Now president of the Metropolitan Fund, an urban affairs forum serving the Detroit region. Mathewsons topic w ill be “ Regional Citizenship, An Imperative for the F u tu re " It is intended to establish the framework for development of a regional citizen’s group “ We have planned a con ference format in which par ticipants w ill be encouraged to make some important com munity decisions,” said Dr. Ron Cease, chairman of the Tri-County Local Government Commission. The 65-member Tri-County Local Government Commission is proposing an amendment to the present M etro po lita n Service D istrict <MSD> statute which would p e rm it the transfer of planning acitivities now perform ed by the Columbia Region Association of Governments tCRAG» to the MSD The commission also is recom m ending that the governing body of the ex panding MSD be a 15-member d ire c tly elected p a rt-tim e council, and that the chief executive o ffic e r also be directly elected. The commission w ill be proposing legislation at the 1977 legislative session. “ We are aiming for an at tendance of 300 people at Critical Questions.” Cease said. “ We are calling the conference Critical Questions because we are asking for people’s reactions to our proposals and also hope to get some help on problems the comm ission has been strug glin g w ith — neigh borhood involvement, con solidation of special districts, and taxation problems where city residents are paying for both city and county services. “ Much of the commission’s work the next few months w ill be based on ideas coming out of t he co nf erence workshops,' ’ Cease said. Other conference sponsors include the First State Bank of Oregon, Pav*s. Biggs. Strayer, Stoel and Boley law firm , the Metropolitan Action Council and Coga n a nd Associates Nuclear fallout didn't hurt milk Oregon dairymen and the consumers who use their milk do not have to worry about their m ilk supply being con taminated by radiation as a result of the nuclear cloud that passed over Oregon Nov. 20. State Director of Agriculture Leonard Kunzman made this statement after the state’s dairymen had voiced concern about the safety of using their pasture lands The cloud was from the nuclear blast set off in the Peoples Republic of China The d irector said that preliminary reports indicate more fa llo ut occurred in and raw milk Sanitarians from the Oregon Department of Agriculture were taking special samples for the Division of Health this week The EPA has requested a sample from the Portland area only Routine samplings for testing by the Division of Health laboratory are taken by the sanitarians the first Monday of each month. Yearly routine samplings of raw m ilk are made for the EPA, with these samples sent to a federal laboratory in Nevada The EPA special samples are Oregon from a blast in the Peoples Republic of China that passed over Oregon in Sep tember and even then radiation levels were insignificant. The Oregon Department of Agriculture routinely takes monthly samplings of milk from seven different areas for testing by the Oregon Division of Health for nuclear radiation contamination. Other samplings are made on request for the Division of Health and the Federal E nviro nm e nta l Protection Agency. The samples taken for the EPA are pasteurized milk of pasteurized m ilk and are sent to a federal laboratory in Alabama for testing. Samples are taken on an area basis with the state divided into seven areas. These areas and the locations where the samples are taken are: eastern Oregon, LaGrande; central Oregon, Bend, north coastal area, Tillamook; mid-Willamette V alley. C o rv a llis ; south Willamette Valley, Eugene; southern Oregon, Medford, and Portland Sealed bidding ruled for timber Oregon and Washington national timber sales w ill be made only through sealed bids for at least the next few weeks, the Forest Service announced last week The service decided against granting exceptions to continue oral bidding to l l cities or towns that could have their local economies hurt by the decision. Nine of the towns are in Oregon and two are in Washington and a ll are dependent on national forests for more than half of their m ill timber of log supply. The could face supply shortages if m ill operators from outside areas successfully buy government timber through sealed bids The Oregon communities are Prineville, John Day, Bend. Redmond. Gilchrist. Hines, Burns, Lakeview and Brookings “ There was no clear evidence that the identified communities would be adversely affected by the interim sealed bidding procedures,” the Forest Ser vice said “ Therefore, the group recommended that sales to be awarded before April 1, 1977 be advertised by sealed bidding, except where oral auction is approved by the regional forester ” The bidding decision brought criticism from Sen. Mark Hatfield. R-Oregon, and Rep A1 L'llman, D-Oregon. The congressmen asserted in a letter to U S. Forest Service Chief John McGuire that the plans “ do not provide the degree of flexibility that may be necessary, in some c ir cumstances. to protect com munity stability and public welfare in many parts of the West.” Oral auctions allow a local bidder to continue increasing his bid to top the bid of an outside company A number of forests that postponed sales until the temporary rules were decided are scheduled to resume sales next week. Among them is Mt. Hood National Forest.

Groener, 34. upset incumbent candidate Tom Telford an eight-year veteran of the commission, in the November general election. However. Groener is not a newcomer to politics, having served two terms in the Oregon House. He has an arrogant style of politicking, is an effective speaker who is at his best when punctuating his message with debate from the audience, and is a charismatic campaigner who often wins converts after having appeared in person But Groener, by his own admisssion, has much to learn about county government before taking office in January. Veteran Commissioner Robert Schumacher said he and Commissioner Stan Skoko will meet next month in a “ remote place” with Groener to go into some uninterrupted cramming. Groener scores high points in human services, but is shakey when it comes to budgetary matters, in which he admits to having little expertise He lists improvement of low income housing as high on his list of priorities, and has said there is Flea market set at Sandy Grange a need for more housing for the elderly and the impoverished in Clackamas County. Groener said during his campaign that he wanted to remove Wally Telford, director to the county housing authority, from office. He stands by his statement and claims that the day he takes office “ won’t be too soon ’ to remove him The commissioner-elect said he wants to bring a more progressive attitude to county politics and policies but said he needs more time to decide on wha t specifically he w ill do as a commissioner. Both Skoko and Schmuacher believe Groener can make it as a county commissioner, but add that he needs a little seasoning before he can dry the wet spots behind his ears. ’S Instant Santa Claus Pictures A beautiful color picture of your child with Santa Claus.
