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

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.
