Gwynn signs contract

SAN DIEGO (AP) — All Star outfielder Tony Gwynn signed a five-year contract that will pay him mor than $500,000 in 1985 and more than $1 million if San Diego Padres exercise their option on him in 1990, his lawyer said Friday.

Gwynn, 24, had an existing contract with the Padres that wasn't to expire until after the 1985 major league base- ball season. But Padres gen eral manager Jack McKeon announced at a news con ference Friday that the new pact replaces the old

“T'm ecstatic,” Gwynn said. “I'm really happy we got this thing settled quickly.”

Gwynn was paid $100,000 for the 1984 season, during which he hit a league-leading 351, had five home runs, drove in 71 runs and scored 88. He would have received $180,000 in 1985 under the previous contract

Gwynn finished third in balloting for the National

League's most valuable play er, behind second baseman Ryne Sandberg of Chicago Cubs and first baseman Keith Hernandez of New York Mets.

McKeon refused to disclose the terms of the new deal, saying only that it was “a substantial increase.” But Lew Muller, a San Diego agent who negotiated the pact, told The Association Press the deal will pay Gwynn at least $500,000 next season

The right fielder also re- ceived a six-figure signing bonus, and salary increases that will pay him nearly $1 million during the 1989 sea- son “and more than $1 million” if the Padres pick up his option in 1990, Muller said.

Muller said he and McKeon began negotiating the new deal immediately after the conclusion of the World Ser- ies, in which the Padres lost to Detroit Tigers in five games

Reflections & recollections

ELLA MARTIN ‘A TEACHER AND FRIEND'

The famous poem, Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, by Thomas Gray (one which so many have to learn and very few fully understand, says:

“Full many a flower is born to blush unseen

And waste its sweetness on the desert air.”

The churchyard about which Gray is writing is the village church Stoke Poges, a small village on the Thames River which one may visit on the way. up to Windsor Castle.

The beautiful little 18th century stone church sits quietly in an ancient, carefully kept churchyard after the manner of the Robson Community Church. It is surrounded by a picket fence with a wicket gate, over which grows a rowan tree, to keep out the witches.

Big gnarled yews and elms spread their wide branches over the simple graves just as they did 100 years ago when Gray wrote his peom — a poem which honors those humble village people who lived industrious, fulfilled, loving and worthwhile lives, and who then passed quietly into obscurity.

Under different circumstances, he says, they might have been Miltons or Cromwells “guiltless of their country's blood” or valiant defenders of their country's lands and rights. But history decreed, then as now, that is should be otherwise.

They had lived lives of honor and dedication, filled with living and loving, but their stage had been tiny and their end all but unnoticed. Nonetheless, they and others like them are not forgotten and there many who will recall that their own lives would have been emptier for their having been absent

Such a one was Miss Ella Martin — spinster, fellow teacher and friend of many, some 30 years ago. She died this past June 6 in Victoria, as quietly as she had lived, 25 years after she retired from the staff of Stanley Humphries Secondary School. I think she would have been very surprised at the number of good memories that she has left behind and I have undertaken to inform her friends here so that her passing will not go unnoticed.

I remember her as a maiden lady in the old tradition

modest in demenor, but feisty in word and outlook; always neat and well groomed, as befitted one who believed that it was an essential part of her duties as a teacher to set a proper example in speech, dress, and manners.

She was a friendly and sociable women and a lively and , at the same ftime she was a very private person with a bright ‘sparrow-eye which discouraged over-familiarity. Thus, it was that for all the 25 years that I knew her, I never heard anyone address her by her given name, Ella, but always as “Miss Martin.” Even when she retired to Victoria and we would invite her to lunch or tea and a lively chat, the formalities were still observed. She was a symbol of stability and permanence in a very uneertain world

Memories bestir memories which lie sleeping. In attempting to get a little background about her I contacted Sica the, scheel Sesrd ote om ee British Columbia Teachers’ Federation office — bot! without result. “Chalk-dust to chalk-dust” would seem to be the attitude of educational officialdom in the shadow of 1984.

—————

However, Mrs. Smales came to my rescue with the information that Miss Martin had been born in La Pas, itoba and at ime had taught in 1 fore coming to Stanley Humphries High School in Castlegar. I remembered her then as one who always attended the school dances. She loved dancing, she said, and she spoke foundly of the earlier days on the farm when as a girl, she went to the rural, winter barn dances where

they would dance until milking time. Even in later times, near her retirement, she was still agile and light on her feet as thistledown — a wonderful dancer.

She was also quite a competent artist and was happy to show her work to a few privileged persons. Her work — usually done in the abstract style which she developed from the unconscious — was a very personal thing. Thus, when Mrs. West asked her if she ever sold any of her paintings, she replied very indignantly, “Would you sell your own children?”

With her painting, so with her pupils: As Vi Stoushnow recalled, “She loved kids and wanted the best for them and of them. She had a lot of patience particularly for certain people. She had an easy and pleasant style but if you abused it watch out! She made us want to do our best for her. I thoroughly enjoyed her 9C class.”

When I called him, John Plotnikoff chuckled and said, “She told me I should never go into teaching. She was very upset and disappointed at something I had typed in a practice letter.”

When he added:“But she liked me and I liked her. She was one of the best Commerce teachers very explicit in her instructions, and if you didn't follow them you were in trouble — a fantastic person.”

“I had the deepest regard for her, Banigan. “She was understanding, always quietly dignified and sociable, and she loved her kids for themselves. Her appearance never changed either, and she never seemed to get any older — a kind of perpetual Peter Pan.”

A June 18, 1959 story in the Castlegar News gives an account of the retirement party the Castlegar Teachers’ Association gave for Dr. Frank Thorne, Miss E.A McKinnon and Miss Martin.

Miss C. Hogendoorn, also a teacher, spoke of Miss Martin as “a person of high ideals and an inspiring personality.” She also confirmed the fact that Miss Martin had been born in Manitoba, took business training in B.C. and taught here for some time before moving back to her home province for more teaching.

She then returned to B.C. and taught in Rossland from 1936 until 1952 when she came to Stanley Humprhties from which she retired.

Verna Kereiff remembers during that latter time that Miss Martin had her typing room just across from the school office. “I liked her. She was a nice lady.”

A lot of people it seems liked her, for she was a nice lady, dedicated to here work, who, without fanfare or self-praise inspired her pupils to do their best within their capabilities by love and a firm but kindly discipline. They were, like her paintings, her family “my darlings,” as she used to call them, to be cared for as her own and until this time of searching I had not realized what a fond and extensive family she had raised; a most enduring memorium to a fine, but not forgotten lady.

In addition to the persons already mentioned and to those I intended calling but didn't have time, I would like to thank Fred Stoushnow, Ann Proud, Vay Oliphant. Phyllis Goldberg, Helen Strelieff, Burt Campbell, Jack Chernoff and Bill Cheveldave for direct and indirect assistance to this small tribute — a poor thing, but our own.

By Pastor VICTOR STOBBE Apostolic Church of Pentecost

THE GAME OF LIFE: PLAYED AT THE GREY CUP OR THE COMMUNION CUP? Ni logies can be

the letter H. Heaven on one and Hell on the other.” One of the popular simi larities between the football game and the church is that both have a handful of people doing the work on the field while the stadium is packed

developed between the foot: ball game and our personal involvement in the game of life.

Billy Graham was invited to open one of the bowl games with prayer. His prayer included some of the following analogies between football and the Christian life.

He said, “Two teams are involved, as is in the game of life. One team will win. Which is also true in the game of life

“There are two goals situ ated at opposite ends of the field. The goalposts are in the shape of the letter H. In the game of life there are two goals, each beginning with

with ‘s. They watch, eat, cheer and boo.

The greater satisfaction in a game is to be a participator rather than a_ spectator. However, regardless if there is actual involvement or ob- serving, it is a great asset to know the purpose and rules of the game.

The story is told of some one who was uneducated in the game of football. Upon going to their first game and reading the program they realized that a tight end was not a player who had been drinking; a split end need not have a dual personality; a tackle eligible is not nec. essarily a bachelor, and the ineligible receiver is not nee essarily a married man.

Being knowledgeable of the game of football is not an essential to life, as is being knowledgeable of the game of life.

People’s lack of knowledge regarding the game of life which deals with life bere and hereafter — is appalling.

Their information has been compiled from a variety of sources, mixed in with their personal ideas that are suit able to their lifestyle without having made reference to the “Book” that tells about the game of life.

Another aspect regarding the analogy between the Grey Cup and the fellowship of saints around the com munion cup. For many it is a seasonal event. Especially once a year when the final game is to be played

Every effort will be made to be at the game or see it on the television.

We are entering the Christmas season when an increase is experienced in church attendance. It is a

good time to hear about the birth of Jesus Christ, the One who gives us the victory in the game of life.

I hear references made to- ward people who attend church regularly as being fans — or a derogatory term — fanatics of Jesus.

Yet it seems to be ac ceptable to be a fan or fanatic for football. They can name all the teams, players, quote statistics about the game.

But, how acceptable is it to be a fan of Jesus Christ.

How familiar are we with the names of the books of the Bible wherein is defined the game of life for now and eternity?

The Church, the commun ion of saints, gathered around the communion cup have been given a mandate and the power to fulfill that mandate. Christ, our coach leads us on to victory

Be a winner, follow Jesus Christ.
