PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., September 9, 1981 -- 17 Umps and refs have feelings too, you know (From page 16) young men. Obviously, a team which does not play well in a given game, yet is given the opportunity to blame that loss on an umpire for one call or two, is being given the chance to take all responsibjlity for the loss from. their shoulders. A parent or adult leader who permits the younger player to blame his failures on an umpire, regardless of the quality of that umpire, is doing the worst: kind of injustice to that youngster. Summerlea golf by Mary Correll Last Tuesday, the morning and evening gals got together and teed off at 4:30 and it didn't rain!! The players drew out of the hat the number of the only club they could use, alone with a putter. Everyone was amazed at what can (and cannot) be done with just one club - with the following results: No. 3 Iron - Low Gross - Josie Wilson. No. 3, Low Net - Marg Fischer-Anderson. No. 5 Iron - Low Gross - Anne Marie Kennedy: No. 5 Rather than learning responsibility, such an attitude is fostering an improper outlook toward the ideals of the game itself. This irresponsibility is bound to carry over to future years. As I sit here writing this letter I am no longer as upset as I was this afternoon. I wanted to quit umpiring. But, fortunately, my wife reminded me of another situation that occured last week. I was umpiring behind the plate for a pitcher who Low Net - Eleanore Hayes. No. 7 Iron - Low Gross - Nancy Spencer. No. 7 - Low Net - Heather Davis. No. 9 Iron - Low Gross - Lucy Wilson. No. 9 - Low Net - Doreen Bennett. Fewest putts - Skerratt. The players then went on to Noreen Leahy's garden for presentation of prizes and a barbecue. With spot- lights on Noreen's beautiful flower beds, rock garden and fountain it didn't dare rain until we had all gone home.

One could sense that he wanted the crowd to realize that he was a fine, talented player who 'was doing his best to get along, but that I was a black-hearted villain who was working against him. The kid' continued for two innings while at the same time yelling at his own players who dared to make a mistake. For two innings, the manager watched this. When the kid returned to the dugout to bat in the top of the third, the manager called him aside. In a loud enough voice that I was able to overhear, the lecture went like this: "Listen son, it is time you Durham offers relief services for families The Durham Region Family Relief Services offers a relief programme for the families of develop- mentally handicapped people in this area. Our © programme is becoming very successful in 'that many families are using it as an alternative to an institution. Parents of the handicapped face a greater strain than other parents as they do not have the ~ alternatives of a friendly neighbour, relative or the child's friend when a crisis situation arises or when they need a break. Our service gives them that alternative. Their child can stay in their -community, in a familiar home environment and maintain their daily programmes. We are looking for people who are willing to become involved in the programme and provide this much needed relief. Those who wish to become Parent Relief Homes are trained, hired and paid by the Family Relief Programme. The training consists of volunteering at schools or workshops for the handi- capped in the area plus a night school course. This course will start (a) Monday, September 28th at Durham College, 8:10 to 10:10 p.m; (b) Wednesday, September 30th at Port Perry High School 8:10 to 10:10 p.m. The course is called Supervision and Management of the Child with Special Needs, it is twelve weeks in length and . make a decision. You can be an umpire, an actor, or a pitcher. But you can only be one at a time when you are playing for me. Right now it is your job to pitch. And, you are basically doing a lousy job, "Leave the acting to the actors, the. umpiring to the umpires, or you won't do any pitching here. Now what is it going to be." Needless to say, the kid chose the pitching route and went on to win the game. When the game was over the kid followed me to my car. Fighting his hardest to keep back the tears, he apologized for his actions and thanked me for umpiring the game. He said he had learned a lesson that he would never forget. I can't help but wonder . . . how many more fine young men are missing their chance to develop into out- standing ball players because their parents en- courage them to spend time umpiring, rather than working harder to play the game as it should be played?

Sunnybrae golf by Vera Brown Golfing this week was a wee bit wet but 19 ladies teed off on Tuesday and those who waited for a drier day were out of luck.
