Solar eclipse meeting
CONTINUED FROM
PAGE 8
The Forest Service and
BLM reported that they are
expecting the “Rainbow
Family” to come to forest
land but as they don’t
publicize their destination
they are not positive at this
point exactly where that
will be.
But as the Rainbow
Family reportedly has
over 2,000 members this
will most likely be a large
gathering.
BLM also said it is work-
ing on getting a Federal
Register Notice for the
possible closing of danger-
ous roads for the Eclipse
Weekend, at which point
Malheur County Sheriff
Brian Wolfe said, “ I am
very opposed to closing off
any public lands.”
The forest service and
BLM are also concerned
about fi re safety and plan
to coordinate with private
landowners with prop-
erty adjacent to public
lands on signage for their
property lines to try and
minimize people inadver-
tently encroaching on their
property.
Meetings will be held
every month until the
Eclipse with the next one
scheduled on April 26 from
1-3 p.m. at the Baker City
Hall Council Chambers.
All interested parties are
encouraged to attend.

Community orchestra
to hold spring concert
The Baker Community
Orchestra will hold its
Spring Concert, Friday,
April 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the
South Baker Intermediate
School Gym, 1285 Third

no admission charge and
all are welcome.
The orchestra, under the
direction of Kelly Brick-

and movie themes. The

Beethoven, Bartok and
Tchaikovsky, along with
pieces by modern compos-

Fox that have a country
The
fl air. We go to the movies
with arrangements of Ber-
nstein’s “West Side Story”
and that all time favorite
by Henry Mancini, “The
Pink Panther!” We visit
the Middle East with “Ara-
bian Dances” by Roland
Barrett, and Finland with
an arrangement of “Fin-
landia” by Jean Sibelius.
And there is more!
The Baker Community
Orchestra is made up of
volunteer community
members. The primary
mission of the Orchestra
is to provide community
members an opportunity to
make and enjoy instrumen-
tal music. The orchestra
is open to any community
member who can play a
band or orchestra instru-
ment, read music and play,
or learn to play, at a high
school level. There is no
audition requirement, just
come and play! If you have
never played an instru-
ment, would like to learn
or re-learn, call us and we
will be glad to help with
that as well. The Orches-
tra has some instruments
for loan to get a person
started. Come see what we
do, and if it is something
you would like to do, chat
with a member. For more
information contact Brian
Watt at (541) 523-4662.
