Cliff Welter
In 1946, Cliff started his
own construction company
"Cliff Welter Construc-
tion." It was truly a family
business. His company
built several medical build-
ings around Baker County
including The Baker Vi-
sion Clinic, Saint Alphon-
sus Valley Medical Clinic,
and The Baker Clinic. He
also built the Presbyterian
Church and Unity High
School.
The things Cliff enjoyed
the most during his life
was spending time with his
family, hunting, camping,
fi shing and boating. He
loved the outdoors and had
a cabin on both the Snake
River and in Sumpter.
When Friday's would roll
around the family packed
up and headed out for a
weekend of fun.
Cliff was preceded in
death by his wife Beatrice,
Son Mike Welter, his par-
ents, and all of his siblings.
Cliff is survived by
Sons; Dale Welter and his
companion Alice West;
Roger and Sally Welter;
Grandchildren, great-
grandchildren, nieces and
nephews.
For those who would
like to make a memorial
donation in Memory of
Cliff, the family suggests
"Creating Memories."
(Monies helps with equip-
ment, fuel, or fi shing poles
to help give the opportu-
nity to those children with
disabilities a chance to get
outdoors to hunt or fi sh.)

children, percussionist
Dan attends Lewis and
Clark College on a full
ride scholarship, and fl utist
Kate studies at Whitman
College also on a full ride
scholarship.
“I’ve really been blessed
with having this many
great students. I’ve had
a lot of valedictorians
and salutatorians in my
classes,” said Sizer.
“I give thanks to the ad-
ministration here—having
Jerry Peacock and Mindi
Vaughan here all these
years was a great support.
And, thanks to the really
strong elementary school
music teachers. I also want
to thank the Leo Adler
Foundation and the Harold
Kirklin Fund and the alum-
ni who buy instruments
through their donations.
Also, the Community Con-
cert Association has been
very supportive and has
hired the band to backup
performers, and have had
us on the concerts,” said
Sizer.
“The year we had the
(Oregon) Symphony here
was a highlight of my
career. Other highlights
include the trips we take
every year and the fi ve or
six times we‘ve played at
the state band festival,” he
added.
Like any great performer,
Sizer leaves the Baker
School District at the top
of his game with his audi-
ence wanting more.
“Pasco is a good location
for me because my daugh-
ter is going to Whitman in
Walla Walla and because
it’s close to Baker and I’ll
come back to Baker,” he
promised.

Three arrested for meth
Three individuals were
arrested late last night
at the Sunridge Inn/Best
Western for possession of
meth.
According to Police
Chief Wyn Lohner, Stepha-
nie Pogue, Kevin Treanor
and Nathan Paulsen were
arrested in room #243 for
possession of the substance
after Sunridge employees
noticed and called in what
they thought was suspi-
cious activity.
"The staff were very
attentive and proactive in
observing the situation
and contacting us," said
Lohner.
Paulsen was also
charged with tamper-
ing with evidence after
attempting to swallow the
meth when police entered
the room.
Lohner said, "Offi cer
Hawkins reacted swiftly
and prevented him from
swallowing it."
6.3 grams of meth were
located in the room.
Two BCPD offi cers
responded along with two
offi cers from Parole and
Probation.
— Random Acts of Kindness —
Each week The Baker
County Press will in-
clude a list—all anony-
mous, of course—of
the good deeds and
random acts of kind-
ness people from
around the area have
witnessed. To include
something you’ve seen
or experienced, email
The
News@TheBakerCoun-
tyPress.com with “Ran-
dom Acts of Kindness”
in the subject line.
We’ll be sure to include
your story.
• Our teenage daughter
picked up and organized
all the clothes she’d
outgrown, and then had
her friends all do the
same. Then she col-
lected all the clothes
into bags and donated
them. We live in Union
County and hope it’s ok
to submit this! As par-
ents, we’re impressed
every day with her
kindness.
