Teacher Speaks In Portland thank for this national recognition; I accept this award not only for myself but also for the State of Utah and the hundreds of athletes that compete in our summer games program in the true spirit of compering not being afraid of failure." I especially appreciate many of my family members being able to attend this banquet and share in this award. An explanation is in order. Some seven or eight years ago when I was diagnosed with leukemia, which made each teaching day a challenge with the aching in my legs and not the strength to open a door if it was slightly jammed, my mother's health was not good. At that time my wife and 1 felt impressed to handle my health challenges in private; consequently my family that is here tonight was not aware of the struggle that I have been having to get back my health, although I know they have wondered at times and perhaps questioned the drastic lifestyle changes I have made and am making to improve my energy and health. Truly life has taught me at times that it can be a challenging experience. I was born not far from here fifty-si- x years ago this month. My mother, who was laid to rest five years ago this fall in a military cemetery overlooking this hotel and the city of Portland taught me determination, which I do believe is the greatest talent. Mom worked in the shipyard as a welder building liberty ships for the war effort on the Williamettc River not far from here. Those were tough times as Dad was in die Phillippines, mom was expecting with my younger brother, and I was left in a Day Care center which I hated the day mom got wedged between some heavy metal sheeting that she was welding. Mom was pried loose, but the next day she was back at work doing her part in the war effort. My brother surv ived the accident unharmed and is here tonight with his wife Louise from Bremerton. WA. Thank goodness the war finally ended and dad came home from the Phillippines wearing one of those Eisenhower jackets as I remember. My dad is the real athlete in our family. He was recruited out of high school to play football at Oregon state University. I lis recruiting class played in the transplanted Rose Bowl in Durham But dad North Carolina, beating Duke I believe missed that game as he ended up in the Phillippines instead of a Bowl game. Thanks dad for all you've done for me. You delegates from across the United States need to know that your 1997 Athlete of The Year was not much of an athlete in Junior High School. I went out for the basketball team but made it only because the coach kept 30 players on the team. I was player 30. My great accomplishment in basketball that year was getting to play in one game and touch the basketball. I'll always be grateful to by dad because he saw some potential in my ability as an athlete I did not know that I had. 6-- 0.

Circle Four Realty, a North Carolina general partnership, dedicated 4.22 acres for perpetual use as a Advanced Development (Ron Wunderlich, Lary Carter, Mark Whitney and Commissioner Richard Rollins) dedicated 5.8 acres for the same purpose. County Clerk Paul Barton said that both parcels were, to the best of his knowledge, donated without appraisal. He said he does not know if either or both of the parcels will be associated with Circle Four's "in kind" payment upon completion of the road. "The commissioners have turned it over to Doug (Carriger)," he said. 3.

J We moved between my Junior High and High School year when dad was transferred in his job working for the Oregon State Fish Commission. I was too shy and too doubtful of my own ability to even think of going out for the high school football team. But dad, one day as we rode in a fish commission P.U., told me he felt that I was good enough to make the high school freshman team and that he would like to see me try out. Those words of encouragement Com my dad were all that I needed to try out for the team. My confidence soared as I found out that I was good enough to make the team. I got knocked on a lot that first year as 1 remember correctly, but butt my I also learned to jump right back up and give it my best on the next play. Certainly athletics can teach some tremendous lessons in life as we learn how to mentally, physically and spiritually get up just o&e more time than we are knocked down. In closing I would like to say that life is a wonderful yet humbling experience at times for all of us. And even though most of you may not have had the health challenges I have had, you never know when health difficulties may arise. With this in mind let me share with you five steps I have learned that can create ultimate health and help restore energy and vitality to a sick body with time and effort. Number One: The greatest medicine in the world is a walk in the fresh air and sunshine each day of our lives. We are a nation of shallow breathers, and we need to get the oxygen into our body to help give us energy' and health. Oxygen is the most important nutrient in the body and the sun is the giver of all life, and we all need a lot more of both in our lives on a regular basis. Number Two: The drink of champions is pure, undefiled w ater and lots of it, not a fancy named sports drink advertised by a famous professional athlete (hat may not enjoy good health after his playing days are over. Seventy percent of the body is w ater, and pure water is a necessity if our body chemistry is going to w ork right. Number Tliree: The basis of our diet should be fruits and vegetables and grains, not foods that contain unhealthy saturated fats that clog up, gunk up and sicken the sy stem. Fruits and vegetables and grains, when eaten in their natural state contain the energy of the sun, lots of oxygen and distilled water. These foods have energy to heal and created vitality for the body. Thanks to my good w ife we have a tremendous in variety our meals as we cat these power packed energy foods three times a day. Number Four: This is a toughie but can be done. We all need to forgive and forget; I've headed football programs at the high school level on and off for thirty years. I've made some stands on drugs and alcohol with my former athletes that have not been popular. It's not very pleasant to receive threats over the phone, but he who carries a grudge and won't forgive others destroys the energy of a sick body to heal itself. And every day of our lives we need to count our blessings, regardless of the challenges, in order to have ultimate health. Number Five: This is a very personal step to take, but if y ou do not know there is a God in Heaven, you need to find out for yourself if there really is such a being. I w ant each of you to know that I know there is a Ckxl in I leaven who does hear and answer prayers and that any spiritually determined man or woman can talk to as one man talks to another. Thanks once again for this great honor and may bless vou each and all. (iod Industrial Water For Agriculture? Water right is defined by most beneficial use when it is perfected.
