WALLOWA -- We shared a report from the Wallowa County Sheriff's office earlier this week about a bear cub spotted near the Wallowa School Campus. We have now received a photo of the cub from Breanna Williams, taken by another local community member.

Keep an eye out and, remember, DO NOT approach the cub if it seen. Bear cubs may seem cute, but they are wild animals.

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐁𝐮𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤
This week was National School Bus Safety Week. With millions of children across the nation riding a school bus every day, this is a topic that is important in every community, every day! The Oregon Department of Transportation reminds drivers to slow down around school busses and stop when the school bus stop-arms are out and the red lights are flashing. Nationally, school bus passing is illegal, and it poses a deadly risk to bus riders, child pedestrians, and their caregivers.

🟡 Yellow means slow.
🛑 Red means stop.

Let’s protect kids getting on and off the school bus! Always stop when the stop-arm is out.

INTERIM ENTERPRISE POLICE CHIEF SETTLES IN AS SEARCH FOR PERMANENT SUCCESSOR BEGINS

ENTERPRISE -- As Interim Police Chief Alan Juilfs gets settled into his new role, the city of Enterprise is starting the process to find permanent replacement for former chief Kevin McQuead, who stepped down in September.

City Administrator Zak Bradshaw said he submitted information for a job posting for the position, but wants to get input from the city's police committee before final approval.

Juilfs said he spent his first weeks on the job getting a feel for where the department stands and sharing his thoughts on its future direction. He said he already met with the police committee and both officers.

Juilfs noted he will be out of the office until Nov. 2, but hopes to begin taking calls alongside his administrative duties when he returns.
