Skyhawk passed away in Milton-Freewater. He was born in Browning, Mont., to parents Vera Abraham Shippentower and Richard Evans Sr. He lived in Boston, Massachussets; San Jose, California; Browning, Mont.; New Mexico; Switzerland; France; Geneva, and resided on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. He had a bach- elor’s degree in child development. He attended San Jose Bible College on a basketball scholarship in San Jose, Calif., De Evans Anza Commu- nity College in Cupertino, Calif., and took art classes in Chicago, Illinois. He was a basketball ambassador to Thailand. Skyhawk was a renowned international artist; one of his earliest painting is of fancy dancer Joe Standing Elk, Lakota Sioux, in fancy dance regalia on display in a bank in Chicago, Illinois. Skyhawk had many friends in Europe, Paris, France, Russia, Swit- zerland, Poland, Germany, Geneva and Denmark. He traveled extensively and performed ceremonies when called upon. He was a sundancer and belonged to the Sundance Society. As an artist he painted pictures of the Native American culture. Skyhawk enjoyed watching the youth play basketball and lacrosse and he attended games at the Nixyaawii Charter school and Baker City. He participated in Tamakaliks and Chief Joseph Days. He painted the Yellowhawk Prevention Tipi and worked with children in painting the senior mail boxes with their handprints. He told Coyote stories at Tamastklikt. He treasured time spent at the Umatilla Senior Center socializing with the elders, sharing meals and assisting in making crafts for the annual Christmas dinner. He was preceded in death by his parents Vera Abraham Shippen- tower, stepfather Alphonse Shippen- tower and Richard Evans Sr.; sister Rose Evans; niece Alicia Evans; and brother Jack Abraham.

Trump nominates Jerome Powell to be next Fed chairman WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump tapped Jerome Powell on Thursday to replace Janet Yellen as Fed chair when her term ends in February, choosing a moderate member of the Fed’s board who has backed Yellen’s cautious approach to interest rate hikes. Powell, 64, is seen as a safe pick whose selection will likely assure investors hoping for continuity at the central bank. Some analysts see Powell, though, as more inclined than Yellen to ease financial regulations and possibly to favor a faster pace of rate increases. Trump made the announcement in a Rose Garden ceremony with Powell standing beside him. He said Powell had earned the “respect and admiration of his colleagues” in his five years on the Fed’s board. The president also praised Yellen, the first woman to lead the Fed, whom he decided not to nominate for a second term. He called her a “wonderful woman who has done a terrific job.” In a departure from previous announcements of new Fed chairs, Yellen was not in attendance Thursday. Powell himself said it had been a privilege to serve under Yellen and her predecessor, Ben Bernanke, and said he’d do all he could to meet the Fed’s dual mandates of stable prices and maximum employ- ment. Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State Univer- sity-Channel Islands, suggested that the new chair would likely deviate little from Yellen’s policy leadership if the economy performs as expected. “Mr. Powell could be considered a clone of Janet Yellen in a positive sense,” Sohn said. “He will continue the same cautious, gradualist policy in setting interest rates that she did.” If confirmed by the Senate, Powell would become chairman when Yellen’s term ends Feb. 3. Unlike the past three Fed leaders, Powell lacks a Ph.D. in economics and spent years working at invest- ment firms. In choosing him, Trump decided against offering another term to Yellen despite widespread approval for her perfor- mance. The Yellen Fed and its go-slow approach to rate hikes have been credited with helping nurture the continued recovery from the Great Recession. Now, she will become the first Fed leader in decades not to be offered a second term after completing a first. Conservative Republi- cans, who have complained that the Fed has grown too independently powerful, praised the selection. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell pledged quick consideration of Powell’s nomination and said the nation needs “a more transparent and accountable Fed.” Democrats expressed discontent that Yellen hadn’t been given a second term. “Janet Yellen has been one of the most successful Fed chairs in history, and she deserved to be re-nom- inated,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. Trump acknowledged in a recent TV interview that his decision on a Fed chair might have less to do with Yellen’s performance than with wanting to impose his own stamp on the Fed.
