North Club gym reopens, offers alternative
Owners David and Sandy Corneal leased the property to Mushin Inc., in 2003 and the area was operated as C5 Fitness, facility manager Steven Korkus said. When the company filed for bankruptcy Nov. 15, the property reverted back to original owners David and Sandy Corneal. "We had a lot of requests from former members, so we decided to [reopen it]," David Corneal said. "The demand is here." Korkus said the gym serves a variety of clientele. "Our clientele ranges from college students to senior citizens," Korkus said. "It's mainly an older clientele early in the day. After classes let out, a lot of students come in." The facility has been undergoing major renovations, Korkus said. "Right now, we're working on a lot of the mechanical systems like the air conditioning, heating and hot water units," Korkus said.
Sports letters
I firmly believe Long and his staff will make inroads in the local high school scene and in the next couple of years I think fans will see a different team, one that is tougher, physical, fast and understands the coaches' philosophy and how to win. .

Ortiz continues to help needy in Dominican
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- Diana Carolina Reyes is a darling in pink and is beginning to look marvelous in every color. Her best shirt is a pink tank top adorned with a photo of her favorite reggaeton artist, Puerto Rico's Daddy Yankee, and the tiny plastic barrette that holds her brown hair back is a lighter shade of the same color. The heart-shaped pillow she clutched through the tough times at the hospital is also the softer side red and even her favorite pet these days, a stuffed animal frog, has rosy webbed feet. Reyes' doctors at Centros de Diagnostico y Medicina Avanzada y de Confercias Medicas y Telemedicina (CEDIMAT) have fallen in love with the color as well, but for different reasons. Pink is a color of life. It's the color of Reyes' lips, the bottom of her hands and bottom of her feet when her body is receiving enough oxygen.

One on One With Brandon Roy
Brandon Roy has missed a lot of basketball games. After the pain in his foot became too much for him to play with the doctors diagnosed him with a misalignment of a bone in his leg, causing the major discomfort in his foot. Roy was fitted with a boot and told to stay off of it for three weeks. The other day he got back on the court for some full-speed drills - not practice - and came out of that with no issues. The next step for Roy is a real practice, something that will come when the team gets back together and starts ramping up for Wednesday's game with the Houston Rockets. Following Portland's big win over the Los Angeles Clippers, Roy gave Basketball News Services a status update on his foot and what he can bring to a Blazer team that has won four games in a row. How is the foot doing after that first run through? It felt good.
