Over the objections of neighborhood residents, the City Planning Commission it conThursday approved a dominium project on 3100 South. Planners cited Flyco Enterprises solid reputation within the 212-un- building industry in approving the companys plan for a planned unit development on 18.2 acres at 4500 W. 3100 South. Assistant board chairman Budd Rich rejected a recommendation by an opposition spokesman who urged the property be downzoned to (single family homes on 6,000 square foot lots), noting that the density of the PUD project was only slightly more than an R-l-- 6 R-l-- 6 would allow. He said downzoning would be unjust to the property owner and that 6 would attract a lower group of residents. Ralph Sartori, 3261 So. 4500 West, R-l-- a spokesman for area residents, had asked that the property be downzoned because of the large number of high density housing I projects which had been approved north of 3100 South in recent years. We presupposed at the beginning of West Valley City that the Planning Commission would keep in mind the impact of multiple family dwellings on residential areas, Sartori said. We, as a citizenry, have a real concern that you dont have our best interests in mind, he added, noting the impact of high density housing projects on schools, street systems and safety.

Motel-Trail- by Jim Cornwell iron sport for whom we have the greatest empathy are high school coaches. To a lesser degree, the coach on the college level. But the man who guides prep players has so demanding a role that he always merits a sympathetic thought from us. Even when hes winning. When hes losing, the sympathy is even more profound. Why these understanding words for a guy who elects to be the coach of a group of growing young then interested in kicking an oval pigskin around a rectangular-shape- d field? Let us count the reasons . . . For one thing, a coach has to be a perpetual optimist. He must know how to get his players up even if hes down. Like the lyrics from the song, There's no business like show business. Remember, they relate Theres no people like show people -- - they laugh when they are low? And a coach has to be a gambler on a par with those dandies who travelled the Mississippi River steamboats. When he tells his quarterback to pull a double reverse lateral with the halfback pass when its 4th and 7 on his own 25, he has to have a gut feeling its gonna work. Even so, he has his fingers crossed and a prayer on his lips. A coach has to learn to like cold mashed potatoes. He gets to eat a lot of em at athletic banquets. And when he gets home from practice at 8:30 and finds his wife has tucked the kids into bed and left the cold mashed potatoes on the stove. A coach has to learn to take criticism. Much of which isnt constructive. He must listen graciously when an irritated father explains why his son ought to be starting instead of warming the bench. He must swallow his tongue when some mouthy fan in the stands behind him is shouting loudly, questioning both his ancestry and his intelligence. He has to resist an impluse to write a letter to the sports writer whos just revealed the reason why the team lost Fridays game poor coaching. - Coaches rarely get much credit for what the team does. If it wins, its because theyre a great bunch of players with vast talent. If it loses, its because theyre a great bunch of players saddled with a dunderhead of a coach who probably doesnt even know how many players are on a team. A coach has to have a sense of humor because so many funny things happen on the field. As Bob Zuppke, the immortal Illinois coach once said, A football has a funny shape and takes some funny bounces. Sometimes, we know from observation, coaches laugh to keep (I from crying. Thats because non body wants to see a man break down and bawl on the sidelines. Coaches have to be psychologists. They must know how to get the best performance out of every player. And not all players react to the same stimulation. Some tear into the opposition when theyre approached in quiet tones. Others require some shouting - even a word or two of profanity. And others, no matter how full-grow- much psychology the coach practices, never do put out everything theyve got. Usually those are the kids whod be an absolute menace to the opposition if they got it all together and played up to their capability. Theyre offset by the kids who give it everything theyve but unfortunately their got natural ability is almost - Coaches have to combine the talents of a physician and a statistician so they can patch up the injured and calculate the odds on the next play working. They must be walking computers who know the assignment of every player on every play. They have to be equipment managers and after-dinne- r speakers. And they must have a cast-iro- n stomach so they dont develop an ulcer or can gulp Maalox by the quart if they do. Though they must be hard taskmasters to succeed, they have to have the wisdom of Solomon to settle personality disputes that could utterly splinter a team. And when the seasons over, they have to take whatever praise comes their way with a dignified nod, then shower it liberally over the taking care not to overlook or offend. Out hats off to coaches. They oughta have a genuine, grade-hero medal. squad-member- |
