A2 — BAKER CITY HERALD SATURDAY, JULY 17, 2021 Brothers open outdoor gear shop By Joanna Mann jmann@bakercityherald.com T URNING B ACK THE P AGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald July 17, 1971 The woods at the end of Pine Creek Road are humming with activity this week as 55 Baker County youngsters, ages 6 to 12, participate in the fi rst expanded Food and Nutrition Education Day Camp, sponsored by the Baker County Extension Service. As in other camps, these youngsters are playing games, singing songs, and learning crafts, but the day camp has special purpose. Through activities such as cooking over an open fi re and singing songs like “Drink, Drink, Drink Your Milk,” to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” the youngsters are learning the basic facts about nutritional needs and the proper foods to fulfi ll them. 25 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald July 17, 1996 The Baker City Golf Board is considering four options for managing the city-owned golf course, including leasing the nine-hole course to a private contractor or to a yet-to- be-formed nonprofi t group composed of local golfers. The board appointed a seven-person committee to study ways to manage the public golf course. Board members discussed the committee’s four options for the fi rst time Tuesday night. The board will choose one, perhaps by late August or early September, and present its recommendation to the City Council, which has fi nal authority, board chairman Troy Phillips said this morning. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald July 18, 2011 A hailstorm on Saturday afternoon damaged crops in Baker Valley, but the extent hasn’t been measured. Jan Kerns, who with her husband, Tim, grows potatoes on their Rainbow Ranch west of Haines, said they haven’t surveyed the damage to their crop. “We had a potato fi eld that got hit pretty hard,” she said. The storm hit around 4 p.m. on Saturday, Kerns said. At this point in the potato’s life cycle, hail can strip leaves from the plants and break the stems. While the actual potato is safe underground, it needs the leaves and stems to stay healthy to reach full size. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald July 18, 2020 With Little League baseball and softball and many other sports being canceled, and schools closed for the spring term, kids have been left without access to the normal activities and social interactions during the pandemic. The Baker County YMCA is trying to address the situa- tion. “Recognizing the shortage of healthy and engaging activities for youth during the COVID-19 emergency, the Baker County YMCA is working to fi ll that gap while con- tinuing to provide safe environments and conditions,” the YMCA said in a press release. The YMCA is offering a volleyball camp for kids ages 8 to 11 the week of July 20-24, a basketball camp in August, and fi tness classes for ages 10 and up (yoga, tai chi, Zumba and cycling). The YMCA is also opening exercise machines and free weight stations for ages 15 and up at its Fitness Center. The YMCA was also giving group swim lessons for youth, but the spots fi lled.

Their solution? Start a business. The Aldersons opened Baboon Creek Outfi tters on Friday, July 16, just in time for Miners Jubilee weekend. “We originally were going to have this little online shop, just kind of as a hobby,” Shane said. “We thought, ‘Well, we’re gonna have to rent a building cause we don’t even have room to work on the stuff that we have.’ ” Between Shane’s recreation back- ground as a guide in Utah and Mark’s vast collection of Coleman equipment, the two started looking for a space to open their shop right before the CO- VID-19 restrictions started. VENDORS Continued from Page A1 “I fi nally decided to embrace the chaos in my life,” said Peters, who lives in Baker City. While some vendors have been attending Miners Jubilee for decades, others are making their fi rst visit. Peter Nguyen has a cell- phone accessory stand called P&T Enterprises and he’s eager to experience his fi rst event in Baker City. Usually he does larger festivals, he said, but this year he decided to try something new after the pandemic. Shelly Cutler, executive director of the Baker County Chamber of Commerce, which puts on Miners Jubi- lee, said the vendors started arriving around 7 a.m. Thursday and would be set- ting up throughout the day. A couple of the regular food vendors sold their carts dur- ing the COVID-19 lockdown, but other than that, most Elvin Carter Baker City, 1929-2021 Elvin Eugene Carter, 92, of Baker City entered into rest on July 10, 2021, at Meadow- brook Place.
