Baker City man begins new hard cider business

A Baker City man who
has been brewing his own
beer for almost 30 years
has started a new busi-
ness fermenting hard fruit
cider.
Mark Crowder, who
owns Rain Barrel Cider-
works, hopes to begin pro-
duction late this month
after receiving a license
from the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission.
The Baker County Coun-
cil endorsed Crowder’s
application during its
April 23 meeting.
He plans to make apple
cider and an apple-cherry
blend initially.
Crowder, who moved to
Baker City in October 2017
with his wife, Veronica,
said he will buy juice from
outside sources to start
— either Ryan’s Juice in
Hood River or a plant in
Wenatchee, Washington
with once he has his busi-
ness established.
Crowder said he will
bottle some cider but most
will be stored in kegs and
sold to restaurants, bars
and for special events.
Crowder said he and his
wife, who works in ortho-
pedics at Saint Alphonsus
Medical Center in Baker
City, moved from Port-
land because they had
long wanted to live in a
rural area.
Crowder, who started
brewing beer when he
was in college in 1991 and

— but he would like to use
local apples eventually.
He said there are sev-
eral orchards he can work
hard cider in 2009, said
Baker City also seemed to
him a logical place to start
a cidery.
“It seemed like it was
a good area to open one
because it was kind of
underserved by the cider
community,” he said.
Crowder said his in-
terest in cider started in
2009 when he and sev-
eral neighbors bought an
apple press to make fresh,
but unfermented, juice.
But Crowder started to
experiment with ferment-
ing the juice, creating
hard cider, and it “kind of
ballooned from there,” he
said.
He progressed from

considered starting his
own cidery around 2011.
“It was around the time
there was a big ‘cider re-
naissance’ in the U.S. and
a lot of cideries were open-
ing in Portland,” he said.
He had several friends
who opened cideries and
said “it seemed like some-
thing I wanted to try.”

Preliminary settlement reached in suit against chief
a former journalist against
Baker City and its police
chief has reached a prelim-
inary settlement.
Brian Addison, who for-
merly worked as a reporter
for The Record-Courier
newspaper, sued Baker
City and then-police chief
Wyn Lohner in U.S. Dis-
trict Court alleging they
had retaliated against him
after he wrote an edito-
rial criticizing the police
department.
Addison’s editorial was
published in The Record-
Courier in 2008. The long-
time weekly newspaper
has since ceased publica-
tion.
Addison’s attorney, Clif-
ford S. Davidson of the
Portland, said Tuesday in a
telephone interview that
details of the settlement
cannot be disclosed until

he stated in an email to the
Herald.
Addison’s lawsuit had
been set to go to trial in
U.S. District Court at
Pendleton in August. The
most recent docket entry,
which was made on Thurs-
day, recorded a 60-day or-
der of dismissal.
That means Addison’s
complaint will be dis-
missed with prejudice,

Addison’s lawsuit sought
damages to be determined
at trial on claims that the
city and Lohner retaliated
against his freedom of
Record-Courier.
The editorial was titled
“How about a favorable
interpretation of the 4th
Amendment.”
In it, Addison referred
to the police department’s
use of its drug-detecting
dog during the 1A state
basketball
tournament,
which he saw as a violation
of constitutional protec-
tion against unreasonable
search and seizure.
Addison’s lawsuit claimed
that the City and Lohner
interfered with his job op-
portunities, defamed him
and deprived him of due pro-
cess because of what he had
written.
District Court Judge
Michael H. Simon ruled in
August 2017 that Lohner
was not entitled to quali-

Simon granted motions
for summary judgment
by Baker City and Lohner
on federal claims alleging
violation of procedural
and substantive due pro-
cess and Addison’s claim
alleging personal liability
against Lohner.
The complaint, which
had been set to go to trial in
April, was postponed when

had been stopped numer-

Addison also sought
