“Oregon has the Painted Desert and Oregon has a
tainted desert,” said James H. (Smoky) O’Connor, chief
of resource management at the Bureau of Land Manage-
ment. O’Connor is alerting Baker County residents of
the critical need for more properly managed solid waste
disposal dumps in the county.
“Baker has the only sanitary landfi ll in the entire
county,” O’Connor declared. “Haines, Huntington, Halfway
and Richland still operate open dumps.”
25 YEARS AGO

Baker County is competing against fi ve other Eastern
Oregon counties for a 50-bed state juvenile prison.
Harney, Malheur, Umatilla, Wallowa and Grant counties
also want the minimum-security prison.
By Aug. 28 the Oregon Youth Authority will trim the six-
county list, probably to two counties, said Wayne McNan-
nay of the youth authority, which will build the prison.

The Baker City Council voted unanimously Tuesday
night to hire Michael Kee as city manager.
Kee, 52, is a 1976 Baker High School graduate.
He has worked for the Ontario Police Department since
1983, and as its chief since 1998. Kee served as Ontario’s
interim city manager for about seven months in 2008.
ONE YEAR AGO
from the Baker City Herald
August 12, 2019
Megan Langan always wanted to compete in a demoli-
tion derby.
Saturday night at the Baker County Fairgrounds, the
32-year-old Baker City woman fi nally got her chance.
Langan was able to enter the Haines Stampede Demoli-
tion Derby when a family friend let her use a 1986 Ford
LTD.
Every night for two weeks she and her husband, Justin,
worked on the car, welding it to get it ready.
“It’s a great way to get anger out,” Megan Langan said.
The goal of the demolition derby is to be the last car
moving. Drivers crash into other cars in an attempt to get
their opponents’ vehicles to stop working.
There were a few rules that tried to control the chaos in
the two heats and the main event.
Any hit on the driver’s side door (from the back of the
front tire to the front of the back tire) was illegal. The cars
also could not engage in head-to-head collisions.

The signs will be installed at these
intersections:
• 17th and Campbell streets

• Resort Street and Washington
Avenue
The intersections have relatively
high traffi c volumes and a history of
near-collisions, Owen said.
“At these close-call intersections,
we’re trying to do something a little
more noticeable,” she said.
The city put up barricades with signs
at each of the intersections to let people
know the new fl ashing signs would be
installed.
Owen said the city has received one
comment from a resident opposed to
