The district 5J Budget Board last night approved for
presentation to the voters a 1971-72 school budget, which
is $9,000 less than this year’s budget and will require no
additional money outside the six percent limitation to be
voted by the local public.

A Baker County 911 budget meeting Thursday night
allowed the Haines City Council and other interested par-
ties to learn more about the money allocated to the 911

The Baker City Council has scheduled a special meeting
for next Tuesday to discuss raising sewer rates to pay for
major upgrades in the wastewater treatment system.
Councilors talked about the situation during their regular
meeting Tuesday evening. The most expensive item on
the city’s horizon is an estimated $4.8 million project to
pipe wastewater from the sewage treatment lagoons just
north of town, several miles east to a man-made marsh in
Baldock slough, north of the airport.

They are missing their last year of high school spring
sports.
They are missing senior prom.
They might miss a traditional graduation.
But even with all the cancellations and uncertainty
caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the seniors of Baker
High School might miss, most of all, their last few months
with classmates and friends.
“I miss making memories with those closest to me and
I miss the time we’ve spent together these last four years,”
said Riley Flanagan. “With how things are looking, it
seems we may never get the chance to go back to school
and see these people.”
On April 8, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown closed schools
through the end of the academic year, and schools moved
to distance learning.
The honor students from the BHS class of 2020 —
valedictorians Flanagan, Anthony Cowan, Spencer Smith,
Kale Cassidy and Sam McCauley, and salutatorians Anna
Carter and Laura Illingsworth — shared how they are cop-
ing with this novel situation.
HUNTINGTON — The Bureau of
Land Management’s Vale District is
seeking volunteers to serve as camp hosts
this year at the Spring Recreation Site on
Brownlee Reservoir near Huntington.
