T URNING B ACK THE P AGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald May 1, 1970 HALFWAY — One school district in the county, Pine-Eagle School District No. 61, is asking for a smaller operating bud- get but it still needs to be approved by the registered voters in the district on Monday. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald May 1, 1995 Baker Sanitary Service now accepts mixed plastic bottles and mixed paper at its recycling center at 12th and Campbell streets. Mixed plastic bottles include any with necks smaller than the base. Bottles may be clear or colored, but should be larger than 6 ounces and smaller than 5 gallons. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald April 30, 2010 Dick Hentze fi gures the hardest part of taking a long hike through Northeastern Oregon ought to be the hiking. Sleeping out beneath the stars is nice, sure. But gazing up at the Milky Way isn’t such a stellar experi- ence when a rock gouges your left kidney every time you fi dget. Hentze, who lives near Baker City, thinks the European approach to distance hiking is rather more civilized. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald April 29, 2019 The second-to-last day of April probably will be the coldest of the month in Baker City. Which, besides prompting people to fi gure out which seat their ice scraper had been hiding beneath, reverses the normal progression of temperatures for the fi rst full month of spring. The temperature plunged to 19 degrees at 5:20 a.m. at the Baker City Airport. That’s 1 degree colder than the previous record low for April 29, set in 2014. Until a cold front barrelled through Baker County on Saturday — winds gusted to 55 mph at the airport — April had been relatively balmy, especially nighttime tempera- tures. Through the fi rst 28 days the average low at the airport was 35.7 degrees. That would have made this April the warmest, by that measure, on record, eclipsing the previ- ous record of 35.2 degrees in April 1965. But today’s chilly beginning preserved 1965’s suprem- acy. This April’s average low has dropped to 35.1, and it’s all but certain to dip even farther, as the National Weather Service is forecasting a low of 28 degrees on the month’s fi nal day.
