Deputies did not give any citations and the sheriff’s office reported the crash remains under investigation. 7 leaks found in Hanford’s oldest double-walled tank told the Hanford Advisory Board on Wednesday that a total of seven leaks were found. The Energy Department said no waste is believed to have breached the outer shell to contaminate the environment. Hanford for decades made pluto- nium for nuclear weapons and the wastes are left over from that work. The most toxic wastes are stored in 177 giant underground tanks. There are 28 newer double-walled tanks and 149 single-walled tanks, some of which date back to the dawn of the Cold War. Many of the single-walled tanks have leaked over the years. The tanks are made of carbon steel and contain more than 56 million gallons of the wastes that are -10s -0s showers t-storms 0s 10s rain the most difficult to treat for perma- nent disposal. Efforts to dispose of those wastes are expected to take decades and cost tens of billions of dollars. When Tank AY-102 was emptied, leaks were revealed in two welds on the bottom of the inner wall, Tren- chard said. In addition, corrosion appeared to have left pits in the floor of the inner wall, he said. To determine if any of the pits went all the way through the steel, a small amount of liquid was pumped into the space. The liquid drained through the pits in five places, bringing the total number of known leaks to at least seven, Trenchard said. 20s flurries 30s 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front high Corrections The East Oregonian works hard to be accu- rate and sincerely regrets any errors.

Pando, 38, took a plea deal on Oct. 26 in Umatilla County Circuit Court, Hermiston. Court records show he pleaded guilty to the following: second-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon, first-degree criminal mischief, menacing, attempted coercion and Pando domestic violence charges of strangulation and menacing. Second-degree assault carries a mandatory minimum prison sentence of five years, 10 months. The sentences for the other charges run concurrent with the assault. The state dismissed six other counts, and Pando will receive credit for the time he spent in the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton. Hermiston police the night of Aug. 6 responded to an assault on the 600 block of Southeast Seventh Street. Police reported finding two injured women — Pando’s ex-wife and her friend. His ex arrived to pick up their 4-year-old son, and Pando attacked the women with his fists and a baseball bat. Pando refused to come out of his home for around four hours. Pando now is at the Oregon Department of Corrections’ Coffee Creek Intake Center, Wilsonville, while the department determines where to place him. MISSION — A new executive chef brings more than 30 years of culinary arts experience to Wildhorse Resort & Casino. Jeff Sommer, who most recently worked in New Orleans, got his first taste of cooking while helping his mother bake and preserve vegetables from his grandparent’s garden. As a 16-year-old, Sommer started working as a busboy, which lead to his yearning to be in the kitchen. Sommer Sommer attended Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton, Wisconsin, receiving degrees in both hotel restaurant management and culinary arts. From there, he was accepted into the Culinary Institute of America. He honed his skills at various private business clubs, country clubs and resorts. Bruce Mecham, Wildhorse food and beverage director, said Sommer is a great fit. “The experience he brings gives him the ability to impact all of our restaurant offerings and our banquet facilities,” Mecham said. “It also allows him to continue to enhance our guests experience in Plateau Fine Dining.” An avid outdoorsman, Sommer moved to Pendleton with his wife, Cherrieanna, and son, Scott. Their daughter, Cassie, attends Georgia Southern University. For more information about Wildhorse, visit www. wildhorseresort.com.

(AP) — Inspectors at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in south-central Washington state have found at least seven leaks in the site’s oldest double-walled radioactive waste storage tank. Tank AY-102 was known since 2012 to have a slow leak from its inner shell into the space between its inner and outer walls. The Tri-City Herald reports that the tank, which was built in the 1960s and once held 744,000 gallons of waste, had been emptied of all but 19,000 gallons by February. Then an inspection was done with video cameras.
