Taylor K. McElligott o f lone was a member of the ensemble cast o f St. Law rence U niversity's recent dramatic production o f The Laramie Project. McElligott is a member o f the Class o f 2009 at St. Lawrence in Canton, NY and a graduate o f lone High School. In October o f 1998, a 21 year old student at the University o f Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten, and left to die, tied to a fence on the outskirts of Laramie, WY. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the vic tim o f this assault because he was gay. M o isés K aufm an and fellow members of the New York-based Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course o f a year and a half in the aftermath o f the beat ing and during the trial of the two young men accused o f killing Shepard. They conducted more than 200 interv iews with the people o f the town, some o f w hom were directly connected to the case and others who were citizens o f Laramie. The Laramie Project chronicles the life o f the town o f Laramie in the year after the murder and is one o f the most performed plays in America today. McElligott is a bio chemistry major at St. Law rence. Catholic youth return to Burnside to serve the poor St. William’s Catho lic Church high school youth spent the Veteran’s Day hol iday serving the poor who live in the Burnside area o f Portland. Seven youth and three adults made the trip, loaded down with clothing, coats and blankets to donate to area residents. The day began with serving lunch at Blanchet House, where the youth w ere trained by staff' members to fill trays in the kitchen, bus tables or serve food. The meal consisted o f chicken w ith noodles or a bean and meat sauce with rice, fruit salad, green s^lad, steamed vegetables, a pastry and orange juice or coffee. Kip Krebs and Alan Rietmann, who helped serve the meal, were surprised to learn they had helped feed 205 people in an hour's time. They were impressed w ith how efficient the meal was managed and how nice everyone was. The group spent the afternoon at O utreach o f Burnside w here Beth Morter made and served grilled cheese sandwiches to the Outreach members. Some o f the group sorted donat ed clothing. Others helped move one o f the Outreach members out of his single room occupancy hotel so it can be renovated. They packed laundry, food and garbage from the hotel to the Outreach office. Kris Moor, Outreach director, explained the lifestyle o f the individual who was being helped. He has a monthly income o f around $600. Over half o f that pays the rent for his sm all room . B ecause he spends so much time in his sm all room , p articu larly during bad weather, he has cable, which costs $60 per month. All the major grocery stores have moved from the area so it is very difficult to buy groceries, especially at reasonable prices. He has major medical problem s, Outreach staff member Jesse Nava directs Kip Krebs and Dalton Campbell in cleaning a member's room. Tyree Svetich and Beth Morter greet an Outreach member. which require constant trips to the doctor and medica tions. Fortunately, the Out reach o f B urnside office helps him and others like him manage their money and makes sure their needs are met. It was the second trip of the year for many of St. W illiam ’s high school group. “They are definitely getting more com fortable with the people,” noted trip organizer Jeri M cElligott. “ T h ere are m any v e te r ans living on the streets in Portland and it was a good way for us to help honor them .” Youth making the trip to Portland w ere Dalton Campbell, Kip Krebs, Alan R ietm an n , C lay M orter, Tyree Svetich, Beth Morter and Alex Rietmann. Adult leaders were Anne Morter, Deb C am p b ell, and Jeri McElligott. As a follow-up to the trip, the lone youth chose to sponsor one o f the Outreach m em bers for C h ristm as.
