In addition to the main residence, the station also includes a garage, warehouse, barn, and oil and gas house. The residence has a rustic design; the exterior walls use shiplap to resemble a log cabin, and the gabled front porch is supported by two logs. The original gable roof was wood shingled to fit the rustic theme but has since been replaced with sheet metal. The Civilian Conservation Corps built the guard station during the Great Depression.The Billy Meadows Guard Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 6, 1991.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:20 UTC on Friday, 18 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Billy Meadows Guard Station on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Ruth.

Send us a textAt age 5 Dale's dad abandoned his family. At 11 he contracted polio and became paralyzed from the neck down for 18 months at 17 he set a national record in the mile, 4:11 seconds. He'd go on to win the first ever NCAA National title in the 5,000, an event he ran barefoot in 30° weather. He'd later set a world record in the 2 mile 8:46 seconds. Following college he became a school teacher in Wallowa, Oregon where he worked for 33 years instructing science and forestry while also advocating for wilderness preservation. Dale was also a legendary bow hunter who started hunting elk with a recurve in 1961, which he also did barefoot. This man is a national treasure. 

Many of Oregon's county health officials are asking for a little extra consideration from lawmakers this year as they decide where to allocate funding. Two counties, Wallowa and Curry, have no public health staff and rely solely on the Oregon Health Authority to meet their needs. With the fifth anniversary of the initial COVID-19 lockdown this week, perhaps nothing is a bigger reminder of the need for a stable funding source for public health infrastructure. Sarah Lochner, the executive director of the Oregon Coalition of Local Health Officials, told OPB that not only is the state not ready for the next pandemic, counties are in dire need of stable funding just to deal with the everyday public health needs of the communities they serve — from vaccinating against whooping cough and measles, to providing needed treatment for alcohol and substance use disorder, to preventing HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis and other communicable diseases.  Jackson county public health worker Tanya Phillips said because grants are often available only when the health of a particular population declines, the system sets up a kind of unreliable boom and bust cycle for funding, which does not support healthy communities long term. Phillips and Lochner join us to share the impact that unpredictable and insufficient funding is having in Jackson County and around the state.

After homesteading some of the West's best cattle country, the family could have been wealthy squires like TV's Cartwright family; instead, they gave it all up for a series of outlaw enterprises that left some broke and others dead.

In this episode of The Connection, we delve into the rich history and cultural significance of the Nez Perce homeland through the insightful perspectives of Katie Harris Murphy, Vice Chair / VP of Board, Wallowa Band Descendant and Joshua Sigmund, Facilities and Grounds Director at the Nez Perce Valhalla Homeland. Located in Eastern Oregon, the Nez Perce Homeland holds a special place in the hearts of those who have been displaced from the region.  Katie and Joshua emphasize the mission of the homeland, which aims to deepen the connection between the Wallowa country and its people, both local and distant. They highlight the importance of providing opportunities for descendants to reconnect with their ancestral land and heritage, share about the Tamkaliks celebration, and the opportunities to engage with the Homeland as gravel cyclists.

Chain stores like Dollar General and Family Dollar have been popping up in eastern Oregon. An opposition group known as No Dollar General has formed to stop the spread of such stores. While Dollar General successfully opened a store in the city of Wallowa recently, the opposition group is still fighting to keep the chain from expanding in the region. Last month, the Joseph City Council passed an ordinance banning “formula” businesses from operating within city limits. The policy targets stores that have “prescribed standards and features,” such as dollar stores, while allowing for some exemptions. Antonio Sierra, OPB’s rural communities reporter, shares his reporting on this issue.

Earlier this year, millions of dollars were allocated to counties across the state as part of a homelessness state of emergency. We hear from an organization based in rural Oregon that’s working on rehousing residents in Baker, Grant, Union and Wallowa counties. Connie Guentert is the executive director of Community Connection of Northeast Oregon, Inc. She joins us with details of the organization’s work. 

In this episode of the Explore Oregon Podcast, host Zach Urness and outdoors intern Olivia Stevens talk about some of the best things to do in the Wallowa Mountains. Olivia highlights overlooked campsites, cultural sites and museums and some new hikes in northeast Oregon's Joseph-Enterprise-Wallowa Lake area. Then, Zach posts a full episode that breaks down everything to know about the area with an episode originally recorded in 2018.

In this episode of the Explore Oregon Podcast, host Zach Urness and outdoors intern Olivia Stevens walks listeners through a unique experience on Wallowa Lake in the remote northeastern town of Joseph. A small, family-run company out there recently became a viral sensation after a social media influencer posted a video paddling through the glacial lake at night in light-up, clear boats. Olivia took the nighttime clear bottom kayak tour herself, and talks about whether the experience lived up to the hype driven by all the online attention. She also talked to the family that owns the company JO Paddle about how the business of clear bottom kayak tours and rentals began, as well as where they hope to take it in the future. JO Paddle will open reservations for their next season of tours and rentals on January 1. To learn more, go to their website.

We are continuing our story of the Nez Perce War of 1877. In this episode, we will concentrate on the start of hostilities. With emotions running high, Joseph and his band left the Wallowa's of northeast Oregon for the now reduced Nez Perce reservation. When they gathered at a place called Tolo Lake, emotions got the better of three young men who murdered some ranchers along the Salmon River. The army responded and the first battle of the war, at Whitebird, began in June of 1877. General Howard, slow to respond, could not catch the bands as they traveled east. In the meantime, in a capricious attack on White Bird's village, it added to Howard's problems. Take a listen! Have a question, comment, concern, or compliment?

In this episode of the Explore Oregon Podcast, Zach and guidebook author Franziska Weinheimer pick 10 of their favorite backpacking trips for late June, July, August and September as the high outdoor recreation season gets underway. The trips recommend include shorter and longer backpacking routes, from 15 to 55 miles in length, in the Wallowa, Elkhorn, Cascade and Klamath-Siskiyou mountains. They also talk about snow levels in the mountains, wildfire danger for the summer and the third year of the Central Cascades wilderness permit system, among other topics. Weinheimer, the owner and operator of the website Hike Oregon, also talks about new hiking booklets that break down the best hikes near different towns across the state.

The Wallowa Mountains in NE Oregon have the most complicated and longest geological history of any range in Oregon.

Connection to place and community are terms we often throw around, but do we really know what they mean at their core? For me, this land, the 6 Ranch,  is the biggest part of who I am. And growing up in this small community shaped me. Cory Carman, a member of my community, is one of those people who understands. Cory grew up on a century old family ranch right here in Wallowa. With a desire to give back to a unique community that's always supported her, she went to Stanford University to study environmental policy. Cory now uses her education and generational knowledge to run the Carman Ranch, a sustainable grass-fed beef operation, in innovative ways. Cory's dedication to caring for her land, soil, and livestock, and her refusal to make small talk, leads us to a rich conversation about agriculture and the story of this place.

As the new year rapidly approaches, we are dreaming up adventures ahead with itineraries, reservation reminders and more. But we would be remiss to gloss over 2022 and its awe-inspiring trips, big and small. On this week's episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, we each count down our top five trips from the past year. Some adventures were big physical feats, while others allowed space to simply connect with a new town or a peaceful spot in nature. Here are some highlights from this week's show: Vickie recounts her two most physically challenging trips: summiting Mount St. Helens and biking around the rim of Crater Lake. Jamie explored many, many beaches on the southern coast. Exploring Joseph and the Wallowa mountains for a Peak Northwest video episode made the list for both Vickie and Jamie. One of Jamie's favorite trips was a serendipitous stay in Central America for a wedding.

In my home county, at the head of Wallowa Lake, sits a local heirloom, the Wallowa Lake Lodge. Built in 1923 from trees cut and milled on site, the lodge has seen nearly 100 years of visitors and locals alike enjoying the property, as the world changed around it. In this episode, the lodge's General Manager, Madeline Lau, sat down with me to share some fascinating history, from reintroducing elk via trains and skis, to the story of Taft and Tarzan, two of the largest elk the state has likely ever seen.

He was invited to the city to talk about his storied past, but the Nez Perce chief had his eye on the future of his people. When Chief Joseph arrived in Seattle in 1903, he had a message to deliver and a public interested in hearing it. He had become a kind of celebrity, though the nature of his renown was complicated. A leader of the Wallowa band of the Nez Perce Tribe, Joseph had joined his people as they were pushed out of their ancestral home in northeast Oregon by the U.S. Army. And he had put up a storied fight against those forces as they attempted to, and eventually did, stop the tribe's retreat to Canada. Crosscut's resident historian Knute Berger told the tale of Joseph's visit to Seattle in a recent episode of his Mossback's Northwest video series, but there is more to the story. For this episode of the Mossback podcast, Berger and co-host Sara Bernard discuss the history of harassment, attempted erasure and resistance that defined Joseph's life, as well as the forces that brought him to Seattle and how the message he came to deliver still resonates today. Before listening, we suggest you watch the Mossback's Northwest episode about Chief Joseph here. --- Credits Hosts: Sara Bernard, Knute Berger Producer: Jonah Cohen Executive producer: Mark Baumgarten

#ELB 222 w Wallowa Schools (OR) Superintendent Tammy Jones: Retirement, education,and leading through a crisis

On August 11th a severe thunderstorm rolled through Wallowa County. The town of Wallowa itself was right in the path of the storm. Mayor Gary Hulse estimates that every window on the west side of any building in about a 5 mile stretch got completely destroyed. Roofs and vehicles were also damaged. Since then, residents and volunteers have been coming together to patch up buildings and help people whose homes were destroyed. Hulse joins us to talk about the effort.

It may be one of the farthest-flung tourist towns in Oregon, but Joseph is well worth the long drive to get there. Peak Northwest podcast hosts Jamie Hale and Vickie Connor spent a busy few days in town and left feeling like they'd barely scratched the surface of things to do there. Here are some highlights from this week's show: The Jennings Hotel is a great place to stay, with modern amenities and a convenient location. Wallowa Lake is a must-visit for anybody visiting town. We packed a lot of adventure into our two full days in town, exploring the mountains, the town and more. What places and activities are we looking forward to on our next visit?

You guys have seen a ton of those photos from me so far. I like that place a lot. This was another photo from the backpacking trip that we did there back in mid September. And real cool trip, talked about it a couple of times in the podcast, but this photo was it was right where the the cabins were set up. There's this whole this whole side of the ironwood Lake area that kind of coves around and it's sort of above the waterline of the lake and over in that area probably 100 years ago before there was like a wilderness area or before there Well yeah, I guess before it was like a nationally designated wilderness area. Before we can build structures there they put up a couple like half a dozen of these log cabins that were just way back in there and I'm not sure where they what they do with them all together but it seems like a cool destination spot. So we kind of walked over there and this photo where it was taken was right over there in in that area but it was cool spots to walk around through there lots of trails that kind of cut through the side of the lake and then up to the backside and stuff that we try to check out for a little while but it's fun hiking around there and taking photos and stuff it was cool that that first morning that we got up because I think the other there was just one other set of hikers at least that we saw that were camped out there and I think they had it taken off by the time that that we were like walking around checking stuff out was cool we came up on like the boats these like aluminum. These this aluminum boats that were that were hauled up there next to the lake and put up next to a dock and they're chained in but they're not locked and we really tempted since we were the only people up there to snatch one of these boats early in the morning paddle out to the center of the lake. Hang out check it out and then paddle back. I thought it'd be pretty fun. Yeah, it was kind of funny actually on the way back when we were hiking back we saw another group hiking up and on their back they had they had a paddle at least like a kayak paddle and it looked like they had like an inflatable kayak or some kind of kayak like set up and wrapped up in their bag but I thought that was kind of an interesting idea of taking taking an inflatable kayak that was light enough to backpack and then carrying that up to to some mountain mountain lake to go do some remote backpacking. Be Kind of a cool way to get around if you if you packed it up in there. I could see it working really well if there was like a way you could use it sort of continuously. You know like if you could hike in a ways and then hit it hit a body of water and then paddle across it and save a lot of time and then pack up and then keep hiking and then keep paddling you know sort of a thing like that or you know hiking and then and then take a river down a couple days that'd be really cool. But man I don't know if I'd really want to hike up a mountain with a with a kayak on my back probably be a bummer 3:21 you can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think you can look at Billy Newman under the authors section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism, camping, cool stuff over there. And I think I just been going through editing a handful of photographs and I wanted to talk about a few of the ideas that I had around that it was cool I was gone through through an archive on a hard drive that I have for a bunch of the images from a lot of the camping that we did during September while we were out this this past year and it was cool working with with the newer Sony cameras like like I talked about a handful of times in this podcast so far and and working by like traveling around and camping and stuff work into the track and all that so it was really cool but so with a lot of these photos a handful of or you know in a waterways they really haven't been processed to to a final outcome yet. So one thing that I was working on was trying to go through some of the photographs from imnaha, Oregon and Emma How are I going to talk about on here a bit was that area that's east of of Joseph and enterprise Oregon as you get up toward Hell's Canyon, or Yeah, I guess up there like right on the Snake River and the Idaho border. And it's a cool spot. It's a really interesting little town and the geography out there. Really changes quite quite dramatically like right there out next to the Snake River and out next all those hills and mountains that are over in that area, but it looks like it used to be way More full of water out there just the amount of erosion that he can you can see that seemed like it ran through there to create this giant gorgeous that we see now that's that's a lot of Earth movement that had happened out there so it's a really cool area out there but once you get out to him now there's no services there's no gas there's no store really I think there might be some type of thing if you if you could call ahead and knew what to call ahead for but there's a road that cuts out in the in the high River Canyon where the river flows through and then there's a road that cuts up and it would go out toward Hell's Canyon or toward a viewpoint at least have at the top of Hell's Canyon as you look down into the Snake River and the Oregon Idaho divide really cool area up there and definitely worth the drive if you can get out there but at a certain point there's a viewpoint that you're able to kind of walk out to the shows all of the imnaha Canyon and really interesting way just the angle of it I think everything starts to line up really nicely in that way and that's something I've tried to kind of look for us on try to put together some photographs so that area was was really cool you know it's designed to look really beautiful but I tried to get real low and bring in some of the some of the contexts and texture the grass in this this dry grassy field that the guy stressed off on a steep slope down the hillside as it went down to the bottom of the ravine or at the bottom of the canyon you know the M the high River Canyon that's out there but the contours of the land and the distance it kind of all flowed into the same vanishing point as as in how river you know sort of worked its way up back toward the horizon but really beautiful area up there and it was cool I just sort of focusing the camera and trying to try to frame that up to sort of capture that immense pneus of edge to edge what it what it was really light is sort of feel that the way the just the amount of angle there is to that and so one thing that I was working on with this photograph was an A handful that is from from them now River Canyon was trying to try to work on some some more advanced black and white conversions of these photographs and I know there's there's different different like high contrast filters and stuff for for good black and white images and in a lot of ways I could really help a ton of images especially if they're shot right or you know cleanly with good light now you know the files are clean, there's a huge amount you can do with that with things like that, but Gosh, yeah, just trying to like go through an ad. Black and White conversions that are a little bit more specific, a little bit more adjusted to some of these photographs, especially ones that have like structural context to them or a compositional element that's really just defining landscape by the structure of the land and by the the angle of the land I call it I try to mess with that a little bit so it was a school working on it now like the the way that it turned out, it kind of pulls some of the yellow color out of it which is really just almost sometimes distracting. And then the strips it down to the kind of sharp angles that come in from the top of the top of the frame to the bottom of the frame. These these other sharp diagonals that are kind of mashed up in parallel with the two so I kind of like that part of the composition elements that come about with when you're you start working on stuff when you when you kind of work 8:19 or just when you kind of start getting a little bit more trained and stuff and when you're able to sort of make things a little bit more easily that starts to come around a bit better.

And I think there's there's sort of like a change in the vision that I have of the way that I kind of think about photographs or you know what, what is their purpose? Why are we making them and in a big way like maybe propagated by the Instagram culture or the the sharing content creation culture that sort of seems to be out right now especially for those the you know, photographers or artists, I think they feel the pressure to be content producers now, and that maybe is a little bit of a different job than the Fatah ographers or the real artists, that kind of that kind of a person. So I've been trying to sort of think about that a little bit, and then then sort of take a look at the trends of Instagram and are those my art is that what I need to pursue. And a lot of the time, I sort of noticed this. And even in my own images, this like super sharp, super crisp, everything has to be really perfect or really edited, or really meaningful and dramatic. And these images. And what I'm noticing a little bit, especially as I review my older images is that the photographs that I'm really drawn to, they're the photographs that represent the truth more, they're the photographs that kind of have them. I don't know what it is, really, but they have a little bit more of an essence of reality. Or maybe it's its reality, but it's also 10:47 a little bit of grit to it to like this really happened it was it was magical, it was interesting, I really liked that surrealism in the photographs that I take, and I have for a long time. But but there's a little bit more. And I've always I think a lot of stuff I've done kind of pushed for the Unreal. And some of the stuff that I'm kind of noticing last couple years as I looked at like the photographs and how they change this sort of how that shifted from the Unreal of landscapes or of the world you know, kind of trying to select things about landscapes, you know, when they have unusual colors to them, or unusual dynamics or phenomena like like clouds, or weather or water or something like that, that makes it sort of feel like a different look or a different image than like what we'd see midday at noon, if we looked at the same thing. So I think that's definitely still part of photography. But one thing as though since through the holidays, and through reviewing a bunch of my old photographs was how much the stock value of of a photograph goes up over time, over one year, it's a bit over a few years, it's a bit more, but over a decade, you really get, you really get to see the change that happens in time, you know, I get to see, like relatives that were much younger. And these photographs I took 15 years ago than they are now and it seems like kind of a an obvious point, or seems like something everyone should know. But really, there's a huge amount of value in the photographs because they capture something at the time that it was and you get to hold on to that after their people or the moment or the event or the experience changes. starting to notice as I'm getting older is that life does sort of change, it changes, then it's an obvious kind of point of fact that everybody's sort of known about for a long time. But in my naive sense, I've been so focused on photography or on image creation or on the product making something that's kind of crisp and sharp and perfectly usable today. I don't know if I was thinking so clearly about how the nostalgia factor or how the value of something you know, from a family or just sort of a small moment, it's captured this this more real, how that escalates in value over time. And like coming at these photos. 15 years later, even like seven years later from some of the stuff that I had, it's really interesting to see, like, wow, like I took a ton of photos of this type of topic. But I didn't I didn't take as many photographs that sort of represented my artistic experience of my life. For that humanity, I really want to try and show more of that. And the photographs, the humanity that kind of the way you feel about a photograph. And I think that's so much about what a photographer is there to do is sort of be be able to kind of pick and select which moments to capture and which ways you're going to be able to share that stuff in the future. That's going to become more nostalgic, more meaningful, or just just a way of kind of knowing that this was part of my life. Wow, that's really cool. So I have a chance to think about some of those ideas around photography for the new year a little bit. But along with that, I've been going through the last like 15 years of photos and in my big super catalog that that collection of Lightroom photos I made that's kind of trying to pull in every phone photo, every phone video, every every different camera I've had since 2002, I'm trying to get all those photos together, put them in there, I think it was like 120,000 images, something like that, which really isn't that many photos for someone that's been doing so for a long time. But I went through those and I tried to like punch those down to a lot of the Select so out of the images that I kind of want to keep from and I was trying to pull out a lot of good photos but but photos that were kind of irrelevant to me for this sort of future moving forward catalogue of stuff I want to get rid of like product photos or word photos that are hundreds and 1000s of photos even the kind of fill up space and memory in the catalog. I'll keep those definitely but those will be backed up on another harddrive. But what's active to me what's in my library currently, I want to be like the last I think I've talked about this for like the last two years or so photos in whole in total. So I can get back to that library and edit any one of those raw files that have but for stuff that's older than two years like 2015 and before I kind of want to pair those down a little bit so that I'm a little bit more specific and unable to get to those photos that were selects a little bit faster and then especially for older stuff like pre pre 2010 or so I want to around really have those things down to like the, the 100 photos, I actually, you know, I need to have around to get to for for whatever kind of stuff I need to do. But it was really cool to have gone through the old photos and you just kind of do it in this pretty quick way, you know, like this is a one star, this is a two star kind of thing. So you kind of punched through those pretty fast. And then and then I have another round to do or I'm gonna I'm gonna try and punch it, you know, from one star to star, those are going to be what I keep for a while. And then from that, I'm going to try to render that down to select all the all the three star photos, all that that's kind of like I would pick this photo and sort of put it under review. And then and then my system at least is a little bit of the four star, five stars zone that's for this is going to be published or this is going into the portfolio or as content sort of thing. So yeah, I'm gonna try and push on that stuff a bit more, and get some photographs sorted for the year, but is really cool going through all of those old trips that we've done. All those different places that we've gone to. And of course I've seen Well, one thing I've noticed is good Lord, how bad at Photoshop I was. And I want to, I want to say that I'm gonna put a little blame because I remember this happened at the time. But I want to put a little blame on how god awful my laptop monitor was like a 2006 2007 2008 laptop monitor just had no color gamut against what we know now in like modern ol or LED Retina Display monitors like Apple puts out, or like any kind of modern LED, more color accurate monitor that we have now. But I was looking at it and there's like, it's just so muddy, there's, there's so few colors that it can really represent. So you have to push things a little further out of gamut. Or at least I did at the time, kind of not understanding what I was compensating to. So I look back at some of these photos and go, Oh, I would never make it this yellow and green in a modern world. So it's kind of interesting what you know, whatever was going on, or whatever I was thinking about at the time visually, that sort of drew me to that place. But it's interesting to see like how that changes, how your aesthetic sort of change, and also a little bit of how your tools and calibration systems changed and sort of seeing like, wow, off was that way back, then. So all stuff that you kind of learn and you get better at it, it's interesting, at least to the benefit, you get better over time. And like a decade later, I see changes in the the kind of creative or the the style that I would lay out just if I started working, you know, out without actually having to try and implement a style, you know, try and lay with Oh, I'm going to make a photograph that's black and white, and of events and personal or something, instead of trying to go out with it with you know, a set intention of that which you should or could in any set of photos. But if I just go out and am shooting what I am drawn to the photographs that are capturing get in the way that I kind of perceive what they look like and how I want to show them to people, that's all kind of changed and evolved over time. And it seems like my choices in that are better than they once were. But it was interesting to just kind of seeing like, man, how many years and years and years, it takes me taking photographs, before any of these photographs really got good or got to the point where they were more than snapshots or more than just kind of data collection. I sort of thought of myself as an archivist for a long time where we're like the job wasn't really to be a photographer where it was editing to select like a moment and character and sort of like nuance between things that have like emotional pole to them, I didn't really understand that type of composition stuff, I just sort of understood the camera mechanically functioning as a light capturing tool. And so that was like that was probably the first four years of photography was sort of thinking about it like that, like I'm capturing data of a reality. And then that's going to be processed in to something else later. And it wasn't really for years until I understood like emotional vision or you know, like having some way to kind of tie the way you feel to the way that you see something. And that was really interesting kind of learning about how some of those things work. And yeah, it's still such a long route and I still have, you know, no, no real understanding, no real experience in that by anybody that's really trained, just self taught. 19:02 Little Little Billy out here.

In this episode, we will be exploring a seemingly simple question that, turns out, has a rather complicated answer. What is Wallowa Resources? In order to understand the core values of our organization, we have to go back to the beginning. Wallowa resources was founded in the backroom of a bakery in 1996. At that time, our rural community was in crisis. Due to changes in timber harvest laws, our county's sawmills shut down and 20% of the workforce lost their jobs overnight. A group of folks began meeting once a week to try and come up with a solution. How can we ensure that displaced forest and mill workers find new, meaningful, and rewarding work? How do we prevent families from leaving the county? What can we do to save our schools and hospital? These were just a few of the challenges that lay before what became the inaugural board of our organization. By speaking with our past and present directors, Diane Daggett and Nils Christoffersen respectively, and our longest sitting board members, Mike Hayward and Larry Nall, we share the story of our genesis.

After multiple COVID-19 cases, the Wallowa School District announced in an April 29 Facebook post that the high school would be closed and distance learning for students will continue through May 11. Tamera Jones, the superintendent of the Wallowa School District, tells us more about what's happening at the school.

In an effort to model decolonization among churches, the Wallowa United Methodist Church was returned to the Nez Perce tribe by the Oregon-Idaho Conference of The United Methodist Church. Instead of selling the property, church leaders saw an opportunity to strengthen their relationship with the Nez Perce Tribe. Reverend Dr. Allen Buck is a pastor at Great Spirit United Methodist Church and member of the Cherokee Nation. Casey Mitchell is the Nez Perce Tribal Executive Committee Vice-Chairman. They join us to talk about what the return of the church means for their communities.

In 1877, Eloosykasit was on his way Tolo Lake, a gathering place frequented by the Nez Perce, when he heard news of the Wallowa band's flight from the U.S. Army. Only seventeen at the time, Eloosykasit elected to remain with the migrant Nez Perce, arming himself with a rifle abandoned at White Bird Canyon, and following Chief Joseph on toward Montana. Over a century later, in the summer of 1989, Eloosykasit's descendant, Josiah Pinkham, traced the same path as part of an immersive summer program organized entirely around the Chief Joseph Trail. The trip was but one of many ways that the Upward Bound Program - based out of University of Idaho and known regionally as "the Indian Program" - provided Indigenous and non-Indigenous students alike with experiences that recentered Niimíipuu (Nez Perce) and Skitswish (Coeur D'Alene) history and culture. Well-known across the Nez Perce Reservation, Coeur D'Alene Reservation, and nearby communities, Idaho's Upward Bound Program serves as the focus of journalist Tony Tekaroniake Evans' latest book, Teaching Native Pride: Upward Bound and the Legacy of Isabel Bond (Washington State University Press, 2020). Drawing on dozens of interviews with former Upward Bound participants and instructors, Evans traces the development of the program under longtime coordinator Isabel Bond, who has spent decades working to support local Indigenous youth through education. Evans weaves historical narratives both old and recent into a story of community-building and cultural appreciation. Though situated deeply in Nez Perce and Coeur D'Alene history and homelands, Evans' Teaching Native Pride shows the ways that Bond's Upward Bound Program, in many ways, serves as a model for educational experiences that highlight the importance of Indigenous pasts, persistence, experiences, and expertise.

Hello there, We’re the Nichols family. When we tell you that we treasure your support, we really mean it. You mean more to our family than you might realize. Thank you from our family to yours. Here is some info about our family… We moved to Joseph in 2016. We moved all the way across the country from Georgia. Every time we share that tidbit with a new friend they simply ask “Why?”. Well it’s generally a simple answer. Usually if we are outside we’ll turn and gesture at the magnificent Wallowa Mountains and point out the natural beauty of our area. But when we get down to brass tacks it really was because we were seeking a close-nit community to raise our children. We wanted to live somewhere where people have pride in their beliefs and their actions. With six children they generally are the driving force for most of our life decisions these days. Seeking those ideals is how we found Joseph. Over the past decade Joseph’s economy has shifted to be primarily Tourism driven. A lot of places might not be super thrilled about that because sometimes some visitors don’t care much about taking care of places they visit because they’ll only be there for a short time. Unfortunately most major tourist areas show the result of this line of thinking and tend to be heavily littered and poorly taken care of. Joseph on the other hand has been lucky and sits on the opposite side of that norm. Joseph seems to have this magical effect on our visitors and it almost instantly earns the respect of anyone who steps foot on these grounds. Joseph just feels like home. Robert started guiding for Joseph Branch Railriders in 2016 and by 2017 he was the manager. There are a lot of amazing things to do in Wallowa county and scenic gems that many visitors miss out on when they visit our area. Railriders provides a one of a kind opportunity to sit back relax and have some good old-fashioned fun while exploring the areas that you can’t get to by car, the areas us locals hold dear. We’re super stoked to offer this outing to our visitors and locals alike. We sincerely treasure each and every one of our customers. We understand what it takes to get to Joseph. We’re here to make you smile and to have a great time. We look forward to hosting you and yours out on the rails! -The Nichols Family- P.S. We are the former owners of another unique Wallowa County business, it’s now owned by another great young family and they would love to meet you. You should definitely check them out!

The hormonal shifts women experience later in life, namely perimenopause and menopause, aren't talked about very often. This lack of education and awareness can lead to women feeling out of control and confused when their bodies start changing, sliding away from things they used to be able to count on. Dr. Amy Zahm has helped many women navigate these shifts in identity and she brings a lot of useful wisdom to this conversation around the benefits that Chinese Medicine can have for women going through menopause and perimenopause. Rather than a medicalized condition that needs treating, she encourages us to view these reorganizations as part. of the natural, beautiful progression of yin and yang in the body. On Today's Episode of A Healthy Curiosity: Why play is so crucial and some ideas for getting started What perimenopause is and what the signs of it are The Chinese Medicine perspective on how different times in life are for different purposes Why finding ways to slow down is often so critical in responding to signals from our bodies How even taking a 60 second breathing break can help you start downregulating the nervous system Dr. Amy Zahm is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine who has been practicing in rural NE Oregon for sixteen years. Amy specializes in women's health, mental and emotional health, chronic illness and pain management. She has a particular love for using the principles of Chinese Medicine to help women of all ages navigate the transitional periods of their lives with more ease and grace than our society generally allows. In addition to serving Wallowa county, she will soon be expanding her practice to include telehealth.

Montana Pagano works for the Nez Perce fisheries in the tribe's watershed restoration division. Kyle Bratcher is the acting district fish biologist for Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Wallowa district. For this podcast, we talk to Montana and Kyle about the work they do to help restore and manage fisheries in beautiful Northeast Oregon. The two of them often work together on many projects that overlap, and they represent a new era of partnerships between tribes and local and state agencies on conservation efforts for fish ranging from lamprey to bull trout. 

We are in the midst of a global movement, with Black Lives Matter protests erupting all around the nation and beyond. Rural Organizing Project’s multiracial network of human dignity groups is answering the call. Here in Oregon, rural and small-town communities have hosted over 75 community events in every corner of the state. People are gathering on street corners, in churches and parks, and in socially-distanced car caravans to protest and hold vigil for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and the many other Black and brown people killed by police. Almost all of these protests were organized by young people braving a pandemic. In this month’s episode, Black Lives Matter: Voices of Rural Oregon, we’ll hear from protest organizers including Adriana Aquarius in Deschutes County and Gianna Espinoza in Wallowa County about why their communities are showing up in defense of Black lives.Local organizers have also been taking the energy of this moment and directing it towards organizing for racial justice on the local level. Groups in the ROP network and new groups called to action by the current uprising are digging into police and sheriffs’ budgets, calling and emailing local elected officials, and talking to their neighbors about racism and white supremacy. Following the leadership of the Movement for Black Lives, rural Oregonians are working to end systemic racism in their counties, defunding the police, and investing our resources into the things that create true safety and help our communities thrive. Get involved by emailing office@rop.org!Download this episode’s transcription at ruralrootsrising.orgMore on what you heard in this episode:You can learn more about the vision and demands of the Movement for Black Lives here and current opportunities for action here! Referenced in the episode, you can find the Pew Survey which found a majority of people in the US support Black Lives Matter here.ROP is holding multiple statewide calls to strategize together about how to continue our organizing in the face of intimidation and threats from white supremacist counter-protesters and to share strategies for translating the Movement for Black Lives’ demands into each county's specific context.

Is it possible to become a rancher when you aren’t born into a land inheritance? Aimee Danch and Jeremiah Stent from Square Mile Ranch join us today to talk about their recent purchase of a 370-acre ranch in Wallowa, Oregon.   Like people buy a fixer-upper home for their first one. We’re buying a fixer-upper ranch for our first one and we feel really excited about (it). -Jeremiah Stent   Both Jeremiah and Aimee have experience managing ranches across and even outside the country. Originally their goal was to manage livestock and land rather than own their own. They planned on being able to “sell semi truckloads of finished animals and get a paycheck.” But the allure of ownership, autonomy, personally contributing to a local community and being able to manage at their own discretion led them to start looking at land for sale. By pursuing services from the Farm Service Agency Joint Financing Program they were able to gain access to operating loans. Pairing that with an individual investor allowed them to take their first steps into ranch ownership.   That’s what people think about farmers and ranchers buying land. They (think) they probably pay for it with what they’re going to grow there. But that's not very common anymore” - Aimee Danch   Despite working very long hours and needing to find supplemental income off the farm Aimee explains that their “quality of life is so high.” They enjoy the food they produce, the “amazing relations” with their neighbors, the “hands-on time with their daughter” and the control over their own schedule.   There is a huge amount of flexibility in this lifestyle and just the sheer beauty and satisfaction of what we’re doing seems to make up for the other parts.” - Aimee Danch   At this time they are raising grass-fed beef, pastured hogs, pastured chickens and grass-fed lambs. Their farming model relies on a small quantity of high-quality livestock focused on a customer base that is “looking to make a direct connection to where they’re sourcing their food and to know what their food is eating.” In this model, they are able to sit down and tell their customers their story and to have them ask questions. This has created a very loyal following in their customer base that by word of mouth continues to expand. I took a visit to one of their pork drop off sites in Boise and was struck by the ability of their product to be used as a powerful tool for building a real community.   Their main takeaway for would-be ranchers is to “find somebody to work for that's going to help pay for your education.” Work in the field and gain experience before jumping all in to avoid “a really steep learning curve getting into this.” They also suggest “seeking out people that are going to give you a really hard honest truth about what it looks like.” “Unless you can afford your mistakes” this experience and knowledge will save you from being overwhelmed.

Why would the Gov't go after 'hostile' Natives that were never hostile? Who were nice enough to help Lewis and Clark out of the mountains and to the Columbia, AKA ,their most desperate part of the trip. And helped fight other tribes for the Gov't too. Well of course some honkies wanted a high valley in the Wallowa country that belonged to the Nez Perce. Chief Joe and the Nez Perce were now pissed off. Then Chief Joseph took the U.S. Army on a 1200 mile wild ass goose chase. Hot pursuit, hot pursuit! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/htwwf/support

The East Moraine of the Wallowa Lake Moraines is a textbook example of a glacial moraine.The glacially formed mass of rocks and sediment is largely untouched and attracts visitors from around the world.Now, it is under threat of being made residential and closed to visitors. The goal of the Campaign for the East Moraine is to raise enough funding so that Wallowa County can buy the property and secure it as a community forest in order to keep the land undeveloped and allow access to the public.

In the 1990's, the timber industry of Wallowa County collapsed overnight. With work programs and collaborative groups, Wallowa Resources has invigorated the county with new life by opening sustainable timber harvest and opportunities for conservation.

We'll run down the options for escape in the Wallowa Mountains and the town of Joseph. From easy going family adventures to full blown wilderness feats.

As we prepare for the 2019 legislative session, we spoke with Oregon Representative John Lively, a democrat representing Springfield, District 12. He has lived in Springfield for more than 50 years but was born in LaGrande and grew up in Wallowa. He has served on the Springfield City Council and as the city's mayor and is headed into his seventh session for the Oregon legislature. Last year he began serving on the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Education where budget recommendations are made for the education portion of the state budget. He is also a member and chair of the House Committee on Early Childhood and Family Supports which is focused on programs for children age 0-5. In this interview, we discuss his experiences working on behalf of children and families and how that work has evolved over the years. We also explore the role of Oregon's Early Learning Hubs in supporting early learning efforts, economic factors that impact family stability, the state revenue forecast for the next biennium, and much more.

Episode 104: We All Know Fear We all know fear. We’ve come up short as the fear of rejection stopped us from being vulnerable with someone, or stopped us from creating a relationship, or stopped us from sharing ourselves or an idea. We’ve known the fear of failure as we’ve contemplated doing something risky and then done an about-face as the wash of “what-if-it doesn’t-work” engulfs us. Fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of rejection are internally generated. These fears come from evolution –based circumstances. A need to be part of a community (so not wanting to alienate others), a need to know outcomes (fear of the unknown), a need to survive. Fear of the dark stems from being in a space where our senses cannot inform us of what is around us. It’s very natural to fear not-knowing. Fear is a big part of the human experience, but facing fear is the only way through it. Stay tuned for a head-on tackle of this all too familiar topic. In order to manage fear and to gauge which actions we will take and which ones we won’t, we ask “What If” questions. What if I try this and I fail? What if it doesn’t work? What if I make a decision and in a few years I’m not happy? What if people think I’m stupid, or if I ruin my reputation? What if my idea is too elementary? What if I get told no? What if I get hurt? It’s normal to ask these questions. It’s how we gauge risk. But there is a point where these questions quit serving us and they simply hold us back, paralyze us, keep us small. Here are a few other questions to ask yourself after you’ve listened to all the self-preservation questions: What IF it didn’t work out? Does the world really end? Would I regret the courage and adventure of trying for this, of attempting to live bigger, of loving and risking for the life with the most potential? What if it DID work out? What adventures might I find along the way? What will I learn as I let myself focus on success instead of fear? What’s really possible if I chose courage and possibility instead of fear? Do I want to still be who I am and where I am now, five years from now? Let me share a personal story: A few weeks ago I headed out on a backpacking trip with nine other people into the Wallowa mountain range. You’ll remember Lydia McGranahan, the woman who found Annie Schmidt’s body and Marty Newey, the man in Annie Schmidt’s search party from episodes 73, 74 and 75. I was invited to join this group on their annual adventure because we all wanted to meet, and because we all love nature and adventures, and because with my experience as an outdoor recreationalist – being a hiking guidebook writer – they believed I would be up for the challenge. As did I. We carpooled to Oregon, a group of 9 people. I had four in my car, with every intention that we would be spending the next 5 days together in the mountains. The plan was that we’d start out with a 6-mile day, then a 12 mile, then a 5 mile, then a 10 mile and then a 4 mile with daily side hikes tacked on. Well, I have spent many years backpacking and I know my limits well. I know that with a full pack I can punch out 8 miles a day before my feet and resolve have worn out. But, I had really wanted to come with this group and I figured if Marty, who is almost 60 could pump out that type of mileage, I could push through it. I went in with hope, but by the end of day 1, which had actually turned out to be about a mile and a half longer than projected, I was at my max for the day and I didn’t want to think about getting up bright and early as the sun warmed my tent, strapping my pack back on my aching hips and shoulders, and kicking out an additional 12 miles. The pace would be grueling. We’d climbed 3000 feet with a full pack on day one. It had been a good day, but now we were at a beautiful mountain lake, 7.5 miles into the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and setting up a base camp was what I would do if left to my own devices. I’d set up a base camp, do day...

Welcome to the show, on today's episode I am lucky enough to have sat down with Wayne Endicott, owner of the Bow Rack, and we had an awesome discussion about hunting in Oregon. We pretty much cover all of the over the counter hunts in Oregon, including some of Wayne's history growing up, and how he became a bow shop owner. Wayne lives in Western Oregon, which means he is lucky enough to be able to hunt Blacktail deer every year, so we spend quite a bit of time discussing tactics for hunting these elusive deer. We also talk about some of the histories in Wallowa County, and how the wolves in Oregon have affected Wallowa. To wrap up the episode Wayne shares stories about Roy Roth, which I hope you all enjoy. I hope that you all enjoy this episode, and thank you for listening.   Show Notes: Interview starts (3:00) Becoming a bow shop owner (12:15) The hunting community today (27:45) Hunting in Oregon (33:45) Southern Oregon blacktail (42:00) Private leases (44:00) Hunting Oregon high country (48:00) Spot and stalk vs tree stand hunting for blacktail (52:00) Rattling in blacktail bucks (58:30) Columbian whitetail deer (1:04:30) Wolves in Oregon (1:14:00) Stories about Roy Roth (1:34:00) The Bow Rack (1:57:00)

One day in July we were driving through the small town of Wallowa in the far Northeast corner of Oregon on our way to Joseph to record a show from the Fishtrap writers' retreat. As we drove past the school, we couldn't help but notice the front lawn was filled with tents. What was the reason for a full-scale summer camp out at school? Meet Fiddle Tunes Camp.If you like what you hear, Fiddle Tunes Camp are sponsoring a big music festival in Enterprise this weekend called the Juniper Jam.

This week: we travel from the front lines of forest fires to the trailer parks of outer space. It's all in a day's work for the Labor Day weekend.Graphic Novelist Craig ThompsonWe start with the singular Craig Thompson. His incredible, 600-page autobiography “Blankets,” about growing up in a fundamentalist Christian family in Wisconsin, was a game-changer, sweeping the awards and redefining the literary depths a graphic novel memoir could reach. Then Thompson completely changed gears with “Habibi,” an epic set in a modern Arabian Nights fantasia. Now Thompson has released “Space Dumplins.” It’s the zany adventure of a girl who has to save her family from giant planet-eating whales whose excrement has replaced oil as the universe’s fuel. Did we mention there are sartorial, talking chickens?How Do Bands Decide?As you check out the fall concert calendar — you probably noticed we have some big acts coming to town, like Madonna’s first visit in years — have you ever wondered how bands decide where to book stops on their tours? Our pal Mitchell Hartmann looked into it for Marketplace.Musician Craig FinnBest known as the frontman of the Hold Steady, Craig Finn is famous for his storytelling, both in his songs and between them. He’s on tour this summer to promote his new solo album, “Faith In The Future.” During a live session for OPB Music, Finn performed the song “Newmyer’s Roof” and told the story behind the music. Alien SheThis weekend the Museum of Contemporary Craft and the Pacific Northwest College of Arts opens the exhibition called “Alien She” designed to unlock the history and impact of the Riot Girl Movement. The curators tell us about it.Painter Rachel DavisRachel Davis’s newest exhibition, “A Trace History,” explores the interplay of ancient and modern China. In her whimsical watercolors, skyscrapers spring up as tall as mountains, and trucks go barrelling over land while terra cotta warriors wait buried below the surface. It’s a juxtaposition close to Davis’s heart. Both of her adopted daughters were born in Central China. Davis told us about how she’s riveted by the speed with which China has hurtled ahead during her daughters’ childhood here. The Astoria Music Festival Gets A New BoardThe festival’s onstage presence can be peaceful and sublime. But offstage, there’s been some drama. The Festival’s entire board announced in late July they were resigning, en masse. This week, a new board has signed on. We talk check in with “Daily Astorian” reporter Erick Bengel for an update.A Jazz LifeOur sister station KMHD runs a series called “A Jazz Life,” where jazz artists and fans talk about moments when a musical experience changed their lives. They’re starting up a new season with this story from Jennifer Mayerle, a Portland-based marketing content strategist, who happened to sit behind an idol at a small New York jazz club.Wallowa Fiddle Tunes CampOne day in July we were driving through the small town of Wallowa in the far Northeast corner of Oregon on our way to Joseph to record a show from the Fishtrap writers’ retreat. As we drove past the school, we couldn’t help but notice the front lawn was filled with tents. What was the reason for a full-scale summer camp out at school? Meet Fiddle Tunes Camp.Fire Fighting Meets PhotographyAlan Thornton’s photography career has taken him from the deserts of the Southwest U.S. to distant lands like Turkey and Cambodia, but there was one shot that he could never get close enough to snap: a forest fire. So this spring, Thornton took a wildland firefighting course. Since then, he has found a new job working as a photographer and a firefighter. You can hear to the full conversation on Think Out Loud.

Every summer, writers from all over the country head to the base of the towering Wallowa Mountains for Summer Fishtrap, a conference about writing and the West. This year, they celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the festival's founders, the journalist and historian Alvin Josephy, with the theme “Hidden From History: Stories We Haven’t Heard, Stories We Haven’t Told.”We couldn't resist the draw of a roadtrip to the mountains, so we invited a number of Fishtrap founders and visiting writers to join us for a live show at the Josephy Center for Arts and Culture. A round table with festival founders Kim Stafford (writer and Lewis and Clark professor) and Rich Wandschneider (former longtime Fishtrap director and now head of the Josephy library), as well as festival board president Rose Caslar, a Wallowa County native who took her first Fishtrap class at 15. They talk about Josephy's influence, the place of Western writing, the reaction to hanging a four-point buck rack in a Lewis and Clark College dormitory and the area's troubled relationship with its original inhabitants, the Nez Perce. 13:30 - Josephy Center director Cheryl Coughlan tells us about how the center helps to culture a creative life in a rural community. 17:56 - Keynote speaker Timothy Egan discusses reporting on stories hidden in plain site. Best known for his National Book Award–winning “The Worst Hard Time,” chronicling Dust Bowl stories, Egan has also written about the photographer Edward Curtis, the wildfire that gave rise to the U.S. Forest Service and western issues of all types for his regular op-eds in the "New York Times." 25:10 - We venture to Fishtrap's lodge for a youth workshop on writing hip-hop theater with poet Myrlin Hepworth. 29:10 - Roberta Connor, the director of the Tamastlikt Cultural Institute whose family includes Nez Perce, Umatilla and Cayuse ancestry, was invited to Fishtrap to talk about what happens when Native stories are told by white writers and to share some of the hidden stories that speak most deeply to her. 36:57 - We close with a discussion with two of this year's most rambunctious workshop leaders, writers Erika Wurth and Sherwin Bitsui. Wurth, who is Apache, Chickasaw and Cherokee, most recently published "Crazy Horse's Girlfriend" and is working on a novel about Native gangs. Bitsui is a Diné from the Navajo Reservation in White Cone, Arizona, and his most recent poetry collection, "Floodsong," won the American Book Award and the PEN Open Book Award.The music in this week's show comes from Tony Furtado's newest album, "The Bell." Furtado has a slew of Oregon shows coming up, including one near the Wallowas at Enterprise's OK Theater on July 30.
