HERMISTON HISTORY
ANGIE
MCNALLEY
Umatilla County Fair
Coordinator (see A5)
When and why did you move to Hermiston?
We moved here in 2009 on my son’s eighth birthday
when the economy took a dive that year and I was
laid off for the first time in my life and struggled to
find work and afford to live in Southern California.
What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston?
That’s easy, Midway Bar & Grill. #broastedchicken
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Fishing, hunting, boating, crabbing and bonfires
with our other friends who have also moved to Ore-
gon from Southern California.
What surprises you about Hermiston?
What surprises me the most is how giving people
are. No matter what their socioeconomic “status” or
background, the people seem to give and give to sup-
port youth programs, service organizations and com-
munity events. The level at which that occurs here is
astonishing to me in the best sense of the word.
What was the last book you read?
To be honest, I’m more of a fan of TV documenta-
ries. I especially love a good crime documentary or
Planet Earth and National Geographic specials.
What app or website do you use most often?
Amazon and YouTube, but I can’t live without my cal-
endar widget!
If you could travel anywhere, where would
you go?
I want to stay here in the good ol’ U.S. I want to see
the Grand Canyon, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone and
the Sequoias.
What is the funniest thing that’s happened to
you?
Well in the spirit of Fair, I’ll keep it Fair related. A
few years ago, probably my second year working for
Umatilla County I became engaged and as a joke,
our Fair Board Chairman Gay Newman purposely
started a rumor that I was going to get married
during the fair on the Main Stage before one of the
concerts. It was Director Steve Anderson’s first year
on the Fair Board and he came up to me to congrat-
ulate me but was frantic about when and how it was
going to work logistically and wanted to help in any
way he could. I had to tell him that it was a prank and
that I wasn’t really getting married on stage during
the fair. We had a GREAT laugh.
What is one of your goals for the next 12
months?
Simply to put everything that I’ve learned about the
fair since 2012, into action. I’ve learned something
from every single one of my predecessors and have
paid attention to things that have worked and things
that have not worked. This is the first time that I will
have a full year to implement what I’ve absorbed
and to make some changes for better efficiency, bet-
ter sponsor relations and to further the fair’s rela-
tionship with every organization and entity who has
a part in its annual creation. My goal in this position
is to be transparent with my fair board and with the
county commissioners so that we can all communi-
cate and do what is necessary to support the fair and
all of the youth programs that benefit from it.
25 YEARS AGO
JULY 6, 1993
Oregon is still only one
of two states imposing a
ban against self-serve gas
stations.
An attempt to join the
majority of the states was
quashed last week when a
House vote of 36-23 put
an end to the bill for the
remainder of the session.
The bill would have
allowed the self-service
sale of gasoline and uni-
versal access to card-lock
facilities in certain east-
ern Oregon counties. The
“county option” would
have allowed Umatilla,
Morrow and 14 other
counties the opportunity to
choose to pump their own
petrol.
According to Rep.
Chuck Norris, the county
option evolved “after it
became clear that an out-
right repeal of the self-ser-
vice ban, which has been
in place since 1951, or a
referral of the issue state-
wide, was not supported
by a majority of the House
Natural Resource Commit-
tee members.”
• Driving through the
Hermiston and Stanfield
farming areas, small sec-
tions of lily blossoms can
be seem sprinkled across
the green fields.
Those small sections
are color blocks of several
varieties of lilies, a new,
successful crop grown in
the area.
Even though there are
250 acres of lilies grow-
ing in different locations,
fields of full-blown flow-
ers swaying in the breeze
will not be seen, as grow-
ers are focused on build-
ing a good root system and
allowing the bulbs to reach
full maturity would be
counterproductive.

phone calls to parts of
Europe and the Pacific. But
satellites are just beginning
to cast their shadow across
the globe.
According to Dale
Slusher, local manager for
Pacific Northwest Bell, sat-
ellite telephone service will
be available before long to
Africa, South America, the
Middle East and Asia. The
construction of new ground
stations in these distant
lands and the launching of
higher-capacity satellites
will make this expansion
possible.
75 YEARS AGO
JULY 8, 1943
Like the baseball player
who ran to third base
instead of first, the Herm-
iston fire department did a
good job of extinguishing
the flames of some small
barns on the W.J. Warner
property south of town but
found out the next morn-
ing that the original call
for help had come from a
trailer house fire in Cabin
City. A third fire started just
a short distance east of the
other two fires.
The
barns
were
destroyed, the trailer house
seriously damaged and
no report was made of the
third fire. However, one
thing was quite certain, all
the fires had some connec-

telephone
users who call overseas
may not know it, but their
voices are traveling by sat-
ellite with increasing regu-
larity these days.
Communications sat-
ellites supplementing lon-
ger-established undersea
cables are carrying a steadi-
ly-growing number of tele-
tion. The barn fire was the
third similar case in recent
months indicating that a
firebug might be active
here.
Residents with small
outbuildings are urged to
keep on the lookout for sus-
picious characters or indi-
cations which might lead to
another fire.
• Army Ordnance is
learning a lot about women
it never knew before.
Women are replacing men
called to the Armed Forces
or shipped overseas. They
are helping relieve the
manpower shortage.
A realistic survey of
female employment has
been made available by
Colonel A.S. Buyers, com-
manding Umatilla Ord-
nance
Depot,
which
employs a large number of
women.
Here is what bat-
tle-tough Ordnance per-
sonnel experts discovered:
Women have greater finger
dexterity than men, greater
patience, greater enthusi-
asm. Women will accept
99 percent responsibil-
ity, but they always like to
receive a final OK on their
work from men. Women
want their jobs glamorized
for them. Women do not
mind getting their hands
and faces dirty, but the lack
of beauty shops in the com-
munity will cause a seri-
ous personnel problem.
Women take instructions
and directions in a far more
personal manner than men.
Women are patriotic with-
out cynicism.
100 YEARS AGO
JULY 6, 1918
When the change is
made from gas power to
electricity at the city pump-
ing station the reservoir on
the Hermiston Butte will be
flushed and cleaned. At that
time the council plans to do
a little road improvement
by flushing the city streets
with water that will come
from the hydrants, and then
put on the road drag and
smooth up the holes on the
main thoroughfare.
Owners of shade trees
on thoroughfares that
obstruct the vision of oppo-
site-going vehicles will be
asked to trim them in order
to avoid accidents
Picnics, reunions and
family gatherings marked
the celebration of Indepen-
dence Day this year, and
the noisy firecracker was
for once noticeable in its
absence. Thursday morn-
ing a large caravan of peo-
ple from town and coun-
try with well-filled baskets
began moving toward the
picnic ground on the Uma-
tilla River, where all who
participated had a most
excellent time.
