July 8-10. Assistant city manager Mark Morgan clarified that one lane will be kept open during construction. WEDDING BELLS ARE RINGING! We have everything you need for your special day!

HWY 395, HERMISTON 541-567-4305 Hermiston telephone growth, which moved in 1968 to all-time highs, will bring adjustments in basic monthly phone charges for Hermiston customers, according to D. Slusher, Pacific Northwest Bell manager. Monthly resi- dence rates for Hermiston customers will go up 10 to 30 cents, while monthly business service charges will increase from 20 cents to $1.50, depending on the type of service. The last revision in Hermis- ton phone rates occurred in January, 1957. Currently, more than 2,800 customers are served by Pacific North- west Bell in the Herm- iston exchange, Slusher said. Calls from phones in Hermiston can be dialed directly without long dis- tance charges to more than 4,100 phone users in Hermiston, Echo, Stan- field and Umatilla. Slusher pointed out that five years ago, Hermiston phone cus- tomers totaled only 2,390, and that extended ser- vice was limited to a total NEED SHADE? SHADE We’ve Got YOU Covered!

They have not only broken into the place, but have broken win- dows, torn down pictures, and made fires with them in the middle of the floor, driven nails into the floor and otherwise done dam- age. The Townsend club is offering a $50 reward for the apprehension and con- viction of any person con- nected with the destruc- tion of property. The Portland-Pendle- ton Motor Transport Co. is now operating its own delivery truck under its own operating rights in and about Hermiston. This equipment and operating rights take the place of the equipment and operating rights formerly owned and operated by the late I.W. Geer. The company has announced that its trans- fer and freight service will be the same as in the past with local hauling and storage facilities. Robert Geer, who has had several years experience in the transportation business, will be retained here as an agent for this district.

The find was placed on exhi- bition in the depot there, and later it was sent to Dr. W.T. Foster, president of Reed College at Portland, for geological and pale- ontological investigation, the belief having become prevalent that the bone or tusk was that of some pre- historic animal. Unfortu- nately, this specimen was broken in shipment and Dr. Foster, who made prelim- inary study of the pieces, said that a more detailed study would be necessary before venturing any sci- entific estimate of the dis- covery. He has asked that the workmen, on finding new evidence, leave it in the ground and notify the college, in which event Dr. Torrey and other qualified geologists would visit the scene and gather whatever data was available. “The discovery holds out interesting promise for geological study,” said Dr. Foster. “If they are the bones of a prehistoric ani- mal or any animal not now accounted for, of course, there is great scientific value there. We shall try to piece together the bones at EARTHLINK INTERNET HIGH SPEED INTERNET 541-720-0772 Proudly Serving Eastern Oregon FREE ESTIMATES!!

Probably we shall send someone to the scene of the discovery anyway.” Among the Columbia news notes in this paper last week was chronicled a great stir in that district over a crazy man that later proved to be sane, but on Friday of the same week, a sure enough demented per- son visited the Hermiston district. On the afternoon of that day, an auto party brought word that they had passed a queer-act- ing and exceedingly unkempt-looking person- age on their way to town from the south. They said he was ambling toward this city. Chief of Police Ross Laudenslager watched for the man, and as he came wandering in placed him under arrest. Later the pris- oner was taken before Jus- tice of the Peace E.P. Dodd who, after questioning him thoroughly, deemed it advisable to order his com- mitment to the care of the county sheriff. Answer- ing the questions of Judge Dodd, the fellow very lucidly stated that he was on his way from Pendle- ton to Portland, but, while no one suspected at that he was looney, neverthe- less he proved later to be an escaped inmate of the Eastern Oregon hospital for the insane at Pendleton, from which institution he took his departure the day before.
