SANDY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1971
Voice in the w ild ern ess
Hoodland people have complained
in the past that they have no say in
county government and that the
county has no communications with
them. But now through the Hoodland
Planning Group a voice is starting to
be heard at the county level.
This is why it is important to
everyone in the Hoodland area to
attend the public meeting being held
Thursday, Jan. 28, at 7:30 p.m. in the
Welches Grade School.
This meeting being sponsored by
the Hoodland Planning Group is a
chance for the people of Hoodland to
get their wants and needs for the
future of the area heard by the group
which the county is looking to for help
in planning the master landuse plan
for the Hoodland area.
The 15 member planning group is
made up of local Hoodland citizens
and they are seeking information
from their fellow citizens as to what is
wanted in the future of the mountain
area.
From the inform ation a t this
meeting the Planning Group will
makeup a survey which will be
distributed to the people of the
mountain area and the results of this
survey will hopefully give the group
some guidelines to follow as to the
future of the mountain area.
Com m unity support n e e d e d
We commend Sandy Mayor Melvin
Haneberg and the Sandy City Council
for the foresight they had in getting
the city started two years in advance
of the 100th year Centennial to be
celebrated in 1973.
There is a lot of work to be done by
all the citizens in the Sandy area to
help make this event a big success.
The sooner citizens and groups in
the area volunteer and start planning
for the Centennial the better.
One of the important tasks will be
the gathering of information of Sandy
history and we hope that persons in
the community who have Sandy
history either through their memory
or through pictures will be willing to
share these with the history com
mittee when it is formed.
The most important task that
must be first taken care of is the
forming of a public steering com
mittee which will start the plans in
motion for 1973.
We feel the clubs in the Sandy area
should jump at a chance to help with
the Centennial and we at the Post will
also do our share.
Behind the Senate Deadlock
No one has said much about what
we suspect is the real reason for the
long delay in organizing the State
Senate.
It’s the fact that the Senate
president is next in line should Gov.
Tom McCall, for any reason, decide to
step down. In other words, the battle
over the Senate presidency could be
deciding the governorship.
All the guessing, of course, centers
on the possibility that Gov. McCall
may seek a Senate seat in 1971, mid
term in his four-year gubernatorial
stint. The governor hasn’t said but
rumors that he will recur continually.
Should the governor resign, the
president of the Senate would step up.
This, we strongly suspect, is the real
reason behind the long Senate
deadlock. Neither side wants to take
the chance that the next governor
could thus be decided.

ber of Commerce meeting. Here he is explaining the
county sheriff's plan for a *1.5 million special levy to new

News and Views About
Mt. Hood Community College
By JIM NORRIS
College Inform ation Officer
CAMPUS VISITOR
One of boxing’s most famous
champions of all-time appeared
at Mt. Hood last week. But
Archie Moore didn’t come to
discuss boxing. His purpose: to
tell about his youth project,
“Any Boy Can.” (ABC)
At a press conference, the
first question p ertained to
boxing and what he thought of
to d a y ’s heavyw eight tit’e
situation. His response: “Did I
come here to talk about
boxing?”
After thoroughly discussing
his youth work, the cagey ring
veteran made public his views
of boxing and some of today’s
boxers.
In spending several hours
with Moore, we found him as
nimble mentally as he ever was
on his feet. He is equally at
home discussing religion or
philosophy as he Is boxing.
And what a project he has
going! He calls this the greatest
fight of his lifetime. That may
be true, but we’re betting on the
Champ

LETTERS ToThe EDITOR
To the Editor:
Another vital link in the chain
of our Eco-system has been
removed I am refering to the
needless destruction of a
Bobcat that was so vividly
described on the front page of
the January 7 edition of the
Sandy Post.
Mr. Shaver did not stop to
think what an all important role
the wildlife of this planet play
in the preservation of a life
supporting environment that is
fast becoming hostile to life of
all kinds including man There
are a number of animal species
that a re now extinct and
several more on the verge of
extinction The wildlife of this
planet is no match for man and
his advancing technology— to
sight a specific instance, Mr.
Shaver’s “trusty 22 rifle” and
“flashlight".
Mr Shaver cannot be held
solely to blame for the
d eterioratio n of our en
vironment though His was just
one act out of millions com
mitted everyday by the human
ra c e . The introduction of
pesticides and herbicides into
the environm ent, th e con
struction of each new freeway,
the manufacture of each new
gasoline engine, and the an-
n ilation of vegetation for
economic expansion are just a
few of the factors that are
reducing our home, Mother
E a rth , to a hostile en
vironment
Our home, Mother Earth,
m oves through the vast
universe toward an unknown
destination or end One thing is
for certain: if life on earth is to
be preserved till that end, then
revolutionary changes are
going to have to be made in
m ankinds blind social and
e c o n o m ic
e x p a n s io n .
Population control is the first
step. Can we think of some
others?
In many areas of the world
today our air isn't fit to breath,
our water isn’t fit to swim in,
and the worlds oceans are
becoming cesspools for toxic
wastes Come on llomosapiens.
let us forget the almighty dollar
and think of some ways to halt
the already approaching ex
tinction of life from this planet.

To the Editor.
Do we believe that man has
the right to destroy life? Why
do some men work so hard to do
this9 Now his own kind will be
next, mankind
We may not believe that we
are contributing to our own
destruction but I feel most of us
are doing just that. Who con
trib u tes
to the
worlds
destruction9 Those who kill and
pollute without thought or
reason, and the rest of us who
feel we do our part by keeping
our yards clean and returning
pop bottles There is nothing
wrong with this but we need to
do more.
We sit back and see what is
going on in the world Then we
feel badly for a passing
moment and then forget about
the world’s problems. We may
think, “What can I do? I am but
one person. How can I fight the
many spoilers of this earth?”
How many of us feel this way?
I>et’s get together and fight
Fight those that destroy our
earth, fight with the greatest of
all weapons, that of love!
How long can we sit and
watch our children's future be
cut short just as sure as we are
killing off our wildlife9 Man
interferes with the balance of
nature through pollution and
taking land away from wildlife
for his own use We must do
something about our growing
population Man must blame
himself. There is no other
c re a tu re who destroys the
balance of nature that his own
kind may live better Can we
tru ly blam e the younger
generation for being skeptical
Try, to look at our world and
its environm ent from the
c h ild 's point of view We
parents didn't make the total
mess but are we trying to undo
the wrong that has been done?
Do we care enough to become
involved9
Have we already gone to fa r9
What can we do9 Lets find out
and then do it. I believe if
everyone who c a re s would
work and pray we will be able
to save our world and its
wildlife for our children But we
must act today not tomorrow!
Join those already working
tow ard this goal: lim it
population growth, write let
te rs, read and understand
(understand life by learning to
love life)!
Let’s join together in love
that our children (all children)
may be given a chance to live.
Everything born has that right.
We have no right to take that
life and destroy it through
thoughtless actions or apathy.
The right to say what lives or
dies belongs to the creator of all
life, God!

le tte r To The E ditor:
In regard to the cable service
in the Hoodland area. Well, it’s
better than none. During the
Spring, Summer and Fall there
doesn’t seem to be complaints,
as to the type of service
However, when W inter
com es, it is a different
situation The weather is more
servere and the elements also
have some affect on the
reception.
W inter
brings
m any
changes—our electricity goes
out which obviously has an
affect on the Cable TV service;
which could mean that one end
of the mountain has electricity
and the other is without Each
time this happens, the ser
viceman has to start at the top
and work his way to each point
of connection to be sure that the
fuses and etc. are in working
condition or replace ones that
have blown This takes time.
Also, if the electric service is
not working at the main plant
then reception is nil at the other
end
Our other inconveniences;
the mail is later than usual,
electric service goes out and we
seem to try to understand these
circum stances and accept
vironmental problems facing
both the state and national
levels.Each Monday from 7 to 9
p.m. the class meets to discuss
a pertinent topic. The public is
welcome to attend free of
charge.
On Jan. 25, the topic will be
“ P a rk s
and
W ilderness
A reas.” M arvin G uidry,
Bureau of Land Management,
will lead
this
sem inar
discussing developments in the
Rogue River area.
R epresentatives of the
National Forest Service will
also discuss national parks and
wilderness areas in the Pacific
Northwest.
EVENTS PLANNED
Two events, which will take
place on the Mt. Hood campus
this Spring, are being planned
now.
Mt. Hood is hosting its first
com m unity college speech
tournament on Feb. 26 - 27.
Between 15 and 25 community
college teams from Oregon,
Idaho and W ashington a re
expected to participate.
Then in May, the annual
N orthw est
Swing
Choir
Festival will probably attract
more than 75 high school swing
choirs
from
Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana.

Student members of the Mt.
Hood Film Club are looking
forward to their next regularly
scheduled children’s film. They
have two film schedules, one
