NOV 20, 1975 No. 52 Library board to meet tonight The Sandy City Library Board will meet at 8 tonight in city hall to discuss funding of the library The Sandy City Council, as well as governments in other Clackamas County cities has expressed concern over the contribution the county makes to the operation of the various city libraries. City Manager Carl Hatfield says that current figurrs indicate that 2,830 of the city's 3,338 library patron* are from outside the city. "The county contributed *7,993 to the library this year while the total city library expenses were(25,383 " Hatfield says that the "inequitable" funding needs to be corrected some way. Charles Erasier of the Sandy Library Board said thatsomeof the city manager's figures used to arrive at his totals were wrong. "Without the county's services all our library would have is books," Frasier said. The board member said his group will attempt to propose some alternative to barring or charging a fee for out of city patrons use of library facilities. Milwaukie has proposed a *15 a year fee for any non-resident family wishing to use itslibiary. "That would just drive people away from the library," Erasier says. Hatfield said that following tonigjit's meeting of the library board a joint sessnon of the city council and the board win be set* Post plans new office building A zone change which, if approved, will lead to construction of a new building for the Sandy Post, will be considered by the Sandy Planning Commission Wednesday, Dec 3. The Post is asking that property directly behind the Shell station at the intersection of Bluff Road and Highway 28 be resoned from multiple family residential (R-3) to general commercial (C-2). If approval is given by the Planning Commission and later the city council, the Post plans to erect a new building on the site State to help with plowing Snow plowing on access roads and parking lots of all Oregon ski areas will be done by the State Highway Division with the aid of area operators, according to an igreement between the Highway Division ind the Pacific Northwest Ski Areas Association (PNSAA). The state Transportation Commission last year voted to eliminate all funds for snow removal at ski resorts, but the High way Division has included (500.000 in the 1975 76 biennial budget for snow removal at ski resorts off state highways. That is half the amount of the last biennial budget The division will continue to plow all state highways, including six-mile road to Timberline Lodge, in addition to using the SiMMI.mm budgeted for off-highway roads and parking lots If the cost of snow removal during the season exceeds the amount budgeted, the ski area operators will he billed for the overrun, Keith Petrie, PNSAA president said Each of the 16 operators involved will sign an agreement with Don Haller, maintenance management engineer in charge of snow removal “ The agreement benefits the state, which collects almost as much gas tax from skiers as it puts out for snow removal,” Petrie said. "And It helps the ski industry, which brings about »35 million into the state every winter, not to mention serving the state’s 250,000 skiers." The agreement is the result of prolonged negotiations between the PNSAA and state officials and legislators Lee Irwin, Post publisher, said "W e’re very excited about the obvious growth potential of the entire Sandy area and we warn to be a part of that growth We think our commitment to a new building demonstrates our faith in Sandy " Irwin indicated that the new building would be sim ilar in concept, but obviously much smaller in size, to that now housing The Gresham Outlook, companion publication to the Post. "We plan a building that not only will fit in well with the surroundings but which also will be a credit to the community." The Post has been located in rental property at 118 Mam Street for about 15 years It serves not only Sandy and en virons but also the Hood-Land area as far a* Government Camp, the Eagle Creek area, and those parts of the Boring area included in the Sandy High School district If rezomng is approved and necessary architectural details can be completed, work on the new building would begin next spring The Post has been under present ownership since early in 1961 when it was acquired from Tom Purcell, loi^tim e publisher of The Gresham Outlook Sandy High alums plan dance The annual Sandy High School alumni dance will be held next Saturday at 9:30 p m.in the Cosmopolitan Airtel at 5221 NE 82nd Ave. In Portland The special get-together will honor the graduating class of 1950 Live music will be provided Admission proceeds will goto the school's scholarship fund Eor more information contact Sheila Jones, 868-8332; Joann Tuma, 255-3509; or Janet Fox, 659-4002 Drill aids rescuers by Howard Scott Post editor While Hoodland shoppers made their weekend purchases Saturday at the Hoodland Park Plaza shopping center,four rescue and fire departments worked to save victims in a car-bus wreck right on the center's parking lot. Fortunately, the whole affair, from the setting up of the collision to treatment at Gresham Community Hospital, was a planned drill for the groups involved. Hank Emery of Hoodland Rescue spent the past four months organizing the drill for his volunteer group, and Hoodland, Sanuy and Boring volunteer fire depart ments " It was planned as a test of how well we could handle such a situation." Emery said. " In addition to the volunteers and the hospital, we were helped by the Clackamas County Sheriffs office, Port land G eneral E le c tric and Alpine Ambulance ” Em ery also offered his thanks to 27 drama students and their teacher from Sandy Union HighSchool who acted as the victims of the accident "Without them it wouldn't have worked They were just fantastic." The scenario of the drill called for a collision between a bus full of weekend skiers and an automobile. "W e have more than 200 buses coming up and down the mountain on a winter weekend," Emery said "So this drill was much more realistic for us than say having a plane crash on the grade school " The would-be accident was caused when the bus driver suffered a heart attack. In order to provide more of a challenge to the rescuers, the make believe disaster left one side of the bus blocked requiring efforts to remove the injured to be made only through the emergency exit and the windows on one side of the vehicles MHCC district financial posture drooping, president says Behind the picturesque walls of Mt. Hood Community College a financial crisis is brewing. Pres Earl Klapatein said this week Equipment at the 10 year institution is wearing out, inflation ¡sealing away al the tax base and enrollment is running far ahead of the projections on which state financial aid is bast'd "What you've taken 10 years to develop is at a crossroads," Klapstein said. In his annual report to the chamber, Klapstein said a five-year serial levy that will go to voters Jan 13 could make or break the college If that bond issue fails, Klapstein said he would ask the district board "to try, try again before dismantling 10 years of work." The proposed serial levy would raise»2 3 million each year for five years Without additional funding, the college would have to reverse directions, Klapstein said Because of enrollment increases and the financial squeeze, it already appears that enrollment at the school will have to be limited by this spring. Part of the college's problem is its success, Klapstein said " If we weren't serving the community, there wouldn't be an enrollment problem ” A recent survey conducted by the college through an independent polling service indicates that most district patrons are happy with the college's performance, Klapstein said Ninly per cent of the people surveyed said they were very satisfied or quite satisfied with the results being achieved by the college, Klapstein said. Another 8 4 per cent said they were not ttwN satisfied with the college's per formance; I 2 per cent said they were not at all satisfied "The college you know today is really on»« of the best in the country," Klapstein said " I wish that the chamber could invite students from the campus, whether they're in the 18 20 age group or 35 age group or over 50 age group. Io have them tell you what I hey think about the college ” Some criticism of the institution is to be expected, Klapstein said However, the college is at the top of the list in terms of coal eff icienty statewide, he said MHCC has fewer dollars behind each student than any other community college in the state The college has the lowest administrative costs among community colleges statewide, he said Since lj)e college was f<>rmed in 1966, it has grow n from MN) students who studied m trailers at the old Multnomah County fairgrounds, to the 12,000 full and part- time students now enrolled In addition to classes at the main campus, courses are also available at the Maywood Park extension campus and the new storefront center at Mall 205, Klap stein said Courses an- also offered through area high schools The college offers Community .School classes at elementary schools, where volunteers from the community teach a variety of classes and fees are only * ’. or *2 Additional programs in the immediate future will probably be housi'd in existing community facilito*, Klapstein said. If the Jan 13 serial levy is approv ed, the increase in the tax rate per *1.000 of assessed valuation would average 15 cents per year, K lapstem said The tax rale this year is *2 23 per *1.000 ot assessed valuation Other twists to the plot included spilled gasoline <indicated by a "puddle" of sheets of paper), a downed power line (a rope tied to a light pole) draped across two victims, and several "hysterical" parents and would-be first aiders assigned by Em ery to get in everyone’s way. "The people were sent in to harass the crews to see how well the departments could handle spectators,” Emery ex plained. From the time the first "call" went in for rescue workers until the last victim was ready for the ride to the hospital took only 45 minutes Because the d rill was an ex« rise a’,1 not a real disaster Sandy s participants did not bring their department’s rescue rig Boring provided the older of its two units and only one ambulance was actually a t the scene. "The equipment had to be available in case of a real emergency. In fact we also made it a point to avoid using the fire radio network so the channels could be kept open." After the victims were treated and removed from the bus and wrecked automobile, all but four were loaded back onto the bus for the ride to the hospital The other four made the 40-minutc ride down the mountain in the ambulance “ Only three people at the hospital had been involved in planning for the drill," Holiday changes delivery date Because there will be no mail delivery on Thanksgiving day. next week's issue of the Post will be received by subscribers on Eriday.

News stories and display advertising must be at the Post by 5 p m. Tuesday and classified advertising is due by noon Tuesday. Em ery said, "we called just as we left the shopping center, so the hospital staff had only as much notice as they would have if the disaster hadbeen for real.” As the volunteer victims were brought through the doors of the hospital a physician swiftly determined their con dition as stated on one card stating the injuries of each and another explaining what first aid had been provided at the accident scene.
