Music enhances Farmers Market

To the editor:

Chamber music in Baker City is alive and well.

As I perused Farmers Market at Geiser-Pollman Park on Saturday, I was greeted with strains of music in the air, as a group of instrumentalists entertained shoppers.

The musicians placed their music stands directly on the grass and provided an open air  presentation.

Strings vibrated from a cello played by Pam Gale Murphy. Music was brought forth by violinists Jane Stuessy, Annie Cahill, and Roxanna Swann. Guitar accompaniment was presented by Kelly Cahill.

What a pleasant background these volunteer musicians provided. The Saturday event was enhanced by their performance. Thank you!

You can put that vase right back

To the editor:

Whoever took the vase out of my mother’s (Emma Bodewig) tombstone in Baker City cemetery, I’ll thank them to put it back in the exact same spot they took it from.
