Good News Only

And speaking of puppy
paw prints in the Thomson
Square cement, surely not
surprising is the plethora
of deer hoof prints on an
area of a new Gale Street
sidewalk. More difficult
to explain would be the
adult shoe prints that extend
down much of that same
sidewalk. Both probably
permanent reminders of the
2021 sidewalk project.
For anyone who doesn’t
already know, Upper Place
Concessions continues to
serve eats while at a tem-
porary spot across the high-
way from Green Feed.
There’s another HHS
intern reporter on board at
the GT. Readers will sure-
ly enjoy Hannah Finch’s
coverage of local youth
activities.
What a thoughtful
kindness, the HHS TSA
students constructed and
installed an access ramp at
a local home.
Successful school
sports results last week
included middle school’s
showing at The Dalles
cross-country meet in
which Lily Nichols, Riley
Archer and Brooklyn Hen-
dricks took the first three
spots in their 3000 run, and
Cooper Wight placed first
for the boys. Both Hep-
pner and Ione high schools
also enjoyed team wins
in football and volleyball
competitions.
David Sykes attended
the UO football game vs
Arizona in Eugene Satur-
day, along with daughter,
Camille, her partner, Eddie
Gonzales and his father,
Frank Gonzales. They re-
ported a good game, great
weather and a fun time.
Grandmothers, Naomi
Gonzales and April Sykes
also had fun babysitting
grandson, Oscar Gonzales,
age 2, at home in Mil-
waukie, OR.
Fall season officially
appeared on our calendars
last week, and many, many
hunters appeared on our
streets as they came, headed
for the mountains, and then
reappeared as they headed
back home, hopefully after
spending some time and
money in our businesses.
From Chris Lewis late
last week, “My grand-
daughter Maci Davidson
is a senior at Pueblo West
High School in Colorado.
In a class of 385 students,
she was elected to be home-
coming princess. Her fa-
ther, Tim Davidson, and
grandmothers Chris Lewis
and Kayrene Qualls are
flying to Colorado so they
can go to the football game,
and her father can escort her
onto the field at half-time.”
Dianne Mullens and
Kathy Martin celebrated
their September birthdays,
both 76 years old, on the
16 th at lunch with thirteen
friends at the Route 74
Café. Catch-up conver-
sations, jokes about age,
hilarious birthday cards,
good food and drinks, was
an all-around good way to
celebrate birthdays.
Readers will surely
appreciate the smiles you
bring to their faces when
you send your “good-news
tidbits” before Monday af-
ternoon to dbrosnan123@
gmail.com, or call 541-676-
5382 or 541-223-1490, or
stop me on the street.
Here’s hoping that
some good news comes to
everyone reading this.

BEO collaborates
with EVERFI
financial literacy
program
Bank of Eastern Or-
egon continues its part-
nership with area middle
and high schools, offering
them the EVERFI finan-
cial literacy program at no
cost. The bank has offered
this educational program
to area schools since 2012
and it’s available for the
2021-22 school year for
44 elementary, middle and
high schools in Oregon and
Washington.
“Understanding your
finances and making sound
financial decisions is key to
a strong future, but many
people don’t know where to
turn to get the information
they need in a way that is
age-appropriate and eas-
ily understandable,” said
EVERFI co-founder and
president, Ray Martinez.
“By laying the foundation
for financial literacy at a
pivotal age, students will
be prepared with the skills
needed to enter into the
new economy and make
a smooth transition into
adulthood.”
BEO EVP and chief
operations officer Becky
Kindle said, “We’ve found
the EVERFI program to be
an excellent way to supple-
ment the teaching of finan-
cial literacy skills to high
school and middle school
students. In 2012 we de-
cided to make an additional
investment in the education
of our students in the rural
communities we serve.”
In the 2020-21 school
year this bank-sponsored
program reached 88 stu-
dents participating across
five schools. This includ-
ed 202 hours of cumula-
tive learning. “During this
school year 74 percent of
these students were at-
tending school partially or
entirely online. Our hope
is that the 2021-22 school
year will include full atten-
dance,” said Kindle, “and
we would love to see more
schools using the EVERFI
program as a supplement to
their regular curriculum.”
To bring the EVERFI
program to your school this
year, please contact Phillip
Clark, the bank’s EVERFI
customer success manager,
at pclark@everfi.com. For
more information about the
Bank of Eastern Oregon/
EVERFI partnership, and
to arrange for a demon-
stration of the financial
literacy tools available for
your school, please contact
Becky Kindle, EVP and
chief operations officer at
541-676-0201. “The team
at Bank of Eastern Oregon
would be happy to do a
school visit to discuss the
program, our partnership,
and even answer any re-
al-world financial questions
students may have.”
