Crop duster plane crashes in Hermiston
By JAYATI
RAMAKRISHNAN
East Oregonian
A pilot suffered minor
injuries after crashing his
crop duster plane in a fi eld
in Hermiston on Thursday a
little before 3 p.m.
According to Sgt. Seth
Cooney of Oregon State
Police, the man was fi nished
with his work for the day
and returning to the airport
with an empty tank.
“For unknown reasons,
witnesses indicate that
he inverted and crashed,”
Cooney said.
Cooney said he did not
know the identity of the
pilot, but he was the only
person in the plane.
Umatilla County Fire
District personnel said they
didn’t know whether it was
fuel or pesticide that had
leaked out of the plane when
it crashed, but a hazardous
materials truck arrived at
the scene about a half hour
after the crash.
State looking for volunteer ombudsmen in Umatilla County
By JADE MCDOWELL
East Oregonian
If a nursing home resi-
dent has a complaint about
their care, a certifi ed long-
term care ombudsman can
advocate for change on their
behalf.
Umatilla County has 16
long-term care facilities, but
no certifi ed ombudsmen for
residents to turn to. The state
hopes to recruit some soon.
Natascha
Cronin,
a
recruitment specialist for the
Oregon Offi ce of the Long-
Term Care Ombudsman, said
her offi ce hopes to schedule
training sessions in the area
this summer. The volunteer
position requires about 48
hours of training before cer-
tifi cation, and involves about
four hours of volunteer work
per week once certifi ed.
“It’s really a way to give
back,” she said.
The experience can also
provide volunteers with edu-
cation about long-term care
facilities that could come in
useful someday when they or
a loved one enters a similar
living situation.
Cronin said ombuds-
men are assigned to a spe-
cifi c long-term care facility
or adult foster home, then
set to work getting to know
the residents and staff. When
a resident has a complaint,
the independent ombudsman
investigates the source of the
problem and advocates for
solution.
“It could be something as
small as their dinner is always
cold or it takes 45 minutes for
someone to answer their call
light, to as severe as abuse or
neglect,” she said.
In one example, an
ombudsman worked with
a facility on changing their
menu after the high-carbohy-
drate options were contrib-
uting to a diabetic resident’s
erratic blood sugar.
The ombudsman is over-
seen by a deputy from the
Oregon Offi ce of the Long-
Term Care Ombudsman who
can mentor them and assist
with diffi cult cases.
Volunteers must be at
least 21 years old, have reli-
able transportation and
pass a criminal background
check. For more information,
call 1-800-522-2602 or visit

Hermiston High announces
changes to administration
HERMISTON
—
Hermiston High School
will have some changes to
its administration next year.
Starting in July, assistant
principal Scott Depew will
move to the district offi ce,
and current dean of stu-
dents Blaine Braithwaite
will take his place.
Depew will start a new
role as the director of sec-
ondary instruction, over-
seeing instructional pro-
grams and services for sixth
through 12th grades. Super-
intendent Tricia Mooney
said historically, assis-
tant superintendent Bryn
Browning has overseen
curriculum and instruction
for all grades, but Depew’s
role will allow her to focus
on kindergarten through
fi fth grade curriculum.
Mooney said while
Depew’s position is a new
one for the district, they are
not adding an administrator
position to their budget. An
administrative position was
vacated at the beginning
of the 2018-19 school year
when Operations Direc-
tor Brad Wayland abruptly
resigned his position, and
Mooney said with Depew’s
new role, the number of
administrators will stay the
same.
Braithwaite will step
into the assistant principal-
ship after one year in Herm-
iston. Previously, he spent
21 years teaching in the
Stanfi eld School District.
Depew has been an
assistant principal in Herm-
iston since 2015. Hermiston
High School is now looking
to fi ll the dean of students
position.
