A2 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2018 COMMUNITY THREE MINUTES WITH ... HERMISTON HISTORY KALIE DAVIS Workforce Training Program Manager When and why did you move to the area? My husband Tyler and I moved to Hermiston in 2009 when he was offered a teaching position at Stanfield School District. We moved to Stanfield in 2013 to be in the same community where he taught. What is your favorite place to eat in the area? My favorite place to eat in the area is Broken Barrel in Stanfield. They have top notch food and service! What do you like to do in your spare time? Hermiston has a great Parks and Recreation pro- gram. We have been involved with city league sports since we moved here and it’s one of our favorite activ- ities. I also love spending time at our family cabin by Indian Lake. What surprises you about Stanfield? What surprises me most about Stanfield is how many people graduate and then move back. It’s a small community that people feel really connected to. What was the last book you read? The last book I read was Diary of a Wimpy Kid “The Getaway” with my son Phoenix. We laughed throughout the entire book and are looking forward to starting the next one! What app or website do you use most often other than Facebook or Google? I do workforce development, and whether I am work- ing with students or giving a presentation to adults, I always use Prezi. I love the creativity it offers and how easy it is to use. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? I am fascinated by history, so I would love to travel through Europe before World War II. What is the funniest thing that’s happened to you? When I was growing up I got pulled over by a police officer driving a golf cart to the store for an after- noon snack. What is one of your goals for the next 12 months? To have no debt except our mortgage What is your proudest accomplishment? Personally, my proudest accomplishment is my kids Phoenix and Avalyn. They are always surprising me with their unique personalities and passions. Profes- sionally, I would have to say developing new roles at the Port of Morrow. My time at the SAGE Cen- ter was both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Now in Workforce Development, I have the privilege of connecting people to career opportunities avail- able within the Port.

Frederick of the Association of Oregon Industries gives a presentation in Hermiston about tax levies in 1968. 25 YEARS AGO OCT. 19, 1993 In the last week, the idea of sep- arating Irrigon and Boardman high school students has been discussed in the Irrigon city council meeting. Up until 1959, Boardman and Irri- gon had separate schools. Then they consolidated, and for the past three decades students from both commu- nities became identified under one high school in Boardman. But the desire to return schools to each community never died, and when talk of tearing down the 1921 Irrigon school building began, Irri- gon residents began talking about splitting the school system to save the historic site. “I understand the importance of community schools,” said Mor- row County School superintendent Chuck Starr. “There are a lot of pos- itive advantages to each community having its own high schools.” About 53 percent of Riverside High School students live in Irrigon. 50 YEARS AGO OCT. 17, 1968 At their regular meeting Wednes- day, Oct. 9, the Hermiston City Council discussed many subjects on the agenda. Here are a few that are other than routine: As a result of protests from local citizens concerning the placement of the Hermiston section in the phone book, Pacific Northwest Bell has announced they will assemble next year’s telephone directory as they have in the past, and place Hermis- ton at the front of the book, for direc- tories issued in this area. A decision was reached to go ahead with plans for the improve- ment of the Highway 32 within the city limits of Hermiston. Following discussion, it was decided to have the city manager cor- respond with the necessary people advising that signs will be removed November 15 on Highland Avenue and Orchard Avenue at the railroad crossings.

The town now boasts a population of 527 with 164 families now listed on the roster. When completely fin- ished and fully occupied, there will be room for 350 families. The city is conveniently located just south of the main entrance into the Umatilla Ordnance Depot, making it possible for workers to walk to their work. The business section is not com- pletely filled as yet but boasts an up-to-date grocery store and space for several other businesses. These will be occupied as soon as arrange- ments and leases can be made and drawn up, according to Mr. Bliss. 75 YEARS AGO 100 YEARS AGO A group of members of the Herm- iston Chamber of Commerce made an excursion to Ordnance Monday noon at the invitation of D.W. Bliss, manager of Hermiston’s newest neighbor town. The caravan left here at noon and ate at the Umatilla Ord- nance Depot cafeteria from where Right on the eve of peace rumors from Europe, war in the shape of the Spanish influenza broke out in the United States and spread with such rapidity that it struck around Herm- iston in the 11th hour of the hold- ing of the Dairy and Hog Show, and therefore put a quietus on an annual OCT. 21, 1943 OCT. 19, 1918 event that is always heralded with pride and joy by ranchers and citi- zens alike. Elaborate preparations had been made this year by the management of the fair to make the event one that would go down in the annals of Hermiston history as being far more attractive and on a more stupendous scale than that of the five preceding annual Dairy and Hog shows. But the withering hand of a widespread infectious disease had to step in at an inopportune time and put a stop to these well-laid plans that had meant so much to the dairymen, hog raisers and agricultural people of this com- munity, who have yearly taken just pride in exhibiting the products of their farms. But with good grace all bow to the precautionary measures enjoined by a rigid quarantine and agree that the mayor’s proclamation of clos- ing schools, the Movie, abandon- ing church services and stopping all public gatherings is the best method of safeguarding the public against the spread of influenza in this neighborhood.
