ARMAND LARIVE MIDDLE SCHOOL: •Cristian Mata received $7,070 for “A Touch of Tim- pani,” for the purchase of two timpani for the band program. Vehicle pursuit ends in arrest The strips were suc- cessful but Martinez con- tinued to drive the vehicle onto Interstate 82 across the bridge into Washing- ton northbound toward the Tri-Cities. The car came to a stop in the middle of the free- way overpass of Cof- fi n Road, according to the Hermiston Police Department. Martinez was taken into custody and is cur- rently lodged in the Ben- ton County Jail. Hermiston Police Chief Jason Edmiston said that interstate pursuits are uncommon, but the sever- ity of crimes committed by Martinez justifi ed the heightened response. He said the pursuit will be reviewed, like all other pursuits, to assure that the police department responded within policy. Yaktri News reported that Martinez was arrested on 10 felony warrants, including one for fi rst-de- gree rape. He is also fac- ing charges for reck- less driving, eluding the police, and possession of methamphetamine. HERMISTON HERALD Hermiston and Umatilla police departments arrested a Umatilla man wanted on several warrants for sex crimes Monday morning following a vehicle pur- suit across state lines. Javier Noe Martinez, 29, was arrested after Hermiston police spot- ted a vehicle in which he was a passenger around 8:30 a.m., according to a news release. Police said the vehi- cle was being driven by Deanna Tinker, 29, of Hermiston. After police spot- ted the vehicle, Martinez then pushed Tinker out of the vehicle near West Highland Avenue and Southwest 11th Street in Hermiston. He got in the driver’s seat, and fl ed the scene. Offi cers reportedly requested aid for Tinker. The pursuit left Herm- iston, and headed toward Umatilla where offi cers of the Umatilla Police Department were able to use spike strips to blow the car’s tires.

School board talks enrollment, superintendent evaluation By JESSICA POLLARD STAFF WRITER According to the Herm- iston School District’s most recent enrollment report, three more students joined the district last month, leav- ing total enrollment at 5,757 so far this year. It’s 21 students less than this time last year, but admin- istrators and board members aren’t too concerned. “When you look around at 21 students across K-12, you don’t feel 21 students,” Superintendent Tricia Mooney said at the district’s most recent board meeting last week, on Nov.12. The district is working to wrap up its Continuous Improvement Plan, which is due to the state on Dec. 6. All districts in Oregon must submit CIPs in order to get access to their allotment of state and federal grant fund- ing, including money from the Student Success Act, which passed through leg- d 23r islature this year and will bring $500 million to school districts statewide. Assistant Superinten- dent Bryn Browning said that the district could pos- sibly see a higher alloca- tion in Title 1C federal grant funding. Last year, the Inter- Mountain Education Service District received $1.38 mil- lion in the funding, which goes to migrant educational programs. This year, the district has 191 migrant students. Last year, there were 115. “With that comes a very diverse set of needs,” Browning stated. Also this month, the Hermiston School District board completed its fi rst evaluation of Mooney, who was offi cially hired for the position in September, 2018. Prior to that, Mooney served as an interim superintendent, starting July, 2017 after then-superintendent Fred Maiocco left for active duty in the military. Maiocco resigned in August, 2018. The review addressed Mooney’s fi rst full year as superintendent. The board commended Mooney for placing a dean of students in each elemen- tary school, re-organiz- ing secondary-level staff to make room for a direc- tor of secondary instruc- tion. The review also stated that Mooney helped main- tain “sound fi scal policies” within the district and has enhanced community out- reach programs for the diverse student population. “It’s been a real plea- sure this last year,” said vice board chair Ginny Hol- thus to Mooney during last week’s meeting. “We’re very happy to have you.” The school board also presented several certifi cates to members of the Hermis- ton FFA, who attended the 92nd National FFA Conven- tion in Indianapolis, Indiana, earlier this month. Certifi - cates were also presented to the slow-pitch softball team for winning districts and placing second in state.
