BMCC to present
play ‘Antigone’
College Community Theatre’s
winter production of “Antigone”
by Jean Anouilh, will open Febru
ary 8 and play through February
16 at the Pioneer Theatre on the
BMCC Pendleton campus.
“Antigone” is a modem
language version of the Greek
myth of O edipus’ daughter,
Antigone, who defied her state
government in burying her brother.
This classic of world theatre was
first written by Sophocles in ap
proximately 400 B.C., and deals
with the clash between what is
required of us as citizens, versus
what our persona conscience dic
tates. “Antigone also raises the
question of what is the meaning
of any human life, and how we
actively or passively chose the
purpose of life,” according to a
BMCC news release.
“The cast is a strong
combination of community talent
and BMCC Theatre students,”
said the release. In the role of
Creon is David Mitzimberg.
Antigone is played by Emmery
Raw, the Nurse is June Kononen,
the Choms is Carl Merkle, Ismene
is Melissa Resner, Haemon is
Chris Prowant. Terry Gray is
Jonas, First Guard, Chris
McClellan is the Messenger, the
Guards are Stephan Zacharias and
Adam Schwarz, Sam Epstein is
the page and Alice English is
Eurydice. The play is directed by
Joanna Goff, BMCC theatre arts
instructor.
The cost is $4 for stu
dents, $7 for seniors, and $8 for
adults. Tickets can be held over
the phone, or may be picked up in
person at the CCT box office,
beginning Jan. 28, Monday,
Wednesday and Friday from 1-4
p.m. For tickets and information
call the CCT box office at 278-

Ione-Lexington
Advisory
recommends lone
School floor plan
After much deliberation
at their Jan. 24 meeting, the Ione-
Lexington Advisory Committee
recommended a floor plan for
configuration of classrooms for
the construction of the new lone
elem entary School and the
remodeling of the lone High
School.
The committee approved
the architect’s concept #5 with
modifications. According to Todd
Turner, architect with Barber
Barrett Turner Architects Inc.,
Bend, the plan the committee
approved was similar to concept
#4 which had been previously
considered by the committee.
Com m ittee member Ralph
Morter was the sole opponent to
the recommendation of concept
#5.
Concept #5 calls for one
centrally located library, with two
separate, but adjoining computer
labs, which would be used by
elementary, middle school and
high school students. The
com m ittee recom mended a
m odification to the library/
computer lab plan which would
include access to bathroom
facilities from inside the library.
Morter expressed his
frustration at the Morrow County
School Board and asked why a
previous plan, which called for
two separate libraries, one in the
elementary school and one in the
high school, had not been given
any consideration by the board.
“1 hadn’t seen anywhere where
the superintendent had the
authority to make changes on the
plan,” said Morter. “We’ve
beaten our heads against the wall,
because you don’t like what we
came up with,” said Morter, who
added that he felt the board was
holding out until “we (the advisory
committee) cave in.” “If you (the
school board) are not going to
listen to us, then take it away from
us,” he said. School board
member John Rietmann. who was
in attendance at the committee
meeting, replied that. “The design
was not going to be approved, so
the board tabled it and sent it back
to the advisory committee.” The
cost of building two libraries was
determined to be cost-prohibitive.
The m odifications o f
concept #5 approved by the
committee include placing the
administrative office in the space
designated as a seventh-grade
classroom in the elementary
building, so that administration is
more centrally located, to
facilitate greater supervision over
the younger children and easier
access for them. The middle
school/junior high classroom, in
turn, would be situated in the area
designated in concept #5 as
administration.
The committee debated
extensively whether the middle
school/junior high school
classrooms should be placed in
the elementary school or at the
high school. Committee members
expressed their desire to continue
to maintain the middle school’s
identity. Concerns raised about
possible adverse affects on
elementary and junior high school
students who will be in the library
which also serves high school
students. Some in the audience
were concerned about the
younger students attending class
in close proximity to high school
students, although others in the
audience commented that the
students are already commingled
in many instances with few
adverse effects.
The com m ittee also
discussed placement of the tennis
courts which will be dislocated
when the new elementary school
is built. Possible options for
relocation of the courts discussed
at the meeting include on the
drain field, across the street, at the
bus bam site and at the city park,
with the drain field site preferred.
In other business, the
committee heard that the lone
School had received an
“excellent" rating for the second
year in a row on the state school
report card. It was announced
that Heppner High School also
received an excellent rating this
year.
