The Kiwanis Club of Chillicothe delivered gifts to fifteen children in the Huntington School District as part of their Ben Segal Christmas Project.
Starting in 1932, each year a dozen or more underprivileged boys and girls from elementary grades of the city and county schools have been entertained by a luncheon and gifts of candy, fruit, toys and clothing presented by Santa Claus. Mr. Segal always presented each child a silver dollar as his gift.
Kiwanian Ben Segal (Chillicothe Businessman) has over the years directed and mostly financed this annual event. Mr. Segal passed away in August 1978 and the annual Christmas party has been recognized as the Ben Segal Children’s Christmas Party sometime after his death to honor his commitment to the children of need.

Baker Countyâs two smallest school districts, Huntington and Burnt River, have for the most part kept their classrooms open to students during the pandemic.
Burnt River Charter School at Unity, about 50 miles southwest of Baker City, continues to offer in-person classes for all students four days per week.
The Huntington School District, on the other hand, has sent middle school and high school students back to comprehensive distance learning after two students and two staff members tested positive for COVID-19 recently.
The Burnt River School District is continuing to teach its 23 students in person Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Superintendent Lou Lyon stated in a press release.
