Smith Says He Shared Name with OSP
By Gina Perkins
Jason Smith, who was
mentioned in a Jan. 28, 2016
piece appearing in the Record-
Courier called, "Sheriff Latest to
be Badgered at Commission
Meeting," says that he did share
the name of the person who
provided the private Facebook
message exchange between
the individual(s) impersonating
Gary Dielman online and former
5J School Board member, Mark
Henderson, with the Oregon
State Police investigator.
"I asked the OSP officer if a
crime had been committed. His
answer was, "maybe." At that
time, I contacted the party
whom I suspected sent me the
exchange with Henderson and
informed them of the investiga
tion. After receiving confirmation
that this was the party who sent

me the communication (speak
ing of online impostors), I
received permission from them
to inform OSP of their identity. I
then forwarded this information
to OSP," stated Smith who later
added, "I did hesitate to say for
a number of reasons, but mostly
because I was not even positive
who it was that actually sent it to
me to begin with. I needed to
verify it."
District Attorney Matt Shirtcliff
has stated, "We will go back and
check the reports."
Smith had written in an Op-Ed
appearing some time ago in
another newspaper that he
informed OSP he could not help
them any further. He did not
include that he had provided the
name to OSP in that Op-Ed.
"Logically,
the
purported
screen shot could have went
through any number of online
sources before I received it,"
Smith added.
The Record-Courier stated in
the Jan. 28 article that, "Only the
impersonator
could
have
shared this with Smith" and
wishes to clarify the message
could have been distributed by
other means and individuals
who were not the impersonator.
Private messages exchanged
on Facebook (just like a mailed
letter) are initially known only to
the sender and recipient unless
and until someone else gains
access to the information.
Henderson stated that for a
time prior to knowing the individ
ual with whom he had been
communicating was an impos
tor, he thought perhaps some
one had gained access to his
computer.The
Facebook
message between the impostor
and Henderson contained state
ments about Smith.
There is no evidence to
suggest that Smith had any
involvement of the online imper
sonation of local historian and
outspoken
citizen,
Gary
Dielman.
The Facebook impersonation
of Dielman came to light during
the time of the last local primary
election.
Henderson
had
unknowingly been communicat
ing with the impostor for months
and perhaps for more than a
year. Henderson has since
relocated with his family from
Baker County.

Obituaries
Wilbur Cecil King
Sept. 1926 - Feb. 2016
Wilbur Cecil King, 89, a long-time resident of
Baker City, died Feb. 2, 2016, at Ashley Manor
from complications after a series of strokes.
Arrangements are being made through Gray’s J
West & Co. Pioneer Chapel.
Wilbur was bom on Sent. 12. 1926. in Here-
ford, Oregon to William and Beatrice (Van Cleave) King. He lived with
his family on the King Ranch in Audrey, Oregon and attended the Big
Flat and Hereford schools until moving to Aumsville, Oregon. After
graduating high school in Aumsville and briefly working as a logger,
he returned to Baker City.
In 1952, he married the love of his life, Doris Jean Myers. “’Til death
do us part," was never a more, true or fulfilled promise. They were in
separable until Doris’ death in 2014.
Wilbur thrived in the mountains. If a man’s wealth is counted in the
quantity of huckleberries he possessed, he was a very rich man. He was
an avid hunter, fisherman, mushroom picker, and reveled in camping
and picnicking. He shared the joy of the outdoors with his family and
untold hours were spent teaching the grandkids how to fish. His fishing
buddies, George and Bill, took him fishing until he no longer could go
with them. Some of his last thoughts were of fishing and the hope that
Doris would know where all the good fishing holes were when they
were reunited.
He worked many years as the debarker operator at Ellingson’s Lumber
Co. and spent weekends mining in a hard-rock mine in Greenhorn.
After retirement, he volunteered hundreds of hours at the Oregon Trail
Interpretive Center.
Wilbur is very loved by his family and friends and will be greatly
missed. He was always quick with a smile and a hug.
His last few months were spent in the exceptional care of the loving
caregivers of Ashley Manor. They deserve appreciation that words can
not express.
Survivors include his only child Doni Bruland and her husband Craig,
grandchildren Ben Clair and his wife Nancy, Alice Clair, step-grandson
Shan Bruland, two great-granddaughters, a brother and two sisters, and
many brothers and sisters in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Doris, his father and
mother William and Beatrice King, parents’ in-law Ray and Alice
Myers, and many other family members and friends.
Memorial contributions may be made to the American Stroke Asso
ciation through Gray’s West & Co. Pioneer Chapel, 1500 Dewey Ave.
Baker City, OR 97814.
