A14 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM BUS: continued from Page A1 recommendation. The committee has been working with the Confederat- ed Tribes of the Umatilla In- dian Reservation to craft a bus route and times using infor- mation from an online survey conducted last month. A new survey released Wednesday on the city’s website (www. hermiston.or.us) asks for in- put on a name for the new bus system, which includes op- tions like the Watermelon Ex- press and Hermiston Looper. A map of the proposed bus stops is also available on the website. The route as currently pro- posed would run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, stopping in 25 loca- tions and making one circuit through town each hour. As- sistant city manager Mark Morgan said adding any more hours per week would neces- sitate hiring a second driv- er, raising costs. The initial survey about the bus system indicated that 74 percent of respondents preferred contin- uous daytime service to a split shift that would serve com- muters in the mornings and again in the late afternoon. In an Aug. 8 work ses- sion with the Hermiston City Council, CTUIR Planning Director JD Tovey said the cost to the city would depend greatly on the size of the sys- tem. He said the tribes have access to significant amounts of federal grant money for HALLOWEEN: continued from Page A1 family of Hermiston. Tonya Thiel said she made all of the full-body costumes herself. It’s a family tradition, she said, for everyone to decide on a theme and go together with a group costume. Other groups didn’t coordinate. Tess Alexan- der and Levi Nelson were downtown with Alexan- der’s younger sister, but Al- transportation and could bring in more using Hermis- ton’s contribution as a match and counting Hermiston rid- ers in their system-wide rid- ership count. The Kayak Pub- lic Transit system currently includes an inter-city system that runs between 17 commu- nities. He said a fixed route through Hermiston would allow the bus that runs be- tween cities to stop just once in Hermiston, instead of three times, saving enough time to help the CTUIR reach its goal of extending service to Boardman in the future. At a city council meeting last Monday, city councilor Doug Primmer said he was excited about the work the advisory committee has been doing. “All in all, the route looks pretty comprehensive,” he said. “It serves different areas of town pretty well, and the great thing about it is the cost to the user is zero, and it is in- tended to stay that way.” The city still plans to oper- ate its $2 taxi ticket program for senior and disabled riders. But staff expect that some of those riders will start using the free bus system instead, reducing the $100,000 per year the city has been contrib- uting to that program. The bus system will be open to anyone.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2016 FROM PAGE A1/A7 BULLDOGS: continued from Page A7 half on their own when senior Deven Page broke free for a 39-yard run up the sideline into Hermiston terri- tory, and their opening drive of the second half didn’t in- spire much confidence when Line’s second sack on a third down forced another punt. Since it’s offense couldn’t score, the Bucks defense took matters into its own hands, and when James dropped back for another screen pass senior lineman Jamal Vann was ready and stepped in front of the ball and returned it 10 yards to tie the score. In a game full of cost- ly penalties on both sides, Pendleton picked up a big one with a delay of game on the extra point. After moving the ball back five yards, Se- baztian Corona’s kick went wide left to preserve the tie. Pendleton finished the game with nine penalties for 85 yards and Hermiston was penalized 17 times for 127 yards. With James struggling in the passing game, Hermiston went back to the run with some success late in the third quarter, and a 20-yard run by Peter Earl highlighted a string of six-straight runs to bring the Bulldogs down to Pendleton’s 10-yard line to start the fourth quarter. On first and goal James took the snap and rolled to the left where a Pendle- ton defender was waiting. James made the first would- be tackler miss, then low- ered his shoulder pads and pushed through the tackles of two more Bucks before getting an escort for the last five yards into the end zone. The extra point was good to make it 13-6 with 11:27 to play. “It was a blown play on a bad snap, and I was just try- ing to get into the end zone,” James said. “It was a tough game, but I tried to do my best to do what I could for my team.” Late in the 4th quarter, The Bucks got the look the STAFF PHOTO BY E.J.

It was surreal,” Line said of the game’s final two minutes. “I couldn’t believe it, it was so fun and exciting.” Looking for the win, the Bucks went for two but Bower was forced to scram- ble and his pass into traffic was easily broken up by Ena and another Bulldog. “I knew that (Bower) was going to roll out and I ex- pected it,” Ena said. “And I just got it.” The Bucks weren’t ready to concede, but couldn’t gain any ground after recovering the onside kick at Hermis- ton’s 47, forcing the long field goal try as time expired. Pendleton finished with just 114 total yards while Hermiston mustered 270. The loss ended the sea- son for Pendleton, while the Bulldogs hope they can use the win to get themselves a little momentum heading into the first round of the playoffs this week. ——— PHS 0 0 6 6 — 12 HHS 0 6 0 7 — 13 Scoring plays 2nd Quarter 2:17 — HHS, Dayshawn Neal 23 pass from Andrew James (Neal kick missed), 6-0 3rd Quarter 8:24 — PHS, Jamal Vann 10 yard interception return (Sebaztian Corona kick missed), 6-6 4th Quarter 11:27 — HHS, James 10 run (Neal kick), 13-6 :19 — PHS, Nick Lani 27 pass from Nick Bower (pass incomplete), 13-12 Individual statistics PASSING — Pendleton (8-20-2, 78, TD): Nick Bower 8-19-1, 78, TD; Nick Lani 0-1-1.

Heidi was born in Spokane Washington on July 1, 1970. She has been really addicted to Christmas since she was a baby. She attended grade school, middle school high school and college there. After she finished school she worked at UPS for 17 years. After she quit UPS to help take care of her mother, she started a house cleaning business named Ms. Mops. It was at this time that she decided to go online to find her true love. I met Heidi in 2008. When we met she had two boys Tanner and Casey. I had three boys Kenny, Stanley, and Evan. When she decided to move down here she wanted to try real estate as a hobby job and stay at home with the boys. That worked for almost a month and she started doing real estate full-time. I donʼt think sheʼs really cut out for stay-at-home mom duties. In the beginning it was pretty slow for her. Well as we all know she turned out to be a pretty darn good agent and I think she now knows more people in town than I do. Well to make a long story short itʼs going on nine years now and she is almost the shortest one in the family. So if you want to know why sheʼs always wearing those tall heels is because she is trying to keep up with the boys. Heidiʼs hobbies include: working in the yard and working at work.
