BAKER CITY HERALD — 3A THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2020 PROPERTY Continued from Page 1A Hall Adams Gyllenberg Zellars Arriaga Zickgraf Downing Rilee Hatfi eld Gambleton Stampfl ee Zikmund Paulsen Mays Jesenko Eskew Wright Ortiz Cuzick Hellberg Myer Palmer Crum Siddoway Mackenzie Mills Van Arsdall Turner St. Cyr Davis Shaw Blincoe Bott Keller Nudd Baker High School plans a different sort of Homecoming Homecoming, in keeping with celebrations during the era of the coronavirus, will be a different kind of event this year for Baker High School students. While they continue learn- ing through comprehensive distance education classes from home, an abbreviated version of the announcement of BHS Homecoming king and queen will take place be- fore a limited in-person audi- ence Friday night at Bulldog Memorial Stadium. Toni Zikmund, BHS Lead- ership adviser, said student body offi cers, staff members and administrators were consulted in September to help brainstorm ideas about how to make Homecoming special for members of the senior class, despite restric- tions imposed by the Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Department of Education because of the coronavirus pandemic. “It was decided that we would put off doing a usual Pep Night event until around March to see if restrictions change enough to allow such an event,” Zikmund stated in an email to the Herald. But there was still interest in following the tradition of recognizing the Homecoming Court during the fall, Zik- mund said. For that reason, the decision was made to survey the senior class to fi nd out who was interested and who qualifi ed for the court this year. “Because of our unusual circumstances, we put all qualifying members on the court,” she said. Here’s what they came up with to recognize the 36-member Homecoming Court while retaining some semblance of the annual Pep Night events as well: Beginning at 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, members of the court will drive in a procession through Baker City. At 5:45 p.m. they will arrive in con- vertibles at Bulldog Memorial Stadium. And as they have tradition- ally done for many years, the court members will ride around the fi eld while ac- colades of each student are read to the invited guests at the stadium. They next will be escorted onto the fi eld by a parent. Kati Stuchlik, BHS gradua- tion coach, was chosen by the court to present the Home- coming king. As tradition dictates, the king will then present the queen. The court also has elected Aliyah Sells (daughter of Luke and Shaylin Sells) as the fl ower girl and Calvin Zel- Corah Marie Downing, daughter of Zack and Shan- Homecoming non Downing; Catherine Ann- Court Marlene Adams, daughter of Dennis and Judy Adams; Procession Mason James Van Arsdall, Members of the son of Jef and Raeann Van Baker High School Arsdall.

Paige Rylee St. Cyr, daughter To ensure that social of Leticia St. Cyr. distancing requirements are met, the audience is limited to 250 people. Each court member received just four tickets to allow invited guests to attend, Zikmund said. She expressed appreciation for the outpouring of com- munity support that helped make the Homecoming celebration possible. “We want to thank all of the staff volunteers and the convertible owners for really stepping up to celebrate these seniors in a year that is cer- tainly not living up to what they imagined their senior year would be like,” Zikmund said. “There are many people going out of their way to let the seniors know we are thinking of them and doing everything possible to make the year memorable.” In the tradition of past Homecoming weeks — and with this year’s theme of “Would-be Homecoming” week in light of the pandemic — Student Body offi cers also have scheduled a few other special events. The traditional wacky dress-up days have been scheduled through the Zoom computer app on the themes of Monday’s Pajama Day, Tuesday’s Country vs. Coun- try Club Day, Teacher Look- Alike Day on Wednesday and today’s Throwback Thursday. To win prizes, students are encouraged to submit photos of themselves via social me- dia and tag BHS Yearbook or #bhs_yearbookk21 or email Zikmund at toni.zikmund@ bakersd.org A drive-in movie will be shown tonight and the choir is hosting a pre-recorded radio show of student perfor- mances as part of the celebra- tion, Zikmund said. 6WUXW<RXU6WX௺ DWWKH.LZDQLV 75,&.2575($7 6DWXUGD\2FWREHU SPSP 6XQULGJH3DUNLQJ/RW 3DUNLQJLQ%LPDUW3DUNLQJ 6WUHHW 3DUNLQJ %,0$57 6815,'*( 3$5.,1* 68037(5 -81&7,21 0&'21$/'6 75,&. 25 75($7 :$,7,1*/,1( %LUFK6WUHHW Shirtcliff City offi cials have been seeking for the past 3 years to buy the property, according to Warner’s report to councilors. The only current access to the park is on foot or bicycle via the Leo Adler Memorial Parkway, the paved path along the east side of the park, next to the Powder River. The park is between Washington and Valley avenues. The city allocated $60,000 from its Leo Adler Memo- rial Parkway/Park fund for the purchase. A private nonprofi t, Leo Adler Memorial Parkway Inc. has amassed private donations totaling $50,000, and the Leo Adler Foundation has approved a grant of $50,000, contingent on the city having a signed purchase agree- ment for the Sackos property. That leaves a $40,000 shortfall, and in his report, Warner proposes that the city make up the difference with money from the Elkhorn View Industrial Park fund. The city has $253,000 in that fund, from sales of lots in the industrial park in northwest Baker City, to be used for economic and community development. In other business Tuesday, County Commission Chairman Bill Harvey asked councilors to not burden the planning department with more regulations. “These folks in the planning department do a phenomenal job, they are very knowledgeable at what they’re doing but if we overburden them with, in my estimation, extra paperwork that’s not necessary, we slow the whole process down,” said Harvey, who owns a construction company. “One example you might already know, you could have an outright use for a commercial building in commercial property, and there’s a waiting notifi ca- tion notice of 30 days,” Harvey said. “That’s not even commonsensical.” Mayor Loran Joseph said city and county offi cials have discussed the issue and will continue to do so. “I apologize that the industry is hurting but we will look at what policy we can take as a city to improve the conditions,” Joseph said. Harvey said Planning Department offi cials might have ideas on regulations that could be eliminated or streamlined.
