REGION Wednesday, August 1, 2018 East Oregonian Page 3A Lake Wallula Fire 96 percent contained East Oregonian The fire burning along Highway 730 was 96 per- cent contained Tuesday eve- ning after crews fought back flames fanned by high winds and extreme temperatures. The fire — dubbed the Lake Wallula Fire — began Sunday evening in the Juni- per Canyon area north- west of Hermiston and was at approximately 10,462 acres, according GPS map- ping done Tuesday. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Firefighters contin- ued to work on the perime- ter through the day to make sure the fire didn’t reignite, and on Wednesday a smaller contingent will return to the scene. No structures were lost and no one was injured, according to a release from the incident management team. Umatilla County Fire District 1 operations chief Jim Forquer said Umatilla Rural Fire District, Echo Fire District and other area districts were also on scene, as well as the Ore- gon Department of Fish and Wildlife. He said area farmers were also helping disc fire breaks. About 80 people were fighting the fire in total, and they were provided air support by helicopter water drops and retardant planes.

Some of Thorpe’s medals are featured in “Beautiful Games: American Indian Sport & Art,” which opens Friday at Tamástslikt Cultural Institute. Artistic side of sports in Tamástslikt exhibit “Beautiful Games: American Indian Sport & Art” opens Friday East Oregonian Some of Jim Thorpe’s medals are fea- tured in an exhibition at Tamástslikt Cul- tural Institute. A member of the Sac and Fox Nation, Thorpe won Olympic gold medals in the pentathlon and decathlon. In addi- tion, he played professional football and baseball. “Beautiful Games: American Indian Sport & Art” highlights the artistic ele- ment of sports. The exhibit features art- work, artifacts, history and discussions about sports and its role in tribal life. It opens Friday with free admission. Tamástslikt is located near Wildhorse Resort & Casino, off Interstate 84 at Exit 216. Sports have played a pivotal role in American Indian tribal communities. Also, many contemporary sports played across cultures are rooted in traditional tribal sporting games. Native games are more than just games — they build body and spirit through exercise and are played by all ages. Many games have roots in ances- tral tests of strength and sport that rein- forced group cooperation and sharpened survival skills. Also, American Indians occasionally incorporated games into religious ceremonies. Competition teaches cooperation, consensus, compromise and team- work, all of which are pillars of indig- enous societies. Athletes learn how to develop strategies and solve prob- lems, patience, discipline, persever- ance, trust, empathy, respect and con- trol. These games and play are integral in helping prepare young people for adult responsibilities, and assist in mit- igating conflict. Tamástslikt is open Monday through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “Beau- tiful Games” runs through Oct. 13. Regular admission is $10 for adults, $9 for seniors, $6 for youths 6-17 and free for ages 5 and under. Also, family passes provided by the Libraries of East- ern Oregon can be checked out from many area libraries. For more informa- tion, call 541-429-7700 or visit www. tamastslikt.org.

His most recent charges were in August 2017 for driving under the influ- ence of intoxicants. East Oregonian The city of Hermis- ton is asking for items to be placed in a time cap- sule that is scheduled to be opened in 50 years. The city plans to seal the capsule underground to celebrate the dedication of the new Harkenrider Cen- ter on Sept. 8. Items for consideration can be dropped off at the Hermiston Public Library until Sept. 5. City staff will choose photographs, doc- uments and some small three-dimensional items to go in a small capsule for future Hermiston resi- dents to unearth on Sept. 8, 2068. Items not chosen for inclusion will be returned to their owners, but items chosen for the time cap- sule will become property of the city. The city asks that peo- ple donating items for con- sideration keep in mind that food, plants and other similar items could dam- age the capsule’s content. “Also consider that dig- ital or electronic items may be unusable 50 years from now,” the city news release reads. “For example, if a floppy disk were included in a capsule 20 years ago, the likelihood of the future residents being able to read its content is very low.” TREASURE HUNT CLUE NO. 2 Now it’s west but it used to be east When you get there, have a feast It sounds more like cat- erpillar unless you say it wrong See the Herald clue, which refers to a song ——— The annual National Night Out Treasure Hunt is underway in Hermiston.
