UNITY — Members of the Baker County Chamber of
Commerce were quizzed on the progress being made on the
off-street parking project in Baker at the meeting between the
C of C members and Unity residents.
Charles Gordon, C of C Board member on the C of C’s Off-
street Parking Committee, told the group that the committee
will recommend the City of Baker establish an improvement
district in the downtown area at the next city council meeting.

Baker City can’t use any of the $199,000 federal grant the
City Council transferred from the Court Avenue park to the
Leo Adler Memorial Parkway to build the park.
“That money will be added to the parkway grant, so they
city will be able to purchase a bunch more property,” said
Tom Carman of the Oregon Department of Transportation
offi ce in La Grande.

Oregon National Guard soldiers from the Baker City
Armory will deploy to Iraq this November.
The Guard’s 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team, head-
quartered in Boise, has been mobilized, according to a press
release from the Oregon Military Department.

A treasure trove of Baker County history lies in tidy
piles on a table in Gary Dielman’s home, stacks of black-
and-white photographs with curling corners betraying
their age.
But this unique collection of several dozen crisply ren-
dered prints, most of them made between 1936 and 1949,
constitutes only one chapter of a much longer tale, one
that grows more vivid the deeper Dielman digs.
Wedged against the wall are fi ve other fruit boxes
crammed with photos and negatives and fi lm reels and....
well, as of Tuesday, April 23, Dielman wasn’t sure what
those containers might reveal.
He had to that point delved into one box and part of
another.
“I haven’t even opened four boxes,” Dielman, a long-
time Baker County historian, said as he began to investi-
gate the accumulated collection of photographer Robert
N. Gambs, who operated a studio at 2110 Main St. in two
stints separated by his service in the U.S. Navy during
World War II.

Matt Hutchinson, the vec-
tor district’s manager, said
he’s optimistic that voters will
continue to support the anti-
mosquito efforts.
“I’m confi dent that people
recognize the value of the
program,” Hutchinson said
Monday. “We think it’s worth
every penny, and we feel the
voters think so too.”
Also on the ballot
• Voters in the Pine Eagle
Health District in eastern
Baker County will consider
a measure to renew the local
option levy to operate the Pine
Eagle Clinic in Halfway for
fi ve more years.
The levy would raise about
$735,200 over the fi ve years.
The tax rate is 85 cents per
$1,000 of assessed value,
about $127.50 per year for the
owner of a $150,000 property.
• Baker City voters will
decide on three measures.
The fi rst — Measure 1-99
— would authorize the City
Council to sell a 1995 back-
hoe. The measure is neces-
sary because the city charter
requires the Council to get
permission from voters before
selling property that has a
market value of more than
$10,000.
REOPEN

On April 20 Brown said
she would pursue a gradual
approach to easing restric-
tions. The governor also said
she might revise her execu-
tive order sooner for counties
and regions with few or no
confi rmed cases.
Baker County has the
biggest population — about
16,800 — of the fi ve counties
where as of Monday no resi-
dents had tested positive.
The four other counties
with no confi rmed cases are
Gilliam (population 1,990);
Harney (7,360); Lake (8,080)
The second measure —
1-100 — is directly related to
Measure 1-99. Measure 1-100
would change the city charter
to eliminate the $10,000
requirement, and instead
allow the City Council to sell
surplus equipment, regardless
of value. The amended section
of the city charter would read:
“Surplus equipment may be
disposed of by a majority vote
of the City Council with all
proceeds going to the appro-
priate City fund to be used
for future equipment replace-
ment.”
The third measure —
1-101 — would change the
city charter to eliminate pay
for councilors. The current
charter calls for councilors to
receive $10 per meeting, to a
maximum of $150 per year.
and Wheeler (1,440).
Baker County has tested
more people than any of
those four counties — Lake,
with 67 negative tests, ranks
second on that list. Harney
County has tested 48 people,
Gilliam County 20 people,
and Wheeler County 11
people.
Staten, from Baker
County’s Health Department,
said the county received
23 additional test kits this
weekend, and has adequate
testing capacity based on the
current situation.
Priscilla Lynn, president
of Saint Alphonsus Medi-
cal Center-Baker City, said
Monday that demand for the
curbside coronavirus evalu-
ation site at the hospital has
been so low — some days
either no people or only one
person sought evaluation —
that the hospital has changed
the procedure.
Lynn said medical provid-
ers continue to recommend
people who have symptoms
consistent with the virus to
drive to the evaluation site on
the east side of the hospital
at 3325 Pocahontas Road.
Once there they should call
the phone number posted on
signs to summon a nurse for
the evaluation.
The evaluation site will
be open from noon to 4 p.m.
today and Wednesday. Start-
ing Thursday, the hours will
change to 8 a.m. to noon
and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on
weekdays.
People who need to sched-
ule an appointment for any
other medical issue can call
541-524-8000.
Lynn also emphasized that
the Saint Alphonsus emer-
gency room is fully functional
and able to handle emer-
gency cases, including those
unrelated to the coronavirus.
The number of patients
coming to the emergency
room has dropped during the
pandemic, Lynn said.
