Several individuals appear ed at the board meeting to complain about recent increa ses in daily room costs for non-welfare residents of Pion eer Memorial's nursing home unit. Rates have risen from just over $23 in summer of 1977 to the current maximum daily rate of $29.50. Others complained that cer tain charges were not clearly itemized, and that discrepen cies existed in rates charged to nursing home residents who were apparently receiving similar services. "You're asking 13 people (the non-welfare nursing home residents) to make up a $30,000 loss for the nursing home," complained Jewell Hager. "The elderly shouldn't be penalized." Mrs. Hager suggested the board consider attempt to pass a bond issue similar to one approved in Wallowa Opunty which would serve to subsidize some of the nursing home expenses. The board is expected to study the nursing facility fee situation and report on the matter during its next meet ing.

The three were recently appointed to the board to fill vacancies created by the resignations of Larry Mills, Dick Sargent, and Hubert Wilson.

Bennett blasts lack of planning for Columbia water use Oregon's water develop ment policy, as it pertains to the Columbia River, "is hope lessly inadequate," Democra tic District 55 representative candidate Chuck Bennett told the Chamber of Commerce group meeting in Moro Tues day. The inadequacy of Columbia River water resource plann ing "is a direct result of a lack of action by the State Legisla ture on water issues, and a lack of forcefullness and direction on the part of the Water Policy Review Board and the Department of Water Resources," Bennett said. "At present, there is really no state policy governing our use of Columbia River water." The District 55 candidate stated that at present, Oregon "couldn't enter into negotia tions with Washington or Idaho" on the Columbia water use issue, because "we're working in the dark we have no policy and we're using old information that doesn't fit today's needs."
