Some Baker County residents received a fl u shot Tuesday
without leaving their cars.
The Baker County Health and Emergency Management
departments conducted an exercise that tested their ability
to distribute medical supplies during a natural disaster or
other emergency.
The event ran from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the former
Oregon Department of Transportation property at 1050 S.
Bridge St., which the county now owns, near Mount Hope
Cemetery.
Residents could drive in to receive a fl u shot as well as a
fi rst-aid kit, water and either a blanket or poncho.
In addition to boosting the county’s fl u vaccination rate,
the event served as a Point of Distribution (POD) exercise
for county offi cials.
PODs are places where residents could go following a
natural disaster to pick up medicine. Tuesday’s exercise was
the fi rst the county has done.
Although the fi rst-aid kits, water and clothing were free,
the fl u shots weren’t. The county did bill insurance compa-
nies, most of which cover annual fl u shots.
Participants could choose to stay in their vehicle while
receiving the inoculation, but they did have to fi ll out forms.

Susan Reagan, the love of his life. They
were married on Sept. 11, 1971, at Bak-
er. They graduated together and moved
back to Halfway where Sue started
her teaching career. Kelly went back to
working with his dad on the family
ranch. He loved the lifestyle and with
his dad, they built up the ranch.
They were blessed with three
children. Casey, Cammie and Jake
made their lives complete. Kelly loved
watching his children grow. He was
an avid sports fan and traveled to
any game or activity his kids were in-
volved in. Kelly was most proud of his
children and their accomplishments.
The family worked together and be-
came the backbone of Rowen Ranch.
Whether working cows, hunting or
just having a wiener roast, everyone
was involved. They all worked or they
all played.
Kelly loved his family, especially his
grandkids. Poppa was their hero. Big
hugs and naps on Poppa were every-
day occurrences.
Kelly told Sue he will be waiting for
her on a park bench in Heaven.
He is survived by his wife, Sue; his
son, Casey (Kim), his daughter, Cam-
mie (Chris), and his son, Jake (Katie);
grandkids include: Kerri, Kadie, Kira,
Bethany, Jackson, Isaiah, Kayleen,
Rowen, Maycee and Jace; his sister,
Gayla (Lexy, Dave, Ryan, Natalie),
and sister-in-law, Sharon (Jim, Amy,
Eric, Dylan, Logan, Katie, Patrick,
Tyler).
He was preceded in death by his
parents, Con and Beth Rowen; and
his brother-in-law, Kerry Macomber.
