O re g o n ia n Story p rom p ts d o n a tio n Time to start thinking green

When 12-year-old lone resi
dent, Elizabeth Allen, was
featured in the Sunday Orego
nian a few weeks back show
ing her efforts to provide warm
clothing for the homeless peo
ple in Portland, many people
read with interest. Leo Young,
an lone resident in the 1920s
and retired attorney, CPA and
lieutenant colonel in the US Ar
my, read with particular in
terest. The picture of Elizabeth
and her helpers, Nikki
McElligott, Allison Halvorsen
and Adrienne Sw anson,
unloading diapers caught his
eye, prompting him to send a
check for $100 to one of the girls
whose last name rang a bell

from his youth, Nikki
McElligott. He asked only that
the money benefit the homeless
in a way to be determined by
the girls.
Young, who now lives in
Florence, Oregon, wrote in his
letter that he used to live near
the McElligott Ranch and went
to Davis School with Don and
Dick McElligott. He lived in
lone from 1923 through part of
1926 in the house where Leo
and Irene Crabtree now live.
He also mentioned that he
started grade school in 1923
with Eva Swanson, who would
be a great-aunt to Adrienne.
What he didn't realize was that
Nikki's family, the Joe and Jeri
McElligotts, currently farm his
family's place.
The girls decided to put the
money towards socks for the
hom eless. Before school
started, they went shopping
together and bought 86 pairs
which were donated to Opera
tion Nightwatch. Operation
Night watch is a night ministry
in the Burnside area. One
aspect of the ministry is foot-
care, washing and massaging
feet, trimming nails and pro
viding socks.
Have you resolved to "eat
healthier" and tried to reduce
the fat, cholesterol, salt and
calories in the foods you eat?
Because fat makes food taste
good, you may be having a
hard time loosing your "fat
tooth". Here's a way to retrain
your taste buds.
"O ld recipes, New Season
ings," will be the topic at the
study group leader training at
the Umatilla County Extension
Office in Pendleton Sept. 28 at
10 a.m. Participants will learn
new ways to alter favorite
recipes for a healthful diet, taste
and evaluate low fat products,
and use herbs and flavored
vinegars to replace flavor
agents in traditional recipes.
There is no charge to attend
the training. Participants will
receive materials that enable
them to reteach the lessons to
another audience.
The Umatilla County Exten
sion Office is located at 721 S.E.
3rd Street, Pendleton. For more
information, contact Morrow
County Extension Agent, Carol
M ic h a e l-B e n n e tt,

Design" was demonstrated at
