'Winning Touch Jim Patrick and Gary Sandblast deserve a “ big pat on the back” for the tremendous job they have done as co-chairmen of the Sandy Rose Festival Float Committee. But as both Jim and Gary said, they could not have done anything at all had it not been for the com munity support given the float committee. The final two work days on the float are here and everyone is needed. There are over 30,000 flowers to be placed on the float and many other little jobs. The float com mmittee is again calling on the community to help put the ‘winning touch on a prize win ning flo a t.’ This float w ill do a lot towards giving our city recognition for the Centennial planned for next year. Right to Vote Whoever thought that election time in Oregon was finished in May is wrong. We here in the Sandy area are finding June is really the election month. This week the city had an election. next week the high school vote is set and the last week of June sees both the Sandy fire district and Sandy grade school holding elections. We really are getting a chance to exercise our right to vote. When Board Members Are Not Board Members Mt. Hood Community College is taking an interesting and innovative step in adding four “ ex-officio” members to its board of directors. I t ’s also one of much uncertainty. The board plans to add a representative from the students, the faculty, the administrative staff, and from classified (non-academic) personnel. The idea, of course, is to provide a broader cross-section from which the board m ight draw in making decisions. The new ex-officio mem bers w ill, in effect, be “ resource people.” But the four new members w ill not ever be board members, i.e., they will never vote. There simply is no legal way in which they could participate in board decisions, except in an ad- visory capacity. Board member Sed Stuart has expressed a feeling that the ap pointments m ight be a form of tokenism. Probably not. Additional input, especially from students and faculty, w ill be helpful as long as kept in context. The ex-officio appointees are not elected by the taxpayers; hence, their role can never be more than advisory. A Time To Be Careful The tragic deaths of three persons in a rescue attempt at Coos Bay last weekend underscores the need for extra caution at the beach. Ocean tides are so strong, the water so cold that persons swept out to sea don’t often survive. Nor do would-be rescuers. At Coos Bay last weekend, the girl who was the object of the original rescue attempt was saved, but not before three persons lost their lives. People who live near the ocean shudder when they see youngsters playing on logs, riding air mattresses etc. The odds are against them. Similarly, inland waters should be treated with respect. Nearby rivers, for instance, are at high-water levels. Currents are swift this time of year. Most of us who live in the Pacific Northwest have been raised on or near the water. I t ’s incumbent on us to make certain children have proper respect for the ocean, lakes and streams. Water is a tremendous, and unpredictable, force. Sandy grade readies building bond vote The Sandy Elementary School District has selected Tuesday June 27 for another try for a building bond election. The district tried a sim ilar bond issue on Oct. 1», 1971 which failed Following the defeat of that bond issue by 11 votes, the district studied the results of the election and in March submitted a questionaire to its patrons. The questionnaire results indicated 48 per cent favor the building program , 25 per cent favor a 12 month program , 3 per cent favor a combined building and 12-month program, 9 per cent favor a double shifting program , 3 per cent favor a double shifting and a 12-month program, 8 per cent were opposed to all alternatives, and the rem ainder were not clear enough in the response to tsbuiste. The School Board and Administration favor the building program at this time with an on-going study of the 12-month program , according to .Tony Bryant district superintendent. Bryant said, “ This district has not had a building program since 1965 and in terms of the anticipated growth pattern and good business planning it thought an election at this tim e is necessary. It is anticipated this program would coat approximately 11.22 per 81,000 of true cash value of property. In the m atter of finance we would like our patrons to re m e m b er our c u rren t operational budget (state department data) reflects the lowest tax rate among the elementary districts our size in our county and the state It is the district’s philosophy to operate a good school for a competitive price.” He said that persons having questions concerning the bond issue should contact the school office The election will be held in the In termediate Building, 207 Pleasant St., Sandy, from 8 a.m . to 8 p m. [ETTERS ToThe EDITOR To the Editor: We wish to thank the com munity for making our re cycling program at Sandy Union High School a full suc cess. Community response was beyond our expectations and beyond the capacities of our storage bins. Although we did find additional te m p o ra ry storage space for the paper and glass, it has become apparent that larger, more permanent facilities are needed Because of this, we find it necessary to close the paper and glass re cycling program as of June 7, 1972. We will be making the necessary p re p a ra tio n s to improve the storage systems by fall We will announce via the Sandy Post when the new facilities will be opened Thank you fo r your cooperation and common respect for the "good earth". Sandy Union High School Student Body To the Editor Obviously, I was wrong My understanding was that school budgets with increases above 6 per cent were voted upon by the taxpayer Not so T oday, in the Oregonian (June 2, on page 15), there was a statement from M t, Hood Community College that their budget would be increased 14 per cent above their present budget You didn't get to vote on this, and neither did I. The question of a vote by the public was avoided by the statement that only 2 7 million dollars of the total 11.2 million- d o lla r budget is ta x p a y e r money And this 2.7 million dollars is within the 6 per cent limitation, so no vote was necessary W onder where the s ta te m atching and fe d e ra l- matching finds come from '’ A money-tree perhaps? In truth, every dollar of this 11.2 million dollars is paid for by the taxpayer And he should have had the opportunity to vote on it. Louise O'Dea To the Editor: Two important points were made at last Monday nights m eeting on the issue of establishing the second MHCC campus in the Sandy-Hoodland area Firs, of all we all want what is best for our area The problem is that what is best for one person may not be the best for someone else So in order to work this issue out for the best, both sides, opposing and supporting must work together with positive attitudes There must not be a division of sides that will interfere with the ultimate goals All criticism must be constructive and not be in te rp re te d as anything personal between the opposing sides. The opinion shared by most everyone at the meeting is that there must be comprehensive planning to include the whole area (Sandy-Hoodland and on toward the Mountain) so there will no, be the same h e lte r - skelter development that is taking place in the Gresham area TYris planning must be done before a campus facility or any other industry or commercial developments are established in the Sandy- Hoodland area We as the opposing side cannot and will no, endorse a campus facility in this area without certain safeguards that will insure the best interests of all local residents of the Sandy- Htxxlland area It is going to lake a long time to develop any kind of Master Plan for the area and it is going to cost some money. So until there are some definite long range plans on the part of the city, county, and MHCC we will continue our movement of opposition Ken M iller PO Box 464 Sandy.

To the Editor: There is no way to reach the people other than via a letter to the editor and I wish to publicly express my gratitude to all who worked for my election and all who voted for me Although I did not win, it is quite evident that a good many Clackamas County citizens are very dissatisfied with the policies of R obert Schum acher since slightly over fifty per cent of the Democratic voters either voted for me or refused to vote for either one of us. We now have an opportunity to use this strength and have our voice heard.
