Hermiston
July 29, 2016
Patricia “Pat” Smith
passed away on Friday, July
29, 2016, at age 83, in Herm-
iston, Ore. She passed away
with her family by her side.
Pat was born
in Portland, Ore.,
to Stella Coffman
and Wayne Arnold.
She graduated from
Franklin High School
in Portland, Ore. She
married her husband,
Charles Smith, in Smith
1956. Pat and Chuck
raised their six daughters and
one son in Imbler, Ore.
They moved to Hermis-
ton in 1983 where they man-
aged the Butter Creek Apart-
ments. In 1986 they moved
to Umatilla to manage the
Juniper Apartments. In 1990
they purchased their ¿nal
home in Umatilla, where she
lived until January 2016, be-
fore moving into an assisted
living home.
Pat was a member of the
Emblem Club in Hermiston,
Ore., where she served many
of¿ces. In 1989 she was
elected into the presidency
for the Emblem Club where
she served for three years.
She enjoyed many picnics,
bingo, and conventions. She
won several awards for the
newsletter she published.
She loved belonging to the
Emblem Club, and her fam-
ily joined her many times for
events, where she loved to
show us off. She was part of
the Grandparent Program in
2000 at Sunset Elementary,
where she loved helping the
teachers and the kids.
Pat always said her fam-
ily was her life. She was an
amazing
daughter,
mother, grandmother
and
great-grand-
mother, and she al-
ways put her family
¿rst. It didn¶t take
much to make Grand-
ma¶s day, whether
it be a phone call, a
letter, a card or a vis-
it. She enjoyed many road
trips, camping trips, looking
at Christmas lights and just
visiting. She taught us that
family meant everything.
She had an undeniable love
for all who entered her life;
everyone she met would end
up calling her Mom, sister,
or Grandma Pat, whether she
was related to them or not.
She is predeceased by both
her parents, her husband, her
son Mark, her grandson Chris,
and great-grandson Leo. She
is survived by her six daugh-
ters, Bonnie Fraunfelder,
Donna Townsend, Vickey
Black, Jewell Robertson,
Myrleen Storms and Barbara
Green, as well as 15 grand-
children and 15 great-grand-
children.
Her family invites you to
a “Celebration of Life for Pat
Smith” at the Best Western in

Hermiston police arrest-
ed a 20-year-old man on
suspicion he forced his way
into the home of an ex-girl-
friend and sexually assault-
ed her.
Umatilla County Circuit
Court records show Anto-
nio Rodriguez of 10 N.E.
Sixth St., Hermiston, faces
initial charges of ¿rst-de-
gree burglary, ¿rst-degree
sexual abuse, ¿rst-degree
attempted rape, all felo-
nies, and misdemeanor
fourth-degree assault.
Hermiston Police Chief
Jason Edmiston said the
survivor came to the police
station Monday afternoon
and reported Rodriguez as-
saulted her at about 3 that
morning at her apartment
on South Highway 395,
Hermiston. Rodriguez and
the survivor once had a re-

Edmiston said after the in-
terview, Guerrero arrested

Staff writer
Hermiston police of¿cers
used force 14 times in the
2015-2016 ¿scal year, twice
as many times as the year
before and a little higher than
the national average.
Police Chief Jason Edmis-
ton presented his report to the
Hermiston Safety Committee
before Monday¶s city coun-
cil meeting and provided a
copy to the East Oregonian.
The department classi¿es
a use of force as “any inci-
dent which rises to the level
of more than just the appli-
cation of handcuffs on a per-
son.” If of¿cers have to use
any physical controls, such
as an arm bar take-down or
leg sweep, the incident is
considered use of force and
placed under review.
The department used
force in 0.94 percent of its
1,492 arrests in the last year.
The police department has
consistently held use of force
incidents to less than one
percent for at least the last
six years.
According to the Bureau
of Justice Statistics¶ po-
lice-public contact survey,
among persons who had
contact with police in 2008,
0. percent had force used
against them. This is the same
national percentage for 2005
and 2002, other years when
the survey was conducted.
Every use of force by the
Hermiston department is re-
viewed through an internal
chain of command. After
an incident where force is
used, the supervisor on duty
¿lls out a report, which is
forwarded to a captain for
review. The captain reviews
the incident, which may in-
clude watching body camera
footage and asking questions
or raising concerns. Then the
review is forwarded to Ed-
miston, who reads through
the review and will proceed
with a recommendation.
Of the 14 suspects arrest-
ed by force in the last year,
10 were white, three were
Hispanic, and one was black.
“If there was ever a time
Flowers • Candles • Jewelry
• Plants • Balloons & More!
where the use of force ap-
peared to be based on some
kind of bias or other inap-
propriate factors or criminal
elements were involved,
it is my policy and duty to
notify the Of¿ce of the Dis-
trict Attorney and ask for an
outside investigation to be
conducted,” Edmiston said
in a report to the city council
regarding use of force in the
department.
Though use of force dou-
bled over the year, complaints
regarding members of the
department stayed consistent
enjoy ¿shing, camping and
hunting in the mountains, and
visiting family and friends in
the Hermiston area. Dave is a
member of The Dalles Country
Club and plays golf often. They
have seven grandchildren and
two great-grandchildren.
A surprise 50th wedding
anniversary celebration will
be held at Spillway Park in
Umatilla, Ore., at 11 a.m. on
Saturday, August 6, 2016,
hosted by their children:
Jeanne (Richard) Dorr of Sa-
linas, Calif., David Jr. (Tam-
ra) of Benton City, Wash., and
Lori Aichele of The Dalles.
LOPEZ — Robi Williams and Anthony Lopez of Irri-
gon; a girl, Avaya Zavanya Lopez.
Jail, Pendleton.
Edmiston said Hermis-
ton police cited Rodriguez
10 times and arrested him
once before, but he was
a juvenile during most of
those incidents. Court re-
cords show he pleaded no
contest in March to operat-
ing a vehicle without driv-
ing privileges and driving
uninsured.
with previous years at six.
Of those six complaints, two
were made by citizens and
four were internal adminis-
trative reviews, meaning the
complaint came from some-
one within the department.
“I believe this is a good
indication we are able and
willing to µpolice¶ our-
selves,” Edmiston said.
The complaints resulted
in two verbal counseling or
training sessions, three for-
mal letters of reprimand and
one formal admonishment,
but no suspensions.
