Baker High School has received a rating of “fully ap-
proved” by the Northwest Association of Secondary and
Higher schools according to offi cial notifi cation to A.A.
Brown, principal.

Reorganization that has resulted in six layoffs and the
shifting of seven management positions, plus trimming
expenses in other areas, is expected to save St. Elizabeth
Health Services about $900,000 this fi scal year.

The thousands of people anxious to fi nd out whether
motor vehicles will be able to travel on the Wallowa-Whit-
man National Forest will have to wait a while longer than
forest offi cials recently estimated.
Last week Wallowa-Whitman offi cials said Supervisor
Steve Ellis probably would announce his decision on
the forest’s long-awaited Travel Management Plan in late
spring. But on Wednesday Ellis said late summer is now
the more likely time frame.
BTI doing equipment training
at correctional facility in Albany
Baker Technical Institute
started heavy equipment
operator training Monday for
six young women housed at
the Oak Creek Correctional
Facility in Albany.
The training will be pro-
vided through a partnership
with Multnomah Education
Service District (MESD) and
the Oregon Youth Author-
ity (OYA), Doug Dalton, BTI
president, stated in a press
release.
Students attend Three
Lakes and Riverside high
schools at the correctional
facility. They have been ad-
judicated through the state’s
juvenile justice system and
are in the custody of OYA, ac-
cording to the MESD website.
The collaboration with BTI
came about because of the
interest of MESD/OYA lead-
ers in providing students with
career and technical training
that can lead to high-demand
high-wage jobs after they are
released, Dalton said.
“Every chance we get, we
look for medium to high wage
skills our students can learn,”
Joy Koenig, principal of Three
Lakes and Riverside high
schools, stated in the press re-
lease. “This is the right work
to do, and we are thrilled that
BTI is partnering with us.”
BTI will provide about 80
hours of introductory operator
training for the students.
The young women will
work toward earning a cer-
tifi cate of completion showing
their training levels for each
piece of equipment on which
they reach the minimum
operating standards.
“This is the start of what
we see being a long-term re-
lationship with OYA,” Dalton
said in a telephone interview
Thursday. “We are in discus-
sions to fi gure out how to
continue this work to give
students employable skills.”
BTI will be paid $12, 500
to provide the training for the
six students, Dalton said.
A mobile operator training
platform, which is equipped
with the latest technology of
virtual reality CAT simula-
tors, will be used to teach
the students how to operate
heavy construction equipment
such as dozers, graders, wheel
loaders and excavators.

member of the BTI heavy
equipment team, will not only

as a mentor for the students,
Dalton said.
“Being able to take this
training right to their location
and provide these students
with employable skills that
are in demand across the na-
tion is exciting,” Dalton stated
in the press release. “Our
team is thrilled to be a part
of providing these students
with real career-connected
opportunities, through hands-
on learning, that can build a
foundation of skills, confi dence
and a passion for a successful
career.”
OYA was especially excited
that Vanderwiele could dem-
onstrate her success and skills
as a heavy equipment opera-
tor to the young women.
As part of the training,
Vanderwiele also will “guide
the students through the
intangible essential skills that
are key in gaining employ-
ment, retaining positions and
advancing in this fi eld, such
as resume writing, interview-
ing, critical thinking skills
and more,” the press release
stated.

The vacancy in District 60 was the
last in a series prompted by Congress-
man Greg Walden’s decision not to
seek re-election this year. Bentz re-
signed from the state Senate to run for
Walden’s seat, creating the vacancy that
Findley has fi lled, leaving his House
seat vacant.

ONE YEAR AGO
from the Baker City Herald
January 16, 2019
Barley Brown’s in Baker City recently joined about
1,400 other breweries in producing a beer that will help
California residents who lost their homes in the Camp Fire
in November.
The brewers all agreed to make a batch of Resilience
Butte County Proud IPA.
The fundraiser was started by Sierra Nevada, a brewery
started in Chico, California, near the Camp Fire, which
scorched 153,000 acres and destroyed thousands of
homes in and near the city of Paradise.
Sierra Nevada invited every brewery in the U.S. to
participate in the fundraiser. Nearly 25 percent of the
country’s breweries — including approximately 60 in Or-
egon, including Side A Brewing in La Grande — agreed to
make the beer and donate money from sales to the Camp
Fire Relief Fund.
wiele, who grew up in a family
of heavy equipment opera-
tors, became the fi rst female
instructor in the nation to be
trained on CAT simulators.
She uses the simulators along
with the real equipment to
provide training as she travels
throughout the Northwest as
part of the BTI heavy equip-
ment team.
“I love to teach, but it is
extra special when I get a
chance to teach other females
about the profession,” she
stated in the press release.
“Oftentimes all they need is
the exposure to a career they
did not know about, and given
a start on the right path.”
Dalton said the BTI heavy
equipment team has other
trainings scheduled locally
and throughout the North-
west for most of the next year.
The traveling team members
next will provide a four-week
training in Seattle and then
a two-month training in Spo-
kane, he said.
For more information about
the heavy equipment opera-
tor school at BTI or to enroll
in one of the various other
programs, go to bakerti.org or
