Summer Madness Welcome Bikers by Ken Covington THE CAPLAN STUDENT-ATHLETE The MS BIKE 150 welcomes all levels of ability. It is a tour rather than a race. Entrants will ride a total of 150 miles; 75 miles each day, through Ore gon's beautiful Willamette Valley to help raise funds to support the National Multiple Sclerois Society and its Oregon chapter. Cyclist groups will start from Beaverton and Eugene and meet in Monmouth. For information call: Portland area (503) 223-9511; Clark County, 1-800-422-3042; Eugene Area (503) 343-9892. The first day of summer was last Sunday, and I'll bet that already the neighborhood children are driving some of us batty with the three B s : beatboxes, bicycles (in your driveway) and baseball (not the game, the ball itself). Please, before you go off and lose your temper, remember when you were young and full of that youthful energy. If the children are getting on your nerves, don't grumble and snort; go out and join them. Help organize their games, so that not only will it take your property our of danger, but them, too. Don't ever forget that a child is a child, and nine times out of ten, they will listen. Maybe you can even teach them something new. If you are a parent and agonize at the thought of having a housefull, all day long, in and out, out and in; don't feel like the lone ranger. In fact, take alook outside now. See the children that yours are playing with? Well, they have moms that may feel the same way. So what, you say? Find out where these children live and their phone numbers; call their moms and organize to take turns transporting the little darlings to various points of interest two or three times a week and ease your tension. The City of Portland has swimming facilities, along with libraries, the Washington Park Zoo and OMSI, the Police Museum, the Art Museum, the Sports Museum, and even the Children's Museum. There are also camps and camp scholarships through the YMCA, and The Salvation Army offers day camp activities, and all of these are just a phone call away. Maybe the reason that children are so different today is because adults are either too busy or too scared to spend time with the children; and as a result, look to each other rather than looking up to us for direction. So let's make the summer of '87 one of availability, growth and positive Register Now for Teen Bike Trips! A week-long bicycle trip will be a summer adventure never to be for gotten! Join an experienced leader and counselors to explore and camp at different parks. All trips include outdoor camping, cooking, swimming, and, of course, lots of cycling.
