Chapter AX PEO Offers
Scholarships for 2016
Chapter AX of the P.E.O. Sisterhood will award two academic
scholarships to two graduating senior girls from high schools in
Baker County and North Powder in May 2016.
The Gertrude Fortner-Rose Haskell Scholarship was named for
two charter members of Chapter AX who strongly believed in
higher education for women. • The Mildred F. Rogers Chapter
AX P.E.O. Scholarship was established in 2000 by her daughter
and her grandchildren. Mrs. Rogers was a long time member of
Chapter AX, being initiated in 1951 and holding the office of pres­
ident in 1952. She was a descendant of Oregon Trail pioneer
grandparents and lived her entire life in Baker City. Always a loyal
citizen, she gave of herself to the community of Baker City and
to its people, so that future generations would have the opportu­
nity to appreciate life as she had. She died at the age of 100.
Scholarship applications are available in the guidance office at
high schools in Baker County (Baker, Pine Eagle, Burnt River and
Huntington) and North Powder. Baker High School applicants
must return applications to the high school office by 8 a.m. Feb.
29,2016. Other Baker County and North Powder applicants must
mail applications to arrive by 8 a.m. Feb. 29, 2016 to Dorothy
Mason, PO Box 446 Baker City, OR 97814.
All women students from Baker County or North Powder, who
plan to enroll in an accredited college or university are eligible.
The scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic achieve­
ment, goals, activities, financial need and personal character.
The P.E.O. sisterhood is an international philanthropic educa­
tional organization, which was founded in 1869 at Iowa Wesleyan
College in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. P.E.O. promotes educational op­
portunities for women through a variety of scholarship and grant
opportunities. The P.E.O. sisterhood owns and supports Cottey
College in Nevada, Missouri. Chapter AX was organized in 1932
in Baker City. For further information about the scholarships

We received another foot of
snow this last week. I did great
moving it with my four wheeler
and blade, until the winch broke.
Then it rained! Yesterday while I
was looking at my terrible slush
driveway, Wayne Endersby called
and was just done plowing out one
of my neighbors. He asked, "Do
you need help?" Answered prayer.
So he came by, and got my
driveway plowed out. Today
Roger Gulick will be by to do the
big moving of the slush. Then
with my winch now fixed and an­
other snow storm in our future...I
will be once again, prepared.

Baker I Powder Valley Wrestlers
Compete at Oregon Classic
By Coach Brandon Young
On day one we ended up with Cascade which was the number
5 seed. Our team knows that we have to build a strong lead early
in order to pull off the win and that's exactly what we did as we
took a 31-0 lead before Cascade made a run of their own.
The dual score was Baker 34, Cascade 30 going into the final
match at heavy weight. Will Goodwin needed to hang on for the
team to win and it turned into an exciting match in the final round
as his opponent came after Will but was unable to get the pin.
Goodwin lost by one point, but clung on for the team win 34-33.
Baker also beat Sutherlin 52-28. Then lost to number four seed
Sweet Home 52-24. By taking second in our pod we advanced
to the quarter finals where we faced North Marion the number
three seed. We wrestled well but lost a couple key matches. The
final score was north Marlon 48, Baker 30.
Our last dual we faced Tillamook. This was another great dual
with Tillamook coming out the victor 43-30.

It's beginning to look a lot like
Christmas. Oh wait, we did that
already. This is a nice typical Jan­
uary. Hopefully we will get some
sledding in. Don't see many
snowmen in town. It has been
snowing some each day for about
the last four days. Of course, it's
better here than in Iowa. Spoke to
my sister in law. Minus 11 with
wind chill of minus 30.......... that
is a little too cold for me.
Is it just me or does it irritate
you to go to town early to do your
shopping only to find out nothing
opens until 10 a.m.? Don't they
realize people do shop early in
the day? Open at 8 for Pete's sake.
I can shop and be home by 10
a.m. Well, I guess I can't when
they are not open. Just saying.

ladies tea and bible study meet

munity;. You do not have to at­
tend or belong to the church to
come join us. It is just a ladies
study and share time. And no, it
is not a gossip session, (just
thought I would throw that in as I
know someone will say that). We
have a good time sharing Bible
time, coffee or tea, needs to be
prayed for and just good fellow­
ship.

details to follow.
Red Hats
Red Hats had their luncheon
this last week with 17 ladies pres­
ent. Lunch was at the North Pow­
der Cafe and Truck Stop. It was
wonderful. Several ladies ex­
changed gifts and secret pals for
next year were handed out. Suzie
Michaels ended her year as
Queen. Linda Dixon is new
Queen. Not sure what that means
but probably means lots of work.
Ha. Red Hats next meeting in
Feb. 9 at the Frontier in Haines.
Many ladies wore their red hats
and scarves.
