Sunshine, wild mountain berries, and salmon make these fine summer months even better The most glorious season on the mountain is upon us. Golden sunshine and beautiful weather will dominate, and for a few months we can forget about the rain. It is the time for families, the young, and the old to step into all of this delightful weather, and take a deep breath of fresh air. And then it’s time to pick some berries. It’s just another of the reasons we live here, right? The woods and fields are full of berries of all kinds from July to September. juicy red thimble berries, dark, small, sweet, wild blackberries, and fat, thorn-bearing Himalayan blackberries all make their way into the pies and treats of sumCourtesy of Mt.

Ivan and Agnes Barker 50 Years of Community Service by Nancy Hoffman
From the writings of the late Phil Jonsrud Sandy Museum Historian
Considering the sad state of the national economy, it was a grim day in the middle of the Great Depression of 1933 when Ivan and Agnes Barker arrived in Sandy and bought the run-down Sandy Drug Store. The store’s condition was the result of former owner Ron Esson’s failing health. Yet it was a lucky day for Sandy as the Barkers were top-notch people who would turn out to be probably the hardest-working civic volunteers the city has ever seen. Ivan, the great-grandson of southern Oregon pioneer Jesse Applegate, was born in Drain, Oregon in Douglas County in 1902. He became a licensed pharmacist in the early 1920s, and then worked in drug stores in Oakland (Oregon), Cottage Grove, and Redmond. He was well-accepted everywhere but Ivan and Agnes wanted a store of their own. They finally found Esson’s store in Sandy and purchased it. They soon began to revive the business by renovating and improving the store so that it soon retained its image as “the center of town.” When there was no doctor available, people with injuries came to Ivan for aid. He would patch them up and if the injury was serious, send them off to the nearest hospital which for a long time was in Portland.

Continued From Page 3 Berries need sun, and huckleberries are no different. They can be found fruiting along the edges of just about any mountain lake, along road sides, and anywhere the sun penetrates the forest canopy. You need drive no further than Trillium Lake to find these gems. They can be found all along the trail that stretches around the pretty lake with views of Mt Hood in the background. The other side of the mountain has excellent picking, too. Try the hills and roadways around Laurence Lake near Parkdale. Here they come!
Todd Griffith of Reno, Nevada caught this nice Chinook salmon at the mouth of Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge last September.
Local salmon fishing should be the best we’ve seen in years this August and September. Fisheries managers are forecasting that over 1.6 million fall Chinook will return to the Columbia this year, followed by a million coho salmon. The fall king run was fantastic last fall, but the numbers look even better this year. Casting spinners and floating bait below a bobber will take the big salmon at the mouths of the Sandy River, and further up the Columbia River Gorge at Eagle Creek and Herman Creek. These are some of the largest salmon in our region, running up into the 40 pound range on occasion. Hooking a giant salmon is one of the signature thrills of the Northwest.

Ivan and Agnes were legendary civic volunteers active in church work, lodges, school and youth activities, school boards, budget committees, and other types of public service. Ivan served on the City Council, was Citizen of the Year in 1967, served a term as Lieutenant Governor of Kiwanis and was a member of Sandy Championship TrapShooting team one year. He was a dedicated hunter and fisherman.
The Barkers backed any proposal that was good for Sandy. They were so respected that anyone carrying a petition for a civic project would try to get Ivan to sign it first knowing if others saw Ivan’s name on it, they would also sign. He had a great “down-home” sense of humor and had many great stories of the early days. A number of them are in the Sandy Historical Society’s book “80 Years in the Same Neighborhood, A History of the Sandy, Oregon Area” that is for sale at our Museum.
Sandy Drug Store was located in the building now known as Double Dragon Restaurant. In the 1960s it moved into a new building on Proctor Blvd. which now contains the Subway Shop and the UPS Store. Because of the Barkers’ attention to business and their civic contributions, the store thrived for about 50 years from 1933 to 1983 with almost no competition until the chain drug stores came to Sandy in the 1980s.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 The run will reach our neck of the woods in midAugust, and the fishing will be good through September. The Sandy River has disappointed coho salmon anglers in the past four years, but this September just might see something like the old runs. If so, it will mostly benefit upriver anglers, since the silver salmon Walt Trandum of Sandy shows off a nice bite better once they enter the glacial waters of the coho salmon he caught on the Sandy river above the confluence with the Bull Run River.

Continued From Page 8 Fly-in Cruise-in Breakfast rolls on 57-year history By Nancy Hoffman Sandy Historical Society and Sandy Kiwanis
by Nancy Hoffman
McKinnon Airpark will again host the annual Kiwanis Fly-in (RC) Cruise-in Breakfast on Sunday, July 27. This year the owners of Eclectic Institute and of the lush McKinnon Airpark property, Dr. Ed and Christine Alstat, are hosting the summer event of the season.
There are two changes in the event. First, the hangar where breakfast has been served for years is now repurposed for processing and shipping herbal products. Instead, the breakfast will be cooked and served at the lower barn where there will be tents erected on the grass near the pond. Second, the fly-in element of the event has been changed from airplanes to radiocontrolled or RC airplanes. The SkyNights club will be flying demonstrations in a clearing just north of the runway all day. The airstrip itself will be closed to air traffic and the international sign that indicates do not land, a large white X across the runway, will warn anyone who does not get the word. The more things change the more they stay the same may be the motto of the Flyin Cruise-in event. It started in 1957 when three flyers, Otto Motejl, Harold Eades and Rich Wesselink, all members of Sandy Kiwanis, donated their time to fly passengers for $1 a ride. Each of the three pilots had a two-seater airplane. The Sandy Kiwanis paid for the aircraft fuel. The rest of the Sandy Kiwanis members opened up one of the hangers at Rich’s Airport in the Sandy River Valley and served a pancake breakfast for $1.25. Because of the airplane rides and the breakfast, the event gained in popularity each year. It was in 1978 that the first hot rods and antique cars cruised in. Frank Happold, Gale Meier and Len Tobias were three Kiwanis members who brought their own cars and invited their friends. The first year there were about 20 cars. It was about the same time the relatively inexpensive plane rides came to an end. Kiwanis hired airplanes for $85 an hour while insurance premiums went up and passengers were charged $10 a ride. It was time for a change. From 1978 forward, the car tradition grew greater each year. By 1991, the car show had become more formalized and the Over the Hill Gang car club took on the task of organizing and promoting it. The name of the event was officially changed to the Kiwanis Fly-in Cruise-in Breakfast. In 1980, Rich Wesselink sold the airport to John Johnson who built a new hanger. Each year the airplanes would be rolled outside and the breakfast served inside. In 1987, Johnson sold the airport to Jerry Forston who renamed it the Sandy River Airport. Today the airport is owned by gold miners Todd Hoffman and Jack Hoffman. CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

As the event grew, it was bursting the seams of the airport property. Kiwanis found another location at McKinnon Airpark. Organizers were concerned that people would not drive the four miles from Sandy to the north end of Roslyn Lake. But they did in droves. The cruise-in attracted between 400 and 500 show cars and breakfast was served to 2500 people. Mike Reese, with his personal love of airplanes and larger-than-life personality, attracted more flyers from around the region. He and his wife Pat hosted the event for 15 years. This year the hosts are the new owners of McKinnon Airpark, Edward and Christine Alstat. Dr. Alstat is the head of Eclectic Institute and he purchased the property for processing and shipping herbal products, many of which are grown on his nearby farm. Join the crowd at McKinnon Airpark on Sunday, July 27 for the fun and excitement of the 2014 Sandy Kiwanis Fly-in (RC) Cruise-in Breakfast and to visit the car show hosted by the Over the Hill Gang. Admission is free. Parking is free. Registration for show cars is $15. Breakfast is $7 for adults, $4 for youth. It is served from 7 a.m.-12:30 p.m. For additional information, contact Les Geren at 503-319-5660.

The Importance of Joy Joy is a human emotion that is important in the kingdom of God. It is expressed when a person gives a ringing shout of joy, exaltation and praise to God for his blessings, deliverance and help. For example, the Bible records that God’s people expressed great joy when: a victory was won over an enemy; the Ark of the Covenant was brought to Jerusalem; the people made offerings for the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem; the people destroyed idols which had been allowed in the country by kings that did not follow the Lord; the foundation for the Second Temple was built (because the first Temple had been destroyed); they dedicated the Temple; the Word of God which had been lost for a long time was found and read to the congregation; the wall which had been destroyed by the enemy was rebuilt around the city of Jerusalem and dedicated. The following scriptures inspire us about the importance, the power and the blessings of joy. Without question, salvation brings joy to God’s people. [Psalm 5:11 KJV] 11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. [Psalm 16:11 KJV] 11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore. [Psalm 51:12 KJV] 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me [with thy] free spirit. [Psalm 126:5 KJV] 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. [Isaiah 12:3 KJV] 3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. [Isaiah 35:10 KJV] 10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. [Isaiah 52:9 KJV] 9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. [Isaiah 61:3 KJV] 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. [Acts 13:52 KJV] 52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. [Romans 14:17 KJV] 17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. [Romans 15:13 KJV] 13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. [Galatians 5:22 KJV] 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith… [Jude 1:24 KJV] 24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy… In summary, joy is not a fleeting emotion, but a sustaining emotion and a tangible benefit of salvation for God’s people when they are filled with His Spirit.
