Show Sun Advocate Price, Utah Thursday May 9, 2002 7A Gardner Field receives much needed repairs By RICHARD SHAW Sports writer Jewkes and Cisneros said that the money would take care ofthe restoration of much of the bleacher area, but inrpred about a grant that was pending concerning badly needed improved rest room facilities at the park. We didnt get it this time, said Helper City Councilman Kirk Mascara There was about $12 milium in the fund we applied to and they had $6 million in applications for the money. Our application didnt meet the criteria at this time, but we are going to keep applying and look at other avenues as well Jewkes brought up the fact that they were also applying for a historical grant to possibly redo the third base side of the field. One of the concerns that emerged at the meeting was the unauthorized use of the field, particularly for activities that' destroy the integrity of tire ball . ' With the American Legion Mseball season fast approaching, Jardner Field in Helper is quickly getting a new look. : With the $31,000 the Carbon jaunty Commission approved af-the Restaurant Tx Board er acceptance of the ielper City proposal for the noney, the field, which has seen lecades of fine play contested cm t, is getting a face lift in the teacher area. As of the end of last week the teacher seats had been removed d front of the announcers box and tthmteeis and Helper City crews tore getting ready to start install-n- g the new seating. WejustwanttodiankHelper or its assistance in getting this all lone," said Jeff Cisneros at the Council meeting laa HrGty 1 paik Officials of the dty also pub-id- y thanked Cisneros and Jeff tevkes, who both have labored ong and hard on restoring this ield in the last few years, for the ipe work they have done and their ledicatkm in going after money to improve the field. We juk want to thank these ybung men in return for their Work on this field, said Mayor Joe Bonacri. This money is Helper Citys and everything we spend has to go through the city coffers, but Weve spent $50,000 renovating this field and when some of these thing destroy what we have done, its tough to see, said Cisneros. We dont mind ifthe field is used for what it is intended for (baseball) or is used in a responsible manner for other sports, but unsupervised use usually results in problems. Jewkes and Cisneros both brought up concerns about un- ; supervised softball, where people move the bases and individuals riding bikes on the field. AU we ask is that people are and accountable for these' young men deserve the . credit &r getting the money for die city." - what they do, says Cisneros. The mayor suggested that the field be set up on a reserved use only and that anyone who want to use it must contact the city first. In direct relation to the American Legion team that plays on the field each year, the men also had a another request that they asked the courted to consider. One of our biggest problems during the season is travel, said CSsneros. We play in conjunction with the Salt Lake Vhlley League and most ofour away games are in the Salt Lake vicinity. We generally have to go up there about eight times during the regular season to play. We pay the players to drive themselves, so we are spending about $8000 a year cm travel It is very expensive. CSsneros told the council that he had found a used bus that Smith Transit has for sale and the company would sell it to the team for $2000. We were wondering if there was any way you could help us with this arid possibly work the insurance through the city as well? he asked tire council. '!
