NORTHWEST East Oregonian Page 2A Tuesday, August 23, 2016 Eastern Oregon wildire grows to 50 square miles Report says Pasco should hire more Spanish-speaking cops PASCO, Wash. (AP) — The Pasco Police Department should take steps to ensure all oficers speak some Spanish, improve the training of oficers to deal with mentally ill people, and hire more Span- ish-speaking oficers in the wake of last year’s shooting of a man with a history of mental illness that sparked protests in the city, a training group recommended. The recommendations were released Monday by the Police Executive Research Forum, which was asked by the U.S. Department of Justice to study the shooting in the central Washington city. The report recommended that the police department fully embrace the concept of community policing, provide more opportunities for ofi- cers to learn Spanish, attract more Spanish-speaking oficers and provide oficers with an understanding of cultural diversity and the role of implicit bias in policing. “While the guidance in this report is speciic to Pasco, much of it can also be applied to police agencies across the nation that are facing chal- lenges similar to Pasco’s,” the report said. The report noted an upheaval in policing since 2014, when protests broke out over the police shooting of a black man in Ferguson, Missouri. Antonio Zambra- no-Montes, an orchard worker from Mexico, was shot and killed as he threw rocks at police at a busy downtown intersection in February 2015.

An autopsy showed he had methamphetamine in his system. He also had a history of mental illness and previous interactions with police. Cellphone video of the shooting went viral and led to weeks of peaceful protests in the city along the Columbia River.

The state’s Department of Revenue says medical marijuana dispensaries happen by next year. Medical marijuana dispensaries started collecting a 25 percent tax on their recreational marijuana sales in January. Anticipated state revenue from recreational marijuana through June 2017 was recently quadrupled by Oregon’s Legislative Revenue Ofice.

Oficials on Sunday did not release details on which ires were started by arsonists, but they are urging the public to report suspicious activity. KTVZ-TV reports that authorities say it’s too early to tell if one or several people have been starting the ires. The Bend TV station and KOIN-TV in Portland did say oficials have determined arson is to blame for the southern Oregon ire that has scorched more than 5 square miles. The blaze near Paisley, which started Wednesday, was reported to be about 65 percent contained Sunday.

The Oregonian/Oregon Live reports that ire inves- tigators believe 70-year-old Dominic Decarlo, of Days Creek, and 64-year-old Cloyd Deardorff, of Yuma, Arizona, used their lawnmowers during hours prohibited by ire restrictions when the blaze started July 30, 2015. Kyle Reed with the Douglas Forest Protective Association says the men were cited for unlawful use of ire. Decarlo paid $110 in ines and Deardorff paid $440. But Oregon also holds individuals inancially responsible for ire suppression costs. The men could not be reached for comment. Bonebrake says people can challenge the costs or their responsibility in the ire. The East Oregonian works hard to be accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

Fire oficials say the Cherry Road ire has scorched nearly 50 square miles of brush and grass near the Idaho state line. Oficials say the ire’s size was reduced from 80 square miles due to better mapping. Bureau of Land Manage- ment spokesman Larry Moore says the wildire is burning two miles east of the Owyhee Reservoir and it’s threatening Succor Creek State Park. One hundred ireighters battled the ire Monday morning. Forecasters were expecting afternoon wind gusts of 25 mph. The cause of the ire has yet to be determined. Also in Eastern Oregon, ireighters have contained 35 percent of a large wildire that started July 31 near Unity. The ire made a run toward the Table Rock Lookout late Sunday, spreading 300 yards in one minute. The lookout was spared — thanks to it being wrapped beforehand with aluminum sheets— but an old outhouse was destroyed. Ryan Flanagan and Adam Wright in the shooting. The parents of Zambra- no-Montes have iled a lawsuit in federal court contending the oficers used excessive force. That case is scheduled for trial next May. Several other lawsuits have also been iled. Oficers Wright and Alaniz have returned to work. Flanagan has since left the department. After the shooting, the Justice Department asked the Police Executive Research Forum to provide training and technical assistance to Pasco police. The group has already conducted training for Pasco police, including a program to focus on building relationships between police and commu- nity members. The police department was also urged to develop a social media presence in both English and Spanish. The report also found that community policing must be promoted despite competing concerns so that police can better deal with the city’s various communities. In a statement Pasco City Manager Dave Zabell said the report will help the depart- ment and community move forward. “The department has been awaiting the publication of the report in order to complete contemplated policy updates, and the department has been holding off on signiicant updates for several months so that these recommendations can be considered as part of the update process,” Zabell said.
