The Coach's Corner

REHABILITATION
Bo Jackson is successfully "rehabing" his injured
hip and may join the White Sox in September. Bo is
playing with the Sarasota White Sox as a designated
hitter and recently ran a 4.3 to first base. When you weigh
his dual capacity as a football Raider and a White Sox
outfielder he should know that he hasn't been able to give
his best to either team even if he weren't injured. Bo in
this situation is his worst enemy. If he continues to play
football his own hard running could relnjure his hip whir
pulled quadriceps or hamstring pulls. Sure it is a great
thrill to play football but he has a better choice, a safer
one in sticking to baseball, a relatively non-contact sport
compared to football. His extra ordinary strength is no
good to him on the bench. The White Sox are now 7Vt
games back and who knows what they could have been if
Bo had used a safer choice of baseball over football.
However, the probability, 20-20 hindsight, is wishful
thinking. He made his choice and is now living with it and
is doing real well.
The biggest "rehabilitation processes" now will be to
those hundred players, cut or dropped by the NFL in
getting their rosters down to 47 players. Many have no
other sport or occupation to turn to. Many veterans of 10
-years and ex-super bowl stars must now rehabilitate the r ?
' * * * r ?
lives and turn to something else and not drugs or alcohol
to relieve their plight. This is one reason why players
should always complete their college degrees before
turning pro. Dexter Man ley, Dave Dure son, are at an end
to a career, plus many rookies so the "agony of defeat'' is
loss of job as well as personal injury.
High school "kids" should stay in sch??tl if ai all
possible as the "rehabilitation" is more constant for the
"uneducated drop out."

WHAT NEXT???

ourselves, then at least for our children. K>iiuci*n? cannot
do this for us. School administrators cannot do this for us.
We must do it for ourselves!
And whQe Robesonians were informed last week of the
drop out problem in our school system, we also learned
the state of North Carolina has spent $598,000 over the
years in an attempt to prove Andrew Jackson was bom in
North rather than South Carolina.
What kind of priorities are we setting in Raleigh? A half
million dollars would have significantly helped fight the
school drop out rate. Given Andy Jackson's previous
actions towards Indians, the whole mess seems somehow
ironic to us. Apparently, even from his grave, Jackson can
continue to hurt Indians and other in North Carolina by
draining valuable resources from the state's treasury.
Aa the old joke goes, a half of a million dollars here and
a half a million dollars there and pretty soon you're
talking about real money! It's not funny to see our hard
earned money wasted in such a frivolous fashion. Perhaps
everything would be solved if we just buried Jackson
along side George Armstrong Custer and forgot the whole
mesa!
?????????????????????????????????????????a********
One week ago a local newspaper reported a large drug
bust by the Hoke/Robeson Drug Task Force which
resulted in the destruction of 44 marijuana plants valued
at $100,000+. The story was vague and of course from
the viewpoint of law enforcement And while most of us
trust most officers in law enforcement in Robeson County
a badge does not necessarily mean that truth sits on the
wearer's shoulder.
This does not portend to report "the truth" as the
courts will determine that This is only the other side of
the story of this particular drug bust We will not use the
names of those accused of growing marijuana; first
because they are innocent until proven guilty and second,
because they are already suffering from the humiliation of
being accused. The rumor mill has begun destroying this
family...they are being treated as if they are guilty m.t0
they can prove themselves innocent' And of course, this
family maintains their innocence.
A "tip" led the drug task force to the marijuana...the
reason for the "tip" is not known...how the woman who
reported it knew about the marijuana in the woods is not
known.
Officers of the task force arrived in force. The parents
were not home and an eighteen year old woman is
confronted with the full brunt of the drug task force. She
is told about the marijuana which was found in the woods
behind her parents' home. She is placed in a deputy's
car and read her rights. She is told by the sheriff that it
would be best for her to turn her daddy in...she states the
sheriff threatened her...he said he could see that her baby
was taken away from her if she did not "cooperate."
No search warrant was presented but the young girl
knew her father was innocent and "invited." in our
opinion, under duress, the task force to search her
parents' home. No drugs were found! If you've never
witnessed a search, you cannot realize how much
destruction goes on. Clothes, personal items, and bureau
drawers are thrown all over the floor...closets are
emptied, the contents usually winding up on the
floor...mattresses turned upside down and thrown on the
floor. Even the garden in the back of the house was
trampled down as task force members searched gallantly
for evidence of drags on the premises.
As we stated, no drags were found in the house or on
the grounds even though someone with the task force did
tell a visitor to the house that they found three pounds of
marijuana. Later, a shertifTs deputy admitted they found
nothing at the house, only the marijuana in the woods
behind the house. But the rumor had been started and
was well on its way to inflicting the intended damage to
these people who are "innocent until proven guilty."
And why such utter disregard for the constitutional
rights of this family? They are poor, uneducated, and
Indian. This combination makes for an easy target for the
Hoke/Robeson Drug Task Force. Marijuana was found
growing in the woods behind this family's house and
automatically the family is guilty and treated that way by
members of the task force. But, the well-to-do whites who
owned the land in Lumberton where $1 million worth of
marijuana was found have never been talked with by
either the task force or the sheriff's department.
And taht's the way justice works in good ol' Robeson
County?your race, education, wealth, and connections
(political, economic and social) make all the difference in
the woridl So if you are Black or Indian, we advise you to
stay in school, make a lot of money, and cozy up to some
powerful whites....who knows...one day you might be
able to ran for mayor of Lumberton.
LETS I
TALKr.
