T URNING B ACK THE P AGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 7, 1970 HALFWAY — The Pine-Eagle Spartans downed Weston on both ends of a doubleheader here Friday. The Spartans won the fi rst game 7-4 and the second 9-6. Garry Holloway was the winning pitcher in the fi rst encounter, striking out four batters and walking three. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 7, 1995 Identifi cation found in a shallow grave containing the re- mains of a human body is that of Kendra Dee Maurmann, age 42. Sheriff Terry Speelman released the name today with a plea for anyone who knew the woman and had contact with her to call the sheriff’s department. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 7, 2010 Idaho Power Company has affi rmed that it prefers a route that passes near the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center for the major transmission line the company wants to build starting in 2013. Company offi cials announced Tuesday that they will submit to the BLM an application that includes the route running just east of the Interpretive Center. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald April 8, 2019 The latest phase in Idaho Power Company’s dozen-year effort to build a major power transmission line that would cross parts of Baker County could arrive late this month. The Oregon Department of Energy, which has been reviewing the Boise company’s application for the contro- versial Boardman-to-Hemingway project, could release a draft proposed order by the end of April, said Jeff Maf- fucio, Idaho Power’s facility siting coordinator. The release of the draft order would start a 60-day pub- lic comment that would include a series of public hear- ings, one of which would take place in Baker City, likely in late June. During those meetings residents could make comments to Oregon’s Energy Facility Siting Council, the seven- member group that reviews and issues certifi cates for major projects such as power lines and pipelines. Maffucio said the Council would undertake a 6-month review of the draft proposed order, with a proposed order possibly being released in late 2019. He estimated it would take another 12 to 18 months before the Council could potentially issue Idaho Power a permit allowing construction of the 300-mile, 500-kilovolt line. Idaho Power is partnering on the project with the Bonneville Power Administration and Pacifi Corp.
