With logs and other wood products in a depressed trough
for both prices and demand, members of the Baker Private
Woodlands Association are looking at alternative markets,
including some potential lucrative opportunities such as
pine-scented essential oils, truffl es and Christmas boughs.

A Baker City business that sells sewing patterns and
fabrics has offered to buy land in Baker City’s Elkhorn View
Industrial Park.
Baker City councilors will consider the offer from Peeka-
boo Enterprises LLC during their regular meeting Tuesday
at City Hall, 1655 First St. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.
The business, owned by Jeremy and Amy Hindman,
has offered to buy 1.38 acres in the industrial park at the
city’s northwest corner, west of 17th Street and south of
Pocahontas Road.
The city owns 65 acres in the park. Current businesses in
the industrial park include Behlen Manufacturing, Cutters
Edge and Powder River Precision.
In a proposal to the city, Jeremy Hindman, who grew
up in Baker City, wrote that he and his wife moved from
Idaho to Baker City in 2016 and rented a 2,000-square-foot
warehouse.
“We are quickly outgrowing that space and our expan-
sion efforts have stalled because of space limitations,”
Jeremy Hindman wrote.
Ashley McClay, the public
information offi cer for the
Sheriff’s Offi ce, said a drone
operated by the Umatilla
County Sheriff’s Offi ce search
and rescue team located Den-
nis’ body.
McClay said searchers
later found his body in what
they described as a “waterfall,
crevice area” on a steep slope
above the East Eagle trail.
Sheriff Travis Ash de-
scribed the location as a
chute. It’s shown in the pho-
tograph at right. Ash said the
photo doesn’t fully depict how
severe the terrain is.
McClay said it appears that
Dennis fell on Sept. 28, the
day he arrived in the area to
hunt for deer.
“We believe that he died
the day he went hunting,”
McClay said.
Sturm said Barney was
reunited with Dennis’ wife,
Patty, and that the dog,
although he has lost some
weight, is doing well.
Sturm said she “cannot
express enough” to thank all
the people who participated
in the search for her uncle
over the past week.
On her Facebook page
Sturm, who traveled from her
home at Ridgefi eld, Wash-
ington, to participate in the
search, posted: “I watched
as men and woman came
down that mountain after
searching from sun up to sun
down, some strangers, a lot of
friends and family and Uncle
Andy’s brothers along with
SAR members. Sitting by the
fi re to warm up with tears in
their eye they wouldn’t give
up. Thank you to each and ev-
eryone of you that searched.”
The search effort included
members from Baker, Union,
Umatilla, Wallowa and
Harney counties, as well
as the Oregon State Police
and Baker Aircraft and the
Oregon National Guard, the

Many of Dennis’ relatives
and friends also participated
in the search throughout the
week.
“We sincerely appreciate
the willingness of regional
SAR teams, BCSO employ-
ees, and friends and family
of Andy to drop everything
to assist with this search,”
Ash said. “It truly shows the
amazing spirit of camarade-
