Day this Saturday
Wallowa County Chieftain
Although changes are
afoot, the city of Wallowa’s
3rd annual Cleanup Day will
be held from 10 a.m. to 3
p.m. Saturday, July 16.
No hazardous waste will
be accepted this year, but for
the first time vehicle tires
without rims can to dropped
off at the pick-up site on N.
Pine Street (near Kevin’s
Tire Shop) for recycling.
Individuals can unload
up to four tires for free, then
pay $1 each for every tire

The words of the OACP
mirrored those expressed by
Enterprise Police Chief Joel
Fish, who published a state-
ment on the newly launched
Enterprise Police Department
Facebook page in response to
the many negative posts seen
online. In his statement, Fish
pledged to “focus on improv-
above that number.
As always, no household
garbage will be accepted,
but privately owned horse
trailers will be available to
haul away wood, yard de-
bris and electronics such as
televisions and computers.
There will be a garbage bin
near the high school football
practice field for heavy, met-
al items.
Other than multiple tires,
no charges will be involved.
The Wallowa County
Solid Waste Department has
agreed to take in all refuse
collected during Wallowa’s
Cleanup Day without charge
at its Ant Flat dump site out-
side of Enterprise.
Les Schwab Tires in En-
terprise is waving any poten-
tial tire collection fees as a
goodwill gesture to the city
of Wallowa.
Anticipated volunteers to
help shoulder the work load
include members of the Wal-
lowa High School football
team, members of the Wal-
lowa Chapter of FFA, Wal-
lowa County Corrections
Crew and others.
ing our community, not tear-
ing it down.”
“We will continue to work
on those things that need ad-
justment,” Fish wrote. “We will
seek answers to our problems
trying to identify the root caus-
es. We will endeavor to provide
a community of peace and safe-
ty for all who live, play, work,
or visit here.”
Fish, well-known for his
“positive problem solving”
both here and in his former
job, reminded residents that
“very few people seem to be
inherently bad. If we continue
to post negative things encom-
passing all members of a select-
ed group, we will continue to
demoralize our nation. We will
grow a new generation with
hate towards each other. We
will cause our own downfall.”
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown
also requested that all lags at
Oregon public institutions be
lown at half-staff until sunset
on Tuesday, July 12 in honor
of the victims of the attack in
Dallas.
In her statement, Brown
decries violence and igno-
rance while acknowledging
the frustrations of many com-
munities.
“We must work for jus-
tice,” she wrote. “We must
work toward equality.”
Enterprise City Council
observed a moment of silence
before beginning discussions
last Monday night in honor of
the oficers, as well.

Jorge may be down, but
don’t count him out. We can
hope for a grudge match next
year.
Other competitors included
the originator of the event, Ron
Osterloh, now of La Grande, in
his new ride — a Harley Davis
sidecar with bicycle innards.
The Osterloh camera car is his-
tory, it seems.
“It’s mostly cardboard,” Os-
terloh explained. “It got rained
on and looks like it went to the
dentist and had Novocaine on
both sides.”
The new Osterloh ride, al-
though not fast enough to beat
the Flash car, may get faster as
Osterloh continues to tinker on
it to make it a Star Wars X-wing
in time for the La Grande races.
The Steve Arment-designed
Carrotmobile, driven by event
organizer Michael Berry of
Wild Carrot Herbals, also
lost out this year, even in the
grudge match against Flash.
Berry says he will “search his
soul” for the next use of the
Carrot, but it is most likely re-
tired as a race car.
Meanwhile in the much an-
ticipated youth race, Nathan
(Lamb) Eaves, 9, managed to
beat the speedy OK Theatre
car, driven this year by Isabella
Brann. Eaves took the Speed-
ster Award in a car built in the
best Bowlby Bash tradition —
with grandfather Terry Lamb,
who helped him build a faster
car this year.
“It was awesome,” Eaves
said. “Better than last year
because I won the irst round
(against Public Works).”
And speaking of the may-
or’s car, that wind-catching
design on Lear’s Public Works
car is an invitation — nay, a
gimme — and yet no other
mayor, either in the county
or out, has had the courage to
challenge it.
Where is Lostine May-
or Krag Norton? If anybody
could build a fast racer ... But
no, it takes more than talent to
ield a car, it takes moxie. So
the Mayor’s Award stayed at
home — where it belongs.
David Carpenter of Enter-
prise did not disappoint, again
winning People’s Choice for
his whimsical entry and add-
ing a second award — Most
Creative — to his collection.
“I’d like to get David down
to La Grande, because they
think they’re hotshots,” Os-
terloh said. “They need to see
Wallowa County creativity.”
Two grudge matches fol-
lowed the championship race.
Michael Berry challenged
Nathan Curtis to “take the
slow lane this time” and they
battled it out in a sheer speed
race after swapping lanes. The
lane change made the race
closer all right, but Curtis and
Flash still took the win.
Next, Osterloh and Car-
penter went head to head in
a show-stopper of wobbling
sails and last-minute surges.
Carpenter’s antics distracted
the driver of the faster car,
but Osterloh took his eyes off
the amazing show Carpenter
was putting on long enough to
shoot across the inish irst in
the last few seconds.
