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.

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

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.
