The cost of getting a wrap
from CAM DeSigns ranges
from $400 to $2,000.
Corcoran said the quality of
car wraps is continuing to rise
because of improved materials,
which provide better color sta-
bility and more protection from
the sun. The better products
allow the car wraps to remain
in good condition for fi ve to six
years.
CAM DeSigns also does
construction, often focusing on
kitchen and bathroom remod-
eling, and makes signs out of
metal and high-density foam
for storefronts.
A new project for the com-
pany is the production of wood-
stoves that burn longer and
more cleanly. The stoves are
now available.
CAM DeSigns set up shop
in Island City near Grocery
Outlet and Walmart in July to
boost the company’s visibility.
Corcoran said the move has
increased customer traffi c, and
he hopes the family company
can operate there for years to
come.
“We love what we are doing
and are doing what we love,”
he said.
few actually have closed their
doors as was required then.
Even a small operation like
Favorite Finds on Main, an
antique and collectibles shop in
Enterprise operated by Sondra
Lozier, is muddling through.
“I’m a one-woman show; if I
ever have 10 people in its usu-
ally a family,” she said. “It’s very
trying in a lot of ways. … The
good side is I think people are
slowing down.”
She did, however, say the
resurgent pandemic caused dis-
appointment by forcing the can-
cellation of two events she’s
involved in. She organizes the
Hells Canyon Mule Days, which
was to be the weekend after
Labor Day and had to be post-
poned until next year. She also
is involved in organizing a
quilt retreat that also had to be
canceled.
“That’s helped” slow things
down, Lozier said.
She said that despite the surge
in cases, she believes folks here
are generally safe.
“I’ve been in business so long
that nothing really aff ects me,”
she said. “I’m just glad I live in
Wallowa County because we are
such a clean county.”

Wallowa County Chieftain, File
Jake and Kathy Wolfe of Enterprise, pictured here in April 2020, wear masks
when they are out and about, including grocery shopping. Enterprise’s Safeway
grocery store was one Wallowa County business that had the strictest mask re-
quirements for most of the pandemic and then relaxed it early in the summer.
But the store is requiring masks again.
Normal operation
Other businesses that have
had to close in the past are
mostly operating normally.
Double Arrow Veterinary Clinic
in Enterprise had its lobby
closed for some months and has
reopened it. However, all staff
and customers are required to
mask up when inside.
The Les Schwab Tire Center
in Enterprise also fi nds the mask
mandate annoying, but is com-
plying by having staff and cus-
tomers wear masks.
“It’s pretty tough … espe-
cially for the guys working in
the heat,” said JR Pinea, assis-
tant manager. “We’re following
the guidelines. …It’s tough for
everybody, but we’re doing it.”
The pandemic surge doesn’t
seem to have aff ected the lodging
industry much, although some
are closing or preparing to close
as tourist season winds down. A
spokeswoman at the Ponderosa
Motel in Enterprise said it and
the Wilderness Inn — owned by
the Naisbitt family — remain
open and are continuing to take
precautions by wearing face
masks and thoroughly sanitizing
rooms between customer stays.
Some restaurants are
returning to early-pandemic
protocols of outside seating or
takeout.
Kim Moore, co-owner of the
red Rooster Cafe in Enterprise,
said her establishment closed for
a short time earlier this summer,
but it’s reopened now.
Heavenly’s in Enterprise has
ceased its indoor seating, but
everyone working is masked.
The change has been more
to do with a diffi culty in getting
employees than anything, said
co-owner Cindy Ellis.
“They’re getting unemploy-
ment or they don’t want to work,
that’s what I’m assuming,”
she said.

YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you are never afraid to tackle a
project that would be too much for most oth-
ers -- even a fellow Virgo native! Hardworking,
dedicated, a visionary and always on the
lookout for that next “big idea,” you can often
be found toiling away on something that oth-
ers may not be able to identify accurately or
recognize as something of value -- but later,
when your work is at last unveiled, it becomes
immediately clear what you’ve been doing all
along, and that the results are of lasting value
to a great many after all.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are in the
mood to do something notable for a special
someone -- and you know just what is going to
win the desired effect. Get it done!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You risk being
premature in your decision-making today if
you don’t wait for a certain piece of informa-
tion about which you’ve received hints.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Warnings
come your way today, but are you receptive
enough right now to interpret them correctly?
One false step can spell disaster, almost.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) --
You’re supposed to do things a certain way
today, but you are eager to experiment with
alternative methods. Is this allowed?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your
first choice is almost certainly not available to
you today, and your second may not be -- but
your third will surely suffice.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You’re
likely to see in the cards that are dealt a pat-
tern that you suspect is not entirely random. Is
someone trying to put one over on you?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Novelty
pulls you in a different direction today than
that which you had decided on, but is this
reason enough to change all your plans?
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may
feel that you’re not up to par when it comes to
certain ways of doing things, but you can
quickly adapt to anything new today.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You’ll be
doing someone a favor today by backing off
and not trying to run things yourself. They
need to get used to being in charge!
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A personal
discovery leads you to a different solution to a
stubborn problem -- but is this really going to
“stick”? You must give it your all.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Learning
something by rote today isn’t going to propel
you forward as you had hoped. You must learn
it by heart and understand how it works!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’re likely to
learn something new today without even
knowing it -- until the time comes for you to
put that new knowledge to good use.
