NEWS/OPINION A12 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 2019 LETTER Hermiston a patriotic town To the editor: By way of introduction, I purchased Universal Realty in October of 2018, which we now operate the John L Scott Real Estate Franchise in the same location. A few weeks ago I was touring an out of state investor who was looking for land to help address the lack of affordable housing in the area. As we were tour- ing the sites, the investor said, “Look at that.” He was look- ing at an American fl ag in the yard of a resident. As we drove through the city of Hermiston, he would say, “and there is an- other one, and another one, and another one.” Finally, he stated, “ You just do not see that kind of patriotism in California.” I was so proud to hear that statement, I wanted to share it with you. This is one of many reasons we live in rural Amer- ica and do business in Hermis- ton. A proud patriotic commu- nity that shares our same values is why we specifi cally choose the Hermiston community and do business here. Therefore, I wanted to share that your patri- otism is recognized by others as they visit. It is an act all of Hermiston can be proud of. This is one many demonstra- tions by the community which we at John L. Scott Real Estate are so proud to be a part of your/our community.

Staff photo by Jade McDowell The city of Hermiston wants to build a skate park across South First Street from the building housing Hermiston Police Department and Umatilla County Fire District. Skate park plans delayed HERMISTON HERALD Parks and recreation director Larry Fetter had hoped to build a skate park in Hermiston next year, but the project will be delayed at least a year after the city failed to get a grant that would have funded the fi rst phase of the project. “It’s a big disappoint- ment,” Fetter said. He said the city is still committed to creating the “teen adventure park,” which includes a skate park in the fi rst phase and a sec- ond phase that would add a BMX bike track, parkour station, climbing rock and more. It will be located on South First Place across the street from the police station and fi re station. The original plan was to use a $250,000 grant from state lottery funds to build the fi rst phase next spring, then win a second grant next year to build the sec- ond phase. Now, the city will have to look for alter- nate funding sources. Fetter said there are two grants he can apply for next spring that could be used as matching dollars against each other. If the city gets those grants, it could start construction of the teen adventure park during the fall of 2020. Fetter said depending on funding, both phases may be built at the same time.
