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. With
14 branches, that will be
14 names advanced to the
Around the Area
Scots to celebrate heritage, honor Bess Davidson Anderson from Aberdeen
Scots from around
the region will gather in
Condon Saturday, Jan. 24,
for the 18 th annual Robert
Burns Supper, the annual
event that honors the birth
date of Scotland’s national
poet as well as the rich
Scottish heritage of the
region.
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.
