2A — BAKER CITY HERALD THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 2020 T URNING B ACK THE P AGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald April 17, 1970 The State Water Resources Board’s proposed program for the use and control of the water resources of the Powder Basin met with mostly agreement at its hearing Wednesday evening in the 5J Administration Building. However, Rollie Rousseau, assistant chief of Basins Investigation for the Oregon State Game Commission, pointed out some defi ciencies that exist in the proposal in regard to stream fl ow protection for fi sh. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 17, 1995 The “Heritage Award” given by the Bureau of Land Management for longtime volunteer service to the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center has been renamed for the late Dr. James R. “Jim” Evans. Dr. Evans, 87, educator, historian, writer, outdoorsman, apiarist, winemaker and volunteer, died Sunday morning in a Boise care center. He had been taken there after suffer- ing an aneurysm at his Baker City home April 6. The award the BLM is renaming in Dr. Evans’ memory has had only one winner, Si Allen, in January of this year. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 16, 2010 The scent of permanent markers fi lled Geiser-Pollman Park Thursday evening as citizens made posters to express their opinions about the Obama administration during a Tea Party rally organized by Americans for Prosperity. The event drew about 300 people — the best attended Tea Party in Eastern Oregon, said Richard Burke, grass- roots director for Americans for Prosperity in Oregon, which sponsored more than 20 rallies across the state Thursday. And the date — April 15, Tax Day — was no coincidence. “April 15 is a date that provides focus on matters con- cerning the government’s role in our lives,” he said. Burke was the featured speaker, taking the microphone after the Pledge of Allegiance, a prayer and the “Star-Span- gled Banner.” ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald April 17, 2019 HAINES — Malina Lichlyter was so engaged with gluing tiny bits of tile that she didn’t want to stop. She devised a plan, which she whispered to fellow Haines fi rst-grader Ayla Kolilis. “Let’s do it in slow-mo,” Malina said, and both girls slowed down their progress to a snail’s pace. But then it was time for recess and the girls left in giggles to go play ninjas. These two weren’t the only ones enchanted with tile — every student at Haines Elementary School helped create a mosaic tile mural to celebrate the school’s 100th birthday. Local artist Andrea Stone spent two weeks at the school working with students on the mosaic. Each grade from preschool to 6 designed a wagon wheel, and students cre- ated those designs as well as the background of moun- tains and sky with multiple colors of tile. The fi nished mural will hang near the school’s entrance in time for the Centennial Celebration planned for May 30.

We all pitched in as a family and had fun with our zoo.” — Melody Hall ZOOS Continued from Page 1A Baxter printed a flyer with details and texted it to friends from her church. She encour- aged participants to make signs describing the animals and display them in a cage (chair, laundry basket or other item). “Then someone posted it on the Baker City Moms group and it just grew,” Baxter said. She made a list and map of the 37 participants. Zoo displays were up for most of the day as people drove by and honked their appreciation. “My son loved it,” Melody Hall said. “We all pitched in as a family and had fun with our zoo.” Hall’s 8-year-old son, Sam, couldn’t wait to see the other displays around town. Lisa Britton /For the Baker City Herald Alex Dyer and her children, Brooke and Luke, created individual “cages” for their stuffed animals in the Zoo Parade. “The community did wonder- ful,” Hall said. “It made our day enjoyable.” Grigg said her three sons also enjoyed driving by the displays. “I was genuinely surprised at how much my boys and I enjoyed it,” she said. “I also felt super proud of our community for participating in something so fun and spontaneous.” Baxter said organizing the Zoo Parade helped put an event on calendars that are largely void of events due to the coro- navirus pandemic. “It gave people something to look forward to,” she said. “Everybody was so creative and unique.” O BITUARY Gary Hack in Germany.
