City gets payback for oil clean-up
A local firm will reim
burse the city of Sandy for
costs it incurred when
workers at the sewage
treatment plant cleaned up
50 gallons of diesel oil that
inadvertently spilled into a
storm drain and made its
way to the plant.
As a result of that reim
bursement—and steps
taken to prevent the inci
dent from repeating- the
city this week sent a letter
to the Department of En
vironmental Quality asking
that the agency consider
the cooperation should a
fine be imposed
An oil spill at Sandy Oil
Company Sept 9 resulted
in the discharge of approx
imately 50 gallons of diesel
oil into the treatment plant
The plant’s bacteria
population, used in the
treatment process, was
destroyed, according to
Bob
Hornsby,
plant
superintendent
The spill occurred when
a worker left a tank truck
unattended while it was be
ing filled. That resulted in
the discharge of nearly 300
gallons of the fuel onto the
ground
In addition to the oil be
ing toxic to the bacteria,
the oi' had to be skimmed
and removed from the
treatment tanks holding
500,000 gallons of water at
the plant That task took
numerous man hours to ac
complish, Hornsby said.
Cost of the cleanup was
133144. which Sandy Oil
representatives
have
agreed to pay to the city.
"Our polishing pond was
empty when the spill occur
red and within a period of
five to 10 minutes after the
oil reached the plant we
were able to stop discharg
ing into Tickle Creek and
direct all flow Into the
polishing pond,” Hornsby
said in a letter to DEQ
following the incident
Two weeks after the spill,
Hornsby and City Engineer
Greg DiLoreto met with
Mike Calkins, manager of
Sandy Oil Company, to
discuss ways to prevent
future run-offs from
reaching the man hole and
storm drain at Pleasant
and Revenue Streets,
should a similar accident
occur.
Calkins agreed to install
a speed bump-like curb bet
ween Sandy Oil and the
downhill slope leading to
the man hole. That curbing
was installed Sept. 29.
DEQ representatives,
however, told Hornsby that
S»ndy Oil will probably be
fined between *500 and
*15,000 for the violation.
Local ordinance allows a
fine not to exceed *300, im
prisonment of not more
than 100 days, or both That
was waived because of
Calkins' cooperation.

McFarland: War doesn’t make jobs
by VON BRASCHLER
She's tough as hell, and
old men think she’s sexy.
At least that's how State
Senator Ruth McFarland
(D-Boring) thinks some
voters see her
The Gresham college
science professor who op
poses U.S. Rep. Denny
Smith in the new Congres
sional District 5 dissects
her political approach dif
ferently, however
She’s for a nuclear arms
freeze, military cuts, aid
for seniors, education for
technological advance
ment, new energy in
cluding safer nuclear
plants and jobs, jobs, jobs.
"Forget the old myth
that war creates jobs,' she
said, noting a recent study
showed only 14,000 jobs
created by *1 million spent
on military against 65,000
jobs created in education.
Two-thirds of what we
sell and export are ser
vices, mostly communica
tions," she said
Education for high
technology could make the
country a rich world leader
again, she said
“Hence, we cannot cut
our education,” she said
"We should refurbish it.”
For every 1 percent of
unemployment reduced na
tionally, she said, another
*15 billion is put back into
a financially shaky Social
Security System with more
wage earners making more
contributions
Parakeet
drops in
on class
K parakeet dropped in
for a visit at Sandy Union
High School earlier this
week
The cobalt blue bird flew
into Georgia Lenon’s
American literature class
through an open second-
story window and stayed
for about an hour, or well
into the vocabulary and
spelling class
Lenon figures someone
has lost a pet SUHS junior
Shirley Maitland is keeping
the parakeet until its owner
can be found
The owner may contact
Lenon at the high school.
She scorned military
stockpiling and contract
overruns The teacher-
turned-politician also
scorns her Republican op
ponent's record of voting
"for every military spen
ding issue to come down
the pike.”
The national deficit could
be reduced painfully by 29
percent budget cuts in all
areas including social ser
vices and education, she
said, or less painfully by
hefty military cuts.
She also favors the
Moynihan Bill before Con
gress that seeks to get the
national economy moving
by a study of infrastructure
reform.
Such improvement of
roads, bridges, canals and
other basic facilities
"would put Oregon in the
cat-bird seat,” she said.
McFarland advocates
economic development of
Oregon as gateway to the
Pacific rim states for trade
in the west.
She attacked Smith’s
record on Social Security,
taxes and senior citizen
issues, declaring, “We
must quit treating human
beings like they are
disposable units.”
She advocates tax credits
for wage earners forced out
of dying industries toward
new industries and also for
companies that relocte in
sites of closed plants.
"We can’t neglect our
training programs,” she
said of new industry in an
American reindustrializa
tion. “Cutting funding for
them would be cutting off
our nose to spite our face
It's like eating seed corn or
the milk cow, just because
times are tough ”

She thinks decreased
dependence on Middle East
oil would be an economic
step in the right direction,
too.
"I would like to see work
on research to deal better
with disposable waste in
nuclear energy," she said.
"We’re certainly not going
to turn our backs on it,
although nuclear energy
has fallen on hard times
lately."
