Camino de Santiago

Charles has felt the same
draw, pushing him to do the
whole 1,000 in one stretch.
“I’m not going to be
alone,” he said. “I’m going
to be with every other per-
son from around the world
who is there.”
He said he’ll be able to
converse with travelers who
speak English and Span-
ish and he will be interested
to hear their opinions on
Americans. 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

Clupny said he’s doing
the trip for himself but
also for CASA. Court-Ap-
pointed Special Advocates
act on behalf of children in
the foster system, as an adult
whose only responsibility is
to advocate for what is best
for the child.
“You represent the chil-
dren in court, you have to
keep up with the legal sys-
tem and keep up with the
law, you have to do visita-
tions, get to know both sets
of parents, attorneys,” he
said. “It can be frustrating.”
Jesus Rome, the area’s
CASA coordinator, said they
appreciate Clupny’s efforts
to raise money and his vol-
unteer work for the program.

ful guy,” Rome said. “He’s
been in CASA for a number
of years and he’s passionate
about kids in foster care.”
He said there are about
160 to 170 foster kids in
Umatilla and Morrow coun-
ties, but only 32 active
CASAs at the moment. 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

much traffic,” Lopez said.
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.

MAYO

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
