Umatilla students ‘Shop with a Cop’ By JADE MCDOWELL NEWS EDITOR The spirit of giving was in full effect at the Hermis- ton Walmart last week. Offi cers from Umatilla Police Department brought 15 students from Clara Brownell Middle School in Umatilla to the store for their 15th annual “Shop with a Cop” event on Dec. 11. Students, who might oth- erwise struggle to afford gifts for their families, were given money and a shop- ping buddy to help them buy Christmas presents. Madison Fish, 14, was shopping with offi cer Katie Skillman in the toy aisle, browsing through games and puzzles for the perfect gift. She said her favorite part of the experience was “hanging out” with Skillman. Skillman said Madison came prepared with a hand- written list of who she was buying for and what kind of things they liked. “She knew exactly what she came here for,” she said. Skillman said it was nice to be able to build positive The Hermiston and Pend- leton chamber ambassadors made a rare double appear- ance Thursday night at the ribbon cutting for Afford- able Family Eyewear’s new Hermiston offi ce. “Since Affordable Fam- ily Eyewear is a member of both chambers, we decided to do an event together,” said Kimberly Nevil, pres- ident of the Hermiston Chamber of Commerce. They helped the busi- ness celebrate their new, much larger location at 298 E Gladys Avenue. Owners Allan and Marcia Lambert thanked the community for their support and patience during the remodel process, which ended up taking 20 months. “We didn’t beat Ranch & Home, but that’s OK,” Marcia said, prompting laughter. She said they looked for- ward to continuing working with the community, par- ticularly the partnerships Staff photo by Jade McDowell Aff ordable Family Eyewear owners Allan and Marcia Lambert, center, prepare to cut the ribbon on their new location with Hermiston chamber ambassadors, left, and Pendleton chamber ambassadors, right. foot building is about twice as large at their previous location on Highway 395. “We’re looking forward to working downtown,” he said. “The local businesses have been very support- ive, and we look forward to being down here.” Affordable Family Eye- wear has been open for 12 years in Hermiston, provid- ing eye exams and eyewear.

Varik Rosenburg, 12, and Christian Tejada, 13, were shopping with offi cer Robert Adams. Varik was excited about the gift he got for his brother, which he felt would help them have a fun time playing together, and the gift for his sister, which was based on a movie she loves. “I’m really happy,” he said. During their Walmart visit students also got to say hi to Santa Claus and were provided with treats. After shopping, they planned to head back to the police sta- tion to wrap their gifts and eat lunch with their helpers. Money for the gifts came from Walmart and the Umatilla Police Offi cers Association. Hope is an energetic dog that will need to learn some basic obedience as she will counter surf and jump on people.
