T URNING B ACK THE P AGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald June 13, 1970 The Baker County Chamber of Commerce now has on hand 500 tickets for the opening night showing of the movie “Paint Your Wagon” at $1.75 each, Vern Manary, C of C offi ce manager, has announced. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald June 13, 1995 Summit Creek fl ows swift and clear through a pon- derosa pine forest on this early June morning near Logan Valley, about 25 miles south of Prairie City. But not everyone sees it that way. The Cow Cops, for example. They’re environmentalists who inspect grazing allot- ments on public lands. When the cow cops fi nd what they believe are violations or environmental problems, they report them to the federal agency that manages the allot- ment. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald June 14 2010 The fl oods that swept through Eagle and Pine valleys earlier this month left behind — in addition to a muddy, bouldery mess — considerably more questions than answers. Many of those questions were posted Sunday evening to Rep. Greg Walden during a public forum at the Eagle Valley Grange in Richland. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald June 14, 2019 Baker City’s insurance company will pay former local journalist Brian Addison $155,000 to settle a lawsuit he fi led against the city and its former police chief in 2015. The settlement was fi nalized Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Pendleton. The lawsuit, which had been sched- uled to go to trial in August, was dismissed with prejudice, which means the matter cannot be brought before the court again. The city and Addison will be responsible for their own costs and attorney fees, the stipulated agreement states. In signing the agreement, City Manager Fred Warner Jr., former police chief Wyn Lohner and Addison agreed to release all parties from any further liability in the matter.
