Unwarranted To Members of the Silver Kinks Team: We, the Women's Softball Commission, feel that your letter was unwarranted and unjustified. First we would like to point out some league rules that have existed from the beginning begin-ning of the league, three summers ago. Also, this rule list was passed out to a representative of each team at the first meeting of this season. Quote from rule No. 11: "The game will be over when which ever comes first: fir-st: 7 innings or 1' 2 hours. (Exception 15 pt. spread after 5 innings). Every team in every game has always finished their game following under the circumstances circum-stances of the above rule. Including In-cluding the game played Monday night, July 9th, Silver Kinks vs. Corner Store. The game was called under the 14 hour ruling. If a game is started late, the 14 time limit is still counted from the moment the game begins. The reasoning behind this ruling being that with 16 men's softball teams, 8 women's softball teams, 1 . rugby, 1 men's soccer and 1 women's soccer teams, sharing one field, time limits in scheduling are completely necessary. Quote from Rule No. 1: "When a mandatory meeting is called for by the commission, it is mandatory! man-datory! At least one member per team should be in attendance!!" atten-dance!!" Missing out on a mandatory man-datory meeting is an infringement in-fringement upon league rules and most important, valuable information is not relayed back to team members. mem-bers. The Silver Kinks team has not been represented at 50 percent of the commission meetings. This is a problem that exists within the Silver Kinks team, not within the commission members. Many of the accusations show ignorance from not attending at-tending meetings. As far as umpires are concerned, con-cerned, everybody realizes that no matter what the ability of an umpire, he will always be criticized. In the past we have had many excellent ex-cellent umpires that now refuse to call games because of harassment. The past three summers we have noticed that those who complain com-plain most are often not familiar with the rules themselves. It all equals out. We are sure you the Silver Kink Team are not the first or the last (hat have received a few bad calls.- We are grateful that these men put out the effort and the time that they do to contribute to the success of the league. The women commissioners com-missioners organize and run the" league entirely on a volunteer basis. A lot of time, effort and preparation go into the formation of the Women's League. At the moment, there are only 3 full-time commissioners. At the beginning of the season we asked for more help no one volunteered. We still need help and invite new members to serve as a commissioner but please keep in mind the amount of time and responsibility involved. in-volved. We on the commission do not wish to create any ill . feelings within the League. This is why we have held meetings since April to work as a unit. We are always open for suggestions. If your team is truly unhappy with the league and commission then all we can suggest is perhaps there are leagues elsewhere that may fulfill your expectations. Sincerely, The Women's Softball Commission Com-mission Gratitude Editor: The Park City Recreation Department would like to extend our gratitude and appreciation to Mat and Helen Alvarez for the equipment equip-ment recently donated. Your continued cooperation, time and energy has contributed to the success of many of our activities and programs. .. Sincerely, The Recreation Dept. and people of Park City Pleased At Hospital Bill Defeat The Executive Vice ' President of the Utah Hospital Association, Rick Kinnersley, said he is pleased with the Senate Finance Committee defeat of the Carter Administration's Ad-ministration's Hospital Cost Containment Bill. "The measure was misdirected, discriminatory and frankly peddled falsely as an answer to rising health care costs," said Kinnersley. "In fact the President, himself, continues con-tinues to insist that it is the heart of his inflation fighting package while the cost of nearly everything else in the Consumer Price Index continues con-tinues to rise at a rate faster than hospital care." Concern Over Local Streams Continued From Page 1 He noted that the draining can eliminate necessary spawning areas for trout and decrease the trout population. Mueller, who has a degree ir biology and has conducted f jsh tsearch, . remarked,2 ''I thfnk the Planning . Commission should study closely to see how valuable that stream (near Quarry Hills) is... once the backhoe goes in, the effects are irreversible." "Personally, I would like to see a 100-yard greenbelt around the stream," he added. Mueller said the 100-yard buffer is suggested by various conservationists. conservation-ists. "People buying and selling property are unaware of the effects," he commented. "Everything done in town affects the entire w?t,,rshed." Mueller noted that the elimination of marsh lands increases stream flows, which in turn causes erosion. Commissioner Roy Reynolds said the planners should consult state wildlife officials as to what type of environmental environ-mental controls would ensure the health of the stream, even during ; construction. Also reviewed during the July 11 discussion were: The Victoria Villa, a fourplex . planned for three lots at 537 Woodside Ave. Questions arose as to compliance with the city's height restrictions. -Phillip Falk's fourplex at 1159 Empire Ave. More information and a height elevation were requested. Phase 5 of the Sweetwater Lift Lodge at 1255 Empire Ave. The 32,811-square-foot site would hold an 18,000-square-foot building containing 32 units. The commission raised questions concerning parking ar- rangements with the resort. ' s Sunr idge Townhouses, proposed for the north side of the entrance to Deer Valley. Proponents of the 40-unit planned unit development, to sit on 23.7 acres, are asking for setback variances. The commission generally expressed approval for the setback Changes. ' Five "old business" items on the agenda were postponed until last , night due to the lateness of the meeting.
