Wallowa County Chieftain Community wallowa.com November 11, 2015 A9 Better nutrition coming to food bank By Kathleen Ellyn Wallowa County Chieftain In the last two weeks, more than 1,600 pounds of food has been collected from Safeway in Enterprise for the Wallowa County Food Bank. This addition of mostly fresh produce is the result of the merger of Albertsons and Safeway, which took place earlier this year. The new corporate man- agement is a big supporter of the Fresh Alliance Program, which seeks to rescue food and get it into the hands of individuals who need the as- sistance. In larger cities this means that Oregon Food Bank col- lects products that have been pulled from the shelves and takes them to a central, refrig- erated warehouse for distribu- tion to food banks. In Wallowa County it means that Community Con- nection picks up the food from our local Safeway and takes it immediately to senior meal sites and food bank do- nation sites in the county. Seventy percent of that food was fresh produce, in- cluding melon salads, fresh green salads, individually Kathleen Ellyn/Chieftain This selection of food, donated by Safeway of Enterprise to Wallowa County Food Bank, went home with seniors Nov. 6. packaged lunch salads and more. Safeway also is donat- ing meat and dairy products in addition to packaged foods and bread. According to Community Connection manager Connie Guentert, Wallowa County Food Bank served 356 people in the county in October. In all, 145 boxes were distribut- ed last month. That number is expected to rise from Novem- ber through March. “They are the toughest months in Wallowa Coun- ty and historically we serve more people,” Guentert said. Severely injured, abandoned dog recovering, awaiting new home By Steve Tool Courtesy of Cherlyn Underwood Wallowa County Chieftain A dog that recently was abandoned with severe injuries is recovering and in search of a new home, thanks in part to the generosity of Cherlyn Un- derwood of Joseph. Underwood received a call from her daughter, Maia Un- derwood of Pendleton, who said she found a dog that was hit by a car along I-84 near Meacham, about 25 miles west of La Grande. The dog had no identi¿cation tags. Cherlyn Underwood called Carol Vencill of the Wallowa County Humane Society in Enterprise to help with the an- imal and promised Vencill she would foster the animal if the Humane Society would help with expenses. Maia Underwood returned to the scene with a truck and a carrier to collect the dog, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. She transported the dog to Double Arrow Veterinary Clinic in Enterprise, where Dr. Randy Greenshields primarily treated the dog, which had a dislocat- ed hip and also had to be neu- tered because of other trauma. After a terrible experience the dog’s fate has turned pos- itive, so Cherlyn Underwood Grande Ronde Symphony set to open season Wallowa County Chieftain Two kickoff concerts for the Grande Ronde Symphony Orchestra’s 68th season are slated for Nov. 18 in the McK- enzie Theater at Eastern Ore- gon University in La Grande and Nov. 21 at Baker High School in Baker City. These are the opening concerts un- der the baton of conductor Zeke Fetrow and will feature pieces by Beethoven, Grieg and others. As an added fea- ture, the Baker High School Choir will perform with the symphony during both events Tickets cost $10, with reduced tickets of $8 for se- niors, $2 for college students and $1 for students in grades 8-12. Students in 7th grade and younger will be admitted for free. Tickets are available at Direct Music Source at 1010 Adams in La Grande or at Betty’s Books, 1813 Main St. in Baker City. Tickets are also available at the door of the McKenzie Theater. Chance was found abandoned and with a dislocated hind leg on I-84 near Meacham. Sometimes people don’t meet the ¿nancial guidelines but they have something come up – we never turn them away.” Community Connection — in concert with other mem- bers of the Wallowa County Food Council — is keen to help individuals understand that both giving and accepting help are part of what makes a community. “Our ¿nancial guidelines are very generous, broader than the SNAP guidelines,” said Guentert. “We encourage people to come in. We never turn anyone away. “There are people in the community that have food insecurities that don’t use the food bank due to perceived stigma. There shouldn’t be a stigma. At one point or anoth- er, everybody needs a helping hand.” Food Bank collection sites: • Community Connection 702 NW 1st St, in Enterprise: 8 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m. Monday through Friday • Old VFW Hall in Wal- lowa: 1-3 p.m. the second and third Tuesday of each month To view a ¿lm produced by Oregon Food Bank that features a Wallowa County family, visit https://youtu.be/ oM'VgdG=SOs.

Underwood is fostering Chance while the Humane So- ciety tries to ¿nd him a home and raise funds to pay his vet bill. “He’s a beautiful dog, two years old and friendly,” Under- wood said. “I’d like to ¿nd a forever home with a yard for him.” Since Underwood is al- ready fostering six kittens for the Humane Society, she ¿nds her resources taxed. “I don’t know how much longer I can do this,” she said. “We didn’t know this dog. We just jumped in to rescue him because we’re animal lovers.” To learn more about Chance, contact the Wallowa County Humane Society at 541-426-4170.
