Wallowa County Chieftain Community wallowa.com November 15, 2017 A3 War causing labor, material shortage in area OUT OF THE PAST Compiled by Paul Wahl 100 YEARS AGO Nov. 15, 1917 City fathers in Enterprise are mulling a plan to pave the business streets in the city, but the idea may have to wait. Those opposed say this is a poor time for any new under- taking with materials and labor expensive and scarce owing to the war conditions. The streets are in poor condition, how- ever, and paving is considered the ultimate solution.

Seating is limited. Native American artists sought for downtown Joseph artwork More –– and more authen- tic –– Native American art may soon be making its way to Main Street in Joseph. The Josephy Center for Arts and Culture has received a large grant from the Ore- gon Community Foundation to engage a Plateau Indian Artist to add his or her work to the bronze streetscape in the city. Joseph is named after Nez Perce leader Chief Joseph, as is the annual rodeo. In the past several years, local foundries and galleries, working with city offi cials, have developed a streetscape that features a dozen bronze sculptures. The city has recently been desig- nated by the state of Oregon an art district. “Four of the dozen bronze sculptures currently on Main Street depict Indians; none of them are the work of tribal art- ists,” said said project man- ager Rich Wandschneider. “The Josephy Center, with its unique position as a win- dow between local people and descendants of tribal people who once lived here, wrote the grant, and, along with tribal representatives, will select an artist to do the work.” The Josephy Center is named after Alvin M. Josephy, Jr. the noted historian of the Nez Perce and long-time advo- cate for American Indians. The matter of names Joseph and Josephy is purely coinci- dental, “but it is a nice coinci- dence,” Wandschneider said. The center is home to a library of books that Josephy collected over his long career. Fundraiser set for Joseph Library Joseph Public Library fundraising committee will host a benefi t to help fund the planned library building expansion project. A “Soup-er Bingo Night” will be 4-7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 19, at The Place, adjacent to the Joseph United Method- ist Church. The event includes bingo, all you can eat soup din- ner and a raffl e of various gift baskets. All ages are welcome. Salad, breads and bottom- less bowls of homemade soups will be available for a $10 per person donation or $25 for fam- ilies of three or more. A chil- dren’s discount is available. Bingo cards are $1 apiece, and the game will be ongo- ing. Attendees are welcome to come and go or stay through- out the event. Themed baskets to be raf- fl ed include cooking, art sup- plies, outdoors, children, knit- ting and crafting, romance and more. Raffl e tickets are $5 apiece or $20 for fi ve. The drawing will be held 7 p.m.; must be present to win. Plans for the library are to have the building remain at the same site with a new addition and improved areas for com- munity gathering and library services for all ages. Each dollar raised at the fundraiser will be matched with funds from a project grant authorized by the Wildhorse Foundation in Pendleton. Info: Eric Shoedel 541-432-0141. Many of the books deal with Plateau Indian culture and his- tory, and students and writers come frequently to explore Indian themes and share their work with local and visiting audiences. Tribal artists interested in the opportunity have until Jan. 15 to send resumes and portfo- lios to the center. The project calls for three-dimensional public art but is not restricted to bronze sculpture –– the medium is art- ist’s choice. As many as three artists will each receive $1,000 and six weeks to develop propos- als for a sculpture to stand in the Josephy Center courtyard or on Joseph’s Main Street. One artist will then receive one-third of the $25,000 award and have a year to complete the project. Info: 541-432-0505. WALLOWA COUNTY Health Line 519 W.
