COMMUNITY BRIEFING
Nazarene church
hosts outdoor
service, potluck
The EEA started Young
Eagle events as a way to get
children ages 8-17 inter-
ested in the world of avia-
tion by taking them up for
free fl ights. Each child who
participates also receives
a pamphlet with a code to
access free online ground
schooling and a log book
they can use to log hours to
work toward getting their
private pilot’s license. They
can even log their f light
time from the Young Eagles
event itself.
“How many kids we fl y
is dependent on how many
pilots volunteer,” Miller
explained, stating this year
nine pilots volunteered their
time and aircraft. The pilots
also provide the fuel for the
aircraft, which means the
club doesn’t have to put too
much money into hosting
the event.
Miller said they brought
in a lot of people and overall
it was “very positive.”
They plan to host the
event again next year
around the same time.

PENDLETON — David
Miller, president of Experi-
mental Aircraft Association
Chapter 219, Pendleton, got
hooked on aviation after
going up for a fl ight years
ago at a Young Eagles event
while on a road trip with
his family. He said he did
not pursue getting his pilot
license until later in life but
that was where it all started.
Now as president of the
local fl ying club he puts a
large emphasis on partic-
ipating in Young Eagles
events. Chapter 219 has
hosted the annual Young
Eagles event at the Eastern
Oregon Regional Airport,
Pendleton, for quite some
time now. Miller labeled
this year’s event a success.
“It went really well. 118
kids fl ew that were regis-
tered and four walk-ins so
a 122 kids total. Doubled
our numbers from last
year. We told the airport
management we wanted
to go bigger and better this
year,” Miller said.

PENDLETON — The
multi-talented Korby Lenker
is the next artist to take the
stage during Live @ Great
Pacific. A Nashville sing-
er-songwriter, author, actor,
screenwriter, multi-instru-
mentalist and storyteller,
Lenker has been called a
“roots-music Renaissance
man.”
As part of a monthly
concert series, the upcom-
i ng show is Fr id ay,

Lenker
Brewery &
Pub, three of its beers will be
available on tap. Open to all
ages, there is no cover charge.
Hailing from Twin Falls,
Idaho, where he sang old
hymns in church, Lenker
discovered classic rock and
new wave music in high
school. He hosted his fi rst
band practice in a buddy’s
basement, eventually lead-
ing him to East Nashville,
Lenker’s adopted home since
2007.
Somewhere along the
way, he launched a solo
career as a bluegrass-loving,
fl at-picking folkie. As Lenk-
er’s sound diversifi ed, so did
his resume.
In 2015, a year after
releasing his self-titled
album, Lenker published
a short story collection,
“Medium Hero.” And two
years after that, he began
writing “Morse Code,” a
scripted TV series loosely
based on his own life. His
eighth studio album, “Man
in the Maroon,” released in
2021, features wide-rang-
ing Americana that doesn’t
observe any traditional
boundaries.

FINANCING THAT FITS YOUR BUDGET!
Paul H. Richards, 81, of
Pendleton died Saturday, June 18,
at his home after a brief illness.
He was born to Ralph J.
Richards and Laura Hobbs on
Dec. 23, 1940, in Fort Duchesne,
Utah, in their family home on an
Indian reservation. The family
later moved to Sedro Woolley and
then Seattle, Washington, before
moving to Junction City, Oregon. Paul graduated from
Junction City High School where he enjoyed playing
baseball and football. As a pitcher, he threw two no-
hitters on the varsity baseball team.
After graduation, he went on to barber college in
Portland, Oregon. He married the love of his life, Elaine
Nauss, in 1960 in Eugene. After graduating from Molar
Barber College, he was offered a job at Patton’s Barber
Shop in Pendleton. Paul later purchased the shop and
changed the name to “Heads Up.”
Paul worked for 55 years, giving an estimated
170,000 haircuts. He loved going to work and especially
valued the long-term relationships established with
his clients. He was appointed to the Oregon Board of
Barbering, where he served for eight years. He later
served on the Oregon Cosmetology Board.
Paul was a devoted husband and father. He attended
virtually every single one of his children’s games and/or
events over the years. Many fond memories were made
while bird hunting with his sons in the fields around
Pendleton. He also enjoyed playing golf with his many
friends.
He was an active member of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in many church
callings over the years and especially valued his time
working with the youth and as a high priest group leader.
Later, he and Elaine volunteered in the Columbia River
Temple for four years.
Paul is survived by his wife, Elaine; and four children,
Tammy, Paul Jr., Steven (Kim), all of Pendleton, and
David (Beth) of Baker City, Oregon. He is preceded in
death by his parents and sister, Sandra Lester.
His funeral service was held on Thursday, June 23,
2022, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
in Pendleton.
His family is forever grateful to the many dear friends
and family for their expressions of love and support.
Online condolences may be shared with the family at
