BAKER CITY — The Baker City Farmers Market is moving to Saturday mornings beginning June 7. For several years, the market has been held Thursdays from 4-7 p.m. Megan Foucht, market manager, said discussions started last season about moving to Saturday to draw more people and take advantage of cooler summer mornings. “That time of day, as you get farther in the summer, is just hot,” she said of the Thursday markets. The heat, she said, affected both the vendors, shoppers and offerings.

BAKER CITY — Kara Miller hoisted the jar of sprinkles, but wouldn’t dispense any until the kids could answer a question. To jog their memories about soil layers, she offered a hint — the word also means garbage on the side of the road. “Litter!” came the enthusiastic reply, and the students each held out an edible soil horizon to receive a layer of multi-colored sprinkles. This station was one of five at the annual Field to Fork event at the Baker County Fairgrounds on May 7-8.

When Ken Krohn saw a story about concrete table tennis structures in Canada, he thought it would be a fine project for the Baker City Rotary Club. After all, that story was in The Rotarian, a monthly magazine mailed to every member of Rotary. Krohn is the current club president. He saw the idea several years ago, but it took some time to raise the money. The table, made of concrete and weighing 3,000 pounds, costs $2,800. The shipping is $3,100.

One kick, one stuck cleat, and Baker High junior Meren Jesenko went down on the soccer field. “My foot went one way and my knee went the other,” she said. “I heard a really loud snap.”Her kneecap, she said, popped back into place when she fell, but soon the adrenaline faded, replaced by pain. “I was on the ground for quite a while,” Jesenko said. She was hurt on Oct. 2, 2024. She had surgery two days later to repair her medial patellofemoral ligament, which helps stabilize the kneecap.

BAKER CITY — Peter Antoniou, fresh off several months of shows in Las Vegas, returns to Baker City this month to read your mind.
