mischief at Western Radiator, 1008 S.E. Court Place.
8:05 a.m. - A man asked to speak to a Pendleton officer
about a relative harassing him and his wife.
8:08 a.m. - The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office looked into a

9:49 a.m. - A caller told Stanfield police someone broke into
their storage unit at Stanfield Stor-N-Lok, 710 W. Coe Ave., and
took everything. The caller said the crime happened in 2017
between the end of summer and the start of November.
10:33 a.m. - One semi rear-ending another on Interstate 84
near Pendleton caused one sweet mess.
Oregon State Police reported Jon Burton, 64, of Caldwell,
Idaho, was heading east on the interstate with a tank full of
cooked cream, or panna cotta, when a second big rig near
milepost 201 crashed into the back of that trailer.
The collision cracked the tank, causing 25,000-28,000
pounds of the sweet, thick cream to spill into the ditch on the
right side of the freeway. That led to closing the lane for about
two hours for an environmental response team to clean up the
substance.
No one was injured, both semis needed tow trucks and state
police cited semi driver Roman Vladimirovich Palamarchuk, 32,
of Portland for following too close.

Lora Lee (LaCourse)
Penney of Mission, Oregon,
88, passed away of heart
failure on Thursday April 26,
2018, at St Mary’s Hospital
in Walla Walla, Washington.
After a brief rally, it
became clear that it was her
time for the last and final
journey where she
found her victory.
She will be remem-
bered for her loving
and caring nature
and quick smile and
laugh.
She
collected
stamps and coins,
enjoyed bowling in
her younger years
and had many a
good time in the Penney
bingo hall and
enjoyed the occa-
sional slot machine. She did
beautiful needlepoint, and
loved calligraphy. She had
the most beautiful and memo-
rable handwriting, it was an
art form in itself. She stayed
busy enjoying her family and
had a hand in raising each of
her grandchildren.
She worked for 39 years
at the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and after retirement
was appointed to the Gaming
Commission where she
served for 16 years. She
always enjoyed work and
getting out there making a
valuable contribution.
She is survived by her
husband James C. Penney;
son Greg Penney; daughters
Stephanie (John) Olsen
and Candice (Bill) Settle;
grandchildren James Penney
II, Travis Olsen, Jennifer
(T.J.) Brom, Jakob (Sara)
Settle, Michele Settle, Tony
Pacheco and Brenda Bare;
eight great-grandchildren;
and numerous nieces and
nephews, all of whom held a
special place in her heart.
She was preceded in death
by her parents Maude and
William LaCourse; brothers
Eldon
“Boots”
LaCourse
and
Delbert LaCourse;
and sisters Flor-
ence Carden, Nita
Johnson and Rita
Safford.
She was the last
surviving sibling of
her family unit.
Recitation of the
Holy Rosary will
be held on Friday,
May 4 at 7:00
p.m. and Mass of
Christian Burial will be on
Saturday, May 5 at 10:00
a.m., both to be conducted at
St. Andrews Catholic Church
in Mission. Burial to follow
at St. Andrews Cemetery.
There will be a luncheon
immediately
following
burial.
This is but a brief snapshot
of this wonderful woman
who even though had a long
life still feels way too short
for those of us left behind.
As we learn to live our new
“normal” without her we ask
that you share your memo-
ries, we look forward to and
welcome all remembrances.
Thank you.

Men arrested settle with Philly, Starbucks
By ERRIN HAINES WHACK
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Two
black men arrested for sitting
at a Philadelphia Starbucks
without ordering anything
settled with the world’s
biggest coffee-shop chain
Wednesday for an undis-
closed sum and an offer of a
free college education.
Separately, they reached
a deal with the city for a
symbolic $1 each and a
promise from officials to set
up a $200,000 program for
young entrepreneurs.
The men portrayed the
twin settlements as an effort
to make sure something posi-
tive came out of the April 12
incident, which touched off
a furor around the U.S. over
racial profiling.
“We thought long and hard
about it, and we feel like this
is the best way to see that
change that we want to see,”
said Donte Robinson, one
of those arrested. “It’s not a
right-now thing that’s good
for right now, but I feel like
we will see the true change

over time.”
Business
partners
Robinson and Rashon Nelson,
both 23, were led away in
handcuffs and accused of
trespassing last month after
the manager of a Starbucks in
the city’s well-to-do Ritten-
house Square neighborhood
called police, saying the men
refused to buy anything or
leave. After spending hours in
jail, they were released and no
charges were filed.
The men said they were
there waiting for a meeting
with a third man about a poten-
tial real estate opportunity.
The incident proved a
major embarrassment for
Starbucks, which has long
projected an image as a
socially conscious company.
On Wednesday, Starbucks
announced it reached a
financial settlement with the
men. The amount was not
disclosed.
The
company
said
they will also be given the
opportunity to complete their
bachelor’s degrees, their
tuition fully covered, through
a Starbucks partnership with
Arizona State University.
The online college education
program was created in 2014
for Starbucks employees.
Also, the men will be
given the chance to discuss
their experience and share
their recommendations for
changes at Starbucks with
former U.S. Attorney General
Eric Holder.
During the uproar, Star-
bucks CEO Kevin Johnson
came to Philadelphia to
apologize to the men. He also
announced that more than
8,000 Starbucks stores in
the U.S. would close on the
afternoon of May 29 so nearly
175,000 employees can get
training in unconscious bias.
Under the deal with the city,
the men’s arrest records will be
expunged, and an entrepreneur
program will be created to
offer counseling and mento-
ring to entrepreneurs from
Philadelphia high schools.
