Planting a tree
in La Grande
Continued from A1
One of the earliest pioneers
to the area, James Baker, hap-
pened across the treeless plain
and began planting in the mid-
19th century. The Baker black
locust tree at Eastern Oregon
University is one of the surviv-
ing trees that he planted during
his stay. The tree stood above
the grave of Baker’s wife, Eliz-
abeth. Trees that tell a story
are one criteria for earning the
honor, according to the Heri-
tage Tree Committee’s website.
Gustafson said the black lo-
cust may be the oldest planted
tree in La Grande at 136 years
old.
In contrast, the newest leg-
acy tree planted in La Grande
came at last year’s Arbor Day
celebration — a Hiroshima
Peace tree planted from the
seeds of trees that survived the
nuclear bombing in 1945. Ore-
gon holds the largest collection
of such trees, and La Grande
has two of them. The newest
peace tree is in the greenway at
Riverside Park.
Among other notable trees
is a massive silver maple along
Washington Avenue and Fir
Street. August Stange, the
man who once owned Stange
Manor on Walnut Street,
planted the tree, which now
The city of La Grande will
provide a tree to plant in the
right-of-way for just $40, and
the city’s Grow La Grande
volunteers will plant it for
residents.

The Baker black locust tree stands
about 180 feet tall outside Hunt
Hall at Eastern Oregon University
in La Grande and is possibly the
oldest tree planted in town.
sits outside La Grande’s First
Presbyterian Church.
Another set of noteworthy
trees is a known as Victory
Way, Norwegian maple trees
planted in 1923 along Spruce
Street, near Greenwood Ele-
mentary School, in celebration
of the end of World War I.
Originally, there were nearly
250 trees, though construction
and road widening over the
years have reduced their num-
bers to just under two dozen.
Possibly the most photo-
graphed tree in the area lies
outside of La Grande along
Wallowa Lake Highway north
of the city. There, motorists
often stop and view the lone
maple tree standing in a field
in front of the Blue Moun-
tains.
Travelers pull off to the side
of the road lining up a shot
of the massive tree as sun sets
behind it. Local homebuilder
Stacey Bowman of Mega Tiny
Homes said it is one of his fa-
vorites.
Gustafson said she hopes the
city will have a fully interactive
tree inventory for horticultur-
ists and hobbyists to peruse —
a way to see what trees are in
the area, their species names,
and possibly even their history
in an ArcGIS map. She said she
is trying to complete the proj-
ect by next Arbor Day.
SAN DIEGO — Three peo-
ple were killed and more than
two dozen others were hos-
pitalized Sunday after a boat
capsized and broke apart in
rough water just off the San
Diego coast during a sus-
pected human smuggling op-
eration, authorities said.
Lifeguards, the U.S. Coast
Guard and other agencies
responded around 10 a.m.
following reports of an over-
turned vessel in the waves near
the rugged peninsula of Point
Loma, according to the San
Diego Fire-Rescue Depart-
ment.
The original call was for a
handful of people overboard
but as rescuers arrived in boats
and jet skis they quickly real-
ized “it was going to be a big-
ger situation with more peo-
ple,” said San Diego Lifeguard
Services Lt. Rick Romero.
“There are people in the wa-
ter, drowning, getting sucked
out the rip current there,” he
said.
Seven people were pulled
from the waves, including
three who drowned, said
Romero. One person was res-
cued from a cliff and 22 others
managed to make it to shore
on their own, he said.
“Once we arrived on scene,
the boat had basically been
broken apart,” Romero said.
“Conditions were pretty
rough: 5 to 6 feet of surf,
windy, cold.”
A total of 27 people were
transported to hospitals with
“a wide variety of injuries” in-
cluding hypothermia, Romero
said. Most of the victims were
able to walk themselves to am-
bulances, he said.
Officials said the group was
overcrowded on a 40-foot
cabin cruiser that is larger
than the typical open-top
wooden panga-style boats of-
ten used by smugglers to bring
people illegally into the U.S.
from Mexico.
“Every indication from our
perspective was this was a
smuggling vessel. We haven’t
confirmed their nationality,”
said Jeff Stephenson, a super-
vising agent with U.S. Border
Patrol.
Border Patrol on Friday
said law enforcement officials
would be ramping up oper-
ations to disrupt maritime
smuggling off the coast of San
Diego this weekend.
As warmer weather
comes to San Diego, there is
a misperception that it will
make illegal crossings safer
or easier, the agency said in a
statement.
