For the past four years, I've been involved in BMCC's Adult Education Program as the teacher in Heppner. The adult program here as well as in Boardman, Hermiston, Pendleton and Milton-Free-water provides an opportunity for adults to choose from several options.

In these times of economic hardship it is important to get the most from your money, and education is no exception. Blue Mountain Community College has many programs that cater to diversified inte rests.

Blue Moun tain Community College sub mits its budget to the district voters for approval. The board of directors and budget com mittee have developed an ex tremely tight budget with a total tax levy increase of only 3.5 percent.

I live near Burns, but have come all the way up here to go to school, mainly because I think it's the best college of all my choices. The tuition here is only one-third of what it is at a state college and I feel that you learn a lot more in a smaller school.

Presently, we have adults enrolled in all of these areas. The importance and need of BMCC's Adult Education Pro gram seems obvious since our enrollment keeps increasing throughout the two counties. It's exciting to think a com munity the size of Heppner can provide adult education for its citizens. Personally, it's rewarding to witness the suc cess of adults who have achieved their goals.

Oregon 97801 Cheap shot To the editor: One of the absolute delights of being in a public position is that of accepting the scrutiny of those who understand only enough of an issue to comment based upon assumptions that make up the balance of the facts of the issue I refer to the Letter to the Editor of March 10 that ap peared concerning the meet ing at Columbia Basin Elec tric office of members of the Northwest Regional Power Council and Columbia Basin Electric Cooperative. This meeting was held only because of the constant com munications of concern by staff and board members ex pressing the concerns of the members of the cooperatiave to the council members and was not established by the council as a public meeting. The highly publicized public meeting intended for consu mer input, not sponsored by any particular utility, but by (he council itself, was held in Expressing concern To the editor. I wish to express my con cern for the upcoming election on March 29 to the voters of Umatilla and Morrow coun ties. On the ballot will be a budget levy for Blue Mountain Community College. Blue Mountain is of great importance to the two-county area, for it provides training opportunities in both vocational and transfer areas Df education. BMCC allows students who might not have the funds to attend four-year institutions the chance to further their education at the community college level. This institution has a repu tation of providing quality graduates from many fields. Many of BMCC's curricula have a high reputation To clarify ?To the editor As a rule, I do not take the time to answer a derogatory letter to the editor, but for my own defense and clarifica tion. I must reply to my friend, Marvin Padberg. Yes. Roy Hemingway and Al Hampson, the two people representing Oregon on the Northwest Power Planning Council, did meet with Fred Toombs and me at the Hep pner office. Because I had talked to Roy four or five times before and Fred had talked to him a couple of times. Roy extended us the courtesy of asking to meet with the two of us to discuss our problems which are unique for the state. Roy and Al were on their way that same day to a well-publicized public meeting in Pendleton, where any protest which con sumers wanted to organize would have ben appropriate Out of common courtesy to the irrigators, we did invite a few of them to sit in on our ry HiHSIEuilE Ml voo A gift can be given anytime to express a feeling when words fail.

Very few utilities have had the opportunity to have the council take valuable tiire to listen to (lie concerns of indi vidual circumstances and we should feel gratified that their interest is sufficient in our particular problems to meet with us on a one on one basis. In the past, many opportun ities have been afforded those consumers who wished to have input into the regional plan which does have a great affect on all of us. To the best of my knowledge, very few consumers have taken advan tage of these opportunities. Those who have made the effort have found it reward ing. I consider the accusations of lack of publicity a cheap shot at what was intended as a sincere effort to aid all of our consumers and not a select group. Fred R. Toombs, Manager Columbia Basin Electric Cooperative, Inc. throughout the state and Northwest. I graduated last year from BMCC with an Associate Degree in Production Agricul ture. I am now attending BMCC for a third year to educate myself in the areas of electronics and computers which I feel is the trend of the future. Blue Mountain has allowed me to stay in the community in which I work and get the education I need, without the expense of a four year institution. It is my hope that the voters will cast their ballot for Blue Mountain Community College. Please vote "Yes" on March 29 Merle H Gehrke A S B. President Rt.2Box 13 Echo. Oregon 97826 meeting so that Roy and Al could get the story from some of the irrigators themselves. We had nearly three hours of give and take from all of us on many items of mutual interest to all our consumers. Roy Hemingway and Al Hampson thanked us for the chance to meet wiih us and remarked on the excellent information they received from our group. But no way could we have turned this into a large public meeting. It would have defeated the intent and purpose of their informa tional meeting requested with Fred and me. It is never our intent to conduct Columbia Basin busi ness in secrecy and we will continue to include the mem bership by holding public meetings and by letter as we have done in the past.
