Idaho Power Company has affi rmed that it prefers a
route that passes near the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center
for the major transmission line the company wants to
build starting in 2013.
Company offi cials announced Tuesday that they will
submit to the BLM an application that includes the route
running just east of the Interpretive Center.
ONE YEAR AGO
from the Baker City Herald
April 8, 2019
The latest phase in Idaho Power Company’s dozen-year
effort to build a major power transmission line that would
cross parts of Baker County could arrive late this month.
The Oregon Department of Energy, which has been
reviewing the Boise company’s application for the contro-
versial Boardman-to-Hemingway project, could release
a draft proposed order by the end of April, said Jeff Maf-
fucio, Idaho Power’s facility siting coordinator.
The release of the draft order would start a 60-day pub-
lic comment that would include a series of public hear-
ings, one of which would take place in Baker City, likely in
late June.
During those meetings residents could make comments
to Oregon’s Energy Facility Siting Council, the seven-
member group that reviews and issues certifi cates for
major projects such as power lines and pipelines.
Maffucio said the Council would undertake a 6-month
review of the draft proposed order, with a proposed order
possibly being released in late 2019.
He estimated it would take another 12 to 18 months
before the Council could potentially issue Idaho Power a
permit allowing construction of the 300-mile, 500-kilovolt
line. Idaho Power is partnering on the project with the
Bonneville Power Administration and Pacifi Corp.

Akeley, Minnesota, to Hans Christian
Nielsen and Mamie Israelson Nielsen.
She was the middle child of three girls.
This birth position would rankle her
for the next 81 years, because 11 years
later her baby sister, Joyce, would be
born!
Millie was a child of the country. She
loved swimming in Eleventh Crow
Wing Lake and playing with friends
and schoolmates. She graduated from
Akeley high school in 1945 and immedi-
ately took off for the big city.
She went to Kansas City, Missouri,
where she worked for TWA Airlines as a
teletype operator. This is where she met
Gene, fell in love, and they were mar-
ried on Nov. 25, 1950.
For the next 20 years, and through at
least fi ve moves for Gene’s work with
AP Parts Corporation, she would stay
at home and raise her two sons, several
boxer dogs, innumerable cats and neigh-
bor children. Mom had an incredible soft
spot for animals and kids. She continued
to enjoy sports, becoming an avid golfer
and an ardent supporter of her sons’
athletic endeavors.
In 1971 Millie, Gene, and their young-
est son moved to Sparks, Nevada, to
open their own auto parts business. Mil-
lie became the bookkeeper while Gene
managed the front end of the business.
When they sold the business, she went
to work for what would become Wells
Fargo Bank. She remained with them
until she retired to Baker City in 1996.
The next 24 years of her life she spent
being a busy clothes shopper, baker,
grandma, great-grandma, and beloved
aunt. She stayed active in Saint Francis
de Sales Catholic Church, having con-
verted to Catholicism in her youth.
She is survived by her younger sister,
Joyce Schweitzer; her husband, Gene
Wall, and her son, Thomas, of Baker City,
as well as her daughter-in-law, Sherie
Newell Wall; her granddaughters, Ami
Blackstone, and Stephanie Wall, of Va-
caville, California; two great-grandsons,
Tyler and Joshua Blackstone; and her
