Back: Cecilia' McElligott, Hay lie Peterson, John McElligott and Kayla Kosrigue/.. Front: Jackson and Keaton Coiner. -Contributedphoto The youth of St. Wil liam's Catholic Church in lone are busy raising funds for children’s homes in In dia. Last year parishioners opened their pocketbooks and donated almost $1,000 so Fr. Kumar Udagandla, their parish priest, could provide Christmas gifts to his children’s home. Some of the money was also used to restore their broken water system. This year, under the direction o f their current priest Fr. Papa Rao Pasala, the youth have taken on the task o f also raising money for Christmas gifts for a home for the mentally impaired sponsored by Fr. Kumar and Fr. Papa’s dio cese in India. As an ongoing way to raise funds, there is ajar for collecting loose change in the vestibule of the church. The first fundraiser was a bake sale by students in K-6 last Sunday. The junior high and high school students will host a bake sale Sun day, Nov. 16, after mass. The second collections at St. Patrick's and St. Wil liam’s this Sunday, Nov. 2, will also go toward the purchase of Christmas gifts. The youth appreciate the generosity of parishioners in Heppner and lone and are embracing spreading Christmas blessings to the children far away in India. For more information, con tact Jeri McElligott, direc tor of religious education at St. William’s. To the editor: On Monday, Oct. 19, at approximately 7:50 a.m., a call went out to Boardman Fire Department and Morrow County Ambulance to respond to a motor vehicle accident on the freeway. The Boardman Fire Station is located directly across the street from both the elementary school and secondary school. Do you realize how congested that particular part of the road is during that time of the morning? Busses carrying children, parents who are dropping off their children at sometimes both schools, groups of elementary age children are walking to school.... Now factor in that emergency personnel are trying to get to the fire station (it is not manned 24 hours a day) and ambulance hall to respond to this incident. Upon leaving the station, multiple emergency vehicles must keep a diligent eye out for all the parents dropping off their children, the busses and the children walking to school. My hope is that these types of morning events are eye-opening to anyone who does not feel that Boardman needs a new fire station located away from this horribly congested area and to have the ability to be a manned facility 24 hours a day. 1 urge you to please vote yes for the new Boardman Fire Station. For every $100,000 of assessed property value, the cost would be $47 a year. It is a small price to pay to invest for a safer community. Help us help you.
