The Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office reported at the agency’s headquarters in Pendleton noticed a “little bundle huddled beneath a vehicle in our parking lot.” While rabbits hop around there on occasion, a kitten was an unusual sight. Staff “immediately deduced something was amiss,” according to the sheriff’s office, and applied rescue training to coax the cautious kitten to come in from the cold. After some “oohing” and “ahhhing,” the sheriff’s office reported, deputies “started an investigation into the origin of our small visitor.” The kitten hitched a ride with one of the sheriff’s civil deputies. She visited a residence in Hermiston after work. The kitten crawled inside the engine compartment of the deputy’s vehicle, stayed there when she drove to her home in Hermiston, spent the night in the vehicle, and took the ride all the way to the sheriff’s office in Pendleton. “That is a huge effort just to get a tour of the sheriff’s office,” the agency stated. Sterrin Holcomb, civil division lieutenant, said the cute ball of fur must have had quite the experience, but it was fine, and staff fed, watered and gave the little guy a warm place to sleep. Holcomb also said the kitten is back home with its owner. 8:26 a.m. - Milton-Freewater police received a report that a vehicle during the night damaged a street sign at Northwest Fifth Avenue and Lamb Street. 10:22 a.m. - Pendleton police received a report of harass- ment from the Oregon Division of Child Support office, 800 S.E.

The department also issued a citation around 3:40 p.m. for a dog complaint on Carolina Road, and at 3:48 p.m. a caller on K Street told police the neighbor’s dogs were in her yard. 12:54 p.m. - The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office responded to Northwest Morgan and West streets, Heppner, on a report of a deer in a fence. The sheriff’s office freed the deer. 4:58 p.m. - A caller reported a female was on the ground and crying in front of her car at Ranch & Home, 85342 Highway 11, Milton-Freewater. 7:49 p.m. - Pendleton police responded to a distraught man on the overpass at Southgate Drive and Interstate 84.

The free event is Saturday at Ta- mastslikt Cultural Institute in Mission. smell permeating throughout the building, fly paper hung with flies all over, pigeons flying around, surrounded by barbed wires and a guard station,” Nakata said. Eventually, the Nakata family was sent to Minidoka, which housed nearly 10,000 people from 1942-45. Although conditions were brutal, Nakata said the Japa- nese were resourceful people — starting their own schools, hospitals and even creating a baseball diamond. As the war ended, the concentration camp residents — 120,000 Japanese-Amer- icans were held in Utah, Arizona, Idaho and Cali- fornia — were given $25 and a ticket back to their home states, Nakata said. However, he said most had lost their homes and businesses. “I believe that in America, freedom is fragile. We have been careless with our Constitution,” he said. “Using the example of my people is why I tell my story.” According to the National Park Service, most of what’s left of the Minidoka National Historic Site in on private property. However, tourists may walk through remains of the entry station, waiting room and rock garden. Also, interpretive signs include commemorative plaques listing the names of Japa- nese-American troops from Minidoka who served during the war.

In May 1942, George Nakata’s family was forced to give up their posses- sions, lived in a stockyard surrounded by barbed wire, and was sent to Minidoka Relocation Center near Jerome, Idaho. Thousands of other Japanese-American families experienced similar treatment in the years following the 1941 attack at Pearl Harbor. “Experiences in an Amer- ican Concentration Camp” is Saturday from 1-2:30 p.m. at Tamástslikt Cultural Insti- tute, located near Wildhorse Resort & Casino in Mission. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. The presentation is held in conjunction with the current exhibit, “Art of Survival: Enduring the Turmoil of Tule Lake.” The northern California site was the largest confinement center, housing those considered “disloyal” to the United States. Initially, Nakata and his family were taken to the North Portland Livestock Yard — now the Portland Expo Center. They lived in plywood stalls created for livestock for six months, Nakata said, while permanent camps were constructed. “I remember walking into that building to this day — the pungent odor of manure seeping through the wooden floors, the urine MEETINGS Hermiston April 27, 1932 - Nov. 7, 2017 Thor: Ragnarok 2D (PG13) 7:10 Crary wants to hear from Umatilla County veterans regarding their concerns and ideas.
