The 2008/2009 capital and operating bud- gets, the latter totalling more than $588 mil- lion, were approved by the Durham District School Board’s finance committee at its May 26 meeting. Public submissions are scheduled for June 3 at 6 p.m. in the Education Centre at Taunton Road and Anderson Street in Whitby, fol- lowed by a June 10 meeting to consider and recommend the budget for approval. “The draft 2008/2009 operating and capi- tal budget meets all of these requirements,” said Ed Hodgins, the board’s superintendent of business, after listing compliance neces- sities. Of the $98.7 million capital budget, more than $42 million is slated for building the new unnamed Tormina and Olde Win- chester schools in Brooklin, and the Hamlet and Meadows schools in Ajax. It’s also for anticipated cost increases to the Pickering High School and new north Os- hawa secondary school projects underway. As well, the board plans to buy a site for the unnamed Castlefields school in Ajax with education development charges. More than $17 million supports Good Places to Learn projects such as major reno- vations. To meet the education ministry’s prima- ry class-size reduction (20 students to one teacher per class) the board is spending more than $36 million on school additions. The 30 portables added require $194,292 more than originally budgeted. “The budget also reflects $500,000 as a continuation of the board’s program to re- move or upgrade underground oil tanks,” said Mr. Hodgins. Eighty-two per cent of the operating bud- get is for compensation, he said. Grants for student needs, released by the ministry in April, don’t include any big changes, said Mr. Hodgins, while reading an overview of the budget to trustees. They now include money for new teacher induc- tion programs and safe schools, previously received through outside grants. “The grants do not provide general in- creases for non-compensation items, other than a small cost adjustment for classroom supplies and transportation and utilities,” he said. While no money for salary increases out- side the 2004-2008 framework between the Province and teachers has been provided, it is expected this summer, Mr. Hodgins said. The board has been operating under the compensation framework for the last four years, but it expires in August. Collective agreements for teachers come up in the fall, but there is still no new framework or money for extra increases. Benefit costs are also expected to rise. The draft budget includes increasing elementary teachers’ preparation time to 200 minutes.

The 23-year-old Whitby resident spent two months at the Ajax site recently, suf- fering from depression. During a press conference on Friday outside the Ajax hospital with Progressive Conservative leader John Tory and Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott, Ms. Grace said she’s the “face of mental illness.” Recovering from a mental illness requires the “support of family and friends,” Ms. Grace said, adding those people would now have to travel roughly 30 kilome- tres to Centenary Hospital in Scarborough. “A key el- ement is no longer there. They’ll feel isolated and de- tached.” Getting to Centenary on public transit “will be dif- ficult at best,” she said. The Rouge Valley Health System is closing the 20 in- patient mental health beds at the Ajax-Pickering hos- pital and moving them to Centenary. Rouge Valley has a debt of $78 million and moving the beds would save $600,000 over a three-year period. “That’s less than one per cent of debt over three years and it will affect the com- munity,” Ms. Grace said. There are 37 employees at Rouge Valley who made $150,000 or more last year. If those people took “a very small salary cut, they’d save more than doing this. There’s excess fat at the top,” Ms. Grace said. Just a few months ago, the hospital announced it would increase the number of mental health beds at Ajax by nine, said Mr. Tory. The savings “are a mi- rage at best,” he said, not- ing Durham Regional Police will have to transport pa- tients to Scarborough and a shuttle-bus service Rouge Valley has spoken of will “cost more not less. “Why would they an- nounce in one breath the beds are needed and in the next breath shift the beds,” Mr. Tory said. “Was it an election off- ing used to rent votes. Mr. McGuinty and (Health Min- ister George) Smitherman should be ashamed.” “It’s inconceivable some- one in Clarington will go to Scarborough for men- tal health services. Either they’ll go to Lakeridge or they won’t get service at all,” Ms. Elliott said. “People should be able to receive mental health services in their own community.” Dr. Aiyathurai Gnaneswaran, a psychia- trist at Ajax, said moving the beds would cause “hard- ship to the residents of Dur- ham.” When asked how he would solve the situation, Mr. Tory said, “I would take some of the money they promised and put it into the health system. “Don’t solve the financial problems on the backs of the most vulnerable peo- ple.” Save time,save money.

The vaccine protects women from four types of the Human Pap- illomavirus (HPV), two of which are responsible for 70 per cent of cervical cancer cases. Health Canada approved the use of the vaccine for females between nine- and-26 years old. In Ontario, the government in- troduced a voluntary vaccination program for Grade 8 girls in Sep- tember and allocated funds for an 85 per cent uptake rate. However, the actual rate for the first dose of the vaccine has been 53 per cent. As a result, the Grey Bruce Health Unit is calling on the government to use the remaining money to vaccinate other high-risk popula- tions. Though not defined in its motion, it could include female youth in the care of a children’s aid society, in the custody of a detention facility, in transitional housing, those residing in shelters during their qualification time and those whose parents wouldn’t let them get the vaccine, Durham regional councillors endorsed the Grey Bruce motion on Wednesday. “Currently if someone is not a Grade 8 female, they have to go to the doctor or a health-care pro- vider to request the vaccine and there’s a charge for it,” said Dr. Robert Kyle, Durham’s medical of- ficer of health. It costs $135 per dose and three doses are required within six to 12 months, bringing the total cost to more than $400. The Grey Bruce Health Unit said that makes it cost- prohibitive to high-risk female youth. Locally, roughly 2,400 Grade 8 girls in Durham have received the first two doses, which translates into a 59-per-cent uptake rate. Dr. Kyle attributes the rate to people just learning about the program and the links between HPV and cervical cancer and said it was implemented over a fairly short time period. The majority of the girls in Durham are vaccinat- ed through school-based clinics. Consent forms are sent home and Ms. Gare said the majority of the students who receive the vaccine have parental consent. However, if they don’t, they can still get it. “A client may give their own consent to receive the vaccine in accordance with the Health Care Consent Act.” She also stressed that Grade 8 girls have to get at least the first dose by the end of June while they’re still in the grade, otherwise it’s no longer free. The Health De- partment is setting up clinics dur- ing the summer to complete the series. For more information or to schedule a vaccination, parents or Grade 8 girls can call the Durham Health Connection Line at 905- 666-6241 or 1-800-841-2729. 905-697-9992 www.kingswayarms.com IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR CHOICES65 Clarington Blvd. You Are Invited To Our Victorian Style Afternoon Tea at 1:30pm and Victorian Fashion Show at 2:30 pm.

Police say the investigation began in early May when a stu- dent driver said she had been touched inappropriately during driving practice. The incidents are alleged to have taken place inside the training car from August 2007 to April 2008. Further investiga- tion revealed three more teenaged female victims, said police. An instructor at Peter’s Academy of Defensive Driving in Pickering, Frank Bilar, 60, is charged with four counts each of sexual assault and sexual exploitation. Police contacted Mr. Bilar and he turned himself in at an Oshawa police station on May 29, where he was charged and arrested. Investigators said they want to ensure there are no other victims and are asking anyone with infor- mation about the investigation to contact Det. Const. Brian Vickers of the Sexual Assault/Child Abuse Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5343. Driving instructor charged with sexually assaulting students Region to use gas tax dollars to build $200-million facility By Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Regional councillors have voted to channel all of Durham’s federal gas tax money, through 2019, into building an incinerator in Claring- ton. After lengthy debate, councillors passed the project’s business case at Wednesday’s council meeting in a 17-8 vote. The business case outlines a gen- eral budget for the energy-from-waste facility, including nearly $200 million for the construction costs. Durham’s share would be $155 million. Of the $17 million in annual operating costs, the Region would pay $13 million. Instead of a lengthy loan to pay for the facility, the business case calls on the Region to pump all of its federal gas tax dollars into it from 2008 on, paying off the construction costs roughly six years after it opens in 2013. The Region is to receive $16.5 million per year, starting in 2010, and by then will have banked $48 million in gas tax money. Those who supported the case said it was a solid plan that would see the Region through an upcoming garbage crisis. “For most of us there are two ques- tions: is this safe and can we afford it? This business case says we can afford it,” Clarington Mayor Jim Abernethy said. The safety question would be an- swered in 2009 when a health assess- ment specific to the Hwy. 401 and Courtice Road site is completed, he said. The mayor came armed with a motion from Clarington council that said the municipality supported the business case and requested confirma- tion that the Region would continue to negotiate a host community agree- ment in good faith. Clarington’s two other Regional councillors also voted for the case. The business case includes almost $1 million per year in the operating budget for major repair and replace- ment costs, and $2 million in annual maintenance and repair. The Region’s financial analysts said the significant repairs and replace- ments over 25 years contributed to them assigning the plant an $80-mil- lion (in 2007 dollars) residual value in 2037. The analysts have maintained that’s a conservative estimate. However, Oshawa Councillor Brian Nicholson was among those who took issue with that assessment. “I don’t believe there’s any residual value to the building,” he said. “I be- lieve in 25 years it will be worthless to us.” Seven members of the public spoke out against the case, including Whitby resident Doug Anderson, who called the case a piece of self-serving fluff. “If Durham Region wants to be Ontario’s waste dinosaur, then hold your noses and accept this so-called business case, but I hope you don’t,” he said. Two motions, one to spend 50 per cent of the gas tax dollars on the plant and one to use 75 per cent, also failed. The former was proposed by Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. “If we dedicate 100 per cent of the gas tax to this project, I think it’s fair to say no one sitting in this chamber today will ever vote on a project that requires federal gas tax. We’re binding future councils in a very major way,” he said, adding that the money could be better spent in other areas, citing a region-wide cycling network as one example. Others countered that the money was well spent on waste since it affect- ed every resident, and said they trusted finance commissioner Jim Clapp’s ad- vice. Ajax Councillor Colleen Jordan pro- posed a change to the business case to include the costs of environmental and health monitoring and a review of best practices. Scugog Mayor Marilyn Pearce and others countered those costs would be covered under the contingency por- tion of the budget and the appropriate time to deal with the issue would be when the site-specific health assess- ment comes to council. The Region’s medical officer of health, Dr. Robert Kyle, said he expects a monitoring system to be a condition of the licence for the incinerator. Now that the business case is ap- proved, the Region can put out a re- quest for proposals from the five ven- dors pre-qualified to build the facility. The whole process is part of an ongo- ing EA and must be approved by the Province before work can begin. Find a location near you at lonestartexasgrill.com $%.4!,$%.4!, #%.42% #%.42% -"%2,%!

I would like to make everyone aware of a relief group that is having great suc- cess in Myanmar and has people on the ground in that country ensuring that the aid gets where it is needed. ShelterBox is a Rotary-based disaster relief initiative that provides shelter, heat, light and cooking capabilities to victims of disaster around the world. Many aid agencies provide food and water but without shelter many more will perish. Details of the ShelterBox pro- gram and their progress in Myanmar can be found at www.shelterbox.ca. Online donations are gladly accepted. If anyone has any questions, feel free to e-mail me at tanyaperry@shelterbox.ca. Tanya Perry Whitby I sometimes wonder that, rather than Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan or any of the other momentous religious occasions, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day aren’t the real biggies. Who in this life, after all, is a more semi- nal part of our collective happiness equa- tion than our parents? Whose is the first face we see? The first voice we hear? The first touch we feel? Many of us may spend the last half of our lives desperately trying to emulate Jesus, Mohammed or the Buddha. But whose shoes are we trying to fill for that first part? Mom or Dad, usually. Our parents, like it or not, are the gods of much of our lives. They have an enor- mous hand in shaping who and what we are, both physically and emotionally. And their choices to nurture us, feed us, stimu- late us, support us or not . . . can, and very often do, make the difference between a lifetime of joy or struggle. I recently read something about the dif- ference between “growing children” and “raising children.” Anybody can “grow” a child, the same way anyone can grow a hog or a horse or a cow. Feed it, water it, keep it clean and free of disease and it will grow to physi- cal maturity. You can do the same with a human, of course. Many do. We’ve all met lots of fully-grown, well-fed, immaculately clean, unhappy people. To “raise” a child, on the other hand is a very different process altogether. It involves far more than simply throwing money, groceries and laundry at the kid. We must throw ourselves into the bargain. We must put our hearts, minds and souls on full alert, 24/7. We must be ever watchful, ever mindful and ever caring about those people we created and to whom, therefore, we are eternally responsible. No easy task. And it never ends. My own mother and father bent over backwards to see that myself and my five siblings were well fed, warm, clean and healthy for all the days we lived under their roof and then some. I thank them for that. But what I love them for and what I remember best are not the meals, new shoes or trips to the doctor but the million other things that they did not out of duty, but out of love. I remember my mother never failing to kiss me good-night, even well into my teens, when entry into my bedroom meant donning some kind of respiratory aid. I remember butterscotch Laura Secord suckers, just because. I remember my father picking me up and tossing me what felt like miles high before gleefully landing in the surf of Wasaga beach. Forty odd years later, I remember him still holding me up, my arm around his shoulders, as we shuffled up and down a hospital corridor, my belly full of staples. When I call my folks, both now in their 80s, the conversation very often surrounds the weather, current events, their health. But inevitably and without fail it will come around to me, my brothers and my sister . . . their children. They are and always will be, our parents. We are all grown, but as long as they are alive, they will, in their way, still be raising us. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic- writer, saves some of his best lines for his col- umns. Father’s and Mother’s Day biggest days of the year Pickering, Ajax leaders in conserving power A jax and Pickering residents have their beefs with their respective councils, to be sure, but local councillors and staffs are to be com- mended for their leadership in energy conservation. When Energy Minister Gerry Phillips launched Energy Conservation Week on Monday, it was no coincidence that Pickering was his first stop. “You’ve been a leader in energy conservation for a long while and I’m pleased to be here,” said the Pickering Village resident. This well-earned reputation is why Pickering was one of 42 municipalities chosen to take part in the Audit ++ Pro- gram, where it will receive a free audit and the know-how to conserve power at the recreation complex. The timing is excellent, as what staff and councillors learn can be put to good use when an addition is added to the complex. The goal is to save as much electricity as possible, which in turn means less expenditures for the City, ultimately benefiting taxpayers, now and in the future. The large educational compo- nent of the exercise means the City can take what it learns from the rec complex audit and apply it to other City-owned buildings for further savings. I.B. Storey Professional Energy Solu- tions is performing the audit and presi- dent Ian B. Storey, in an interview, told the News Advertiser there could be a savings of approximately 10 to 20 per cent at the complex. The results are due in a month or so. Ajax, Ontario’s first ISO 9001 commu- nity, is also forward-thinking in these areas. Its new firehall at the southwest corner of Rossland and Salem roads will be a LEEDer in energy conservation. Lead- ership in Energy and Environmental Design initiatives at the building mean it will have a ‘green roof’, a ground source heat pump, underground cisterns to col- lect rain water and an energy-efficient lighting system. Yes, they mean the Town is spend- ing roughly $800,000 more to build the firehall. But, the benefits are there in the long run. Dave Meredith, acting director of operations and environmental services, recently told council’s general govern- ment committee that using LEED tech- niques will reduce the building’s operat- ing cost by as much as 65 per cent over the firehall on Monarch Avenue. This even though the latter is half its size. The building’s roof will be a garden of drought-resistant plants and last two or three times as long as a typical roof. Ajax and Pickering are walking the walk in terms of energy conservation. Neil Crone/ Enter Laughing Oticon Epoq: Life without boundaries. Hearing without limits! It’s your hearing.

Themed ‘Awareness to Action’, the event supports the implementation of the Ontario First Nation, Metis and Inuit Policy Frame- work. “The purpose of the sym- posium is to educate our teachers about a couple of things,” said Deanna Fry, the school board’s aborigi- nal education co-ordinator. The first is to improve on aboriginal student success. Several workshops at the symposium provided teachers with strategies and cultural background information so they can be comfortable including it in school work and aborigi- nal students can see them- selves reflected in their studies, Ms. Fry said. The second component is to increase awareness of First Nations history, cul- ture and perspectives for all students, she said. According to the Ontario First Nation, Metis, and Inuit Education Policy and Framework provided by the Ministry of Education, more than 42 per cent of the aboriginal population have less than a high school ed- ucation, compared to 29.5 per cent of non-aboriginal people. Native peoples also are the fastest growing youth sector in the province, said Ms. Fry, as 46 per cent of its population is under age 25. In teaching aboriginal students, there are some differences in how they learn, although you always need to look at the individ- ual person, said Ms. Fry. She said the culture is passed down orally and by engaging the whole per- son: heart, body, spirit and mind. In his workshop, Mr. Nelson, he spoke of the Seven Grandfather Teach- ings: love, respect, bravery, honesty, humility, and wis- dom. He said he wanted to share the teachings and “this way of life,” walking the red road drug and al- cohol free while teaching family and others about the good way. Mr. Nelson also showed his audience how to make a medicine pouch with a piece of red cloth, ribbon, sage, cedar, tobacco, and sweet grass. “You are more than wel- come to come here and make one for your family and take it home with you,” Mr. Nelson said. He was invited to the symposium by Michelle Evans, a teacher at J. Clarke Richardson Collegiate in Ajax and a member of his extended family. “I know he’s really com- mitted his life to helping all races,” Ms. Evans said. Aboriginal studies coming to Durham public schools DURHAM — Native stud- ies will be on the program list at some Durham public high schools this Septem- ber.

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 1, 2008 PAGE 9 A/Pdurhamregion.com CANADA’S LEADING PUBLICATION FOR TODAY’S FIFTY-PLUS LIFESTYLES ADVERTISING FEATURE BELLY BUSTERS A trim tummy is more than just esthetically pleasing, it can be a predictor of health and well being Martha has lost 80 pounds – her body looks slimmer, her cheekbones have reappeared and she’s sprouted a real chin for the first time in 20 years. A year ago, Martha started walking, then running, and the weight has fallen off. But, she confides, her belly just won’t go away. After three children, a roll of fat on her tummy and a tendency to add more around the midriff have her frustrated and resigned to a life of tummy tightening underwear. The reality is that weight loss doesn’t tighten and tone belly muscles and running doesn’t work them. You have to exercise those specific muscles in order to firm them up. And the good news is that crunches (which most of us hate anyway) don’t do that very well. But there may be another reason for a persistent tummy. Some people have belly problems due to bloating which can be caused by food sensitivities and inadequate digestion, says registered holistic nutritionist Andy Bourgeois. One would need to test for food sensitivity (wheat is a particularly common one), but she adds, “Poor bowel habits will give bulk and a belly. As we age, the muscles weaken so it’s important to take in plenty of water and fibre to keep the bowels moving.” She suggests eating foods like fresh papaya and pineapple which have enzymes that promote good digestion. And fresh ginger and cayenne are helpful. Getting rid of your belly is important for more than just esthetic reasons. Apple-shaped people, (those who carry weight around their waist) are more likely to be storing visceral fat. This is the fat surrounding the abdominal organs so it’s so hard to detect. A thin person can be just as prone to visceral fat, as this is often determined by diet and genetics. And such people can be at the same health risk as someone twice their weight. So mind your middle. If your waist is wider than your hips, you need to lose some of your belly weight. Women, your waist should not expand beyond 35 inches. Men’s upper limit is 40 inches. There are ways to keep your body at a healthy level. It’s almost as simple as energy in and energy out. Food energy is measured in calories. Take in more calories than you’re burning off and you store the rest as fat. So the aim is to cut a few calories and exercise more away. I’ve emphasized a few because if you cut calories too drastically, your body will go into starvation mode. That means it will slow down your basal metabolic rate and conserve energy. You might actually eat less and gain weight. The key is to trick your body into thinking that this is normal. So losing a pound or two a week is the aim. And the best way to do that, says Bourgeois, is to “eat smaller portions more often. You’ll end up consuming fewer calories.” And build in exercise. Even if you walk for 20 minutes four times a week, you have made a great start. Martha cut out a lot of the fat and white food: sugar, pasta, bread, potatoes. But she was smart enough to keep some fat in her diet. About 20-35 per cent of your daily calories should come from the good kind of fat — either mono- or poly-unsaturated; these can be found in salmon, avocados, olives and walnuts. For cooking, use olive, canola or sunflower oil. Cut down on carbohydrates but don’t deny yourself treats. If you feel deprived, you’re more likely to lapse and once you do, to tell yourself, “Oh well, I might as well finish this container of Häagen Dazs, I’ve slipped anyway.” Better to reward yourself; a small scoop of ice cream at the end of the week will taste all the better for being earned. Stress and lack of sleep both contribute to weight gain — yes I said gain not loss. It seems that both these work the way starvation does. Our bodies start to conserve energy and burn less. And stress often leads to snacking. After all, you tell yourself, you need energy because you’re so stressed out. If you’re stressed, try yoga. This wonderful exercise works the body while the breathing and meditative components can help calm the mind. Finally, work those belly muscles to tighten them up. Four years ago, 55-year-old Marilyn Latchford of Pickering, Ont. hired a personal fitness trainer, lost 25 lbs. and today calls herself a new person. Latchford and her trainer Sean O’Brien (pictured) team up for hourly sessions, and use a variety of exercises, including cardio, resistance and strength training.

Morning pain can spoil your entire day QUESTION: I began feeling pain in my heel and arch approximately one year ago, and it has been progressively getting worse. The pain is most intense when I fi rst get out of bed or when I begin standing. It almost feels like a bruise where the heel and arch meet. What might this be and how can I treat it? ANSWER: It sounds as if you are describing a condition know as plantar fasciitis, an infl ammation of the plantar fascia, a thick fi brous connective tissue running from the heel to the toes. It is responsible for maintaining the arch. The pain is worse when fi rst arising in the morning or at the beginning of an activity. It will then lessen after a few minutes of weight bearing but will also worsen as the day goes on. Plantar fasciitis occurs as a result of excessive pronation and a fl attening of the arch. This causes the foot to lengthen, leading this infl exible fascia to pull away from the heel bone. The end fi bers will develop some micro tears, swelling and infl ammation. Some of the predisposing factors leading to plantar fasciitis are: CrossFit Pickering is owned by Marta Blaze, Certifi ed CrossFit Level I trainer and a STOTTTM PILATES Certifi ed Instructor.

Exercises that address the arch and achilles tendon will be benefi cial, as might oral anti-infl ammatory pills or physiotherapy. Women may fi nd that wearing a shoe with a heel height of approximately 1-1/2 inches will help. All of these should lessen the symptoms but they do not address the cause. The best treatment is prescribing custom-made orthotics. They will control the foot mechanics and minimize pronation while supporting the arch. These supports will decrease the pull of the fascia at the heel thereby lessening the infl ammation. Orthotics should always be made from a non-weight-bearing plaster cast. Resolution of the pain can take from several weeks to four to six months, depending on how long you have had the problem. As with most problems, it is important to address the symptoms as soon as they appear. The longer you have the pain, the longer it takes to resolve the problem.

Not only will you receive advice on only those supplements which your condition requires, you will also be advised on how best to take them. The prostate is a small, walnut shaped gland located below the bladder; and for such a small gland, the prostate has a very big impact on both urinary and sexual functions. The most common concern with the prostate is known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a very aggressive - but non-malignant - condition brought on by an accumulation of dihydrotestosterone in the prostate. Another prostate concern is Prostatitis, an infection of the prostate gland with symptoms such as fever, chills, pain in the lower back and genital area, frequent and urgent urination as well as burning or painful urination. The major concern on every man’s mind is prostate cancer. The early warning signs of prostate cancer are usually unnoticeable and if prostate cancer goes undetected and untreated, it can spread quickly to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. That’s why it’s crucial for men who have a family history of prostate cancer to begin annual prostate exams at the age of 40. Men without a history of prostate cancer should begin annual exams at the age of 50. You can address prostate problems before they even begin though: improving your diet (increasing your intake of fi ber, fruits and vegetables, and consuming less red meat, dairy, refi ned sugars and fats); performing regular exercise (walking, jogging, cycling); and supplementing with all-natural nutraceuticals, minerals and vitamins (plant-derived extracts can be quite effective at treating prostate problems - without any side-effects). With this in mind, you can stop worrying about your prostate and start focusing on getting the most out of your life. Let us show you how easy and delicious fibre can be!

Council held yet another lengthy, hastily- called closed-door meeting Tuesday, to look at the Region’s most recent offer for a host com- munity agreement. After more than four hours behind closed doors, councillors passed two resolutions, one indicating that parts of what the Region of- fered were not acceptable. The other indicated support for the Region’s business case for the incinerator but asked for further information on safety and economics. Councillors said “there are certain positions within the agreement that are not negotiable, and they took a hard position on that,” Claring- ton CAO Franklin Wu said. “The ball is back in the court of the Region.” Details of what the Region offered remain confidential as negotiations continue. This was the second such meeting in as many weeks for Clarington councillors. Last week, councillors looked at an offer and sent it back, indicating if the Region agreed to a lengthy wish list from the Municipality, “Clar- ington council is prepared to reconsider its ‘unwilling host’ stance.” That stance still hasn’t changed, say coun- cillors. But some feel the Region is going to build the incinerator in Clarington anyway, so it’s a matter of getting the best deal possible. “We want to be sure we get the best, safest facility, and that it will somehow benefit the people of Clarington,” Councillor Ron Hooper said. Months ago, it became clear as a result of comments from Regional Chairman Roger Anderson, that Clarington’s stance on the mat- ter really didn’t matter, Coun. Hooper said. “I get the impression it’s going to forge ahead anyway,” he said. But Orono resident Linda Gasser said Tues- day’s motion was less about protecting Clar- ington and more about showing support to the Region, “Mayor Jim Abernethy couldn’t come to (Regional) council with a host community agreement in his back pocket but he could come with an endorsement of the business plan,” Ms. Gasser said. Only Clarington’s four local councillors sup- ported the motion, passed in January, indicat- ing Clarington would not be a willing host. The three Regional councillors, including the mayor, voted against it. Wednesday, Mayor Abernethy pointed out that the municipality has been negotiating the host agreement for almost a year and the unwilling motion was passed six months ago. “Those things are a mixed message,” he said. If Clarington accepts a host community agreement, it’s an indication of the Municipal- ity’s willingness to host, said the mayor. “It clearly established that Clarington coun- cil supported the business case, subject to negotiations with the Region on the host com- munity agreement. If we signed the contract, we would be the host community,” Mayor Abernethy said. -- with files from Reka Szekely Clarington punts incinerator back to the Region 3%%+ CLARIT Y "53) . % 3 3 IS OUR MANT R A MAKE 35## % 3 3 YOUR S,AUNCHING *U LY 2EDE SI G N E D F O R TODA Y S B U SI N E S S 4HE N E W $ U R H A M " U SI N E S S 4I M E S F E AT U R E S R EL E V A N T AND TI M EL Y A R TI CL E S A N D T O PI C AL A N D I N SI G HTF UL C O M M E N T A R Y ON LOC AL I S S U E S ALL P A C K A G E D I N A M O D E R N N E W L O O K)N ADDI TI O N T H E N E W " U SI N E S S 4I M E S OFF E R S M O R E @ 1 UI C K (I T S OF INF O R M ATI O N D E SI G N E D F O R TI M E C R U N C H E D E X E C UTI V E S A S WELL A S @ $I V E R SI O N S T O M ULL O V E R A N D T E A S E Y O U R B R AI N DURIN G Y O U R B R E A K S "E A P A RT OF T HI S S P E CI AL E DI TI O N C ALL T O D A Y T O R E S E R V E YOUR S P A C E 3I T D O W N WIT H O N E OF O U R S AL E S R E P R E S E N T ATI V E S TO REVI E W W H AT W E H A V E I N S T O R E A N D l ND TH E B E S T PL A C E M E N T FOR YOU R A D V E R TI SI N G THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 1, 2008 PAGE 15 A/Pdurhamregion.com durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 16 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, June 1, 2008 SPORTS ✦ E-mail game scores to Al Rivett, arivett@durhamregion.com ✦ Get local 24/7 newsdurhamregion.com AJ Groen/ News Advertiser photo Striding for the finish line PICKERING — Dunbarton High School’s Cameron Polley focuses on the finish line while clearing a hurdle during the midget boys’ 100-metre hurdles event. Polley was one of the competitors from Ajax and Pickering secondary schools at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Central Regional Track and Field Championships at York University in Toronto on Thursday. Polley finished seventh in the event final. Cleveland rocks for local hoops player Ajax’s Takima Keane to suit up with Cleveland State Vikings on scholarship By Al Rivett arivett@durhamregion.com AJAX — It wasn’t easy for an Ajax basketball player to decide where to make her collegiate home for the next four years. Courted by such venerable and high-profile hoops programs as the University of Illinois, University of Michigan and the Kansas Univer- sity, Takima Keane was nearing the final days of the final scholar- ship signing period in April before settling on her decision: Cleveland State University. The 18-year-old, 5-foot-10-and- a-half inch guard/forward, who comes to the downtown Cleveland university with plenty of interna- tional and national experience on the court, says although the task of narrowing her choices down to one school was tough, she’s sure she made the right call. “I went on my visits (to the vari- ous schools) and it took me a little while to decide what school to go to. I really liked the coaching staff (at Cleveland State). The coach re- ally recruited me well. I really had a good feeling about the school and there are other Canadians there.” Although her visit to Cleveland State stood out in her mind, there were other factors that rated high- ly in her decision: the proximity of the campus to her Ajax home (a five-hour drive); its proximity to her sister Kalisha at Michigan State University in East Lansing (a three-hour drive); and, the fact that Cleveland State is on the rise in women’s basketball in the U.S. Keane points out the Cleveland State Vikings, which compete in the NCAA Division 1 Horizon League Conference, earned their first-ever berth in the NCAA tour- nament last year. Although the Vikings were ousted in the first round by the Stanford University Cardinals of California, the tour- nament invite has definitely put the program on the map. Moreover, she believes the school’s a good fit academically (she’ll study psychology and com- munications) and admits the pros- pect of playing time as a freshman player was greater at Cleveland State than at other, more high-pro- file schools. “Yeah, that was really important to me,” Keane said. “I really liked Kansas and, obviously, it has a good basketball program, but I just felt that it’s such a big school and I would have to do my time there. At Takima Keane file • 18-year-old Ajax resident; • A 5-foot, 10-and-a-half-inch shooting guard, who can also play at the small forward slot; • Played club basketball in the Ajax Lions Basketball Associa- tion program, playing two years for her father, Hugh; • Played two years of high school senior basketball as a junior at Sinclair Second- ary School where she played alongside older sister, Kalisha. In Grade 10, she helped the Celtics qualify for OFSAA; • Joined her sister at Basketball Canada’s NEDA (National Elite Development Academy) pro- gram, which brings together the top 15- to 17-year-old basketball players in the country, two years ago. While practising and playing basketball at a high level, she also attended Hamilton’s Westdale Secondary School; • Will attend national junior tryouts in July for the upcoming FIBA women’s U-18 world quali- fier in Buenos Aires, Argentina; • Joins her sister Kalisha state- side on a scholarship to an NCAA Division 1 school. Kalisha begins her sophomore cam- paign at Michigan State... • Also recruited by Northern Illinois University and Oregon State University before agreeing to join Cleveland State; • One of four Canadians on the Cleveland State roster, join- ing junior guards Jessica and Angel Roque (Mississauga), and incoming freshman guard/for- ward Kaila Montgomery, from Ontario ...

Administered by Basketball Canada, the NEDA program caters to the best 15- to 17-year-old hoopsters in Cana- da. As such, it has allowed her to play against older and better competition, including university players. “I feel it has made me compete hard- er,” said Keane of the NEDA program, where she played exhibition games in Argentina and Chicago this past April. “You’re going up against talent- ed people every day. You’re playing against university competition and bigger bodies, so it has made me a bet- ter player in that sense. “I’ve been living away for home for two years already, so I know how to cope and how to manage my time,” she adds. Before university in the fall, Keane will attend tryouts for the national women’s junior (under-18) squad in early July at Georgian College in Barrie. With the NEDA squad, she’s already played in Argentina and hopes to again when qualifying for the world junior championships begins in Buenos Aires from July 23 to 30. In the future, she hopes to play pro- fessionally in Europe or perhaps in the WNBA. She would also like to play on the senior women’s national team. “They’re all part of my goals,” she said. ✦ Keane from page 16 Keane is keen for Cleveland Scoreboard JUNE 1, 2008 ANNANDALE MEMBERS GOLF CLUB A member of The ANNANDALE MEMBERS GOLF CLUB scores a hole-in-one.
