Bernard Wilbur “Bernie” Carper was born February 11, 1932, in La Grande, Oregon, to parents Roy Wilbur and Eunice Jane (Courtney) Carper. He died Thursday, October 20, 2016, at his home in Hermiston, Oregon, at the age of 84. Bernie was raised in Promise, Oregon, and moved to Wallowa, Oregon, in high school and gradu- ated from Wallowa High, class of 1950. He enlisted Carper in the U.S. Air Force in 1952 and served until his discharge in 1956. On April 5, 1953, he married his high school sweetheart Kathryn Mae McKenzie at the home of the bride’s parents in Wallowa. Bernie, who was in the Air Force stationed in Chandler, Arizona, came home for a few days for the wedding and then the newlyweds moved to Arizona. After high school he worked for the Wallowa County Chieftain newspaper as a linotype operator, discovering that he really enjoyed the newspaper business as he continued to talk about many years later. He carried his newspaper skills with him to work at the Paciic Stars and Stripes newspaper while serving in the Air Force and stationed in Japan, and again with the Mesa Tribune while stationed in Arizona. After the service, Bernie attended Eastern Oregon College in La Grande and then attended and graduated from Oregon State Univer- sity School of Pharmacy in 1962. Bernie worked as a pharmacist for over 42 years, oficially retiring in 1997 but he also continued to work when needed for the next 11 years. His irst job was in Salem, Oregon, and then he moved to Hermiston in 1963 where he was the owner/ operator of Moore & Ripley Drug Store in Hermiston for 22 years, 14 years partnered with his wife Kathy. The couple sold the business in 1986 to Payless Drug, where Bernie continued to work until his retirement. After his retirement he occasionally worked at Murray’s Drug Store in Heppner, Oregon, until 2008. Bernie jokingly stated in an interview with the East Oregonian newspaper in 2008 that his chose pharmacy over journalism because journalism would have forced him to attend the University of Oregon, where the devoted OSU Beavers fan clearly stated, “No, I don’t want to go there.” During his years as a businessman he was very active in his community and received many awards for personal and professional dedication to his community and career. He received the Hermiston Chamber of Commerce Busi- ness Man of the Year award in 1974, Retailer of the Year in 1984, 1969 Hermiston Jaycees Distinguished Service Award and in 1979 he was named president of the Oregon Phar- macy Association. He received the Pharmacy Leadership Award for 1978- 1979 from the National Association of Retail Drug- gists. In 1969 he received the AH Robbins Award for Outstanding Community Service in Pharmacy. Bernie served as chairman of the Hermiston City Planning Commission from 1975-1997. He was recognized by the city of Hermiston for providing 29 years to the planning commission. He was on the Budget Committee from 1966-1968, and the Planning Commission from 1971- 1997. Bernie was an elder and long-time member of the First Christian Church in Hermiston, and a lifetime member of the Masonic Lodge #138. He was also a member of the Kiwanis Club, where he served as president in 1967. Bernie enjoyed hunting, ishing, trap shooting, RV camping, watching his chil- dren, nieces and nephews play sports and he loved the Oregon State University Beavers. He was preceded in death by his parents and his son-in-law Gary Lovell. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Kathryn of Hermiston; children Steve Carper of Moses Lake, Wash., Carolleen Lovell of Hermiston and Jeff Carper and his iancé Warrine, from whom he also acquired one great-granddaughter, Kalissa Cambell of Hermiston; and brother Vernon Carper and his wife Fay of Lewiston, Idaho.

The sheriff’s ofice in a written statement reported deputy John Reitz responded to a residential burglary complaint at about 6:30 p.m. Thursday at 2020 N.W. 11th St., Hermiston. The owner reported no one was supposed to be in the house. Reitz went in and encountered Edwin Roy Johnson, 52, of Hermiston The suspect refused to obey Reitz and ran down a hallway. Reitz chased and reached Johnson, who, according to the sheriff’s ofice, “turned and took a ighting stance against the deputy.” Reitz tackled Johnson, and after a brief scufle took him into custody. The sheriff’s ofice also stated Reitz found Johnson was in possession of several items of the victim’s property. Reitz, though, suffered a cut on his left hand from hitting a picture frame with glass, the sheriff’s ofice reported. He received four stitches to close the wound at Good Shepherd Medical Center, Hermiston. Deputies Nathan Rankin, Loren West- moreland and Trevor Limburg, and Hermiston police oficers helped at the scene. Johnson is in the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton, on initial charges of irst-degree burglary, irst-degree theft, assaulting a public safety oficer, resisting arrest and a warrant for contempt of court. The sheriff’s ofice also reported the case is under further investigation. Umatilla County Circuit Court records show Johnson has convictions for burglary, theft and more going back to 1988. Man pleads guilty to attacking woman, oficer HERMISTON — Richard David Taylor of Hermiston is looking at more than seven years in prison after pleading guilty to stabbing a woman and attacking a cop. Hermiston police and emergency services in March responded to a domestic disturbance on the 1300 block of West Sunland Avenue, Hermiston, according to Hermiston police. Para- medics at the scene treated a 41-year-old woman with a stab wound to her neck. Police searched the neighborhood and arrested Taylor. Taylor damaged the patrol car en route to the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton, and also tried to choke Hermiston police Cpl. Doug Gill with a seatbelt. The Umatilla County District Attorney’s Ofice charged Taylor with attempted murder and more. Court records show he cut a deal on Sept. 26 to avoid such a serious charge and pleaded guilty to the following: irst-degree assault; unlawful use of a weapon against another; second-degree attempted escape; and attempt to assault a public safety oficer. Taylor remains in the county jail, and court records do not show a date for his sentencing. But his plea deal petition shows he agreed to serve at least seven-and-half years in prison, which is Oregon’s mandatory minimum sentence for irst-degree assault. ——— Briefs are compiled from staff and wire reports, and press releases.
