The clinics will be con ducted bv James H. Hoke, president of Self Psych, Inc., which has offered the same clinics for American Lung Association Affiliates in 74 cities in 11 states Recent Study A recent study showed 37 percent of family members surveyed believed in yoga and meditation as good health practices. Among young adults, the figure was 46 percent that young people would have an enriching way to spend summer hours and yet, still have fun. Karen Byers, director of the recreattonat~centerr contributed timeless amounts of effort into pro ducing a successful camp. "This year’s camp gave me the chance to observe a variety of kids of different ages and backgrounds and detect what really makes them tick,” she informed. "Darrell was exception al. He is extremely mature for his age, responsible, disciplined, and possesses an eagerness to learn," she continued. Robinson, a 1981 grad uate of East Mecklenburg High School, is the son of Mrs. Ernestine Robinson. Unlike most potential pro fessional athletes, Robin sun never piayea mgn school basketball. A very rare and unusual quality to possess. “I have never played high school basket ball, but I’ve played in various summer and win ter leagues, affiliated with the center." he confirmed. During high school, Robinson directed his ath letic ability toward track and field. A member of the East Meek varsity squad for three years, he gained high respect from team mates as co-captain, and also from head coach Larry McAfee. “Darrell is a super kid," Mcaffee stated. ‘‘He's de dicated, hard working and 1 have all high regards for him as an individual. If anyone deserves suc cess, Darrell does," he concluded. Coach Payne, former player with the profession al league, and present di rector of athletics at Bel mont Abbey College, ap peared as special guest to thfi center in which he conducted a thorough Ob-— servation of an abundance of talented kids. Payne emits a different player each year to tryout for the European squad. ‘‘This year they wanted a kid that was 18 years of age or younger with the desire and willingness to play,” Payne commented. Formerly a player for Wake Forest University, and coach for Clemson Uni versity and East Carolina University, Payne admit ted to trying to discourage Robinson. “I tried to dis courage him as much as possible because it’s diffi cult for a young kid to suddenly have to readjust to a strange country whose culture and language is entirely dissimilar. James, being the mature indivi dual that he is, demon strated that he could han dle the pressure.” According to Payne, Ro binson will leave for Grano la, France, on a two month trial basis tryout. Granola is 80 miles outside of Swit zerland, 100 miles from Paris and has a population of 300,000. "I’m looking forward to it, replied Ro binson. "I'll have the chance to meet new people, experience new things and also expand my knowledge on basketball." If eliminated, Robinson plans are to return to Char lotte and attend CPCC. "I’m not sure if I’ll be eligible for college ball, but if not. I’ll continue to play in the winter league. Are You Missing } Some Of The Happenings In Town?
