THREE MINUTES WITH ...
HERMISTON HISTORY
LIZ MARVIN
School-to-career counselor
Hermiston High School
When and why did you move to Hermiston?
We moved to Hermiston 22 years ago. My husband
took a job here. We moved from Tennessee. We grew
up in Montana, and wanted to get back out west.
What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston?
Probably Delish Bistro.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Be creative, whether painting a picture or painting a
piece of furniture.
What surprises you about Hermiston?
How forward-thinking and inclusive the community
is. I love our little community we lived in in Tenne-
see, but it hadn’t changed in generations. In Hermis-
ton, you can be involved in just about anything. There
are not a lot of barriers.
What was the last book you read?
An audiobook — “Daring Greatly” by Renee Brown.
What app or website do you use most often?
Pinterest.
If you could travel anywhere, where would you
go?
I think it’d be an awful lot of fun to go to Europe and
go junking, bring a container full of treasures home.
What was the funniest thing that’s happened
to you?
Probably the most embarrassing thing was when I
wasn’t watching where I was going, and walked
through a stand-up sign in a department store.
What is one of your goals for the next 12
months?
To be more organized. It’s a lifelong quest.
What is your proudest accomplishment?
Other than having two grown boys that we like to
spend time with, working with students at the high
school and helping them find opportunities.

25 YEARS AGO
AUGUST 10, 1993
The Umatilla County Fair got off
to a surprising start Monday night
when firefighters responded to an
electrical fire in a storage building at
the fairgrounds.
“We’re really lucky we got there
when we did,” Hermiston Fire Chief
Jim Stearns said.
“That old building — it’s dry, it’s
wood — I’m not surprised it hap-
pened,” he added.
Power lines had made contact with
metal flashing on the roof, causing
several hot spots.
“Everywhere you had a nail, you
had a fire,” Stearns said.
Firefighters had to wait for power
to the building to be disconnected
before taking on any but the largest
of flare-ups. The fire was out in about
two hours. The building has served
many functions over the years, most
notably as a plant that processed arte-
misia for veterinary purposes. It is
now used primarily for storage and
contains a small welding shop.
50 YEARS AGO
AUGUST 8, 1968
The Oregon City Syncro-Ettes, a
group of synchronized swimmers,
will give a free demonstration of their
swimming stunts and costumed rou-
tines Saturday, August 10, at 9 a.m.
at the Hermiston High School out-
door pool. The Syncro-Ettes, under
the experienced direction of Mrs.
Marna Moore, will be enroute to
Spokane where they will compete in
the invitational AAU synchronized
swimming meet August 10-11. These
girls have just returned from compet-
ing in California and previously they
have entered northwest and Cana-
dian meets where they have won
many points. In their presentation
here, they will show basics such as
sculling head first and feet first, and
the three required stunts for compe-
tition: the Kip, the Dolphin and the
Somer-Sub. Then they will perform a
series of stunts of gradually increas-
ing degrees of difficulty from the Tub
up to the Dolpholina, including the
popular Porpoise and Catalina. The
second half of the program will be in
costume during which the girls will
perform their competitive routines to
music in the pool. The program will
be finished in time for the audience to
walk over to the nearby route of the
Umatilla County Fair Parade.
75 YEARS AGO
AUGUST 12, 1943
Walter Earl Cebula, soldier at
Pendleton field, is in custody of mil-
itary authorities awaiting trial after
his arrest in Hermiston Sunday night
by Chief of Police B. J. Nation on a
charge of attempted rape. After Ceb-
ula was lodged in the local jail he
requested a glass of water. A short
time later Nation discovered that
the youth had attempted suicide but
failed. A statement given by the girl
said that the soldier walked with her
to the home of a friend. The two found
no one at home. The girl reported that
the soldier then attacked her, but that
she fought off his advances. Screams
heard by passersby brought aid, but
the soldier fled. He was captured later
and brought to the local jail. The inci-
dent stirred up quite a bit of ill feeling
about town and for a time it looked as
though the jail would be stormed by
an angry crowd. However, peace was
restored when army officials came for
the youth.
100 YEARS AGO
AUGUST 10, 1918
The 1918 Pendleton Round-Up
will be held next month, the war not-
withstanding. The directors at a recent
meeting decided, after consulting
with representatives of the govern-
ment, that the necessities of war were
not such as to deprive the people of
the pleasures and inspiration growing
out of the big epic drama of the west,
and they decided, too, that every cent
of the profits from the show will be
turned over to the Umatilla County
chapter of the American Red Cross.
The directors of the chapter at their
monthly meeting ratified the proposal
and arranged for an auditing commit-
tee to check up on the reports after
the show. The dates of the Round-Up
have been fixed as Sept. 19, 20 and
21, and the directors will start this
week signing up stars and making
other preparations for the show.
