Golf tournament tees off for Special Olympics The team of Travis Beers, Jeff Persinger, Dan Mooney and Travis 6FKR¿HOG triumphed over 18 other teams during the Special Olympics fundraising golf tournament. Held Aug. 8 at Echo Hills Golf Course, the event included 76 golfers and raised more than $5,200 for Herm- iston/Pendleton Special Olympics No. 510. The winners scored a 51, due in part to the increasingly popular “Score Enhancement Device,” a red whip that can be used to move the ball closer to the cup. “We were very grateful for the incredible turnout of golfers this year especially since this year our tournament was the same day as the Farm-City Pro Rodeo Tournament,” said event chair Kristi Smalley.

Carob 5 Month Old Terrier/ C hihuahua Mix - a pproximately 5 Lbs Carob is an affectionate and happy guy. He loves to be with people and also loves chasing the bigger dogs around. He runs a million miles an hour around the yard when he is out playing. He's small enough that he will need a fairly secure fence if he is going to be out in a yard. He would make a great companion pup for someone who wants a traveling buddy. He has wiry hair like a terrier, especially around his face and short legs, and will probably mature to under 25 lbs. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations except Rabies.
