Because Baker policemen decided to enforce an out-
dated city ordinance prohibiting the display of merchan-
dise on city sidewalks, many newspaper racks previously
located in front of local businesses have been removed.
The City Council last night took the fi rst step toward the
amendment of that ordinance.

Two counties and two cities in Northeastern Oregon
recently received economic development grants totaling
$153,500 through the Forest Service.
The grants included $47,000 for Halfway, $46,000 for
Union County, $30,000 for Wallowa County and $25,500
for Enterprise.
Funding was made available through the Forest Ser-
vice’s Economic Recovery Program created by the 1990
Farm Bill.

An historic Forest Service log cabin in the Elkhorn
Mountains is available for rent again after being closed
for two years due to a spring freshet that washed out the
access road.
Peavy Cabin is on the west side of the Elkhorns, about
10 miles southwest of Anthony Lakes and 49 miles from
Baker City.

Sheila Petty is working to bring beauty to Baker City
with her new business, Blue Dahlia.
Petty offers homegrown fl owers, which she began sell-
ing at the Baker City Farmers Market last Wednesday.
She cannot sell from her home property and plans to
have a mobile fl ower truck to travel to markets and ven-
ues to sell her fl owers.
Petty will have a variety of fl owers including lisianthus,
dahlias, roses, lilies, daisies, carnations, sunfl owers, and
others in a range of colors.
Blue Dahlia will have more fl owers next year and Petty
plans to use succession planting, where she plants every
two to three weeks to have a constant supply of blooms.
Petty said she will be working through the winter to
build beds for her fl owers. She has a greenhouse at her
home at 1605 Seventh St. she will utilize for hanging bas-
kets and other fl owers.
“I’ve always loved gardening,” said Petty, 59. “It’s very
therapeutic to me and I just love it. And to then own my
own business obviously has been a dream of mine for a
long, long time.”

cal twin. He graduated from
Baker High School in 1956
and during high school had
worked with his father, Walt,
at Standard Oil Distributors.
After high school, Chuck went
to WSC (Washington State
College) and was in the fi rst
graduating class of the newly
renamed WSU (Washington
State University) in 1960. If
you know Chuck, then you
are aware that WSU is the
best college in the world. He
was a proud Cougar, hanging
the fl ag and always sporting
the clothing, car colors, and
license plate covers. At WSU
he was a member of the Phi
Delta Theta and the ROTC
and went to Fort Lewis.
Chuck was an avid golfer.
His talent in golf lasted his
entire life, for he won and
played in many golf tourna-
ments. Chuck played on the
varsity golf team at Washing-
ton State University for four
years, 1956-1960. He was a
member of the WSU athletes
Grey Club and was captain of
the WSU golf team in 1960.
After college, he played many
pro-ams and tournaments
with one of them that quali-
fi ed him to play golf with Ben
Hogan during an exhibition
event. He spread the love of
golf to everyone and was a
collector of putters and quite
the golf historian in his own
right.
According to his children,
Chuck was a master gar-
dener, getting his passion for
gardening from his mother.
He loved cooking and loved
being outdoors and camping
with his family.
Chuck and Kay were mar-
ried on Aug. 22, 1961, and
they raised three daughters
in Baker. Chuck soon real-
ized the one bathroom in his
house would be overrun with
girls, therefore not having any

1960-1975 with his dad and
his brother, George. He was
the president of the Chamber
of Commerce and during that
time “Paint Your Wagon” was
being fi lmed in 1968 in the
Wallowa Mountains. Chuck
had an opportunity to play
golf with Clint Eastwood and
Lee Marvin during spare
times of the movie fi lming.
In 1975 Chuck bought
Baker Dairies, delivering
milk and dairy products to
homes as well as grocery
stores, having his daughters
be the taste testers for new
ice cream fl avors because he
only liked vanilla.
In 1981, Chuck and Kay
moved their kids (the young-
est begrudgingly) to Spokane,
where he worked as a food
broker for various companies
until he fully retired in 2017
at the age of 79.
Though Chuck had several
relationships following his
wife’s passing, Kay was his
true love and so fi ttingly he
joined her in heaven on her
birthday.
Chuck is survived by his
sister, Joan Staab (Dick);
his three daughters, Kathy
Gildersleeve-Jensen (Jim),
Sheri Gildersleeve, and Deb-
bie Fair (Phillip); his grand-
children, Amanda Fair, Travis
Fair, Brianna Jensen, Chase
Jensen, Abigail Gildersleeve

many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death
by his parents, Walter Gild-
ersleeve and Edith Gilder-

brother, George Gildersleeve.
