BOATS E XTRAVAGANZA ENDS D ULCIMER W EEK Continued from Page A10 Kathleen Ellyn/Chieftain Steve Eulberg of the Bay Area prepares to pick the resonator dulcimer for the crowd at the Dulcimer Extravaganza last Friday at the Joseph Methodist Church. The Extravaganza closed out Dulcimer Week in Wallowa County. “Try it, you’ll like it” opportuni- ties will still be offered on Saturday mornings at 10 a.m. at the north end of the lake, but the workout will still be quite vigorous. A “recreational” group is still planned, but for now the team is fo- cused on building a solid competition group. Those interested in the recre- ation group are encouraged to ill out an interest form online at www.drag- onsinthewallowas.com. At last count, membership was at 28, with others expected to join soon. The goal is two teams of 20 per boat. Each Hong Kong-style race boat holds 18 paddlers, a caller and a tiller. As of July 1 the team had one full boat of competition-bound pad- dlers with several alternates ready. The Dragons in the Wallowas intend to ield a mixed team (both men and women on the team) in their irst competition. Head coach Bellows alternates with Megan Bowman of Enterprise By Steve Tool Wallowa County Chieftain Celeste “Cece” Whitewolf spent the month of June as artist-in-residence at the Jose- phy Center teaching classes in basket-weaving and working on her own art. Her artwork includes sewing, weaving (in- cluding basket, yarn and corn- husk weaving), beading and even carving. Finding herself falling into a teaching role without really trying, Whitewolf puts her ex- perience as the oldest of nine children to work. “I had to inluence their mindset in order to do a par- ticular task,” she said. “To do that, you have to tell, show and help them to do it and change their mindset in a way that’s helpful to them. I ind when I’m teaching now that my students teach me as much as I teach them.” Whitewolf traces her an- cestry to multiple tribes in- cluding Cayuse and Nisqually, and Wallowa-Band Nez Perce Mosquitoes & Moths Steve Tool/Chieftain Celeste “Cece” Whitewolf at the Josephy Center. The piece she is holding was started by her mother, who died before she finished it. Whitewolf is completing the piece in her mother’s honor. through one of Chief Joseph’s wives. Although Whitewolf is enrolled in the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Res- ervation, she doesn’t reside there. “I haven’t lived on the reservation since I was 14 years old. I’m what’s called an urban Indian. There’s more Indians living off the reser- vation than on. There’s more Indians living in Portland than all the Oregon Indian reserva- tions combined.” Although she no longer lives on tribal lands, she’s faithfully attended each sum- mer Tamkaliks for the past 22 years. Whitewolf studied at Lew- RODEO “Last year was just amaz- ing,” Scudder said. “I’m so impressed with this commu- nity. I have people from last year volunteering to do it again this year.” Providing this special opportunity to folks with But even so, the willing- ness to help out in Wallowa County astounded her.

Wallowa County Chieftain in training the competitors. The chief “caller” who beats a drum to keep time and shouts instructions to the crew is Amy Gulzow of Joseph. Tillers include Denny Kolb of Enter- prise, Max Linn of Joseph and Karen Sternadel of Enterprise. Dragons members must be age 15 or older — most of the current team members are ages 40 to 66. Jeff Campbell of Vancouver Drag- on Boat Club loaned the two boats currently in use to the team for the summer in return for some repair work. Most of that work is now done and both boats are now available for practices as the competition team grows. Club members will be work- ing on purchasing their own boats during the coming winter and are con- sidering grant proposals, sponsors and fundraisers. One fundraiser for the club already is underway. Stainless steel dragon necklaces available in a variety of me- tallic colors are for sale for $15 each with 50 percent of proceeds going to the club. Purchase them at the Sum- mit Grill on top of Mount Howard for now. They will become more widely available in a few more weeks.

Saturdays, July 16 & 23, August 6 & 20 is and Clark Law School and passed the bar in 1988. She opened her own law ofice and took nearly any case that came through the door. Her hectic life came to a screech- ing halt after she was diag- nosed with breast cancer in 1998. Whitewolf’s own cancer diagnosis served as a conduit for her art. “When you irst hear the diagnosis, one of the irst things you ask is, ‘When am I going to die?’” I was given a 30 percent chance of living because of the severity of my cancer. It changes your out- look when you think you have a year or two to live.” She made a full recovery while forming the national nonproit The Native People’s Circle of Hope, which edu- cates Native Americans across the country about cancer sur- vivorship for both victims and their families through the treatment regimen and some- times even the passing of the victim. She retired from the organization three years ago. Whitewolf doesn’t con- sider herself an artist in the traditional sense, so she was thrilled to land the recent res- idency. “This whole concept of being artist-in-residence is really new because I’ve never done this kind of thing before. I really didn’t think of myself as an artist. I’ve never sold anything. I can’t igure out how people do it. One, I don’t know price, and two, whenev- er I make anything, I make it to give away to somebody. It’s not art; it’s a gift.” Of all her craft pursuits, Whitewolf’s favorite is the one she irst learned. “Sewing was my passion when I was a little girl, and I make everything I wear. I can make something from looking at a magazine or book or what you’re wearing. I can take a fabric and by how it feels, I can tell how it will drape on a human body.” Whitewolf credits those who came before her as the inspiration for taking up her art. “I wouldn’t be doing the type of art I am without my heritage,” she said. “That’s who I am.” developmental disabilities is not a new idea in rodeo. Special-needs rodeo began clear back in 1983, when PRCA cowboys adopted it as a fun way to give back in their sport. Special education teachers, like Scudder, and persons interested in therapy horses have been involved in the process ever since. Little Buckaroos in Wal- lowa County will be able to ride the (teeter totter) bull, rope the (dummy) steer, untie a bow from a goat’s tail and race stick horses. Competi- tors also are welcome to par- ticipate in the parade. Scudder still is accepting both competitors and men- tors for this event. To enter or volunteer as a cowboy/cowgirl mentor, con- tact Scudder at 509-629-3139 or scudderdeb6@gmail.com. Entry forms can be picked up at Sports Corral or the Chief Joseph Days ofice next door.
