HERMISTON
Fire crew extricates two from rollover
East Oregonian
Hermiston Fire & Emergency
Services extricated two people from a
car after it crashed on Umatilla River
Road Thursday morning.
Chief Scott Stanton said the
single-vehicle
rollover
crash
happened about 5 a.m. near where the
road intersects with Bensel Road. One
person was able to crawl out of the
overturned car and two more had to
be extricated by the ¿re department.
The two trapped passengers were
then transported to Good Shepherd
Medical Center.
He said initial reports indicate the
vehicle strayed off the road and then
overcorrected, causing the vehicle to
drive off the other side of the road and
roll over into the brush.
He said ambulances and a rescue
crew were on scene within seven
minutes of the 9-1-1 call and had the
entire scene cleared in 40 minutes.

Pendleton Early Learning
Center to get ‘soft start’
East Oregonian
Despite initial concerns that the Pendleton
Early Learning Center wouldn’t be ready to
open for students this fall, kindergarten will
start with every other grade Aug. 31 — just a
little more softly.
The Pendleton School District announced
Thursday that kindergarten students will start
the year with a “soft start.”
During the ¿rst week of school — from
Aug. 31 through Sept. 3 — kindergartners will
be assigned a single day to go to school.
“We believe the soft start will provide many
bene¿ts for our kindergartners and teachers,”
Center Principal Lori Hale said in a statement.
“It will allow our students to adjust to the school
environment in a small class setting, tour the
school, experience a full day with lunch and
begin making connections with the Pendleton
Early Learning Center staff.”
Kindergarten’s full-time schedule will begin
Sept. 8. Kindergarten parents will receive a
letter with more information on the start dates
in August.
East Oregonian
The Irrigon man facing
manslaughter
charges
and
more related to the death of his
10-month-old daughter
no longer has a trial on
the docket.
Travis Martin, 21,
had a hearing Thursday
in Morrow County
Circuit Court, Heppner.
Martin appeared via
video from the Umatilla
County Jail, Pendleton,
according to court Martin
records, and defense
attorney Robert Klahn
of Pendleton told the court he
was still waiting for investigative
reports.
Court records show Martin
waived his right to a speedy trial
on June 26. Circuit Judge Lynn
Hampton removed Martin’s case
from the trial docket and set the
next hearing for Sept. 10.
The state has accused
Martin of harming his
daughter,
Savannah,
on multiple occasions,
including slamming the
infant to the Àoor the
night of May 27. The
girl died the next day
after an air ambulance
rushed her to a Spokane
children’s hospital.
Martin has been
in jail since his arrest
on May 29. He has pleaded not
guilty to charges of criminal
mistreatment,
assault
and
manslaughter.
