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. At least one will be a Native American so local chiefs have been nominated. The other may be a pioneer or rodeo Round-Up legend. If we had a similar tradition in Tri-Cities, who would you nominate?

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?

The tavern owners say it's a case of mistaken ownership. Pendleton police say it's theft.

60 members of the Oregon Army National Guard (st Battalion, 168th Aviation Regiment) go to Kuwait from the Pendleton Airport to fight ISIS.

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.

FBI, Pendleton police and Umatilla Tribal Police with assault rifles convinced a 27-year-old man to surrender himself on charges of rape and drugs.

  The Pendleton Round-Up is this week. If you host one of the country's oldest, biggest, best and storied rodeos for over 100 years you're bound to have a few ghosts, right? If you want to go looking for ghosts, here's where we suggest:

Celebrities have done their best to shame big game hunters after a dentist accidentally killed a beloved lion in Zimbabwe. Hunters have been depicted as soul-less, selfish demons this summer. That didn't stop a 70-year-old Pendleton woman, grandmother of five, from taking up the sport!

Due to its prominent location, hospital staff were needed for crowd control to keep people away from the red truck where a man took his life.

A Hermiston ambulance called Oregon State Troopers after a Dodge Charger passed on Highway 84 and flipped them off... but it gets way worse than that.

This story will melt your heart. A woman living in Portland "lost" her pit bull and never quit looking for her for two years. She then moved to Pendleton and fours years after losing "Star" she got a call from Portland police.

Dustin Irons was arrested in December on charges of assault and more at a Pendleton motel. He had his day in court this week, well sort of. He saw the judge via teleconference, and apparently wasn't happy about that.
