Shrine football game
Heppner Mustang foot-

and Logan Grieb started
their 10-day East-West
Shrine game experience by
traveling to the Al Kader
Shrine Temple in Wilson-

The players then spent
the night and went to the
Portland Shriners Hospital

with some of the children
at the hospital and then
viewed some of the work
that is done there.
The teams were then
bused to Pendleton, where
they were treated to a dinner
by the local Shrine club.
It was then back on the

Morrow County Road Dept. would like to
remind all motorists that with any road
maintenance project to be aware of the
workers, they are very important to us.
Watch for signs, flags and work-zone employees
and equipment. Morrow County’s goal is to provide
a safe roadway. However, it is always up to the
motorist to drive according to conditions. Be patient
and plan ahead. Leave early if you know you will
be driving through work zones. Please use extreme
caution and common sense. They will do their best
and would appreciate your patience

Including...YOU WILL NEED TO BE
AWARE OF WET PAINT AND STAY WITHIN YOUR
LANE OF TRAVEL... Travelers should use caution when
encountering a road striping operation and should not drive
across the stripes when the paint is still wet. The paint used
to stripe roads is a water-borne, nontoxic paint containing
reflective glass beads. Motorists who accidentally get road
paint on their vehicles should remove it immediately, before
the paint sets up, with a pressure washer.
Again be prepared and be safe.

A large crowd attended
a spaghetti feed to benefit
local man Mark Schlichting
last Saturday at the Heppner
Elks Lodge. Schlichting has
recently undergone several
serious surgeries for a brain
infection; funds raised will
go to help with his medical
bills.
More fundraisers are
planned to benefit the lo-
cal man—this Friday, Aug.

a couples’ golf scramble
benefit tournament as part
of the annual couples’ tour-
nament. Registration starts
at 5:30 p.m. with a $10 en-
trée fee. This event is open

On Saturday, Aug. 5,
from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., a car
wash fundraiser is planned
in the Les Schwab Tire Cen-
ter back parking lot.

BEO reports second quarter earnings
HEPPNER—BEO
Bancorp and its subsidiary,
Bank of Eastern Oregon,
announced second quarter
2017 consolidated net in-
come of $742,000, or $0.62
per share, compared to
$815,000 or $0.67 per share
for second quarter 2016.
Year-to-date earnings were
$1.543 million compared to
$1.597 million for the first
six months of 2016. Total
assets were $396 million,
up 13.1 percent year-over-
year. Net loans of $322.9
million were up 10.3 per-
cent from the same period
in 2016, while deposits
were at $352.6 million,
up 14.1 percent year-over-
year. Shareholders’ equity
increased by $2.37 million
or 8.2 percent from June
2016.
“Net income is down
slightly when compared to
last year. This is directly
attributable to our provision
for possible loans losses
being up by $150,000 year-
over-year. Being an agricul-
tural-based institution, we
are affected by the ups and
downs in the ag sector. The
lower commodity prices, as
well as lower production in
2016, warrant an increase
in the loan loss provision.
That said, the 2017 crop
conditions have improved
dramatically from last year
and recently prices have
also improved slightly,”

“Return on Average

a strong start in our new
Athena branch and have
enjoyed the warm welcome
into that community,” said
