One of my favorite things about Pendleton is the local heroes in bronze. They will soon vote on who should be the two new statues.

An elementary school in Pendleton evacuated temporarily so police could investigate a backpack with mysterious powder in it. It turned out to be protein powder for making a shake to drink before exercising. Did they go too far?
A woman at the Oregon State Police crime lab in Bend has been stealing drugs out of the evidence lockers. It could jeopardize hundreds of criminal prosecutions in northeast Oregon and about a 1,000 cases throughout the state.
