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 Hermiston Junior Little League baseball team displays the
banner for winning the Oregon State Little League Tournament
July 15-18 in Bend. 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.
