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.

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.

ment. He has been arrested
several times in Umatilla
County for possession of con-

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.”
