On May 25, 2015, Community Bank (for- merly Bank of Wallowa County) will celebrate its 60 th anniversary. The bank is one of the 24 remaining independent banks in the state of Oregon (in 1982 that number was 88). Com- munity Bank is now one of the last remaining inde- pendent banks operating in Northeastern Oregon and Southeastern Washington. Since 1991 Community Bank has expanded signifi- cantly, from two branches and 13 employees to 14 full-service branches and more than 130 employees. In 1991, Community Bank managed and protected $15 million for its customers. Today, that number exceeds $320 million. According to a state- ment from the bank, Com- munity Bank “prides itself on investing money back into the communities it serves in the form of busi- ness and personal loans. In addition 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 the dedication of our employees, and the support of our customers, who un- derstand the importance of ‘banking local.’ If it wasn’t for these folks, Community Bank would have become another statistic long ago,” says President and CEO Tom Moran. As a thank-you to local communities and custom- ers, Community Bank is conducting a year-long Silver Sweepstakes to cel- ebrate its 60 th anniversary. Each month, 60 ounces of silver bullion will be given away…that’s one 10-ounce bar each to six winners. Drawings will be held at each branch on the last full business day of each month, with the first draw- ing to be held Jan. 30.

Events of the Burns Supper will begin at 2 p.m. at the Condon Elks Lodge and continue until 5 p.m. During that time, the family of Eliza ‘Bess’ Davidson and C.D. ‘Carl’ Anderson will be celebrated. A tra- ditional meal of haggis, neeps and tatties, Scotch eggs and shortbread will be served; some of Burns’ most famous works will be read, recited and sung; and the pipes and drums will make the hall resound with traditional Scottish music. A count of the clans will be taken and, of course, toasts will be made to the ‘Old Country,’ to the honored family, to absent friends, to the pipers and drummers and ‘to a haggis.’ Bess Davidson came to America through Ellis Is- land alone. Her mother had died and the whereabouts of her father by the time she was 10 years old were unknown. At the age of 17, an uncle in America, Alex- ander Livingston Duthie, sponsored her voyage to the new country in 1910 and she traveled across the country headed for an es- tablishment of Scots in the vicinity of Condon. She made her home with Alex and Eliza Duthie and taught school at Mat- ney Flat and Lost Valley until she married C.D. Carl Anderson in 1915. They farmed in the Ferry Canyon area west of Condon first, then moved to the Pine Ridge homestead of Carl’s family and farmed there until Carl’s death in 1971. Bess eventually moved to Condon, spending her last years at The Dalles. She died Oct. 23, 1983. Her grandchildren, Bob Anderson and wife Gloria of Condon, Jean Wilson and husband Doug of Con- don and Irrigon, and Alan Anderson and wife Susie of Condon, and their families will be among the honored guests Saturday. At the conclusion of the program, all participants and audience members gather in a circle, hand in hand, and sing together one of Burns’ most well-known songs, Auld Lang Syne,’ “for the sake of old times.” For those not ready to call it a day, the merri- ment often continues at the Elks Lodge with additional piping and dancing. And evening dinner offerings will be available from the Lodge’s dining room for those who didn’t fill up on haggis earlier in the day. time with credit for time served, to run concurrent with all previously imposed sentences.
