David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers LETTERS TO THE EDITOR For BMCC budget To the Editor: I am writing in regard to the upcoming levy election for Blue Mountain Community College on Tuesday. May 19. As a member of the board of education for the college. I feel this coming election is. probably the most critical levy election the college has faced in its nineteen years of operation. Your support and vote are needed. The resubmitted budget has been thoroughly reviewed by the budget committee and board. It provides for no new services or construction funds. With the expected shortfall of state funds the college will probably not be able to provide the same level Setting the record To the Editor: The Oregonian on April 26. 1981, carried an article on alternatives to Nur'"R Home Care. One of our hospital board members called it to my attention. All of us involved in the Pioneer Memorial Hospital are committed to the principle that our older citizens in need of care receive that care in whatever form is best for the individual involved. We feel our Tri County Home Health agency is doing an excellent job. Through their efforts, several folks have been able to stay at home to enjoy life to a greater degree. One of the purposes for writing this letter is to call your readers (and the readers of the Oregonian) attention to the fact that either the author of the article in question was using maximum nursing home fee schedules to shew as great as comparison as possible or the rates in the Portland area are substantially higher than they are at Pioneer Memorial Hospital. The Oregonian article quot- For Road levy To the Editor: Let's all take a good look at the May 19 serial road improvement levy for Morrow County. A six page informa tional package has .been drawn up for the public.' Get yours from the closest Road Committee member (all 16 have copies) or from the Road Department office. There is something in the plan for everyone. The cities get help ($240,000. annually), the paved roads get fixed, and much more maintance money and time will get allocated to gravel roads, but each year for three years you will notice a big difference in road quality. The plan develops a logical, affordable, clear cut pattern to our road reconstruction needs. The Court, Road Department, 16 member Road committee, and dozens of concerned plan's contents, and pledge to make the plan work if the levy is passed. The plan has been a very unselfish effort by all concerned. It was fun working on it. Please look at the plan, and don't pass up a good deal May 19. Respectfully, Eric Anderson levy of services it has this last year. But I feel with the proposed budget the college can con tinue to provide the kind of educational services the people of Morrow and Umatil la counties require. I also believe the proposed budget is within the means of the people in the two-county district. Blue Mountain Community College was founded to pro vide needed educational ser vices for the people of the district at a cost they can afford. I feel this budget meets these goals. The future of BMCC is in your hands, I urge your continued support. Sincerely, Bob Rietmann lone. Oergon straight ed the cost for home health care for the individual involv ed at $357 per month and stated that nursing home care would have averaged $1,728 per month. To set the record straight, the average charge to our guests in Pioneer Memorial Hospital Nursing Home for the last three months has been $1,078.00. This is much differ ent than the $1,728.00 quoted in the article. It is interesting to note that Adult and Family Services pay the hospital $940 per month to care for those folks that are not able to pay personally. The difference must then be absorbed in our budget as an operational expense. Thank you for this opportun ity to set the record straight and again our congratulations to Sheridan Tarnasky and her helpers at Tri County Home Health for a job well done. Sincerely, A. K. Felt Administrator Pioneer Memorial Hospital (and Nursing Home) Mahons to celebrate birthday, anniversary The family of Jack and Lorraine Mahon, of Joseph, Ore., wishes to extend an invitation to attend a combination 35th wedding anniversary and birthday celebration on Saturday, May 9, at 3 p.m. at the Roy Carter residence in Joseph.
