A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 2018 COMMUNITY THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY 25 YEARS AGO ANNETTE WEBB Retail Nursery Owner When and why did you move to Hermiston? I moved here in 2013 — My daughter didn’t know a lot of people here, and my grandkids were here. I was between jobs, so it was perfect timing. What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston? Probably La Palma. I haven’t eaten out much since I’ve been in Hermiston. What do you like to do in your spare time? Read. I do a lot of reading. What surprises you about Hermiston? I think when I first moved here, I thought it’d be like a desert. There’s a lot more greenery than I expected. As much, if not more, farming than on the west side. What was the last book you read? I’m reading “The Walled City” by Ryan Graudin. It’s pretty good — I started it this morning and am a third of the way through. What app or website do you use most often? Pinterest If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I always thought Australia or New Zealand would be an interesting place to visit. What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? Afterward it was funny — during, not so much. I was home alone and it was early morning. I was still in bed. Our cat, Houdini, was still a kitten. He would always jump on my bed to wake me up. I felt some- thing move up alongside the covers, so I look over the covers, and I’m staring a baby possum in the face. It was alive. He’d brought it in the house to play with. We laugh at it now, but it was pretty freaky at the time. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? To get a job in the Eugene area. Now that I’m almost 60, I want to be in AC in the summer, and heat in the winter. It’s time to go back to an indoor job. What is your proudest accomplishment? Raising my kids to be self-sustaining adults that our raising their own families the way they should be. It’s important to raise good people.

Member of EO Media Group Copyright ©2018 AUGUST 3, 1993 The float that will repre- sent the city of Hermiston in area parades emerged unscathed when the out- building where it is being built was vandalized by bullets. Jeff Pardue, who is building the float at his home on South Highway 395, said he believes van- dals fired several shots from a small-bore rifle from a nearby hill. The shots hit the trailer that the float will rest on, but not the float itself. “It was probably some punk having a gay old time,” Pardue said. This is only the latest in a line of setbacks Purdue has experienced since tak- ing on the project. To date, he has spent more than $2,000 of his own money on the float. • The Regional Water Project participants will have to come up with $13 million to build all of a proposed new water supply system for the West End if projections come true. Bob Vivian of Ace Con- sultants in Portland, the engineering firm on the project, delivered the pre- liminary figures in a meet- ing of the participants last week. Hermiston city adminis- trator Ed Brookshier said, however, that only one- third to one-half of the water system will be built initially. “There’s a strong like- lihood that it will not be constructed all at once,” he said. Plans call for a system that will supply six pub- lic and private entities with water piped out of the Columbia River. HH FILE PHOTO.

Blue became interested in Becky and the town’s fundraising efforts primar- ily through a series of radio interviews with Ken Cap- per, local barber. Officials have revealed that numerous donations to the Becky Howland Heart Transplant Fund have come from the Bay Area, and can be attributed directly to the publicity afforded to the Hermiston drive by Blue. Plans are for the auc- tion to commence on Satur- day immediately following the Umatilla County Fair parade, and will again be held at the high school foot- ball field. • Forest Grove will be the scene of this year’s Lit- tle League taournament and Hermiston team members hope to get off to a good start as they open the tour- nament tonight at 6 p.m. against the winner of Dis- trict 2. There are six teams in the state tournament. The team earned their way into the state tourna- ment by first beating Tri- angle, John Day and Pend- leton in the sub-district tournament in Pendleton and then on Friday night beating The Dalles for the district title in Hermiston. 100 YEARS AGO HH FILE PHOTO. Stanfield police officer Al Humphrey assists six-year-old Nathan Dick with some bike maintenence in 1993. 75 YEARS AGO AUG. 5, 1943 Bold thieves entered the Umatilla liquor store late Tuesday night and took approximately $90 in cash, besides several bottles of brandy and rum. Due to the liquor shortage, the shelves were quite empty, mak- ing the loot smaller than it might have been. Entrance was gained by jimmying the front door. The cash register was also pried open. State police are aiding the investigation. • Mr. and Mrs. O.C. Piece received word early this week of the mar- riage Wednesday of their son, Lt. Gene Pierce, to Miss Fay Baker, formerly of Tulsa, Okla. Lt. Pierce is with the U.S. Armed Forces somewhere in Aus- tralia and now-Mrs. Pierce is a 2nd Lt. in the Trained Nurse Corps. Mrs. Pierce has been in Australia over a year, slightly longer than Lt. Pierce. • The second major fire in recent weeks occurred early Monday morning when flames gutted the inte- rior of Stone’s Store west of the tracks, seriously damag- ing the building and ruining the greater part of the stock. The fire started in the rear of the building where Jack Crane was working with the refrigeration sys- tem. Gas fumes from one of the tanks used for refrig- eration escaped and were ignited by a burning torch. The flames spread rap- idly, causing painful burns to Crane, who ran to the front of the store warning Mike Hunt, the manager, who was working there. Mr. Hunt quickly dashed through the front door of the store to an upstairs apartment at the rear of the Stanfield has organized a company of home guards. It already has 35 men, and drilling exercises are being carried on in an able manner by Jack Stork, who knows the military game from a to izzard, and other equally qualified instructors. Echo also has organized a home guard company. • Yellow jackets attacked Mrs. J.P. Utterback of Echo while that lady was out for a walk one evening last week. The attack of wasps was so sudden that she was unable to protect herself, and was stung a number of times before escaping from them. After trying many rem- edies to alleviate the pain, the best one, so she claims, was the application of flan- nels wrung out of hot lard and applied as hot as possi- ble. This ought to be a good remedy for Hermiston bee men to remember. • We have often heard remarks derogatory to the purity of the city’s water, but these allegations are put to rout by an analysis of three samples sent from here to the state board of health at Portland on July 25 by City Clerk Jensen under instructions from the city council. The analy- sis, a report of which was returned to the clerk early this week, shows that not a trace of gas or colon bacilli was recovered after an incu- bation of 72 hours.
