OBITUARIES
TURNING BACK THE PAGES
50 YEARS AGO
from the Democrat-Herald
November 6, 1971
With their defense ending the regular season 50 sec-
onds too soon, the Pine-Eagle Spartans lost their shutout
string, which had wound through their entire loop sched-
ule, but still posted a 22-8 jewel over Elgin Friday to take
sole possession of the Wapiti League championship.

The Third Street side of the Baker County Courthouse is
beginning to appear slightly different — and in what most
consider an aesthetically pleasing manner.
Two tall arborvitae were removed last month. The old
shrubs were about 40 feet tall with poorly shaped tops
and had been there for decades.
ONE YEAR AGO
from the Baker City Herald
November 7, 2020
November’s a week old, but if not for a certain electoral
matter that keeps hogging the headlines you might not
have noticed the new month’s arrival.
Had you stepped outside and sampled the air during
the fi rst 5 days in particular, you wouldn’t have had much
reason to believe we’ve entered the year’s penultimate
month.
November, which frequently marks the transition to
icy, frigid winter in Baker County, has instead put on a
convincing impersonation of something that looks suspi-
ciously like September.
In the previous 77 Novembers, a total of 2,310 days, the
temperature reached 70 degrees during November on just
4 of those days at the Baker City Airport.
(Which is .0017%, if you prefer percentages and mul-
tiple decimal points.)
This November pulled off that feat on 3 of the fi rst 5
days.
(A hearty 60%.)
And it came close on one of the other two.
This unseasonably balmy stretch has rewritten the
record book for the Baker City Airport, where temperature
records date to 1943.

been dragged 400 yards and suffered
signifi cant head injuries. He was
transported to St. Anthony Hospital
and then later fl own to OHSU, where

tion.

ings at Court, Dorion and Southwest

gation while Union Pacifi c attended to
the affected train employees.
Vern Howland
Formerly of Baker City, 1941-2021
Arthur Vernon (Vern)
Howland, 80, of Kuna, Idaho,
and formerly of Baker City,
died Sept. 11,
2021, at Saint
Alphonsus
Hospital in
Boise.
A celebra-
tion of his
life will take
Vern
place Satur-
Howland
day, Nov. 13
at 11 a.m. at Quail Ridge
Golf Course, 2801 Indiana
Ave., in Baker City.
Vern was born on March
1, 1941, in Baker City. After
graduating from Baker
High School, he spent four
years in the Navy, serving in
the South Pacifi c. Upon his
return to home, Vern mar-
ried Judith LaFay, started
his own successful plumbing
business in Jerome, Idaho,
and enjoyed being a dad
to his children, Greg and
Tracie.
After divorcing in 1976,
Vern returned to Oregon
with his children and contin-
ued his plumbing business
in both Bend and Pendleton,
and worked construction
traveling the West Coast.
Vern met and married
Neta Phillips in the 1980s,
and in 1987 returned to
Baker City and purchased
his uncle’s plumbing busi-
ness, Glen Hall Plumbing.
He changed the name to
Vern’s Plumbing and pro-
ceeded to build a great life in
Baker City. Vern and Neta
raised two children together,
Rachelle and Nareta (Boo).
Vern was a very active
father, and his children and
grandchildren were his pride
and joy.
Vern loved participating
in sports and was a natural
and gifted athlete as well
as an avid outdoorsman. He
excelled at all things includ-
ing golf, water and snow
skiing, hunting, fi shing and
trap shooting, and he loved
riding snowmobiles. Besides
his family, Vern was passion-
ate about elk hunting. In
65 years, he rarely missed
an opening day, so his fi nal
resting plan will be on a
ridge overlooking the beauti-
ful mountains of Starkey,
where he had hunted since
his own childhood, and later
with all his kids.
Vern lived hard, played
hard, and loved with all his
heart.
Vern is survived by his
son, Greg Howland, and his
wife, Luanne; his daugh-
ters, Tracie Butterfi eld and
her husband, Bill, Rachelle
Lattimer and her husband,
Casey, and Nareta (Boo)
Carman and her husband,
Vic; eight grandchildren and
11 great-grandchildren.
Vern was preceded in
death by his fi rst grandson,
Jason Howland.
