He used to drink coffee but gave it up. Couldn't have been 'cause it got him too hyped! It's impossible to tell from the expression he wears whether the 'baseball team he manages won or lost the night before. Not that he doesn't care. It's just that Cito Gaston is in control, on the field and off. With his defending • champion Toronto Blue Jays parked so far back of New York in their division they can barely see' the Yankee's tail lights, you would think he'd be hopping mad • or downright depressed, yet he's composed, as, always, when someone asks the question for the 400th time: "What's wrong with the Jays?" His everyday answer is that in- juries to key pitchers have had domino effect on his team and even the hitters, who seem to have for- gotten this is the year of the juiced ball, have gone into a slump trying too hard to score 10 runs a night. Gaston seems the perfect man to have at the helm of a ship in peril because he doesn't panic. While rival managers are under siege, lashing , out at the media or threatening to punch out umpires in frustration, Cito maintains an even Lucknow ladies slo-pitch standings Team Wins Losses Silver Bullets 6 1 Ashfield 5 2 Rookies 5 2 Mitfits 4 2 Phillies 3 5.

He grew up fast in a time when it wasn't easy for a young black man in America, 'even a talented baseball player. He was on teams with great players but never on great teams and learned from losing that the sun always comes up the next morning. . "Hank Aaron taught me early to leave it at the park and I've always been able to do that," says Cito when asked how he avoids taking tlke slump home with him. At the park he manages the same way every night. He doesn't tinker with his lineup because he doesn't think it needs it and won't try gim- mickry, like mixing up the batting order to snap a slump, because it would show disrespect for his. players. Above all, Gaston is loyal to those players who play hard and are loyal to the team.

' bickering or finger -pointing despite the fall from grace. As he takes another sip of tea he remembers playing through a slump with the Atlanta Braves in 1977 when they lost a club -record- 17 straight. One night when the streak was a couple of weeks old they had a chance to snap it with a runner on base in the late innings. But a hit that would have driven in the win- ning run bounced over the wall and the runner had to stop at third. The Braves lost again. A few hours after telling the story, Gaston's Jays had a chance to bump their slump when a ball hit by John Olerud bounced over the wall, for a ground -rule double, and the tying run had to stop at third. Toronto lost again. It was slump deja-vu all over again for the most patient man in the world and he reacted just the way he had as a player almost 20 years ago. He left it at the park.

Ducks Unlimited surpasses 93-94 goals Ducks Unlimited Canada (DU) has surpassed its' national goal for 1993-94 by a healthy margin, securing over 173,000 acres and enhancing an additional 157,923 acres. The numbers are up significantly from last year when the 56 -year-old conservation organization secured 143,000 acres and enhanced 136,000 acres. In the past 15 months, nearly 80 per cent of the acreage involved uplands where efforts were made to enhance nes- ting habitat. These figures are con- tained in DU's recently released 1994 Annual Report. The document also highlights the fundraising achievements of . the organization which received close to $13,000,000 from Canadian contributors. More than 79 per cent of the total was raised at hundreds of community events throughout the country. A record 103,921 people attended these functions organized by more than 7,300 volunteers. In total, more than 150,000 individuals and businesses contributed to Ducks Unlimited's conservation programs - a new record. In addition to ' the agricultural programs which„ have been the focus of Ducks Unlimited's efforts over the past five years, several new areas of interest have been identified. They include a commit- ment to conservation works for more than ducks which recognizes the multi -species benefits of wet- lands and their uplands, the new Native Plant Materials Program intended to encourage use of native species in revegetation efforts, and the Nature Watch program aimed at promoting nature viewing and ac- tivities at DU projects. Ducks Unlimited Canada President Bill Turnbull added that education also remains a priority for the organization. "Our serious com- mitment to education will continue through our Greenwing program. At. the same time, we're looking for ways to allow all age groups to enjoy the wonder of wetlands. We believe with programs like Nature Watch, the general public will have a better understanding of the impor- tance of wetlands in our world."
