The Maryan L. McElli- gott Memorial Scholarship fund has awarded scholar- ships to Ione High School alumni each year since 1997. The scholarship is open to all college under- graduates, with a preference given to students in their sophomore year or above. The fund was established in memory of Mrs. McEl- ligott, who passed away in 1993 after a battle with can- cer. McElligott was an ener- getic community volunteer FREE who was recognized in 1992 as the Morrow County Woman of the Year. She placed a high value on com- munity involvement, in- cluding volunteering in the schools and the American Legion Auxiliary, as well as serving as a 20-year 4-H leader. An avid baker, she was well- known for Timothy her cakes Patton and once taught cake- decorating classes through Blue Mountain Community College. Education was a very important part of her life; she and her husband L. J. McElligott raised eight children, all of whom grad- uated from Ione High School as well as col- lege; five received graduate degrees. Jorge Aguilar “We are pleased to invest in the futures of Ione Charter School’s gradu- ates,” said Vince McElli- gott, the scholarship com- mittee chair. “Scholarships are awarded to students who share and demonstrate my mother’s values, but may lack financial resourc- es needed to pursue their college education.” The scholarship com- mittee is composed of Ione residents Monica S w a n - son, Linda Larue and Anne Mort- er, as well Rachel as Matthew Holland McElligott of North Powder, OR and Mr. Vince McElligott of Houston, TX. The follow- ing criteria are used to select scholarship recipients: high academic achieve- ment; dem- onstrated character; commu- nity, family Jason Juarez and school involve- ment; and financial need. The L.J. McElligott family initially set up the endow- ment fund in 1994, and it is administered by the Oregon Community Foundation in Portland. Applicants, including McElligott scholarship re- cipients, may reapply each year as long as they meet the eligibility requirements.

A key strategy—from sport physicals to adolescent well care Editor’s note: this is the first in a series of messages brought to you by your Morrow County health care providers. The Morrow County Health District (MCHD) and Columbia River Com- munity Health Services (CRCHS) have reconfig- ured services delivered to youth. The health care pro- viders in partnership with the school districts have moved from completing a traditional “sport physical” to a more comprehensive exam called an adolescent well care (AWC) exam. The exam will continue to be provided through the local primary care medical clinics and there will be no additional cost to you. The exam will include, if necessary, an evaluation for clearance to partici- pate in sports/activities and completion of the required OSAA form. MCHD and CRCHS will not be providing the previously offered sport physical calendar days. The health services and the Morrow County and Ione school districts strongly encourage you to schedule appointments that work with your schedule as soon as possible to be prepared before the fall sport season is underway. To schedule an appointment at a clinic near you, call: Pioneer Memorial Clinic, Heppner, 541-676- 5504; Ione Community Clinic, 541-422-7128; Ir- rigon Medical Clinic, 541- 922-5880; or Columbia River Community Health Services, Boardman, 541- 481-7212.
