ARRESTS, CITATIONS Monday •Umatilla tribal police arrested Donald Murray LaPrelle, 57, of La Grande, for possession of methamphetamine. •Hermiston police arrested Victor Manuel Diodoro, 25, of Kennewick, for violating parole and possession of methamphetamine. •Hermiston police reported catching a driver who tried getting away after crashing into a motorcyclist. Michael William Hoglen, 28, at 5:45 p.m. turned right into the parking lot of Gotta Stop Mini Mart, 1580 W. Highland Ave., according to Hermiston Police Chief Jason Edmiston, but Hoglen failed to yield to Aaron Gilroy’s motorcycle and caused a head-on crash. Hoglen fled the scene, Edmiston reported, driving around the building through the busy parking lot and back on to West Highland Avenue. “Hoglen drove around numerous people trying to stop him from leaving and split the east and west bound traffic,” the police chief stated in an email, “driving in the middle of the roadway with his 3-year-old daughter in the vehicle.” A private party took Gilroy to Good Shepherd Medical Center, Hermiston, for treatment of injuries. Edmiston said he did not have an update on Gilroy at the time. Police later caught up to Hoglen at his residence, 1650 W. Sunland Ave., No. M11, and arrested him for failure to perform duties of driver to injured persons, reckless driving and on a probation violation. Tuesday •Pendleton police arrested another suspect for breaking into a vehicle. Officers at 1:58 a.m. responded to the 300 block of Southwest Second Street on a report from a neighborhood resident about a person breaking into a vehicle, according to police Lt. Charles Byram. Officers arrived at the area within three minutes and spotted the suspect about two blocks from the crime scene. “It was the timely reporting and accurate description given by the witness that greatly assisted the patrol officers in locating the suspect,” Byram stated in an email. That led police to arrest Cody Ray DuBois, 29, of 532 N.W. 14th St., Pendleton, for unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, third-degree theft, second-degree criminal mischief, and possession of burglary tools. Pendleton has experienced more than two dozen vehicle break-ins over the past two weeks. Byram said those investiga- tions continue. Umatilla County Circuit Court records show DuBois has five criminal cases pending for charges ranging from identify theft to felon in possession of a restricted weapon to trespassing. He also happens to be the fourth person named Cody now in the Umatilla County Jail.

THURSDAY, AUG. 3 No services scheduled “It’s pretty obvious that our problem with health care was not the Democrats. We didn’t have 50 Republicans.” By ALAN FRAM Associated Press WASHINGTON — Republicans showed signs Tuesday of reaching out to Democrats for a joint if modest effort to buttress health insurance markets, four days after the GOP effort to unilaterally uproot and reshape the Obama health care law crumpled in the Senate. The Republican chairman of the Senate health committee, Tennessee’s Lamar Alexander, proposed bipartisan legislation extending for one year federal payments to insurers that help millions of low- and moder- ate-income Americans afford coverage. President Donald Trump has threatened to halt those subsidies in hopes of forcing Democrats to make concessions, but the Senate’s top Democrat on Tuesday called his moves “childish.” The No. 2 Senate Repub- lican also seemed to suggest that the two parties seek common health care ground. Citing the Senate’s “fragile majorities,” Texas Sen. John Cornyn said on the Senate floor, “We are forced to work together to try to solve these problems, and I think frankly bipartisan solutions tend to be more durable.” In addition, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell rebuffed Trump’s demands that the Senate change its rules so it can pass a health overhaul with a simple majority vote. McConnell, R-Ky., said the Senate lacks the votes to end filibusters of legislation like Trump wants, and noted that getting the 60 votes needed to end filibusters wasn’t why Republicans lost. “It’s pretty obvious that our problem with health care was not the Democrats. We didn’t have 50 Republicans,” McConnell told reporters. The prospects for passing any bipartisan health care legislation remain uncertain, with divisions between conservatives and moderate Republicans persisting on several issues. In particular, Trump, McConnell and some other Republicans have mocked the payments — Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky., flanked by Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the Republican Conference chairman, left, and Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., laughs as he holds his first news conference since the Republican health care bill collapsed last week due to opposition within the GOP ranks, Tuesday on Capitol Hill. Alexander wants to renew as a bailout for insurers. Nonetheless, the day’s comments collectively under- scored the distance Senate Republicans are keeping from White House demands that they continue voting on repealing and replacing President Barack Obama’s 2010 health care overhaul. Uprooting that law has been a top priority for Trump and most GOP congressional candidates, and failing to do it as they control the White House and Congress has angered many in the party. Many top Republicans have said it’s time for the GOP to move from health care to other issues. McConnell said “there’s still an opportunity” for Republicans to push health care legislation through the Senate alone. He said he was waiting for the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office to estimate the impact of GOP bills easing some of the party’s proposed Medicaid cuts, making it easier for insurers to sell bare-bones policies and simply giving states block grants for health programs. 5 Annual th Alexander said the legis- lation he envisions would be “small, bipartisan and balanced.” He said it should include money to continue the insurance payments in 2018 plus provisions giving states more flexibility to improve health insurance policies, which he did not define. He said his panel would hold hearings next month on stabilizing insurance markets. That would be a departure from the lack of hearings when McConnell worked behind closed doors to craft various versions of the GOP’s health care bill, each of which were rejected by his Republi- can-run chamber. Alexander said he’s asked Trump to make the payments to insurers for August and September to give his panel time to write legislation. White House officials have said Trump will decide this week on the August install- ment. Sen. Patty Murray of Wash- ington state, the health panel’s top Democrat, embraced Alexander’s suggestions.

They total $7 billion this year and are helping around 7 million people afford insurance deductibles and co-payments. Obama’s statute requires that insurers reduce out-of- pocket costs for many customers. But a federal court has blocked the federal reim- bursements to insurers who do that, saying the funds have yet to be properly authorized by Congress. Trump and Obama before him have continued the payments temporarily. The payments to insurers are backed by Democrats and some Republicans because many experts say that even the threat of blocking them is already prompting insurers to raise prices and consider abandoning some markets. Kristine Grow, spokeswoman for the insurance industry group America’s Health Insur- ance Plans, said to cover their costs if the federal payments ended, insurers would have to boost premiums for people buying individual policies by 20 percent. 8/2 Cineplex Show Times Classic Movie 12:00 LIVE MUSIC /mo. where available CALL TODAY - PROMO CODE: FreeEchoDot Requires credit qualification and commitment Guy V.
