Throwback Thursday: This week from 25, 50 and 75 years ago.

Aug. 23, 1951
The Sweet Home swimming team now has a name. Henceforth, the local splashers will be known as the Sweet Home Dolphins. Members of the team selected Lavonne Shaw as president, Beverly Hall as vice-president, Janice Calvert as secretary and Bill Fallon as treasurer. Delays in the construction of the new community pool have postponed opening to a tentative date of Aug. 27.

The biggest treasure on the West Coast – and perhaps in the country – took place at Sankey Park when the Sweet Home Bicentennial Family Treasure Hunt, sponsored by the Albany Metal Detectors Club, was held. Despite rainy weather, the hunt attracted 412 entrants from Oregon and other states, bringing in more than $3,000 in entry fees.

Linn County and the Corps of Engineers will begin searching for a site on Foster Lake for a new boat ramp. They’re currently thinking Caulkins Park at the junction of Quartzville Road and Hwy. 20 would be the best site. Park usage has been very busy. The county has looked for increased lake access for years, but the Corps wasn’t as receptive to the ideas as they are now.
