David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers TO THE Not very democratic To the Editor: A lot of my friends, the senior citizens who have enjoyed the meals at the Heppner Neighborhood Center dining room are asking. "Why can't we eat there anymore it is clean, pleasant and very well located." Frankly. I'm confused at the method this decision was arrived at. Let me explain-as I am involved: On Febraury 18, the AAA (Area Agency on Aging), consisting of representation from the five counties in this district (Morrow, Wheeler, Grant, Gilliam, and Umatilla) had their regular scheduled meeting at the Columbia Basin Co-op. In the process of the meeting a recommen dation from the executive board of ECOAC was put before the house for a vote. This motion was: "That the meal-site at the Heppner Neighborhood Center be clos ed and the contract of the coordinator be terminated as of 4-1-1981." I was speechless: X am an officer in the local S C. Aduisory Council and I also have knowledge of the happen ings in the Meal-site Council (because I volunteer at the Center and have typed their meeting minutes). I am a member of the AAA by these associations. The motion was voted on and passed. I abstained-because I couldn't believe it was happening- without going through the logical channels. I was lead to believe this was a group of people brought together by a common interest and concern for the older people in our area and that those concerns would be acted on according to our democratic way. The people mostly concerned would have their say and vote- then the next group would consider and vote. No, that is not how it works: as this action demon strated. The progression order should have been 1. Meal-site Council (local) 2. Morrow County Advisory Council (county) 3. AAA representa tives from the five counties (group of counties) 4. ECOAC a group that was organized as an over-all planning group for these five counties now it has a small funding power related to the meals. When this meeting was over I started asking the same questions most of the senior citizens are asking and found that one or two people (not a V7V March 14 - Lexington Sponsored By Holly All YouCanEatFor90PerPe ffCaraS 1 " er Prizes & Refreshments This Ad Sponsored By ifMORROW COUNTY GRAIN GROWERS EDITOR majority and without general knowledge of a meeting) from the meal-site had gone to Pendleton for discussions, etc. Not the democratic way. On the day before the scheduled AAA meeting-two or possibly three members of the local (county) group not a majority and without general knowledge of this group went to Pendleton for a discussion meeting. This meeting was held with the ECOAD execu tive board, consisting of members from the five coun-ties-that did not have know- " ledge of the local situation only as presented by a private-interest group. Not the democratic way! If this matter had been - handled in the proper demo cratic way the seniors that were being served there would have a voice in the decision to change. In a small group of the concerned parties it could have been discussed and a better understanding of the problem arrived at. An impli cation that has come out as a reason for moving was-the room was not safe fire-wise. . Please, seniors don't be fright ened by this reasoning. Mr. Green, the owner, at the time of remodeling, followed the direction of the state fire marshall and it was OK'd by him. Another reason given for moving was: we do not have the proper percentage of people using the facility. If that is a sound and proper reason it should apply to all meal-sites in the district. It does not. Pendleton is the largest town and their own Senior Center has the worse record of the district percentage-wise. Not very demo cratic' A few days ago I was complaining about the un democratic way this matter was handled and the way the decision came from the top down, to a representative of ECOAC and they answered "Sometimes unpleasant dec isions are made by "higher ups" because people don't know what is best for them." Very, very un democratic. As long as we are living in a democracy-we have a right to expect democratic treatment and if a rule is appliable to one group or situation that same rule is applicable to another. Thank you for listening to me. Theta Lowe CHOWDER pern LLL 5:30 PM IOOF Hall Rebekah Lodge Person 8:00 p.
