Monterey Jack is a mild
cheese that comes in creamy
white wheels or slices. If you’re
s ta rtin g your cheese ad­
ventures, begin w ith m ild
cheese before graduating to the
more flavorful and aromatic
ones. Monterey is especially
good in an open face sandwich
made with a slice of ham, then
topped with the cheese and
broiled long enough to melt the
cheese.
City moves to update
safety standards
Sandy City Building Official Tom Day
says that a safety program for Sandy is
long overdue.
Day was appointed safety director for
the city on Dec. 1.
“ We re trying to bring our standards up
to those made by the Occupational Safety
and Health Act tOSHAi,” says Day.
“ We re setting up a complete safety
program.”
Safety standards in Sandy are 30-50
years behind the safety standards found in
industry according to Day.
“ Safety standards were forced on in­
dustry. but not on us,” says Day. “ Then
finally Uncle Sam said, ‘You all w ill
comply,’ so we are no longer immune.”
Day says that it is a m atter of luck that
the city has such a good safety record to
date
“ We were standing in the meat gnnder
but the juice wasn’t turned on,” he claims.
A safety program is an attitude ad­
justment according to Day.
“ You have to get people to start thinking
safety Once you do that, you really have a
program,” he says
Day says in order to get the program
implemented
he w ill delegate respon­
sibilities to the various department heads
in the city to make physical inspections of
their plants.
“ We w ill hold safety meetings with
employees and try to make a community
attitude toward safety,” he says.
been solved yet.
The procedures which need to be
checked before a building permit may be
obtained are many according to Day.
For example, the zoning, the type of
occupancy, the grading, the curbs, the
signs and the plumbing are a few of the
items that must be investigated Building
permits are needed for everything from
putting in a swimming pool and building a
fence to constructing or moving a house.
The city chose to follow the 1973 Uniform
Building Code and the 1973 Uniform
Plumbing Code last year
“ B a sically, these codes don’ t le t
someone build a building that isn t
structurally sound," says Day.
The 1973 Oregon State Legislature
passed a law that w ill make all city and
counties in Oregon use the same building
code
According to Day, the 1973 Uniform
Building Code w ill be the one that the state
is most likely to adopt.
“ That's why we chose it,” he says.
Day is also responsible for the c ity ’s
nuisance ordinance, which, among other
things, prevents people from keeping old
refrigerator's and the like in their front
yards He is also responsible for the city
sign ordinance.
Awhile back, when Day was a little
frustrated with his job, he drafted a code of
ethics for the building department.
“ Basically, my job has to do with life,
health and w elfare," said Day. “ I want to
“ I DON’T believe in joining
something unless I plan to
make sure that everyone is treated
fa irly .”
Day says that each phase of his job is
time consuming. “ We had to completely
set up this department,” he says.
To keep up w ith the latest methods of
construction and new products, Day at­
tends short school at Oregon State
U n iv e rs ity in the spring and at
Washington State University in the fall.
Day moved to the Wildcat Creek area in
1950 and moved to Sandy four years ago
with his fam ily.
He is past president of the Mt. Hood
Lions Club, has served two terms on the

also secretary for the board of directors of

Names sought
for building wings
With the help of Sandy Union
High School students and Sandy
patrons, themes have been
submitted by the Sandy Cen­

Directors for the naming of the
several district buildings and
m ajor component wings.
The themes were reviewed
and final selections made. The

codes don't let someone build
a building that isn't struc­
turally sound.”
In the 1950’s, Day helped to organize the
Mt. Hood Industrial Safety Committee,
which involved local sawmills and loggers.
“ It really made quite a change and
saved them some money,” he says.
The OSHA program is a tough one, Day
says. “ The state is in charge of it, but they
comply with federal standards.”
Day adds that it w ill probably cost the
city up to $1,000 to bring city equipment up
to OSHA standards.
“ For one thing, we are going to have to
get back-up warning devices for the city
dump truck,” he says.
Day has been the building official for
Sandy for two years. However, he has only
been working fu ll tim e for the city since
July
During the firs t six months of 1973, Day
says that the building permits came to
$6,800 In the last six months, only $2,500
worth of permits were sold.
“That’s an indication of how much the
building in the area has gone down,” he
says.
The city presently has a m oritorium on
building because of a city water shortage
Day says that the ban could possibly be
lifted Jan 2 when the new planning
commission meets, but that he doubts it
w ill be lifted because the problem hasn’t
