BRIEFLY Hermiston sex crime defendant makes bail HERMISTON — Jose Guadalupe Sanguino Cancino of Hermiston made bail earlier this month. The child-rape defendant’s next court appearance is not until March. Cancino, 36, in December asked Circuit Judge Dan Hill to reduce his bail from $1,250,000 to $50,000. Hill on Dec. 28, according to court records, lowered the amount to $125,000. Cancino on Jan. 12 paid $12,500, 10 percent of the total, to secure his release from the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton. Cancino must reside with his brother at 32250 W. Walls Road, Hermiston, per the judge’s order, and he must be under adult supervision and abide by other restrictions. Cancino faces eight counts of first-degree sexual abuse, one each of second- and third-degree sexual abuse and incest, and two counts each of first-degree sodomy and first-degree rape. The state has alleged Cancino committed the crimes against one girl in 2005-2006 and against another starting in 2010 when she was younger than 12. Hermiston police stated there could be more victims. Cancino has his next hearing March 5 to consider trial dates. State to use child hearsay against Irrigon man HEPPNER — The Morrow County District Attorney’s Office could introduce child hearsay at trial in the child sex crimes case against Maynor Alberto Granados of Irrigon. Richard Tovey, deputy district attorney, in late December notified the court and the defense he would use the victim’s statements that are in police reports, audio/ video recordings, and Mt. Emily Safe Center materials. The center in La Grande conducts forensic interviews of child abuse victims among other services. Granados, 38, who according to court records also uses the last name Gionados, faces three counts of second-degree rape and eight more of first-degree sexual abuse. The state alleged he committed the crimes in 2017 against a girl younger than 14. Granados’ trial was to begin Thursday, but the state and defense attorney Daniel Stephens of Hermiston agreed to postpone, according to court records. Granados has a pre-trial conference Feb. 8 and remains in the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton, in lieu of $400,000 bail.

Benjamin Brink/The Oregonian via AP Ursula Le Guin American author of novels, children’s books and more is seen in a 2001 photo. Le Guin, the award-winning science fiction and fantasy writer who explored feminist themes and was best known for her Earthsea books, died peacefully Monday in Portland. She was 88. Ursula K. Le Guin, best-selling science fiction author, dies PORTLAND (AP) — Ursula K. Le Guin, the award-winning science fiction and fantasy writer who explored feminist themes and was best known for her Earthsea books, has died at 88. Le Guin died peacefully on Monday in Portland according to a brief family statement posted to her veri- fied Twitter account. Her son, Theo Downes Le Guin, did not immediately return a call Tuesday. Le Guin won an honorary National Book Award in 2014 and warned in her acceptance speech against letting profit define what is considered good literature. She often criticized the “commercial machinery of bestsellerdom and prizedom” despite being a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1997 — a rare achievement for a science fiction-fantasy writer. “I have had a long career and a good one. In good company. Now here, at the end of it, I really don’t want to watch American literature get sold down the river,” Le Guin said in the speech. “We who live by writing and publishing want — and should demand — our fair share of the proceeds. But the name of our beautiful reward is not profit. Its name is freedom.” Le Guin’s first novel was “Roncannon’s World” in 1966 but she gained fame three years later with “The Left Hand of Darkness,” which won the Hugo and Nebula awards — top science fiction prizes — and conjures a radical change in gender roles well before the rise of the transgender community. The book imagines a future society in which people are equally male and female and also dramatizes the perils of tyranny, violence and conformity. Her best-known works, the Earthsea books, have sold in the millions worldwide. She also produced volumes of short stories, poetry, essays and literature for young adults. “I know that I am always called ‘the sci-fi writer.’ Everybody wants to stick me into that one box, while I really live in several boxes,” she told reviewer Mark Wilson of Scifi.com. “It probably hurts the sales of my realistic books like ‘Searoad’ because it tends to get stuck into science fiction, where browsing readers that didn’t read science fiction would never see it,” she said. A longtime feminist, Le Guin earned degrees from Radcliffe and Columbia.

I hope you live without the need to dominate, and without the need to be dominated.” Born in Berkeley, Cali- fornia, on Oct. 21, 1929, Le Guin described a well-off childhood even during the Depression, with summers in the countryside. Her success followed an early setback: At age 11, she had her first offering rejected by Amazing Stories, the pioneering science fiction magazine. “During the Second World War, my brothers all went into service and the summers in the Valley became lonely ones, just me and my parents in the old house,” she told sfsite.com, another science fiction website. “There was no TV then; we turned on the radio once a day to get the war news. Those summers of solitude and silence, a teenager wandering the hills on my own, no company, ‘nothing to do,’ were very important to me. I think I started making my soul then,” she said. She married Charles Le Guin in Paris in 1953. They moved to Portland and had three children. Her themes ranged from children’s literature to explo- rations of Taoism, feminism, anarchy, psychology and sociology to tales of a society where reading and writing are punishable by death and of a scientist who battles aliens to save the world. One reviewer called her work “philosophy disguised as science fiction.” The critic Harold Bloom placed her in the pantheon of fantasy writers along with JRR Tolkien. “Sometimes I think I am just trying to superstitiously avert evil by talking about it,” she told sfsite.com. “Throughout my whole adult life, I have watched us blighting our world irrevocably ... ignoring every warning and neglecting every benevolent alternative in pursuit of ‘growth.’” 1/24 Cineplex Show Times $5 Classic Movie 12:00 PM Tender Mercies 12 Strong (R) 4:00 7:00 10:00 Paddington 2 (PG) 4:50 7:20 9:40 Jumanji 2D (PG13) 7:10 Jumanji 3D (PG13) 4:30 9:50 The Post (PG13) 4:10 6:40 9:20 The Greatest Showman (PG) 4:20 6:50 9:30 Credit & Debit Cards accepted Cineplex gift cards available * Matinee Pricing wildhorseresort.com 541-966-1850 Pendleton, OR I-84 - Exit 216
