Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt was in Baker City this
morning and he needed to make a phone call.
Naturally he went to the Oregon Trail Interpretive
Center.
Babbitt, whose department manages the center, has
visited it before. Apparently he is suffi ciently familiar
with the building that he knows where the employees’
entrance is.
He walked through the door and asked if anyone was
in the offi ce.

Firefi ghters worked in temperatures of nearly 100
degrees to contain a fi re that destroyed a home on Eagle
Creek Road north of Richland Friday morning.
Firefi ghters were called to the home of Dave and Lynda
Toffl emire at 10:25 a.m. Most of the couple’s belongings also
were destroyed in the fi re, said Dave Kingsbury, Eagle Valley
Rural Fire District chief.
ONE YEAR AGO

August 29, 2020
A committee appointed by the Baker City Council has
awarded almost $67,000 in federal COVID-19 aid to several
local organizations.
The Baker City Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) Commit-
tee had its fi rst meeting Wednesday evening at City Hall.
The Committee heard presentations from nine groups
and awarded money to eight of them.
The fi ve members of the Committee are City Councilor
Doni Bruland; Robin Nudd, the city’s human resources
and community development director; Chris Knoll,
manager of Umpqua Bank’s Baker City branch; Andrew
Bryan, a member of the Baker 5J School Board; and Dave
Hunsaker, a Baker City resident.
The city has received $292,000 from the federal CARES
Act, which Congress passed in late March.
The city has to spend the money by Dec. 31.
Wednesday’s fi rst presentation was by Joe Hayes of
Community Connection of Baker County, which operates
the Baker City Senior Center, Meals on Wheels, the Baker
City Trolley and several other services.
The Baker City Council in late July voted to award Com-
munity Connection $50,000 from the city’s share. But the
Council rescinded that decision after deciding to form the
Committee and ask groups to make presentations.
The City Council has allocated $75,000 to the Commit-
tee thus far.
On Wednesday Hayes requested $10,000 to help resi-
dents pay for utilities, groceries and other necessities. The
Committee granted the full amount.

“It’s fun to see the little kids run up
and throw the money on there, and then
turn around and salute the fl ag,” she said.
Erickson said the Baker lodge will
donate the $1,215.50 to the Oregon Elks
Association Veterans Programs, which
supports a variety of projects, including
the Veterans Home in The Dalles and the
Divide Camp in Enterprise.
Erickson said she and other Baker
Elks members appreciate the “wonderful
citizens” who donated, and they hope to
repeat the feat in future parades.
