A6 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2017 COMMUNITY Volunteers paint town Sno Road supports ShelterBox In an effort to help pro- vide disaster relief for peo- ple around the world, Sno Road Winery is supporting the ShelterBox project. The Echo winery is help- ing the effort through the sale of the Shelter Box 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is $38 per bottle and $19 of each purchase goes to the Rotary International’s ShelterBox USA Disaster Relief Program. ShelterBoxes arrive in a sturdy green container and are designed to help people who have lost everything. They are filled with practi- cal tools and utensils. Each contains a family-sized tent that protects people from the elements and provides a safe space in which people can start to recover. The con- tents differ depending on the disaster and the climate, but items such as solar lights, water storage and purifi- cation equipment, thermal blankets and cooking uten- sils help start the process of creating a home. For more information or to make a purchase, call 541- 376-0421 or stop by Sno Road Winery, 111 W. Main St., Echo. For more about the ShelterBox program, visit www.shelterbox.org. Ag & Auto Repair earns Retailer of the Year award STAFF PHOTO BY JAYATI RAMAKRISHNAN Several volunteers showed up Saturday morning to repaint some of downtown Stanfield’s old buildings. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED BY KEN BONNEY HERMISTON HERALD A group of Stanfield residents spent their Satur- day repainting three of the town’s old buildings in a volunteer event coordinat- ed by the city. From 9 a.m., about 20 people painted two build- ings at the corner of Main Street and West Coe Ave- nue, formerly the Stanfield City Council chamber and an old meat market, and planned to paint the old hardware store on Main Street once they were fin- ished. Scott Morris, a city of Stanfield employee, said he was pleased with the turn- out. “I’m surprised we had such a nice day,” he said. Morris said after seeing how this event went, the city would decide whether to have more volunteer events for projects around the city. “There’s nothing planned, but I think we will,” he said. “There’s a couple of other buildings we’d like to take care of.” Nelly Chavez said she decided to come out and support her city. “I’ve been a resident for 25 years,” she said. “It was time for me to come and help.” Ken Bonney, third from left, accepts the Region 5 Retailer of the Year Award at the national Cub Cadet dealers convention in Nashville, Tenn.

Owner Ken Bonney said he was “shocked” to get the award. “I had no idea I was go- ing to get it,” he said in an email. He attributed his busi- ness’s success to a “home- town feel” instead of being a big box store. He also credited customer loyalty and “some of the best pric- es and financing programs.” Bonney’s Ag and Auto Re- pair services cars, trucks, lawn mowers and tractors, and also sells tractors. Bon- ney started it in 1996. A news release by Cub Cadet stated that the Re- tailer of the Year award is based on sales, customer service, growth and com- mitment to the brand.
