WASHINGTON (UPI) — Wholesale prices increased 0.2
percent in May, according to the Labor Department, indi-
cating a continuing rise in retail prices is ahead.

One of the two ranchers who would be affected by a
proposed ban on domestic sheep grazing on three allot-
ments in the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area may
have found another place to pasture his sheep.
Bob Richmond, supervisor of the Wallowa-Whitman
National Forest, has proposed eliminating two allotments
in Oregon and one in Idaho.

Baker County offi cials will ask Gov. Ted Kulongoski to
declare an emergency in response to fl ooding in the east-
ern part of the county that has partially inundated more
than 30 homes, destroyed two bridges and damaged sec-
tions of more than a dozen roads over the past four days.
“We’re still gathering data,” Mark Bennett, the county’s
emergency manager, said this morning “We feel like
we’ve already met the threshold (for an emergency decla-
ration) for public infrastructure damage.”
No injures have been reported, Bennett said.
ONE YEAR AGO
from the Baker City Herald
June 7, 2019
A remodel began May 20 to change the emergency
department at Saint Alphonsus Medical Center-Baker City.
“It will be better for patient care and privacy,” said Laura
Huggins, director of marketing and communications for
the hospital at 3325 Pocahontas Road.
Prior to this work, the Sunrise Cafe opened toward the
emergency room. Those two spaces will now be sepa-
rated by a wall.
Access to both is still through the door near the
emergency room. A hallway to the right will lead to the
emergency department, which will have a new triage area,
waiting room and bathroom.
The hallway to the left will lead to the cafe area and the
rest of the hospital.
Both will be fully functioning during the remodel, which
is estimated to be fi nished by mid-October.
“Just changes in traffi c patterns,” Huggins said.
Construction will be divided into phases. The fi rst will
focus on the cafe area, including new seating in what
used to be the food service manager’s offi ce.
Phases two and three will focus on the emergency
department.
This major remodel is funded in part by money raised
at the 2018 Festival of Trees — $33,980.

BHS graduation Sunday
Graduates from Baker High School
and Eagle Cap Innovative High School
will receive their diplomas Sunday
afternoon.
The ceremony for the 115 graduates
won’t be traditional, due to the coronavi-
rus pandemic.
Students will gather around 2 p.m. at
the Baker Sports Complex. Graduates
will each ride in a separate vehicle with
members of their immediate family, with
the graduate riding in the front passen-
ger seat. Vehicles will drive through the
bus lane in front of the high school, 2500
E St., where graduates will receive their
diplomas. Once all have been handed
out, graduates will step out of their cars
and move the tassel on their mortar-
board to the opposite side.
Then, starting around 3 p.m., the
graduates in their vehicles will begin a
processional through Baker City (this
is not a parade, and streets will remain
open to traffi c).

O BITUARIES
Randy Joseph
Baker County
Randy Joseph died May
27, 2020, at his Baker County
home, surround-
ed by his family
and caring fi rst
responders.
There will
be a celebra-
Randy
tion of his life
Joseph
involving The
Channel Cats,
pyrotechnics, grassfed beef,
chocolate chip cookies, and
Barley Brown’s beer later this
summer.
At the age of 69, Randy had
exceeded his own estimated
life expectancy. In fact, based
on both his father’s and
grandfather’s deaths at the
age of 58, “The Last Birthday
Party” was held at the old
Mad Matilda’s in October of
2008.
Randy leaves behind a
legacy of woodworking that
is visible all over the United
States in fi ne homes and
businesses, including Baker
City Hall and the new Sweet
Wife Baking building. He will
be remembered most for his
stubbornness, wit, work ethic,
and dedication to improv-
ing his community; all of
which are evident in his 2011
achievement of building one
of the only locally owned wind
farms in the nation. While
some might say that he left a
lot unfi nished, those proj-
ects are outweighed by the
incredible amount of work he
accomplished in his lifetime.
Randy is survived by his
wife of 47 years, Linda; his
three children: Jenny, Loran,
and Wade; and his four
grandchildren: Jack, Annalee,
Miles and Brooke.
Everett Scrivner
Baker City, 1927-2020
Everett Franklin Scrivner,
92, of Baker City, died peace-
fully on June 2, 2020.
Due to COVID-19 restric-
tions, only a graveside service
with military honors take
place Monday, June 8, at 11
a.m. at Mount Hope Cem-
etery.
Everett was born on July
27, 1927, at Wilder, Idaho,
to Vollie and Maude Scriv-
ner. He attended Churchill
Elementary School in Baker
City, Shumway Junior High
in Vancouver, Washington,
and Franklin High School in
Portland, where he gradu-
ated.
Everett served in the Unit-
ed States Navy from 1945 to
1946. He was stationed in San
Diego.
A friend, Betty Wolfe,
introduced Everett to his
lifelong love and companion,
Eva LaVelle Conklin, at the
Eltrym Theater, and they
were married on Oct. 28,
1950, at Baker City. They are
the parents of two children,
Sharon and Rick.
For 40 years, Everett was
the Texaco distributer in
Baker City. To his family
though, he was the guy who
could fi x anything.
Everett loved all sports,
especially baseball. He played
third base for the Baker
Loggers semi-pro team. He
earned the nickname “Dig-
ger” for his fantastic fi elding
abilities. He continued to play
variations of baseball, includ-
ing slow-pitch softball. He was
instrumental in the devel-
opment of the Baker Little
League Baseball program and
the baseball facilities such as
Wade Williams, and Leo Adler
fi elds in Baker City. For 12
years he coached the Dodg-
ers Little League Team and a
Babe Ruth team.
After retirement, Everett
started golfi ng and spent
many happy hours golfi ng
with his family as well as his
good buddy, Pat Guymon.
During his years golfi ng he
made a hole in one three
times.

to anyone who
wanted one. All his grandchil-
dren have “Tweety Birds” and
as they have grown and now
have their own homes they
say “A home is not a home
until a Tweety Bird hangs in
your tree.”
Everett and LaVelle loved
to go camping. They started
with a little trailer, then
had a camper on the back
of their pickup, and fi nally
a fi fth wheel. They camped
many places from Canada to
Lake Mead, but their favorite
places were Phillips Reservoir
and Gary Smith’s cabin.
In June 1976, Everett
became a member of The
Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints and a year
later, on June 23, 1977, he
was sealed to his eternal
companion, Eva LaVelle, for
time and all eternity in the
Oakland Temple. He loved
the Gospel of Jesus Christ
and held many callings where
he served with commitment
and diligence. He and LaVelle
served for many years as
Home Teaching Companions
and served many people in
their ward. They also served
in the Boise Idaho Temple as
Ordinance Workers.
Everett is survived by his
wife, Eva LaVelle; his daugh-
ter, Sharon Vollie Durbin and
her husband, Rick, of Nephi,
Utah; his son, Richard John
Scrivner and his wife, Bar-
bara, of Baker City; his grand-
children, Cristopher Durbin
(Emily), Casey Durbin (Pau-
line), Kandice Taylor (Ryan),
Daniel Scrivner (Crystal),
Mitchell Durbin (Angela), Mi-
chael Durbin, Cassie Brown
(Ben), Drew Scrivner (Suzi),
and Kaitlyn Allen (Jared); 29
great-grandchildren includ-
ing Durbin grandchildren,
Olivia, Ty, Trent, Jadon,
Macie, Piper, Venessa, Mason,
Joslin, Payton, Harlee, Avery,
Jayce, Ryder, and Myles;
Scrivner great-grandchildren:
Chase, Paige, Elyse, Ruby,
Josie, Charlie, Clay, Addyson,
Easton, Paxton, Emsley, Rem-
ington, Sawyer and Vinny.
Everett was preceded in
death by his parents; two
brothers, Ernie and Virgil;
and his sister, Helen Marconi.
Life will never be the same
without him, his family said.
His legacy of perseverance,
love and devotion to family
and enthusiasm for life will
live on in those of us he left
behind.
A special thanks for the
kind service he received from
Settler’s Park and Wetona
Illingsworth.
