Ernie McCabe and
Mary Jean Bristow Mc-
Cabe, married Apr. 18,
1948 at the Ione Com-
munity Church in Ione,
are celebrating 70 years
of marriage. Faith, love,
family and friends have
been the anchors in the 70
year marriage of Ernie and
Mary Jean.
Two of Mary Jean’s
brothers, Jerry and Donald
(two of the four infamous
Bristow boys), were on
their way to the wedding
when an Ione resident asked
if they were on their way
to Ernie’s wedding. They
responded, no, Ernie’s fu-
neral. Over the past 70
years Ernie and Mary Jean
and the Bristow boys, along
with their spouses, have
gathered many times to
enjoy fun and laughter to-
gether.

and upon registering at the
hotel, the clerk, noticing
they were so dressed up,
asked if this was a special
occasion. The new groom
replied, no, we just got
married. The clerk gave
them the honeymoon suite,
prompting family and
friends to retell the story
many times.
The couple raised four
children: Pam Doherty,
John McCabe, Lisa Gifford,
and Laurie Wilson. They
have been fortunate to love
all their sons- and daughter-
in-law: Jim Doherty, Sonja
McCabe, Joe Gifford, and
Dan Wilson. They have
12 grandchildren: Jenni-
fer Doherty, Sara Doherty
Davis, Marissa McCabe
Turner, Michael, Matthew
and Mark McCabe, Maisie
Gifford Vanderhoof, Lionel
Gifford, Emily Harsin Gif-
ford Heryla, Jane Wilson,
Andrea Hansen and Eric
Wilson.
John’s children pro-
vided them with years of
enjoyment watching and
supporting Heppner Mus-
tang sports. Whenever pos-
sible they traveled to watch
Pam’s daughters who both
pitched softball from age
10 through college. They
traveled to Hermiston to
watch Lisa’s children in
soccer and to Newberg to
see Laurie’s children at
swim meets, water polo
tournaments and lacrosse
and basketball games.
“They have loved each
grandchild for her or his
own special qualities,” said
a family member. Now they
are enjoying their 12 great-
grandchildren: Grayson and
Merris Davis, Logan and
Dylan Rose Turner, Morgan
McCabe, Branton, Stetson
and Canaan McCabe, Aidan
and Dylan Vanderhoof and
George and Oliver Heryla.
Other than a brief
two and a half years liv-
ing at Bay City, OR, they
have lived their married
life in Ione and Heppner
surrounded by the family,
friends and communities
they love. Mary Jean has
been heard saying how
many long, hard years she
and Ernie have been mar-
ried, but she is still saying
it with a twinkle in her eye
and Ernie still grins when
she says it.

BEO Bancorp
(OTCBB:BEOB) and its
subsidiary, Bank of Eastern
Oregon, announced first
quarter 2018 consolidated
net income of $758,000 or
$0.64 per share, compared
to $801,000 or $0.67 per
share for first quarter 2017.
Total assets were $393.4
million up 4.4 percent year
over year. Net loans of
$312.8 million were up 2.9
percent from the same pe-
riod in 2017, while deposits
were at $349.5 million up
4.5 percent year over year.
“2018 is starting off
as expected. The Federal
Reserve has been bumping
up interest rates, which has
had a positive effect on net
interest margin. This has
been offset by a loan loss
provision for the quarter
of $300,000 compared to
no provision in 1Q2017.
This is attributed to some
year-end and first quarter
adjustments brought on by
the Tax Cut and Jobs Act.
We have also seen another
tough renewal season for
some of our ag borrowers,
which warrants prudent and
reasonable allocations to
the ALLL,” said President
and CEO Jeff Bailey.
Chief Financial Of-
ficer Mark Lemmon said,
“Earnings per share was
down slightly year over
year, but up slightly from
4Q2017. Shareholder eq-
uity is up 6.4 percent over
the past year and our return
on average assets and return
on average equity numbers
are solid at 0.75 percent and
9.44 percent respectively,
our income taxes are down
36 percent, or $145,000
from 1Q2017, while not a
surprise, it is a reminder of
the impact of tax reform for
corporations.”
Chief Operations Of-
ficer Gary Propheter said,
“The growth in loans and
deposits is moderate and
coming from all areas of our
network. We appreciate the
support of our customers
and the hard work of our
banking team members.”
“Spring field work is
in full swing. Timely rains
help offset the effects of
the relatively mild winter.
Commodity prices have
rebounded a bit from their
lows and we remain opti-
mistic about the ag sector
performance in 2018,” con-
cluded Bailey.
