Solve salary problems
The quicker the district is able to
agree on the salary schedules for the
teachers the sooner the voting public
will be able to see the budget they will
be voting on this spring.
Last year the budget lost the first
time due to what was called a tax
The sooner the people are able to
know what they are voting on the
better. We encourage everyone to
attend the budget com m ittee
meetings of the local school districts
and hope for a quick agreement on the
impasse at the high school.
Another Look at Zoning
Clackamas county was the heart
several years ago of the ZAMO
country, those folks stridently op
posed to zoning laws.
But at least one small segment of
Clackamas county, the Dover area,
would now be all too willing to em
brace zoning.
A Portlander plans to put in a
motorcycle track about six or seven
m iles southeast of Sandy and
residents of the area are most
unhappy. There already is one track
in the area and another, they feel,
S EPTIC D R A IN A G E is a problem in the
mountain area according to county of
ficials. John Borden, chief sanitarian for
the county, said that building in the area is
now already being lim ited some due to too
much sewerage in the areas. Service
districts are now trying to be formed in the
Rhododendron and Welches areas as a
move to help find out the need for sewers in
the two areas.
would be just too much.
Their first appeal was to
Clackamas county officials who told
them, reluctantly, that as far as
zoning was concerned, there was
nothing anyone could do. The area is
not zoned and the motorcycle track
development could not be blocked via
that route.
The State Highway Dept. flatly
refuses to give any sort of a time
table on construction of the Freeway.
Presumably, it will come off the
M arquam bridge, follow east
generally south of Powell, go south of
G resham and connect with the
present
G resham -Sandy
road
somewhere near Hillyard road just
east of here.
However, the Highway Dept. says
corridor hearings (which fix the exact
route) are not concluded, then must
come the design hearings (which

We think it is high time that the

someone similar puts pressure on the

S L IM E HAS formed in Little Brook in the Rhododendron
area. The slime is caused from sewerage runoff in the
area according to John Borden from the county sanitation
office. Borden stated that this was one of the reasons the
county was wanting to get a service district and then a
sewer system in the area.

Other legal maneuvers may be

After these, must come funding,

The Highway Dept. has shown no

"M y basic impression of the
United States was cowboys,
Indians, New York and
pollution For all the movies I
have seen are either cowboys
and Indians or it takes place in
New York and it concerns the
pollution problem.”
Most of the news which he
reads about the USA in Chile is
centered on the east coast
which led him to believe the
whole country was nothing but
big cities
“ Also many of the students I
know who have been an AFS
student before told me that no
one knew about the program in
the schools they attended, but 1
have not found that so. In this
school everyone seems to know
about it and this has helped me
in becoming adjusted to this
country," said Willie
One thing which he has
noticed is the contrast between
the students here and in his
native land
“ Students here all seem to
have jobs or ways of earning
money whiie at home you never
think of working until school is
finished You expect your
parents to pay your whole way
until you finish school."
He feels that this has given
the younger people is this
country much more respon
sibility earlier than they get it
in his country
Willie stated that he has been
asked many questions about
the government of his country
because this year it became the
first democratic country to vote
a communist government into
power.
“ Actually when you look at it,
the government voted in was
really a coalition group of
leftist parties, it is not com
pletely communist.”
He said his country has had a
dem ocratic government for
most of the years since 1817 and
he feels his country is one of the
most stable in South America
He stated that Salvador
Allende the new president
actually did not get a majority
of the vote because it was split
three ways. The congress had
to choose and Allende and his
supporters got the backing of
the third group to take the
election.
Overall he stated that he is
enjoying his stay in Sandy and
is looking forward to meeting
more people of the area
“ A good chance for us to
meet and for people to meet
several other AFS students
would be Saturday night at the
AFS dinner to be held at the
high school." said Guillermo
(Willie).
