Page 6A RECORDS East Oregonian Echo man faces child porn charges By PHIL WRIGHT East Oregonian An Echo man pleaded not guilty this week to five counts of child pornography. Jarvis Donald Buck, 38, of 140 N. Prescott St., Echo, remains in the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton, in lieu of $56,000 bail. He faces five counts of first-de- gree encouraging child sexual abuse. Umatilla County Circuit Court records show a grand jury on Feb. 2 indicted Buck on the charges after finding in June 2015 he possessed five visual recordings of sexually explicit conduct involving children. His arrest came Tuesday, when members of the local Blue Mountain Enforcement Narcotics Team conducted a sweep of offenders on the west end of Umatilla County. Pendleton Police Chief Stuart Roberts, head of the team’s board of directors, said the arrests stemmed from warrants or indictments and were to close a number of cases before a Hermiston police detective rotated out of the team. In addition to the illegal pornography charges, the online jail information shows police arrested Buck for possession of methamphetamine. Court records show Jarvis has criminal cases in Eastern Oregon going back to 1999, with convictions for burglary in 2000, 2002 and 2006, furnishing alcohol to a minor in 2001, and driving under the influence of intox- icants in 2013. His next hearing in circuit court is March 6. Police during the sweep also made the following arrests: • Jerardo Pedro Sital, 18, of 31026 Joy Lane, Hermiston, for possession of methamphetamine and on a warrant for failure to appear; • Jermaine Royce Thomas, 36, of 220 N.W. 14th St., Pendleton, for possession of methamphet- amine, possession of heroin, and frequenting a place where controlled substances are used; • Eric Shannon Pennington, 48, of 420 S.E. Fourth St. Hermiston, for possession and delivery of methamphetamine and on a warrant for failure to appear. Hermiston School District responds to false claim about protest backlash East Oregonian Reports circulated on Facebook Friday that a teacher at Hermiston’s Armand Larive Middle School refused to let students who missed school for Thursday’s “Day without Immigrants” make up a test — but district officials said they found the claims to be false after investigating. “There’s no truth to that,” said Assistant Super- intendent Tricia Mooney. “I personally looked into that situation. It came out of a Facebook post that was then taken down by the poster.” Mooney said the district’s policy is that students who miss school for an excused absence can make up quizzes or tests during classtime, but those who have unexcused absences have to make it up during their own time. But she said in no scenario are students prohibited from making up missed exams. “The district heard from one parent, and that parents said there were other parents who chose not to come forward,” Mooney said. “The person who’s currently posting is not even an Armand Larive Middle School parent.” Many students were absent from Hermiston and other Umatilla County schools yesterday, partici- pating in the “Day Without Immigrants” protest — where immigrants and their families stayed home, with the goal of showing the impact and presence immi- grants have throughout the community. Many employers and others were supportive of the protest, but some were upset by it as well, including shoppers who were taken aback by the unexpected closing of stores.

Perry, Chief Operating Officer of EO Media Group, said the award recognizes the hard work and innovation of the digital team and its collaboration with the advertising staff at Capital Press. “Our small team competed against much larger media companies with far more resources,” he said. “That makes the award even sweeter.” Marketplace has been operating with http:// marketplace.capitalpress. com since December 2015.
