On August 24, Theresa
Ball held the grand open-
ing for Chill’z Frozen
Yogurt on Main Street.
Ball is also the owner of
Theresa’s Treasures and
Baker City Vape.
Ball has owned Theresa’s
Treasure’s for four years
on First Street and recently
moved it to Main Street,
and it will be in the back
area of Chill’z.
“I’ve been contemplat-
ing bringing food and
beverage for a long time,”
explained Ball. “And try-
ing to find something to
start with that isn’t here,
that hasn’t been here for
a long time. Yogurt hasn’t
been here for 15 to 20 year,
I guess, since Dairy Queen
carried it a long time ago.
I started asking people
‘How would you feel about
having a yogurt shop?’ and
everyone loved it.”
She is still working on
the kitchen in the shop and
she plans to have it com-
pleted next year.
She cycles different
flavors of frozen yogurt,
and will offer a dairy free
option and they are work-
ing on having sugar free
options.
She also has 36 cold or
chilled toppings, and they
offer ten dry toppings now
and have ten more coming.
“We try to compensate
where we don’t have the
extra flavor in our toppings
right now,” explained Ball.
Ball explained that
when they are more es-
tablished, they will have
seating arrangements.
She also has a Relax
2 Zero massage chair
people are able to use—for
15 minutes is $8, for 30
minutes $16, and for 45
minutes $24.
There is also a Lady’s
Lounge, and she plans
to minimize Theresa’s
Treasures into the Lady’s
Lounge, where she of-
fers leggings, tops, bags,
scarves, and other items.
She has a tuxedo lounge,
which they have done for
two years, and they offer
fittings. It’s an all in one
tuxedo shop; they measure,

third cutting. Preparations for the eclipse through

— Log Price Report —
Prices are based on the majority of saw mills in
Northeastern Oregon and Central Idaho. The prices
listed below are a composite prices of various saw-
mills willing to visit with me about this topic.
Ponderosa Pine—small diameter class 8-11 inches
diameter class $250 per mbf. Only one sawmill was
willing to buy small diameter pine at this time.
Ponderosa Pine—medium diameter class 12-17
inches diameter class $300 to $350 per mbf
Ponderosa Pine-large diameter class 18 plus inches
diameter class $380 to $410 per mbf
The Pine prices are still approximately $40 per mbf
below average lumber/log market due to 2017 fire
salvage
Doug Fir & Western Larch—$380 to $420 per
mbf. Normal prices typically ranged between $425
to $475 per mbf.
White Fir-$300 per mbf. Normal prices typically
ranged between $340 to $360 per mbf.
Engelmann Spruce—$350 at one Idaho sawmill,
other sawmills including with White fir prices.
In general, the log prices still impacted from 2015
fire season and fire salvage that resulted. Sawmills
are starting to get log yard inventory in line with
sawmill production needs. With a new Administra-
tion as of 1/20/2017, a more normal economic envi-
ronment should result and hopefully a more healthy
housing situation will result in a better climate for
Northeast Oregon Sawmill and private forest land-
owners.
