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,

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.”

pair of Hermiston has been
named Region 5 retailer of
the year by Cub Cadet.
Cub Cadet designs and
manufactures outdoor pow-
er equipment. Its Region 5
encompasses most of the
western half of the United
States.
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.
