I FOUR The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday. January 19, 1978 j' T. .4 4 4 Sandy shows 6em which way to go Sandy Matheny, 25-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Orval Matheny of Heppner, was the subject of a lively fea ture story in the Dec. 27 issue of The Oregonian. The article, written by Mike Conrad, Oregonian correspondent, featured Sandy's ("don't call her Sandra," the story warned) adven tures and misadventures as informational specialist for the Columbia Gorge Ranger District of Mount Hood- Nn.tir.r.ai Forest. Living in Gresham and working out of the ranger station at Springdale, Sandy spends much of her time during camping season dealing with the public, enforcing regulations and putting on special campground slide shows and programs. Sandy met one of her first challenges curbing shortcutting by hikers who forged their own trails on steep slopes, causing costly erosion in what the Oregonian article described "characteristic fashion". She made hand written signs designed to capture the hiker's imagination. "Stepping off the pavement is no joke. You may land in poison oak." and "Running from rocks sure makes me pale. I wish that nut would stay on the trail." were just two of her creations. And they seemed to have worked. While a student at Heppner High School, Sandy was known for singing at weddings and being part of a performing group named "Page Twelve". She now sings and plays guitar around the campfire for campers in her campground programs. Sandy mentioned her Heppner wheat ranch and singing background several times in the Oregonian feature. About her public singing stint, she said "One of my biggest learning experiences was when I was 17 and singin' in a bar. Singing in bars in small towns where you know everybody is easy. Everybody's friendly. I love a stage, which, if I didn't, I wouldn't be in the right job...." Future plans? "I love it here," said Sandy, "But I definately want to move. I've always had pretty loose feet and I want to go. I like it where it's hot and dry. Somewhere in Arizona, under a saguaro sipping a mint julep. I also wouldn't mind a stint in Washington D.C." Sandy's mother, Pauline Matheny, said the article described her pretty well: "She's always had lots of spirit and ambition." Sandy hasn't forgotten her home town and visits friends and family regularity.
