T URNING B ACK THE P AGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 7, 1969 PORTLAND — Hunting pressure was reported light around the state and the buck kill fair the opening weekend of the gen- eral deer season, the State Game Commission said Monday. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald October 7, 1994 U.S. Forest Service law enforcement agents don’t think lightning sparked the 2,420-acre Reed fi re on the Malheur National Forest last month, but they don’t know, and prob- ably never will know, who did. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald October 7, 2009 With logs and other wood products in a depressed trough for both prices and demand, members of the Baker Private Woodlands Association are looking at alternative markets, including some potential lucrative opportunities such as pine-scented essential oils, truffl es and Christmas boughs. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald October 8, 2018 A Baker City business that sells sewing patterns and fabrics has offered to buy land in Baker City’s Elkhorn View Industrial Park. Baker City councilors will consider the offer from Peeka- boo Enterprises LLC during their regular meeting Tuesday at City Hall, 1655 First St. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. The business, owned by Jeremy and Amy Hindman, has offered to buy 1.38 acres in the industrial park at the city’s northwest corner, west of 17th Street and south of Pocahontas Road. The city owns 65 acres in the park. Current businesses in the industrial park include Behlen Manufacturing, Cutters Edge and Powder River Precision. In a proposal to the city, Jeremy Hindman, who grew up in Baker City, wrote that he and his wife moved from Idaho to Baker City in 2016 and rented a 2,000-square-foot warehouse. “We are quickly outgrowing that space and our expan- sion efforts have stalled because of space limitations,” Jeremy Hindman wrote. Ashley McClay, the public information offi cer for the Sheriff’s Offi ce, said a drone operated by the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Offi ce search and rescue team located Den- nis’ body. McClay said searchers later found his body in what they described as a “waterfall, crevice area” on a steep slope above the East Eagle trail. Sheriff Travis Ash de- scribed the location as a chute. It’s shown in the pho- tograph at right. Ash said the photo doesn’t fully depict how severe the terrain is. McClay said it appears that Dennis fell on Sept. 28, the day he arrived in the area to hunt for deer. “We believe that he died the day he went hunting,” McClay said. Sturm said Barney was reunited with Dennis’ wife, Patty, and that the dog, although he has lost some weight, is doing well. Sturm said she “cannot express enough” to thank all the people who participated in the search for her uncle over the past week. On her Facebook page Sturm, who traveled from her home at Ridgefi eld, Wash- ington, to participate in the search, posted: “I watched as men and woman came down that mountain after searching from sun up to sun down, some strangers, a lot of friends and family and Uncle Andy’s brothers along with SAR members. Sitting by the fi re to warm up with tears in their eye they wouldn’t give up. Thank you to each and ev- eryone of you that searched.” The search effort included members from Baker, Union, Umatilla, Wallowa and Harney counties, as well as the Oregon State Police and Baker Aircraft and the Oregon National Guard, the Baker County Sheriff’s Offi ce photo Andy Dennis’ body was found in this extremely steep rock chute above the East Eagle trail. latter two supplying helicop- ters. Many of Dennis’ relatives and friends also participated in the search throughout the week. “We sincerely appreciate the willingness of regional SAR teams, BCSO employ- ees, and friends and family of Andy to drop everything to assist with this search,” Ash said. “It truly shows the amazing spirit of camarade- rie and community support which Baker County, and the entire eastern region of MEGABUCKS, Oct. 5 24 — 25 — 28 — 29 — 32 — 39 Next jackpot: $3.4 million POWERBALL, Oct. 5 6 — 14 — 36 — 51 — 54 PB 4 Next jackpot: $80 million MEGA MILLIONS, Oct. 4 11 — 38 — 44 — 48 — 70 Mega 17 Next jackpot: $55 million WIN FOR LIFE, Oct. 5 16 — 18 — 25 — 43 PICK 4, Oct. 6 • 1 p.m.: 8 — 7 — 0 — 8 • 4 p.m.: 7 — 3 — 2 — 7 • 7 p.m.: 7 — 6 — 5 — 8 • 10 p.m.: 7 — 4 — 5 — 7 LUCKY LINES, Oct. 6 3-5-12-15-19-21-28-31 Next jackpot: $11,000 S ENIOR M ENUS ■ TUESDAY: Pulled pork on a bun, potato salad, corn, fruit cup, sherbet ■ WEDNESDAY: Beef pot roast, parslied red potatoes, mixed vegetables, roll, broccoli-bacon salad, peach cup Public luncheon at the Senior Center, 2810 Cedar St., 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; $4.50 donation (60 and older), $6.75 for those under 60. is very familiar with the East Eagle area, told his wife that he planned to hunt that area on Sept. 28 and return home that day.
