T URNING B ACK THE P AGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald February 8, 1970 NORTH POWDER — The St. Francis Leopards took an early lead and pulled away to a 68-44 victory over the Powder Valley Badgers here Saturday night. Ron Hendrickson was high pointer for the Leopards with fi ve from the fi eld and fi ve free throws for 15 points. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald February 8, 1995 Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative spent almost $1 million to extend power lines for new customers in 1994, about 30 percent more than in 1992. The power company expects to spend about $1 million more this year as requests for electricity grow by another 1.8 percent. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald February 8, 2010 Barley Brown’s Brew Pub’s Tumble Off pale ale was picked as one of the 25 best new beers in America in the latest issue of Maxim magazine. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald February 8, 2019 Baker County’s state representative contends that a bill intended to reduce Oregon’s carbon emissions could have the opposite effect globally and also threaten one of the county’s largest private employers. Rep. Lynn Findley, a Republican from Vale, said during a fl oor speech at the Capitol on Jan. 31 that House Bill 2020, the carbon “cap and trade” bill, could have what he de- scribed in a press release as “unintended consequences.” Among those is the potential to make Ash Grove Ce- ment, which operates a plant near Durkee, about 27 miles southeast of Baker City, less competitive against Chinese cement makers. Ash Grove employs about 115 people at the Durkee plant with an annual payroll of $13 million, ac- cording to the company, which is based in Overland Park, Kansas.
