Bend stores notice the rush for sugar

Bend was no different from the rest of the nation as sales of unsweetened sugar began this morning for the first time in five years.

Housewives have started a large stockpile of sugar from grocery stores this morning and at noon in some shops only small packets of sugar were left and other stores had applied voluntary limits on purchases.

In fact, the “sugar rush” started small yesterday afternoon when many people received the last of their ration stamps.

Local grocery stores agreed that any sugar shortages that could occur in the coming days would be purely temporary and largely distributed. They said refineries and warehouses had large accumulations of sugar and that this would go into retail channels when needed.

The Red Cross is expanding its swimming program

REDMOND – A “water baby” class and a swimming team have been added to the Red Cross swimming program at the Redmond Pool, said Paul McCormick, president of the Redmond area.

Cyd Shoemaker, Bend, a ten-year veteran of competitive swimming, will coach the swimming team. Semi-private lessons for babies up to three years old will be taught from June 19 to July 7 by Mrs. Jerry Jewett and Mrs. Sue Moyer.

The municipal pool will host an organizational meeting for parents and swimmers interested in joining the Redmond swimming team. Enrollment of potential competitors ages five to 18 was done last weekend in high school.

Starting June 19, there will also be classes for beginners and water safety assistants. On July 10, a full program of Red Cross lessons for beginners, advanced beginners, intermediate and junior and senior lifeguards will begin.

Water baby classes will be limited to 12 people per group. Mothers will teach their own children under the guidance of the monitors. The class will run from noon to 12:30 p.m. Scholarships from members Jaycees, Kiwanis and Soroptimist were used to train new instructors: Pam Fraley, Laurie Carl and Kay Frizzell. Cyd Shoemaker and Diane McClain received partial Rotary Club scholarships.

When Lava Ridge Elementary School opened three years ago, not many students could walk the classroom from 10- to 25-year-old developments north and west. Even today, much of the land near the Bend urban growth limit is nothing but juniper and sagebrush.

With the school – and the sewer, streets and sidewalks it carried – the area northeast of the city limits of Bend is emerging into subdivisions to the right and left. After Wishing Well, he paved the way about three years ago. North Ridge, Majestic and Boulder Ridge will climb Morningstar Drive south of the school. Canal View has larger, more expensive homes on the east side of 18th Street northeast heading north toward the school. Just west of Lava Ridge, Phoenix Park rises from the dust.

“Growth will occur anywhere with bare land and public facilities,” said George Reed, director of the County Development Department of Waste County. “The sewer was widened for the school. Community water has been there for years. “

With a traffic sign on Highway 97 and Cooley Road to the northeast and the 18th crossing from Empire Boulevard, the last part of the equation was solved. Unfortunately, much of the area is zoned for half-acre residential lots. Existing homeowners did not like the idea that urban density (lots of 6,000 square feet) would damage their semi-rural environment.

Morningstar via 18th offered a safer alternative to the meandering Boyd Acres Road, but it quickly became a collector’s street and a fence cannon in the backyard of the new subdivision. “A lot of people said to the growth, ‘About my corpse,'” Read said. “The fact is, the county board has been approving area changes.

“The question is, are we doing well or can we do it better? Then people said, ‘We’d like all these ideas (traditional neighborhoods with sidewalks and standard-width streets) if you can get developers to do it.’

“Developers want some certainty of approval, if there will be compensation for certain standards we want.”Another problem is to integrate existing plots of 3, 5 and 7 hectares (with or without housing) into the grand scheme to make neighborhoods, Read said.

Lava Ridge was built to accommodate 625 students. The school has 594 this year, said John Rexford, director of auxiliary services at Bend-LaPine.

Next fall, Lava Ridge District projects will be four below capacity, and then continue to grow.

“We knew the Northeast would grow faster than the rest of Bend,” Rexford said. Enrollment in the area increased by more than 10 percent, compared to 3.8 percent for other schools in the city.

Lava Ridge growth will slow next year and a proposal to measure bonds for a West Side primary school and other schools elsewhere (including a Northeast Middle School) should prevent classrooms burst through the seams.
