Show Pleasant Grove Review New Utah - Thursday, March 13, 2003 - Page 12 Arts Coach From Front Page : j the arts council will be dis- j ! banded until he appoints a j i new chair at the beginning t I of the fiscal year in July. "I'm not going to make a snap decision on this," Dan-klef Dan-klef said. The mayor said the arts council organization organiza-tion itself may be revamped. Though he plans on working behind the scenes now to choose a chair and make necessary changes to the organization, organiza-tion, art council meetings are canceled until further notice. "We're not going to have the board tell us who's going to be chair and co-chair," co-chair," Danklef said. Danklef said he is not surprised the executive committee members resigned after the way they were "beat-up" at the last meeting. "After being ridiculed and berated like that they're not going back," he said. "It is supposed to be a fun organization and if it's not fun, they don't want to do it." ; Deon Giles, with the city recreation department, said all events already planned by the arts council will go on as planned. "Nothing will be affected and all will continue to go on as planned," Giles said. "Most events are run by committee members and they are pretty well organized." organ-ized." The major source of council coun-cil contention appeared to be a change to the council bylaws. Some of the accusations accusa-tions addressed nepotism and political maneuvering. "It was a long process," Merrill said about the bylaws being changed. "Only a few words, a few clauses, were redefined. It had to make clear what made up the executive committee." com-mittee." Some committee members mem-bers were unhappy with the amount of input they had on final decisions made by the arts council board. At the Feb. 26 meeting, Marcella Walker, city recorder and recently appointed vice-chair, compared com-pared the executive organization organi-zation to a ward correlation meeting. It was her intent, she said, when she first organized the Arts Council. In such a correlation though all parties give input, the final decision rests with the highest rank-' rank-' ing officer. Arts Council board member mem-ber Judy Noziska felt the bylaws were changed illegally ille-gally without a vote of the council. The city council approved the new bylaws on March 5. The Arts Council had not yet voted on the bylaw changes and . with suspension of meetings will not be able to. "A lot of things have been changed without our knowledge," knowl-edge," Noziska said. "I think we should have a voice ... we want to have a voice." Merrill said she presented present-ed the proposed bylaws at the Arts Council meeting but because there weren't enough members there to form the needed quorum, a vote was postponed. "That is totally untrue, it was not discussed. I was there at the Feb. 26 meeting," meet-ing," Noziska said. "She handed out the newly revised bylaws Feb. 26 with nothing to compare it to, that is what she handed us." Noziska also said there were seven members there on Feb. 26 and there was no discussion except on the issue of the executive committee com-mittee at that time. Merrill said she wrote down on the proposal she gave to city council that board members didn't like the executive committee part, a committee that consisted con-sisted of a secretary, chair, vice-chair and past chair. Each officer would serve a term and move on to the next office, so eventually the secretary, with years of experience behind her would become chair. When the proposed bylaws were presented to the Pleasant Grove City Council March 5, the council members mem-bers approved the bylaws leaving in the executive committee com-mittee section as it stood. Merrill said the Arts Council is a board to get together to coordinate, publicize pub-licize and make the arts happen in Pleasant Grove, not to establish policy and get involved in politics. "When I joined the council coun-cil it was fun, when I was asked to be chair it was fun," Merrill said. "Last week was not fun." McAllister that the boys basketball program needed direction. The coach quickly outlined a training program, pro-gram, and was very pleased with what he saw. "Their work ethic was better than any team I had coached before," said McAllister. McAl-lister. When the basketball season sea-son started, there weren't a lot of expectations for the boys varsity program at Pleasant Grove. To start the year, the team was ranked ninth in the valley for 4A schools. McAllister and his team quickly turned things around by beginning the year with a win over Box Elder, which team ended the year as the 4A state runner-up, and with additional addi-tional wins over North Sanpete San-pete and Payson. "Building confidence in the preseason was my goal," said the coach. Despite the great start to the season, the number of students and fans that attended the games was noticeably low. However, throughout the year, the team also claimed wins over Clearfield, Spanish Fork, Mountain View, Orem, and Lone Peak. Slowly, the stands started start-ed to fill again until the final game of the regular season where Pleasant Grove played a rematch with Lone Peak for a second place finish in Region 7. The rematch was played in Orem on a neutral court. Late in the fourth quarter with Pleasant Grove up by only one point, Todd Thur-good Thur-good threw the ball in to Chad Evans from mid-court. Thurgood burned his man and streaked down the sidelines where Evans, who had a 17 point night himself, him-self, quickly fed Thurgood the ball with the Lone Peak defender in hot pursuit. Stretching for the basket, Thurgood laid it in, and at the same time took a foul which landed him against the bleachers. He then sank the freethrow, and the momentum, along with screaming fans, carried the team to a second place vie- School From Front Page "We were definitely surprised sur-prised to see the city approve it, considering the issues that are there," Keil said. "We don't have anything against the school itself. We just don't think it's a proper place for it." Victor Orvis, a resident with property adjacent to the proposed school lot, has talked about joining the Eagles in legal action against the plan. Despite the concerns of the neighbors neigh-bors to the property, the school board feels the location loca-tion is a perfect fit. "We see it as a showcase place. It is central to our populace. It's affordable and it puts the money back into the education," said John Hancock School Board member Mike Daniels. Because the children will be inside most of the day, Daniels said board members mem-bers don't feel that the influence of the Eagles or the noise and dust from the industry will be an issue. Hancock officials have OK'd the school's proposed location with the Attorney General's Office and the State Board of Education. They only need the go-ahead go-ahead from the health department before they can start building. ' '''' C. Stephen King Have You Filed Your Tax Return Yet? Let us help. Matthew O.

During the season, McAllister McAl-lister didn't just teach his team fundamentals and shooting skills, he also taught them how to win. "He makes it fun to play, but he is also serious about how we play," said Chris Hall, a junior guard. "He s a great coach. He taught us how to believe in ourselves," added Thurgood. Although the team played well this past season, sea-son, McAllister is careful to emphasize that in his opinion, opin-ion, ability isn't the most important quality. He teaches his players the three A's, where academics comes first, attitude second, and ability comes third. All together, he said, these three traits not only build a great team, but also prepare players for life beyond basketball, which to the coach, is as important as the season itself. "My whole philosophy is wrapped around these three things." Given the success of this past season, and the character charac-ter he has been able to bring out in his players, it appears Coach McAllister has truly found his place.
