Ixtapa. I’m a huge fan of Mexican food.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I love to play volleyball, and I like to read.
What surprises you about Hermiston?
I think the sense of community we have. It still feels
like a small town even though it’s getting bigger.
What was the last book you read?
“The Sun and Her Flowers,” by Rupi Kaur.
What app or website do you use most?
Probably Snapchat.
If you could travel anywhere, where would you
go?

What is the funniest thing that’s happened to
you?
Last year our stand went to the Walla Walla Corn
Maze, and I peed my pants because it was so scary.
What is one of your goals for the next 12
months?
To make progress here. And I’m getting married, so
to plan a wedding.
What is your proudest accomplishment?
Probably becoming manager here. I’ve been working
here since high school, so it’s my first and only job.
I’m pretty proud of it.

25 YEARS AGO
NOV. 9, 1993
The old artemisia fac-
tory on the Umatilla
County Fairgrounds, a
Hermiston fixture for most
of its history, has fallen to
the wrecker’s ball.
“There’s a lot of rotten
in it,” fairgrounds main-
tenance man Doug Moyer
said of the wood-frame
structure. “If she ever
caught fire, she’d take out
that whole city block.”
It was the scene of a
small electrical fire during
last summer’s fair.
The almost 65-year-
old building was used as
storage for the fair for the
last several years. It also
housed a small shop. Orig-
inally, the building was
home to a small factory that
made a remedy for round-
worm out of artemisia, a
family of aromatic herbs
that includes sagebrush.
• The possibility of a
closed Hermiston High
School campus became less
of a reality Tuesday night
after four of seven school
board members said they
would not recommend the
idea based on the results of
a feasibility study.
The board took no action
on the matter, but decided
to keep the issue open for
discussion at future meet-
ings if the public supported
a closed campus policy.

In a presidential race
that will go down in history
as the closest popular vote
ever, Republican Richard
M. Nixon defeated Hubert
H. Humphrey with the piv-
otal state, Illinois, adding
26 electoral votes to Nix-
on’s 261 and boosting his
total to 287, giving him 17
more votes than the magic
270 needed to wrap up the
election.
Had none of the con-
tenders reached the 270
electoral mark, then by fed-
eral law the election would
be thrown into the House of
Representatives. The see-
saw battle election night
saw Nixon and Humphrey
slugging it out toe to toe
with popular vote percent-

ages at 43 percent each,
while George Wallace mud-
died the water with 14 per-
cent. For this reason alone,
the cause for election of a
president by popular vote
instead of the electoral col-
lege system has perhaps
gained strength.
Nixon will have with
him as number two man
in the White House Spiro
T. Agnew of Maryland, a
lawyer of Greek parents
labeled as a dynamic lib-
eral in political circles.

“No, we have no coal
and we don’t know just
when we will get any,”
was the reply coal buyers
received this week from
local fuel dealers.
The situation is no
laughing matter as many
residents failed to take heed
during the summer months
when at lest two carloads
of coal were sent down
the tracks because no stor-
age space was available.
The past week saw several
nights of quite cold weather
and serious thought should
be given towards preparing
for the months ahead.
• The Umatilla Ordi-
nance Depot has boosted
its payroll deduction for
the purchase of War Sav-
ings Bonds very materially.
Several departments saw
100 percent participation
so far. Many of the divi-
sions are over the 10 per-
cent deduction goal and the
goal of the Depot is to get
everyone participating in
the payroll savings at least
10 percent.
We are glad to see those
who can put most or all of
their checks into bonds do
so. Those who can and do
put their salaries into bonds
are to be commended. On
the other hand, we remem-
bers that our boys at the
front have no choice as to
whether they will fight; we
have the freedom to choose
our work, our place of
work and what we do with
our money. Let us back our
boys and put all we can into
bonds.

There was not much
interest shown in the city
election on the part of vot-
ers Tuesday, the state ticket
being the luring object.
Thus it was that only 31
votes were cast, but they
were sufficient to put back
in the mayoralty and alder-
manic chairs six mem-
bers of the present coun-
cil, with B.F. Knapp added
as the seventh member. He
was elected in place of A.L.
Larson, who in turn was
elected treasurer to suc-
ceed F.A. Phelps. Several
ladies were honored with
complimentary votes, there
being 10 of the 31 scattered
around thusly.
• How many of the read-
ers of this paper have a
brother, a son or a rela-
tive in the army? Nearly
all the readers have. Do
you want to see him choke
to death or burn his lungs
out as a result of a Ger-
man gas attack? No, not if
in your power to prevent.
All right then, it is within
your power to prevent, says
M.C. Shrock, county agri-
cultural agent.
The American army gas
mask is the most effec-
tive mask made. No deaths
have resulted when masks
were properly applied. It
is the shortage of material
with which to make these
gas masks that prompts this
appeal to you.
Charcoal made from
coconut shells was for-
merly used as an absorbent
for the poisonous element.
But the gas defense divi-
sion have used up all of the
available supply of coconut
shells. They must resort to
other hard nut shells.
Peach pits, prune pits
and walnuts seem unim-
portant things to us at
home, but to the boys in
the trenches and to the war
department they are vital.
Gather all you can and
bring or send them to the
Red Cross headquarters.
