FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 2015 THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS — 13 Local & Entertainment Bebe’s word search Charley’s CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Christina Witham, of Oregon Sign Company in Baker City, was recruited, per recommendations, to handle the graphics design work. “She does great work,” Furtney said. Furtney said Witham replicated graphics from original Basche-Sage Mall signs found in the base- ment of the building, and placed them on the glass of the double door entrance on Broadway. “They’re beautiful,” Furtney said. For now, Batchelor said, most of the interior work involves cleaning, moving appliances out, removing countertops, and determin- ing what needs replacing, and what layout will be, with work paused until after Christmas and the New Year. Furtney provided a teaser, regarding a mystery appliance, expected to be installed: “It’s something very unique, and, very cool. It will be exciting, it will stir up interest,” she said. Furtney said that, with other businesses to run full-time, it’s diffi cult to fi nd time to spend remod- eling Charley’s. “We’re doing it as fast as we can, and, believe me, I want to be open,” she said. Furtney and Batchelor said they’d like to continue some of the traditions of Charley’s, such as work- ing with local fi re and police departments to offer ice cream vouchers for children. Furtney said, “That’s our vision, too,“ about continu- ing traditions, and, being a big part of the commu- nity. The grand opening is expected long before next summer, she said.
