Skyline Construction Company, contractors for St.
Elizabeth Community Hospital, will complete work on the
project within the next three weeks.
This week, crews of plumbers, electricians, carpenters,
painters and men black-topping the entrance way are
working on the new hospital.
The building and adjoining eight-bedroom convent was
designed by Travers and Johnson, Portland architects.
County offi cials also
plan to renovate the New
Directions building.
Commission Chair-
man Bill Harvey said he
plans to do the work with
his own tools, assisted
by his son. As a result,
Harvey abstained from
the discussion involving
the renovations. He read
from the Oregon Govern-
ment Ethics Law: “A pub-
lic body can hire a rela-
tive of a public offi cial,
but a public offi cial may
not be involved in the
hiring process. A public
offi cial may not directly
supervise a relative un-
less the body authorizes
that supervision.”
Harvey’s son would
be paid $35 an hour. The
renovation would be
less than $5,000, so the
county wouldn’t need to
solicit bids.

The City Council interviewed two applicants Wednesday
for the soon-to-be-vacant city manager job, and both are
familiar with Baker City.
And one is intimately so — he’s had the job before.
That’s Jerry Gillham.
He was hired as Baker City manager in October 2003,
and he started work that November.
ONE YEAR AGO
from the Baker City Herald
August 7, 2019
Evie Davis sits on a bale of hay looking through a book
for the name of a specifi c breed of chicken. Behind her at
the Baker County Fairgrounds are rows of chickens, some
of them fowl that Davis, 12, has raised and will show at
the Baker County Fair.
Davis, from Oxbow at the eastern edge of Baker
County, said she has always liked animals.
Her parents allowed her to start showing animals at
both the Baker County Fair and Fair in Halfway, when she
was 8.
“It’s probably my favorite thing I’ve ever done,” Davis
said.
This year, her fourth showing at the Baker County Fair,
Davis is joined by her siblings: Grace 15, Reid 14, Peter 10,
Gideon 9, Colin 7, and Abby 5.
Altogether, the family members are showing 13 chick-
ens, four sheep, three rabbits, and two pigeons.
Evie also had two new chicks with one of her chickens
to show.
“I’ve done the best with chickens,” she said.
The family raises several breeds of chickens including
australorp, brown and white leghorn, sagitta, partridge
cochin, braham, blue cochin, and others. They keep their
chickens for eggs and do not butcher them.
Besides the fowl, Davis will be showing a breeding ewe
and a market lamb this week.
“I mainly show the same thing so I get better at it, but
this year I’m showing pigeons which is a new thing,” Evie
said.
Evie grew up around animals and has raised sheep for
six years, and chickens for six to seven years.

25 YEARS AGO
from the Baker City Herald
August 7, 1995
The Oregon Board of Agriculture toured several Baker
Valley ranches Thursday afternoon as part of a two-day
meeting in Baker City.
Local rancher Gus Markgraf arranged the tour, which
started with an overview of Baker Valley from the Lone
Tree marker on Highway 86 near the Oregon Trail Interpre-
tive Center.
County’s case
total rises to 36
Nichols will temporarily
act as supervisor for the
project.
Harvey said he had
asked Dan McQuisten,
the county’s facilities
supervisor, if the county
had anyone available to
do the work but it did
not.
Nichols and Bennett
decided to table the
matter until Nichols and
McQuisten can meet to
talk about the scope of
the renovation project.
Formerly of Baker City, 1927-2019
E. Kay Munsell, 92, formerly of Baker
City and La Grande, died Dec. 23, 2019,
at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Merid-
ian, Idaho.
Due to the COVID-19
restrictions, services
were cancelled. A private
interment took place at
Grandview Cemetery in
La Grande, where she
Kay
was laid to rest with her
Munsell
husband, Roy.
Kay was born on Feb.
13, 1927, at Intake, Montana, to Earnest
and Hazel Sutton. She married Don Mc-
Clain and had three children: Mike, Ken
and Peggy.
On April 10, 1965, Kay married Roy
Munsell and added to her family Luci
and Becky.
Kay, at one time, was secretary for
the Forest Service until she remar-
ried, then she was the bookkeeper for
Munsell Logging. When she and Roy
retired from logging, they purchased a
farm at Adrian, where they raised cows
and sheep and grew hay and corn crops,
as well as a large garden. They enjoyed
traveling in their 5th wheel to many
states and countries.
Kay loved to quilt. It was her passion
to bless all of her family with their own
quilt. All those who have one, cherish
all of her heart and soul that went into
making it.
Kay is survived by her sister, Marie
Downing; her sisters-in-law, Helen
Sutton and Velda Sutton of Amboy,
Washington; her children, Mike Mc-
Clain (Rollean) of Nyssa, Ken McClain

A special thanks to all the caregivers
at Edgewood Assisted Living at Fruit-

compassion they gave her for the past
fi ve years of her life.

Charles Allen
Formerly of Baker City, 1958-2020
Charles Delbert Allen, 61, formerly
of Baker City, died on July 1, 2020, at
Ketchikan, Alaska.
A celebration of his life will take place
at a future date at Ketchikan.
Charlie was born on Nov. 15, 1958,
at Baker City. Charlie
grew up in Baker City on
his family owned Sun-
nyslope Ranch, which
was described as a huge
playground for him and his
Charles
siblings. Upon selling the
Allen
ranch, his family opened
Allen Appliances in Baker
City. Charlie dedicated many hours at
the appliance store, working closely
with his grandfather, Conrad, whom
he loved and respected. It was in those
early years that he acquired his strong
work ethic. He attended, and graduated
from, Baker High School in 1977. Athlet-
ics were an important part of his high
school years where he participated in
varsity basketball and football.
After graduating from high school, he
attended Oregon State University. He
met his wife Beckie (Stoker) Allen in
Baker City, and they were married on
Aug. 9, 1985. They lived in Baker City
when Charlie began his career in equip-
ment working for Britton Equipment
and New Holland.
Charlie moved his family to Ket-
chikan in February 1989 and became
the fi rst employee of Tyler Rental.
Ketchikan became their new home, and
the place where Charlie and Beckie
raised their two children. He loved the
Ketchikan community and Alaska.
Charlie devoted his life to the visions
of Tyler Rental, and all of the employees
who worked there. He loved and cared
about each and every employee as fam-
ily. He especially respected, and had an
undeniable strong working relationship
with Randy Johnson, whom he thought
of as a brother. He continued on with
Tyler Rental for over 30 years, and was
very proud of all of their accomplish-
ments.
Charlie was a kind, generous, compas-
sionate, loving husband, father, grandfa-
ther, son and brother. He had a wonder-
ful sense of humor and the ability to
lighten any situation that would always
make everyone in his presence smile. He
loved spending time with his daughter,
Janae, taking her fi shing or hiking but
not just in Alaska — they would climb
any trail or mountain near or far.
During the last few years of his life
he found joy in working out at the gym.
This became a priority in his life because
it was time spent every day with his
son, Chas, who he thought of as his best
friend. Charlie was passionate about all
sports, especially basketball, baseball
and football, and loved supporting the
youth of Ketchikan. He treasured going
out on his boat with his wife for a relax-
ing weekend, and enjoyed sitting out at
night with a glass of wine watching the
stars.
Charlie will be missed by all who
knew and loved him.
Charlie is survived by his wife of 35
years, Beckie Allen; his children, Janae
(Cody) Holland, Chas (Kalea) Allen and
grandson, Toshko Holland; his mother,
Jeanie Wright; his stepmother, Sandra
Allen; his siblings, John (Kathy) Allen III,
Cathy (Bill) Treadway, and Cindy (Wes)
Morgan; his nieces and nephews, Jessica
(Andrew) Neilson, Kati (Mike) Crouch,
Jim (Michelle) Kauffman, Lauren
(Sebastian) Rodriquez, Karissa Everson,
and Jason (Kara) Morgan; and numer-
ous great-nieces and great-nephews,
cousins, aunts and uncles.
Charlie was preceded in death by his
father, John Conrad Allen II; his grandfa-
thers, John Conrad Allen Sr. and Charles
Cox; and his grandmothers, Madeline
Allen and Elizabeth Cox.
Donations can be made in memory of
Charlie Allen to:
