By Jerry Ortiz Director of Orem Recreation The Orem Recreation Depart-, Depart-, ment Outdoor Division receives many questions about youth sports. Parents voice valid concerns about management, manage-ment, fair playing time, competitive sports, rules, fitness, coaching, etc. This parent involvement is good and allows the Recreation Department to have a two-way communication with concerned citizens. Dr. Jack Hutslar, Amateur Softball Soft-ball Association in Oklahoma, expresses ex-presses his opinions on the below commonly com-monly asked questions: Tired of the same old rat race? Let Universe!

Those who have seen negative results from this parent-child relationship rela-tionship appear most concerned about the appropriateness of this situation. There is no reason why parents should be prohibited from coaching their children in sports. The same holds true for music, art, woodworking woodwork-ing in the shop, or the family business. Parents teaching children has been the way of life since time began. Problems arise when parents treat their children differently from the other children, most likely. This may range from treating their children harshly to showing favoritism, to the displeasure of other players and their parents. Some parents may just expect too much from their own children in comparison com-parison to the other players. As a rule, parents should treat their own children just as they would treat the other children. Give all players the same attention, the same playing time, the same instructional tips, and the same pats on the back for their efforts. QUESTION: In team sports for kids, which is more important, the coaches' concerns for teamwork or the parents' concern for the individual in-dividual playing time of their children? ANSWER: This is the age-old group or individual question. I would have to say that the child comes first and the team seccond. Therefore, I would put the concern of the parents for the playing time of their children before the teamwork that the coach is trying to develop. Allow me to qualify this. In elite and select team sports, it is common to manipulate the players, stress teamwork, and put certain players on the bench for the good of the team and winning. Players who know they are selected to sit on the bench and be there in case they are needed, are prepared to sit. If children sign up for a program and then sit on the bench, they are quite likely to quit when they do not get to play. This is natural. Parents and youngsters should find out, prior to the season, whether winning or getting get-ting to play is most important to the coach and the league. Then, they can decide if they want to sit, watch, and show good team spirit, or play without regard to winning and learn the importance im-portance of teamwork. Which would you rather do, sit and watch or play and learn? The Orem Recreation Department Depart-ment encourages citizen input.

Wildlife Seed Mix Available The division of Wildlife Resources Resour-ces has' long encouraged and promoted backyard landscaping as a way for concerned homeowners to create wildlife habitat in urban areas. Until recently, about the only way to do that was to go to a nursery and buy shrubs and bushes known to attract and benefit wildlife. Lists of such plants were (and still are) available from the Division of Wildlife Resources, from Utah State University and from a few local nurseries. nur-series. Now, an Idaho company has, developed a food and cover seed mixture mix-ture specifically for the western in-termountain in-termountain area to benefit several species of game birds, songbirds and doves, fcold by Wildlife Systems Ltd. of Blackfoot, Idaho, the mixture contains con-tains seeds from dwarf milo, oats, red and white millet, sunflowers, sweet corn, field peas, wheat, barley and wild amaranthus (pigweed). Kent Christopher, president of Wildlife Systems, says the mixture was tested last year and produced good results. Bob Walters, a nongame biologist for the DWR, says he'll plant a smalll plot of the wildlife seed in back of the Salt Lake office to see how well it does in Utah. He's also ordered some of the mixture for resale to the public at cost. "We should have the seed by mid-April," says Walters. "It will be available in half-pound bags for 65; that's about enough to plant an area of20x20feet." For more information about the wildlife seed mixture and other aspects of urban wildlife habitat, call Walters in Salt Lake City at 530-1287 or stop by the DWR office at 1596 West NorthTemple.
