Kitchen lollipop business booms
A year and a half ago
Lynda Smith of Boring
was making from S100 to
1150 a month baby-sitting
Hoping to match that,
she began making and
selling lollipops She east
ly makes as much now as
she did during her baby
sitting days, with a con
servative estimate of her
output at 1.000 to 1.500
lollipops a week
Not bad for someone
who claims to hate sell
ing
An investment of W0
and some borro w ed
molds has expanded to a
clientele of about 25
stores
She began by selling
her lollipops at Shorty’s
Corner east of Sandy and
at the McCall Country
Store in Boring About
nine months after she
started she filled an order
for Fred M eyer’s for
21.600 suckers i360 boxes
with 60 to a box).
She now makes a varie
ty of suckers with .35 hard
can dy
and
seven
ch o c o la te
fla v o rs
available in about 150
sizes and shapes The
hard candy Pac-Mans are
popular at R-Video in
D am ascus.
and
a
chocolate Darth Vader is
a natural. The hard-
candy suckers retail for
35 to 50 cents, and the
chocolate lollipops range
from 49 cents to »1
She'll also take special
orders for a $25 heart that
is about a foot and half
across and an inch to an
inch and a half deep. A
personalized message is
included in the price.
Smith warns, “ It takes
forever to eat ”
Smith works out of her
kitchen, but one of the
stipulations that came
with the state's food pro
cessing license was that
her lollipop-making sup
plies be kept separate
from her other kitchen
supplies
Smith and her husband
D on,
who
teaches
automechanics at Mt
Hood Community College
as well as managing a
small nursery, have four
children still living at
home who attend school
in Boring They are
Shane. 12; Christopher,8.
Duston, 5; and Alisha, 4.
She said it’s a "family
business ”
Smith got the idea for
the business from her
sister, and since that time
a couple of other people in
the area have also begun
lollipop businesses. In ad
dition. Smith is in com
petition with other candy
manufacturers.
“ I feel like if I keep the
quality up, I ’ll keep my
stores," she said, adding
that locally she checks
her lollipop tree displays,
re p la c in g
broken
suckers
She considers the
suckers a specialty item,
and doesn't want to ex
pand her business to the
point where she could lose
control over the quality of
the lollipops or other
aspects of the business
The lollipop business is
seasonal, with Christmas
and Easter the biggest

Perhaps it is because of
the very sordid conditions
that these people so vividly
portray love, hate, envy,
courage, fe a r, cruelty,
kindness, joy and sadness
with such intensity.
His own intensity is
revealing and, at times, the
book reads like a detective
novel as he uncovers one
clue after another, drawing
close those responsible for
his mother’s death.
The backgrou n d of
Elini’s life and the events
leading up to her murder
are so artfully told that you
feel you are there.
The book is at times,
spiritually uplifting and
also heartbreaking. The
conclusion of this beautiful
ly told story is a surprise.
Don’t miss it.

Iran’s mullahs threaten to destroy the entire Bahâ’f community.
The judge who condemned the women to death, and recently sent
seven Bahà’ i men to the gallows, warned: “ The Islamic nation
will, God willing, fu lfill the prayer mentioned in the Koran,
‘ Lord, leave not one single family o f infidels on earth.’ ’ ’
The President of the United States appealed to the Ayatollah
Khomeini to stop the killings, and the Congress in a concurrent
resolution has condemned the persecution.
Only the concerted pressure of world public opinion can avert a
tragedy of appalling proportions: genocide.
We invite Americans o f all races and creeds to express support of
Presidential and Congressional appeals to end these killings. The
people o f the United States should be in the forefront o f world
demands that the barbarous persecution o f a peaceful community
cease.
