T URNING B ACK THE P AGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald December 27, 1969 Congressman Al Ullman rang the new bell at Saturday’s dedication ceremony of Anthony Lakes’ ski lodge. The bell is an original from the old Sumpter Railroad which is dedicated to the founders of the area who snowshoed eight miles up the mountain in the 1930s to prove it was worthwhile to develop Anthony Lakes. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald December 27, 1994 Barbara Taylor’s third-grade class at Brooklyn Elemen- tary School has been honored as a regional winner in a reading incentive program. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald December 28, 2009 Gelling fuel, hungry cows, and tractors and trucks that won’t start. Is the new biodiesel fuel blend required for sale in Oregon to blame? Rep. Cliff Bentz, R-Ontario, is working with local ranch- ers, farmers and the Oregon Department of Agriculture to answer that question. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald December 28, 2018 The Oregon Trail Interpretive Center near Baker City re- mains closed due to the partial federal government shut- down, and some other agencies’ offi ces are also closed. The Interpretive Center, about fi ve miles east of Baker City along Highway 86, is operated by the BLM, an agency of the Interior Department. That’s one of the nine federal departments affected by the partial shutdown. Another is the Agriculture Department, which includes the U.S. Forest Service, one of the major federal employ- ers in Baker County. There are about 190 federal workers in Baker County, according to the Oregon Employment Department. The shutdown has a smaller effect on the Interpretive Center than it would during the spring, summer or fall be- cause the Center has been on its reduced winter schedule since Dec. 1. One of the items contained food, some of which had been eaten, and Duman said the intended recipient didn’t want what was left. Police also recovered a pair of shoes, but as of this morn- ing they hadn’t determined who was supposed to receive that package.

Raymond graduated from La Grande High School in 1957, and he joined the U.S Army where he served from 1959 to 1964 as a Private First Class. Raymond met his wife, Liliane, in 1965 while he was working with her father in Rose- burg and they were married later that year on Aug. 14. Raymond and Liliane moved to Baker City in late 1977 where they were able to establish a great life for their family. Raymond worked for the Local 701 Op- erating Engineers Union. He was a part of many large projects and was proud to say, “I built that.” He retired after 40 years of service in the union. During his retirement he enjoyed staying busy by volunteering with the Oregon State Forest Service, maintaining his ranch and traveling with his wife to visit his children and grandchildren. Raymond’s favorite past time was always getting a good deal on things he set his mind to. He is survived by his wife, Liliane Green, and his six children, Ronda McLaughlin (John) of La Grande, Lesli Northup of Boise, Tina Carpen- ter (Jasen) of Marysville California, William Green (Liz) of Portland, Susan Thistlewood (John) of Boise and Avery Green (Trevee) of Portland; 18 grand- children and 15 great-grandchildren; and two sisters, Lois Smith and Bon- ney Bryan. Raymond was preceded in death by his parents, Avery Nuell Green and Edna Dolly Green; his sister, Doris Allen; his granddaughter, Kimberly Christensen; and his great-grandson, Austin Lisk. Raymond will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
