Charles Gordon, C of C Board member on the C of C’s Off- street Parking Committee, told the group that the committee will recommend the City of Baker establish an improvement district in the downtown area at the next city council meeting. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 28, 1995 Baker City can’t use any of the $199,000 federal grant the City Council transferred from the Court Avenue park to the Leo Adler Memorial Parkway to build the park. “That money will be added to the parkway grant, so they city will be able to purchase a bunch more property,” said Tom Carman of the Oregon Department of Transportation offi ce in La Grande. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 28, 2010 Oregon National Guard soldiers from the Baker City Armory will deploy to Iraq this November. The Guard’s 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team, head- quartered in Boise, has been mobilized, according to a press release from the Oregon Military Department. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald April 29, 2019 A treasure trove of Baker County history lies in tidy piles on a table in Gary Dielman’s home, stacks of black- and-white photographs with curling corners betraying their age. But this unique collection of several dozen crisply ren- dered prints, most of them made between 1936 and 1949, constitutes only one chapter of a much longer tale, one that grows more vivid the deeper Dielman digs. Wedged against the wall are fi ve other fruit boxes crammed with photos and negatives and fi lm reels and.... well, as of Tuesday, April 23, Dielman wasn’t sure what those containers might reveal. He had to that point delved into one box and part of another. “I haven’t even opened four boxes,” Dielman, a long- time Baker County historian, said as he began to investi- gate the accumulated collection of photographer Robert N. Gambs, who operated a studio at 2110 Main St. in two stints separated by his service in the U.S. Navy during World War II.

The levy would raise about $735,200 over the fi ve years. The tax rate is 85 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, about $127.50 per year for the owner of a $150,000 property. • Baker City voters will decide on three measures. The fi rst — Measure 1-99 — would authorize the City Council to sell a 1995 back- hoe. The measure is neces- sary because the city charter requires the Council to get permission from voters before selling property that has a market value of more than $10,000. REOPEN Continued from Page 1A On April 20 Brown said she would pursue a gradual approach to easing restric- tions. The governor also said she might revise her execu- tive order sooner for counties and regions with few or no confi rmed cases. Baker County has the biggest population — about 16,800 — of the fi ve counties where as of Monday no resi- dents had tested positive. The four other counties with no confi rmed cases are Gilliam (population 1,990); Harney (7,360); Lake (8,080) The second measure — 1-100 — is directly related to Measure 1-99. Measure 1-100 would change the city charter to eliminate the $10,000 requirement, and instead allow the City Council to sell surplus equipment, regardless of value. The amended section of the city charter would read: “Surplus equipment may be disposed of by a majority vote of the City Council with all proceeds going to the appro- priate City fund to be used for future equipment replace- ment.” The third measure — 1-101 — would change the city charter to eliminate pay for councilors. The current charter calls for councilors to receive $10 per meeting, to a maximum of $150 per year. and Wheeler (1,440). Baker County has tested more people than any of those four counties — Lake, with 67 negative tests, ranks second on that list. Harney County has tested 48 people, Gilliam County 20 people, and Wheeler County 11 people. Staten, from Baker County’s Health Department, said the county received 23 additional test kits this weekend, and has adequate testing capacity based on the current situation. Priscilla Lynn, president of Saint Alphonsus Medi- cal Center-Baker City, said Monday that demand for the curbside coronavirus evalu- ation site at the hospital has been so low — some days either no people or only one person sought evaluation — that the hospital has changed the procedure. Lynn said medical provid- ers continue to recommend people who have symptoms consistent with the virus to drive to the evaluation site on the east side of the hospital at 3325 Pocahontas Road. Once there they should call the phone number posted on signs to summon a nurse for the evaluation. The evaluation site will be open from noon to 4 p.m. today and Wednesday. Start- ing Thursday, the hours will change to 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. People who need to sched- ule an appointment for any other medical issue can call 541-524-8000. Lynn also emphasized that the Saint Alphonsus emer- gency room is fully functional and able to handle emer- gency cases, including those unrelated to the coronavirus. The number of patients coming to the emergency room has dropped during the pandemic, Lynn said. O BITUARY school graduation in 1965.
