REGION East Oregonian Page 2A Saturday, July 22, 2017 HERMISTON BRIEFLY All-stars raising money for trip to San Jose Pendleton senior living center wins national award By TAMMY MALGESINI East Oregonian The Hermiston Junior Baseball Team is asking the community to step up to the plate. Earlier this month, the Hermiston Little League team, which plays in the 13-14 age division, won the Oregon District 3 Tournament in John Day. Then, the team took the championship trophy at the Oregon State Little League Tournament July 15-18 in Bend. In addition to the state title, the win makes the team eligible for the West Regional Tournament, which is July 31 to Aug. 7 in San Jose. The expenses for the trip are antic- ipated to be fairly high, said Kelly Schwirse, wife of manager Jeff Schwirse, and the team is looking to raise $20,000 within the week. The goal is to raise enough money to pay for transportation, lodging and meals for the entire team. Due to the short timeframe, Schwirse said coordinating fund- raising events has been difficult. Members of the team are donning their uniforms and canvasing their neighborhoods, hoping to get dona- tions from family and friends. The once-in-a-lifetime experience features televised games on ESPN3, as they play other teams from across the western United States. Their first game is Tuesday, Aug. 1 at 2 p.m. The winner of the tournament in San Jose will go on to the Junior World Series. Jeff Schwirse has been involved at the coaching level with the all-stars for 14 seasons. While he’s taken three other teams to the state PENDLETON — McKay Creek Estates of Pendleton received a national award for the quality of its care. Prestige Care Inc., a provider of senior living and skilled nursing and rehabilitation care, announced the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living recognized McKay Creek as a top provider of quality care with the 2017 bronze-level Commitment to Quality Award. The bronze distinction is one of three progressive award levels under the National Quality Award program to recognize communities nationwide that have demonstrated a commitment to improving the quality of care for seniors and persons with disabilities, according to the announcement. Harold Delamarter, founding partner and CEO of Prestige Care, said in the statement, “It’s rewarding to see McKay Creek Estates be recognized for the high standards of care that we uphold across all of our centers and communities.” McKay Creek joins 49 other Prestige Care locations that have earned recognition through the award program, which offers recognition at three levels. Each level requires a more detailed and comprehensive demonstration of quality integration and performance. As a bronze-level winner, McKay Creek Estates now is eligible to apply for silver-level recognition, the next step in the three-tiered program. The American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living will present the awards during an annual convention and exposition Oct. 15-18 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The team is raising money for the West Regional Tournament, which is July 31 to Aug. 7 in San Jose. tournament, Kelly Schwirse said this is the first time a team has brought home the big trophy. The coaching staff also includes Ladd Edmiston and Tyler Schwirse. A core group of six players — Sam Schwirse, Rustin Edmiston, Carter Tolan, Spencer Juul, Gavin Hunter and Ethin Randolph — have taken the field together since 2013 when they were 10 years old and placed fourth in the state tournament. They won the state title the following year as 11-year-olds, Schwirse said. The rest of the 2017 team includes Angel Barron, Chase Harshfield, Trevor Wagner, Darius Jones and Alexis Rosales. “The kids are just pumped,” Schwirse said. “This has been an end goal or dream for them.” After this season, the team members are done with Little League, she said, as they move up to playing high school ball. A trip to the larger tournament, Schwirse said, is what the group has been swinging for since they first picked up their gloves several years ago. Donations are tax deductible.
