events this is not news but it's small commentary that is only an opinion while locals would argue if a baseball field at pioneer park should be named after utah phillips is absurd we will hope that spokane washington would jump at the chance to put something in utah phillips name in their area because he spent a lot of time there too his life was spent on seeking a better life for the common working man and to help the downtrodden regain their pride respect and livelihood through his stories songs and poetry with sadness and laughter he could bring everyone in a room to a common ground of understanding humanity's goodness if we just tried a little harder in sports baseball is america's dream and can make you stand up and cheer  always spoke from the heart and he could also make you stand up and cheer what better tribute than to name a baseball park after such a hero in our midst a minute bange come on city council get some backbone or put it to avoid with people not just five people but put it to a vote for the entire county utah would like to have a vote from the common people if not we might just all come over and sit down in the middle of broad street for a few days to discuss the matter with the city officials the union article stated the utah i would not want dissent on this issue but isn't that how you go about a way to change something that is not right you stand up and you speak your mind and try to persuade the majority that your way is right seems that in politics politically correct seems to be you don't commit to things you just kind of hover in the middle of yes or no the city should call the park maybe we will name you some day baseball park so that we can all pounder about a name from some future date next to mark twain utah phillips was the biggest blessing and legend that ever graced the city streets of this county and  an art and music is spread was one thing that makes this area so special changing the name of the park is just one small token of respect for a legend that lived among us and so let's hope that some stand of citizens will eventually do the right thing and even some more like changing the name of commercial street to utah phillips road something that has a little more zing it doesn't sound so commercial and that's a sp concert on saturday june twenty first seven pm and seven sound studios at one three one four nine ridge road grass valley for more information call for some seven seven to eight thanks for watching
