Sandy has chance to gain acclaim If other civic organizations are willing to help pick up the ball Sandy Civic Services set in motion Tuesday evening, all spotlights would be on Sandy come Bi- Centennial celebration time next year Beginning next July, throughout the nation, communities will celebrate the second lOOth anniversary of this country. The Clackamas County director of the B i-C entennial celebration told re p re sentatives from Sandy last week that if their town so desires it can kick off the celebration for the entire county. Bi-Centennial officials at the county level told Sandy Mayor Melvin Haneberg and Gary Sandblast,representing Sandy that they would prefer this town have a chance at the unique anniversary rather than Lake Oswego, Oregon C ity, Milwaukie or other county cities who typically enjoy such notariety. Sandblast said the kick-off would probably be scheduled soon after July 4 next year. He said a three day celebration would begin with a Miss Bi-Centennial of Clackamas County coronation, followed by county-wide parades, carnivals and would climax with an official ceremony, com plete with celebrities and guest V .I.P . speakers. It was suggested Tuesday evening that Sandy events such as the Kiwanis Fly-in breakfast and the Sandy Mountain Festival could be dovetailed into the three- day time scheduled. During the next two weeks, all member organizations of Sandy Civic Services will be asked to support the proposal as made by the Clackamas County director of the Bi-Centennial celebration. “This is the kind of widespread attention our town needs and deserves,” said Sandblast, " It ’s a chance we shouldn’t pass up ” The mayor and Sandblast are scheduled to bring back Sandy’s answer on the Bi- Centennial kick-off opportunity at a meeting with representatives from each city in the county the first of September. Sandy High School students who haven’t Sandblast said those persons who would previously registered for school this fall or be willing to help work on the proposed who are new to the district should register celebration or who would like to learn anytime Aug. 7, 8, and 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 more about the proposal should write p.m. in the library at the high school.

F a v o ra b le comments seemed com monplace this week in assessing the first annual bluegrass festival and arts and crafts fair. Good words came from festival sponsors, Timberline Lodge personnel, Forest S ervice o fficials, Hoodland businessmen, and, of course, festival goers “We don’t plan to make a steady diet of this, but we sure had a great tim e,” said D ick Kohnstam m , area operator of Timberline Lodge. W hile Kohnstam m adm its he was forewarned the festival could present problems, he said no major hassles arose during the three day event. “We had no pilfering or vandalism at the lodge,” said Kohnstamm. According to the 20 year veteran lodge operator, T im berline witnesses expanded crowds during the three day event, but “this still didn’t present the physical impact on the lodge that a big ski weekend does.” "Wet ski boots and dripping inner tubes present a far greater threat to the lodge than a group of suntan hippies,’’ summed up Kohnstamm. He added that the majority of folks at the outdoor festival remained outside the majestic lodge. “We lost a few petunias and that’s about it.” How ever, state police officials in Government Camp weren't quite as ec static about the affair. Besides en countering a heavier traffic volume, state police say one rape was reported in Timberline’s parking area and a lodge employee was assaulted while directing tra ffic S aturday. Jerald W. P o tte rf, Wemme, is in critical condition in Gresham C om m unity Hospital a fte r suffering, head lacerations. Also, some area residents are still ex pressing dismay that a “rock fest” was allowed on public land. The festival kicked off Friday night with ss sounds to a crowd of 2,000 T H E F IR S T annual bluegrass festival and arts fair brought hordes of young music lovers to Tlmberline Lodge last weekend. people. A reported 7,000 squeezed into the parking lot in front of the lodge Saturday. T im b e rlin e ’s parking area became stuffed, the road leading off Highway 28 to the lodge was closed, and access was prov.ded solely by constant shuttle bus service from Government Camp. True bluegrass buffs set off up the seven mile road to the lodge on foot. An estimated 5,000 persons visited the festival Sunday. “We were very pleased with the festival,” expressed Warren Olney, head resource assistant with the ZigZag Ranger District. “A lot more people showed up than we had expected, but the crowd was always w e ll behaved and gave us good cooperation.” Olney pointed out that those who camped overnight near the lodge and built fires, did so outside of critical vegetation areas. He said trampling was minimal. Hoodland Rescue and Emergency Care members include: Kirk Worrall, Jeff Lockting, Nancy McAbery, Creta Evans, Bob Fry, Jim Gillies, Sally Hoffman, Carol Druelle, Riley Caton, Hank Em ery, Glen Eden, Gary Cleland and Bernie Sperley. They have worked out a 24-hour a day on-call system Out of the 14 rescuers, Mrs. McAbery said usually six are on call at a time. Once notified of an emergency, the volunteers contact each other by phone The organization has one radio also The anxious volunteers don't charge funds Their services come completely free-of-charge Therefore, a dance has been set for next Thursday night in the Lion's Club Hall in Wemme at 7:30 p.m. to help raise funds for a rescue vehicle, oxygen tanks, back- boards, climbing equipment, and other necessary gear for the budding rescue organization. Presently, members drive their own cars to emergencies and accidents. Refreshments, including beer, and live music will be featured at the benefit dance. An admission fee will be charged. Anyone wishing to make monetary donations to the volunteer, non-profit emergency service group should send them to P.O Box 73. Rhododendron Also, anyone who wishes to join the organization or find out more about it should write this The night's agenda also calls for a review of a plan for possible commercial development at H ighw ay 26 and Langensand Road by Jerry Lawson, local realtor. Joe DeMarsh, Sandy Union High School superintendent, and Martin Boatwright, city engineer, will also present cost estimates on straightening Bluff Road in front of the high school. A pedestrian hazard existing along this stretch of road was discussed at the council's last meeting Other agenda topics for next week's council meeting include discussion of an ordinance to adopt the State Building Code, and approval of a supplemental budget for the city's senior dtisen's program. men reflected similar consent. At Hoodland A.G. no problems were reported other than an empty pop cooler. Beer and ice were other commodities that vanished rapidly from mountain stares at a quicker than average pace last weekend By 8:30 Sunday evening the parking area was spic and span. Down the mountain at Sentry Market in Rhododendron, A1 Moore, store manager, said he had less confusion in his place of business last weekend than on a heavy ski weekend. “These kids behaved real well,” lauded Moore. A survey of other mountain business- The ceremony marked the first time women had been ordained as priests in the Episcopal church Two full commercial beer trucks went empty at Timberline. Festival goers also consumed a phenomenal two tans of watermelon and 50 dozen eggs during the special bluegrass weekend at the majestic lodge. D ave Roberts, m anager of the Huckleberry Inn at Government Camp said the festival definitely aided his business too, and hopes another bluegrass festival will happen in the future. Sponsor spokesmen said this week in Portland that if another festival was held, more effort would be made in limiting the crowd size. the new priests will not be allowed to work as priests because the four bishops who conducted the ceremony exceeded their authority. There was celebration mixed with some catcalls and boos as the Rev. Alla Bozarth Campbell and ten other candidates un derwent the church ritual. Tuesday the head of the Episcopal Church, the Rt. Rev. John M. Allin, said A full agenda faces the Sandy city council at their next meeting set for Monday, Aug. 5, at 7:30 in the council chamber at city hall. One of the structures is located on Tupper Road, tax lot 200, owned by Clif ford Nasshahn and rented by Bradley Watson The other is # barn owned by Mrs. Ellis Todd at 704 SW Sandy Heights Road. According to the ranger, when campers were asked to put out their fires Sunday they complied. In fact, excluding traces of nudity and an occasional cloud of marijuana smoke amidst the fiddle and stand-up bass sounds, the biggest no-no at the festival seemed to be garbage But, just before the last band finished at the end of the third day. Forest Service personnel handed out garbage sacks to the crowd and everyone pitched in on the clean-up crew.
