By Molly Rhea No one can say we don’t have choices in south Morrow County, at least in regard to our health care providers. Pioneer Memorial Clinic is proud to be considered home base for three very dissimilar individuals who are employed by the Morrow County Health Distnct to provide medical care. Dr. Saumyajit (Sam) Datta, with a friendly smile and an endearing accent, hails from Calcutta, India. Datta’s wife, Deepa, is also a physician, with pathology as her speciality. The couple have two preschool age children, son, Argho, and daughter, Shibani, and have recently purchased a home on Chase Street in Heppner. After coming to America the Dattas lived in New York for five years in order for the couple to complete their internships and residencies. When asked about hobbies Datta says, “Surfing - the Internet that is.” He likes to read, but says he doesn’t have time for novels and, as for music, prefers easy listening or traditional music from India. Datta admits his greatest passion is his family. Dr. Greg Lytle grew up in Woodbum, graduated from the College of Osteopathic Medicine in Pomona, CA, and did his internship and residency at Des Moines General Hospital. Lytle, a high energy person, has played the drums for a rock and roll band for almost 30 years. As for reading, Lytle says he reads only medical books and history and is not interested in fiction. Lytle and his wife, Karen, moved to Heppner last year after living in Pendleton for eight years.

The Lytles have two daughters, Heather, who is attending Blue Mountain Community College, and Megan, who is in the seventh grade at Heppner Junior High. Sheridan Tamasky RN, PA, has lived in Heppner most of her life. Sheridan is a careful listener, and often seems to “read between the lines” of conversations. Tamasky and her husband, Ed, also have two children, A.J. and Alecia. Tamasky is the proud grandmother o f Gracie and excited about the prospect of having another grandchild “on the way”. Most of Tamasky's career has been in Heppner. She has worked as a charge nurse at Pioneer Memorial Hospital, was director of Tri-County Home Health for seven years, and worked as director of nursing at PMH for more than six years before going t0 ®HSU to eam her degree as a physician's assistant. Tamasky is active in St. Patrick Catholic church, enjoys listening to “elevator music”, likes to read science fiction, and says her dog, Baxter, keeps her entertained. Although a person would be hard put to find three more diverse backgrounds, they make up an interesting, yet very workable combination. There are no ego issues between these professionals, and they can be frequently found consulting with one another over various aspects o f a patient’s condition or course o f care. Patients say they appreciate the individuality, as well as the individual care they receive. These three frequently telephone their patients at home to check on their progress and condition, and yes, will even make house calls if the situation warrants. Monies available for workshops Attention, employers. Whether you employ one employee, a few employees, or a large staff, you have access to funding for the upgrading of employee skills, for retraining o f employees, and for employee training workshops. The application process is not complicated, and you can be reimbursed for up to $5000 in expenses, up to $500 per employee. This opportunity comes through the newly formed "Morrow-Oregon- Baker Partnership." With lottery money, this regional alliance will be working with the two counties' citizens, business owners, and organizations for economic development. Its "Education and Training Fund" is one such use of lottery funds offered to employers. The funds are awarded on a reimbursement basis. Training may be available through CAPECO (276- 1926, ext. 110), so employers will want to check with that agency. Also, employers sometimes receive information from their professional associations about employee seminars and training that will meet the guidelines of the grant fund. Interested employers and self-employed owners of companies are encouraged to go to Heppner City Hall for applications. Scholarship applications due Applications for Maryan McElligott scholarship awards for the school year 2001-2002 will be accepted by the Oregon Student Assistance Commission until March 1, 2001.
