with a 4-0 record.

the Reds, scattering five

tha losing pitcher.
David Ray Robinson
continued hla torrid hitting

cluding a two-run homer.
Brooks led Gastonia with 3-
, tor-g.
on the Job,” he said. “I can
see some Improvements In
existing programs and the
addition of others in our
future.”
Nappi has already
Initiated a summer tennis
tnatructlonal program, a
first for this city. Kenny
Boheler, a Duke Univer
sity student imd former
Kings Mountain High
tennis player, has been
hired to head that
program.
“We have some beautiful
new tennis courts,” he
aald, “Tennis can be a
lifetime sport. It’s Inex
pensive to get equipped to
play, and you get a lot of
enjoyment out of It. We
have tournaments plsinned
In June, July and August,
and will be cooperating
with Ed Guy (KMHS tennis
coach) with hla annual city
tournament In August.
“Personally,” added
^appl, “I'd like to see a 85-
and-over dlvlalon added to
the city tournament If
there la the need. I look for
good things to come out of
that program. The trend
across the nation now Is
that you csin’t put up tennis
courts fast enough.”
“I think handball and
mcquetball need to be
looked at also,” he con
tinued. "Like tennla, it’s an
Inexpensive sport. Court
expense is the main factor.
I would also like to see
competitive swlmmlng.I
doubt that will come about
thla summer, but It’s good,
healthy competition.
’"niere are many areas
for improvement,” he
went on. "We need gym
nastics more heavily In the
aummer and I would like to
see an arts and crafts
program Initiated. Of
course, all this takes
money. As the department
•tarts to bring In revenue,
we will have more
flexibility to advance
prograna Ideas.”
Nappi feels when current
renovations are completed
the local community
center and playing
tocUltles will be secwid to
none. A new little lesigue
complex Is nearing
completion and Nappi feels
games will be played on
those new fields before the
end of the year.
“The engineering
department and recreation
committee did an excellent
Job planning that facility,”
•aid Nappi. ”It waa begun
before I came here and I
underatand It’a been a long
procesa but I know
everyone la going to be
proud of It.”
The new complex In
cludes two little league
fields with fences of IBS
and ISO feet, complete with
dugouts, emergency gates
and the most modem light
fixtures. Nappi hopes a
“green monster” dividing
wall will be included
between the two outfield
fences to prevent
distractions from one field
to the other.
Nappi expects the
recreation department to
become more Involved In
the administration end of
the major sports, such as
baseball, baaketballand
football.
“In the past the parks
and recreation department
hasn’t had any respon
sibility to those programs
other than providing the
playing facilities,” Nappi
noted. “I’d like to see the
department become more
Involved In the actual
league activities and
planning league rules and
regulations along with ths
board of directors to
coincide with the ad
ministration plans
established by the city. I
see a lot of Improvement in
these programs.”
Hie key to a successful
recreation program, Nappi
fsels, Is 100 percent
dedication on the part of
the supervisor, staff, city
administration and the
community. Nappi had
that same attitude when he
was a standout Inflelder at
Msinatee Junior College In
