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-

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.

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

in Baker and shaped their lives with a
special connection she had with each

her strength and mental toughness.
The last few years she struggled with
