Today in History
With protests for democratic reforms entering their
seventh week, the Chinese government authorizes its
soldiers and tanks to reclaim Beijing’s Tiananmen Square
at all costs. By nightfall on June 4, Chinese troops had
forcibly cleared the square, killing hundreds and arresting
thousands of demonstrators and suspected dissidents.
The restlessness is symbolized by the photograph of a lone
protestor standing in front of a line of military tanks.
— June 3, 1989

it happened.”
He cleared 5-foot-8 at
MOC along with two other
jumpers, but he completed
the jump in fewer attempts.
That mark isn't even his best.
At a track meet with Houck
Middle School in April, the
6-foot-4, 14-year-old cleared
6 feet.
Nick started competing in
the high jump as a seventh
grader at the encouragement
of James Decker, a Whiteaker
teacher and coach. Decker
had seen Nick dunking the
ball on the basketball court
and knew he was onto
something special because of
his natural jumping ability.
“I just sort of watched
the older guys at fi rst and it
looked really cool,” Nick said.
In short order, he was
making the leaps himself and
besting his schoolmates in the
event.
“From the fi rst few
practice jumps, Nick began
progressing quickly. By the
end of his seventh grade
year, he was one of the
top jumpers for his age in
the nation. This year, as he
got taller and stronger, his
coaches and I could tell this
could be season that he did
something special,” Decker
said.

“The girl in that case did
a very good job. She saw
something strange and told
someone about it. Something
as simple as that can be very
benefi cial,” Howden said. “The
biggest thing is for parents to
have a good awareness of who
their kids are around, have
good, open communication
around the issues around sexual
abuse, and to try to do it in a
way that isn't alarmist. We don't
want people living in fear.”

Douc Lusk, Cynthia Witham, Terry Witham and Bo Nyleen, all
members of local Rotary clubs recently took their Keizertimes
to Hinche, Haiti, where the croups funded the drillinc of a well.
The “Wells in Haiti” project was created throuch the hard work
of Cynthia Witham, Salem Rotary Club, who raised funds from
local Rotary clubs in the Salem area plus a crant from Rotary
International. To date Rotary has drilled six wells in the area and
more are planned in the near future. The wells are vital to local
citizens because Haiti not only suffered extreme damace from
the 2010 earthquake, but was also devastated by a cholera
epidemic in 2011 that resulted in 6,000 deaths.

Nick grew a full inch
between January and March
this year. He credited Decker
with helping him excel in
the event.
“He taught me how to
visualize my jumps,” Nick
said. “Between that and
watching a lot of YouTube
video (demonstrations) I was
able to step it up.”
Decker
said
Nick's
character shows in aspects
beyond the fi elds and courts.
“He works with our
some of the special needs
students at our school and
is patient and giving when
working with them. At the
meets, he always rooted on
other athletes and was always
willing to talk to the other
contestants about techniques,
warm-ups
or
anything
that might be asked. His
positivity rubbed off on his
competitors and teammates
alike and made those around
him better,” Decker said.
While the accolades are
pouring in from track and
fi eld, Nick said the training
has helped him perform
better in basketball, his fi rst
love.
“We do a lot of running as
part of track and fi eld and it's
really helped. I feel like I'm
in a lot better shape now,” he
said.
