Man convicted
of sex abuse
Rodngo Chairez was convicted
of first degree Sex Abuse on March
8, and sentenced to serve more than
six years in prison for his
molestation of an 11 -year- old girl,
said Morrow County District
Attorney David C. Allen.
According to Allen, Chairez
stated that it was the girls "who were
all over him” and he never
"disrespected" the girls.
Judge Rudy Murgo sentenced
Chairez to the mandatory' 75 months
under Measure 11.
"This has been a horrible
violation of a child's trust and an
experience that the girls will never
forget," said Allen. " Justice is
simply never served in these cases.
Nonetheless, it is my hope that they
can somehow leam to trust again."
Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Exe.
Director
Welcome visitors to County
Morrow and Heppner's Wee Bit
O' Ireland celebration, started 19
years ago by Jim Farley in his
showroom with a handful of Irish
descendants and KUMA. Such fun
it was, the celebration grew and
grew and grew. Some of the local
"leprechauns" say it's too big, but
when we hear how much people
love it, "We Feel Good All Over!"
A visitor today said his family
left here in 1904, after the flood,
and had never returned until he
brought his family to visit this week.
He paid many compliments to our
community, "cheerful, friendly,
clean, attractive," and a place he
would like to move to with his
family, "bring them home," so to
speak. One of the perks of working
for the Chamber is viewing our town
through the eyes of a visitor.
This week will find one and all
"greening up" our community.
Volunteers will be cleaning up,
painting the shamrock and preparing
for the influx of visitors. Smiles
and green are required attire. Did
you know, you get pinched if you
don't wear green. (Truth is, green
and St. Patrick's Day is a U.S.
custom. In native Ireland, green is
not popular as it is connected with
the green flag, a time when Ireland
was not free.)
Green is connected with hope
and nature. These rolling hills are
greening up, but rain would be most
welcome by those County Morrow
farmers and ranchers, so "come rain
or come shme, the weekend will
be mighty fine." The Willow Creek
Valley can be so proud of its
citizens. Whenever a big event
comes along, one and all pitch in
to make it a grand success. The
Chamber of Commerce wishes one
and all a great green weekend.
