Lewis & Clark College in Port­
land will be the new Portland Trail
Blazers training site, according to a
joint announcement by Geoff Petrie,
senior vice-president, operations, for
the Portland Trail Blazers, and Mi­
chael Mooney, president o f Lewis &
Clark College.
“ This new partnership is a win-
win situation for both Lewis & Clark
College and the Blazers,” said Mooney.
“ They’re bringing us their enthusi­
asm, and w e’ll help them put an edge
on their gam e.”
Petrie echoed Mooney’s positive
comments, noting: “ We couldn’t ask
for a better situation or a more conven­
ient location. The flexibility afforded
us by using Pamplin Sports Center
gives us another small edge in our
ability to prepare our players for games.
W e’re looking forward to starting our
practice sessions in September. It’s
also a chance to benefit the students of
a top-flight college.”
According to the three-year agree­
ment, Lewis & Clark College’s Pam­
plin Sports Center will be available to
the Blazers for designated workouts
and practices as well as for the Trail
Blazers’ fall camp. The Pamplin sports
Center also will be available for a one-
week Trail Blazer Rookie Camp and

As the greyhound racing season
starts to wind down, the activity picks
up at Multnomah Greyhound Track.
With just 6 and one half weeks
remaining in the 1991 racing season,
there are still five o f the top ten stakes
races remaining, led by the 59th MKC
Derby on August 17.
Also still to come are 55th Sapling
Derby, the 2nd Kings and Queens, the
7th annual Super Sprint and the 59th
Au Revoir.
Several innovations have been
initiated at Multnomah Greyhound Track
this year. For the first time in the 59-
year history of MGT, there has been
Sunday racing. After just three weeks,
MKC President George Dewey has la­
beled the 2pm Sunday performance
" a n unqualified success.”
And for at least the next two Sun­
days, a free trip to Reno will be given
away to a lucky patron whose name is
drawn. Details will be available at the
track.
Also gaining high acceptance this
year is the new Friday night wine­
tasting in the Fourth Floor Club Skyvicw.
Reservation are recommended.
The nine hole Hound Hollow Golf
Course on the east end of the Multnomah
Greyhound Track property was origi­
nally supposed to be open for play in
the spring of 1991, but due to weather
problems and other delays, the course
itself will not open until spring of 1991.
However, the 25 station covered
and lighted driving range is now open,
and many greyhound racing fans are
bringing theirclubs and hitting a bucket
prior to the races. A practice trap and
18-holc al I grass putting course arc also
due to open next spring
for Coach Rick Adelman’s Hoop
Heaven Basketball Camps during the
summers.
In return, the Blazers will provide
a state-of-the-art portable basketball
floor and two portable side baskets for
use by the Blazers and Lewis & Clark
during the three-year agreement. In
addition, the Blazers will co-sponsor
with the College a pre-season intersquad
gam e-the first exposure of the 1991-
92 team to the general public. Plans
also call for a fund-raismg activity to
be tied to this event. Proceeds will
benefit a scholarship fund for students
in Lewis & C lark’s College of Arts and
Sciences.
This fall’s pre-season game is
planned for October in Pamplin Sports
Center.
Blazer officials complimented
Lewis & Clark for its superb facilities
and emphasized that the College is
conveniently located within minutes
of the homes of a number of Blazers
and within a short distance of o'her
services.
According to Blazer Coach Rick
Adelman, “ The Lewis & Clark part­
nership centralizes our practices for
the year-from Rookie Camp through
the last practice In past years, we needed
to change our times and sites. This fa-
cility is withir minutec of the Coli­
seum, our ffices and our team doctor.
W e’re happy and think it will be a
definite help for us.”
“ The involvement of the Trad
Blazers w.lh the Lewis & Clark ath­
letic program, along with trie pride it
will develop, will strengthen and iden­
tify our program as an integral part of
our community,” commented Jerry
Gatto, director of Lewis & Clark’s
Athletics Department.
Shopping Carts Can be
Dangerous to Children
Falls from shopping carts are among
the leading causes of head injuries to
young children treated in hospital
emergency rooms. The U.S. Consumer
Products Safety Commission estimates
that there are 12,000 children, under
the age of five, treated every year for
head injuries resulting from falls from
carts. About 33 percent of these head
injuries are concussions, fractures or
internal injuries.
Shopping carts are now being used
in hardware stores, drugstores and toy
stores, as well as grocery stores. As
usage increases, so too does the num­
ber of injuries.
