Oregon hospitality shines for eclipse travelers A Canadian father and his three children recently enjoyed kind hospitality from people in Eastern Oregon. Three days before the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse, Kirk Furniss said he decided to hit the road with his kids Jake, 10, and 5-year-old twins Brody and Katie. After looking at a map, Furniss and the adven- turous foursome departed Sunday morning from their home in Kamloops, British Columbia. The trio drove about eight hours and set up camp near Dale. In addition to enjoying the beautiful landscape, Furniss was appreciative of fellow campers stopping by to see if they needed any supplies. “Americans are the friendliest and most generous people on earth,” he said. “It was such an amazing experi- ence, one my kids and I will never forget.” Pendleton resident cashes in at Community Bank The luck of the draw made Mark Jaeger a little richer recently. Community Bank announced the Pendleton man, who won a $100 monthly drawing in May, also won in July. Jaeger, who cashed in through the bank’s Win-Win Certifi cate of Deposit, also is eligible for a $1,000 drawing at the end of the year. The program, which Community Bank introduced in January, is structured to encourage saving through multiple incentives, including a low minimum opening deposit of $25. In addition, customers have opportunities to win monthly and annual drawings, with increased odds based on additional minimum deposits. To be eligible for the Win-Win CD, individuals must be at least 18 years old with primary residences in Oregon and Washington counties where Community Bank operates branches.

Elizabethan Manor wrangles in royalty Members of the Pend- leton Round-Up court and the Happy Canyon princesses were given the royal treatment recently while visiting Elizabethan Manor. The Pendleton assisted living facility hosted a barbecue in the women’s honor as the residents of the facility gear up for rodeo and activities during Round-Up week, which is Sept. 13-16. Malia Lieuallen said Eric Otzen- berger, who recently moved to the center, was thrilled. She said this will be Otzenberger’s fi rst expe- rience with Round-Up.
