LISA ECHOLS
Lisa Echols, 56, of Enterprise came to Wallowa County
the fi rst time after her dad, Bill Kessler, took a motorcycle
ride with a fellow policeman, Ron Jett, and ended up in Wal-
lowa County. The family was living in El Cajon, Calif., and
Lisa had recently graduated from Granite Hills High.
“Dad came home from his motorcycle trip and said,
‘Why are we living in California? We’re moving to Wallowa
County,’” Lisa said.
Once in the county (in about 1979) Lisa worked for the
Young Adult Conservation Corps and later as a Forest Ser-
vice Guard in Lostine Canyon –– working with the famous
“Maude the Mule,” the only mammoth mule with wagon
working for the Forest Service in the United States.
Lisa then went to EOU for art and business courses, met
former husband Mark Echols, who was in construction at
the time, and the couple made a life in Hermiston and raised
three children.
It was her folks that brought her back to Wallowa County
again last July –– this time as a caretaker for her aging par-
ents. In addition to helping her folks stay in their own home
in Enterprise, Lisa works part-time as a Care Coordinator for
Community Connection, helping people get Veterans Affairs
and Oregon Project Independence aid and other services.
Q. You obviously have learned a lot about people
through your jobs and interests. What has Wallowa
County taught you?

County, you’re more integrated in the community. You know

Wallowa County Chieftain
people, your reputation counts, your mindset as far as being
mindful of other people is “I might bump in to them in Safe-
way or they’re probably so and so’s mother.” I like it. I go to
Enterprise Community Church, and I love that, and I love my
service opportunities I keep fi nding all over.
Q. What do you enjoy in the county?
A. I love the slow pace. I’m trying to be outdoorsy. Since I
came to the county, I found out I was diabetic, so I took the
CHIPS program, and I’ve become more active. I learned to
ski on the little bunny hill at Fergi and had a great time. I’m
trying to focus on eating healthy and taking cooking classes
and torturing my parents with new foods.
Q. You’ve got art background but you haven’t men-
tioned your art. What is your ambition for your art
in the future?
A. What I really want is to get my whole life out of storage.
I’m an artist who doesn’t have her stuff and isn’t able to do
her art.
For 11 years in Portland, I met some ladies every Monday
night and we made Victorian lampshades, and my friend had
a Victorian lampshade shop in Sellwood.
I loved all the handwork. I miss all my stuff. I can’t wait
to have a place that is mine and dig my stuff out of my stor-
age unit –– free it from its prison.
Dog-friendly restaurant
and great local banks
We’re all watching the win-
dows at the former Silver Lake
Bistro in Joseph, waiting and
wondering what is next. And
a new fl yer on the door pro-
claims: “The Dog Spot: treats
for pets and people.”
Say what?
It’s the brainchild of chef
Arion Canniff and his wife
Amy Wolf (Amy is the daugh-
ter of Lynn Wolf of Joseph).
Canniff has 38 years of
experience as a chef and Amy
has at least 20 years of retail
experience and both love their
pets . . . so, “Why not combine
that?” Canniff asked.
Canniff is the man who cre-
ated “More Than A Mouthful”
Cheesecake, which some may
remember from Alpenfest a few
years back. He’s sold that prod-
uct in Jacksonville and Med-
ford and in Sandpoint where
he was chef at La Rosa Club.
But we’re sure looking forward
to that treat, aren’t
we? You’re going
to see me careening
down Joseph Main
Street from the
mini-donut wagon
to The Dog Spot on
a sugar high as soon as I possi-
bly can.
Canniff is busy remodel-
ing the space (just a little, not
much, he says) and intends the
ambiance to be rustic and pet
friendly. Just how pet friendly
is still up in the air. He’s wait-
ing for a ruling from the health
department about how much
interaction/restaurant space
dogs can legally have.
We know there are restau-
rants in Portland that are pet
friendly, but, as Canniff says,
“Portland rules are a little
different.”
In any case, we can expect
The Dog Spot to open around
Thanksgiving, Canniff said.

LOCAL BANKS were
honored by Gov. Kate Brown,
who proclaimed Oct. 16-20
Community Bank Week, hon-
oring local banks for the sig-
nifi cant economic and civic
contributions they make in
communities across the state.
Community banks are
the fi rst stop for local busi-
nesses because of their abil-
ity to understand the concerns
of businesses in their region.
Community banks reported
loans to Oregon small busi-
nesses topping $5.9 billion in
a single year, according to a
recent survey by the Oregon
Bankers Association.
But that’s not the half of it.
The survey also showed com-
munity banks in the state gave
to their communities, pitching
in $4.9 million to nonprofi ts
and community organizations.
Meanwhile, their employees
logged more than 64,000 vol-
unteer hours. Sound familiar?
You bet it does.
