The woods at the end of Pine Creek Road are humming
with activity this week as 55 Baker County youngsters,
ages 6 to 12, participate in the fi rst expanded Food and
Nutrition Education Day Camp, sponsored by the Baker
County Extension Service.
As in other camps, these youngsters are playing games,
singing songs, and learning crafts, but the day camp has
special purpose. Through activities such as cooking over
an open fi re and singing songs like “Drink, Drink, Drink
Your Milk,” to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” the
youngsters are learning the basic facts about nutritional
needs and the proper foods to fulfi ll them.

The Baker City Golf Board is considering four options
for managing the city-owned golf course, including leasing
the nine-hole course to a private contractor or to a yet-to-
be-formed nonprofi t group composed of local golfers.
The board appointed a seven-person committee to
study ways to manage the public golf course.
Board members discussed the committee’s four options
for the fi rst time Tuesday night. The board will choose one,
perhaps by late August or early September, and present
its recommendation to the City Council, which has fi nal
authority, board chairman Troy Phillips said this morning.

A hailstorm on Saturday afternoon damaged crops in
Baker Valley, but the extent hasn’t been measured.
Jan Kerns, who with her husband, Tim, grows potatoes
on their Rainbow Ranch west of Haines, said they haven’t
surveyed the damage to their crop.
“We had a potato fi eld that got hit pretty hard,” she said.
The storm hit around 4 p.m. on Saturday, Kerns said.
At this point in the potato’s life cycle, hail can strip leaves
from the plants and break the stems. While the actual
potato is safe underground, it needs the leaves and stems
to stay healthy to reach full size.

With Little League baseball and softball and many other
sports being canceled, and schools closed for the spring
term, kids have been left without access to the normal
activities and social interactions during the pandemic.
The Baker County YMCA is trying to address the situa-
tion.
“Recognizing the shortage of healthy and engaging
activities for youth during the COVID-19 emergency, the
Baker County YMCA is working to fi ll that gap while con-
tinuing to provide safe environments and conditions,” the
YMCA said in a press release.
The YMCA is offering a volleyball camp for kids ages 8
to 11 the week of July 20-24, a basketball camp in August,
and fi tness classes for ages 10 and up (yoga, tai chi,
Zumba and cycling).
The YMCA is also opening exercise machines and free
weight stations for ages 15 and up at its Fitness Center.
The YMCA was also giving group swim lessons for
youth, but the spots fi lled.

LUCKY LINES, July 15
Baker City brothers Shane and
Mark Alderson had too much fi shing
and hunting gear to fi t in their two
garages.
Their solution? Start a business.
The Aldersons opened Baboon Creek
Outfi tters on Friday, July 16, just in
time for Miners Jubilee weekend.
“We originally were going to have
this little online shop, just kind of as a
hobby,” Shane said. “We thought, ‘Well,
we’re gonna have to rent a building
cause we don’t even have room to work
on the stuff that we have.’ ”
Between Shane’s recreation back-
ground as a guide in Utah and Mark’s
vast collection of Coleman equipment,
the two started looking for a space to
open their shop right before the CO-
VID-19 restrictions started.
VENDORS
Continued from Page A1
“I fi nally decided to
embrace the chaos in my
life,” said Peters, who lives in
Baker City.
While some vendors have
been attending Miners
Jubilee for decades, others are
making their fi rst visit.
Peter Nguyen has a cell-
phone accessory stand called
P&T Enterprises and he’s
eager to experience his fi rst
event in Baker City. Usually
he does larger festivals, he
said, but this year he decided
to try something new after
the pandemic.
Shelly Cutler, executive
director of the Baker County
Chamber of Commerce,
which puts on Miners Jubi-
lee, said the vendors started
arriving around 7 a.m.
Thursday and would be set-
ting up throughout the day.
A couple of the regular food
vendors sold their carts dur-
ing the COVID-19 lockdown,
but other than that, most

Eva Henes, who lives

Washington, and graduated
