Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, January 13, 1993 - FIVE lone youth group assists homeless lone Youth Group and leaders gather outside on Burnside Melissa McElligott and Mac Lovett donate gloves to Sr. Maria Francis over the two days. At Outreach By Anne Morter The lone Youth Group made a pre-Christmas service trip to the Burnside area o f Portland December 2 1 and 22. The group volunteered their services to several of the agencies in the area and were given tasks ranging from cleaning to serving food to wrapping Christmas presents for homeless children. Instead of preparing a meal for the homeless as they have done in the past, the group channeled their funds into providing gloves for needy people. Morrow Coun ty Grain Growers sold the youth group 85 pairs of gloves at their cost, which the students donated to Outreach M inistries for distribution. Youth group coor dinator, Jeri McElligott, said that the gloves w^.c donated on Mon day, and on Tuesday, she was pleased to see a man wearing a pair at Blanchet House. The four adult leaders split the group into four smaller groups and all of the groups rotated through five different agencies Ministries, they cleaned apart ments and did office work. O utreach M inistries is an organization that becomes “ fami ly” for homeless people. They find apartments, clean those apartm ents and handle the finances of 50-60 people who might not be able to do so on their own. Recovery Inn, a night shelter for men (formerly Baloney Joes) was another stop. There the volunteers sorted clothes, folded blankets, washed walls and clean ed the sleeping room. At the Sisters of the Road Cafe, the group waited tables, bused tables and helped in the kitchen. This c:'.fe serves homeless people a meal for $ 1.25 and is authot ,z- ed to accept food stamps. People without money are allowed to work for their meals. Blanchet House is a soup kit chen, operated by the Catholic Church, which serves breakfast and lunch 365 days a year. Group members helped serve soup at Blanchet. The Monday group By Mertyn Wobtnaon Does it seem like it’s been winter forever-a time to keep home fires stoked and the snow boots handy? But no one dares to grumble too loudly because of the freeze-dried moisture. However, we are fortunate compared with areas that are buried in snow and that our white stuff hasn’t been whirled into impassable drifts. Though the majority of people aren’t stuck at home anymore when the weather and roads get risky, it still tends to generate a “ cabin fever” mentality after the December bustle before Christmas. In case you’re not a snowmobiler there are always soap operas or movies. So I won’t dwell on non-entertaining things like income tax preparation, neglected craft projects, cleaning out drawers, rear ranging closets or trying new recipes. Livestock producers get plenty of outdoor exercise as the weather whets animal appetites. Needless to say, there are usually some newborns that need help when born into a cold cruel atmosphere. Even our stock dog prefers a cozy indoor rug instead of crisp straw in the barn. When the thermometer is stuck on zero. It’s still a far cry from when there wasn’t an abundance of four wheel drive vehicles and country roads often became bottomless. It was during the winter of 1949-50 that just a few miles from town it seemed like we were cut off from the rest of the world. For nearly three months there was nothing but snow, drifts and zero temperatures. Cut off from Saturday night dances and get-togethers seemed like cruel and unusual punishment to me. It was only when our neighbors, the Al Fetches took pity on us that we socialized for an evening of card playing and homemade ice cream, thanks to their small jeep. Come February, we were still stuck in the “ hollow” with no relief in sight. The herd instinct caused me to devise a plan that would get us to the “ can’t miss' Elks annual. We rode horseback to town leav ing our hired man to fend with overnight chores. No, we didn’t stomp into the dance wearing cowboy boots. A suit and a long formal had been carefully packed and tied behind sad dles. Thanks to accommodations from friends we reveled in the all- night festivities. It must have been a very ‘hot’ party for as we prepared to ride back the next day, a sudden thaw hit. In the aftermath, roads and the countryside were sliced with ditches. Even though our hill going to town now resembles a toboggan run, no more chaining up to become hopelessly mired. Front wheel drive makes an amazing difference. And just think of all the “ educational” things one can learn with more time to watch television. For instance. I recently learned that the “ grunge” look is in style. As explained, it means putting on anything that doesn’t really go together. Here I’ve been in style for some time and didn't know it. It’s gratifying when one can be a fashion setter. dished out 440 bowls of soup dur ing their shift. At the Greenhouse Youth Shelter, a primary task was wrap ping Christmas presents for homeless children. Greenhouse does not provide overnight ac commodations for youth but in stead offers schooling, counsel ing and sporting activities from 3-9 p.m. daily. McElligott mentioned that it was interesting being on Burnside so close to Christmas because the donations of food, clothing, toys, money and merchandise from large retailers were pouring in. “ We were constantly interrupted by people coming in to make a donation,” she said. The group stayed overnight at the First Congregational Church in downtown Portland, with ar rangements made through the lone United Church of Christ. Bill Rietmann transported students to and from the project. The students participating in this service trip were: Ryan H alvorsen, Justin M iller, Michelle Kandle, Rob Van’t Ent, Bridget M cElligott, Jessie Stefani, Lynde Minster, Crystal Minster, Erika Bergstrom, Mac Lovett, Fatma Juma, Jared Ashbeck, Jake Bacon, Kim Bedortha and Melissa McElligott. For Halvorson, Miller and Melissa McElligott, it was their third service trip. Adult leaders were Cathy Halvorsen, Tom Bedortha, Jeri McElligott and Janet McElligott.
