The snow-covered slopes o f Mt.
Bachelor in Central Oregon drew
several ski-minded Portlanders to
the Inn at the Seventh Mountain this
past weekend.
The young Portlanders had made
up their own spontaneous ski plan
to weekend on the C entury Drive
but found their small part coincided
with a much larger and well planned
party o f a vacationing group o f 30
or 40 skiers from C a lifo rn ia and
Washington state.
In the Portland contingent were
Evelyn and Foley Gordon, Linda
and Frank Metellus, Robin and
Glenn Weatherspoon, Russel John
son, Jeanine Tiebout, George Davis
and Joe James.
The out-of-state skiers were
hosted by the Four Seasons North
west, a Seattle-based ski club
headed by Bevcrely Johnson o f
Tacoma. Noell Holley is their vice-
president o f Outreach. Four
Seasons Northwest is just one o f
several ski clubs in the farwest.
There are none in Oregon, but the
Camellia C ity Ski Club is o f
Sacramento, the Ski Ambassadors
come from Colorado Springs, the
Ujama Ski club is out of Compton,
California and home base for Win
ter Fox Ski Association in Los
Angeles, as well as for Four Seasons
West.
A ll Seasons Ski Club, Inc., draws
members from San francisco-
Oakland Bay area. There may be
others in the Far West but all those
named are a ffilia te d w ith many
others in the Midwest and eastern
states united under the banner o f the
N ational Brotherhood o f Skiers,
Inc., o f Chicago. Gus Pannell is
president of the national.
Each year the NBS presents a
Black Summit gathering and Black
Summit 81 was held earlier their
year at Steamboar Srpings,
Colorado.
Principal goal of eighty-years old
a ffilia tio n is “ to promote winter
sports w ithin the com m unity” ac
cording to Pannell. Further, the
aims are to support and guide youth
as “ Olympic potentials or Olympic
hopefuls.” Fund raising events are
given for race skill development in a
“ friendly, relaxed environment.”
Nearly 2,000 folks attended Black
Summit 81.
Many o f the clubs offer a number
o f activities for their members. A ll
Seasons Ski Club sponsors skiing,
an annual tennis tournament, golf,
m iniature car racing, canoeing,
hang gliding, water ra ftin g , back
packing, water skiing, theatre
groups, dances, roller skating, bike
trip s, to name a few o f their in
terests.
Membership in most o f the clubs
seem to be fairly open if one has the
price and a sincere wish to par
ticipate in friendly sports.
Four Seasons Northwest closed
their winter holiday at Mt. Bachelor
with a disco dance and invited the
Portlanders to their festivities at the
Sun River Lodge. Next day the
Portland group rode horseback in
the snow-packed bridle paths along
the Deschutes River.
Lets see now. What would be a
good name for a Portland ski club?

Hawaii Rai beckoned to Carmen

A handy spring vacation supplied
the time frame.

end o f visiting with Bill Deiz.
Congratulations are in order for
the admirable professionalism o f
Commissioner Charles Jordan
during these tryin g days. We are
proud o f you, Commissioner.
Congratulations also to our own
Herb Cawthorne for a courageous,
uphill fight to retain his place on the
Portland School Board. Each o f us
casting our one im portant vote in
his favor helped to secure intelligent
leadership again for the beleagured
board.

Take a weekend or so ago in
Seattle as an example. My favorite
lady and I journeyed north to the
Queen city to see and hear Esther
P hillips who was appearing at a
place called Michael J’ s.
It has been just about 30 years
since I had heard her sing. That was
here in Portland at an old club at the
West end o f the Steel Bridge called
the De Lisa. I was a kid washing
dishes on a Union Pacific dining car
during the summer and one o f the
crew's waiters, Jasper Grant, a real
man about town asked me to go
with him.
I could hardly wait. I don’t know
what excited me the most, looking
forward to hearing "L ittle Esther”
or being with Jasper who knew lots
o f women.
Either way I knew I was in for a
good time. Maybe some of Jasper’ s
magic would rub o ff on me, and if I
was kool I just might get lucky and
have one o f those “ older” women
Jasper knew give me a break.
I don’t really remember how that
part turned out, but I do remember
falling in love with Esther’ s talent
and the Johnny Otis Band.
So, we make a bee line for Seattle
and stop by M ichael J ’ s to buy
tickets for the late show, set to begin
at 11:30 that night.
The fact the tickets cost $10.00
each d id n ’ t bother me too much
after all I was going to see and hear
Esther Now here is where the heavy
price we had to pay just to hear our
kind o f music comes in.

Lester supplied a nice moderate
bottom to the whole set, perhaps
not playing as lo udly as he
sometimes does around town.
I wasn’ t familiar with Spencer but
he is a mature electric piano player
who plays with much creativity and
excitement.
It was an excellent performance
and the mostly young Black crowd
loved it. I just wish they had seating
for senior citizens with bifocals.

At 11:15 we were there, but so
were about a hundred other fans
jammed in a small space between
the front door and the main rotm o f
a very long and very narrow night
club. We stood for what must have
been a good half hour, just waiting
fo r the management to clear the
club of first show patrons.
Then the rush for seats. We ended
up three quarters o f the way back
and sat and sat and sat some more.
F inally about 12:30 the show
started. I heard Esther before I ac
tually could see her and it was quite
a thrill.
Now, I wear bifocals and I only
mention that because she was so far
away that I had to tilt my head back
to see her at all. But when I did that
the bottom part o f my biofocals
came into use and they are designed
for close up seeing, thus a blur. I f I
looked through the top part,
another blur.
But there’ s nothing wrong with
my ears and Esther was dynamite
espcially on ” What A Difference A
Day M akes" and an old Dinah
Washington tune which is still heavy
to this day. "L o n y John the Den
tist. ”
Three o f the four musicians ac
companying her were Portland
players: Lester M cFarland, bass;
Carlton Jackson, drums and Todd
Carver, guitar. She brought her own
keyboard player, George Spencer.
One would never have known just
listening that this was only the
second night the group had ever
played together.
Jackson, one o f Portland’ s fine
young drummers kept the group
kicking by doing everything just
right, while guitarist Carver had the

Maybe I ’ m just getting old and
grumpy but I ’ ve felt lately that jazz
buffs pay a heavy price to listen to
their favorite kind of music.
WEST COAST PICTURE CORP.
The G overnor’s Commission on
Black ' A ffa irs
needs
your
cooperation. Letters w ith petitions
enclosed now in the hands o f many
concerned citizens o f Oregon, were
issued over the signature o f Pearl
Spears-Gray, C hairperson o f the
Commission on Black Affairs.
In her letter Spears-Gray states:
“ As you know, G overnor V ic to r
Atiyeh has, by Executive Order
EO-80-18, established a Governor’ s
Commission on Black A ffa irs.”
“ The Com m ission has the
responsibility o f monitoring existing
programs and laws in the areas o f
education, employment, economic
development, health and law as they
impact upon the Black population
o f Oregon.
"T he Commission is also respon
sible fo r the identificatio n and re
searching o f problem areas and
issues o f Blacks, and to recommend
actions to the Governor, including
legislation.
“ The Commission is to maintain
laison between the Black com
m unity and governm ent entities,
w ith special emphasis on en
couraging Black representation on
state boards and commissions.”
Gray singles out b ills presently
before the House and Senate in
Salem affecting the operation o f the
new Commission.
“ House B ill 2041,“ continues
Gray, “ is being considered by the
Ways and Means Committee. This
b ill establishes a C om m ission on
Black A ffa irs to im plem ent the
above responsibilities.
“ Senate Bill 5559, which sets up
the Budget fo r the Commission, is
also being considered by Ways and
Means. The proposed budget is very
modest, but w ithout it, the Com
mission would be severely limited in
carrying out the mandates o f its
charter.”
