addition, the teens will be available
to make presentations, act as con­
sultants and serve on teen panels.

in TEENS & COM PA N Y through
an audition process in the spring of

months in intensive drama and sexu­
ality education training. Through dis­
cussion and improvisational exer­
cises, the teens decide which mes­
sages they feel are most important to
convey to their peers. They then de­
velop theatrical skits to com m uni­
cate these m essages through a dra­
matic perform ance. Septem ber is
filled with hours of rehearsal time
with professional theatre coaches.
The show usually addresses the fol­
lowing issues:

Depression and Suicide
Birth Control Options
Teen Pregnancy

Members of TEENS & COMPANY with Jerome Kersey
Teens & Company,
PPC W ’s aw ard-w inning teen
theatre program, is celebrating its
ninth season this fall. The program
has been seen by over 100,000 teens
throughout Oregon and W ashington
for nearly a decade. This year’s group
will be bigger and better than ever!
In an effort to reach more teens
by performing more shows, while at
the same time cutting down on cast
members’ absences from school, the
number o f teens in the program has
been doubled. This year’s 26 cast
members will be divided into two
casts of 13 each. Each cast will per­
form the same show, but at different
locations, thus allowing us to in­
crease the number of productions
available to the community.
An exciting new component has
been added to this successful peer
education model: the teens will now
be available to provide interactive
group presentations to classrooms
andcom m unity groups. Thiscom po-
nent will allow teachers and others
who request talks on Birth Control,
Sexual Decision making, STDs and
AIDS, to select either an adult speaker
NIKE TOWN & FOX 49 KPDX TO HONOR
AMATEUR ATHLETES OF THE MONTH
Sometimes just making the team
is a bigger victory than tossing the
winning touchdown or popping a
three-pointer at the buzzer. N ike
Town and Fox 49 KPDX have estab­
lished the Amateur Athlete of the
Month award to recognize the ac­
complishments of amateur athletes
who make the most of their abilities,
even though they may not be the
“star” players.
“The headlines are full of the
accomplishments of the region’s top
athletes,” explained Scott Reames,
N ike Town E vents C oordinator.
“They certainly deserve the recogni­
tion, but what about the kid who
to nominate or be nominated. Offi­
cial rules are outlined on the entry
form.
Each month, one male and fe­
male athlete will be chosen from
among the nom ination forms re­
ceived. In keeping with OSAA and
W IAA athlete guidelines, no cash or
merchandise will be awarded, but
athletes will be featured on a display
wall at Nike Town and included in
television spots that will air on Fox
49.
Nomination forms will be avail­
able throughout the year at the events
table at Nike Town. For more infor­
mation, call (503) 221-6453.

the parent who has raised three kids
and then decides to enter a first m ara­

which is why we created the Amateur

YOUNG GOLFEHS
PLAY AND EARN
For the middle school students
in volved in P o rtlan d P arks &
Recreation’s KADDIES program,
golf is much more than just fun and
games for the older set. Through
the program, young people are as­
signed to caddie for a specific golfer
all through the season. In exchange,
the young caddie earns spending
money (between $ 10 and $20/week)
and is encouraged to learn the game
of golf. The program provides all
caddies with golf lessons and basic
golf equipm ent. But it is the rela­
tionships that are built between the
young caddies and their assigned
golfers that makes this program
unique.
Standing for “ Kids and Adults
Developing Diversified Interests in
Em ploym ent”, the KADDIES pro­
gram is first and foremost a mentor­
ing program. Using the game of
golf, KADDIES helps build self
esteem, teaches responsibility, and
introduces career options for the
young people involved. Much like
the successful Eagle Program for
High School students, it is hoped
that the KADDIES program will
encourage young people from di­
verse ethnic groups todiscover their
own potential through the game of
golf.
The Portland School District
is com m itted to recruiting young
people for the program. New this
summer, the program involved 18
students. 30% of those students
were minorities. It is anticipated

DE LA HOYA DEFENDS
TIRE AGAINST AVILA
“The Golden Boy” O scar De La
Hoya makes the first defense of his
W orld Boxing Organization light­
weight championship against current
International Boxing Organization
lightweight champion John Avila on
Saturday, October 8 at the Grand
Olympic Auditorium.
The 12-round bout tops a five-
fight card presented by Top Rank
that can be seen live on CBS at 5 p.m.
ET/2 p.m. PT
De La Hoya (14-0, 13 KOs) is
the brightest young star in boxing
today. Possessing incredible speed,
size and strength for a lightweight, he
has dem olished everyone in his path.
Celebrating his move to the light­
weight division in style, De La Hoya
took only seconds in round two to
annihilate former world champion
Jorge Paez and capture his second
world title.
The 21-year-old from East Los
Angeles was the only Gold Medalist
on the 1992 Olympic boxing team.
He has made his professional debut
on Nov. 23, 1992 at the Great W est­
ern Forum with a quick first-round
knock out over Lam ar W illiams.
Since his pro debut, he has destroyed
all 13 opponents with only Mike
Grable remaining on his feet. De La
Hoya, who has his sights set on six
world titles, hopes to have a show­
down with fellow Californian and
current 1BF lightweight champion
Rafael Reulas sometime next year
that the numbers of participants will
grow as school counselors learn
about the program and as KADDIES
proves itself. The mentors are re­
cruited through the Police Athletic
League and the Portland Parks &
Recreation G olf Program. The O r­
egon G olf A ssociation and the
L.P.G.A. are involved in caddie
training and assist with administra­
tion o f the program.
Golfer/M entors must play at
least once/week. Once assigned a
caddie, the golfer arranges golf dates
and times directly with his or her
caddie. The caddie is responsible
for getting to the course on time and
to do their job. At the end o f the
round, the golfer gives the caddie a
voucher which can be redeemed
from the concessionaire at the
course. It all seem s to w ork very
w ell. The young people and th eir
