Riegel tapped as Elks Citizen of the Year THE MID-COUNTY MEMO
Riegel was feted during an evening ceremony at the lodge, along with dozens of Gateway Elks volunteer committee members. The Citizen of the Year Award is a national Grand Lodge Program that encourages each lodge to select a citizen, not necessarily an Elk, who has contributed in a special way to improving the community. It recognizes someone who has shown leadership in the community, has contributed voluntary service and is recognized as being an all-around good citizen. Riegel was managing editor of the Mid-county Memo neighborhood newspaper from 1990 to 1999, when he became the Memos executive editor to consult regularly on content while co-editing the Daily Journal of Commerce. Riegel returned to the Memo in 2004 to become a member of its sales team and take up writing feature stories for the Memo again. Hes worked on daily, weekly and monthly newspapers throughout the Portland and Vancouver area, as a reporter, editor and photographer. Riegel, along with Memo Publisher Tim Curran, was recognized two years ago by the Parkrose School District for the newspapers support of the districts mission. |
