Both the County and the State

, Mrs. E. J. Greger and John
Schleining are the two juvenile
case workers assigned to the
Sandy-Hoodland area by the
Clackamas County Juvenile
Department.
“ We both are in the Sandy-
Hoodland area at least one day
each week,” said Schleining
“ Often times we w ill find
ourselves in the area more
times than that, especially
during the summer months.”
Both were involved this past
summer
in
organizing
programs for juveniles they
were working with in the area
“ There are few programs for
juveniles, especially g irls ,
during the summer so it is
important that the youngsters
plan some activities they want
to get involved with and then
have them do these activities.
It is one way which I feel I can

Sandy Grade levy
Voters in the Sandy Grade
School District turned down a
proposed building bond levy by
a vote of 366 to 355 Tuesday.
The vote turnout on the
proposed $863,575 bond levy
was one of the highest ever in
the district, according to school
officials.
The bond had been for the
addition of classrooms plus the
remodeling of the kitchen and
the enlargement of a library for
the district.
With the failure of the bond
by 11 votes, superintendent
Tony Bryant said the question
of how to handle the increasing
number of students in the
district goes back to the school
board.
Bryant said there are four
choices open to the board:
resubmit the bond for another
election as it is; submit a
smaller bond levy to the voters;
go to a double shift program in
the lower grade levels ; or move
the district into a 12-month
school program.
These alternatives had been
discussed before the election

The lack of any large scale

program in the area for both
boys and girls was stressed as
one reason why many juveniles
get referred to the juvenile
department.
“ The biggest reason fo r
juvenile problems is the lack of
concern from parents for their
youngsters,” said Mrs. Greger.
Both said this is why when
they deal with a juvenile
problem it means dealing not
only with the child, but also
with the child's parents and his
environment.

Doyle Boswell walked off
with the top prize, a Honda

Post subscription contest.
Actually he ran off with the
prize collecting 702,000 points
while his nearest competitor,
Jeffrey Gagner, had 280,000
points for second place and the
color television set.
Jeffrey had a much tighter
race as he beat out Becky
Kautz with 239,000 points and
Chris Reinhart with 210,000
points.
Both Becky and Chris were
winners of new bicycles in the
contest, the other winners

Compared to the other areas
in the county the Sandy-
Hoodland area ranks in the
middle in number of referrals
to the juvenile department.
Both juvenile workers stated
that most youngsters referred
from this area are at least 12-
years old.
They stated that one major
problem for juveniles in this
area is getting transportation
to 'where the action is.’
“ As fa r as one m ajor
problem of juveniles in the
area, drinking alcohol has to be
it,” stated Schleining.
Both he and Mrs. Greger
said that they feel the drug
problem in the Sandy area is
less than in other parts of the
county.
They feel that the youngsters
go more for alcohol than for
marijuana when seeking to
“ have fun.”
Working through and with
other organizations in the area
is an important part of juvenile
work. Both workers feel that
