C
arl Lino has visited all 50 states and all
seven continents. Despite having chron-
ic obstructive pulmonary disease, or
COPD, that has caused him to cancel
two recent trips, he doesn’t plan to stop traveling.
The former high school principal started seri-
ously traveling about fi ve years ago and typi-
cally goes on monthlong trips. When he re-
tired from Grant Union High School, he was
gifted a monthlong trip to Europe from the
kids and the community, he said.

Rep. Cathy McMorris
Rodgers, R-Wash.
Washington Rep. Cathy Mc-
Morris Rodgers is expected to be
named interior secretary by Presi-
dent-elect Donald Trump, the New
York Times reported.
McMorris Rodgers, elected to a
seventh term last month, has been
mentioned as a possible Interior
Department secretary after she met
with Trump on Nov. 20 in New Jer-
sey.
She also was named a vice
chairwoman of the 13-member
Trump transition executive com-
mittee.
If she gets the nod, McMorris
Rodgers’ seat representing East-
ern Washington would be fi lled in
a special election in the spring or
summer or in next year’s general
election in November.
But Trump has not made a
decision and is still considering
other applicants, a senior transi-
tion offi cial with knowledge of
the selection process but not au-
thorized to speak publicly told
the Tribune News Service late
Friday.
“No offer has been made,” the
offi cial said. “We are still looking
at candidates.”

By Angel Carpenter

U.S. Navy Lt. Robert J. Camp-
bell Martin, son of Dayville resi-
dents Dan and Pam Martin, took
part in the 75th commemoration
of the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor Wednesday, Dec. 7, on the
island of Oahu in Hawaii.
A fleet of aircraft carriers sailed
by the USS Arizona Memorial, sit-
uated directly above the site where
the battleship Arizona sank with
1,177 offi cers and crew on board,
during the attack in 1941.
“All the sailors were on top of the
aircraft carrier and saluted as they
went by,” Pam said of the commem-
oration event. “When they come
into port, they all do that.”
Lt. Martin
was on the John
C. Stennis as
a fl eet of ships
sailed past.
He is a 1997
graduate
of
Dayville High
Lt. Robert
School,
and
J. Campbell has served in
Martin
the Navy for 15
years.
Lt. Martin is currently sta-
tioned on Bainbridge Island,
Washington, and was also once
stationed at Pearl Harbor.
“We’re very proud of our son,”
Pam said. “It was such a sad date,
and my son and lots of people’s
sons got to be a part of the com-
memoration.”

A Grant County Sheriff’s Offi ce deputy was ar-
rested on gun and domestic violence charges over
the weekend.
Joseph A. Hutchison , 25, was arrested by Or-
egon State Police detectives at about 11:35 p.m.
Sunday, Dec. 11, following an incident at his home
in John Day, according to a press release from
Grant County District Attorney Jim Carpenter.
Hutchison has been charged with unlawful use
of a weapon, a class C felony, and three misdemean-
ors — pointing a fi rearm at another, fourth-degree
assault constituting domestic violence and menac-
ing — according to information fi led by Carpenter
in Grant County Circuit Court. Carpenter said in
the court document Hutchison pointed a pistol to-
ward his spouse and knowingly caused her physi-
cal injury.
Hutchison, a corrections deputy for the Grant
County Jail, was transported to the Baker Coun-
ty Jail pending arraignment, Carpenter said. After
being arraigned, Hutchison was released with the
conditions that he “not have contact with the al-
leged victim, not use intoxicants in any form and
not possess fi rearms,” Carpenter said in the press
release.
Carpenter said, while Grant County will remain
the venue for Hutchison’s case, further prosecution
will be through the Baker County District Attor-
ney’s Offi ce. A status hearing is scheduled for 1:15
p.m. Jan. 12 in Grant County Circuit Court.
The investigation remains open, Carpenter said.
According to the Oregon Criminal Justice In-
formation Records Inquiry System, Hutchison is an
active deputy sheriff with Grant County Sheriff’s
Offi ce, and he enrolled in a Department of Public
Safety Standards and Training Basic Corrections
class Sept. 6.
The sheriff’s offi ce declined to comment.
