Local baseball teams excel! Pleasant Grove's youth baseball J and fastpitch softball teams were i amazing this week with their wins in their state and regional tour-- , naments. "It's a reflextion on the volunteer i efforts pf the coaches and the caliber,. ,. of the youth in Pleasant Grove. These wins have helped the youth in their personal growth and self image. This has been a tremendous opportunity for them, and they are getting experience that they wouldn't have gotten in any other way. This is a reflection on both the league directors and the invaluable volunteer coaches and their dedication to these kids," said Bill Hoglund, superintendet of parks and recreation. What was it that Hoglund and the rest of the community is excited about? WeIlto start with, last week, " the girls on the 12 and under SPC Steelers fastpitch softball team took second in the state tournament. These girls went on to regionals this week in West Jordan, and took first in the tourney, assuring themselves of a berth in the National Tournament in Kansas City. Next, the all-st- Pony League team from Pleasant Grove went to Roosevelt to win the district tour-nament, then proceeded to take first place in the state tournament. The will be representing Utah at the regional tournament in Idaho this week. . The young men have soundly beat" every opponent they have played, and hope to continue to play well. The Rocky Mountain Rebels, a 15 and under girl's fastpitch softball team, represented the community well in the State Tournament in Kaysville. The girls won all of their games until they met a Salt Lake team called the Renegades. The loss dropped the team into the losers' bracket, and forced them to play an extra game. They beat another Salt Lake team, and faced the Renegades in the Championship Game. The Rebels won the rematch 7 to 4, forcing the Renegades to an "if" game. The Renegades won that game, the Rebels walked away with second in the state, and a berth to the regionals this week in Sandy .Another team that held their own is the Flyers, an 18 and under girl's fastpitch softball team from P.G. The young team placed third in the state. That was the amazing ac-complishments of the teams from Pleasant Grove. They are in com-petition with teams from much larger communities, and continue to quietly keep winning. One observer at the State Tournament that the Rebels participated in commented that Pleasant Grove reminds them of the movie, "Hoosiers." "You people bring the whole community with you to cheer, don't you?" they said. Banjo Band concert j The Silver Strings Banjo Band will perform August 2 at 7:30 in the Downtown Park. They have been a favorite the past two years. Everyone is invited to attend. Sex atomise suspect ; booed over for trial I By MARC HADDOCK t Alan B. Hadfield, 35, of Lehi was I u"d over on charges of sodomy on ' j wild and child sexual abuse Monday following a preliminary eanng before Eighth Circuit Court He Lynn Davis. tj Judge Davis ordered Hadfield, J was released on his own "gmzance, to appear in Fourth wstnctCourtinProvoonAug.7. ,'! four-hou- r hearing featured "Stimony by five witnesses, in- - 7n? an boy and a d girl who testified they had particiPated in sexual acts x 1 ld' but with various other Jlu at homes in their Lehi M'gnborhood. eby and girl described several "CeS of sexual i ah,, sodmy and involving Hadfield in their 2lmny. The boy said he had Wjcipated with 13 other adults in wme kinds of acts at various ' tWo nu" hUSeS "ear hiS- - Where three adults and up to six en were involved at a time. iikii!-Fr-l testified to participating BTh "sessions. a toy testified that on at least oral HCaS'0ns Hadfie'd engaged in The a!1! 3nal intercourse with him. her T ,Said Hadfield had fondled had and her buttocks, and "gaged in oral intercourse with istant Utah Attorney General ;alsh carefully led the testimo rou8n tne graphic I acts any' as they related specific "wahif3 in the charees t0 Childr,.. ccurances in the ns ves - rather than to fixed dates. It was a tactic which drew criticism from Attorney Brad Rich, who is defending Hadfield. Rich argued for dismissal of the charges because the time of some of the alleged acts could not be pin-pointed "to even get down to a month in which these incidents occurred." Judge Davis did not accept the argument. Dr. Paul Whitehead, a Salt Lake psychiatrist specializing in child and adolescent psychology, testified that sessions with children had turned up "approximately 20 to 40 names" of adults involved in sexual activity with 15 to 20 children -- - and possibly more unidentified adults. Dr. Whitehead said he believed the children had been sexually abused on an average of two or three times a week for up to three or four years. Dr. Whitehead testified that as victims of chronic sexual abuse, the children would have a hard time pinning down dates of specific acts -- but they could relate those acts to memorable events. In cross-examinin- g Dr. Whitehead, Rich pointed out that children have been known to fabricate sexual histories. Whitehead countered that studies indicate that such fabrications happen in a small minority of the cases. He testified that both children suffer from major depressive disorders characteristic of children who have been sexually abused. Dr. William M. Palmer of the Primary Children's Medical Center, who had examined the children, said an examination with a colposcope, an instrument which magnifies small portions of the body for examination, indicated the children had been sexually abused - par-ticularly the boy. Hadfield's case is the first to result from more than a year of in-vestigation by the Utah Attorney General into charges of large-scal- e sexual abuse of children in Lehi -- abuse hinted at by the children's testimony. Other charges may follow, Parrish has stated, but to date only Hadfield has been legally charged in the case. At Hadfield's preliminary hearing, nine counts were reduced to seven after the prosecution and defense agreed to consolidate three counts of sodomy on a child into one. Notably absent from Monday's hearing was Dr. Barbara Snow, a child therapist who first treated the children testifying Monday and other Lehi children reportedly in-volved in the sexual activities. Rich pointed out several times that Snow had held several sessions with the children before either child implicated Hadfield in any sexual activities, and implied that the therapist may have led the children into making the accusation. But in a preliminary hearing, like that held Monday, the state is only required to demonstrate there is sufficient evidence to justify a trial. In the trial itself, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime has occurred. f f I I I I I I I I 4 i 4 ' ; ! M j ' l J AC i ' .

Plans made for park Because of continued concern with the future of Anderson Park in Pleasant Grove, the City Council formed a citizen's committee to search out both some short and long-ter-solutions to the park's im-provement. The citizen's committee, along with Park and Recreation Superintendent Bill Hoglund and Park Foreman Deon Giles, came back to the council and gave a presentation as to t their con-clusions as to improve the park. In the presentation, landscape architects Day Christensen and Richard Huish explained to the council that the park could remain a rustic park, that would not only continue to well-serv- e the scounting groups in the area, but would also provide a beautiful, natural setting for families in the area to enjoy. The architects displayed a large conceptual site plan so that the council could see what could eventually be done to the park so that it would maintain its rustic setting, and yet would not be as overgrown and primitive as it now is. The council responded favorably to the idea that the most pressing short-ter- need for the park is to carefully remove some of the un-dergrowth that now makes it dif-ficult to enjoy the park. Hoglund set that as the committee met with the architects, that they considered sanitation and ditch considerations, liability, parking and the legalities of possibily closing off the northern access into the park. Hoglund said that they took into See Park page 3 |
