Following Ash Grove Cement Company’s recent an-

plant and lay off more than half its workers in mid-De-
cember, state Rep. Cliff Bentz issued a statement Monday
inviting residents to write to Gov. Ted Kulonsoki and
urge him to support an exemption to proposed mercury
emissions rules that could save the Durkee factory from
permanent closure.

Crews from several volunteer fi re districts helped pro-
tect a home and outbuildings after a controlled fi re on a
ranch in Sumpter Valley grew faster than expected.
The fi re was started in a pasture on the Bar C Bar Ranch,
said Steve Meyer of the Oregon Department of Forestry
in Baker City. The fi re began to spread when winds picked
up, but fl ames remained on the ranch property, Meyer
said.
It burned an estimated 35 to 40 acres, Meyer said.
The fi re burned relatively close to several buildings,
but there was no damage, said Wes Morgan, chief of the
Powder River Fire Protection District.
Fire crews left later Sunday as the winds, and the fi re,
died down, Morgan said.
Volunteers from the Greater Bowen Valley, Sumpter,
Baker Rural and North Powder districts also responded to
the blaze.

Swimmers
excel at
Baker meet
Baker City athletes earned several fi rst- and
second-place fi nishes at a regional Special
Olympics swim meet Sunday at Sam-O Swim
Center in Baker City.
The Eastern Oregon regional meet included
16 swimmers from Baker City, La Grande, and
the Pendleton/Hermiston area.
The meet was scheduled for Baker City after
budget cuts forced offi cials to cancel the usual
meet at Mount Hood Community College in
Gresham that pits swimmers from Eastern
Oregon against competitors from the west side.
Results for Baker City swimmers:
• Janet Stout, 1st, 25-yard backstroke, 26:53

This is the fi rst time the
event, offi cially known as
the Leading Knight Fall
Conference/Seminar, has
taken place at the Baker City
Lodge, which was started in
1896, Brinton said.
“We’re very honored that
they came over,” Brinton said
on Friday.
About 200 people, includ-
ing Elks offi cers and their
spouses and guests, gathered
in Baker City for the confer-
ence, Brinton said.
“It was a huge undertaking
and involved a lot of volun-
teer hours,” Brinton said.
“Our members really came
through.”
The Baker lodge applied for
the honor of hosting the fall
conference last winter.
A state committee chose
the site for the event.

Offi cials from 52 Elks lodges across Oregon gathered at the Baker Elks Lodge for a
conference and training seminar Thursday through Saturday.
Brinton said one of Baker’s
draws is that its lodge is
among the larger ones in
Oregon, with the accommoda-
tions for groups of up to 250
people.
Even so, local Elks had
to do considerable prepara-
tion for the three-day event,
Brinton said.

Projects included repaint-
ing the lodge’s social quarters
and remodeling one of the
meeting rooms.
Brinton said the conference
was the biggest single event
the Baker Elks Lodge has
hosted.
She said it was a fi nancial
boon not only for the Baker
Lodge, by way of registra-
tion fees, but also for the
local economy, as the visitors
stayed in local motels and
patronized local businesses.
Although dinners were
served at the Lodge, guests
made their own plans for
breakfasts, Brinton said.
ers over the next month will
consider two options.
One is to try to revise the
fi re station project to reduce
the cost.
The other is to try to fi nd
more money.
The county’s goal is to
have construction start next
spring.
Commissioners are also
still pursuing a lease agree-
ment with Shukrain Invest-
ment Inc. of Vancouver, Brit-
ish Columbia, for exploratory
mining on a section of the
Sumpter Valley dredge tail-
ings that the county owns.
Commissioners could have
a proposal to look at Nov. 6.
