The Observer is ‘our paper’
My name is Dorothy
Swart Fleshman and I
write Dory’s Diary for The
Observer and the Baker
City Herald on the B Sec-
tion of Home and Living
on Mondays.
I am not on either of the
✁✂✄☎✆☎✁✝ ✄✞✆✟✄ ✠✝ ✆✡ ☛
paid for my 10 years of their
publishing my column. I
also pay for my own annual
subscription, so I believe I
can speak freely in response
to John Milbert’s letter in
Monday’s paper berating
The Observer for things
presently out of its control.
The news media means a
lot to me because it keeps me
in touch with the world as
well as my neighbors. There
has always been newsprint
on my doorstep for my pe-
rusal in making up my own
mind regarding world and
current events as well as en-
joy the extras it provides.
That introduction out
of the way, I would like to
thank Mr. Milbert for what-
ever led to his expressing
his thoughts so violently.
Words are better than ac-
tual action in getting a point
across. It must have been
festering for a long time to
come out so vehemently at
this time, but it now opens
an opportunity to discuss
what seems to be currently
wrong with the situation.
The problem, as closely as
I can ascertain, is that The
Observer, just as does the
Baker City Herald and oth-
ers, face not just the content
that appears in the paper
on their publishing days,
but that their problems are
so much greater than they
appear on the surface—pri-
marily, their existence.
There is so much go-
ing on behind the scenes
for these two newspapers,
among others involved in
the bankruptcy of the par-
ent company out of our
area, that it is surprising
that our newspapers have
existed as long as they have.
Much of their hanging on
is by the dedication of the
folks who have stayed loyal
to the world of printed me-
dia and our area.
Because I am closer than
most of the general public
to our local newspaper, I
have been able to observe
the newsroom that is being
so viciously criticized at the
moment without just cause,
and I see how hard they
work with inadequate pay,
equipment, or public ac-
claim. They don’t even have
an authorized editor right
now but the four of them
keep working together to
see that their part of the pa-
per comes out on schedule.
They need accolades not
upbraiding at this point.
Hurray for Dick, Ron,
Amanda, and Lisa in the
newsroom to start with!
Likewise praises for the rest

care about the local news-
paper’s existence. Without
their belief and support, we
won’t have to worry about
receiving the newspaper on
our doorstep. It will just be
added to things of the past
as a memory.
Mr. Milbert’s letter brings
up some very viable points,
and when the bankruptcy
✓✁✑✍✄✍✠ ✄ ✆✝✁ ✘ ✆✒✍✚✁✓ ✆ ✓
determined regarding our
local paper in a couple of
months or so, with The Ob-
server and the Baker City
Herald continuing on... or
not... the content should
then be re-evaluated for the
generation they serve. Then
opinions, like Mr. Milbert’s,
should be viable and noted.
It is our paper; we are
responsible for its welfare
if we want it to survive. All
the bad words and anger
in the dictionary directed
in what we have now won’t
change it. Now is not the
time to criticize but to sup-
port it. Those are young
folks working down there
facing their loss of liveli-
hood through no fault of
their own. They live in our
community where we want
them to stay. Don’t kick
them while they’re down.
Give them a helping hand if
only with kind words. Pay it
forward.
