Field goal lifts Bills
past Colts
Monday Night Football games
this season have been long but
exciting
Monday night the
Buffalo Bills and Indianapolis
Colts gave us short and simple. In
a game that featured no turnovers
or touchdowns — just the second
such contest in league history
the Bills got a last-second field
goal from Steve Christie and kept
the Colts winless, 9-6. In a game
that took just 2:44 to play, neither
team showed much offensively.
But it was the Bills (4-3) who
managed to do just enough to
keep their playoff hopes alive
Buffalo also saw a pair o f its leg
endary veterans reach another pair
o f milestones.

Rodman balks at
signing contract
Forward Dennis Rodman, who
agreed to a one-year contract
worth at least $4 million with the

ago, is reportedly balking at sign
ing the deal because he believes
the incentive clauses are unfair.
The Chicago Tribune is reporting
that Rodman, the NBA’s rebound
ing champion the last six years,
refuses to sign the deal because
he agreed to terms before it was
revealed that All-Star forward
Scottie I’ippen would besidelined
three months and most o f the
clauses are tied to Chicago victo
ries.

Skeptics said it would never hap

Series. No way!
Beat the Baltimore Orioles, the
winningest team in the league this
season, to capture the A merican
League pennant? Dream on!
But during two weeks in early
October, the Cleveland Indians epito
mized the spirit o f teamwork in de
feating both o f those post-season
foes. And this week, the ballclub
play s in front o f a worldwide audi
ence once again as it hosts its second
World Series in three years.
The Indians' hometown ofC leve-

again despite countless
naysayers. The same we-can-do-it
attitude that won the Tribe a spot in
baseball's Fall Classic has Cleve

and private sectors teaming up over
the past decade to produce one o f the

DUVAL VICTORY PUTS EVEN
MORE YOUTH IN PGA’S
WINNERS CIRCLE
It's a Tiger Woods fraternity
The fraternity of 20-something
stars on the PGA Tour has a new
member.
Make room for David Duval. Fi
nally.
While Tiger Woods and Justin
Leonard were winning their first
majors, and Phil Mickelson was win
ning everything but majors, the 25-
year-old Duval had become the
bridesmaid of the tour.
In 92 tournaments, he was run
ner-up seven times. In five tourna
ments. he took the lead into the final
round only to blow up on Sunday or
watch someone else blow by him.
What a difference two weeks -
and two victories - can make.
"I always felt like I could win golf
tournaments out here," Duval said
“It just boils down to finding your
comfort level and realizing that you
don't need to play excellent golf to
win a tournament. You just need to
play well and smart, and not make
mistakes."
That used to be the voice of pa
tience - Duval never showed any
hint of frustration during the close
calls and relentless questions about
whether he would ever win.
Now. it is the voice of experience.
Duval won his first PGA event in
93 trie s last w eek, taking the
Michelob Championship in a three-
way playoff over Gram Waite and
Duffy Waldorf.
Sunday, at the Disney Classic, he was
at it again. He eaught Dan Loi sman with
four birdies on the back nine, then beat
him on the first playoff hole by making
a 15-fixit par putt.
“I proved to my self I could handle
the pressure before winning." he said.
‘Things just haven't gone my way.”
Duval became the first player to win
his first two tournaments in consecutive
weeks since Billy Andrade in 1991.

quality o f services at this clinic.
A Ithough Tay lor’s patient load has
been somewhat steady over the past
years, her financial resources have
dwindled, especially corporate sup
port and pharmaceutical company
support.
Approximately 95 percent o f the
people who come to the clinic are
needy families who have no medical
insurance and are unable to cover
the full cost for services received.
Managed health care patients make
up a small percent o f families seen
while the majority are uninsured,
low-income, medically poor, work
ing poor, or no income.
The clinic has been funded by
monies from United Way, churches,
private donations and community
members.
Gn-going strategic planning, re
source development, and grant-writ
ing must be undertaken to continue
being a viable entity in the commu-
nity.
The clinic has secured the ser
vices of a professional grants-writer
and plans for continued resource
development is being considered to
maintain future services.
Unless the clinic receives $7,000
in donations by Nov. 15, the ser
vices may be reduced or patients
referred out to meet the shortfall o f
resources available at this clinic.
“ I think it will be a real loss to the
community to have services scaled
down" said Taylor. I believe the
ounce o f prevention is worth more
than a pound o f cure if we act now to
support this cause."
Please remember this is a non-profit
clinic, if you can help, send your tax
exempt contributions to N K HC, 5311
N. Vancouver Ave. Portland,OR97217.
Taylor urges you to call the clinic
at (503) 284-5239 for answers to
your questions and to offer support
for a Portland population o f worthy
children and families.
