The action is necessary to protect Rocky Mountain big- horn sheep from a deadly virus they can acquire through nose-to-nose contact with domestic sheep that also graze in the canyon, according to the groups. A recent epidemic of the pasteurella virus, which biolo- gists suspect may have originated with a domestic goat found near the bighorns, has killed about 70 sheep from a herd in Southeastern Washington several miles north of the NRA. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald January 12, 2011 The Baker City Council started the new year Tuesday night with Councilor Beverly Calder calling for kindness, tolerance and caring after a year of sometimes bitter con- fl ict among the council members. At the close of the nearly two-hour session, Dennis Dor- rah, having been re-elected by his colleagues to a second two-year term, echoed Calder’s comments. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald January 13, 2020 A Baker City man charged with multiple allegations of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl is in custody in the Baker County Jail. Bill David Gonyer, 73, was returned to Baker City on Wednesday and was arraigned Thursday in Baker County Circuit Court, said District Attorney Greg Baxter. Gonyer was arrested Dec. 28 at the Boise Veterans Ad- ministration Hospital and was held in jail in Idaho before being returned to Baker County last week. The crimes allegedly took place in Baker County be- tween May 1, 2019, and Dec. 20, 2019. The child victim is known to Gonyer. He is accused of 20 separate charges, including rape, sexual abuse, sodomy, unlawful sexual penetration and using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct.

A celebration of her life will occur in the summer. Elaine was born on Sept. 11, 1931, on the family’s ranch in Wingville to a family who were early homesteaders in Baker County. She grew up on the fam- ily ranch outside of Hereford and gradu- ated from Hereford School in 1950. Elaine lived most of her life in Eastern Oregon. She loved the natural world and passed this love to her family. They inherited her passion for collecting rocks, driftwood, shells, and other items found in forests, high des- ert and on the beach. She introduced grand- Anna children to the John Day Fossil Beds, sparking their Dalgliesh interests in nature and the Earth’s natural history. Elaine loved ani- mals and recognized pets as members of the family. When she fi rst moved to Baker City, she cared for the feral cats from the once vacant lot next to her property. She also inadvertently fed the deer from her garden and enjoyed their company while gardening. She was an avid gardener with both fl ower and vegetable gardens. She was planning her next garden just days before she died. Elaine worked in mills in Mount Ver- non and John Day from the late 1970s through the 1990s. She is survived by her son, Steve Dalgliesh of White Bird, Idaho; daugh- ter, Susie (Mike) Rebman of Midvale, Idaho; daughter, Joyce Thompson of Baker City; eight grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren and three great- great-grandchildren. She will also be missed by her brothers, Wayne Morin of Hereford, John (Roberta) Morin of Her- eford and Arnie Morin of La Grande; her sister, Darlene Jenkins (Jerry) of Vale; and her friend, Jim Lowe of Hereford. She was preceded in death by her father, Vernell Morin, and mother, Velma Boyer Morin; daughter, Rita Rae Dalgliesh; daughter, Rhonda Dalgliesh; sister, Mildred Winward; and sister-in- law, Donna Morin. In her memory, the family suggests donations to Best Friends of Baker City or, as she had hoped to do in the spring, plant fl owers and fruit trees. Vickie Stevenson Baker City, 1947-2021 Vickie Lee Hodges Stevenson “GAM,” 73, of Baker City died Jan. 2, 2021, sur- rounded by her loving family. A private family memorial is sched- uled for a later date. Vickie was born in Lewiston, Idaho, on Aug. 11, 1947, to Wallace and June Hodges. She spent her younger years at Farmington, Washington. She enjoyed telling her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren stories of her life on the farm, with her earliest memory being that of her stand- ing on her horse “Old Peg” and picking apples out of the apple tree. A few of her favorite childhood activi- ties were riding her horse and playing with her pet lamb. Vickie grew up with her three siblings, Alvin, Byron, and Sharon. Stories of early sib- ling rivalries evolved into strong family bonds that Vickie she deeply cherished. Stevenson Vickie graduated from Oaksdale High School in 1965. Vickie met her fi rst husband, James Robinson, while in her senior year of school, marrying him shortly after. That marriage ended when the children were young, providing a path for her to meet the love of her life, Allen Stevenson. Allen and Vickie met in 1973, and an instant family was born. They were married in Winnemucca, Nevada, on June 22, 1978, and spent their honey- moon doing what they loved, catfi shing. Their total of 47 years together provided a loving home and gathering spot for their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, leading to many wonderful memories that will be cherished by all. Vickie obtained a Business Degree from Central Oregon Community College (CCOC) in Bend. Her working career included day care provider, loan offi cer, real estate agent, and mortgage loan offi cer. She enjoyed the relationships she formed with her clients and co-workers. Vickie was one of the fi rst women to join the Baker City Lions Club and was honored to have the opportunity to serve as secretary and president for an organization that meant so much to her. Unfortunately, her declining health over the last few years kept her from participating in Lions events. Vickie is survived by her husband, Allen Stevenson Jr. of Baker City; Her daughters, Kim (Pete) Nelson of Baker City, Kerri Robinson (Curtis Tatlock) of Baker City and Kristi (James) Shoman of Benton City, Washington; grandchildren, Lindsey Mawhinney (Red), Taylor Nelson, Brady Nelson, Landon Nelson, Anthony Simmons (Christina), Trever Simmons, Taber Baldwin, Dillon Baldwin, Jake Morris, Harley Salinas (Andres), Emily Tatlock, Sam Tatlock and Caistyn Brooks; 12 great-grandchildren; brother, Byron Hodges (Gloria); sister, Sharon Frye (Rob); mother-in-law, Phyllis Stevenson; sister-in-law, Linda Wolf; brother-in-law, Gary Stevenson; and several nieces and nephews. Vickie was preceded in death by her parents, Wallace and June; brother, Alvin; son, Craig Robinson; grandson, Joshua Nelson; great-grandson, Morgan Mawhinney; and father-in-law, Dean Stevenson.

They raised seven children — fi ve daughters and two sons. Agnes had many passions, especially dancing to polka music with her sweet- heart. She loved painting ceramic orna- ments for all her children and grandchil- dren. All the neighbors and kids loved her for her baked goods. She enjoyed sharing her homemade cinnamon rolls and dough- nuts. They all considered it a very special treat. She passed on all the old German family recipes that we all love and enjoy, her family said. Gardening was one of her favorite things to do in the summer. She loved growing her vegetables and canning them so her family could enjoy them all through the winter months. Fall months she would plant all the fl ower seeds in fl ower beds and wait for the surprise in the spring. Sewing and embroidery was a hobby she liked to do. She created many hand- made quilts and blankets for all her grandkids to cuddle with. The love of raising her seven children along with many other children she baby-sat had a special place in her heart. Spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren was a highlight in her life. Summer months she would love the outdoors, camping and fi shing.
