Brochis spent two and a half years as an ap praiser for Clackamas County During that time, he said, he got a feel for the political ideals of nor them Clackamas County as he traveled through the area That feeling, he said, was enhanced two years ago when he ran unsuccessfully for County Ap praiser, losing by 10 percent of the vote in the prim ary A Klamath Falls native. Brochis Jin» Brochis has lived in Estacada for the past five years He and his uife, Deb bie, have two children. Alexa, 5, and John. 16 months "Oregon is energy deficient. Brochis said "E ighty seven per cent of Oregon's total energy sup plies come from outside the borders "The Oregon Legislature must create legislation which w ill give tax incentives for the research and development of alternative energy sources ” Brochis feels that public policy should be geared to crime control or crim e prevention "A major result of the United States heavy reliance on laws for social control is the problem of selective enforcement," he said "Business needs investment tax credits that w ill allow partial financing from cash flow, so that the business doesn’t have to take loans for investments on projects at interest rates close to 20 per cent." Brochis said "W e must go to California's Silicon V alley and get high- technology electronics companies to open in Oregon," he said, "using Oregon workers " Brochis said he believes the state must protect its farm and timber lands "Oregon’s prim ary source of wealth and economic strengths are the tim ber and farm products grown in rural areas.” he said "Forest products and agricultural products are Oregon's two biggest industries ” Sandy postmaster urges early mailing The Postal Service is joining forces with the San dy business com m unity this year to urge customers to shop early and mail e a r ly for Christmas P o s tm a s te r A rn o ld Becker officially declared the start of the Christmas shopping season by asking shoppers to assist with the Christmas mailing crunch by shopping early and mailing early Cards and parcels w ill reach their destination in plenty of tim e for the holidays, if customers w ill start early, make certain that mail is correctly ad dressed and that packages are p ro p e rly wrapped, Becker said The key to successful holiday mailing is to mail early and correctly That includes planning now for gifts that must travel a lo n g d is ta n c e by Christmas "M any overseas mailing dates—including those for the a rm e d fo rc e s overseas—occur d u rin g this month," Becker said "M ailers can get specific information on the interna tional dates by calling us Storm damage could mean deductions Sandy area residents who suffered substantial property damage in last weekend's windstom may be eligible for federal tax breaks to help cover losses However, documentation is required to support casualty loss deductions, said IKS D istrict Director T B lair Evans He said that most casual ty loss deductions claimed by Oregonians on federal tax returns for ice storm damage in 1980 and earlier are being disallowed in IKS audits He said the main reason is in a d e q u a te documentation Although last weekend's losses cannot be deducted until the 1981 federal return is filed, taxpayers should determine the amount of decrease in value now, Evans said They should document the event by means of photographs, w ritten appraisals from q u a lifie d professionals, and proof of cost and ownership of the property Tree and shrub damage does not a u to m a tica lly qualify as a casualty loss, because it may not affect the overall value of the pro perty However, the cost of removal of debris may be considered part of the casualty. Casualty losses on per sonal property are deducti ble only if the deductions are itemized Deductible casualty losses must be caused by sudden, unex pected or unusual events. According to Evans, d if fe re n t ru le s ap p ly to business and non-business property for determining casualty loss deductions.

Per sonal casualty losses must be reduced by $100 for each occurrence. In figuring losses to in vestment or business real estate, the lossis computed separately on each building or other improvement. The $100 lim it does not apply. Personal property losses a re m easured by the decrease in the fair market value of each separate piece of property, but can never be greater than its original cost. >uffer to take it out The solution removes nore stains and soils, in :luding pet stains and {rease and dries in less ban one hour, according to Marcia Mac Swan The p ro d u ct d o e sn 't iverwet the carpet, so here is no shrinkage or nildew and it doesn’t hurt he flooring under the :arpet It leaves no d irt ittractm g residue and is xtorleM and non toxic.
