COMMUNITY/REGION Tuesday, June 26, 2018 East Oregonian Page 3A Two locals injured in car crashes in Washington State The Washington State Patrol reported John J. Rizzi, 23, of Yakima was driving a black 2009 Honda Civic west on Intes- tate 82 near milepost 27 when the car drifted into the neighboring lane at about 4:30 p.m. and struck a white 2016 Chevrolet Suburban. The Chevrolet then crossed the median into the eastbound lanes and crashed into Barr and his 2015 Toyota Rav4. The state patrol did not report the extent of Barr’s injuries but an ambu- lance took him to Astria Regional Medical Center, Yakima. Barr was the only one injured. John H. Moore, 51, of Springfield, Oregon, was the Chevrolet’s driver. He and his two passen- gers were not injured, although the crash totaled the vehicle. Rizzi also was able to drive away, but Washing- ton State Patrol cited him for improper lane travel. And Gerardo Buen- tello, 71, of Milton-Free- water, crashed Friday at about 6:30 p.m. on High- way 12 about 15 miles east of Burbank. Washing- ton State Patrol reported he was heading east in a 2010 Kenworth semitrailer when the rig left the road and rolled. He went to Providence St. Mary Medical Cen- ter, Walla Walla, for treat- ment. The state patrol also reported driving too fast for the conditions was the cause of the crash.

PORTLAND — A state policy advisory committee plans to recommend tolling all lanes of Interstate 5 and the Abernathy Bridge on Interstate 205 in the metro area as a strategy to reduce traffic congestion and raise revenue to build a third lane on the bridge. Tolls on I-5 would extend from North Going/Alberta Street to Multnomah Boule- vard and be variable depend- ing on levels of congestion. “What congestion pricing does … is it actually reduces the number of people on the road during peak period travel, gets the through traf- fic that we’re looking for, BOARDMAN — Stan- field police early Satur- day caught a Boardman robbery suspect and two companions. The department in a social media statement reported the three tried to escape, but the “futile attempt to avoid capture was short lived,” and soon they were in the Umatilla County Jail, Pendleton. The robbery occurred at about 2 a.m. at the Sin- clair Station, 100 Main St., Boardman, when an Afri- can-American man dressed in black stole money and cigarettes from the store. Witnesses also told Mor- row County law enforce- ment that the man was armed and took off in a white Ford Excursion with small tires. Stanfield officer Cody Marcum spotted the vehi- cle, which led to the cap- ture of Deng Peter Makuey, 25, of Vancouver, Wash- ington, along with Sta- cie McKoin Cadriel, 34, and Seth L. Williams, 28. Police arrested Williams on a warrant and Cadriel for cocaine possession, according to jail records. Makuey faces charges of first-degree robbery, first-degree theft and three counts each of unlaw- ful use of a weapon and menacing. Court docu- ments show the weapons and menacing charges are for Makuey using a gun to threaten three people. BRIEFLY Contributed photo Participants engage in a theatrical activity during the 2017 Summer Youth Theatre Camp. Presented by College Community Theatre, registrations are open for this year’s camp, which begins July 16 in Bob Clapp Theatre at BMCC in Pendleton. All participants need to bring a sack lunch and their own beverages. A mid-morning snack will be provided each day. Adrienne Flagg, a Portland actress who has been involved with the camp for many years, said each participant has a voice in creating and presenting projects. She urges youths to tap into their creative spirit through theater. Performance, she said, offers a plat- form where young artists can be heard. The 2018 camp is sponsored by gen- erous grants and major donations from the Blue Mountain Community Foun- dation, Pendleton on Wheels, Dale and Shirley Moll, St Anthony Hospital, Brooke Armstrong, Nicholas Patterson Attorney at Law, Roosters Restaurant and Blue Mountain Community Col- lege. Donations are welcome.

The sec- ond part of the recommen- dation calls for analyzing the results of the tolls and pos- sibly developing a subse- quent, comprehensive plan for tolling other highways in the Portland area. Several committee mem- bers asked that increased transit services be a condi- tion of imposing any tolls to help mitigate the impact the tolls could take on low-in- come commuters. “It’s hard to price peo- ple for something when we cannot provide them with other options,” said commit- tee member Craig Dirksen of the Metro Council. “We need to include transit access from the very beginning.” The 25 members of the committee failed to reach consensus on every aspect of the plan they’ll recommend. Each has an opportunity to write an explanation for their support or opposition of the plan in the final draft of the recommendation. Representatives for environmental and truck- ing interests clashed over whether the pilot should include raising revenue to build another lane on I-205. Environmental rep- resentatives want to encour- age transit, carpooling and other alternative modes of transportation to decrease demand on the roadways rather than increase space for more vehicles. Jana Jarvis of the Oregon Trucking Association said she would support a plan only if it included raising revenue for additional lanes. “Congestion” or “value pricing” refers to the prac- tice of changing the toll price for a freeway or a lane based on how much con- gestion is on the roadway during that time.
