Snow problem for Easter egg hunt

The seasonality of the Baker area’s economy once
again showed through as unemployment jumped last
month from 930 to 1,050, an increase of 11.8 percent.

Baker City voters will decide May 20 whether or not
to amend the city charter to allow the city to sell certain
industrial properties without voter approval.
The measure, 1-20, is one of two the city has on
the ballot for next month’s special election. The other
measure, 1-19, asks voters to give the city authority to sell
16 acres near the proposed site for nine new holes at the
Baker City Golf Club.

The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest’s plan to ban
motor vehicles from 3,600 miles of roads later this spring
has hit a speed bump of sorts.
And this impediment was thrown up by the very forest
offi cial who unveiled the plan March 15.
Wallowa-Whitman Supervisor Monica Schwalbach
announced Tuesday, by way of a letter, that she was
withdrawing her decision on the widely unpopular Travel
Management Plan.
The vehicle ban was scheduled to take effect in June,
when the forest makes available to the public free maps
showing which roads and trails are open to motor vehicles.

Baker City has installed six security cameras in
Geiser-Pollman Park, the city’s largest park, and six more
cameras in Central Park.
The latter park is beside the Powder River between
Washington and Valley avenues.
The cameras are intended to help prevent vandalism
and other criminal activity in the parks, said Joyce
Bornstedt, the city’s technical administration supervisor
and parks department director.
“They’re pretty amazing,” Bornstedt said of the
cameras. “They’re going to be a really valuable tool
not only for the parks department but for the police
department as well as we’re trying to get a handle on the
unfavorable behaviors and crimes that are happening in
our parks. We’re excited about that.”
City Councilor Johnny Waggoner Sr., who is the
Council’s representative on the city’s parks board,
told councilors during their April 13 meeting that he’s
optimistic that the cameras, and the closer police scrutiny
they make possible, will reduce vandalism to playground
equipment and the Powder River Pavilion in Geiser-
Pollman Park, and other items in the two parks.
“There is an app for the law enforcement to use; they
can monitor those cameras on their phones,” Waggoner
said. “They will be able to go back and see where people
were, who was doing what. Maybe we can not have so
much destruction to the pavilions and carvings on the
picnic tables, and playground equipment torn up.”
