STADIUM GRANDSTAND DEDICATED - "Ten months ago it was a dream. Tonight it is a reality." So declared R. R. (Bud) Parsons Friday at the dedication of the new 4,000-seat grandstand (shown above) at the Medford Senior High school stadium. Parsons, president of the Medford Linebackers club, which spearheaded the project, paid tribute to the many people, businesses and groups which made the stadium possible. Gene Orr, chairman of the ticket sales and finance committee for the drive, pre sented a grandstand deed to Garner Haupert and Janet O'Sullivan, president and secretary of the high school student body. Haupert presented a check for $1 to Orr and then handed the deed to Keith Hockcrsmith, chairman of Freeway Helping Business in Two Bypassed Towns The Interstate 5 freeway is helping rather than hurting business, say civic leaders in two Rogue valley cities that are bypassed by the new road. Richard Abbott, president of the Gold Hill Chamber of Commerce, and Larry Shee- han. mayor of Rogue River, both report thai the freeway has in fact helped business conditions boom in their com munities. "Overall, from the time the highway first started to by pass us, we have shown an increase in retail sales of be tween 25 and 35 per cent," Abbott said. His statement came in re sponse to an article in last Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, which reported that Gold Hill's retail stales had fallen off by nearly 25 per cent since the community was bypassed. "We're kind of up in arms around here about that art icle'' the Gold Hill chamber president said. "Something like that can really hurt us." Mayor Larry Sheehan of Rogue River told the Mail Tribune last month that his city was "booming both in business and population." He said he thought the free way was stimulating growth, making the city more of a "bedroom c o m m unity' for persons employed in Medford and Grants Pass, because the faster highway made it pos sible for more people to live "out in the country." Sheehan pointed to the fact that there were no vacant commercial buildings in Rogue River and that several new businesses were in the process of moving in.
