Richelle Chitwood, who has owned Central Copy on South River Street for the past 12 years, has her 11-month-old golden retriever, Mr. Brinkley, as a regular attraction. She has him there “because I don’t want to leave him at home. Because I own my own business and I can do what I want,” she says. “Dogs don’t like to be left alone and I own the business so that gives me that luxury.” Chitwood says that Brinkley, although a pup that might be expected to run around a lot, is quite easy-going. “I think it’s because I’m with him all the time,” she says. “It makes him mellow. ...He’s a little leery of young people but a lot of people have little kids and they’ll bring him over, so he gets used to them. ... They know he’s a little shy and their kids come over and pet him and talk to him.” Brinkley isn’t Chit- wood’s fi rst canine assistant. “Everybody remembers Odie and Milo,” she says. “Odie was the one who roamed around town.” Bill Bradshaw Deb Kellermann holds her nearly-9-year-old tabby, Simba, who lives at Kellerman’s shop, Deb’s Apparel and Gifts, in downtown Enterprise. trying to fi nd him a home and decided this was good enough.” Simba has gone on an occasional, unplanned day- time excursion. Sometimes he visits a neighboring shop, and is returned by the owner. Otherwise, he comes back on his own power. He doesn’t stray far. He knows where he lives. “He loves people. Usu- ally, he’ll jump up on the counter, so they’ll pay atten- tion to him,” Kellermann says of Simba, though he doesn’t get in the way of sales of clothing and acces- sories for women, children and infants. “He has his own rocking chair where he spends much of his day sleeping.” Both women say their pets are an attraction to customers. Neither Mr. Brinkley nor Simba had a comment for this story. Bill Bradshaw Richelle Chitwood and Mr. Brinkley stand ready to serve customers at Central Copy on River Street in Enterprise. The 11-month-old golden retriever is Chitwood’s constant companion at the shop. “Some people come in just to see the dog; they don’t want to do business.” Chitwood says. While the shop provides copies, shipping, laminating and related items, she says, “The main feature here is the dog.” At Deb Kellermann’s Deb’s Apparel and Gifts on West Main, just around the corner, her cat, Simba, is a constant and popular fi xture. Kellermann has owned the shop for 25 years. The almost 9-year-old orange tabby has lived in the shop for more than eight years. “He lives here. 24-7,” Kellerman said. “This is his home.” “I found him in my barn- yard, when he was proba- bly only 3 or 4 days old and I gave him to somebody,” Kellermann says. “She had him for a few months and ... gave him back to me. ...

Ellen Morris Bishop (L to R) Lorien and Dustin James, owners of Outlaw Motor Sports in Enterprise are off ering a Giant, trail-style bike to any sixth grader in Wallowa County public schools with perfect attendance. Go to school, get a free bike Steve Tool Wallowa County Chieftain While Outlaw Motor Sports (OMS) offers a num- ber of “fun” ATVs, motorcy- cles, snowmobiles, etc, they also know there’s a time to keep your nose to the grind- stone. The shop is offering a “fun” incentive for perfect school attendance: A new mountain bicycle manufac- tured by Giant. Every sixth grader enrolled in the county’s three school districts is eli- gible. The store’s co-owner, Lorien James, said that she was getting a vehicle ser- viced out of town last spring and noticed about 85 bikes in the showroom. An employee told her that the bikes were incentives to the area’s sixth graders to strive for perfect attendance. It gave James an idea. After contacting the county’s public schools in Joseph, Enterprise and Wal- lowa, she realized that no public school sixth-grader had perfect attendance. Only four Enterprise Elementary students from kindergarten through sixth grade had per- fect attendance last year. James and her husband, Dustin, initially thought about offering Giant bikes to all elementary students with perfect attendance but settled on sixth grade after talking with teachers about it. “Sixth grade to seventh grade is a huge jump,” James said. “If you miss a day in seventh grade, you don’t miss out on one teacher, you’re missing out on seven teachers.” “I asked our Giant Bicy- cle rep if they’d be interested in partnering with us to see if we could do it county-wide,” she said. “I think this will be a great partnership,” James said. “I’m hoping it’s some- thing that builds every year, so we can pull in different businesses to get involved in this.” Chieftain K IDS 201 East Hwy 82 Enterprise, OR 97828 541-426-0320 PET OF K THE WEE Brought to you by, Meet Sassy A long legged female tuxedo kitten born March 23, 2018 and weighing only 6 pounds.
