urged.
"They may be only pieces
of paper after your groceries
are unloaded and put away,
but they mean valuable dol
lars to the HOSTS (Help One
S tudent To S u ccee d) p ro
gram," Ervin said.
HOSTS is a one-on-one
m a th em atics tu to rin g p ro
gram that has proven to be
very successful. A decrease
in federal money led the pro-
County Fair board members work
to keep operations going strong
twenty hours per week.
The rest of the work will
have to be done by volun
teers—a situation well under
stood by W illia m s o n and
board v ic e -c h a irm a n Pam
Freytag, who work in the of
fice every day until at least
noon, often much longer.
Volunteers are still needed
to work on the grounds, paint,
do building repair, or any oth
er service they may offer.
Goods and materials are also
needed, the board members
stressed. "If someone wants
to donate a gallon of paint,
we'll accept it with gratitude
and carefully store it until we
have enough to paint a build
ing," Williamson said, adding
that they can use red, green
or white paint.
The Columbia County Fair
Board meets at 7:30 p.m. on
the second Tuesday of each
month in the 4-H building. All
m ee ting s are open to the
public.
The Columbia County Fair
Board declined an offer by
the county board of commis
sioners to place responsibility
fo r m a in ta in in g the fa ir
g ro u n d s w ith the co u n ty
parks department.
No cou nty general fund
money was budgeted for the
fa ir board this year, and a
levy that would have provided
the board w ith o p e ra tin g
funds was defeated at the
polls. They will receive mon
ey from the state lottery, but
the bulk of th e ir operating
funds will have to come from
rentals of facilities at the fair
grounds and from the fair, it
self.
"If there is any chance to
keep the fair independent, we
want to do that," said board
chairman Kathy Williamson,
on a recent visit to Vernonia.
To keep the operation go
ing, the board laid off all staff
except one groundskeeper-
maintenance man who works

from the community.
The Vernonia Sentry Re
ceipt Program w ill sponsor
next year's HOSTS program.
The goal of $170,000 in re
ceipts is $20,000 more than
last year's goal, but is the
same amount as was actually
turned in.
The Parent Teacher Orga
nization, which coordinates
the re ce ip t program , asks
p a re n ts and o th e rs in the
community to save their re
ceipts and send them or take
them to school once each
month.
Jessie Johnston and Walter Mathews enjoyed an animated
conversation during the Rummage Sale fund raiser for Mist
School. For a full report on how the activity went, see
