News from the week you might have missed

Good morning.

Here’s a roundup of the most recent news from your team at the Malheur Enterprise.

But first, let us share that the area is under a heat advisory. The National Weather Service forecasts that Ontario will reach 106 on Sunday. The temperature will dip slightly after that but 100-plus temperatures return through the second half of the week.

We’re used to hot weather in Malheur County, but it never hurts to remember the basics – stay hydrated, check on those who may need help, safeguard your pets and heed any sign you or someone you’re with is suffering heat exhaustion.

In the week ahead, watch for our reports on the mural dedication in Vale, the Obon festival in Ontario and the final part of our series “Children of Poverty.”
