Donations being collected for Gould family With the lazy-daisy-days of summer upon us and w ith harvest about over and school about to begin its annual door opening, strange thoughts pass through my mind. Our kids have graduated from the various high schools, on to college and leaving our small community forever... this after their families have invested life savings to pay for mind-boggling tuition fees to four-year colleges. Just doesn’t seem right, somehow. In some ways, this is a good thing for those who can afford it, but for those who cannot afford it, it rapidly becomes a gigantic problem. I am pretty sure that sending our kids to a college or university is a top priority in most family want lists. So how can families solve the high cost of college tuition? 1 got to thinking about the answer to this question. One answer lies in our own backyard. It is called Blue Mountain Community College, a two-year institution for an associate degree or two years of basic instruction to carry on to any four-year college or university. Think o f it. Two years of college at BMCC at literally half the cost of any four-year institution. Further, specialty departments within BMCC are tailored to our very own communities for job growth. Another thought I had was how to develop jobs for our graduating seniors and keep them in our own communities. Take, for instance, the Port of Morrow. This Port district has brought into our area world-class industry and commerce second only to the Portland area. These companies and institutions such as ConAgra and Tillamook Cheese and Food Processing right now are recruiting young, eager students who have good work ethics. BMCC in our own backyard has the capability of working closely with these companies to tailor classes that meet the needs of these companies. So, after thinking of this, it came to me that we can “have our cake and eat it, too.” Simple—the combination of Blue Mountain Community College, a “good old country work force” and the tremendous industry job recruitment in process at the Port of Morrow offers a no-brainer solution to jobs, affordable education and stabilizing our communities. What do you think about this? Just spittin’ and whistlin’ for something to do.

The residency program, w hich ended June 30, enrolled 323 registered nurses from 106 rural hospitals in 23 states. The initial goal was to have 85 percent of the nurses who completed the program stay on the job for one year. “We exceeded that goal with an 88 percent retention rate—284 nurses stayed at least one year,” said Hewett. As for Schonbachler, she says the residency was well worth her time, especially the session on treating gunshot wounds. “ We live in a hunting community,” she said. S c h o n b a c h le r also m a d e c o p ie s o f th e classroom lessons to share with her nursing colleagues. Hewett says the success o f the ISU N o rth w est Rural N urse Residency dem onstrates a need for nurse residencies, and she's looking for ways to sustain the program now that the funding has ended. “It proves there is a need for transition to practice for any health care provider. They do residencies for physicians, so why not nurses?” she said. l!$EASE KEEP JOHN ANDASHU f* '-F M n y io youR thoughts AND THEIWi prw rs -'*'' i f ftshli's Hshli’s fa th e r was in a head on collision in Silverton, OR and is >fg » a t Legacy Emanuel Hospital• Hospital- flshli’s family members are tra v - fr eling bach and fo rth to the hospital and we would like to let people know th a t there is a ja r for any donations you may care Y to donate for them a t /Hurray Drugs, Inc- fry Thank you and God bless- Friends o f The Gould family 217 North Main St., Heppner • Phone 676-9158 • Floral 676-9426 ALL NEWS ANO ADVERTISEMENT DEADLINE: Serving Morrow, Wheeler & Gilliam counties Since 1959 MONDAYS AT 5:00 P.M. ; » t I I
