Exeter's new recreation director has lined up e besy schedule Which should take care of all needs of all boys and girls. This week McKinley and the three girls Who will con- duct the summer's playground program are attending a Play Leadership course in Goderich, More than 140 ..personnel from .all parts of the Lake Huron Zone Recreation Association are attending the Goderich camp. Anne Pinder, Laura. Johns and. Linda are the Ex- eter playground supervisors in attendance. Jim McKinley told us Sunday night. he is hoping to have a well balanced playground program with activities at Com- munity park and Victoria park where the wading pool, will be again used by the smaller children. The playground program will open July 8 and continue until August 16. Registrations will be accepted at anytime at the recreation office at the arena or on the first day of the program. McKinley wished to make it clear that the swimming pool is now open and the first day of clecces will be next Monday. July 1 despite the holiday. Registrations in the beginners divisions are again over- subscribed. There are a few openings in some of the older. age categories. One item added to the playground program this year will be a frisbee competition. INIcKin" lay has already receiv- ed nine official frisbees and they will be used locally. Area winners will be allowed to compete in the national finals to be held at this years Canadian National Exhibition at Toron- to. The local rec director said several new ideas will be tried during playground hours. He added. "the playground is an opportunity to present recreation on a smorgasbord basis". Gymnastics Clinic Another innovation is next week's Recreation Gym- nastics clinic to be held at South Huron District High School. Three co-ordinators of the proposed clinic were in Ex- eter several weeks ago meeting with Jim McKinley and the three playground supervisors. Two of the girls Laura Johns and Linda. Ritchie have been teaching gymnastics each Saturday at the local high school during the winter months for the past two years. McfCrilay said the Toronto based group was highly im- pressed with the local instructors and with the co-operation received from SHDHS for the use of gym facilities. He added. can't speak too highly of the excellent co- operation I have received from principal Joe Wooden and e:others at the school. It has been tremendous." -The clinic is also expected to draw people from all parts ;. of Western Ontario. Registration is free with no charges for any of the two days of sessions. The clinic opens Wednesday. July 3 at 4 p.m. and rims For three hours and concludes with two sessions, Thursday. The three co-ordinators of the program. Mary Cappello, Susan Christilaw and Nancy Cobban along with four young female participants ranging in age from 10 to I4 years of age will be arriving in Exeter early Wednesday afternoon to set up the program. Through this clinic it is hoped different levels of gym- nastic competitions will be developed at South Huron. Teachers and physical education instructors of all area public and separate schools are urged to attend and take ad- vantage of this type of instruction. A new program for physical fitness called Young Olym- pians will be introduced into the senior portion of the summer playground program. It is being organized in this area by John McCarron, the physical education consultant for the Huron-Perth Separate School Board. More on Hiller The honours received by John Hiller for his heroic per- formances with the Detroit Tigers during the 1973 baseball season has now reached six. The latest award picked up by the ace southpaw reliever of the Tigers was Heart of the Year as selected by the American Heart Association. This award was previously limited to United States presidents and top leaders in. Congress. the military and industry_ The Sporting News named him both the Fireman of the Year and the Comeback Player of the Year. The Detroit baseball writers recognized him as Tiger of the Year and the fans made him. King Tiger. In addition the Michigan legislature passed a resolution in his honour. Miler has started off in the 1974 season right where he left off last year. His win total has reached seven and the number of saves now total 12. After one recent game. new Detroit manager Ralph Houk exclaimed. "Thank God for John Hiller-. This is the second good relief man Houk has managed in recent years but he believes Hiller is the best. Houk had Sparky Lyle at New York. He continued the praise for the Canadian native saying. "The thing that's so great about Hiller is that he can pitch more than two innings at a time. Most relievers can't do that. In fact, he's the only reliever I've ever had who could." "John has three good pitches. Sparky Lyle had only one outstanding pitch — his slider. But with his three pitches. Hiller can kill you for three or even four innings. And it doesn't bother hint A day's rest and he is ready to go again.^' By now, everyone who cares at all about baseball, and an awful lot of people who don't are aware of the heart at- tack Hiller suffered in January, 1971 and how he nearly never pitched again. The heart attack and the dramatic comeback that followed changed Miler as a ballplayer from an overweight, erratic southpaw to a superbly conditioned athlete who happens to be the most consistent pitcher the 'Tigers have. In fact, Miler considers the near tragedy the best thing that has ever happened to him. He has changed from a cocky and at times obnoxious pitcher to a bumble, friendly and extremely accommodating man. Drive carefully The Exeter.
