guess Week a success
Cliptpn Recreation Director Kevin
pu a* says that'becafulse of the ettccess" of
Clinton Fitness Week, which was held from
May 13-16, it Will become an annual event.
The three-day event attracted close to
2,000 participants in a variety of fitness-
related events.
"It was a success! I'd like to thank all
participants and I personally look forward
to planning the 1985 Fitness W.eek.activities.
I also look forward to having our community
groups participating," Mr. Duguay said.
The first annual Clinton Fitness Activity
Week was indeed a success. In recent years,
no other recreational event has' attracted
such a large number of Clintonians. '
The following individuals (and groups)
should be recognized for their efforts in
making the Fitness Day a successful
community event: Clinton Kinsmen Peggy
Jones, Katimavik, Al Taylor, Ed Cappelli,
Jane Muegge and Cathy Thompson.
By far the most popular event during the
Fitness Week was the Fun Run which
attracted nearly 400 participants.
"For a first time event we were expecting
maybe 100 people. When 400 showed up we
were caught by surprise. Two Katimavik
members were volunteers and without their
assistance at the Fun Run, I would have
been unable to administer it," Mr. Duguay
said.
Participants jogged, pushed strollers,
walked on stilts, walked and rode bicycles.
All participants were provided with
certificates, and buttons compliments of the
Recreation Committee.
Nutrition Day, in Mr. Duguay's words,
was "a little bit of a let down."
"I think the evening nutrition seminar
made up for the disappointing turnouts
during the day. We had 50 people attend the
evening seminar," Mr. Duguay said.
Nutrition Day was conducted by Jane
Muegge of the Ministry of Agriculture and
Food and Cathy Thompson of the Huron
County Health Unit. The evening session
.`'4104 "Great Entertaining."
Wednesday, May 16, Fitness Day, saw
both the Clinton Public School and St.
Joseph's Separate School participate in a 15 -
minute walk around the block.
This day also, featured the Clinton
Kinsmen sponsored Fit -In Day in which
Peggy Jones conducted two 15 -minute
family aerobic sessions.
The Fitnik Coloring Contest was a big
success as, both elementary schools in town
took part. The winners were Boun My
Phannajong, 12, from St. Joseph's Grade 6
and Kara Freeman, 8, of Clinton Public
School, Grade 3.. Both winners 'receive a
Clinton Fitness Week T-shirt. Their award-
winning drawings are on display at the
Clinton Arena.
Fitness Week future
Mr. Duguay has confirmed that the
Clinton Fitness Week will certainly be an
annual event. Next year promises to be even
better.
"Next year we will have more time to
prepare. The committee will be in a:position
to offer a better variety of events. Next year
we're thinking of signing up for the Great
Canadian Participation Challenge," Mr.
Duguay said.
The Participation Challenge is a great
idea. It gives the Clinton and area people the
opportunity to show the rest 'of Canada just
how fit they are. It is a nationpl scale to
see how many, people in each town or city
have participated in a fitness -Orientated
event for at least 15 minutes.
In the past over 150 centres have signed up
for the event with over one million people
participating. Participation is- the name of
the game.
Presence visible
Mr. Duguay's efforts in the recreation
field are shining through! In the short two
and a half months that Mr. Duguay has been
active as Recreation Director, recreational
activity in this town has been on a steady
increase.
A variety of recreational programs have
been created for both young and old.
Recreational participation is on the
increase!
Recreation Guides available
This week a Clinton Summer Recreation
Guide' '84 was released. In this dynamic
guide to the good life, Mr. Duguay has
outlined the minor ball schedules,
recreational programs, a list of community
contacts, rental rate information, roller

record to 4-1. Pictured is starter Dan Colquhoun who got the win. (Rod Hilts photo)
By Rod Hilts
CLINTON - The coach of the Fleming -
Colts said that his team is beginning to pride
itself on defensive play more so than its
offensive power this season in hardball
action.
Coach Brian "Sly" Kennedy couldn't have
been happier with his team's defense last
weekend as Clinton edged Walkerton 5-4 on
Friday night and rattled Byron 8=3 on
Sunday afternoon. The weekend sweep
improved the Fleming -Colts' record to 4-1.
Dan Colquhoun got the winfor the Colts as
he. pitched four innings before giving way to
Andy Flowers. •
Brent Daw led the Colts at the plate going
two for four with a double and two RBI(s).
Daw also played a stellar game behirid the
plate alhd gunned down a stealing attempt
by the Byron club. Colquhoun had two
singles and two RBI( s).
The young Byron crew opened up the
scoring in the third inning when McEthinney
led off with a double to right field. Fanset
followed. with a single to left field and then
. stole second.. Sadler's sharp single to left
scored McEthinney. •
Clinton exploded for five runs in their half
of the third inning when a clutch single by
Colquhoun brought home two rtinners and a
• double by Daw brought in two more.
Del Mitchehnore started the, inning With a
hot smash past the shortstop. Bill Tugwell ' '
followed with . a walk and the runners •

on the mound and walked Cal Fremlin to
load the bases. Colquhoun came through

bounced out to the second„ baseman,
advancing Daw to third base. Daw scored on
Kevin Adams' slow -roller along the first
base line. The Colts came out of the inning

ball on numerous occasions throughout the
contest. Clinton outfielder Mike Williscraft
made a fine diving play on a short fly ball to
left field in the fourth inning.
"The ball just dropped off," a grass -
stained Williscraft said after making the
spectacular catch.
The Fleming -Colts added one run in the
fifth inning to increase the lead to 6-1.

Walks hurt Byron
In the seventh inning, both teams were
Preoccupied by the hush before the rain
storm.. Obviously, Byron was more
preoccupied as Clinton scored two runs as
five batters were walked.
Daw led things off with a walk. Robinet
walked and the runners advanced one base
on a wild pitch by Mark Regan. Regan
continued to struggleand walked Flowers to
load the bases. A wild pitch to Williscraft
scored scored Daw from third. After
Williscraft struck out, Mitchelmore walked
and Tugwell walked to bring in Robinet with
the skies opening up.
Following a two-part 10-minuterain
delay, Fremlin walked to score Flowers
from third. Colquhoun bounced out to end
the inning.
Heated moments
The game wasn't without its heated'
moments as tempers flared a few times in
the 26 C heat. The tempers came to a head in
the eighth inning when both benches
emptied after an incident at second base.
After Byron's Wenn reached base on a
walk, he made a steal attempt and was
caught in a run down by Colquhoun and
Fremlin. Fremlin tagged Wenn out at
second and the two exchanged words.
Colquhoun grabbed Wenn in an attempt to
calm him down and both benches poured
onto the field. Nothing further developed but
bad feelings dominated the scenario through
the rest of the game.
Byron scored the final run in the game in
the ninth inning- after Jovichevich sliced'a
double and scored on a single by Regan.
Thrown out
The highlight of the inning was the
ejection off. Byron's Sheppard, who hotly
disputed a called third strike by Home Plate
Umpire Joe Livermore. Sheppard was given
the heave-ho and continued to hurl offensive
threats toward Livermore as he made his
way to the dressing room. Later Livermore
said that the player would be suspended for
more than the duration of the game.
,Colts 5 Walkerton 4
"Our defense was excellent. It was really
good," Coach Kennedy said of the Fr1'
night win over Walkerton.
Behind the sii-solid Pitchk10
performance of Don MacDonald, the COO
were able to edge Walkerton 5.4. Mike
Williscraft came in as the relief man to Pick
up the win.
Del Mitchelmore opened the game with a
lead-off walk. After a sacrifice bunt by Mark
Robinet, MacDonald hit a single to `score
Mitctielmore.
The score remained 1-0 until the top of the
fifth when Walkerton took a 2-1 lead. Davis
hit a double into the hole in left -centre
scoring both runners on first, and second.
Clinton wasted no time in battling back in
their half of the inning on a pair of walks and
singles by Ian Peck and Mitchelmore.
The Colts then took a two -run lead into the
seventh without the aid of a hit.
Walkerton created their own problems by
walking four Colts and committing an error.
After Clinton made it 5-2 in the eighth,
Walkerton came alive with.two runs of their
own but it was too little, too late. The Colts
hung on for the victory.
