In other developments dur ing Monday's council meeting, it was announced that a scaled-down version of the Morgan Street Bridge re placement project will be put to bid on Oct. 26. Police Chief Dean Gilman advised the council that a runnmg poker game is being held in a room at the Wagon Wheel cafe and tavern. While cautioning that allowing the gaming to continue could have a snowball effect and spread to other Heppner nightspots, Gilman noted "there's no way you're going to stop gambling in Heppner." The police chief made no recommendations about possible action on the gambling situation, stating that he merely wanted city officials to be made aware of the situation. Mayor Sweeney said per sonnel from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission had checked into the matter and determined that the Wagon Wheel gaming situation falls into the legal category of "social gambling."

Parents are urged to discuss post-high school plans with their sons and daughters before and after the visitation program. . IV! TWO BMCC starts new year of adult farm management Getting 20 new families signed up for the adult farm management program at BMCC is the goal of instructor Walt Giacomini. Adult farm management is entering its fourth year at Blue Mountain Community College. Thirty-six farm fam ilies .are currently enrolled with 15 of those scheduled to complete the program this fall. The farm management pro gram is a unique educational opportunity. "I will visit the farmer once a month at his home with him and other members of his family who are interested," Giacomini explained. The farmer-students then come to the BMCC campus one night a month for class. Farmers themselves, wives, daughters, sons and hired help all may be involved if they wish. "i go out of my way not to inconvenience the farmers," Giacomini said. "Adults have a lot of pressure to attend other meetings.

Clas ses meet every third Monday of the month thereafter. Giacomini is conducting the signing up process now and enrollment will continue throughout the fall. Interested farmers may call him at the college (276-1260) or at home 276-8583). The farm management pro gram stresses farm record keeping the first year. The second year introduces analy sis of these records. In the third year management decis ions are made based on the analysis. Instruction is given - on various phases of a farm management including record keeping, budgeting, cash flow budgeting and analysis, mar keting, machinery manage ment, labor management and tax management. "We don't replace account ants. We help farmers make sure their records are in better shape for accountants Heppner Fillies' Jackie Mollohan jumps high to return serve in volleyball action in Heppner last week.

The one demand of the program is that a participant have actual records of a farm to work with. The tuition cost of the program is $100 per year per farm. Confidentiality in working with farm records is itrictly observed, according to Giacomini. "I've had some people come to class and say 'he's in the program?' when they see someone they know. That someone may be very successful farmer. The fact that he is management-oriented makes him successful," Giacomini related. While measuring the suc cess of the BMCC program is in the subjective stages, Giacomini points to research in Minnesota that shows adult farm management programs "definitely increase the new worth of participants." One success story the instru ctor especially remembers is when one farmer came up and said, "This program just made me $5,000." Through better record keeping, a mistake was picked up saving Cont. on page 3
