(UPI) — An estimated 750,000 to 800,000 pounds of potatoes were burned Friday in a National Farmers Organization bonfi re the NFO hopes will light the way to higher prices for spuds. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald March 21, 1995 Spokesmen for two environmental groups praise parts of the Baker Ranger District’s fi nal environmental impact statement for the Baker City watershed. But neither Barry Carter of Baker City, a member of the Blue Mountain Environmental Council, nor Tim Lillebo of the Oregon Natural Resources Council, said their organiza- tion would not appeal the document. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald March 22, 2010 Jerry Nichell is optimistic about the landmark healthcare bill the House of Representatives passed Sunday night. But he’s not prepared to make predictions. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald March 22, 2019 The fi rst day of spring started out much like any other day for Jay Wilson. But it would end with a trip to the hospital and a prayer of thanksgiving that although he was sore, no bones were broken and he was going home to his family. Wilson, 43, who with his wife, Kristin, owns Appliances and More, was back on the job Thursday after being blind- sided by a driver who police say was under the infl uence of drugs and alcohol when her Ford Aerostar van rammed Wilson’s pickup truck as he prepared to get into it. Wilson was fi nishing up a service call at Fifth and Campbell streets when he was hit at about 1:25 p.m. Wednesday.

Periodicals Postage Paid at Pendleton, Oregon 97801 BMCC delays spring term, goes mainly online PENDLETON — Blue Mountain Community Col- lege (BMCC) will move all of its spring term courses into a remote format based on the executive order issued late Wednesday by Oregon Gov. Kate Brown. The order prohibits all colleges and universities from conducting in-person classroom, laboratory, or other instruction from March 23 through April 28. Though BMCC decided March 13 to shift the major- ity of its classes to a remote format for spring term, it will now move the remainder of its classes, including most Career-Technical Education (CTE), into this format. BMCC will also delay the start of spring term to give faculty and staff adequate time to prepare for the change. Spring term will now begin on April 6. In addition, BMCC will move to serving students and the community remotely. This means BMCC will provide services exclusively through virtual means and BMCC locations, including its Baker City campus, will be restricted to faculty and staff access only. BMCC is asking students and the public to refrain from coming to campus or any center location during this time, and instead utilize phone calls, email, Zoom and other remote access tools to connect with BMCC employ- ees and services. However, it is important to note that BMCC is not closed during this time. “BMCC remains opera- tional and will continue to serve students and the com- munity through this crisis, just in a new, remote way,” said BMCC President Den- nis Bailey-Fougnier. BMCC recognizes not all students have access to the necessary equipment or Internet ser- vice from home, so it will take advantage of the “essential services” exception in the Governor’s executive order to allow students to access “Zoom Rooms” on campus and in each center location to connect to their courses. The executive order also gives an exception for in-person instruction to Career Technical Education (CTE) programs that are “required for the comple- tion of a health care-related certifi cate, license, or degree, or other certifi cates, licenses, or degrees that are essential to emergency response and resilience efforts, where no remote or online alternative is practicable.” For BMCC, this means the Nursing and Diesel programs will continue in-person for- mats. However, these interac- tions will employ strict social distancing measures.

She was a constant in the lives of her sister, nieces, and nephew growing up in Baker and shaped their lives with a special connection she had with each one. She is the defi nition of determi- nation and grit. Physical challenges presented itself in her adolescence, yet it was never an identifying part of who she was. She awed us with her strength and mental toughness. The last few years she struggled with breathing with a quiet grace.

She had many loving friends and family who regularly helped her, and she treasured that support.

We cry now that she is gone, but the tears will equally fl ow when we see her walking tall, lungs full of breath, and with that sweet smile on her lips, her family said.
