Oscar De La Cruz On Dean's List Oscar De La Cruz of Nyssa was included on the dean's list at Lane Community College, Eugene. A total of 1,976 students, including 328 with perfect 4.0 averages, have been named to the fall term honor roll at Lane Community College. Of the total. 699 are on the President’s list (3.5 to 3.99) and 949 are on the Dean's List (3.0 to 3.49). Local Student Makes Honor Roll Names of local students who made the scholastic honor roll fall term have been announced by Oregon State University. Among those listed is Sylvia L. Clark, senior. Science, of Nyssa. The Treasure Valley Com munity College budget com mittee and board of directors have been working lor.g and hard these past three weeks to formalize a budget for the 1977-78 college year by January 10. Unless a formal budget is presented to the board by that date, the proposed March 8 election date will have to be scuttled. The primary problem con fronting the 14-member board and committee has been keeping expenditures down without sacrificing the quality of any programs. Because of current economic conditions, the group has decided to keep next year's budget within a six percent increase. In order to accomplish that goal, the committee and board has already agreed to make cuts in the community education division and the department. counseling Moreover, the director of housing will be moved out of the operation budget into the housing budget, where funds do not come from local taxes.

Will the Ontario doctors be willing to assume responsi bility for the care of nursing home patients in Nyssa and Vale? So we see from the above that the quality of life in Nyssa is adversely affected by loss of the hospital. A large number of superficially unimportant features which collectively serve to maintain the phsyical and mental health of this area will become nonexistent. Suppose the vote is "yes”. I can envision a future similar to that described by those who are making the long range plans. Physically the hospital will be modernized and improved. Both inpatient and outpatient services will be more compre hensive and more skillfully delivered. As new aggressive capable physicians begin practicing here there will be an insistence on excellence of care as this new breed of doctors won't settle for anything less. The most recent scientific advances will become more available to you. The hospital will be able to afford them-running at high occupancy rates-and the physicians will expect such treatment tools to be available. All of the present advan tages of a local hospital will remain but there will be multiple almost inconceiv able spin-offs in addition to what we now have if the dreams of the present ad ministrator and the hospital board are given the chance to become reality. Thus there are two clearly dissimilar futures awaiting us depending upon how we choose. In either case Nyssa will still be Nyssa. It will continue but the lives of many of its children, adults, and elders will be profoundly altered by the presence or absence of community medi cal care. I understand that this levy, if it passes, will cost us individuals on the average about S20 per person this year. The large businesses of the area will also be paying a significant portion of the total levy. The final question the voter must answer tnen is: Malheur Memorial Hosphal- "To be or not to be” - and is all that worth $20? Tnamnoi 12 Tibs $^ 99 Re,. »3- no further recruitment in progress. As the years pass the number of existing available medical prac titioners continues to dwindle and eventually there are none. It’s a simple scenario-- the existing doctors get used up or leave and no new ones replace them. Medical in formation concerning even the simplest of problems such as minor aches, sore throats and your baby's diarrhea becomes increas ingly difficult to come by especially at the time you need it most. You will eventually have to phone out of town and more than likely deal with an answering service at unusual hours since these doctors will be working overtime to serve their own community as well as this one. Those of you who are admitted to out of town facilities will have to accept the fact that you probably won't have as many visits from your loved ones if they have to travel further to see you especially when the weather is bad. Of course there will be many other things missing which are now readily taken for granted. For example, fast and convenient care for minor injuries such as lacera tions and eye injuries. Prompt care for those injured on the farm or in the factory as well as reassurance to the worried who aren’t sure whether or not their condition constitutes an emergency. What about the ambulance service? Will it remain in operation, and if so who will run it? Or the nursing home? Will there be a nursing home when the doctors are gone?

"These cuts.” said Haynes, "will obviously result in some loss of service, but are preferable to reducing pro grams. Our programs attract a large number of students, and, consequently, state funds, thereby lowering local taxes.” The reason for keeping next year's budget to within six percent of this year’s is twofold. Board and budget members agree that in light of the current area economic situation, the budget must be held to an absolute minimum Also, an act of good faith, TVCC would like to illustrate that it can operate within a six percent increase, as stated in last fall's tax base election. Serving on this year's budget committee are: Dick Stam, Adrian; Dick Grigg and Dorrance Standage. Vale. John Kirby and Dr. Kenji Yaguchi-, Ontario; Arlene Robb. Nyssa: and Mary Wakasugi.

I can remember several similar cases but to those of you who are rarely ill. and those of you who aren't planning to become ill or injured next year, this is boring stuff. Since there are four doctors in town (and part of the year there were five) if each of the others can recall cases similar to these over the past year, maybe the figure of eight or nine is conservative. At any rate a small number of children and adults will die in any year because there Is no hospital in Nyssa.
