But not Luke Jackson; he was making plans to give back before he even graduated from Oregon.' That intent to make a difference was on display again this year at the recently held LJCGT. Though Jackson has graduated from Creswell hero to Cleveland Cavalier, he still grips tightly to that small-town charm that allows him to blend seamlessly into all kinds of crowds. He doesn't hide behind an entourage, he shakes hands, poses for pictures and nods when passing you in the hall. That's the reason it's easy to believe not only in the cause Jackson stands for, but in the man standing behind it. All that said, true kudos for a successful event must be handed directly to tournament director Katy Polansky. We worked closely with her on certain aspects of organization and proliferation of message, but it was Katy who brought everything together. She is a name to watch for in the coming years.

GALLIC Eugene A great sports photo What a great photograph! One girl and six boys running in the Kids Half-Lapper at the start of the Road to Eugene '08 track meet at Hayward Field on Tuesday evening is proof that a picture is worth a thousand words A picture is worth a thousand words is a proverb that refers to the idea that complex stories can be told with just a single still image, or that an image may be more influential than a substantial amount of text. . This is true sport, kids running with all their might with great expression in their faces, and good arm and leg action, and having fun. Wholesome activity and scenes like this are such a nice and great change from the steroids and drug scandals, criminal activity, breaking rules and suspension incidents that appear almost daily in television, radio and newspaper sports reporting. Thank you for the photograph, and putting it on the front page. CAL HERSEY Eugene TO CONTRIBUTE A LETTER The Register-Guard sports department welcomes letters on all sporting topics.
