Communications
with offices in Enterprise and
Kennewick, Wash., were hon-
ored at the 2018 Pacific Print-

duced for St. Anthony’s Hospi-
tal in Pendleton. The company
also received a second-place
award for their production of
the Chief Joseph Days poster
for the event held annually in
Joseph.
More than 180 people from
throughout the Northwest
attended the event at the Mel-
ody Ballroom and Event Cen-
ter in Portland, paying honor to
the finest printing produced in
the Northwest.
“Esprit, and Skip and Shan-
non, have been a consistent
award winner at the Annual
Print Rocks event year after
year,” said Jules Van Sant, PPI

Joseph Branch Railriders
becomes Railrider Cycling
Joseph Branch Railriders,
along with the Oregon Coast
Railriders and Vance Creek
Railriders, will soon change
their company to name to
Railrider Cycling.
Each of the locations
henceforth will be referred to
as a branch. The concession
opened to the public in May
2014, offering guided tours
along the railroad tracks five
days a week from the Satur-
day before Memorial Day
in May to the first week of
October.
The Joseph Branch is
located at 501 W. Alder,
Joseph. Other branches are
in Bay City, Ore., and Shel-
ton, Wash.
Railrider Cycling is
owned and operated by Kim
and Anita Metlen of Imbler.
The business has enjoyed a
rapid evolution from the first
railrider protype that Kim
constructed from an Inter-
net idea to the current design.
Kim continues to improve
the two and four seated
designs.
A new use and unique
activity on formerly unused
historic rails in Wallowa and
Tillamook counties in Ore-
gon as well as Mason County
in Washington have given
new life to old rails.
The next season for Rail-
rider Cycling opens May
18.

Four tourism projects secure funds from transit lodging tax receipts
By Kathleen Ellyn
Wallowa County Chieftain
Enterprise City Council
approved all four requests for
Transient Lodging Tax grants
to promote tourism within city
limits at the regular city coun-
cil meeting Monday, Oct. 8.
Applicants for this round of
awards were Wallowa County
Athletic Network, GEMS
Winterfest Celebration, Fish-
trap Fireside Program and the
Wallowa Valley Community
Ice Rink. All applicants were
awarded the full $2,000 grant.
The Wallowa County
Athletic Network is raising
money for a variety of rec-
reational projects around the
county, including the pro-
posed $450,000 indoor facil-
ity at Jensen Field in Enter-
prise. This grant money is
earmarked for repositioning
the left field fence in order to
begin construction of the facil-
ity while still allowing for
baseball games outdoors when
the facility is complete.
GEMS (Greater Enter-
prise Main Streets group)
T HE B OOKLOFT
approached the city for assis-
tance in meeting their bud-
get of $3,800 for the annual
Winterfest Celebration. The
all-volunteer, merchant-sup-
ported event drew approx-
imately 350 people to the
downtown area last year. Pri-
mary costs include lights for
15 trees and the gazebo on the
courthouse lawn, as well as the
cost of installation, insurance
and advertising.
Fishtrap, Inc. requested
the grant to support their pop-
ular Fishtrap Fireside program,
which costs approximately
$7,000 per year. Fishtrap cov-
ers $4,961 of the amount
through general operating
funds, sponsorships, donations
and in-kind support.
Fireside is hosted at the
Fishtrap House in Enterprise
the first Friday of every month
from October through April
and provides platform for local
writers to share their work. The
event draws approximately 50
to 60 people every first Friday.

The Wallowa Valley Com-
munity Ice Rink is gearing
up for another winter season,
from mid-December through
February, and continues to
make small improvements
every year. The group plans
to spend the grant money on
a shed to house rental skates.
The plan is to rent a shed from
DJ Jannuzzi for three months.
In addition, the group intends
to improve the fencing around
the rink. The chain link fenc-
ing borrowed from the fair-
grounds is very difficult to
erect and tear down. They now
want to have their own fence
of a different design that is eas-
ier for volunteers to handle.
The ice rink draws 40 to 50
people per day on Saturdays
and Sundays. The group esti-
mates that on any given week-
end day, 15 of those visitors
are from out of town. They
estimate the rink is used by 30
people per day on weekdays.
