A14 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM BUTTE: continued from Page A1 saic projects with stu- dents — including one on display in the High- land Hills library and the other at Martha’s House. The Butte project began in 2013. Temple has undertaken many mosaics on his own, and likes the process of re-using and re-purposing materials. He enjoys shar- ing his interests with his students, especially the metaphor of mosaics. “It’s all built from shat- tered and broken pieces. Many of the items we use might just be thrown away ... but we found a use for it,” he said. “Students be- gin to see that no matter how broken something seems, there is value.” Suggested initially by one of his students, Tem- ple said the idea moved from the conceptional stage to choosing particu- lar students to work on the project. Prior to actually beginning to piece togeth- er the mosaic, they dis- cussed the history of the art form, the importance of safety while working on the project and tech- niques. From the beginning, the plan was to use it as a fundraiser for the Herm- iston Education Founda- tion. The group, Temple said, enhances education- al opportunities through- out the district by pro- viding grants for special programs and projects. After tackling the proj- CRIME: continued from Page A1 Edmiston also discussed crime stats for juvenile of- fenders. The department processed 186 juveniles for 315 different crimes. Drug charges are low- er among juveniles and charges for alcohol stayed the same as last year, but ston WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 2017 FROM PAGE A1 ect, Temple found it was going to take longer than he had anticipated. Stu- dents looked forward to meeting together to work on the project — but also wanted time to visit and be silly, Temple said. “I had to reconcile to myself ... while we were making progress, it wasn’t all necessarily focused on the mosaic,” he said. Temple brought some plates and tiles as exam- ples of materials to be used for the project. He then asked students to collect items that could be re-purposed for the Butte mosaic — letting them know what color tones were needed. “That’s part of the mo- saic experience,” Tem- ple explained. “Students would come back and say where they got that piece.” In addition, Temple used tape to divide the project into sections. Stu- dents were then assigned a portion they were re- sponsible for. It also helped students begin to envision the pro- cess. When a piece is so big, Temple said, students couldn’t see progress when they were laying down a dime-sized piece of material — but they could see their section filling up. “That’s what made it click,” Temple said. “They took ownership of their section.” The completed project is currently on display at the Hermiston Confer- ence Center.

Charges of disorderly con- duct, harassment, assault and menacing were also down among juvenile of- fenders, Edmiston said. “It’s interesting that those things are down in the juvenile world, but in the adult world they’re up,” Edmiston said. Edmiston also reviewed patrol statistics — offi- cer-initiated activity is down 12 percent, and traf- fic stops are down 13 per- cent. An unexpected trend, Edmiston said, appeared with sick leave. “Use of sick leave in- creased 86 percent,” Ed- miston said. A total of 2,280 hours were used for sick leave — essentially one full-time employee. He said after identifying A color rendering using Microsoft Paint of the Hermiston Butte. Art teacher Patrick Temple used it to guide groups of fifth grade students from Highland Hills Elementary School to create a mosaic that will raise money for the Hermiston Education Foundation. the trend in May, he has discussed it with the de- partment. Edmiston said that his- torically, Hermiston has had low violent crime rates, and high proper- ty crime rates — and that officers are trying to teach citizens to avoid being vic- timized. “We know there’s of- fenders, and there’s peo- ple who allow themselves to be victimized,” he said. “Not on purpose, but by not locking their doors or something like that. We try to impede offenders, but also to teach people to less- en the likelihood they’ll be victimized.” Edmiston said he couldn’t compare Hermis- ton crime statistics to those of nearby towns, because many other cities don’t publish their statistics. “I get calls all the time from people contemplating moving to the area, asking about schools, crime, spe- cific neighborhoods,” he said. “I think it’s import- ant to report things, even things we’re not proud of.” The complete crime re- port is available on the city of Hermiston’s website.
