The Recall Is Over!
To The Record-Courier:
Now that the recall is over—with Dorrah and Calder surviving—it’s time for all of us to grow up and move on. There are more important things to worry about than the childish actions of a few.
We need to work on bringing some big business to Baker City, which will put a lot of people to work—not just a few. It’s time to bring Baker City and Baker County into the 21st Century instead of going backwards.
With the recall being a waste of time and money (they were only doing their jobs), a few friends and I feel that those who wanted the recall in the first place should pay that money back.

Thanks For The Laughs!
To The Record-Courier:
I haven't finished this week's paper yet, but my sides are already aching from laughing so hard. I just had to let you know how much I am enjoying all the joke articles. So far my favorite is "Journalist Arrested for Writing Crimes." They are hilarious! Guess I'll have to go to Old Pine Market and buy a copy for myself to read thoroughly and share at home.
Thank you for the laughs, especially on a gray winter day!

Appreciate Support For Bootsma Fund
To The Record-Courier:
We want to commend Samantha Fritz, Lasa Baxter, Blake Jones, Eastern Oregon Medical Associates, Baker Valley Physical Therapy Powder Valley and the communities of Baker, Powder Valley and Cove for their support of the Billie Ruth Bootsma Fund. Young Ms. Fritz brought the crowd to tears as she shared the importance of screening mammograms and the story of her beloved teacher affected by breast cancer.
This past year, the support for the Billie Ruth Bootsma Fund has been phenomenal. In addition to the success of Samantha Fritz’s fundraising efforts, we extend our gratitude to Matthew Clark and Brian Olson of Clark and Company Home, artists Amy Martin Freidman and Don Gray, the photography models who shared their lives with us, Barbara Jeans, Adiva, Bulldog Senior Class President Wesley Anderson, Terry Boetcher, Beverly Calder, Addison Collard, Sycamore Tree and members of the St. Elizabeth Health Care Foundation. Many hands have helped many women in our community. In the past four months we have raised enough money to provide mammogram assistance to 20 local women.
We simply couldn’t provide these essential services without the outstanding show of support from our community. Well done everyone!
