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

Education was very import-
ant to her. Maryan and her
husband, L.J. 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.

to take on risks and em-

of Morrow County can be
proud of what they have
here.” He says Morrow
County can continue to
be a leader in economic
development and with the
county now having the third
highest per capita income
in Oregon, “I don’t see it
slowing down,” he adds.
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.
