Morrow County victim assistance
director wins state advocacy award
East Oregonian
Morrow County’s vic-
tim assistance director has
received the 2018 Oregon
District Attorney Associa-
tion Excellence in Victim
Advocacy Award.
Deona Siex was rec-
ognized at the associa-
tion’s summer conference
in Bend on Thursday. The
award us given annually to
one victim advocate/direc-
tor in the state who “has
demonstrated and provided
exceptional support and
service on behalf of crime
victims,” according to a
news release from the Mor-
row County District Attor-
ney’s office.
Siex is the office’s advo-
cate for crime victims
across the county. Accord-
ing to District Attorney
Justin Nelson, she answers
calls “at all hours of the
day and night” and meets
face to face with victims
in hospitals and even trav-
els outside the county when
needed.
Nelson shared a com-
pliment from a recent fel-
ony domestic violence case
in which the survivor said
Siex was kind, understand-
ing and knowledgeable as
she explained every step
along the way.
“Without Deona my
daughter and I would not
have been able to face the
tragedy we faced,” the per-
son wrote. “We were not
alone!”
Nelson said in a state-
ment that Morrow County
was lucky to have Siex
as its victim assistance
director.
“Deona takes time to
work with our victims on a
one-on-one basis to inform
the victims of what is
occurring in court and help
the victims in any way she
can,” he said. “Many of our
cases could not have been
resolved without the tire-
less work of Deona.”

Mosquito control sprays scheduled for Aug. 19
HERMISTON — The
West Umatilla Mosquito
Control District will be con-
ducting more aerial sprays
after a third sample from
west Umatilla County tested
positive for West Nile virus.
The district will use a
twin-engine airplane after
sunset on Sunday, Aug.
19, weather permitting, on
about 10,240 acres north
and east of Hermiston and
along Highway 730 between
the city of Umatilla and the
Umatilla/Morrow County
line. No areas within city
limits are currently sched-
uled for aerial spraying.
The district has had con-
firmed positive samples this
year in Umatilla, near the
Morrow County line and in
east Hermiston. West Nile
virus primarily affects birds
but can also affect humans,
horses and other animals
when bitten by a mosquito
carrying the virus. Most
people infected do not expe-
rience any symptoms, but
some develop mild flu-like
symptoms and in rare cases
can become seriously ill
with inflammation of the
brain. The West Umatilla
Mosquito Control District
encourages individuals with
severe and unusual head-
aches to seek medical care.
The public can assist in
fighting mosquito infesta-
tions by reducing standing
water on their property and
flushing out items like water
troughs for animals on a reg-
ular basis.
For more information, or
to report a mosquito infesta-
tion or dead bird within the
district, call 541-567-5201.
Money taken from till at Pendleton hotels
PENDLETON — Two
hotels on Nye Avenue in
Pendleton were victims of
theft late Wednesday.
The
Hampton
Inn
reported money missing
from its till at 10:52 p.m.
Wednesday evening and
the Holiday Inn Express
reported money missing
from its till at 10:45 p.m.
Pendleton Police Chief
Stuart Roberts said both
cases were being actively
investigated but there were
no suspects. A video still of a
white, bald man with glasses
at the Holiday Inn has been
disseminated to area law
enforcement and will be sent
to the Department of Justice
for statewide dissemination.
Robert said both thefts
were likely performed by
the same person given their
similarity and proximity.

An artist with two Latin
Grammy awards and a pair
of siblings who recently
appeared on the television
show “Little Big Shots”
will perform in Hermiston
next month.
Michael Salgado will
headline a celebration of
Mexico’s Independence
Day at the Eastern Oregon
Trade and Event Center
on Sunday, Sept. 16. The
event will include other
Latino artists, a Mexi-
can-style rodeo, folk danc-
ers, authentic Mexican
food and more starting at
1 p.m.
Organizer Martin Vil-
lanuevas, who owns El
Rodeo Club restaurant in
Umatilla, said he expected
the event to draw people
from around the Pacific
Northwest.
“It’s time for us to cele-
brate something this large,
now that we have a big,
beautiful venue,” he said.
Villanuevas called Sal-
gado a male version of
Selena Quintanilla-Pérez,
one of the most popular
Mexican-American per-
formers of the 1990s, and
said the San Antonio-based
singer has the appeal to
draw in people from com-
munities outside Hermis-
ton. Like Selena, Salgado
is a Tejano musician, mix-
ing music with tradition-
ally Latino roots together
with the sounds of Ameri-
can country music. He per-
forms in both Spanish and
English.
The young sibling duo
Los Luzeros de Rioverde
will also be performing
at EOTEC that day, sing-
ing Norteño songs while
accompanying themselves
on the banjo and accor-
dion. Yaxeni, 11, plays the
accordion and Ricardo, 8,
accompanies them on the
guitar. They were recently
featured on Steve Harvey’s
television show “Little Big
Shots.”
Mariachi bands, folk
dancers and other per-
formers will also take the
stage throughout the after-
noon and into the evening
during the outdoor concert
and rodeo event. While
the event is a celebration
of Mexican Independence
Day, Villanueva said he
hoped that many people
in the community with-
out Mexican heritage will
also come enjoy the music
and get a taste of Mexican
rodeo.
“This is targeted toward
our families,” he said.
“This is love music, happy
music, everyone dance
together music.”
In America, people tend
to think of Cinco de Mayo
as a celebration of Mexi-
co’s independence, but that
holiday is actually a cel-
ebration of a single bat-
tle. Independence Day for
Mexico actually falls on
Sept. 16, and Villanueva
said there was interest in
the local Latino commu-
nity in honoring that day
too.
Tickets for the con-
cert will be available soon
through Ticketmaster.com,
Villanueva said, by search-
ing for events near Herm-
iston, and can also be pur-
chased at the store El
Caporal at 315 S.W. 11th
St. For more informa-
tion about the event, call
509-727-5404.
