An open letter to the Blazers
I ’m writing in response io Mr.
Jermgan's comment aboul the lack o f
Hla/et visibility and non-involvement
in our Black community. I realize that
being on a different economic scale
sometimes changes one’ s lifestyle,
but, we all should remember "fro m
where we came.”
Nine o f Ihe 12 Blazers are Black.
How many times do they come to the
Northeast side o f town, other ihan to
cam their pay? I work with young
people every day at Beaumont Middle
Schtxil, where I teach; Grant High
School, where I coach, and Con­
cordia College in the summer where I
work for the National Youth Sports
Program, which is free to our kids.
These kids need as much positive re­
inforcement as they can gel. Someone
helped you Blazers io gel your posi­
tion I know lhai professional aih-

leies have so many demands on their
lime, hui remember our kids: First
our schools, our parks. Sign some re­
port cards, not just autographs. You
are key role models!
Maurice I ucas did involve himself
wiih our community. He ran clinics,
played lennis and communicated with
the people o f the community. Michael
Harper donated his lime al the NYSP
Camp al Concordia. Fie could have
received pay elsewhere. Herrn G illiam
added his contributions. Fie was very
visible Are ihesc a differeni breed
o f men? Come on fellows, help our
community! O ur kids look up to
you. If you don’t know who io con-
laci, call Roy Jernigan at the Observ­
er; John Phillips at the Skanncr; Tony
Hopson at Jefferson High School or
me al Beaumont Middle School.
This is a cry for help. Do something
for ihe kids who can't a ffo rd $200 to
go io camp Please put back some o f
the things lhai you hase taken out o f
some other commumiy.
Blazers, spend some lime telling
our young people the importance o f
education, the importance o l working
hard and being dedicated. Tell them if
they work hard lhai ihey can he suc­
cessful in life, not just athletics. Our
kids need lo have a strong self-image.
They need hope. They need your
help. Brother Blazers. Believe me,
there are a lot o f us who do n all the
time absolutely free. But I can live
with my conscience — can you?

I f you wanted to catch the best
Black linksters in Portland Saturday
morning, Glendovecr G.C. would
have been the place to view them.
The Leisure H our G o lf Club held
iheir qualifying tournament for The
Western States Golfing Association
Championships to be held in Carmel,
California, in June. The lournameni
in Carmel will feature many o f the
best Black golfers in the west doing
bailie for the WSGA championship
titles.
The qualifying round Saturday
provided five winners lhai w ill re­
ceive $205 each io defray their ex­
penses to the Carmel site. Many o f the
club members played in the qualifying
round without attempting to win the
pot o f g o lf for Carmel because they
didn't think that their slicks would
hold up under pressure. Thai was a
message fo r Bill Russell and Jerry
Fuller
The weather was beauhtul and the
competition s tiff, and unless you shot
a ton, it was a great day for golf.

the prize money w ill be heading io
