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

Patients will be

Centers for Disease
Control and Preven-

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

For the safety of
those conducting the

people seeking the ser-

“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.

there’s a virus or not, somebody needs it,”
Dyke said.
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.
