Man Arrested on Front Street in Haines
On Feb. 8, 2016 at about 8:39 a.m., Deputy Jeff Spencer and
OSP Trooper Kris Davis contacted Dexter Clark (Date of Birth:
June 1, 1984) on Front Street in Haines regarding probation
violations warrants.
Clark tried concealing his identity but was identified by a
photograph. Once Clark was advised he was being arrested, he
began resisting by pulling away,
kicking and flailing his arms.
Deputy Spencer and Trooper
Davis were able to gain control
of Clark and he was placed on
the ground and handcuffed.
Clark was found to be in pos­
session of several knives and a
machete. Clark was charged
with Felon in Possession of a
restricted weapon, Carrying a
Concealed Weapon, Assaulting
a public safety officer, resisting
arrest and false information to a
police officer. Trooper Davis
and Deputy Spencer received
cuts during the incident.
Clark was not injured and
was lodged in the Baker County
Jail.

Haines Baptist Church Welcomes
New Pastor and Family
Thank you, law enforcement!
Well, my Monday morning
started off pretty exciting. Before
9 a.m., Sheriff deputies, Sheriff
Travis Ash, and State Police
officers took a not-so-gentle-man,
his machete, and another knife
into custody near the doorstep of
the Record-Courier office. The
Baker City man, Dexter Clark,
was wanted on warrants and was
seen coming out of the porta-potty
near the park by officers. He
strongly resisted arrest
Haines Recorder, Valerie Russell,
saw the serious fight ensuing
against die officers and called 911.
Backup arrived shortly after. One
of the officers came into our office
to clean his hand after sustaining
cuts after the incident. The man
was taken into custody and was
not hurt.
This was happening just out of
my line of view at my desk, but I
heard the ruckus and went to the
window to see what was happen­
ing. Needless to say, my eyes got
really wide when I saw what was
happening and especially the size
of the blade on the machete
officers recovered. The "small"
knife wasn't anything to sneeze at,
either. Sheesh.
It was very impressive to watch
the officers handle the situation in
such a calm, professional manner.
We are fortunate to have such
responsive, excellent law enforce­
ment and Sheriff, Travis Ash.
Thank you!
WOW!
Once again, Haines and the
surrounding community showed
tremendous support for our
school, raising well over $11,000
during the annual Chili Feed
fundraiser. This is amazing, espe­
cially considering our tiny size and
less than vital rural economy.
Everyone is always so generous
and gives at an amazing level.
Congratulations.

Hello
there!
Allow me
introduce myself. My
name is Whimzee and my
brother is Sonny Boy. We are looking
for a new forever home. Our owner
recently passed away and we need to find a home
with someone who will take both of us so that we
can stay together. I am a female Shih Tzu/Poodle and I
am 8 1/2 years old. I am totally house trained and use a
doggie door to take care of business. I know my basic com­
mands and a few cute tricks to beg for attention and treats. I
get along with cats and adults. I have not been around too many
young children so can't say how I would do with them. I am
okay with smaller dogs, but am fearful of the big ones. I do like
to sleep in bed with my people and brother. I like to sit up, beg
for treats and yes, I will even talk to you. I am spayed,
vaccinated and weigh about 14 pounds. All of my health records will be avail­
able upon my adoption. We will require a fenced yard for our safety. I need
regular appointments for haircuts at a groomer. If you would like to le
more about us or receive an adoption application, please call Best
Friends of Baker, Inc. or Carmen at 541-519-4530.

sult, their teacher, Mr. Kimball,
"got" to kiss a cute calf brought to
the school by Sam Martin. Kim­
ball was given a brand new tube of
bright red lipstick which he
donned, being a very good sport.
He smooched the calf—on the
lips—as the students chanted, "Kiss
the cow, Kiss the cow!"
Earlier in the afternoon, kind
individuals donated their hair to
Locks of Love. Wendy Bingham
had more than 10 inches cut.
Date of Halibut Feed Changed
Halibut Feed organizers thought
it was a very good idea to move
the Halibut Feed from "Tax Day"
to April 23 since Alan Bingham,
CPA is the one who cooks the de­
licious fish. So...change the date
on your calendars to April 23. Viki
Turner said that it will remain on
the fourth Saturday in April.
Red Hat Ladies at Frontier
On Tuesday, the Red Hat Ladies
enjoyed lunch at the Frontier
Restaurant in Haines. It was a
rather large group and they looked
to be having lots of fun.

Club

and noodles, salad, rolls, and var­
ious other goodies for the lunch­
eon at noon. Afterwards they
played pinochle all afternoon.
First place was won by Eleanor
Blankenship, second was Laura
communities and at one time,
served in a community of only 70.
They love the outdoors, camping,
hiking, biking and exploring.
When moving to Haines, they
were on the route of the Oregon
Trail and took six days to make
the trip, stopping to see many of
the landmarks along the way.
"We are enjoying making
connections and building relation­
ships in the church and within the
community," says Pastor Ben. His
wife, Jenny, agrees.
"We're definitely in the place we
wanted to be and we are happy to
be here," she said.
They also want people to know
they are very approachable, open
and down to earth. Anyone inter­
ested in getting to know them or
learning more about the church is
welcome to call 541-403-4873.
Pastor Ben can also be reached by
emailing pastorben2@gmail.com.
