movie “Paint Your Wagon” at $1.75 each, Vern Manary, C of
C offi ce manager, has announced.

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.
