Weekend violence in
Chicago kills 11, injures 70
CHICAGO (AP) —
At least 11 people were
shot to death and about
70 wounded in a weekend
burst of violence in Chi-
cago that instantly became
a political issue when
President Donald Trump’s
lawyer, Rudy Giuliani,
blamed the carnage on
longtime Democratic rule
in the city.
Police on Monday
attributed the dozens of
shootings to gangs, the
illegal flow of guns and
sweltering August heat that
drew more people outside.
The victims ranged in
age from 11 to 63, accord-
ing to police. One teen-
age girl died after being
shot in the face. A teenage
boy was fatally shot rid-
ing a bike Sunday after-
noon. Other shootings took
place at a block party and
a funeral.
Even for Chicagoans
all too accustomed to vio-
lence in parts of the city,
the weekend stood out. By
way of comparison, at least
seven people were killed
and 32 wounded during the
long Memorial Day week-
end, the Chicago Tribune
reported.
“Our souls are bur-
dened,” Mayor Rahm
Emanuel said. “It is unac-
ceptable to happen in any
neighborhood of Chicago.
We are a better city.”
Echoing comments that
Trump himself has made
repeatedly about Chi-
cago, Giuliani blamed
Emanuel — President
Barack Obama’s White
House chief of staff —
and decades of “one party
Democratic rule” in a
series of tweets on Sunday
and Monday.
The former New York
mayor also tweeted his
support for Chicago may-
oral candidate and for-
mer Police Superintendent
Garry McCarthy, refer-
ring to him as “Jerry” and
calling him a “policing
genius.”
McCarthy plans to run
next February against
Emanuel, who fired McCa-
rthy in 2015 after the
release of dashcam video
showing a white police
officer kill a black teenager
by shooting him 16 times.

OBITUARIES
Roy Huot Barnes
James R. Becker
Bingen, Wash.
July 21, 2018
Hermiston
March 8, 1941 - August 2, 2018
A descendant of Klickitat
County pioneers, Roy Huot
Barnes was the first child
of Charles Kenneth Barnes
and Dolly Karama
Huot Barnes. Born
in Bingen, Wash-
ington, in early
1936, Roy gradu-
ated from Pendle-
ton High School
in 1954, joined the
United States Army
and was stationed
in Germany.
After being dis-
charged in August
of 1956, Roy went
immediately
to
Willamette
Uni-
versity on a foot- Barnes
ball scholarship,
then joined the Oregon State
Police on June 17, 1957.
Roy eventually retired as a
lieutenant from the Oregon
State Police Department at
Baker, Oregon, on Decem-
ber 31, 1985, after 29 and
one half years of service.
Roy had two children,
Donald Roy Barnes and
Julie Rene Barnes.
Roy married Betty Joyce
Pierce on November 6, 1984.
They were married 35 years.
Roy and Betty each made
the other a better person.
She was the love of his life.
After they retired, Roy and
Betty traveled for approxi-
mately two years before tak-
ing on a second career buy-
ing and selling antiques and
traveling from show to show
for the next ten years. Roy
and Betty might have woken
up and decided to take off
in 2 hours’ time for another
adventure. Roy would never
tie himself down to a spe-
cific schedule, it was always
“let’s play it by ear.” He kept
Betty on her toes. Roy and
Betty were always together
and spent many hours
exploring Eastern Oregon
on 4-wheelers. He loved to
hunt and fish and
did these things as
long as his health
allowed him.
In later years
Parkinson’s
and
diabetes
took
many things from
Roy. His sense of
humor stayed with
him, although Par-
kinson’s stole his
voice. He could no
longer travel but he
walked to the cof-
fee shop for the
usual group chat
every day. He will
be missed by his family and
friends. We loved him very
much.
Survivors include his
wife Betty Barnes of Bin-
gen; children Don Massey of
Portland, Oregon, and Julie
Kerns of Haines, Oregon;
from a former marriage,
stepchildren Renee Moore,
Trina Betty and Tara Bishop;
brother Don Barnes of Pend-
leton, Oregon; sister Lola
Riddle of Vancouver, Wash-
ington; two grandchildren;
five great-grandchildren and
numerous nieces, nephews,
cousins and in-laws.
A memorial service will
be held at 4 p.m. on Satur-
day, August 18 at Commu-
nity Connections in Baker
City.
Memorial contributions
may be made in Roy’s name
to the Bingen Fire Depart-
ment, Bingen City Park or
Eagles Grand Aerie Parkin-
son’s Research.
