T URNING B ACK THE P AGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald October 20, 1970 “Moving was defi nitely a teamwork effort,” said Sister Margaret, RN, regarding the one-day move from the old hospital to the new St. Elizabeth Hospital Oct. 9. Sister Margaret, administrator, said the new building had to meet certain Oregon State Board of Health require- ments before it could be occupied. The entire move required two large vans from a local moving fi rm to handle heavier equipment such as furni- ture, operating tables and a delicate electronic accounting machine. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald October 20, 1995 Gov. John Kitzhaber on Thursday approved a seven- member committee’s recommended sites for four of fi ve juvenile prisons the state plans to open by July 1997. But Kitzhaber has yet to decide on the committee’s selection of a property in Burns over one just east of Baker City for a 50-bed Eastern Oregon facility. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald October 20, 2010 Flu season is coming, and this year there is plenty of vaccine. “Anyone who wants one can come in,” said Alicia Hills, nursing supervisor at the Baker County Health Depart- ment. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald October 21, 2019 From their lodges scattered across Oregon, from the Coast to the high desert to the mountains and the valleys, the Elks were all headed to one place — Baker City. The Baker Elks Lodge No. 33 played host this weekend to offi cers from 52 lodges who traveled here for one of Oregon Elks’ two major annual events. The three-day event, which started Thursday, is a train- ing seminar for incoming exalted rulers, said Morgan Brinton of Baker City, lecturing knight for the Baker Lodge and public relations chairperson for the Elks Northeast Oregon District. This is the fi rst time the event, offi cially known as the Leading Knight Fall Conference/Seminar, has taken place at the Baker City Lodge, which was started in 1896, Brin- ton said. “We’re very honored that they came over,” Brinton said on Friday. About 200 people, including Elks offi cers and their spouses and guests, gathered in Baker City. “It was a huge undertaking and involved a lot of vol- unteer hours,” Brinton said. “Our members really came through.” O REGON L OTTERY MEGABUCKS, Oct. 17 2 — 3 — 18 — 21 — 43 — 44 Next jackpot: $3.3 million POWERBALL, Oct. 17 6 — 10 — 31 — 37 — 44 PB 23 Next jackpot: $91 million MEGA MILLIONS, Oct. 16 27 — 32 — 50 — 52 — 57 Mega 12 Next jackpot: $86 million WIN FOR LIFE, Oct. 17 23 — 44 — 55 — 75 PICK 4, Oct. 18 • 1 p.m.: 5 — 5 — 7 — 1 • 4 p.m.: 5 — 3 — 2 — 3 • 7 p.m.: 4 — 5 — 2 — 7 • 10 p.m.: 7 — 1 — 9 — 4 LUCKY LINES, Oct. 18 3-6-11-15-18-24-25-30 Next jackpot: $18,000 S ENIOR M ENUS ■ WEDNESDAY: Meatloaf, potatoes and gravy, broccoli- blend vegetables, bread, Jell-O with fruit, bread pudding ■ THURSDAY: Baked cod, clam chowder, rolls, mixed vegetables, coleslaw, cheesecake ■ FRIDAY: Chili cheeseburgers on a bun, potato wedges, peas, fruit ambrosia, cookies ■ MONDAY (Oct. 26): Baked ham, sweet potatoes, mixed vegetables, biscuits, cottage cheese with fruit, lemon bars ■ TUESDAY (Oct. 27): Swedish meatballs over fettuccine, broccoli-blend vegetables, bread, green salad, apple crisp News of Record on Page 3A Publisher Karrine Brogoitti kbrogoitti@lagrandeobserver. com Jayson Jacoby, editor jjacoby@bakercityherald.com Advertising email ads@bakercityherald.com Classifi ed email classified@bakercityherald.com Circulation email circ@bakercityherald.com ISSN-8756-6419 Serving Baker County since 1870 Published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays except Christmas Day by the Baker Publishing Co., a part of EO Media Group, at 1668 Resort St. (P.O.

In 1952, at age 18, Gordon enlisted in the Navy where he studied naval diesel training at Great Lakes, Illinois. When it came time to draw ships, he drew the USS Kyne (DE 744) destroyer escort out of New York. He served 4 years in the Korean War and fi nished his tour of duty in 1956; by that time Gordon had been promoted to First Class Engineman. He did well, scored high on his tests and qualifi ed for offi cer training, but decided to hang up his dog tags for civilian life. Gordon headed west on his motorcycle with two buddies from his hometown and even- tually settled in Northern California where he used his military mechanic training to work for British Motors, an exotic sports car dealer- ship in San Jose, California. Being a sports car enthusi- ast, Gordon bought his fi rst Porsche at 25 and joined the Continental Sports Car Club of Northern California where he met like-minded friends that road rallied with him to places like the Napa Valley wine country; and also car races at the Sonoma Race- way. In 1968, Gordon moved to Eugene and like his father, Oscar, had ambition to be a cowboy. He bought land and his fi rst two horses, Ginger and Sheba. In 1969, he met Judith Lee Heater Fox in Creswell on a blind date and after one pizza knew that he had met the love of his life. They married in 1970, they shared seven kids and a pas- sion for country living. In 1972 Gordon and Judy left the Willamette Valley for Eastern Oregon and with two horses, two milk cows and two dogs bought their fi rst ranch at Mount Vernon on the banks of the John Day River. In 1979, Gordon and Judy purchased a larger ranch in Unity where they raised cattle and their kids; all graduates of Burnt River High School. “You’ll love the work we do.
