TURNING BACK THE PAGES
50 YEARS AGO
from the Democrat-Herald
August 13, 1972
PORTLAND — Jelling an attack after a sputtering fi rst
quarter, the South used the vulture passing of South
Salem’s Phil Brus and the grinding running of Baker’s Dick
Sheehy to clobber the North 33-7 in the 25th annual Shrine
football game here Saturday night.
Sheey carried the ball 12 times for 61 yards and scored
two touchdowns. He was named the South’s outstanding
back.

The Baker City Fire Department probably will regain the
responsibility for issuing commercial burning permits in and
near the city.
The City Council on Tuesday learned the Oregon Depart-
ment of Environmental Quality, which has been issuing per-
mits since last year, is amenable to delegating that authority
to the fi re department.

Kevin Martin started work this morning as supervisor of
the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.
Martin, who has worked as supervisor of the neighboring
Umatilla National Forest for eight years, replaces Monica
Schwalbach.
Schwalbach, who has led the Wallowa-Whitman since
April 2011, has taken a new job with the Forest Service’s
Pacifi c Northwest Research Station in Portland.

If you’ve always wanted a pioneer bonnet, it’ll soon be
easy to fi nd one.
The Trail Tenders, the nonprofi t group that supports the
National Historic Oregon Trail Interpretive Center, are bring-
ing their gift shop to downtown Baker City.
“We’re so excited,” said Kate Dimon, president of the Trail
Tenders.
The shop is at 2015 Main St. A soft opening is set for
Sept. 1.
The gift shop provides revenue for the Trail Tenders, who
in turn support the center, such as funding special perfor-
mances and programs.
The center has been closed since Nov. 17, 2020, due
to the coronavirus pandemic. However, this summer has
included outdoor performances, as well as programs in
Geiser-Pollman Park most Saturdays at 5 p.m.
Now center staff are storing artifacts to prepare the
center for an energy-effi cient renovation beginning March 1,
2022.
The work is expected to take two years.
“We are the custodians of many non-renewable artifacts
held in public trust,” said Wayne Monger, manager of the
Bureau of Land Management’s Vale District, which operates
the Interpretive Center. “They must be carefully protected
and stored to prevent loss, damage or degradation.”
Monger said last week in a press release that this pro-
cess is at a stage where the Center has to stay closed while
the work continues in preparation for the renovations that
start in 2022.

Map shows streets slated to be chip sealed starting Aug. 15, 2022.
City plans to chip seal several
streets next week if weather allows
Baker City Herald
The Baker City Public
Works Department plans to
chip seal sections of several
streets next week, starting
Monday, Aug. 15.
Weather permitting, the
work will continue through
Thursday, Aug. 18.
Chip sealing involves
spreading a layer of fine ag-
gregate on top of heated as-
phalt liquid, then compacting
the surface.
Chip sealing is much less
expensive than repaving,
and it can extend the life of a
street by reducing the
amount of moisture that pen-
etrates the asphalt, according
to a press release from the
city.
Drivers should expect de-
lays and possible detours
during the work.
If there’s inclement
weather, the city will re-
schedule delayed chip seal-
ing for the next available
work day. More information
is available by calling the city
at 541-523-2047.

ity for each day):

Foundation since Hopkins
joined. The foundation
screens the sight and hearing
of more than 200,000 children
and adults a year. It also pro-
vides eyeglasses and hearing
aids to those in need.
Kathy Oliver, of the El-
gin Lions Club, accepted the
award on Hopkins’ behalf
at the convention in Spring-
field. Oliver has long admired
Hopkins for his dedication to
Lions International and his
compassion.
“He loves it because we are
helping people and that is
what he loves,” she said.
Hopkins has been a part of
the Lions organization in Ore-
gon for more than 30 years. He
served as governor of District
G, which is composed of all of
Eastern and Central Oregon
in 2006-07, 2009-10 and 2014-
15. Hopkins is the only person
since the Lions established
an organization in Oregon in
1918 to serve as governor for
three terms in the state. All Li-
ons district governor terms are
one year in length.
Hopkins joined the Lions
in 1973 but he believes he did
not become a Lion until a few
years later when he took a
family that could not other-
wise afford presents Christmas
shopping. The emotions and
gratitude the family expressed
moved Hopkins deeply.
“That is when I truly be-
came a Lion,” he said. “When
something happens which
touches your soul, you be-
come a Lion.”
