NEAL RETIRES -Continued from PAGE ONE nity,” Neal recalls. “I saw the freeways, the rail lines and the river,” as well as the electrical transmission grid nearby. With those assets Neal says he saw a positive future for the area. “I still see that today,” he adds. Some of the challenges Neal sees facing the county in the future is a continued housing crunch. He even re- lates a story of when he and his wife Kathy moved here they had trouble finding a rental house back then. “I have thought a lot about the housing problem, and I am not sure how that will be resolved,” he says. He also sees a positive job training program in place around the county, and, through efforts of the port, where local young people can be taught the skills necessary to take many of those thousands of -MCSO received a re- jobs being created here.

McElligott, raised eight children, all of whom graduated from Ione High School as well as college; five have received graduate degrees. “I am pleased to see this scholarship is focused on second year and high- er college students and I would encourage students to apply every single year of one’s college experience,” said Monica Swanson, a scholarship committee member. The scholarship com- mittee is composed of Ione residents Monica Swanson, Linda LaRue and Anne Morter, as well as Matthew McElligott of North Pow- der, OR and Vince McElli- gott, of Houston, TX, two of Maryan’s sons. Scholarships are award- ed to students who share and demonstrate Maryan’s val- ues, but may lack financial resources needed to pursue their college education. The following criteria are used to select scholarship recipients: high academic achievement; demonstrated character; community, fam- ily and school involvement and financial need. The L.J. McElligott family initially set up the endowment fund in 1994, and it is adminis- tered by the Oregon Com- munity Foundation. Applications are avail- able at http://www.oregon- studentaid.gov/. All Ione Community Charter School graduates are encouraged to apply. Hall of Fame banquet to be held Be sure to bring lawn chairs!

Now that he is retired Neal says he and his wife Kathy will be moving to Clarkston to be closer to his mother. They have a winter home in Arizona and plan on doing some traveling and playing with their four grandchildren. He also recently purchased a boat and plans on doing a little fishing. “This has been a great experience, and a good place to live and have a career,” Neal says of Morrow County. chased in advance at the Round-Up ticket office for $40 or at the door for $45.
