Harris The Hermiston Area Regional Transit bus leaves a bus stop on Southwest Third Street on Tuesday in Hermiston. Hermiston bus system expanding its hours riders were all going to the same three locations: the hospital, Lifeways and Walmart. By JAYATI RAMAKRISHNAN STAFF WRITER Starting in February, Hermis- ton residents will have increased access to public transit. Hermiston Area Regional Transit, or HART, will increase its circulation from six routes a day to 10, beginning Feb. 4. The service will be available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, increasing from its current hours of 9:12 a.m. to 4:48 p.m. The routes will stay the same, with 21 stops on each route, and the ser- vice, operated by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reser- vation’s Kayak Public Transit system, will remain free to the public. In 2017, the system’s first full year of operation, they gave 2,723 rides. In 2018, they gave 4,812 rides, accord- ing to Kayak Transit Coordinator Susan Johnson. Hermiston Assistant City Man- ager Mark Morgan said the city ini- tially introduced the program with the hope of supplementing the senior/dis- abled taxi program. When assessing the program, he said, 45 percent of the users needed the service between noon and 5 p.m., and two thirds of the “On January 16, we had a total of 28 passengers,” she said. “The next day we had 14. That’s kind of the way it is.” Susan Johnson, Kayak Transit Coordinator Johnson said the increased hours will allow them to hire another driver, bringing them to one full-time and two part-time drivers. She said this spring they will also be getting a 22-passen- ger bus, which she said they hope will increase ridership. While they haven’t collected any official data on HART riders, Morgan said anecdotally, the users are not nec- essarily seniors or disabled, but rather people who don’t have another public transit option. Johnson said based on drivers’ MEDICAL DIRECTORY To advertise in the Medical Directory, please call: Jeanne at 541-564-4531 or Audra at 541-564-4538 observations, the most popular stops are Walmart, Good Shepherd Medical Center, and the Columbia Drive stop, where the Department of Human Ser- vices and Blue Mountain Community College are located. She said ridership varies from day to day. “On January 16, we had a total of 28 passengers,” she said. “The next day we had 14. That’s kind of the way it is.” Morgan said he hopes people will use the two services in tandem — while a person who works nights may not be able to take the bus home, they can use the free service to at least get to work. He said if riders can access Google Maps, it will tell them the most con- venient bus stop for their location at any given time, including the updated hours. The Tribes’ planning director J.D. Tovey said the decision to expand hours was based on some extra grant money they had. He said operating costs for HART come out to around $200,000. He said he hopes the expanded hours will make it more accessible to people in the workforce. HEPPNER — Rape defendant Eduardo Salas of Irrigon is back in the Umatilla County Jail after bailing out in 2017. Salas, 61, has pleaded not guilty to one count of attempted first-degree sex- ual abuse, two counts of first-degree rape and nine counts of first-degree sex- ual abuse for harming two girls younger than 12 between April 1, 2016, and May 28, 2017. He posted $10,000 bail on July 27, 2017, and had to live under security release conditions, including not having contact with either victim and staying at least 500 feet from them. The Morrow County Sheriff’s Office arrested Salas on Jan. 7 and returned him to the Pendleton jail for violating conditions of his release. Deputy district attorney Richard Tovey in court documents stated Salas should remain in jail after coming too near one of the victims. Tovey in his declaration to the court stated Morrow County sheriff’s deputy Lance Bose responded to a report from a relative of a victim in the case. That led Bose to review secu- rity camera footage show- ing Salas was within 500 feet of one victim for 6-8 minutes at a gas station. Bose also contacted Salas who said he was at the sta- tion but did not recognize the girl. Circuit Judge Eva Tem- ple in response signed the warrant for Salas’ arrest and upped his bail to $300,000. District Attorney Justin Nelson on Jan. 9 asked the court to allow the sheriff’s office to use an electric stun belt and belly chains on Salas when he is court based upon a recommen- dation from the sheriff’s office. Circuit Judge Jon Lieuallen approved that request Jan. 10. Lieual- len also noted the court would review the neces- sity for the restraints with prosecution and defense attorneys before hearings begin. The next proceeding in the case is a trial readiness hearing Thursday. Sheriff steps in to help save horses HERMISTON HERALD Umatilla County Sher- iff Terry Rowan said he is now involved in saving the horses at the Buck Bro- goitti Animal Rescue. Rowan, who is pres- ident of the Buck Bro- goitti advisory board, also warned people to stay off the large-animal sanctuary just outside Pendleton. Sanctuary director Tam- era Brogoitti announced last week she was closing the nonprofit for lack of revenue, help and direc- tion from its board of advi- sors. She also said the 15 horses on her almost-300 FAMILY DENTISTRY acres were about to go hungry. Community Equine Outreach of Eastern Wash- ington, a nonprofit in Mesa, Washington, raised enough money to provide four tons of hay for the horses and volunteered to oversee their adoptions. Laura Stark, director of organization, said all the horses look healthy and could potentially find new homes, and the hay should last about three weeks. She also reported Com- munity Equine Outreach was pleased to work with Rowan.
