SANDY, OREGON, THU RSD AY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1974
The State Fair, Whither Now?
The Oregon State Fair has had
more publicity in the past six months
than perhaps at any time in its
history.
Basically, the issue is simple:
As a self-supporting agency (i.e., no
tax monies), the Fair can’t struggle
along much longer. Its buildings are
deteriorating rapidly and thus far, the
State Legislature has been unwilling
to provide any general fund monies
for improvement.
Hence, the question, “Do we really
need a state fair?”
Some Oregonians could care less
about a state fair. It’s a sort of
anachronism in today’s sophisticated
society, they say.
But is it? Half a million people
attend the Fair each year and they
obviously d isag ree . So would a
majority of the state’s legislators, we
think.
But the legislature rapidly is being
forced into a position where it will
have to decide whether or not the Fair
will continue.
A three-man interim committee
(Reps. Akeson and Hansel, and Sen.
Potts) is studying the problem and
will report to the 1975 legislature.
Rep. Hansel already has said he
believes the F air should be continued
and in its present location.
The F air doesn’t need a lot of
g en eral-fu n d m oney. It is self-
supporting and pays its own way. But
it can’t generate enough revenue to
build new buildings or repair old ones.
This is where it needs help from the
legislature.
The F air is truly a statewide
venture. Locally, for instance, Bob
Scott of Mt. Hood C om m unity
College, spends two weeks each
summer as director of admissions.
Mrs. Cheryl Carlson, a Gresham
housewife heads the home economics
departm ent, and Lee Irwin, Outlook
publisher, is a m em ber of the State
Board. Moreover, scores of local
youngsters compete in 4-H and FFA
events, and local farm s and industry
are well represented in exhibits.
Some legislators have proposed
moving the Fairgrounds closer to
Portland, perhaps near Wilsonville.
But this isn’t likely to happen since a
reversion clause provides that the
present 181-acre Fairgrounds would
revert to original owners should the
Fair be moved.
Again, the 1975 legislature will have
to bite the bullet, will have to decide if
general funds monies should be
provided the Fair. Whatever your
feelings, let your legislator know.
They need advice from their con­
stituents.
Bell rings at Sandy Ridge
The old school bell is ringing again at the
Sandy Ridge School.
Sandy’s Latchkey program is now ready
and waiting to enroll area children.
A staff of five is offering an array of
learnin g activities before and a fte r
regular school hours, two miles south of
Sandy on Highway 211 in the personable
old Sandy Ridge School.
Unfortimately, staff members explain,
most people in the Sandy area are
basically unfamiliar with the advantages
of a Latchkey program.
Gym nastics, n utritio n , education,
cooking, an assortment of arts and crafts
activities, along with basic tutoring is
offered at the Sandy Ridge Latchkey
school.
And, of course, care from the ex­
perienced staff, and a good time with other
kids is a natural part of the program,
smiles Latchkey teacher Rita Seidel.
Because the program has openings for
only 40 children, Paul Drews, school
director, encourages parents to contact he
or Jo Ayers, program director, at 668-4822
or 233-2335 or 668-6503
Tuition cost at the school is based on a
sliding fee scale, which takes into special
consideration a fam ily’s income and size.
Drews, appointed to the director’s post
two weeks ago, comes to the Sandy Lat­
chkey program after serving in the same
capacity for a Latchkey program in
Portland.
Mrs. Ayers has instructed physical
education, dance and gymnastics at
school’s in the Lynch district. Mrs. Seidel
has a degree in sociology. Mrs. Doris
Shelton, another Latchkey teacher here,
taught at Sandy Union High School for two
years and has a degree in art and home
economics

taken under the plan, Herman said
citizens' rights to appeal a local action by
petition was removed from later versions
of the bill.
“In the case of private citizens, they can
not appeal to the commission any action
taken under an existing comprehensive
plan, zoning ordinance or regulation where
the plan, ordinance or regulation is not
itself being appealed as in violation of
interim or final goals.”
Another suit against the Cedar Ridge
development has been filed by two
Hoodland property owners asking the
county’s conditional use agreement to be
nullified since approval had been given on
“conclusions not supported by evidence."

LETTERS To The EDITOR
To the Editor:
The article titled “Federal
Money Aids City” appearing on
the editorial page of the Aug. 22
issue of the Sandy Post
deserves a second reading. For
those who missed it, the lead
paragraph states “during fiscal
73-74 the City of Sandy spent
$53,068.22 of federal revenue
sharing funds on a variety of
projects.”
The
closing
paragraph reads, “ These
projects were accomplished
without using any tax dollars.”
Though the article was un­
signed, I would like to ask the
writer just where he thinks
those federal funds come from :
Those monies are our tax
dollars too! Too many public
officials and private citizens
who are pushing for adoption of
pet projects use this con game
to dupe fuzzy thinking persons
into the belief that “ federal
grants,
m atching
funds,
revenue sharing, etc.” are free
dollars from the federal
government in Washington.
Everyone should know better
when they file their federal
income tax return on April 15.

To the Editor:
It ’s time someone challenged
government over-spending. We
tend to get lost in the large
bureaucracies, but by golly we
can protest, loud and clear the
ridiculous spending of our own
state legislature.
The best way to get the
message to our elected
representatives is to vote them
out of office if they participated
in the 100 per cent increase for
their own expenses.
The 1971 legislature spent $3
million and the 1973 legislature
will have spent $6 million
dollars before they are through.
R e m e m b e r g o ve rn m e n t
spending is the chief cause for
inflation. Let’s elect people like
Marge Woodall in District 26,
who realizes the problem and
promises to do what she can
with a remedy.

To the Editor
Your editorial, “A place for
the automobile” , shows the
greed which sm all com­
munities exist on. The Portland
politicians have done us a great
favor by killing the Mt. Hood
freew ay. Sandy and the
Hoodland valley will not now
become instant suburbs of
Portland. We w ill have a
chance to develop in our own
right.
Although I am sure many
local businessmen would profit
from masses of people, visiting
and living up the mountain, I
think they would find all the
money they would make would
not replace the living en­
vironment they now have. I for
one support the P ortland
politicians. Anything they can
do to keep the folks in town is
fine with me. If all those people
must come to the mountain,
let’s have them come only for a
couple days and by bus so that
our forests and fields don’t
become asphalt tombs.
