NOTEBOOK
Literature: Gallagher well-liked
Continued from Page 1A
She is a retired teacher
from Western Oregon Univer-
sity, having taught children’s
literature to future teachers
for more than 20 years.
“She has a reputation for
being one of the best re-
sources around,” said Fran
Kosko, retired Monmouth li-
brarian. “She has such a love
and interest, and loves shar-
ing that.”
It’s that reputation that
made members of the Ore-
gon Reading Association
board decide to name the
new children’s choice award
after her in 1997, Karen An-
tikajian, board member of
the ORA, said.
“She was very well-respect-
ed and liked,” Antikajian said.
“She is an extremely gracious
person with a great sense of
humor and, of course, a
wealth of knowledge about
children’s literature.”
Gallagher tells a different
story about how the award
came to be named after her.
“Well, the joke is, and it’s
one I started and perpetuate,
is that most of the board was
made up of my former stu-
dents,” she said.
Gallagher’s love of reading
has transferred from her stu-
dents to theirs.
Business start-up workshop slated
EMILY MENTZER/ Itemizer-Observer
Jade Morris, Lilly Sims, Isaac Hoffman and Will Hoffman sit with Patricia Gallagher. Each
child got to take home his or her favorite book after reading time with Gallagher.
Lynne Rainwater of Al-
bany is one of those former
students. She taught at Mon-
mouth Elementary School
for about 20 years. When she
met Gallagher, she said she
was “blown away.”
“I thought I was a lover of
books and literature,” Rain-
water recalled. “It wasn’t
until I met her that I truly
found I loved it and wanted
to share it.”
Gallagher includes every-
body in her love for books,
Rainwater said.
“There was a time during
the read-aloud and sharing
of books that was going real-
ly good … I could almost feel
Pat emanating from me,” she
said. “I thought, ‘Oh my
gosh, do I even have her
voice right now?’”
INDEPENDENCE — If you live in Polk County, have a business
idea and need some help getting your momentum going,
MERIT’s Polk Rural Business Springboard may be for you.
This 11-week series will help you examine the feasibility of
your business concept, assess your personal readiness, identify
the steps you need to take and provide you access to the people
and information you need to successfully launch the business. In-
formation will be presented by MERIT staff, instructors and busi-
ness professionals, and will cover personal financial manage-
ment, legal formation, licensing and registration, bookkeeping,
access to capital, and developing a plan to operate the business.
Class size is limited, and registration is restricted to rural Polk

Following completion of the exploratory phase of this series on

readiness to proceed to the launch phase. Only those partici-
pants whose business concepts can be implemented within
nine months will continue into the remaining classes of the se-
ries. For those participants not continuing, action steps will be

Shamanism is the path of direct revelation. It is
a spiritual healing method that has been prac-
ticed over 100,000 years. Shamanism is world-
wide. No one culture invented the drum or
shamanism. The purpose of shamanism is to
help and heal others.
