Natural Structures Awards Cash Prizes to Science Fair Winners
This was the first year the
Baker Middle School Science
Fair had a sponsor. Natural
Structure owners, Ted and
Jodie Hausotter, enjoyed the
event so much last year that
they not only donated supplies,
but also served as judges for
this year's competition. They
also generously donated cash
prizes to the top three winners.
According to Nicole Sullivan,
Middle School science teacher,
students could choose to enter
two types of Science Fair Proj
ects: either a scientific inquiry
project or an original Invention.
With a scientific inquiry proj
ect, students have a question
and go through the scientific
method to explore possible an
swers to that question. For the
invention projects, students had
to research patents to make
sure their invention was original
in design and then proceed
through the engineering and
design process to create their
invention.
"Our entire science depart
ment was impressed with the
variety of projects this year, and
the level of work that went into
creating them. We have a very
creative group of students here
at Baker Middle School and
couldn't be prouder of them,"
said Sullivan.
"They (the Hausotter's) could
not stop complimenting the
students on their projects, and
were such a delight to have
here supporting science at
BMS," Sullivan said.

Women Who Mind
Their Own Business
Who says a woman doesn't know how to mind her own business?
Okay, sometimes we don't, but at Thursday night's Women's Celebration, women throughout
Baker County were honored at the AAUW event held at Community Connection for being
entrepreneurs and business owners. Emcee and AAUW Chairman, Dixie Driggers spoke of
the important and positive impact women who own businesses in Baker County make to the
local economy.
Betty Kuhl, now in her 90s. started Betty's Books in Baker City, and was specially honored
at the event.
Driggers said, "Betty Kuhl is one of the many well known and well loved women in the area
who took it upon herself to start and maintain a thriving business. Betty and her bookstore are
an example that anyone considering going in to business can look up to, and emulate."
"A long time member of AAUW, Betty faithfully supported the annual book sale that our local
branch held every year for many years. Somehow, watching all of those books come through
the sale and find new homes inspired her. So on March 29,1979, at the age of 55, she opened
a bookstore, Betty's Books," Driggers shared.
In 1988, Betty's daughter,
Carolyn began working in the
store. In 1994, she and her
husband
Tom,
purchased
Betty's Books and currently run
it together. Carolyn shared with
Driggers that her favorite part
about the business is matching
the right book with the right per
son.
