Funds from this bond will build facilities in Pendleton, Hermiston and Boardman to support new educational programs in applied animal science, precision irrigated agriculture and industrial workers, respectively, as well as updating infrastructure and fixing aging facilities on the main campus at Pendleton, and enhance current facilities in Milton-Freewater, Boardman, and Hermiston. Agriculture is the heart of our local economy and each of these major improvements supports important needs to provide trained workers while allowing local students to stay close to home. Of the three new programs being proposed, I am most acquainted with precision agriculture and the opportunities for now and the possibilities for the future. This area is truly a hot topic today and will be in the years ahead as we learn to use technology to increase or maintain crop yields with reduced inputs. Actually, a hungry world needs and is looking for new technology and those who know how to apply this technology in agriculture. Given that BMCC is located in the center of one of the most technology-advanced growing regions in the world, building a precision agriculture program also makes sense. The time is right, the location makes sense and the needs are great, so let's support local opportunities for our students. 1 strongly support this bond measure and encourage voters in our region to do so as well. (s) Phil Hamm , Hermiston Confused about all of the turmoil in domestic and world events? Thank goodness there is one bright spot on the local level. Our local workforce and high school graduates have a rock solid provider o f higher education and specialized training in Morrow and Umatilla counties, all within driving distance... New, high-technology business is moving into the Port of Morrow and into Umatilla County's industrial and agricultural base. All of this is taking place without a workforce following. Blue Mountain Community College is the provider of high-tech information to kick-start bright young minds into the land of new opportunities. Now it is our turn to put our shoulders to the wheel and make sure that we don’t take all this for granted. BMCC is introducing a continuation capital levy for your approval Nov. 5. Upgrading the existing buildings into the 21st century and adding facilities to accommodate our young workforce into the advancing technology coming into our area. The new capital improvement levy is a continuation the same one, same rate per thousand as the old one expiring. No change. There is one caveat; we need your vote. Be there for our kids.

Support for BMCC bond renewal After 32 years o f teaching and adm inistrative experience in three Oregon community colleges, I can tell you without hesitation that quality training programs depend upon state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. New programs that prepare students for local and regional jobs are the things that community colleges do best. But to do and be the best, a constant vigil must be kept to keep pace with ever-changing technology. Blue Mountain Community College’s reputation locally and statewide has always been one of excellence. Ballot Measure 30-96 is a capital improvement bond renewal that focuses on new workforce training programs, as well as updating existing computer and communication infrastructure. I encourage you to join me in voting yes on Ballot Measure 30-96 in support of BMCC and the excellence in education and training it brings to northeastern Oregon.
