Filipino group gets hat trick The Eastern Oregon Philippine-American Community earned a hat trick with the Main Street Cowboys Dress-Up Parade. The group brought home the Sweepstakes Award during the Sept. 9 event, which served to kick off the 2017 Pendleton Round-Up. Noemi Wiseman said the group also has received awards during the 2014 and 2016 parades. Wiseman said members of the group are proud to share and embrace the Fili- pino culture, maintain close family ties and always find time to have a get-together amid everyone’s hectic work schedules. The group, Wiseman said, also shares the 2017 trophy with all Filipinos living in Eastern Oregon. For more information about EOPAC, call Wiseman at 541-215-5603. M-F man receives Rotary award Photo courtesy Curtiss Nelson Some of the winners of Tum-A-Lum Lumber in Pendleton’s Pinewood Derby show off their prizes. Pinewood Derby races into Tum-A-Lum Children enjoyed chills, spills and thrills while racing cars in Pendleton on Aug. 19 at Tum-A-Lum Lumber. Pinewood Derby cars were making high-speed dashes to the finish line at the local lumber yard, who sponsored the car races. Tum-A-Lum provided free derby cars, food, seating, and a state-of-the-art digital racetrack that displays scale speeds of up to 197 mph on a linked computer display. The children were all smiles as they received their trophies and prizes after competing in the event. The cars start out as a simple block of pine, and are cut and shaved to resemble anything the child can imagine. This year, 22 cars were entered. This is the second year of the event, and the company plans on hosting it again next year.

Echo recognizes good neighbor Sue Winter was recognized with the Good Neighbor Award during Echo’s National Night Out event. This is the first year the award was presented. Organizers plan to continue the yearly award to recognize the ongoing efforts of Echo residents who are making contributions to improve the quality of life in the community. In other news in Echo, the city council recently chose the name and logo for the hiking/walking trail that will overlay the Thielsen Street sidewalks. The drawing is of a tule mat teepee and will include the American Indian name for the Echo area, T’ko. A graphic artist will provide a professional rendition that can be used on signs and stencils. According to the September newsletter distrib- uted by the city of Echo, the area was named for the abundance of tules that grew on the swamps of the Echo Meadows. Tocappo, Place of the Tules, was one of the permanent Umatilla villages before the Treaty of 1855. Tules were used for food and to make mats for sleeping or to cover teepees or lodges.

First-time donor shines during blood drive The Aug. 21 American Red Cross blood drive held at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Hermiston included first-time donor Maria Lourdes Garcia. Volunteer Patti Perkins said the drive competed with the solar eclipse, which resulted in many missed appointments. There were 39 donors, which resulted in 33 units being collected. Altrusa International of Hermiston provided the canteen. Perkins said walk-ins are welcome, but it’s helpful if donors schedule an appointment. The next blood drive at Good Shepherd is Monday, Sept. 18 from 12:30-6 p.m. To schedule an appointment, call 800-448-3543. Also, a service group is needed for the December blood drive. For details, call Perkins at 541-571-5372. P et of the Week Pip If you want a friendly and playful companion, Pip may just be the perfect choice for you. She’s energetic girl and loves kids.
