c8 tribune august 2 1989 we aim to please perfect swing okay sports fans its time for a little philosophy scrum for almost two years i have been assuming control of the sports section of the tribune a paper which has been telling it like it- is in stouffville and sur rounding area for 100 years in the tradition of jimthomas the former editor of the paper who started out writing about the local sports scene i have adopted an approach which leans towards the high achiever now i am fully aware of the growing tendency towards par ticipation as opposed to competi tion prevalent today especially in our schools a public school track and field day i attended earlier this spring left me more than a little confus ed as i tried to find a deserving event- winner to photograph so that his achievement could be captured for all to see in the tribune i a school official tried to ex plain to me that there really werent any winners and losers at the meet just a bunch of kids running and jumping about fine thought i but lets not be so naive as to think we can close our eyes to the competitive in stinct that lies within us all and isnt it better to let it come out on a sports field than a battle field so my approach to the tribune sports page is to highlight those whose abilities are somewhat above average i feel it makes for both more challenging writing and more interesting reading and while we do try to find space for weekly house league scores because everyone likes to see their name in the paper i will admit the majority of my time spent on the sports scene is aim ed towards ferretting out those people who have seen their skills land them some sort of recogni tion either at the local level or in the provincial or national scene but seeing as we at the trib are sport notes bruce stapley not equipped with the same news gathering systems used by the big city dailies it becomes essen tial that those who have achiev ed or who know someone who has contact use with the goods i just love it when i get a phone call from nancy hannah telling me how the uxbridge swim club sent seven swimmers to the pro vincial swim meet in etobicoke or when another person sug gests we run a feature on motocross ace todd townend and his being selected to the team of canadian racers who will com pete in russia this fall our area is growing and there are more and more individuals and groups who are making a mark on the sports scene here and afar id be anxious to hear from you either to inform me of a sports achiever or simply to let me know the type of thing you like to read in the sports page of a community newspaper so help ensure that those kids who are out there training for that big event get their share of the spotlight phone me to let rne know about that new baseball league you and your friends are putting together and please dont be shy i wont think you are blowing your own horn if you call me to tell me about that second place ribbon you won at the provincial gym nastics qualifier in hamilton so talk to me for theres plen ty of higher faster stronger right here in our own backyard and wed all like to read about it sjj squirts bomb perry with
