andy ¿ost Vol. 27 SANDY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1965 Kay Randell Honored At Banquet Perry J, Long, Northwest distributor of the Kirby Co. invited Kay to be guest of honor at a banquet last Sat. night at the Multnomah Hotel. She was presented with a brand new Kir by vacuum cleaner and $500. gift certificate from the Kirby Co. The gift certificate was pur chased from Ellen’s Klozet at Sandy and is to be used by Kay and her two daughters, Tinker and Mary Liz, to re place some of the clothing she lost during the flood. Kay credits her sheep dog, Toby, as having had the in stinct to know disaster was close at hand. Toby caused Kay to spend a fitful night Dec. 21, by waking her every little while as he paced the floor and whin- ned. "That’s you," seems to say Perry J. Long, northwest distributor for Kirby Co., as he points to picture of Kay Randell clipped from Life Magazine and hung on the wall of his Portland office. "Yep, that’s me," acknowledges Kay. (Post photo) At about 9:30 A.M. the foi ling day, Kay phoned her friends and neighbors, the Jack Saund ers, and said, "Come on over to my place and see the river - this is a sight you’ll never see again!” In telling her story Kay remarked, "little did I know”! County Dump Is Closed, Road Work Progressing Clackamas county commis sioners have temporarily closed the county dump located at Brightwood and ask coopera tion of local residents. According to Commissioner Stan Skoko the dump will be closed until further notice. He emphasized “this is a tem porarily closure until the roods are widened here, not over one month.” For the time being residents are requested to take their trash, etc. to the Sandy dump. Over the past weekend limit ed access has been afforded to all residents and other persons providing adequate evidence of ownership in these flooded areas they stated. Most county roads are in satisfactory condition for car and smaller truck travel. An exception to this is Lolo Pass which is still closed and on Larsen Road at Brightwood. Runs to Sandy Portland Stages is prepared to add a daily run betweenSandy and Portland to provide partly for service being abandoned by T railways. The company says a new run will start from Sandy at 7:40 a.m. and from Portland at 5:19 p.m., augmenting its service already provided between those communities. Associated Press reports Trailways obtained permission from the state public utility commissioner to abandon morning and evening commuter bus schedules between Portland and Rhododendron. Portland Stages is not em powered to serve as far east as Rhododendron. Kay Randell of Rhododendron appeared in the Jan. 8 issue of Life magazine being hauled across the Zig Zag River in a bo1 sun’s chair. She was not alone - she carried her vacuum cleaner in her arms. That the vacuum cleaner was easily recognizable as a par ticular kind and that the picture was captioned to bring atten tion to the vacuum as being the "only possession she saved,” has brought surprising results to Kay. At Larsen Road county crews are working from both direc tions but it will be impossible to place a portion of the road back into its original path at the present time. In a few cases it still neces sary for residents to walk into their homes. In these instances, the roads will allow them to reach within 1000 feet of the residences. The commissioners indicated renovation of county roads on this temporarily access basii would be completed by this Wed nesday. After Wednesday of this week they intend to form- ulate plans for the complete restoration of the county’s roadways damaged by the floods. County work crews have been at work on public as well as county roads. Public roadways from Wildcat Creek to Rhodo dendron have been restored to Flood Repair Awaits Data travel.

This was the windup of class sessions studying pioneer modes of living. Stu dents, I. to r., in the photo are Wayne Stone, Sylvia Stronk, Lynn Booker, Arbie Book er and Johnny Comer. (Post photo) ADS ARE FAMOUS FOR FAST RESULTS Some of the mothers appar ently were excited about this class project, too, for they sent homemade bread, and even some coffee cake, along with their children to school. (After all, what good was the butter if there wasn’t something to spread it on. And, of course, grandma would bake home- made bread ... she didn’t have a supermarket to run to for a store-bought loaf of bread.) About 10:15 this particular morning the butter project got under way with the necessary ingredients put in the crock, the lid with the churn and han dle was set in place, and one by one each student in the class lent a big of stored - up ener gy to the matter at hand. What excitementl Just in time for lunch the butter was made and placed in the glass tray prepared for it. One of the main objects to be learned from this class, explained the teacher, is the contrast in modes of living during the early days compared to modern times. Talking with the students one found they had learned their lessons well but by observing them for a short time there was another trait discovered--they like to eat, too! Principal of the Cottrell school is Mrs. Jean Lundy.

(Post photo) Projects Talked By Chamberites Approval of a$200,000feder al grant for immediate restor ation and renovation of six pri mary danger points along the flood devastated Sandy river and its tributaries was an nounced earlier this week. Hy Jackson, civil defense direc tor, said the funds are a por tion of the President's Disas ter Fund, Public Law 875. The plea for funds in this area was sought last week after Jackson and a group of Army Engineers surveyed the past destruction and recognized the potential disaster should a sud den rise in the river develop. Also, considered was the spring freshet expected in the next few weeks. Emergency work will being immediately he remarked. The funds were granted for neces sary measures to stop further bank erosion and in some cases to put the Sandy, Salmon, and Zig Zag Rivers and Wildcat Creek back in their normal channels. Survey groups are now in the area and an emergency opera tion center is being opened at Wemme Lions Club, same site as the Red Cross Disaster Re lief Center. Army Corps of En gineers will headquarter here with Harry Hendrickson, con struction engineer, in charge. The surveyors have already started surveying above Sleepy Hollow Bridge. This will be the first location for work under the emergency grant. In this location the shore on the right bank belongs to the county and immediate permission is avail able to go to work. Permits and easements for construction work along the en tire project must be obtained before workers are allowed to being in each locality. Stated Jackson, they must get this permission from the property owners. A reasonable amount of leg work and time is involv- ed. At the moment this is the lone federal fund grant to the Hoodland vicinity under public law 875. It Is an unlimited fund provided by President Johnson for disaster areas. Most of Sandy Chamber of Commerce dinner meeting Tuesday was taken up with a discussion of the project goals for this year. Dick Steffi was named as chairman of a com mittee to study proposed goals and return recommendations to the chamber body at a later date. Neil Jackson, C of C prexy, suggested to the group that three primary goals be set - up for this year and that the chamber strive to accomplish them. One of his proposals Included the continuation of last year’s Christmas tree decorating pro gram. Among other things men tioned by various members were the need for a new city hall, county office here, govern ment youth camp for the area, etc. Included on the committee to set up definite programs or goals for the chamber are Bob Jim "Cap" Hartman, president of the Sandy Kiwanis Grockett and Jerry Crouse.
