Rep. Rutherford Speaks To
"Senior citizens had a great im-
pact in the last legislative session
when they exercised their political
muscle in a cohesive manner,"
Rep. Bill Rutherford (R-McMinn-
ville) told those attending an Ore-
gon State Council for Senior Citi-
zens Legislative Training Session
in Dayton recently.
"You can continue to influence
legislation favorable to senior citi-
zens if you continue to work to-
gether in an orderly fashion," said
Rutherford.
More than 80 people attended
the meeting and heard Rutherford
review legislation introduced dur-
ing the 1979 session pertaining to
the elderly. He also passed out
folders explaining the legislative
process and gave advice on how to
follow issues as they are considered
by the Legislature.
Rutherford was one of three
legislators selected for the hnor
role of senior citizens for his
support of their concerns during
the 1977 session.
The Dayton High
School Advanced acting
class proualy presents
Flowers for Algernon,
March 8, 9, 10 at 8 pm in
the Lecture Room. The
play is about a retarded
man, Charlie Gordon,

Dayton Planning
Commission Pair
Speak To Seniors
by Freida Hedgecock
Did you watch the eclipse of the
sun Feb. 26th? Fantastic wasn't it
and a phenomenon many will not
have the pleasure of seeing again.
Tuesday, feb. 27, Sheila Henry
and Sue Lindell, members of the
Dayton Planning Commission,
came to the meal site and gave us
the "fundamentals" of the plan-
ning commission. Then many sen-
iors had questions to ask about im-
proving our city's looks and
growth. One thing in particular was
a drug store, which we feel that
most citizens want and feel it would
be supported once they were es-
tablished in the community. The
girls brought a large map along,
showing the outlay of the town and
future development. It seems they
are doing a good job and the meet-
ing was most informative and we
thank Sheila and Sue for sharing
their time and information with us.
Monday, Feb. 26 Freida and
Sally Nicolai attended the Legis-
lative Training Workshop at Dallas
City Hall.
Rep. John Schoon of Dist. #34
spoke in the morning and Sen.
Clifford Trow of Dist. #18 spoke in
the afternoon, plus other speakers.
Everyone was bussed over to the
meal site for lunch and back. The
attendance in Dallas was not as
large as the attendance in Dayton
for the workshop.
We wish to thank Bob Suther-
land, Journalism teacher at Dayton
H.S. and journalism students Ben-
jie Hedgecock, Paul Lorenzen, Ron
Hop, Cindy Mauck, photographer;
Ken Crawford, Jay McReynolds,
Scott Taylor and Melody Crawley
for doing the editorial on our senior
citizens at the meal site. We
received the copies this week and a
job well done. Everyone enjoyed
reading the early history of many of
our "old timers". This is the first
time this has been done and the
seniors enjoyed telling their early
history for this special edition of
the H.S. Daytonian.
Menu for Friday, March 2, will
be turkey supreme, green beans,
tossed salad, roils and dessert.
voted to allow Glen Petty to run a
sewer and water line to his prop-
erty adjacent to the Terry Park to
allow access to two residential lots.
The lines will run along the edge of
the park from Madison St.
Chief of Police Paul Capron pre-
sented a computer readout of all
police activity within the city dur-
ing the last year. He also gave
copies of a mutual aid agreement
between the cities and county
police departments. This agree-
ment would allow any policeman of
any jurisdiction to aid another de-
partment if the need arises. The
Council took the matter under
advisement until the next meeting
March 7.
Because of two protests filed
concerning a vote on the proposed
urban growth boundary, the Coun-
cil re-voted, with two voting ,to
leave the urban growth boundary'at
the city limits and two voting to
review the boundary. The mayor
broke the tie, leaving the urban
growth boundary at the present city
limits.
The protests came following a
joint meeting of the planning com-
mission and the council two weeks
ago. At that time a joint vote was
held which those protesting said
should have been separate votes.
The Council and planning com-
mission met in another joint meet-
ing Monday evening to review pro-
posed zoning changes and set a
work schedule to complete the
comprehensive land use plan. The
deadline for completion was Feb. 1.
The Council voted to ask LCDC for
an extension to May 1 for final
completion.
Still to be completed on the plan
is to draft a zoning orginance,
management agreement and citi-
zen involvement procedures.
