member of
The Laramie

Bill Broderick, long-
tim e O regon S tate U ni-
versity Extension 4-11 and
livestock agent is retiring on
November 30. The Morrow
County Livestock Growers
and 4-H Leaders Council
will host a “get together” in
honor o f Bill and his work
y
within our community.
Please join us for
light appetizers, punch and

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,

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.
They will buy gifts from a
w ish list and deliver them in
time for the annual Christ­
mas party at the Outreach
office.

Boardman City
C o u n cilo rs, at th eir N o­
vem ber 6 m eeting, voted
to defer consideration o f
hiring a new city manager
for up to nine months. The
City has been working with
the League of Oregon Cities
in the recruitment process
which began when former
City Manager Rex Mather
retired in August. The league
helped councilors establish
criteria for the position, and
after advertising, they were
able to provide the council
five screened applicants for
possible interviews. Coun­
cilors voted not to interv iew
at this time, and to consider
ap p lican ts again in nine
months.
In August the City
hired local businesswoman
Karen Pettigrew to fill in as
City Manager Pro Tern for
six months. Ms. Pettigrew
has agreed to remain for an
additional nine months.
In other City news,
the Boardman Police De­
partment will be taking ap­
plications for a certified po­
lice officer. The Interchange
A rea Ma n a g e me n t Plan
C om m ittee has had their
first m eeting, and reports
they may have a draft plan
to present to the council, as
early as December.
