THURSDAY. FEB 8. 1973 Centennial Year Starts The Sandy Centennial and Barlow Road Days celebration in Sandy will get into full swing this weekend. Sunday will be the day with the major events, but for those of you hunting for a good place for dinner Saturday try the AFS dinner at the high school. There will be several visiting ex change students and it would be tremendous for us to show our "Centennial spirit" by attending the dinner and other activities planned. Sunday morning you can head for the Boring 4-H breakfast at the Boring grade school and then get ready for the community beef dinner and other activities at the high school. The Post Office will also be holding an open house Sunday afternoon and the dedication ceremony is set for 3 p m. at the city hall. This is just the start of the Cen tennial year here and we look forward to it getting off to a good start. Citizen participation will be a key factor in helping the Centennial year be a success. No Amnesty for Draft Dodgers We couldn't let President Nixon s stand this week on amnesty for draft dodgers pass us up w ithout some kind of com m ent—mostly in the a f firmative. Of course the Vietnam war has been ‘a miserable affair that we will w ant to forget. There's no argument in that. Still, we can't condone the actions of Those who chose to skip the country «and bury their heads in the sand while .others in their age bracket did the ;work for them. • The individuals who left the country to evade the draft made their choice at that time; they took their chances crossed the borders. As President Nixon stated, they don't have to come back now—they are welcome to stay where they are. If amnesty w ere granted, what kind of reaction could we expect from those w ho accepted the draft call into the Armed Forces and served their time? They didn't want to go. either It is sad And it is ironic, too. Now we no longer have a draft. Group formed to fight Sandy as 'Scenic River' * Property owners opposed to i the designation of a scenic . waterway on the Sandy River » have informed Governor Tom McCall of their plan to create an association resisting creation of the waterway. Approximately 100 persons met last Wednesday in Sandy to form an association to protest the waterway status proposed by the Oregon State Highway- department. The group was scheduled to meet again Wednesday. Feb 7. at 7 30 p m in the Odd Fellows Hall. Sandy, to adopt a name for the association and elect officers Instrumental in forming the group are M r and Mrs. Glenn Nelson, Rt. 3. Box 972. Trout dale The Nelsons recently- purchased property on the Sandy within the 12.5 mile stretch of the river proposed for the waterway. "We attended both hearings held by the state on Jan. 23 and 24, said Mrs Nelson, "We feel the scenic water rules are very restrictive We sent out in vitations to all property owners who will be affected by the designation to meet on Jan 31 at Sandy " A wire to Governor McCall sent by the Nelsons this week stated. “ Of the 107 present at the meeting. 34 per cent were opposed to naming 12.5 miles of the Sandy as a scenic w ater way .” The Nelsons further asked McCall to delay signing the act until an independent study can be made by an im p a rtia l commission. T hey also requested an environmental impact study and study of the restricted and limited road access to the riv e r in regard to fire p ro tection , law en forcem ent and rescue problems Association m em bers are collecting petitions in op position to the waterway for presentation to McCall Mrs Nelson said the new association has funds coming in to organize a fight against the proposal The money w ill be used to pay an attorney A professional public relations firm and a lobbyist have also been suggested. “ We hope for wide support from the community,” said Mrs Nelson. “The state claims it w ill preserve the river We don't think they will. For in stance, the limited access to the river won’t include present roads into Dodge and Oxbow Parks The roads w ill probably be improved drawing large crowds from Portland." “ We a lre a d y have dope, liquor nudity, litter and all kinds of problems along the river Clackamas County law enforcem ent o ffic ia ls claim they can’t control it now Even rescue is a problem. In many places along the river the only way to get in is by helicopter and then it's usually too late.” Five new homes slated During the month of January , the city of Sandy approved building permits for an estimated total of 8671.396 The largest was a 8571,000 building permit for the new addition to the upper grades at Sandy grade school.

Mr Abelsen of the Sheriffs union, for almost six months until an impasse was declared at which tim e C o m m is s io n e r Schumacher, the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners at that time, and Commissioner T e lfo rd continued the negotiations and both signed the union agreement which contained ( l i a salary increase of 5 per cent for fifteen (15) employees in the Command Section of the Sheriff’s department in lieu of overtime The State law says we shall pay overtime for any person, other than an elected official, who works more than eight hours in one day or 40 hours in one week. This action will in my opinion save the County 85.000 in the next six months because all overtime for these 15 men has been waived for a 5 pel cent increase in salary (2) Medical coverage for the spouse and fa m ily as a negotiated item The union asked for medical coverage of the spouse and fam ily and dental coverage for the entire fam ily The dental coverage was denied and the spouse and fam ily medical coverage was approved by C om m issioner Schum acher and C om missioner Telford (3) Providing a 810,000 life insurance policy for all com m issioned o fficers of the S h e riff’s o ffice, which is m an d ato ry by State law starting July 1, 1873 I voted to start the insurance January 1, 1973 due to the low premium of 83 60 per month which covers the deputy sheriff 24 hours a day and is payable to his wife and fam ily on death for any cause, including a suicide (I pay 819 00 per month for my government 810.000 G .I. in surance ) The 110,0000 in surance is provided in addition to the now existing 84,000 in surance provided for all county employees because the existing 84,000 insurance cannot qualify to be credited to the 810;000 insurance requiremtnt of the State law and I am sure Commissioner Stef am is aware of this I don’t think Com missioner Stefan i appreciates the fact that our Deputy Sheriffs lay their life on the line 5 days a week for the people of Clackamas County The illegal retroactive pay, as claimed by Commissioner Stefani, is in accordance with the union agreement, and is a m a tte r of opinion and if Commissioner Stefani thinks the union agreement is illegal, he should report the m atter to the Grand Jury as it was negotiated by Commissioner Schum acher and Com- missioner Telford in good faith and upon advice from a deputy of th e C lackam as County District Attorney’s office. elsewhere We try to instill in our children that everyone is d iffe re n t but they can be respected for their differences and God loves us all We are very sorry to learn that M r Park could not be used as a voluntary teachers aide in our schools This person is a fine fam ily man, enjoys his children and spends a lot of time leaching them I, seems to us that the school could use a man of this caliber working with the children So many children are missing the father image in their families and need it for normal mental growth. The Sandy Post stated in the paper that more voluntary •eacher aides were needed but if the school cannot accept a person qualified like M r Park some of the rest of us feel very reluctant and unqualified to volunteer Mr and Mrs Dwayne Vedder P O Box 225 Sandy, Oregon 97055 To the Editor: We wish to commend and thank the members of the Sandy F ire Dept with the assistance of the Boring and Estacada F ire Depts, for the re m a rk a b le w ay they con tained the fire that began in the apartment below the C v ’i r Plaza Store Their speed, efficiency, an«, teamwork kepi the names from completely destroying Cedar Plaza Dept Store, the Sandy Travel Service, and the other businesses in the building We are very proud of our fine Fire Dept , and we extend our sincere gratitude to each and every member Warren and Elaine Decker Sandy W E A TH ER H L Pr.
