The students, accord- ing to a news release, are “looking for the par- ticipation of communi- ty members to share the history and identity of the city, build upon ex- isting efforts and set the direction for the future of Umatilla.” The event will be fam- ily-friendly, with child- care, Spanish translation, free food and a free pro- fessional photo booth.

Hermiston School District is bursting at the seams “New and safe schools are good for Hermiston’s economy.” Hermiston is the larg- est town in Eastern Ore- gon and the second fastest growing school district in Oregon. Did you know that be- cause we are growing at such a fast rate the Hermis- ton School District has had to utilize 34 modular class- rooms across the district since our last school bond that passed in 2008. Most of those modular tempo- rary classrooms serve 320 students and most of them are located on our elemen- tary school campuses. The district is on track to grow another 24 percent, which equates to 1,100 additional students within the next sev- en years. If this bond does not pass there will be even more modular classrooms throughout the district. New and safe schools are good for Hermiston’s economy. When business- es, corporations or em- ployee recruits are seeking information about Herm- iston, schools and what they offer are typically at the top of the list for inqui- ries, which leads to visits and tours of the facilities.

Undersheriff Jim Little- field said they are working with the horses’ owner, Jai- me Haines of Irrigon, after fielding reports about the animals in early January. Littlefield said two of the older horses are “very thin,” and it may take some time before they are able to regain their weight. In the meantime, deputies will continue to work with Haines before they consider any further action. The horses have not been confiscated and re- main in their pasture at 80361 Banks Lane. Lit- tlefield said it is possible Haines, 37, will be cit- ed with animal neglect, though that decision has not been made yet. Right now, Littlefield said the case is ongoing and they are simply working on getting the animals back to a healthy weight. “Whenever we can, we’ll help out and try to get some feed out to them,” Littlefield said. I found Dad’s remote in the fridge again. …I’m beginning to get worried. IT’S NOT LIKE HIM. to grow and provide for the needs of our students, we must think about building and expanding to adequate- ly provide the classroom space needed. What is included in the Bond? Replace the aging Rocky Heights Elementa- ry School on the same site, build a new elementary school on district owned property located on Theater Lane, expand the Hermis- ton High School, replace Highland Hills Elementary School on the same site and address deferred mainte- nance issues at Sandstone Middle School. We have been blessed with great leadership, ad- ministration and faculty taking us to new heights, and now is the time to back them up with the facility improvements, safe new schools, additions and space we need, all for the benefit for our children and our fu- ture leaders.
