A6 NEWS Wallowa County Chieftain Wednesday, January 22, 2020 Awning comes down as downtown building gets facelift By Bill Bradshaw Wallowa County Chieftain The building on the northwest corner of Main and River streets is getting a facelift. It started Monday, Jan. 20, with the removal of a 45-year-old awning, with the intention of replac- ing it with a similar one, said building owner Bill Warnock. He and his wife, Michele Starr, bought the building in 2016. They expect to have the renovations done by spring, although they had hoped to get it done sooner. He said that’s just the way things work in Wallowa County. “If things got done in a hurry, it wouldn’t be Wal- lowa County,” he said, add- ing that he appreciates the slower pace of life here. In addition to a new awning, exterior paint is planned, Warnock said. He noted that as they remove the old awning, they can see the original colors of the building. He’s planning somewhat “muted” colors for the building, he said. Now a naturopathic doc- tor in Burlington, Vt., he still considers Wallowa County his home, main- taining a home at Wallowa Lake. “I tell people I live at Wallowa Lake and make money in Vermont,” he said. Warnock said in addi- tion to work on the outside, they’re upgrading electri- cal and other aspects of the interior. He said the building was built in 1950 on the site of a previous one that had burned the year before that housed the Enterprise Mill- ABOVE Construction workers from FSM Construction and In Good Hands Construction remove an awning built in the 1970s at the building at Main and River streets Monday, Jan. 20, in Enterprise.

IT’S THE BEST BUILDING AND WE’RE FIXING IT EVEN BETTER.’ Building owner Bill Warnock ing and Mercantile. The pre- vious building, he said, had not used cement in its mor- tar and when it burned, that allowed bricks to fall easily. It was replaced by the current structure built by the German immigrant Dutli family, who brought with them from the old country construction methods to last for a long time.

In the basement remains a meatlocker. “In the days before per- sonal freezers, everybody stored their meat there,” Warnock said. Warnock’s and Starr’s efforts are part of their interest in helping revive downtown Enterprise, he said. “Part of that is having good buildings so people won’t have to spend $1,000 a month to heat them in the winter,” he said. “All the time I was growing up, it was odd to have a vacant store.” He said he was pleased to see such new businesses as the Thistle and Pine in his building and Friends Restaurant a few doors down. Warnock and Starr also own the neighboring Bowlby Building, where eventually they want to have apartments on the sec- ond fl oor. “It’d be great to see peo- ple living downtown,” he said. The fi fth-generation native is eager to retire and return to his home county. He said his ancestors were some of the fi rst settlers in the county, coming here in the early 1870s. “We’re excited,” War- nock said. “It’s the best building and we’re fi xing it even better.” Study supports prescribed burns to reduce wildfi re risks By Rob Jordan Stanford University A new Stanford University study proposes ways to over- come barriers to prescribed burns — fi res purposefully set under controlled condi- tions to clear ground fuels. “We need a colossal expan- sion of fuel treatments,” said study lead author Rebecca Miller, of the Stanford School of Earth, Energy & Environ- mental Sciences. Years of fi re suppression in California have led to mas- sive accumulations of wood and plant fuels in forests. Hotter, drier conditions have exacerbated the situation. Prescribed burns, in com- bination with thinning of vegetation that allows fi re to climb into the tree can- opy, have proven effective at reducing wildfi re risks. They rarely escape their set boundaries and have ecological benefi ts that mimic the effects of naturally occurring fi res, such as reducing the spread of disease and insects and increas- ing species diversity. To put a meaningful dent in wildfi re numbers, Cali- fornia needs fuel treatments — whether prescribed burns or vegetation thinning — on about 20 million acres or nearly 20 percent of the state’s land area, according to the researchers.
