and “suspected fentanyl,” a

Keys wrote that the rear

yielded a weapon that Morris,

A wayward bird was responsible for a power outage
that affected more than 1,000 customers in Northeast
Baker City and the Keating area early this morning.
The bird got stuck in a power line west of the Oregon
Trail Interpretive Center at 12:15 a.m., causing a fi re that
destroyed a crossarm.

Baker City Councilors aren’t willing to consider a sub-
stantial sewer rate increase to pay for wastewater treat-
ment upgrades — at least for now.
The proposed increase hasn’t been determined, but will
be best described as “modest,” City Manager Mike Kee
and Finance Director Jeanie Dexter said during a special
Council work session Tuesday evening.

Baker County offi cials will ask Gov. Kate Brown to
consider easing business closures and restrictions that
have severely hampered the local economy during the
coronavirus pandemic.
“We’ve been working all weekend on recovery plans,
and our hope is to get it out by the middle of the week,”
Baker County Commissioner Mark Bennett said Monday
morning.
Baker County joined with several other counties, all east
of the Cascades, in sending a letter to Brown on April 13
noting that “our citizens and businesses have followed
your Executive Orders and guidelines” and that “every
business in these areas is considered ‘essential’ to us.”
The next day the governor had a press conference
during which she said that reopening businesses would
happen “gradually, carefully and incrementally.” Brown
did not give a timeline.
The governor issued an executive order March 17 that
banned indoor dining at restaurants, and closed bars.
The other counties whose commissioners signed the
April 13 letter are Deschutes, Grant, Harney, Jefferson,
Klamath, Lake, Union, Wallowa and Wasco. The letter, on
the stationery of the Eastern Oregon Counties Association,
suggested a target date of May 1 for reopening busi-
nesses.

Susan Lynn (Sue) Mc-
Cleary, 71, of Richland, died
April 9, 2021, after a valiant
battle with cancer.

Susan
Sue was born
McCleary
on Jan. 3, 1950,
near the beach
in Torrance, California, with
her parents and two younger
brothers. She was a surfer
girl and the singer in a band
with her girlfriends.
Right after graduating
from South High School Tor-
rance, in 1968, she moved to
Kailua, Hawaii, where she
worked for Qantas Airlines
and enjoyed traveling the
world. She met Frank Mc-
Cleary on the beach in Maui
and they were married in
Honolulu in 1973. They were
drawn to Richland when
they had fi rst visited Frank’s
sister, Bette Doshier, who
lived there. Frank loved the
country life and dreamed of
building his own house and
having a big garden and
orchard. With some convinc-
ing, Sue left her family in
Hawaii and her job in the
airlines so she could raise
her kids in the country. When
she was pregnant with her
daughter Katie she began a
job as a substitute mail car-
rier. Sue continued her career
at the Post Offi ce and became
known as Richland’s cheerful
mail carrier for 37 years until
she retired in 2019.

served as a Sunday School
teacher, a cooking instructor
for 4-H, and served in many
ways at the Nazarene Church.
She won many ribbons at the
