COMMUNITY WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 2019 HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A7 Construction to cause temporary closures on Theater Lane BY HERMISTON HERALD Drivers will experiences disruptions along East The- ater Lane during the month of May as the city lays down a new water main as part of its $4.1 million water tower project. The work will begin May 6 and is expected to con- tinue through May 24. It will be broken up into four phases. During Phase 1, East Theater Lane will be fully closed between North- east Second and Northeast Fourth streets, although the intersection at Northeast Fourth will remain open. The closure is expected to be in place during the week of May 6. During Phase 2, East The- ater will be closed between Northeast Fourth and North- east Alora Drive during the week of May 13, with the intersection at Northeast Fourth closed long enough to complete work across it. During Phase 3, East The- ater will be closed between Northeast Alora and North- east Eighth Street, with a brief closure of the Alora intersection, for about a week following the comple- tion of the fi rst two phases. During Phase 4, East Theater will be closed between Northeast Eighth and Northeast 10th streets, with a brief closure of the Eighth Street intersection. The closure is expected to last until May 24.

Java Junkies to open Stanfi eld location By JADE MCDOWELL NEWS EDITOR Staff photo by Jade McDowell Seniors enjoy lunch at the Harkenrider Senior Activity Center in Hermiston on Friday. Senior center meals increased to fi ve a week By JADE MCDOWELL NEWS EDITOR The Harkenrider Senior Activity Center is now serv- ing fi ve meals per week. The senior center in Hermiston had previously served lunch Tuesdays and Thursdays, but expanded to all weekdays starting May 1. On Friday, about 15 seniors were enjoying a meal together. Tuesdays and Thursdays usually see any- where from 40 to 100 meals served, but senior center members said they expect the numbers to start picking up on other days of the week as word spreads and people adjust their schedules. “It’s been hit and miss,” cook Karen Blair said. Beve Dahlin said she was enjoying the chance to get out and socialize over lunch more days of the week. She said she thought it was a par- ticularly good opportunity for widowers who had trou- ble cooking for themselves, and hoped to see more men there in the future. She was eating with senior center board presi- dent Irene Miller, who said she knows not everyone can come fi ve days a week but the senior center board wanted people to have that option. “I hope that it will grow,” she said. “That’s our dream.” In the kitchen, Blair was serving up a meal of soup or salad with a sandwich and slice of cake, with the help of her “right arm” Mariza Sharpe. While Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thurs- days feature a rotating menu of items like meatloaf and plenty of sides, they plan to stick to a salad bar every Monday and sandwiches on Friday with a choice of two soups. The social aspect of senior center meals is important, but Blair said it also helps seniors save money. “You can’t go anywhere for $4 for lunch,” she said. Meals at the Harken- rider Center are now served noon to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday to seniors age 60 or older and their guests. Meals on Wheels also delivers food on Tues- days and Thursdays to seniors who call 541-567- 3582 before 10 a.m. to request it. Meals are $4. A popular Umatilla cof- fee shop is adding a Stan- fi eld location. Java Junkies plans to open sometime in early June at 270 S. Main St. in Stanfi eld. The building formerly housed the Lucky Jam Barn. Vickie Borden, who owns Java Junkies with her daughter Donna Griggs, said Stanfi eld residents have been very supportive of the news so far. “We’re totally excited,” she said. “The outpouring we’re getting from the com- munity has been amazing.” Their announcement on Facebook was greeted by more than 230 likes and comments from people who promised to become regulars. The new location will feature a drive-through M A K R A V N E L O H P Thanks to modern technology and industry-leading expertise, Phonak is able to bring you the best possible solutions for your hearing needs MORE WINNERS.

The menu will include the same drinks, breakfast burri- tos, sandwiches and other items as the Umatilla loca- tion. Java Junkies also has a drive-through-only coffee location in Irrigon. Borden said the Stanfi eld shop will likely have the same hours as the Umatilla location. Those are Mon- day through Friday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Satur- days from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. She said they are still hiring for the Stanfi eld location and have openings in Umatilla.
