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.

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.

use of tobacco increased.
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.

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.
