REGION Wednesday, July 5, 2017 East Oregonian STANFIELD Page 3A BRIEFLY Celebration draws crowd from all over EO welcomes UO By PHIL WRIGHT East Oregonian Stanfield’s Fourth of July parade could well have the most candy per entry of any parade in the county. Candy flew from motor- cycles, floats and fire engines, and the moment any struck asphalt, children — and some adults — pounced on the sweets like kittens after a laser light. Unlike the kittens, these youngsters came away with their paws full. Justin and Maggie Carter of Hermiston brought their three children to the parade. They were among hundreds lining Stanfield’s streets for the spectacle. The young couple said they have been parade regulars for the past seven years. “I think any times kids can run out in the road and not get yelled at,” Maggie Carter said, “they’ll take it.” Maria Wyckoff, 32, said she has lived in Stanfield since she was 6, and the parade has always been a local favorite, drawing folks from Echo and Hermiston. And in recent years, she said, it seems the crowd has swelled. The big reason for the success of the celebration, she said, is the buy-in from the citizens and local businesses. The event is a community effort. Stanfield City Manager Blair Larsen was part of that. He volunteered at the raffle tent at Bard Park, where most of the day’s festivities took place, including bounce houses for children, the Stan- field Slam three-on-three basketball tournament, and student intern Olson By East Oregonian Staff photo by Phil Wright Jagjot Singh, 11, of Stanfield, waddles through the canal Tuesday afternoon during the duck race at Stanfield’s Bard Park for the city’s 4th of July celebration. Staff photo by Phil Wright Gymnastic displays of patriotism were some of the crowd favorites Tuesday morning during the parade at Stanfield’s annual 4th of July celebration. the plastic duck race in the canal next to the park. He said the steak feed the night before did not draw as many people as usual, but the park was filled after the parade. Larsen said the money from the raffle goes to paying for next year’s Fourth of July celebration, while the plastic duck race splits profits between the celebration fund and the Stanfield High School boys basketball team. Martha McClusky of Hermiston also spoke to the Stanfield’s community attitude. She’s the owner and manager of the Broken Barrel, the bar and grill at 120 Coe Ave. Stanfield. McClusky opened the establishment last October and offers local wines, craft beers and hard-to-beat burgers, and Tuesday she said they must have sold a hundred ice pops. Business has been good, she said, with solid local support. “I just see so much poten- tial for this little town,” she said. Oregon State Police reported troopers arrested one local intoxicated driver who crashed into a yard and another who was driving with her infant in the backseat. The two were among several police nabbed for driving under the influence of intoxicants, some with more than alcohol in their system. Trooper Wesley Linhart at about 11:40 p.m. Friday tried to stop a green GMC pickup for speeding on Highway 339 though Milton-Freewater. State police reported the trooper saw the vehicle run a stop sign and hit 78 mph in a 55 mph zone. When the pickup stopped, Linhart reported the driver was intoxicated and there were open containers in the vehicle. A Milton-Freewater police officer translated for the trooper. The driver, Carlos Madrigal Garcia, 25, of Milton-Freewater, would not take sobriety tests, and the trooper took him to the Milton-Freewater Police Department, where he gave a breath sample that showed his blood-alcohol level was .19 percent. The legal limit is .08 percent. The trooper took him to the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton, where officers found Madrigal Garcia had a substance that a field test showed was cocaine. He admitted to using cocaine an hour before driving, state police reported. Police booked Madrigal Garcia into the jail for DUII, reckless driving, possession of cocaine and not having a driver’s license. Almost an hour earlier, a driver crashed a Kia SUV into railroad ties in the yard at 1710 S.W. 10th St., Herm- iston. State police arrested Kimberly Dawn Haigh, 45, Stanfield, for DUII (alcohol) reckless driving and third-de- gree criminal mischief. State police reported her blood alcohol level was .22 percent. Trooper Linhart at about 8 p.m. Saturday caught a speeding Toyota Yaris at the intersection of highways 339 and 332, Milton-Freewater. According to state police, Audalliz Melida Nunez, 18, of Milton-Freewater, admitted to smoking the drug, apologized and told the trooper: “I am just really high.” She also, according to state police, had her infant in the backseat. Linhart cited Nunez for DUII (controlled substances), minor in possession of alcohol while operating a vehicle, and minor in posses- sion of marijuana while oper- ating a vehicle, and released her to relatives. State police also arrested the following for DUII: • Jeffery Sparks, 35, address not available. His blood-al- cohol level was .18 percent. • Matthew David McQuin, 44, address not available.
