Voters strike out tax levies Voter» struck down two big levies in the Sandy-Woodland area by considerable margins Tuesday. Sandy High School's $1,184,495 1975-76 budget request was turned down 426 to 275, and a Government Camp Sewer bond was flushed by 21 no votes to 3 yes votes Two Sandy Union High School board positions were also decided at the polls this week. Tedmond D Wright, running unopposed on the Welches ticket Position Two, received 378 votes Wayne H Johnson, in cumbent, * defeated Oran Denhart 256 to 220 for Position Pour on the board, represen- ting the Cottrell area Both are members of the Cottrell Grade School District Board Last year d istrict voters approved a $948,844 budget with a $5.67 per $1,000 tax rate. The high school’s proposed budget reflected the school’s operational costs and called for no new projects The rate on the defeated levy had been estimated at $6 76 per $1,000 of assessed value outside the six per cent limitation. The school had gone to its patrons with the annual budget request earlier this year in hopes of saving money on early purchases of items necessary to the school’s operation G overnm ent Camp Sewer Winterwood first phase approved The county commissioners voted 2 1 this week to approve a sone change to allow construction of the first phase of the proposed 32 W acre W interwood development at Government Camp. The sone change approval from K K to M R -l will allow construction of 52 two and three story condominium units on 3 5 acres on the east side of the Multorpor Ski Bowl parking lot This zone change request was given an earlier denial by the County Planning Commission due to its proposed scale and density and an inadequate sewerage situation at Government Camp Commissioner Stan Skoko, who ruled against the zone change appeal Monday, said he felt the scale density of the 52 unit condominium plan did not comply with the Mt. Hood Community Plan. However, fellow commission members Robert Schumacher and Tom Telford indicated the proposal did not fit within the guidelines of the Mt. Hood plan. Schumacher noted the inadequacies in the area's sewer system, explaining he felt they could be worked out. He said the development will meet an overshelming need for housing in the area. Telford echoed Schumacher’s rationale and declared that Winterwood's phase one lies within strict accordance of the Mt. Hood plan Skoko argued the development would be premature before completion of the Mt. Hood Interagency plan which will be a comprehensive determination of the en vironmental capacity in the area Decision due on Hoodland shopping complex Monday A decision on a zone change request to allow a commercial development on the east edge of the Hoodland Plaza shopping center in Wemme will be announced by the Clackamas County Planning Commission Monday al7p .m in the county courthouse.

The yellow bloom of Tansy Ragwort will soon be reappearing in the fields and forests of the Sandy-Boring-Hoodland area. Tansy Ragwort is poisonous to livestock and causes a considerable dollar loss in livestock deaths each year. Potentially, the economic impact of Tansy Ragwort could become much more severe than it is today if aggressive control measures are not pursued, according to Dan Lowrie, Clackamas County Extension Agent. Control of this noxious biennial can be achieved with a spray program utilizing 2 .4-D low volatile ester at a rate of 3 pounds in fifty gallons of water. A thorough foliage application between April 1 and May 15 has given the best results in the past. Care should be taken to spray on a warm, (65-80 degrees) calm day, says Lowrie.

During the past year Armintrout has put in 350 hours as an E M T instructor and clocked 40 hours attending fire schools outside the district.
