Two people died from
crashes on state highways in
Umatilla County during the
Labor Day weekend. Ore-
gon State Police on Tuesday
identified the victims.
James Edward Tincher,
41, of Walla Walla, died in a
head-on crash Sunday night
north of Milton-Freewa-
ter. The multi-vehicle wreck
also injured five other peo-
ple, including two children.
Tincher was driving a
1998 Ford Mustang south on
Highway 11 at a high speed,
according to state police, and
slammed into the back of a
1991 Ford Escort. The Mus-
tang crossed into the north-
bound lanes and smashed
into a 2002 Chevy Suburban.
Tincher died in the crash
before emergency respond-
ers arrived, according to
state police. The crash shut
down the highway for about
six hours.
State police reported
Horacio J. Mendoza Cas-
tillo, 25, of Milton-Freewa-
ter, drove the Escort and had
one passenger, a 24-year-old
man also from Milton-Free-
water. Jason Lee Morgan,
40, of Baker City, drove the
Suburban. His wife, Kara
Morgan, 36, and their two
children, a 6-year-old boy
and 9-year-old girl, were
passengers.

Alexander Ionita, 62, of Salem, died in a rollover wreck on Highway 395 in southern
Umatilla County when his vehicle crashed into Camas Creek.
Local ambulances took
five victims from the crash
to Providence St. Mary Med-
ical Center, Walla Walla. The
Morgan family via social
media reported the hospital
released them the night of
the crash.
The second deadly crash
occurred in the south end of
Umatilla County.
A caller at about 2 p.m.
Monday reported a pickup
in a ditch off the northbound
side of Highway 395 near
milepost 53, south of Ukiah.
State police reported troop-
ers and emergency personnel
responded and found a black
2016 Dodge Ram was head-
ing north on a left turn and
headed off the road, rolled
down an embankment and
landed in Camas Creek.
Alexander Ionita, 62, of
Salem was the driver and
lone occupant, state police
reported. Ionita was wearing
a seatbelt but died in the cab
from injuries.

Pendleton Contra Dance
Community resumes its
monthly events at Pendle-
ton Center for the Arts.
The group welcomes
people of all ages and skill
levels. No experience or
partner is necessary to
participate.
“The goal is to have fun,
enjoy music, meet new and
old friends and learn a little
more each time,” said Jill
Johnson. “If you get lost,
there are more experienced
dancers to guide you.”
The upcoming dance is
Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m.
in the basement at the arts
center, 214 N. Main St.,
Pendleton. The event fea-
tures live music by local
musicians, playing a mix
of bluegrass, old-time, tra-
ditional or even techno
beats. The cost is $8 for
adults or $15 for a cou-
ple. No childcare is pro-
vided, but kids are wel-
come to participate with
their parents.
Contra dancing has
its origins in a range of
folk traditions, includ-
ing English country dance
and Appalachian dancing,
Johnson said. Callers teach
the sequence of the dance
steps before the music
starts.
“It’s a form of social
dancing that one can attend
without a partner,” she
said. “Dancers are paired
up in long lines and fol-
low the instructions of a
caller.”
The dances, Johnson
said, provides a fun eve-
ning with live music and
lots of laughter. There
is no set dress code, but

shoes allow people to turn
easily. Cowboy boots, she

said, are great for contra
dancing. As far as attire,
she said the key is com-
fort — people wear every-
thing from shorts or pants
to skirts or kilts.
The Pendleton Contra
Dance Community hosts
dances the second Satur-
day of each month Sep-
tember through June —
except December and
January when the weather
makes driving more dif-
ficult, Johnson said. For
