ISO percent in the last 10 years,
report housing experts.
Although the advancing costs

utilities are nearly as high.

To the editor:
As you know, Blue Mountain
Community College has just
completed another successful
budget election. I am taking
this opportunity to thank the
voters in south Morrow

our recent budget election.
As many of you are aware,
we do have a large number of
students each year from south

whom do well academically
and also contribute to our
various student organizations.
In recent years we have
implemented several cost cut

out damaging the quality of
instruction at the college. The
college will continue to exer
cise good money management
to insure that taxpayers are
receiving the maximum benfit

We join with them in pray
ing that Christian Love will be
the hallmark of all who pro
fess to follow Christ, and that
the seeds of bigotry will die
the death that will bring about
a furthering of the true spirit

required by law to conduct an

effort to establish a tax base.
Approval of the tax base will
not impact the 1984 levy as it is
exactly the same amount that
voters approved on March
27th for the 1984 operating
levy. The college board is
recommending the establish

continued support for the col

would be greatly appreciated.
I want to express my per

people in south Morrow Coun

Committee in support of the
college budget election. I will
not attempt to name all those
people as the number of peo

Band needs positive feedback
To the editor:
After reading few public
statements concerning Hep
pner schools not having a band
in the St. Patrick's parade I
would like to address those
concerned people.
In direct response to what
was printed in the minutes to
the school board meeting I
first must say that I never so
much as asked my high school
band to perform let alone
committed them. I tentatively
agreed to try to organize a
marching unit from the grade
school and junior high bands.
As time went on it became a
question of priorities. March
5-11 was National Music In
Our Schools Week. I consider
this an annual event worth
noting so 1 prepared all the
bands for assembly concerts
during this week. This left one
week before the St. Patrick's
parade and I notified Terry
Voltz, a full week before the
parade, that we would not be
able to organize a suitable unit
in one short week where the
kids were not available or
willing to commit time to after
school rehearsals. To teach
young band students, with no
prior experience at marching,
how to march and play music
at the same time in less than
three hours of rehearsal is not
a realistic notion especially if
you want even a reasonable
amount of professionalism.
Four or five weeks would be
more reasonable. Of course
that would mean a shift of
priorities for spring from Mu
sic In Our Schools Week to St.
Patrick's parade week. As a
music educator I personally
feel the former is the more
sound educational priority.
Last year we had all four
bands play concerts down
town. St. Patrick's day was on
a school day and all the bands
were very cooperative about
doing it. The audiences were
little or none but it was a
chance to get out of the
classroom.
The reaction to our not
participating this year does
not surprise me. I find that
most of the comments I re
ceive throughout the year are
less than positive. We played
about 17 pep band perform
ances and split it by playing
the second half of the girl's
game and the first half of the
boy's game. The band re
Heppner man critical,
but O.K. at Wa. hospital
Last Wednesday night,
March 28, Richard Flaiz, 35, of
Heppner, suffered a brain
hemorrhage and was taken by
Lifeguard III to St. Mary
Hospital in Walla Walla.
A family member reports
that soon after he arrived at
St. Mary's Hospital, brain
surgery was performed. Flaiz
began to come out of the coma
last Friday, but still lapses in

ceived practically no recogni
tion even though we were the
last link of school spirit left.
The major comment was ask
ing why we did not play for all
the boy's game. It was a
constant struggle to obtain full
participation from all of the
band students even though pep
. band is a number one priority
in the school spirit and to the
lack of Interest In the com
munity to show support for the
kids themselves. They are the
ones that need to be told
regularly that you appreciate
their efforts to provide enter
tainment at ball games and
they need your attendance at
their concerts. Positive feed
back is the greatest motivator
I can think of and the public
could help in that department.
Back to St. Patrick's now.
This event is organized by the
merchants to promote an in
flux of potential dollars to
Heppner as a commercial ven
ture. The bands are under
absolutely no obligation to
perform for this affair. If we
do perform it would be be
cause the students over
whelmingly want to and not
because it is a viable educa
tional experience. I In no way
can require my students to
participate and will not re
quire them to. If they want to I
will gladly prepare them and
direct their efforts. I suggest
that those people in the com
munity that want a Heppner
band in the St. Patrick's par
ade begin their efforts now
and all year long to encourage
the students and give them
positive feedback regularly.
Direct your requests and pos
itive comments to them and
not me. They are the ones who
will ultimately perform for
you. If you are not willing to
make that commitment then
don't expect them to jump up
and down about taking a day
off from spring vaction to
march in the parade.
I try to maintain a low
profile and feel that any credit
for a job well done should go to
the students. I get personally
angry and bitter when they do
not receive the recognition
they undoubtably deserve.
Don't take their efforts for
granted.
Don Christensen
Heppner Band Teacher
an out of consciousness. "He is
listed as critical and will be
for awhile, but he's all right,"
says his sister Sandra Dames.
Flaiz is expected not to be
paralyzed as he has already
recovered some movement
and will undergo therapy. He
is expected to remain at the
hospital for approximately
two months.
