ARRESTS, CITATIONS
•Hermiston police arrested Dustin Gene Sanders, 34, of

violation, unlawful possession of marijuana, carrying concealed
weapons, unauthorized use of a vehicle, hindering prosecution

Man arrested for stealing
vehicles from Kennewick
Police Department
East Oregonian
A man was arrested
Monday in Hermiston for
stealing a cargo trailer and
two snowmobiles from
the Kennewick Police
Department back
in January.
Naythan
Allen Olney, 36,
of
Hermiston
was arrested on
Agnew
Road
and charged with
felony counts of
theft by receiving,
c r i m i n a l
conspiracy, three Olney
counts of posses-
sion of a stolen vehicle and
theft in the first degree.
According
to
the
Umatilla County Sheriff’s
Office, the agency had
been investigating Olney
since January for allegedly
stealing the trailer and vehi-
cles from the Washington
law enforcement agency.
Back on Jan. 21,
2017, the sheriff’s office
recovered the trailer in a
field off Colonel Jordan
Road in Hermiston, after a
citizen recognized it from
a Facebook post. The two
snowmobiles were recov-
ered shortly thereafter,
according to police.
According
to the sheriff’s
office,
their
investigation
led to Olney’s
involvement in
the crime.
On Monday,
the
office
received a new
report of a stolen
2014 Isuzu truck.
The owner of the
vehicle reported that he
hired Olney to work on it
at Olney’s home, but it had
since disappeared.
The sheriff’s office said
police will also charge
Olney with a felony charge
of unauthorized use of a
motor vehicle, as a result of
the recent alleged crime.
Olney has been lodged
at the Umatilla County Jail,
Pendleton.

At the age of 66, beloved

As a young child, Sis
moved to Mission, Oregon,
and was an enrolled
member of the Confeder-
ated Tribes of the Umatilla
Indian Reservation. She
is a descendant of the Nez
Perce and Yakama tribes.
She attended St. Andrew’s
School, graduated in 1969

Sis chose to endure this for
her children and grandchil-
dren. Even while enduring
constant pain herself, she

made you smile. The love
Sis had for God, her family
and friends was heaven in
itself. Her will and strength
were truly powerful. Even
in death, Sis fought to stay
here with her family, yet
she was unafraid to go. She
left Earth surrounded by her
loved ones, her daughters
and all her grandchildren.
She was preceded in
death by her father, brothers,
sister-in-law, nephew and
grandson.

Self-taught rocket scientist sets new launch date
(AP) — Self-taught rocket
scientist “Mad” Mike Hughes
won’t allow a little red tape
to get in the way of his green
light for a launch.
All systems are go for his
rescheduled steam-powered
rocket attempt — in his view,
at least.
The 61-year-old limo
driver who believes Earth is
flat plans to climb into his
homemade vessel Monday
and rocket 1 mile over the
ghost town of Amboy, Cali-
fornia. He was scheduled to
blast off last weekend, but
he didn’t have the proper
permits from the Bureau of
Land Management.
He’s relocated his launch
pad about 4 miles from its
original spot so he takes off
and lands on private property.
It may not be enough. The
BLM said he still needs to
fill out the permits. Hughes
contends that shouldn’t be
required since he’s flying on
private land and has permis-
sion.
“I’m moving forward,”
Hughes said Tuesday. “I’m a
daredevil. I’m not much for
authority or rules.”
In the meantime, he keeps
readying his rocket in the
Mojave Desert and sleeping
in a motor home that doubles
as his rocket launcher. He
still can’t quite wrap his
mind around how his project

Mike Hughes is shown with his steam-powered vessel
in Apple Valley, Cal. After going through red tape that
got his original launch date scrubbed, the self-taught
rocket scientist now plans to fly his steam-powered
vessel on Dec. 4.
has generated so much buzz.
He’s been contacted by news
outlets from all over the
globe.
“This is all just nuts,
but I guess it’s supposed to
be,” said Hughes, who will
televise the launch on his
YouTube channel and doesn’t
want spectators to show up
out of safety concerns. “I’ve
had people say so much, that
I’m a fraud. I’ve had people
email me and say, ‘You’re
going to die.’ I even had one
woman ask me if we were all
going to die on (launch day).
But I’ve also had so much
support. It’s just crazy.”
His original intention was
this: Set up his rocket that’s
built out of salvage parts and
launch on an air strip next to a
dilapidated hangar. He said a
verbal agreement he received
from the BLM a year ago fell
through at the last moment.
With no permit, his
mission was postponed.
“The BLM has a permit-
ting process for recreational
activity on public lands,”
BLM spokesman Stephen
Razo said in an email. “Mr.
Hughes has been made aware
of this process by the local
TRI-CITIES
field office and stands ready
to work with Mr. Hughes on
his permit like any other once
we receive an official permit
request from him.”
Hughes said BLM repre-
sentatives have since visited
his location to check how
things are going.
“They’ve been very nice
to me. I have no animosity,”
said Hughes , who transported
his rocket to Amboy late
last week, with his vehicle
breaking down numerous
times during the 100-mile
trek. “Things come up and I
expect things to come up. ... I
understand it.”
Hughes has permission
to be on the property from
Albert Okura, who purchased
the rights to Amboy in 2005
for $435,000. Hughes’ new
spot for a launch isn’t exactly
ideal, though.
For starters, he had to dig
ditches to level the rocket
launcher, with three of the
four tires now resting in holes.
He’s in the process of raising
the 57-foot ramp, which takes
about two days. He hopes to
begin heating the rocket on
Saturday morning.
