50 YEARS AGO

The Baker High School gymnasium was literally packed
to the rafters yesterday evening, more than 2,800 persons
gathered to hear the United States Army Field Band of
Washington, D.C. The “Kings of the Highway,” as the band
is known, arrived in Baker yesterday and performed at the
high school in the afternoon.

The Baker Ranger District is planning a timber sale south
and west of Phillips Reservoir that would include about
seven million board feet of trees.
That makes the sale, called Rusty Bull, among the larg-
est on the district in the 1990s.

April 29, 2011
Baker got its bats going early Thursday against Fruitland,
and went on to top the Grizzlies 6-1 in a non-league softball
game at the Baker Sports Complex.
The Class 4A top-ranked Bulldogs (14-1) banged out
three hits in both the fi rst and second innings on the way
to plating six runs and a 6-0 lead.
ONE YEAR AGO
from the Baker City Herald
April 30, 2020
The Baker City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to
table a proposed resolution that would have given pay
raises to seven city employees.
Mayor Loran Joseph and Councilor Randy Schiewe
were at City Hall, while the fi ve other councilors partici-
pated remotely via Zoom.
Councilors expressed concern about approving the
salary raises to some nonunion employees when it’s not
clear how much revenue the city will lose due to the coro-
navirus pandemic.
“I think absolutely all the budgetary stuff needs to be
tabled until after the state revenue forecast on May 20th,”
Councilor Doni Bruland said. “Because up until that point,
we have no idea how much we’re losing.”
Oregon’s economist will release a state revenue fore-
cast on May 20.
The city receives money from several state sources,
including gas, cigarette and liquor taxes.
“I would really hate to put this raise in this year, I think
it’s something we should look at a year from now when
we’re healthier,” Councilor Lynette Perry said.
Councilor Arvid Andersen agreed.
“I think we need to tap on the brakes and table this
request at this time,” Andersen said.

their stories of remem-
brance at Sally’s home in a
celebration of life open house on June 26
from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at 404 Depot St. in
Enterprise.
Sally was born on Feb. 5, 1938, at Spo-
kane, Washington. She graduated from
Bothell High School, received her mas-
ter’s degree in Engineering from Wash-
ington State University, and worked in
Boeing’s Engineering and Illustration
Departments before serving in the
United States Navy during the Korean
War. Throughout her life, Sally wore
many a hat — artist, illustrator, barrel
racer, rodeo queen, engineer, nurse,
carpenter, interior decorator, gardener,
seamstress, inspirational speaker,
business entrepreneur, culinary
experimenter, and tea party extraordi-
naire, but her favorite titles were wife,
mother, Gigi (Gorgeous Grandmother),
aunt, sister, friend, and hostess.
Anyone who knew Sally described
her as creative, energetic, talented, and
a “real go-getter.” She had one goal in
life, to be a blessing to others and not a
burden. To her friends and family she
was therapist, adviser, how-to guru,
and cheerleader. Given any dark
cloud, Sally could fi nd a rainbow. She
was fond of saying, “And this too shall
pass.” Her legacy of hope and opti-
mism will live on in the hearts and
minds of everyone who knew her.
Those she’ll meet in Heaven in-
clude her parents, Claude and Alice
Touchette, and her loving husband,
Wolfgang Moser.
Sally is survived by four children,

Camplejohn and his wife, Kang Hwa,

rise Murray of Joseph, and Candra
Campbell and her husband, Michael,
of Marble, North Carolina; 25 grand-
children and 13 great-grandchildren;
her brother, William Touchette and his
wife, Rae, of Bainbridge Island, Wash-
ington; her nephew, Cory Touchette; and
her dearest friend, Sally Hewitt of Baker
City.
