The ruts on Bluff Road were so deep a car would follow them as a m atter of course. Schwartz’s father, A C . Baum- back, helped change that. He was foreman of the crew that put down the first rock bed. There is a p h o to g ra p h in th e “ S and y P ioneers, E a rly Settlers and Barlow Road Days” of a rock crusher on Bluff Road. It was the first in the area to use electricity. The picture is dated 1918. Schwartz said rock was hauled up the bluff — near the bend in the Sandy River — on a trestle, crush ed and distributed along the road way by horse and wagon. In mid-October, people who use B luff Road will enjoy a smooth ride M arie Schwartz never knew when she was learning to drive. But first they must endure two months of construction. Jim Turin, president of Jim Turin and Sons Inc., paving con tractors, said they would start in front of Sandy Union High School, just north of Hood Street, and replace the east lane of traffic, and then the west lane. That w ill allow one-way traffic, which w ill flow north from U.S. Highway 26 to Kelso Road. Turin and Sons was one of four contractors to bid on the project. They had the low bid, which was 8639,850. A hearing on the local improve ment district was held in August 1964. About 70 people attended the meeting in the Sandy High com mons, and residents opposed to the project worked during a 15-minute break to come up with enough waivers of remonstrance to halt formation of the local improve ment district. Just over SO percent of the residents along the bluff — with votes based on acreage — were in favor of the project. The City Coun cil had agreed not to form a local improvement district if more than half the residents were opposed. Despite a good deal of testimony in opposition, Councilman Dick Harrison said to vote against the Bluff Road project would be to vote for potholes. The City Council ap proved the formation of a local im provement district by a vote of 6-1. A federal grant, administered through Clackamas County, will pay about $608,000 of the project The city’s share jumped from 827.600 — the 1964 estimate — to $122,200 The local improvement district's share remained the same at 870,000. Turin said they will excavate the roadway and put down a layer of cement-treated rock base, which requires four days to cure. Then they will apply a 2-inch layer of asphalt. Next year, they will apply another 2-inch layer of asphalt Konell Construction Company Inc , of Sandy, will do the excava tion work. Portland East Rock Products, of Brightwood, will sup ply the rock. To meet the state's 11 percent financing requirement for minori ty or disadvantaged hiring, T P T Services Inc. will mix cement- tre‘ ,ed base. Salt and Pepper Con struction w ill haul rock, and Kaspac Company will put in the drainage curb. To meet the state’s 1 percent fin a n c in g re q u ire m e n t to r women’s enterprises. M R Pierce Constructors will handle the flagg ing duties. Turin said two flaggers will be on the job during construction. Telephone lines along the route will be buried underground, accor ding to Mike Walker, public works director for the city of Sandy. “ We appreciate the cooperation of PG E and G TE for the timeliness of moving their poles," Turin «aid Construction began Wednesday The state requires that construc tion be completed by Oct. IS because of possible damage from winter weather Boring faces unification, boundary questions A bid to unify the Sandy Union High School District with its feeder schools could mean big changes for 40 per cent of the students in the Boring School District. But a second proposal by Boring parents to change Gresham Union High School's boundaries to include all of the Boring School District would mean changes for high school students. Currently, about 60 percent of the students in Boring School District ESD From Page 1 computer classes. The loss of students also would a f fect extra-curricular activities such as athletics, drama and music, Steb- beds said. According to her figures, the district's tax rate would increase by about 73 cents per $1,000 assessed value. But Greg McKenzie, an a t torney for the petitioners, said accor ding to his calculations, the tax rate would change by 1 cent per 81,000. Karen Howell, who started the peti tion drive, addressed other issues The fact that Boring students go on to attend two different high schools results in split friendships and rivalries, she said. It also poses pro blems for teachers who must prepare students for a different curriculum at each high school. If the boundary is not changed and unification of the Sandy district oc curs, it will leave 185 students without a school, Howell said. She noted that the school is a focal point for the Boring community. “ Parents have wanted the situa tion changed for a long time, but we never though we could do anything about it ," she said. reside within Sandy Union High School District boundaries and at tend Sandy High School. The remain ing 40 percent live in the Gresham Union High School District and a t tend Sam Barlow High School. A group of Boring residents has petitioned the Multnomah Education S e r v ic e D is t r ic t to c h an g e Gresham’s boundaries to include all of Boring School District. I f the group succeeds, all Boring graduates will go to Barlow. The group initiated the boundary change in response to efforts by some Sandy residents to consolidate Sandy Union High School District with all the grade school districts that feed into it. The consolidation question w ill be on the Nov. 4 ballot. The issue will not be settled by the Multnomah Education District. If the M ESD grants the boundary change, it then will be considered by the C la c k a m a s E d u c a tio n S e rv ic e District. Boring School District is in Clackamas County. However, facts under considera tion by the education service districts could be changed by the Nov. 4 elec tion. Voters in the portion of Boring that is also in the Gresham Union o o High School District will not vote in the election. Boring residents cur rently in the Sandy Union High School District will. Even if a m ajority of Boring voters vote against consolidation, they could be outnumbered by a majority of Sandy voters. Consolidation would mean Boring School District would be left with 40 percent of its students and 4C percent of its assets, or about $2.1 million. Sixty percent of the district's assets, or about 83.8 million, would go to San dy. That includes the district's two buildings. o T0Ê3 B R ID E Couples registered at Clouulree & Sun GROOM For the gift Stephanie Abbott they’ll really use Sheryl Anderson Lisa Bayer Kelley Carlton Jeanette Champagne Janice Cipriano Cherie Crenshaw Shari Erickson Kimberly Fuller Nancy Hall Shirley Hancock Velvet Jennings Paula Mack Robin Marks Becky McManus Danette Nash Shannon Patrick Loretta Roney Sally Ropp Lori Rossman Krista Six Shirley Soohoo Jeanette Smith Karen Sturges Lynn Talbott Jana Todd Donna Walton Sally Warner Patti Weston Linda Wetherell Lisa Winn Jerry Logan Michael Kelley Jim Meuwissen Greg Lingelbach Mike Howell Michael Dillard Tim Koch Brad Galager John Stearns Babac Doane Peter Johnson Troy Rabe M ark Goodwin Jim Bird Eric Dunkin Steve Henderson Tim O'Donnell Kelly Stites Don Gifford David Anderson David Silvey Tom Chowning Phil Beatty Bill Gorze Steve Strom bom Danny Loftin Randy Walczak Dan Gradin Rob Gage Roy Hamilton Rick Mills How’s YOUR Child Going to Do in School?
