Another busy weekend in Baker City. Another relatively tranquil weekend for Baker City Police. Which is precisely the result Police Chief Wyn Lohner hoped for both during this weekend's Miners Jubilee, and L ohne r last weekend's Hells Canyon Motorcycle Rally. "I'mvery pleased toreport the same thing two weekends in a row," Lohner said this morning."It shows what can happen when the community works together." Although offtcers from the city department as well as the Baker County Sheriff's Offtce and Oregon State Police stopped dozens of vehicles during Jubilee, the city made only one drunken driving arrest, Lohner said. And Lohner said that person hadn't been drinking at one of the weekend's big events, the beer garden at the Fairgrounds. Lohner said organizers of the beer garden agreed to a listofprotocolsfor thisyear's event designed to"bring down the level of intoxication." The new guidelines seemed tobeeffective.
