Melvin Lane “Mel” Bates, 90, surrounded by loved ones, passed away peacefully at St. Anthony Hospital. Mel was born in Spokane, Wash- ington, on May 9, 1927, to Lyle and Nellie (Davis) Bates. He grew up in Opportunity, Washington, and graduated from West Valley High in 1946. Mel served in the Navy before marrying Mary Lee Bennett Bates in Vancouver, Wa s h i n g t o n , on August 23, 1947. He attended Linfield College, completing his education with a Masters in Education in 1960. Mel and Mary enjoyed their four children. The family settled in Pend- leton in 1963. Hunting and fishing were some of Mel’s favorite pastimes. He enjoyed teaching and coaching at the high school level, in Lexington, Irrigon, Weston, Athena, Arlington and Stanfield. Mel retired from the Oregon Employ- ment Division to a life of travel and adventure. He and Mary traveled to all 50 states, throughout Canada and Europe. If an activity included a grandchild, you would always find them in the crowd. He was preceded in death by his wife Mary, and his brothers Ed and Cameron Bates. He is survived by his brothers Ken, Howard, and Frank Bates, and sister Joy Casey; children Dick (Cindi) Bates, Kathy (Lamont) Porter, Ron (Debbie) Bates and Margie Bates; nine grandchil- dren, Amy, Cory, Sheena, Vincent, Jefferson, Jordan, Cody, Jayda and Janelle; and eight great-grandchil- dren, Andi, Afton, Chloe, Kaylynn, Lucas, Simon, Boston and Carson. Mel was a very caring, kind, compassionate and loving man. Everyone who knew him enjoyed his wonderful sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. In lieu of flowers Mel requested a contribution to the charity of your choice. Memorial service will be held at Burns Mortuary in Pendleton, Oregon, at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 4, 2017.

Thomas Samuel “Tom” Cupp Sr., 59, passed away Wednesday, October 4, 2017, at his home in Fruitland, Idaho, surrounded by his family. Tom was born in Salem, Oregon, on May 4, 1958, to Hoyt and Clara (Wolf) Cupp. He was a public servant for 30 years, retiring from the Oregon Department of Corrections as an assistant superintendent at Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in 2008. But Tom was not all work and no play! He loved traveling, whether that be taking his family on cruises or joining his father-in-law, Cam, in the Caribbean to be the “young guy” on the boat. Socially, Tom was well liked, and appreciated all of the time spent with loved ones. Known for his flank steak, Tom enjoyed barbecuing with friends and family. He had a great sense of humor and was always willing to laugh at himself. Tom is survived by his wife, Stacie (Bullock) Cupp; son Thomas Cupp Jr., his wife Dana Cupp and mother Jean Schmidt; daughters Heidi Cupp and Amanda Cupp, and their mother Cathy (Richardson) Cupp; sister Cindy (Cupp) Miller; brother Benjamin Cupp and his wife Diane Cupp; and many loving grandchildren, nephews, nieces and extended family. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Roy Raley Room in the Pendleton Round-Up Grounds from noon to 3 on Nov. 4, 2017. A former Good Shepherd Health Care System pediatri- cian is striking out on her own with a new private practice. Cornerstone Pediatrics, located at 955 S.E. Fourth Street Suite B next to the Hermiston DMV, is now taking new patients. The clinic’s sole employee is Dr. Rachel Brennan. Brennan has been prac- ticing medicine for seven years and did her residency at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. “I love taking care of children,” she said. Brennan said she is a firm believer in preventative care, and that pediatricians should Roxanne Sewell, 35, of Boardman passed away on Sunday, October 22, 2017. Roxanne was born December 30, 1981, in Anaheim, California, the daughter of Allen and Margaret ( G o r m a n ) Springston. She lived in Sacra- mento, Calif., for several years Sewell before moving to Hermiston in 2005. Roxanne enjoyed karaoke, sports physicals. All patients must first go through an establishment appointment with Brennan before being seen for other types of appointments. “My specialty is working with children over a long period of time, and getting to know them,” she said. Cornerstone Pediatrics doesn’t currently take insur- ance, and Brennan said there is still a question mark about whether the clinic will in the future. For now, her model is targeted more toward people with high deductibles who would have to cover the cost of their child’s check-up themselves anyway.
