Section SANDY. OREGON THURSDAY, MAY 6. 1982 Thç sdnitv Post Area News Stream improvement is Rhody group’s goal House candidate Kopetski claims mortgage program key to recovery by DAS DILLON throughout the nation by a m or tgage “ buy down" program and a tax credit on new home purchases A mortgage buy down program allows the federal government to pay part of the interest on conven tional loans for first-tim e new home purchasers with fam ily in comes less than MO.OOO a year The same class of homebuyers would be eligible for a tax credit equal to 1 percent of the purchase price of a new home under Kopetski's plan Throughout his campaign in the 5th C o n g re s s io n a l D is t r ic t , Democratic candidate Mike Kopet ski has been reminded constantly of the tough economic conditions that Oregonians face U n e m p lo ym e n t and u n d e r employment are two topics that voters w ill not let the candidate escape Downswings in the homebuilding and lumber products industry have struck the new district particularly hard and Kopetski is concerned that Washington. D C ., is not get ting that me sage “ I don t think Ronald Reagan understands how badly off we are in states like Oregon,” Kopetski told The Post recently. K opetski said, “ Im m e d ia te benefits to Oregonians and to the nation at large w ill far exceed the immediate investment from the general fund We w ill see a pick-up in housing starts within weeks of the bill being passed. “ Unfortunately. Denny Smith hasn’t approached the White House," he added “ I would hope he’d take a leading role for the sake of Oregon ” Kopetski outlined a plan that he thinks w ill aim Oregon and the na tio n to w a rd a m ore sta b le economic base. “ And then we w ill see people go ing back to work in the home building industry and the piles of unused logs that he beside closed m ills w ill start to dim inish,” he said. “ Our mills and our tim ber in dustry w ill be on the road to recovery,” His plan aims at boosting the home c o n s tru c tio n in d u s try by M IC H A E L P. JONES Poet Correspondent The savings would be one way to get at the national deficit, he said. Retired Army Col. Jack Baker and his wife, Beth, can remember 14 years ago when they moved to R hododendron and c o u ld see steelhead spawning in Henry Creek, just outside their back door Fourteen years can be a long time when a creek is used by a lot of peo ple. In 1969 the developer of an aborted development changed the meander ing course of the creek one night by driving a bulldozer, equipped with a light, into the waterway. In the pro cess, according to the Bakers, some valuable spawning grounds for fish were destroyed. The Bakers believe that improving the stream could result in a better habitat for fisheries. They approach ed the state Department of Fish and W ildlife through the Rhododendron Neighborhood Group. Acknowledging the Bakers’ con cern, a staff member of the depart ment recently completed an in vestigation of the creek, taking in ventory of the existing habitat for fisheries and assessing the feasibility of im p ro v in g the stre a m fo r steelhead, coho salmon and trout. Jay Massey, fish biologist for the depai tment’s Clackamas County of fice, walked the creek, beginning at its mouth, where it flows into the Zigzag rive r just east of Rhododen dron. An investigation conducted a few years ago indicated that the stream has potential as a habitat fo r steelhead and coho, but warranted further study before any work could begin. According to that study the creek, which begins on the 3,200-foot level of East Zigzag Mountain, flows an estimated four miles and drops 1,600 feet in elevation. The stream ’s basin is narrow and tree-lined, and is fed by two creeks and an undetermined number of mountain springs. It maintains a “ I don’t agree with Reagan’s prem ise that w e’re behind,” Kopetski said of the nuclear arms race “ I think we’ve got to con vince the Pentagon that we want to stop building those weapons. We have let conventional defensive weapons become outdated We need fle x ib ility .” Kopetski said Reagan's propos ed tuition tax credits for private schools is wrong Such a plan has been introduced in Congress by Rep Les AuCoin, D-Ore , and Sen Richard Lugar, R-Ind They have received strong bipartisan support. Mike Kopetski Turning to other topics, Kopetski said he supports a b ila te ra l nuclear freeze with the Soviet Union for two reasons. “ Just for our own survival, for one,” he said, “ and besides, it creates a massive drain on the resources we put into weaponry.” The whole nuclear arms race, he said, is “ dead-end economics.” In lieu of continuing the nuclear a r mament build-up, the candidate - -id he favors a build-up of strong, coventional weaponry. “ We should continue on a path aimed at quality at our two- and four-year institutions,” he said. With a qualified work force, new businesses can be attracted to bolster the state’s economy. “ I don’t think we should help private institutions to the detri ment of public institutions,” he said. Kopetski, 32, has been an ad m inistrator to Oregon Legislative Committees and served as an in vestigator and w rite r for the U S. Senate Watergate Committee. A resident of Salem, he is m ar ried and has one son.

Massey's visit was the second one conducted by the department The stream could be a project for the state's Salmon, Trout Enhancement Program «STEP) The STEP program was designed to assist citizens with the improve ment of stream habitat. Activities like bank stabilization, which is done by planting shrubs and willows, removing rock barriers and log jams, and planting eggs in the stream, are included in the program Two fish passage problems ¡den tified in the first state visit, in September of 1973, were of concern to Massey. The first problem is a 10-foot-high bedrock chute located about one and a quarter miles above the creek’s mouth. The second problem is a large slide that buried the stream and has a f fected its flow, Massey’s visit, however, resulted in the identification of a number of additional fish passage problems which, the fish biologist said, could be eliminated with a little teamwork and muscle among the residents and fishermen Wood debris blocked four areas of the creek A large log jam located near the Rhododendron Summer Home Association's waterworks pro ved to be the most severe of all the blockages. In some cases, said Massey, log jams and clusters of branches can be beneficial as they collect gravel for spawning and yet still allow adequate passage for fish. Also, Massey said that logs provide shelter for small fish. In excess, however, such jams not only block fish passage but also pre vent gravel dispersion, which is needed downstream for spawning Please turn to Page 10.
