"My concerns are not so much about moving the backstop, but we have an ongoing battle with the board of education. Why can't the board help with these costs?" asked Ward 2 Councillor Ken Carruthers. "After all, it is their baseball diamond." "You might tell that to your trustee," said com- mittee chair Karen Puckrin. Councillor Carruthers quickly replied: "I do all the time, but it doesn't do any good." And Ward 4 Councillor Joyce Kelly -- a former trustee for the area -- said the school "should be going after the board of education for the rest of the money." The criticism of the board's lack of support for the project did not interfere with committee members agreeing to pay $415 -- half the estimated cost -- of moving the ball diamond backstop. At stake is the installa- tion of a $27,000 piece of playground equipment that will be the only wheelchair accessible facil- ity of its kind in North Durham, according to a letter from Martha Larsen of the Cawker SCC. Ms Larsen's letter said the the school council did not budget for the "hidden cost" of moving the back- stop to allow for the best possible location of the new playground equipment. "We should not be pun- ishing the (school) council by holding this up," said Councillor Puckrin. "The SCC is very excited about the fundraising now com- pleted. They have been working several years to raise this money." The committee will ask parks and rec foreman Steve Bull to take a look at moving the backstop, which will mean a realign- ment of the entire dia- mond. Committee members are concerned that realign- ing the diamond might not sit well with Minor Softball, especially if play- ers in the field are facing the sun for evening games. "We have to be con- cerned about creating any kind of liability (for players' safety)," said councillor Puckrin. In her letter to the parks and rec committee, Ms Larsen said the new play- ground equipment was selected after "much research and comparative shopping." e site the school coun- cil has selected for the new equipment is the best in , terms of accessibility and supervision, she said.
