Staff photo by Tammy Malgesini Three generations of the Lindley family, including Sa- vannah, 7, and Hunter, 9, were successful in finding the hidden medallion during the National Night Out treasure hunt in Hermiston. The Hermiston Police Department will host a block party in the Lindleys’ neighborhood Tuesday evening as part of National Night Out in Hermiston. Lindley family hones in on treasure hunt HERMISTON — Multiple generations of the Lindley family have been participating in the Hermiston National Night Out treasure hunt for a dozen years. “We do it as a family,” said Allison Lindley. Tim Miears, Hermiston Police Department training officer/evidence custodian, hid the 3-inch medallion at the base of the tree at Theater Sports Park. Initially, he was going to put it higher up in the tree, but wanted peo- ple of all ages to be able to find it. Family members, Lindley said, initially searched at the Field of Dreams and the Hermiston Public Library. How- ever, after reading the second clue (which referenced a baseball diamond) and the bonus clue in the Hermiston Herald (directing people near Harper Road), they honed in on Theater Sports Park. In addition, they determined that the medallion wasn’t hidden within the confines of the baseball field when they figured out that it was beyond “Centerfield,” a reference to John Fogerty’s 1985 hit. “That song is from my era, so I knew right away what it meant,” Lindley said. Lindley, along with her grandchildren Savannah, 7, and Hunter, 9, got up bright and early Wednesday morn- ing to scour the area. A lot of other people, Allison said, were also in the vicinity. As the day heated up, the Lindleys took several breaks. Savannah even cooled down in the park’s sprinklers. With the rest of the family home from work, they returned in the evening after dinner, including the chil- dren’s grandfather, Phil; their father, Brad; and uncle, Devan. While many people were still focused on the baseball diamond, the Lindleys were looking beyond the perimeter. “We saw people on their hands and knees digging in the dirt,” Savannah said. This is the third time the Lindleys have been involved in finding the medallion. In 2015 and 2017, the Lindleys and their neighbors, the South family, were successful in the hunt. Hermiston police and city officials are hosting a block party in the Lindleys’ neighborhood during National Night Out. The festivities are Tuesday, Aug. 6 at 7 p.m. in the vicinity of Southwest 10th Street/Joseph Avenue. Other Hermiston residents are encouraged to orga- nize neighborhood gatherings. As available, police offi- cers and city personnel will stop by to visit with those in attendance. To provide details, contact Miears at 541-667- 5112 or tmiears@hermiston.or.us. National Night Out connects neighbors, police UMATILLA COUNTY — The goal of National Night Out is to encourage people to get out to meet their neighbors. In its 36th year, the initiative helps in creating safer communities as people become familiar with what’s going on in their neighborhood. In addition, it provides a relaxed atmosphere to interact with law enforcement per- sonnel and other first responders. “It’s a community-building campaign,” said Shelly Studebaker, Pendleton Police Department community services officer. “It builds police-community partner- ships and neighborhood camaraderie.” Pendleton and Hermiston events are planned for Tues- day, Aug. 6; while Echo and Stanfield will host activities on Tuesday, Aug. 13. PENDLETON Last year, more than 600 people mingled among their neighbors at nearly a dozen registered parties, Stude- baker said. While the cut-off date for donated supplies for neighborhood events has passed, Studebaker said people can still organize activities in their neighborhoods. “If someone wants to throw a party and let us know where, we will be happy to attend with some officers and visit with people,” Studebaker said. Also, she said there were about 20 entries in the color- ing contest. The winners will be announced Friday. To notify Studebaker about party plans in Pendleton, contact PPD-NNO@ci.pendleton.or.us or 541-276-4411, extension 1109. ECHO In its 13th year of celebrating National Night Out, Echo will host a community event Tuesday, Aug. 13 from 6-8 p.m. at George Park and the Echo Masonic Lodge. A free barbecue includes hot dogs, hamburgers, chips and drinks. Youths can participate in a bicycle rodeo for a chance to win prizes. Also, local businesses have donated items for door prizes and raffle drawings. Bingo and other games will provide fun for all ages.

For more information, call Echo City Hall at 541-376-8411 or Stanfield Police Chief Bryon Zumwalt at 541-449-3245. STANFIELD After a 13-year hiatus, the Stanfield Police Department resumed National Night Out festivities three years ago. This year’s event is Tuesday, Aug. 13 from 6-9 p.m. at Bard Park. Activities include a barbecue, a bike rodeo (prizes provided) and a raffle drawing. In addition, the evening concludes with Stanfield Public Library’s Movie in the Park.
