Now, she has come full cir- cle as the new president of the Wallowa County 4-H Leaders’ Association. She was in 4-H for eight years participating in the Golden Arrow Livestock Club, and is now a co-leader for that club, along with Nancy Maasdam, her former leader. As a 4-H member, she was also in the Wallowa County Wranglers Horse Club and participated in 4-H cooking and sewing. She was also on the 4-H court. It goes without say- ing that she brings a lot of 4-H knowledge and expe- rience to her new position as president. Tippet admits she is still learning the ropes of the job. “I’m still learning a lot,” she said, “and how it all works.” But she has help. “(We) have a solid program in Wal- lowa County and I’m inter- ested in seeing what I can do with that,” she said. She specifi cally men- tioned the knowledgeable people and resources the county has, such as other 4-H leaders, the Oregon State University Extension Service and other resources as ones she can turn to for help.

After moving back to Wallowa County and working for a bakery, she accepted a position at Com- munity Bank. She has been with the bank for 10 years and is the bank manager. “Community Bank is very community oriented,” she said, which allows her to be part of 4-H and Chief Joseph Days. Debi Warnock, the OSU Extension agent, which oversees the 4-H program, is looking forward to work- ing with Tippet, whom she has known since she started in 4-H. “For me, I will rely on her advice quite a bit throughout the year. She will be my right hand. I will have close contact with her regarding decisions on 4-H,” Warnock said. Warnock said that the 4-H Leaders’ Association is the fundraising and lead- ership council of the 4-H program. She said she is anticipat- ing, “partnering with her (Tippet) and supporting her new ideas and energy. “We are so lucky. We have such good volun- teers that love our pro- gram and are happy to pass our traditions to the next generation,” she said. Both Tippet and War- nock have similar philos- ophies of 4-H and what it brings to youth and the community. If there is one thing Tippet wants people to know about 4-H she said it is what participation in 4-H can do for youth. “4-H gives to kids,” she said. “They learn a lot. It taught me to speak, be sin- cere and humble. Not just in a show ring.” She said youths in 4-H learn to present themselves to people and learn to com- municate with their peers. “That is a big part of 4-H,” she said. “You learn life skills. As you get older, you see that.” within four months after the first publication date of this notice or they may be barred.

The Oregon Depart- ment of Transportation is planning to install ramps to upgrade sidewalks in com- pliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act begin- ning this summer. The issue has been discussed at council meetings for months. In the letter submitted by Jude Graham of the chamber, it was stated that the chamber is concerned that ODOT is not giving due consideration to Joseph’s downtown that will be adversely impacted by construction scheduled to take place during the peak tourist season. “At present, your con- stituents, due to the lack of open meetings, have not had adequate time to thoroughly review proposed site plans and understand the ODOT proposal,” the letter stated. “Nor has there been suffi - cient opportunity to commu- nicate directly with ODOT to completely develop and understanding of all the aspects and segments of the ODOT project.” The chamber also fears ODOT is not taking into consideration the time frame necessary to accomplish the FORD MIKE CRAW we ek, and the sidelines this We’re going to go to head coach Mike Crawford. girls focus on Enterprise lled it a career after 33 seasons ca s ha rd fo Craw at time, etball program.

The letter said the cham- ber does not want to elim- inate the sidewalk project, but wants to work with the City Council to postpone it to present concerns and lia- bility issues before ODOT breaks ground and launch a social media and news- paper campaign to solicit public support of the City Council to act on behalf of the citizenry and business community. Pro-Tem Administrator Brock Eckstein said after the meeting that there have been three public hearings on the ODOT project in the past six months. “The only solution brought to the hearings is to either cancel it, which abso- lutely can’t happen unless the city wants to accept all liabil- ity for ADA discrepancies, or to kick the can down the road more years, which we then run the risk of ODOT either pulling out altogether or just doing it their way,” he said. In another matter, the council heard a library report from Councilor Kirsten Rohla on behalf of the absent librarian Eric Shoudel. She said that although the city missed out on a previous grant, a $15,000 grant is coming through to pay for a consultant in the city’s eff orts to revamp the old Blackburn Building at N. 100 East St. The building will become the new City Library. At the same time, the current library in City Hall will become a meeting room for the council and other purposes. In other business, the council: • Accepted the resignation of Councilor Tammy Jones. No action toward replacing her was taken. • Changed an ordinance establishing a city Plan- ning Commission to require members be registered vot- ers within Wallowa County and only allow one member to live outside city limits or be actively involved in the real estate business. • Approved an ordinance to grant to Ziply Fiber North- west a franchise for tele- phone and other communi- cations purposes. • Approved a request by Elkhorn Media to provide radio and Facebook services. • Reviewed a snow-re- moval plan with a map detailing the highest priori- ties for snow plowing when 4 inches of fresh snow accu- mulates on city streets. • Formed a steering task force for the proposed Dag- gett Sports Complex on North East Street. • Approved street closures for vendors for July 27-31 for the Chief Joseph Days Rodeo. • Approved street closures for vendors for Aug. 26-27 for the Wallowa Mountain Cruise.
