SEASON OPENS APRIL 29 SPORTS Losing doesn't count yet Grapefruit pits don't disturb Blue Jays By STEVE McALLISTER The Canadian Press Joe Carter sat in the dugout with his head “bowed Tuesday night, seconds after flying out feebly to right field. A television camera zoomed in on the Toronto Blue Jays new right fielder as he lifted a bat over his head, apparently ready to turn it into kindling. But Carter broke into a huge smile and laughed as he gently handed the bat back to a teammate. Heck,’ it’s only spring training. “People shouldn't put too much emphasis on wins and losses here,” Carter said last week from the Jays’ spring quarters in Dunedin; Fal. “The fans feel we should win all the games, but that’s typical. “When April 8 ( opening ay) rings, you'll see a different team."’ The Jays’ faithful certainly hope so. Toronto had only eight wins to its credit through the first 25 games of the exhibition season. Only the Detroit Tigers sported a worse pre- season mark (8-19) among the 26 major-league clubs. The Jays’ .320 winning percentage CITO GASTON ++. quite calm has struck-fear into fans, who hang their heads and wonder what's wrong with their boys of spring. “Maybe they don’t realize what we're trying to do down here,” says Toronto manager Cito Gaston. “‘If we were starting the season like this, PATGILLICK «+» taking a look I'd be worried.” baggage around his midsection. Montreal first baseman Andres Galarraga is fine-tuning his hitting Stroke to cut down on last year’s 169 strikeouts. ; “*You basically want your veterans to get their work in, and you want to give the younger players as many at- bats and innings as you can so you can make a proper evaluation of everyone,"’ says Expos manager Buck Rodgers. A successful Grapefruit League campaign doesn’t always translate in- to regular-season success and a losing spring won't nécessarily spiral into a long summer, Montreal rang up a club-record 20 exhibition wins in 1975, but finished fifth in the National League East with a 75-87 mark. In 1987, the Ex- pos were 11-16 in the spring before winning 91 games in the regular season and finishing third. Toronto, however, used a strong i to a suc- and players, the veterans, put little emphasis on individual statistics and standings during the spring. George Bell used Dunedin carrying a to arrive in little excess Pi asa cessful campaign in 1985. The Blue Jays were 19-9-1 in the spring that year and went on to post a 99-62 mark and the franchise’s first American League East pennant.

After listening to their claims and counter-claims for half an hour I was unable to make a deci: ion and took the pair to the pri cipal, a formidable and highly ethical veteran of the education wars. He spent a further half hour cross-examining the girls with an equal lack of success. We than called in one of their classmates who, being a friend of both, was unwilling to commit himself but did make the obvious Suggestion of asking those who had autographed the case to identify the owner. It was done in a minute, and the decision unanimous, the right girl was sent back to class. The principal then bent his fiercest gaze on the cause of all the furore who, inci » had almost i us both of her innocence, and said through tightened lips, “why have you kept two busy men here for an entrie hour, lying through your teeth, claiming something that didn’t belong to you?”’ She answered simply, without a hint of guilt or remorse: “‘Because | wanted it, sir.’” It was a response that chilled me to the bone then and chills me to this day. That girl was totally without a sense of right or wrong. She saw herself as the sole judge of her conduct; her own wishes, appetites and desires. The chill came from the realization that I was not looking at one lying schoolgirl with no concept of ethical conduct (ethics being defined as the study of right and wrong) but a growing attitude in Society. In the get-away-with-it, philosophy of today, success only means avoiding detection, failure is getting caught with one’s fingers in the cookie jar. It is the only immorality. Actions in themselves are neither right-nor wrong, but simply means to an end. On the international level it represents the Gulf War in a nut shell. God help us. This is turn brings me to the second story: during the war in the Mediterranean I had the dubious honor of bringing the brigade bren-gun carriers up the shank of Italy to the front. In the course of the long trek my driver ii me, quite i » that on Civvy street he had been a professional safe-cracker. It was made as simply a statement of fact. He could have been a skilled machinist, carpenter or millwright, but he wasn't. He opened safes — with or without explosives and definitely without the knowledge of the owner. I learned a lot about safecracking on the trip, now forgotten. One evening our column arrived at Foggia, a large city in the south central Italian plain. A few days earlier some misdirected individual had dared to fire on an advancing American division and the city had been bombed and shelled into ruin. When dark fell my driver disappeared to return in the early hours of the morning. He was very annoyed. He had gone into the city and after finding and opening one safe without result, had found a wrecked jewellery shop with a Promising vault. He had spent much time in preparation and then blown it, Before he could enter, however, the military police patrol who had heard the noise came storming in at the front door and he had to beat a hurried exit by a back window. He had nothing to show for his nigh*’s work. He bitterly and r about the police interfering in the (as hew saw it) legitimate pursuit of his craft. It was all their fault. This leads into a third story on an opposite track and a possible, partial remedy: Back in the 1970s, I joined the Rossland Rotary Club and there met the late J.C, Urquhart — pioneer, pharmacist, W.W. I air ace and former magistrate, He was very old and very. stern. “John Charters?”" he said after we had been introduced, ‘*You wouldn't be related to a John Charters who had a general store in Vancouver just before the turn of the century?”’ “Yes, sir,”’ | said (J.C. was a man you sirred first and first-named second). That would be my grandfather.” “In that case,’’ he said, ‘I have a story to tell you,” and leaning on his favorite S.S.-Beaver cane, began. “My father had a liquor store a block away from your grandfather’s general store. One day my mother sent me out for some thread and when I walked into the store I saw a travelling salesman eating an apple which he had taken from the apple barrel beside the counter. When he saw me eyeing him hungrily he reached into the barrel, took out an apple and said, ‘Here, kid,’ have one.’ When I returned to my father’s store munching on the apple my father said, ‘‘Well, Jack where did you get that apple?’’ I told him. He asked: ‘Did Mr. Charters give you that apple?"’ I said, *‘No, sir, he didn’t, the salesman gave it to me. “Without another word my father locked up his store and taking me by the hand conducted me back to your grandfather’s store where I had to apologize for taking something without his permission. I was five years old then and that was 75 years ago."" These stories and Bill Vander Zalm’s fall from grace have a common theme — the concept and perception of ethical conduct — ‘‘the obligations of morality,’’ as someone has phrased it. It was once the foundation ~~ stone of every curriculum, secular and religious. Today it is just an option at the college and university level and Not a requirement at the junior levels where it is most needed. Moreover, there are few teachers, fewer stern parents and still fewer public servants who are prepared to give it meaning in our culture. Pi In a society in which the lowest common denominator is the standard in almost everything, the only possibility is for more of the same, fueled by greed. The irl, the and our chari: ic past Premier, who is essentially a good-intentioned man, are all crew members of a ship without a rudder and they have millions of companions, and hell is paved with good intentions. In short, Pogo once said, ‘We have met the enemy and he is us.’” Speaker on tap Simone Dumont of Nakusp will be the special guest speaker at the Castlegar Women’s Aglow Fellowship luncheon to be held at the Sandman Inn at 10:30 a.m, on Wed- nesday, April 10. Dumont came to B.C. from the French Canadian community of Dauphin, Mi as a small child. Since moving to Nakusp in 1987, Dumont has counselled: many women, both privately and through various workshops, on anger, depres- sion and self-esteem. Her ministry is straightforward, no-nonense teaching that challenges women to live up to the word of God and God’s plan for. their lives. i BIRTHS & DEATHS / BIRTHS CROCKER To Marilyn and Larry Crocker of Salmo, a girl, born March 26.
