HERMISTON HISTORY
MARIANGELA SUMMERS
Media Assistant,
Armand Larive Middle School
When and why did you move to Hermiston?
I moved to Hermiston in 2002 from Brazil because
I had met my husband who lives here.
What is your favorite place to eat in
Hermiston?
I like a lot of places, but I would say Ixtapa is my
favorite.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I like to make holiday cards and I love getting
together with friends. I will always fi nd an excuse
to do so.
What surprises you about Hermiston?
First, how small it is since I come from the big city
of São Paulo. But mostly, how friendly and wel-
coming the people of Hermiston are really sur-
prises me. They always have a smile on their face
and I felt very welcomed when I moved here.
What was the last book you read/are cur-
rently reading?
“The Shack” by William P. Young. I fi rst read it in
Portuguese, but then I decided to read it in English
because I liked the book that much.
What app or website do you use most other
than Facebook or Google?
Pinterest. But lately, I’ve been using Instagram
a lot more to promote Armand Larive’s Kind-
ness Club through it. I know that the younger gen-
eration uses it more than Facebook, so in order
to reach out to them, I created a Kindness Club
page on there so that the students could be more
involved.
If you could travel anywhere, where would
you go?
The fi rst place that comes to mind is Brazil, of
course, because I miss my family and friends. But
Thailand would be the other place I would love to
visit someday.
What is the funniest thing that’s happened
to you?
One of the fi rst times I went to a restaurant in the
U.S. I was asked by the waitress if I wanted soup
or salad. With my English not being very good at
the time and with her speaking fast, I said to her,
“I don’t even like salad, I can’t imagine what a
‘super salad’ would be like!” Let’s just say that
everyone at the table laughed.
What is one of your goals for the next 12
months?
A goal of mine is to visit my daughter more often
in Portland where she is going to college. Also to
go to Brazil is another goal since I have not been
back in two years.
What is your proudest accomplishment?
Recently, it was being part of the Penny War at
Armand Larive that was such a success. Not only
were we able to reach our money goal, but we also
reached the goal of spreading kindness around.
That’s what really matters.

25 YEARS AGO
April 5, 1994
Hermiston’s new auto impound
ordinance is working very well,
Police Chief Grant Asher said.
“So far, we haven’t had too
many problems,” he said. “As word
gets out on the street that the cops
will tow you for no insurance, it’s
going to make one or two go and
get insurance.”
The ordinance allows the city to
impound a car if the driver lacks
insurance or a valid driver’s license.
Though it was passed several
months ago, police started enforc-
ing the ordinance less than a month
ago, he said.
“We’ve towed about 20 of
them,” Asher said. “We’re towing
about one a day.”
50 YEARS AGO
April 3, 1969
Jack Stewart, formerly associ-
ated with the family chain of Stew-
art’s supermarkets in Umatilla
County, has purchased Ole’s Dine
and Dance Club on South First
Street.
The club, named Ole’s after the
former owner, Hayden Olson, has
been at its present location for over
two decades, and was known as the
Vet’s Club before Olson took over the
business approximately 20 years ago.
Stewart, who has been in the
wholesale food distributing business
the past six years in Arizona, said he
has no immediate remodeling plans
for the business which presently con-
tains approximately 4,000 square feet
of fl oor space.
75 YEARS AGO
April 6, 1944
Members of the Hermiston Amer-
ican Legion Auxiliary have contrib-
uted $10 toward the purchase of two
clubmobiles which are special trucks
equipped to carry “creature com-
forts” to the men on the front lines.
The money has been sent to the state
offi ce which in turn will be forwarded
to the national auxiliary offi ce. A total
of $948 has been contributed by 78
auxiliaries in Oregon.
It will cost $21,000 to fi nance
one Clubmobile Unit per year and
the national auxiliary is planning to
purchase two of these affairs. These
specially-equipped trucks carry cig-
arettes, doughnuts, coffee, candy,
writing material, phonograph music,
etc. to the men who are fi ghting at the

front.
2) Irrigation water in Hermiston
will be started this weekend west of
the tracks but east-siders will have
to wait until next week when work-
ers will complete extensive repairs on
the “K” line just east of town.
The prospects for suffi cient water
on this project are quite bright but the
outlook in many other parts of east-
ern Oregon is quite dismal due to the
light snowfall and other precipitation
in the mountains this winter. Espe-
cially discouraging is the situation
on Butter Creek, where the fl ow is
expected to be far below normal.
100 YEARS AGO
April 5, 1919
The lure of spending an enjoy-
able evening attending a Hawaiian
troupe show in Echo Tuesday eve-
ning was the reason for a couple of
Hermiston’s charming young ladies
and two prominent local men engag-
ing to make up a theatre party. At
the appointed hour for departure the
girls, all primped and dressed in their
best raiment, sat in the parlor of the
parental home — and there they sat
for an hour awaiting the appearance
of their escorts.
Imagine their chagrin and con-
sternation when the Beau Brommells
appeared and informed them that they
had been unable to secure an auto
after having scoured the town for an
hour in an endeavor to get one.
The sorrow of the swains over not
being able to fulfi ll their part of the
agreement counted for naught with
the now-haughty young ladies, who
at once surmised that they were the
recipients of an April Fool’s joke, and
on the spur of an angry moment bade
the two crestfallen young men harken
to the voice of wisdom and betake
themselves from their presence.
But they — the girls — are sorry
now, for since then they have discov-
ered that the penitents were telling
the truth, and as a result steps are now
being taken by a few matchmakers to
have the dove of peace hover once
again over these forlorn couples.
2) Minors will from now on run
chances of being arrested if they are
caught smoking cigarettes. This is
a warning issued by Chief of Police
Crandall, who was instructed by the
council at the meeting last Wednes-
day evening to enforce the state law
after Rev. Gallaher had appeared
before that body and entered com-
plaint against allowing the continu-
ance of this habit among the young-
sters of the community.

A fourth grade student
from North Carolina is
seeking information about
the state of Oregon for a
research project. Tiffany
Shontz is hoping Herm-
iston Herald readers will
send items such as post-
cards, maps, pictures, gen-
eral information or any
other item that might be
useful.
“Most of the informa-

books and websites. How-
ever, the best information
comes from the people who
live in and love their state,”
Shontz wrote
She asked that peo-
ple mail items by April 30
so she can fi nish her proj-
ect report prior to May 17.
