Good seasons aren't

enough for Canseco

PHOENIX (AP) — Smiling smugly and arms
raised, Jose Canseco turned to the crowd after his first
home run of spring training mocking those who taunted
him.

If it is possible to. think of a player making a
comeback from a 37-homer, 101-RBI season, Jose
Canseco is that player,

Coming back from injury and World Series
ignominy and the breakup of his marriage, Canseco is
his own man with his own set of priorities.

His top priority is to please himself, to stay healthy,
Play 150 to 155 games and put up some stats. He doesn’t
much care if he pleases the rest of the Oakland Athletics
or the fans. ‘

He won’t go for another 40-homer, 40-steal year, as
he did in 1988. He'll try to baby his injured back by
running less. But he doesn’t discount the possibility of
50 homers.

“If I can get my at-bats, stay healthy, there’s no
telling what I can do,”’ he boasted, surrounded by
curious rookies in the A’s spring-training locker room.

Five months ago, he was the slugger who disappeared
while the Cincinnati Reds swept-Oaktand: He had one
hit, a homer, in 12 at-bats, and didn’t start the final
game. Oakland fans jeered him as much as they did the
Reds.

“People are always looking for an excuse, looking
for a scapegoat, and I was the perfect scapegoat at the
time,’’ he said.

He skulked away from Oakland. His wife, Esther,
made more noise, complaining about the treatment he
got from the A’s. Now she’s giving him the treatment,
trying to move his divorce suit from Florida to
California, where the law calls for a split of assets.

Unlike most players, who evoke sympathy, or at
least understanding, when they play hurt, Canseco got

little of either, Fans jeered him and teammates ignored
him. Hardly anyone, including Canseco, talked about
the pain he felt since June in his right leg from the
bulging disk in his lower back.

“It was like a razor going down the side of the leg
and it didn’t finally go away until three weeks before the
start of spring training,"’ he said,

The pain was almost constant in the second half of
the season. In May, he hit .353 with 13 homers and 35
RBIs in 27 games. In June, he lay in traction during a
15-day spell on the disabled list.

In his first 24 games after the all-star break, he hit
-344 with 12 homers and 28 RBIs. The rest of the
season, as the pain increased, he hit only three more
homers and drove in 19 runs in 45 games as he changed
his batting stance to put less strain on his back. Through
it all, he made only one error.

He finished third in the American League in homers
behind Detroit’s Cecil Fielder (51) and the A’s Mark
McGwire (39), and fourth in RBIs in 131 games. His
batting average sagged to .274.

Spine specialists offered—Canseco” different
approaches to solving his disk problem, some advocating
surgery, others the more conservative met he chose,
Two and a half months of rest and endltss hours of
physical therapy and exercise made the pain go away.
He knows the disk still can rupture at any time.

He swings the bat perhaps faster and harder than
anyone in baseball, putting more torque on his back and
threatening further damage to the disk.

“I’m going to try to baby my back,”’ Canseco said.

've got to pace inyself this year. Maybe not try to
stretch a double into a triple, maybe not dive at balls.
I'm sure there’s going to be times when I'll be out,
where I’m going to DH here and there, and that helps in
the longevity sense.’’

winners. It had p ly been a
three- or four-game draw.

Speakers dazzle Rotary women

By JOHN CHARTERS

The Castlegar Rotary club’s ladies’
night featured two speakers at its
dinner meeting last week.

Helene McGall, performing arts
coordinator for the Nelson school
district and the Regional
Festival in Nelson,
music students and their parents to
the festival being held in Nelson on
April 19 and 20. She said it is an ex-
cellent opportunity for Castlegar
music students to be evaluated and
adjudicated by jud, who are-at the
top of their specialties.

She extended a further invitation
to the Arts and Crafts Festival to be
held at the Lake Side Park in Nelson
on June 29 and 30. Music "91 and
Chatauqua celebrations are being
held in conjunction with this festival
and it is expected that 10,000 to
15,000 visitors will be in attendance.

The second speaker of tlie evening
was Maite (pronounced mighty)
Bilbao of Tenque Lauquen, Buenos
Aires, Argentina. The pretty and
ever-smiling Rotary exchange student
used maps and slides to tell a char-
med audience of her life and ac-
tivities in her homeland.

At the end of the meeting, she
talked about various Argentinian
artifacts that she had set up earlier
on a display table. She explained the
uses of such exotic devices as the
bolo, a device used by the gauchos
(cowboys) to catch cattle in the
Argentine. Exchange students Jin-
tana (Ling), Knotmit of Betong,
Thailand and Megumi Hirosi, newly
arrived from Bihoro, Hokkaido,
Japan, joined Bilbao at the display
table.

As always, the Rotary Anns, led
by Jane Lippa and Jeanette Donald-
son, took oyer the office of sergeant
at arms, lightening Rotarian pockets
to raise money and pay expenses for
activities such as the Rota Villa
Valentine tea.

Church bids adieu to minister

Rev. Ted Bristow, the longtime
Castlegar United Church minister,
was given a heartfelt farewell at a
potluck supper March 23 at the
church. Nearly 100 members of the
church congregation turned out for
the fun-filled evening of thanks and
reminiscences.

Bristow is the ‘‘dean’’ of local
church ministers, having served in
Castlegar for the last 18% years.

Ab Dunn was the master of
ceremonies. The evening’s program
included more than a dozen speakers
who recalled special memories of
Bristow, some of them funny and
many quite tender.

Among the speakers were Gwilym
and Eileen Hughes, who could not
be in attendance, but refused to be
left out, so sent their message via
video. Gwilym Hughes recalled
making the telephone call to Bristow
in 1972 informing him of the
decision to call him to Castlegar
United.

On behalf of the congregation,
board chairman Ron Norman
presented Bristow with a
