Vincent Brown, Queen Wright, and summer youth workers, Marlin Home and Martha Reid ? take pride in their work and strive to give the kids the best in all pro grams. The staff works hard to keep the youngsters busy in a staff struc tured program, teaching them to work together, encouraging them with positive things, and urging them to be the best they can be. The staff says the children are not as likely to get into trouble when they are staying busy and enjoying them selves. While all of the youth athletic programs are free at the center, Blevins says he would also like to see more of the community getting involved in efforts to help the kids and the programs at all centers. While Roadway Trucking Co. and friends of Blevins sponsored the winter leagues in basketball, which consisted of 141 kids, Blevins is looking for local sponsors to spon sor the summer leagues with new jerseys and trophies.
