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!
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.
A 26-year-old Pendleton School District substitute teacher had been hired to fill in for an absent high school teacher. He's now in jail for having sex three times with a 17-year-old girl.
Bedford Bridge is a beautiful walkway over the Umatilla River that allows access from the high school to downtown Pendleton and baseball/softball fields. Before and after school and during lunch kids are hanging out there and that's causing police and administrators a huge headache.
