Community Bank Announces 60th Anniversary
On May 25, 2015, Community Bank (formerly Bank of Wallowa
County) will celebrate its 60th anniversary. The bank is one of the 24
remaining independent banks in the State of Oregon (in 1982 that num­
ber was 88). Community Bank is now one of the last remaining inde­
pendent banks operating in Northeastern Oregon and Southeastern
Washington.
Since 1991 Community Bank has expanded significantly - from two
branches and 13 employees to 14 full-service branches and over 130
employees. In 1991, Community Bank managed and protected $15
million for their customers. Today, that number exceeds $320 million.
Community Bank prides itself on investing money back into the com­
munities it serves in the form of business and personal loans. In addi­
tion to direct loans, Community Bank is also a large investor in
municipal bonds for schools, roads and sewers, and many other projects
that help to make our communities stronger and a better place to live.
“We owe our success to Hie dedication of our employees, and the
support of our customers, who understand the importance of‘banking
local’. If it wasn’t for these folks, Community Bank would have be­
come another statistic long ago,” says President and CEO, Tom Moran.
As a thank you to the local communities and customers, Community
Bank is conducting a year-long Silver Sweepstakes to celebrate their
60th Anniversary. Each month 60 ounces of silver bullion will be given
away - a 10 oz bar to six lucky winners. Drawings will be held on the
last full business day of each month (at each branch) with, the first draw-
Ing to be held January 30,2015. With fourteen branches, that will be
14 names advanced to the prize drawings. A random drawing of six
names will determine the lucky winners for the month. Enter up to once
purchase necessary and a full disclosure is available at your local Com­
munity Bank or online at www.communitybanknet.com.

Stained Glass Windows Being Restored at Geiser
The Geiser Grand boasted an extravagant stained glass ceiling in
the late nineteenth century. It’s not known why or how it was lost
sometime around 1930. A replacement was created in the course of
the restoration of the Geiser Grand, installed in 1998 at a cost of more
than a quarter of a million dollars. The design for this national historic
landmark was approved by the National Park Service as well as the
State Historic Preservation Officer. Antique nineteenth century glass
was incorporated into the ceiling design; the purple is from Poland
and the red from Germany.
Over the years, dirt has intruded into the skylight that lies above
the stained glass ceiling. A plan to clean and res'tore the pieces of
stained glass was crafted. It’s a complicated endeavor. Structural
loading calculations were made to not cause undue stress on the
building. An approach of building a base platform on the second floor,
and then scaffolding up above that platform was settled on. This pro­
vides for safety and ease of the workers and the ability of the workers
to do their work with confidence.
Local contractors and workers are engaged in this work, including
Rafter M Construction. This continues the tradition the Geiser Grand
set in the 1990's restoration of supporting local businesses.
Work is expected to be completed by Jan. 31 when the Palm Court
will reopen. The public can enjoy this wonderful space during dinner
service every night. Additionally, tours are held on Fridays and Sat­
urdays at 3.30.
Photography Classes Offered at Crossroads
This Friday and Saturday
Crossroads is excited to welcome back Fine Art Photographer/ In­
structor Michael Anderson, an internationally recognized fine art pho­
tographer from West Linn, Ore.; who will be sharing his tricks and
techniques with students. He has received eight international awards
for his fine art photography and he has also received numerous
Awards of Merit from the Columbia Council of Camera Clubs, the
Oregon Professional Photographer’s Association and the Professional
Photographer’s of America. His work has also been featured in Pro­
fessional Photography Magazine and the Photographic Society of
America Journal. Anderson's work is also shown at galleries through­
out the Northwest, including Peterson’s Gallery here in Baker City.
Anderson will be teaching two classes at Crossroads:
Fine Art Photography - Basic to Advanced on Friday, Jan. 30 from
5:30-8:30 p.m. for a cost of $50 formembers and $75 fornon-mem-
bers. Teens and adults are welcome.
Skill level: Aspiring to Advanced
If you have a digital camera and a good eye for art, you can easily
create digital photos that have the potential to beepme works of art.
Even cell phone photos can be turned into fine pieces of art. This
This course will cover camera settings, depth of field; artistic corii^
position and basic photo editing techniques using OnOne Perfect
Photo Suite 9.0. This is not an ordinary photography class, as em­
phasis is placed on the creation of fine art pieces using a digital pho­
tograph as a starting point. The class is taught as a demonstration
class so the student does not need to bring a computer.
The second class Michael will be teaching is High Dynamic Range
(HDR) Photography on Saturday, Jan. 31 from 10-1 p.m. Cost is
again $50 for member and $75 for non-members and is open to teens
through adults. The skill level is for aspiring to advanced photogra­
phers.
If your digital camera has the capability to shoot RAW files, then
this is the class for you. Have you ever wondered why your photos
don’t turn out like what you saw when you clicked the shutter? This
class will cover that topic and show you how to create better photo­
graphs. If your camera does not have the ability to create RAW files,
then this class might not be right for you.
Anderson is the designated HDR Mentor for the Photographic So­
ciety of America.
This course is about using HDR tools and techniques to improve
your photography. Even today’s modem cameras can’t see everything
the human eye can see. That is the reason we are sometimes disap­
pointed when our photos turn out different from what we viewed
when we took the picture. The human eye is amazing and we can use
technology to manipulate our digital photographs to look just right.
You will leave this class knowing how to use the setting features of
your camera fully and how to turn photographs into works of art
through use of the HDR software. Don’t get hung up thinking that
HDR software only creates wild and over-saturated photos, in this
course you will learn how to create natural looking photographs while
still avoiding problems with HDR scenes.
This class will be held in a lecture and demonstration format so you
won t need to bring a computer. Just bring an open mind and lots of
questions. Handouts will be provided and illustrative demonstrations
. T«tBlven so ^at y°u leave the class with a full understanding of
the HDR process.
