DONORS Continued from Page 1A 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 19, 1970 July 4th and 5th will be the dates of what is popularly known as the biggest “Little rodeo in the Northwest” held at the Stampede grounds in Haines, Oregon, with shows starting at 1:30 p.m. daily. With Queen Victoria Small of Baker and princesses Loretta Williams of Union and Con- nie Nelson of Baker reigning over the event, the rodeo will include bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, amateur team and calf roping and more. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald June 19, 1995 UNITY — About 25 Burnt River School District patrons agreed Friday night to form a community school organi- zation that would work to make the school board more accountable. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald June 18, 2010 Congressman Greg Walden is continuing his push to se- cure federal money to rebuild the fl ood-damaged Wallowa Mountain Loop Road, and to help Baker County farmers and ranchers fi x irrigation networks. In response to a letter and phone calls from Walden, a Republican who represents Eastern Oregon, offi cials from the Federal Highway Administration visited the Loop Road on Thursday with U.S. Forest Service representatives. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald June 19, 2019 It was the only phone call that could have lured Dustin Newman from Baker City. He didn’t expect it. But it happened. The recent call to Newman, Baker City’s police chief for the past year, came from his former boss at the Polk County Sheriff’s Offi ce in Western Oregon. It was a job offer, to run patrol operations for the agency where Newman worked for 14 years before joining the Baker City Police Department in 2014. “I didn’t go looking for a job,” Newman said on Mon- day. Newman said he and his wife, Katie, agreed long ago that the only opportunity that could prompt them to leave Baker City was a return to Polk County. They lived in the county seat, Dallas, a city of about 16,000 people 15 miles west of Salem.

C ONTACT THE H ERALD Those who have an elevated tempera- ture — a common symptom of CO- VID-19 — aren’t allowed to donate. “A lot of things to keep donors really safe and as well as the staff. We’re look- ing out for them as well,” Winter said. The computer glitch that delayed the start of Monday’s drive prevented some of the 110 donors who had signed up from giving blood, as they had work or other commitments. Evans was one of those thwarted. Her appointment was late in the day and the Red Cross staff had to cancel her dona- tion and more than 20 others. But Evans said all the donors were “extremely understanding and patient.” The Red Cross collected 79 units of blood, only one unit short of the goal — a goal that was increased after the successful March drive. “We’ve been getting more and more people all the time, so our goal keeps going up,” Evans said. “We had very few, what they call deferrals, people that couldn’t give for like various medical reasons and we had almost no no-shows, almost everybody on the list came in,” Evans said. She said many people who weren’t able to donate due to the computer prob- lem said they would sign up for the next Baker City drive, scheduled for Sept. 15. Evans said some donors she talked to feel frustrated about the things they TESTING Continued from Page 1A Operating hours are from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Patients will be tested according to the Centers for Disease Control and Preven- tion (CDC) recom- mendations, Huggins said. Based on those recommendations, not everyone who is evalu- ated will be tested for COVID-19, she added. Test results are typi- cally received within three to fi ve business days. A person who is eval- uated at the curbside center, but who does not qualify for testing, will be given guidance for self-quarantining at home if appropriate, and documentation may be provided for employers who are requiring testing. For the safety of those conducting the curbside assessments, people seeking the ser- vice are asked to leave their animals at home when they travel to the site, Huggins said. “It’s just something I can do whether there’s a virus or not, somebody needs to do it.” — Wayne Dyke, Baker City, who has donated blood more than 50 times can’t do to help during the pandemic, so the option of giving blood is attractive. “People have really stepped forward,” she said. “It’s amazing.” The Red Cross usually has fi ve blood drives per year in Baker City. Winter expressed gratitude and “kudos” to Evans for her work in taking over the blood drive from Brooks, who was involved in putting on the events for almost 35 years in Baker City. “(Evans) started converting everybody to the online scheduling system and they sign up, she puts them in the system, she’s just doing amazing things to get donors through the door,” Winter said. Many of the donors who showed up Monday are accustomed to baring a vein in their arm. Addison Johnson, 79, has given 78 units of blood. He served in the military, where he began donating, and is now a “power red,” meaning he can donate 2 units of red blood cells at one event. “I always have. It’s just been part of my lifestyle,” Johnson said of giving blood. Wayne Dyke, 52, has also donated most of his life. He has donated more than 50 times, starting when he was 18. “It’s just something I can do whether Former BCPD officer joins Baker County Sheriff’s Office By Chris Collins ccollins@bakercityherald.com A former Baker City Police lieutenant who retired in May as the La Grande police chief has returned to Baker County to work as one of the Sheriff’s Department’s two Panhandle deputies.

He has a personal motivation as well — both his parents needed blood transfusions during surgeries. Chris Knoll, 47, has also donated for years. He was unable to for a time due to traveling outside of the U.S. but started up again last year. “I started in high school, actually,” Knoll said. “They came to our school and started asking for donations.” Knoll said his employers over the years have always supported him taking time off from work to give blood. Similar to Knoll, Jocelyn Wellman, 18, started donating as a high school student. “I was always terrifi ed of needles, so I needed to get better,” said Wellman, who graduated from Baker High School on June 7. “And then I found out that I have one of the more rare blood types too, so I fi gured why not.” Jocelyn’s donation inspired her mother, Kim Wellman, to donate again. “I donated years ago,” said Kim Well- man, 53. “I haven’t donated for years but then my daughter started donating in high school and I thought, well I’ll get in on that. So, she got me back in on it.” Carmen Stoker, 70, has donated four times while in Baker City and has donated in the past. “I just fi gured somewhere down the line my family or myself might need help and I might be able to help some- body else,” Stoker said. © 2020 Inogen, Inc.
