Pendleton resident thanks honest citizen To the angel in the brown shirt at D&B on June 27: Monday, June 26 I took a fried to the Tri-Cities for an eye exam. Wednesday, June 28 I was to take her back for eye surgery. On Tuesday, June 27 I was taking care of my business I stopped at D&B Supply for garden tools and as I came out I remembered I still needed to check my tires. As I drove into Les Schwab I noticed my purse was not beside me. Panic-stricken, I rushed back, praying “God protect my purse ’til I get there.” I saw it was not in the cart where I would have left it. My panic level went over the top. I rushed in, asking a clerk if anyone had turned in a purse. She smiled and said yes, a man had, and there is the man. You were the most beautiful angel in a brown shirt I have ever seen. I thanked you but I didn’t get your name. Your kind deed made it possible for me to take my friend for her eye surgery on Wednesday, as my driver’s license was in my purse. I want to thank you publicly for being the angel God sent to answer my prayer. Thank you again. Pendleton is a very good place to live.

EOU online program ranked best in Oregon A recent survey from The Best Schools names Eastern Oregon Universi- ty’s online early childhood education degree as one of the top program offerings in the country. The La Grande-based school’s ECE program was deemed the top in Oregon and 16th nationwide. The ranking is a result of an evaluation process surveying program quality, courses offered, faculty, rankings, awards and a university’s reputation for providing quality online programs. “We are excited about this national recognition announcement,” said Rae Ette Newman-Conedera, ECE program coordinator. “This is the second time the early childhood program has been nationally recognized since its inception during the fall of 2015.” EOU’s two-year, non-li- censure major in early child- hood education prepares students to work with young children from birth to age 8, gaining knowledge and skills needed to support, educate and advocate for young chil- dren in a variety of careers. Nearly two dozen students will graduate this year as the first class to complete EOU’s online program. Graduates of the major often go on to create high- quality early care and educa- tional programs as teachers, program directors and Hermiston. 8 a.m. weigh-in fol- lowed by meeting at 8:45 a.m. (Margaret Wetterling 541-720- 0276) GREENFIELD GRANGE PINOCHLE, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Greenfield Grange 579, 209 N.W.
