REGION Tuesday, June 25, 2019 East Oregonian A3 First-year brewfest proves a big hit Hundreds attend inaugural event in Roy Raley Park By KATHY ANEY East Oregonian PENDLETON — The fi rst-ever Wild West Brew- fest transformed Roy Raley Park into microbrew central. About 650 people stopped by the park Satur- day to listen to music and sample everything from lagers, pilsners and pale ales to stouts, porters and IPAs. If one wasn’t in the mood for a Nutcrusher Peanut Butter Porter, there was Fuzztail Heff, A Beer Named Sue or 24 other brews. Non-beer afi - cionados could sip cider and other libations. The microbrews hailed from breweries around the Northwest. The gathering ran from noon to 9 p.m. Organizer Liam Hughes, director of Pendleton Parks and Rec- reation, said he was excited by the results of the inau- gural event. Profi ts go to support the Pendle- ton Parks and Recreation Youth Scholarship Fund. “It went great — just super smooth,” Hughes said. “It ramped up as the evening went on.” He doesn’t yet know how much money the event pulled in for the schol- arship, but fi gured they reached the breakeven point at around 350 people. ——— Contact Kathy Aney at kaney@eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0810.

Police identify victim in fatal M-F stabbing East Oregonian MILTON-FREEWATER — Milton-Freewater Police Chief Doug Boedigheimer identifi ed the victim of the fatal stabbing that occurred Friday as Christian Rodri- guez Calvillo, 22, of Milton-Freewater. Boedigheimer also reported police have not made any arrests in the case. Milton-Freewater police and paramedics responded to 911 calls early Friday about a male stabbing vicim on the 600 block of Ward Street. Paramedics trans- ported Calvillo to Provi- dence St. Mary Medical Center, Walla Walla. He later died en route to Kadlec Regional Medical Center, Richland, Washington. According to Boedigheimer, offi cers obtained a warrant and searched Calvillo’s resi- dence at 604 Ward St. Mem- bers of the Oregon State Police crime lab processed the scene and collected evi- dence, which they logged into the evidence room at the Milton-Freewater Police Department. And the State Medical Examiner in Clackamas autopsied the body Mon- HealthyMC.org day and ruled the cause of death as homicide. Mil- ton-Freewater detectives were present. Boedigheimer stated the investigation continues. Oregon State Courts records show Calvillo has several aliases, including Christian Alejandro Rodri- guez and Cristian Alejandro Rodriguez-Calvillo. He has a 2015 conviction in Uma- tilla County for hit-and-run with injury. He also faced a 2017 charge of methamphet- amine possession, but the Umatilla County District Attorney’s Offi ce dismissed the case for lack of evidence. BRIEFLY Questions about Willow Creek Dam?
