He’s never done the French portion of the Camino and doesn’t speak French, but he has a trusty guidebook and said villages along the Camino are used to international pilgrims who don’t necessarily speak the language. At each stop Clupny can add a new stamp to his guidebook, and at the end will receive a certifi- cate in Latin, similar to the one he received for doing the 500-mile stretch through BTW continued from Page A1 “Agriculture benefits all Oregonians by ensur- ing food security, providing jobs, preserving the envi- ronment, and enhancing our quality of life,” Anne Marie Moss, communica- tions director for the Ore- gon Farm Bureau said in a statement. “It’s particularly impressive when you real- ize that farmers and ranchers represent less than 1 percent of the state’s population.” To celebrate, Oregon res- STAFF PHOTO BY JADE MCDOWELL.

A training is scheduled on April 2 for new volun- teers interested in becom- ing a CASA, which takes 30 hours of training and a back- ground check to qualify. Money donated on behalf of Clupny will be used for such trainings in the future. The goal, Rome said, is to serve the area’s most vulner- able children and help them find a safe and loving home. Clupny leaves for Europe April 5. He said he hoped people will be inspired by his 1,000 mile walk and donate to CASA through Umatilla-Morrow County Head Start.

The downside is that there will be no parade this year, as organizers didn’t feel there was a safe route around EOTEC and didn’t want to have the parade separated from the rest of the event. Organizers also have to pay to rent EOTEC for the weekend. While the Cinco de Mayo nonprofit organiza- tion is doing the planning for the event, Lopez said they were being supported by the city, including the parks and recreation depart- ment and Hispanic Advi- sory Committee. Fetter said the city was happy to help with the transition to the new location. “I think it’s a really strong move for them,” he said. Clara Beas Fitzgerald, a city councilor who said she stepped down as presi- dent of the Cinco de Mayo group in order to make room for a younger gener- ation of leaders, said they hope to make Hermiston’s Cinco de Mayo event the biggest in Eastern Oregon. CINCO DE MAYO Continued from Page A1 Lopez said moving out to EOTEC will be a big change, but the facility was specifically designed for events like Cinco de Mayo. The carnival, for example, will be bigger than ever in the greenway built for car- nival rides at the Umatilla County Fair. Last year the committee also wasn’t allowed to host a beer garden due to a “no alcohol” rule at city parks, and they had problems with people sneaking it in. This year alcohol is allowed, and the contained nature of the EOTEC property will allow for better security. It will also address problems that happened last year with people running in front of traffic on Elm Avenue. “One main reason (for the change) is safety — people crossing open roads around the event and kids being unattended with so SHOP ONLINE 24/7 FORDCOUNTRY.COM Your ck ru local t arters! headqu going on now!
