25 YEARS AGO
When and why did you move to Hermiston?
I’ve lived here all my life — born and raised.
What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston?
La Palma
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Either watch the Tri-City Americans, watch my son
play hockey, or watch my daughter play whatever
sport she’s in.
What surprises you about Hermiston?
The high school layout is pretty different from when
I went there. Where my locker used to be is now a
parking lot.
What was the last book you read?
John Grisham’s Sycamore Row.
What app or website do you use most often?
Pinterest
If you could travel anywhere, where would you
go?
Italy. I just like the canals and the buildings.
What is the funniest thing that’s happened to
you.
At the bowling alley, I had my kids with me. The line
where it says “do not cross,” my daughter was going
towards it, so I crossed it, and I kept slipping and fall-
ing. I kept trying to pretend it was her falling, but it
was me.
What is one of your goals for the next 12
months?
My goal is to hopefully impact one of the students
I deal with, and hopefully guide them down a bet-
ter path and make better choices. I hope to see them
graduate later on down the road.
What is your proudest accomplishment?
It’s kind of hard between work and personal, but see-
ing my kids, and the way they interact with other
people.

JULY 27, 1993
The Oregon State Police may move
into the West Umatilla County build-
ing in Hermiston within the next two
months.
The county offered a section of the
building to the OSP rent-free when the
state police’s Umatilla building fell
prey to the state’s budget axe.
“The price is right,” OSP Lt. Mitch-
ell Southwick said, approving of the
500-square-foot space. “It won’t be an
office per se — it won’t even have a
sign out front — it’ll be a place for the
guys to do some typing. It’s basically a
place with a telephone.”
Troopers using the space would be
assigned and report to OSP’s Pendle-
ton office and would work out of their
homes, Southwick said.
• Cleaning up contaminated ground
water at the U.S. Army Depot could
cost an estimated $4.4 million to $6.1
million or upward to $16 million,
depending on the length of the cleanup
time and the chosen cleanup method,
according to Arthur D. Little Co. offi-
cials, Army consultants speaking at a
technical review committee meeting
July 20.
About 85 million gallons of ground
water covering 170 acres are contami-
nated with high explosives that washed
out with water from a bomb plant and
into a pair of dry evaporation lagoons
in Coyote Coulee from 1950 to 1965.

dent of Schools, has announced that
opening day for schools in Hermiston
School District, has been rescheduled
from Sept. 3 to Sept. 9. The delayed
opening will serve a dual purpose; it
will allow the construction crews an
additional week to finish work and
also allow additional time for furniture
that has been ordered to arrive.
JULY 25, 1968
The Creightons, formerly local
residents who now live in Baker,
became parents of twins, a girl and a
boy, Susan Kay and Richard Ray, last
March 25 and they are in some of the
scenes of the Paramount movie “Paint
Your Wagon” with Clint Eastwood
now being filmed at East Eagle in the
Baker Country.
One of the first things the Creigh-
tons had to do when their twins were
chosen for the part was to get social
security cards for them.
Twins do not actually appear in the
story; Susan and Richard spell each
other off, acting the one part, as they
shoot only a few minutes at a time.
They play the part of the baby of one
of the wives of the Mormon who has
just come into the rough and ready
mining tent camp.
The parents leave Baker with the
twins about 8 a.m. and return some-
time after 6:30 p.m. His regular job
is driving truck for Oregon-Portland
Lime Co. at Lime, west of Baker, but
he is on a leave of absence to act as
chauffeur on the three-hour round trip
from their home in Baker to the movie
site. On location, the babies and par-
ents have an air-conditioned private
trailer and a registered nurse is con-
stantly on hand.

A circus is coming to town! The
following item is written for the ben-
efit of all youngsters in the community
who have waited many years for the
opportunity to see a large circus.
The Arthur Bros. three-ring cir-
cus has scheduled Aug. 24 as the date
for the Hermiston showing, one in the
afternoon and another in the evening.
The circus will feature Titania, the
largest beast that walks the earth; the
Sing Lee Sing Troupe; the world-fa-
mous fighting lions; performing seals;
clowns and all the other items that
go to make up this popular type of
entertainment.
• Tertletown has finally been
moved. A little confusion, that’s true,
but everyone seems to be settled and
used to the idea of living a little closer
to his work. The new houses at Ord-
nance are really fine. Most of the peo-
ple say they are much cooler than the
old houses.
We do hope everyone is satis-
fied and we know that Ordnance will
become a regular city. The Civic Cen-
ter is not yet completed but when it is
they will have a grocery store, meat
market, beauty shop and just about
everything anyone will want.
Here’s to Ordnance — may you
grow and grow.
100 YEARS AGO
JULY 27, 1918
News from the war zone has been
very encouraging all this week, and
present indications are that the allied
forces now have the Huns going back-
wards. The great German drive that
had been scheduled to begin and did
begin the latter part of last week has
been turned to a rout by the allies,
who have inflicted severe blows to
the enemy and taken many thousands
of prisoners, besides munitions and
foodstuffs.
Dispatches from the front received
yesterday and the day before would
indicate that the allied armies have
the Hun troops about bottled up in the
pocked in the Soissons-Rheims salient,
and it is the belief abroad that the allies
are on the verge of a great victory.
• Suit has been filed in the circuit
court by L.W. Furnas asking for dam-
ages from the city of Hermiston in the
sum of $750 for interfering with and
shutting off the water from a three and
one-half acre tract of land that he has
been irrigating from the city’s pipe line
in the western part of town. Raley and
Raley of Pendleton are his attorneys.
The suit is evidently being brought
in retaliation of the trouble that
recently arose between himself and
the city when the council decided to
collect alleged back water rent that
had remained unpaid for a number of
years, and which led up to his arrest
recently for molesting city property
when the lock on the gate from which
he derived water for the tract had been
broken after being locked by the city
on refusal to pay.
