HHS site
council holds
meeting
The Heppner High School 21st
Century Site Council held its
monthly meeting on Oct. 27 at the
HHS library.
In new business council chair,
Bob Sagely, directed that the
council send a letter of thanks to
Pioneer Memorial Hospital ad
ministrator Kevin Erich,, for
allowing the site council to use
the hospital satellite tefe^iMon
facilities for its ED-NET inser
vices in October, November and
December.
Also discussed was the HHS
staff goal of “ peer coaching’’
program. Peer coaching is a pro
gram several Heppner High
teachers were trained in two years
ago. Teachers help each other
through positive mutual class
observations and conferences.
The staff had expressed an in
terest in reinstating the program
at the high school. The council
decided that, though desirable,
peer coaching should not be a top
priority at this time because the
council has a lot to accomplish in
the coming months. More discus
sion of the topic will occur at a
later date.
The major item of discussion
was the initiation grant applica
tion the site council is submitting.
After reading through the pro
posal, the council made some
semantic adjustments and discuss
ed the timeline for the grant plan.
A top priority for the grant will
be for planning the restructuring
of the schools as required by
Oregon HB3565, the 21st Cen
tury Oregon School Reform Act.
The council voiced a strong
consensus that the public be made
aware, and be given ample op
portunity for input when it comes
time for the state-mandated
restructuring of the schools. HHS
must be issuing “ Certificates of
Initial Mastery” by the 1995-96
school year, as required by the
law.
The next site council meeting
will be during an ED-NET inser
vice teleconference Nov. 16 at
3:30 p.m. at Pioneer Memorial
Hospital.

MCGG profits
hold steady
Profits at the Morrow County
Grain Growers held steady last
year, better than management had
anticipated.
Co-op Manager Larry Mills
told members at the annual
meeting Monday night that efforts
to expand MCGG’s market area
had paid off in the past year, off
setting a poor 1992 crop.
Mills also said the co-op can
expect a good year in 1994 thanks
to an exceptional harvest in 1993.
Net income for MCGG was up
slightly to $379,333 from the
previous year’s $371,659. Sales
for the year ending May 31 were
up over $34 million, almost $1
million more than last year.
The co-op’s auditor, Green &
Green of Pendleton said MCGG
was in good financial condition,
with its favorable debt to equity
ratio “ a very strong position for
the company.”
Mills said the company had ex
panded sales into surrounding
counties, which helped the com
pany during the past year.
Elected as new directors at the
annual meeting were: Keven
Haguewood, Steve Hill, Paul
Proudfoot and David Matheny.
