The site of this revival is an unobtrusive store tucked behind the Strawberry Basket in downtown Boring Called Dorothy's Family Tree, this family is reaf firming its roots in ways other than searching for its genealogical lineage, as the name might suggest. The Linker family of Milwaukie has compiled its artistic resources in this small store featuring a potpourri of silver works, stained glass, macrame. pottery, metal sculptures and antiques Classes in stained glass making are also offered at the store, which opened in October. Dorothy Unker said she decided to locate in Damascus because she knew the owner of the Strawberry Basket And she also is very fam iliar with the area, having attended Sandy High School. “ I really like the country out here,” Linker said “ And the drive from Milwaukie is A workforce of approximately 1000 is busy building PGE’s coal-tired generating plant at Boardman in north central Oregon and since it was begun in February, 19**6, overall construc tion is 52 percent com plete and engineering is approximately at the 85 percent mark.

Although the label may sound like more bureauc racy, Stevenson said the new section means people no longer need to shuffle from one county employee to another when confronted with several neighborhood problems. The Code Compliance Section handles all Land- related violations no matter how many departments or separate ordinances are involved "Although people know when a problem exists, they probably won’t know which ordinance or department is involved." Stevenson said "With the new section, that knowledge is unnecessary” Complaints about a failing septic tank, junk cars, or trash in the lot next door, illegal land uses and violations of the building code can be handled by one phone call to the Code Compliance Section. Previously, such calls went to several sections, each with specific responsibilities The Soils Section handled septic tank problems The Solid SPECIAL Buy M o th er a gift CERTIFICATE or . . . .
