Newcomer By CHARLES F. TRENTELMAN som etimes angry, but always Mo. 25, 187 Standard-Examiner staff Leander Coates was angry. He was so angry, he said he might have trouble being objective as he talked. Having to spend Monday morning getting your son out of jail does that to you. ‘ve heard here and throughout Utah that (blacks) are saying, “What's the use?” It’s the attitude that, “If “He was just in the neighbor- said of his son, hood,” Daryl. Coates because he was black and near they keep me down long enough, I’m going to give up.”” — Leander Coates Coates said his son was arrested the scene of a robbery. That his son was released and the charges were dropped doesn’t make it any better, he said after the recent incident. He thinks. his son never should have been arrested and forced to spend the night in jail. Coates, new pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Embry Chapel in Ogden, said the incident illustrates what he’s been saying — that blacks are discriminated against by Ogden City. (Ogden police detective Joe Chesser said Daryl Coates, 18, was arrested in the vicinity of © 30th and Grant after two juve- niles were seen running from the scene of a burglary at IntermounBin Depa 3051 Washington Blvd. (Two scooters taken in the bur-_ glary were found abandoned in the area, Chesser said. He said that Daryl Coates was booked into the Weber County Jail and that four people were involved in , the burglary.

No one, for Leander Coates has been in Og- active when, “The Lord decided to change my mind.” He became 1nvolved in Christian church activities. The AME Church is a good one for him, he said, because it preaches that members must get out and work in their community.
