A sold out crowd enjoyed the Chamber Ban­
quet on Saturday at the Sunridge Inn.
All of the winners were outstanding at Saturday night's annual Cham­
ber of Commerce Banquet. The Chamber itself and new executive di­
rector, Shelly Cutler, are to be included on that list. After only a few
days on the job, Cutler pulled off what is considered by many as one of
the best award banquets in several years.
Cutler received rousing applause from the crowd when she was for­
mally introduced by board Chairman, Cheryl Martin, signaling their ex­
citement about a new chapter for the Chamber. Every aspect of the event
was well done from the table decor, to the meal and service by the Sun­
ridge Inn staff, and the introduction of new activities during the evening.
The event was well organized and there was good representation from
much of the county.
People who attended had fun. They were excited to be there and a
positive energy was in the room. The winners of the awards all spoke
of their love of Baker County and are a sample of the selfless volunteer
work done by a substantial group of dedicated community members who
worked quietly under the radar each day to make this a wonderful place
to live.
This is a great start to the New Year for Baker County. I have renewed
my membership to the Baker County Chamber of Commerce and I en­
courage you to consider doing the same.
Great job, Chamber!

Oregon Sheriffs' Association Continues to Stand
with-HarneyCounty Shenff^^iansHsssv

submitted by Brian Wolfe Malheur County Sheriff, OSSA President
Many OSSA member agen­
cies - along with many city po­
lice departments and the
Oregon State Police -- have
sent personnel to help Sheriff
Ward patrol the community and
maintain public safety during
this critical time.
We continue to be asked
when the standoff at the Mal­
heur Wildlife Refuge will end,
and which agency will make
that decision. We'd like to clar-
ify the jurisdictional situation.
The FBI is in charge of mak­
ing and implementing plans to
end the siege. The FBI has ju­
risdiction over the armed
takeover of the federal build­
ings in the refuge, as well as
any crimes committed therein.
Questions about the standoff
should addressed by the FBI,
which continues to work dili­
gently towards a peaceful solu­
tion.
Meanwhile, Sheriff Ward and
other local law enforcement
agencies are directly address­
ing militia activities outside the
wildlife refuge -- including the
well-chronicled
harassment
and intimidation of residents,
federal employees and law en­
forcement by militia members
and associates.
OSSA stands proud in say­
ing that Sheriff Ward has done
a commendable job fulfilling his
oath as Sheriff and defending
his community. Sheriff Ward
has made every effort to
peacefully defuse the situation
and return normalcy to the res­
idents he serves. He has
worked tirelessly with his fellow
law enforcement partners to
develop strategies to protect
and serve Harney County
while the FBI continues its in­
vestigation.
OSSA and its law enforce­
ment partners will continue to
offer support to Sheriff Ward
and his team until this situation
is resolved. We couldn't be
prouder of the work he has
done to serve Harney County
and Oregon.
Am I the cutest
little guy or what?
My name is Jackson
and I am a male Dachs­
hund, perhaps a mix. It was
determined that I am about
months old because I still have all
my tiny "needle" teeth. I am doing very
well living in a foster home with two
adults, one very cute little female Yorkie and
some cats. My foster mom is teaching me about
manners, walking on a leash, first commands
and of course potty training. Even though I am
still a little nervous in my new home, I am
enjoying the attention and all the love. I weigh about 8 pounds right now and
if I am exercised and have a healthy diet, I should not get to be a very big
dog. I will make a great family pet for adults or a family with children. I do
require a secure fenced yard for my safety and exercise. I will have my first
vaccinations and be ready for adoption. I am not neutered, but there will b
an adoption agreement requiring that I be neutered at 6 months. If you
would like to learn more about me or want an adoption application,
please call Best Friends or Carmen at 541-519-4530.
