HERMISTON A PENDLETON One dollar UMATILLA City manager Pelleberg resigns By JADE MCDOWEL L East Oregonian Staff photo by Tammy Malgesini Scrub brush continues to smoke as a firefighter with Umatilla County Fire District 1 continues mop-up work from a fire late Tuesday afternoon in the vicinity of Joy Lane and Alpine Drive, northeast of Hermiston. Fire seasons starts Thursday on state for- est land in northeast Oregon. Despite scattered rains from recent thun- derstorms, the Oregon Department of For- estry announced parts of the Northeast Ore- gon District are showing increased potential for fire starts. Forecasts of higher temperatures and drier conditions prompted state fire manag- ers to declare fire season beginning Thurs- day, at 12:01 a.m., for forest and range lands under the protection of the Northeast Oregon District. Jamie Knight, national resources specialist with the forestry department, said this opening of the season is about average. “This is about the time we go into fire season, give or take a few days every year,” she said. 142nd Year, No. 181 Your Wee kend WINNER OF THE 2017 ONPA FRIDAY, JUNE 29, GENERAL EXCELLEN CE AWARD 2018 PENDLETON One dollar Get fresh • Irrigon produce at Farmers Market Community • Friday Night Out in Athen a Watch a movie at • Comm unity Park For times and places see Comin g Events , 5A Weekend Weath er Umatilla City Manager Fri Sat Russ Pelleberg resigned after a short Sun but turbulent time ing the city. lead- City recorder Nanci Sandoval confirmed the resignation in PENDLETON an ing, noting Pelleberg email Wednesday morn- “to pursue other turned in his resignation 80/55 85/60 tunities” and his oppor- 84/54 last Watch a would be July 27. day game leberg did not return Pel- a Hermiston request for comment vs. Pendle in Little ton press time Wednesday as of League Distric t Pelleberg joined .
