Walla Walla woman killed in crash, local woman hurt
By PHIL WRIGHT
East Oregonian
Two locals were involved
in a four-vehicle crash Mon-
day that took the life of a
Walla Walla woman.
The Washington State
Patrol reported the deadly
wreck occurred about 7:15
a.m. near College Place on
State Route 125 and Old
Milton Highway.
A gray 2003 Volkswa-
gen Passat and a white 2013
Volkswagen Jetta were
stopped at the traffic light
northbound on State Route
125 at Old Milton High-
way, and a black 2011 Hyun-
dai Sonata was eastbound on
Old Milton Highway at State
Route 125 when a yellow
2002 Nissan Xterra head-
ing south 125 failed to yield
to the traffic control device.
According to the state patrol,
the Nissan crashed into the
Hyundai in the intersection,
then collided with the two
Volkswagens.
Ruby Gonzalez-Romero,
27, of Milton-Freewater
drove the Passat, and McK-
enzie R. Fuhrman, 24, of
Weston, drove the Jetta.
An ambulance took Gonza-
lez-Romero to Providence
St. Mary Medical Center,
Walla Walla, while Fuhrman
was uninjured.
Flor I. Perez, 38, of Walla
Walla drove the Nissan. She
also went to St. Mary.
Sydney L. English-Haw-
kins, 23, of Walla Walla,
drove the Hyundai. She died
at the scene. Washington
State Patrol also reported a
1-year-old girl and 3-month-
old boy were in the Hyundai.
They suffered injures and
also went to St. Mary.
Washington State Patrol
reported the crash is under
investigation and charges are
pending.
Oregon State Police
responded to several crashes
during the weekend, includ-
ing the following, and none
involved injuries:
• Friday at 11:01 p.m. —
Mahlon Paul Zehr, 33, of
Milton-Freewater was driv-
ing a white Ford F150 east
on Interstate 84 when he
grew drowsy near milepost
196 and drifted into the back
of a Jeep Grand Cherokee
towing a trailer.
• Saturday at 7:09 p.m.
— Bryon Christopher Van-
denakker, 41, of Lancaster,
California, crashed after try-
ing to pass a semi-tractor. He
was heading south on High-
way 11 near milepost 18
and tried to pass in the right
lane. As that lane merged
with the left lane, Vandenak-
ker lost control. The car left
the east side of the highway
and came to a stop in a field.

By TAMMY MALGESINI
East Oregonian
While 4-H and FFA youths
take center stage during the
Morrow County Fair —

With a theme of “We’re
Having Bushels of Fun,” the
event runs Wednesday through
Sunday at the fairgrounds,
74473 Highway 74, Heppner.
Daily admission is $4 for ages
8 and up ($10 season pass) and
free for ages 7 and under.
Ann
Jones,
Morrow
County Fair secretary, said
Ray DeLoe of Heppner, a new
fair board member, suggested
having a chili cook-off. Those
who think they have the best
chili in the county are invited
to enter.
To show off your culinary
skills, register Friday at 9 a.m.
and be ready to begin cooking
at 11 a.m. The chili must be
ready by 3 p.m. for sampling
and judging. First- through
third-place winners will be
announced at 5:30 p.m.
Other new faces on the fair
board include Jeromy Wilson
of Heppner and Buck Elliott
of Boardman. They join Pat
Tolar of Irrigon, Cody High of

the fair.
“They’ve really jumped in
and thrown out some ideas in
working towards having fun
and new things happening at
the fair,” she said.
Also new this year is an
arcade room. In addition to
the regular bounce houses and
face painting in the Kids Fun
Zone, people can play their
favorite arcade games. Daily
wristbands are $10 or $30 for
the whole week.
Back for a second year is
the greased pig contest (Fri-
day, 6 p.m.). Rather than tak-
ing home the bacon, the win-
ner will receive a $50 cash
prize.
“It was a lot of fun for the
kids and the people watching,”
Jones said.
Another popular activity
is the RDO Equipment Pedal
Power Tractor Pull (Wednes-
day, 5 p.m.). Kids up to age 10
will vie for prizes and every-
one receives a ribbon.

older or $7.50 for the younger
crowd. Music is by Trevor

and southern rock.
