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

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
