Yes, the horrible winter snows have gone, only to be replaced by sunshine, scattered showers and horrible winter snows, alternately.. Now is the time for wildflow- ers, rubber boots and the occasional parka, and for many kids in town, it's also the time to mothball the skates and bang last year's mud out of their cleats - hopefully outside the house. It's with that in mind I write this, because next Saturday, April 18, is the beginning of Ontario Coaches Week. I've had many coaches over the years, be they baseball, basketball, soccer or pine -riding. I can still re- member each of them and what they taught me about the respective games we happened to be playing. These are the folks who give their time freely, teaching kids the funda- This Year's Prize Sponsors mentals of team- work, the rewards of effort and the im- portance of persis- tence... especially during the puberty years, where a sim- ple growth spurt can take a third -stringer and make a starting forward of him. They are also the folks who en- courage developing talents, celebrate times of triumph and console in times of defeat. Now, the Ministry of Health Pro- motion and Sport is getting behind the notion of getting behind our coaches. Which brings me to this: I wantto hear from you.

It could be past, present or future. Doesn't mat- ter. How have coaches helped you, your kids or your community? Back when the Zurich boys were nothing short of the most dynamic baseball town in southern Huron County, we were coached by a guy everybody called Wally. Every Saturday morning we were at the diamond bright and early for practice and Wally would be there hitting fly balls for the outfielders, grounders for the infielders, teaching kids how to get in front of the ball to catch it and to not be afraid of an in- coming pitch. He encouraged us to try harder, he chewed us out if we were slacking off and he was always good for a pat on. the back for a job well done. Of course, when . I got to high school and played indoor sports, my experiences with coaching took on a whole different perspective. I learned phrases such as, "No smoking during the tournament," Continued on next page.
