• Baker City's one-year moratorium on opening of medical marijuana dispensaries ends May 1, 2015
e
Baker City Police Chief Wyn Lohner wants the City Council to resume its discussion about ways the city could ban medical marijuana dispensaries. Councilors will convene Tuesday at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 1655 First St. In April the City Council approved a one-year moratorium prohibiting medical marijuana stores from opening in the city. That ban ends May 1, 2015. "In order to ensure Marijuana Dispensaries do not open in our community, further council action is needed," Lohner wrote in a reporttocouncilors. Options include an outright ban on such businesses, or a business license ordinance to effectively prohibit them so long as marijuana remains illegal under federal law. Lohner suggests councilors schedule a specialmeeting to discuss thematter,or appoint a committee to come up with recommendations.

A hailstorm, most generally, qualifies as a nuisance. Combine it with a classic car show, though, and you've got a potential nightmare. Fortunately the dark clouds that amassed over Baker City on Friday night, the first day of the 24th-annual Memory Cruise, slunk away without dropping anything dangerous over an estimated 175 vintage automobiles that gathered in Baker City. In the storm's wake was a sunny Saturday, and one of the larger turnouts in the show's history, said Wayne Ryder, one of the organizers. "I think it was very successful," Ryder said this morning. ewe had about 20 more cars than last year. This was right up there with our biggest attendance ever." Ryder said about 175 cars attended, and many of those participated not only in the show-and-shine Saturday morning and afternoon at Geiser-
