Bentz 20-year-old transported to Blue Mountain Hospital Blue Mountain Eagle Vale’s former city man- ager has been selected to fill former Rep. Cliff Bentz’s seat in the Oregon House of Representatives. Lynn Findley, who worked for the Bureau of Land Man- agement before the city of Vale, was chosen Jan. 25 in Ontario by county commis- sioners from the five counties in House District 60: Grant, Baker, Malheur, Harney and Blue Mountain Eagle A Mt. Vernon woman was injured in an all-terrain vehicle rollover accident Jan. 24. Jaiden R. Kerr, 20, rode over a steep incline when her Honda ATV flipped and pinned her underneath, Grant County Sheriff Glenn Palmer said in a statement. She was transported to Blue Mountain Hospital for injuries sustained in the rollover. Kerr called to report she crashed her ATV on Blue Gulch at about 10:10 a.m. and said she was trapped under the ATV and unable to free her- self. Palmer said Kerr was dis- oriented and had trouble giving her exact location, but emer- gency responders located the site of the crash in a ravine be- tween Grant County Regional Airport and Grant Union Ju- nior-Senior High School. At about that time, Kerr was able to crawl out from under the ATV, he said. Kerr was taken out on a Lake. Grant County Judge Scott Myers said the vote was unani- mous. Findley Sen. Cliff was selected Bentz from a pool of three candidates nominat- ed by Republican precinct committee persons from the counties. Myers said Dennis Hall of Vale and Tom Van Diepen of Baker City were also nominated. Bentz of Ontario was se- lected in a similar process to fill the state Senate seat vacated by former Sen. Ted Ferrioli, who was appointed to the Northwest Power Plan- ning & Conservation Coun- cil. Bentz was sworn in as a senator Jan. 8. It has not been announced when Findley will be sworn in as a representative. The short, 35-day legislative ses- sion begins Feb. 5.
