Held at 10 universities across Canada throughout July, the program fuses entrepre- neurship, innovation, science and technolo- gy. Through lectures, team-building activities and workshops run by university faculty and industry leaders, students are exposed to cur- riculum not normally included in high school programming. Participants also get first-hand experience of campus life by staying in cam- pus dorms for the duration of the program. “We are building tomorrow’s industry and academic leaders by instilling a spirit of excel- lence in them and exposing them to science and business in a dynamic group environ- ment,” said Barry Bisson, president of Shad Valley, which is a non-profit organization. “The strong sense of community that is cre- ated for participants is one of Shad Valley’s strengths. Students leave the program feel- ing connected to other highly motivated and exceptional students and benefit from a sig- nificant life-long competitive advantage. When they are at university or looking for jobs, Shad Valley alumni are there to support each other.” Students selected for summer program AJAX, PICKERING TEENS HEADING FOR SHAD VALLEY SABRINA BYRNES / METROLAND PICKERING -- Derek Yeung, a Pickering High School student, and Brianne Chan, a St. Mary Catholic Secondary School student, have been accepted to the Shad Valley summer science program. facebook.com/newsdurham twitter.com/newsdurham Pressrun 51,400 • 28 pages • Optional 3-week delivery $6/$1 newsstand P ICKER I NG News Adver tiserT H E ursday, June 23, 2011 BLAISDALE M O N TESSO RIBLAISDALEMONTESSORISCHOOL 12 months - grade 8Blaisdale.com 905-509-5005 OPEN HOUSE Thurs.April30,2009@7:00p.m. 56 Old Kingston Rd., Pickering Village,Ajax at Rougemount Campus, 365 Kingston Road, Pickering. atThe Village Campus 56 Old Kingston Road West, Ajax Wednesday, August 10th @ 7:00 p.m. Thursday,June30th @7:00p.m. OPEN HOUSE LifestyleLifestyle HOME PRODUCTSNEWAWNINGSFREEINSTALLATION On All New Orders! lifestyleproducts.ca 905-686-9607 Tr avel,Health,Life,Auto,Home&More...

Durham cops didn’t violate Charter in search JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Durham drug cops did not mislead the courts in seeking a search war- rant for a suspected Pickering grow op, Ontario’s top court has ruled. In a ruling released Tuesday, the Ontario Court of Appeal ordered a new trial for Duc Van Nguyen and Mac Thi Nguyen, whose charges were dropped in 2010 after Superior Court Justice Jane Ferguson ruled their Char- ter rights had been violated by Durham cops. The Crown appealed Justice Ferguson’s rul- ing. The appeal court ruled that while the appli- cation for a search warrant filed by Detective Constable Dave Mason was not perfect, it was not, as Justice Ferguson found, misleading and rife with omissions. And the court ruled that even if Charter violations had occurred, the evidence -- a massive grow op consisting of 1,100 plants -- should have been admissi- ble as evidence at trial. “Few applications are perfect,” the ruling, written by Justice Robert Blair and supported by Justices Karen Weiler and Gloria Epstein, said. “The trial judge’s overall conclusion that the (application) was carelessly drafted, materially misleading and factually incom- plete is simply not supported on the record.” Mr. and Ms. Nguyen were found inside 304 Sheppard Ave. in November 2007 when Dur- ham drug cops executed a search warrant and discovered the grow op in the heavily- fortified house. They were charged with pro- duction of marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking. The warrant had been obtained on the basis of statements by Det.-Const. Mason, who received an anonymous tip and then launched his own investigation, finding evi- dence of a grow op including covered win- dows, an unkempt lawn and signs of heat being emitted through attic vents. Police also conducted a helicopter fly-over of the home, detecting heat emissions with an infrared camera, and formed the opinion that hydro was being diverted. When the case went to court, Justice Fer- guson found the process of obtaining the warrant was flawed, concluding Det.-Const. Mason had misled a JP by claiming to have training in detecting grow ops. The judge also found the officer made omissions in the appli- cation -- he hadn’t mentioned, for instance, that he did not detect the smell of marijuana or hear blowers and fans typically associated with grow ops. The appeal court ruled that while the offi- cer might not have attended classes on grow op detection, he had extensive experience in drug investigations and legitimate on-the-job training. And the omissions cited by the judge amounted to “facts that were not known”, the court concluded. “Formal training is one form of training ... but on-the-job practical training is valuable and counts as well,” the appeal court ruled.

On June 1 Coun. Dickerson filed an appeal with the Ontario Court of Justice contesting the decision of the City’s compliance commit- tee to conduct an audit on the councillor’s election expenses. The appeal names the Corpora- tion of the City of Pickering as a respondent. At a regular council meeting on June 20, Councillor Bill McLean requested on update on the pro- cess of the appeal. “I want to talk about process and what’s happening as far as policy and procedure and where this is going as far as the court action against Pickering,” he said. “Are there any thoughts of a rec- ommendation from staff to council to get direction as far as what our position is, what we have to do and what our risk or liability is? Is there anything coming for us?” CAO Tony Preve- del cautioned that the administration had been advised to remain neutral on the matter while the issue moves through the court system. Since the issue is related to the elec- tion, it’s viewed as a separate matter under the Election Act. “The purpose of legislation is to keep the administration of the City away from the process,” Mr. Prevedel said. “We’ve tried to stay completely neutral so we don’t have a report or anything at this time planned to come before council.” Coun. McLean also ques- tioned whether a conflict of inter- est should be declared since the City’s new solicitor, Paul Bigioni, has a brother who is one of the partners in the firm where Coun. Dickerson’s solicitor, Marshall Green, is also a partner. “I’m not judging our lawyer or his professional standards,” Coun. McLean said. “I’m looking at this through the optics of the residents and in terms of transparency it just doesn’t sit right. Why not get an independent lawyer to give us some advice so we as a corpora- tion know where we stand?” Coun. McLean was assured that no conflict of interest was at play. “The firm Councillor Dickerson hired is family, yes, but there’s no conflict as long as our City solici- tor is not involved,” Mr. Prevedel said. A motion to move into an in- camera session to discuss the issue was voted down by council- lors. “If they’re looking at it as a municipal election thing not involving the City that’s fine, but the respondent is the City of Pickering and we as council- lors are its board of directors,” Coun. McLean said, noting that although the notice of appeal does not seek financial repa- rations, it does contain a line instructing the court to offer “fur- ther relief as the court may see just.” “I’m a layman but it seems to me there’s a possibility of some financial cost should this appeal be successful. If things go awry who are we going to point the fin- ger at? I want to be able to say to the residents, who are essentially our shareholders, that we did our due diligence.” There is currently no court date set for the appeal. www.durhamregiontransit.com 1-866-247-0055 ServiceChanges Effective June 27, 2011 221Delaney-Renamed221NorthCentralAjax Changeinroute DelaneyatHarkins>northonHarkinsDr>eastonRosslandRd>southonBennettDr> southonSullivanDr>westonMagillDr>southonColesAve>resumeroutingonChapmanDr. ImprovedSaturdaytrainmeets. 222Audley New MondaytoFridayMiddayandSaturdayservice. 225AudleyNorth Minorrouteadjustmenttosouthboundtripsonly,nowservingWicksDr,AllardDr,ChamberDr. 226Duffins NewMondaytoFridayMiddayservice.Minorrouteadjustmentto serveRandsDrive.

Evan Wiseman was nominated on June 16. His father is former local NDP MPP Jim Wiseman and the younger Mr. Wiseman said a family history of politics is one of the reasons he decided to run. “I’m looking forward to the upcoming election, my family is very political, politics is second nature to me,” he said. Mr. Wiseman, who has lived in Ajax all his life, recently graduated from the Uni- versity of Toronto with an honours bach- elor of arts degree in history and political science. “With just finishing university, it was a great opportunity and I took advantage of it and now I’m the candidate,” he said. Mr. Wiseman says he’ll be out campaign- ing this summer and will also turn to elec- tronic media such as Twitter, Facebook and blogging to spread his message. Among his issues, Mr. Wiseman says he opposes an airport in Pickering and also sees taxes as an issue. “The HST is a major issue for sure. For instance, it’s supposedly a tax break, but it’s really not for the people who need it the most, it’s hurt middle and lower class fami- lies a great deal.” Mr. Wiseman will be facing off against incumbent Liberal MPP Joe Dickson and Progressive Conser- vative candidate Todd McCarthy and said he thinks he has a good shot at victory in the riding come election day on Oct. 6. He rejects con- ventional wisdom that Ajax-Pickering will be a battle between the Grits and the Tories. “It’s swung NDP in the past, with my dad being the most recent example ... neither party seems to be really listening to the people,” he said. In addition to being involved in politics, Mr. Wiseman has a black belt in martial arts and volunteers at a local martial arts studio. ElEction 2011 NDP chooses candidate for Ajax-Pickering EvAN wIsEmAN AJAX -- Ajax-Pickering Progressive Con- servative candidate Todd McCarthy is ready for a summer campaign after official- ly opening his office last weekend. Mr. McCarthy’s office is at 520 Westney Rd. S., Unit 15, at the corner of Clements and Westney roads. To celebrate the opening, Mr. McCarthy hosted a volunteer appreciation barbecue at noon on June 18, followed by a door- knocking blitz with the volunteers. Mr. McCarthy plans to keep door knock- ing through the summer months. “I continue to learn so much from lis- tening to neighbours, friends, and people throughout Ajax-Pickering who tell me that Dalton McGuinty’s Liberal government is out of touch and that we need change in Ontario to reduce taxes and hydro rates, focus on health care and education and end waste and corruption.” Election day is Oct. 6. ajax-Pickering tory candidate opens campaign offices A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

That’s what the Province estimates it would cost to take care of Ontario’s unbuilt and unrepaired infrastructure needs today. As the population of the Golden Horseshoe swells from eight million people five years ago to 11.5 million by 2031, the pressure is mounting on cash-strapped municipalities to find funding for the capital projects, ser- vices and repairs that growth demands. Metroland’s special investigative series, Concrete problems, paints an alarming financial picture of what’s happening in our province. Existing infrastructure is aging, at the same time growing communities cre- ate a need for new services and facilities. There is a $100-billion problem, with no funds available to provide an easy solution. That infrastructure gap can be seen more clearly every day in roadway sinkholes, flooded storm systems and deteriorating public buildings. Adding another layer to the problem, the fast-growing population will require larg- er public buildings, better public transit and new schools. The Province’s Places to Grow plan sets ambitious population tar- gets for municipalities and guidelines on constructing efficient, compact communi- ties. But there is no corresponding offer by the Province, or Ottawa, to help specifically with the costs of everything all those new residents will need. Recent government stimulus funds went to “shovel-ready” projects, rather than those most in need of attention. While the $3.4-billion infra- structure program created jobs and helped kick-start the economy, even Ontario Infra- structure Minister Bob Chiarelli concedes the stimulus programs made only a “dent”. Some Ontario communities are threat- ening to close their doors to new growth, unless the Province comes up with fund- ing answers. What municipalities say they need more than anything else is sustain- able, predictable funding rather than the piecemeal approach used now. The Liberal government says it will soon make public a 10-year infrastructure plan. But with only one level of taxpayer, cre- ative and sensible solutions are needed. Public-private partnerships, known as P3s, are one option. Other models being looked at include set- ting aside a certain percentage of income tax or a percentage of sales tax such as the HST for infrastructure. The mayors of Canada’s largest cities have agreed that municipalities must watch the new majority government of Stephen Harper to ensure there is change to the federal government’s share of infrastruc- ture funding. We call on all levels of gov- ernment to work co-operatively to ensure Ontario becomes a model of sensible, sus- tainable growth, rather than an example of urban decline. Infrastructure challenges will require co-operation, creativity I could likely fill this column and every other one next month with examples of famous Twitter gaffes and still need more space to cover them all. There’s the case of the Chrysler communi- cations employee who accidently used the company account to tweet his or her frus- tration about bad drivers in Detroit writing: “I find it ironic that Detroit is known as the motorcity and yet no one here knows how to f----- drive.” Given that auto makers shouldn’t be insulting drivers, that cost them their job. There’s the case of American politician Anthony Weiner, covered in last week’s col- umn, who destroyed his political career after he posted a racy photo meant to be a private message in his regular Twitter feed. But those cases are accidental; in other cases people intentionally post words or images that come back to haunt them. Take the case of American Connor Riley, forever dubbed the Cisco Fatty on the Inter- net. In 2009, after receiving a job offer from Cisco, she tweeted the following: “Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Jose and hating the work.” Ah, but the decision was made for her after a Cisco employee responded via Twit- ter: “Who is the hiring manager. I’m sure they would love to know that you will hate the work. We here at Cisco are versed in the web.” Sure enough, Ms. Riley never worked for Cisco and her case is now a classic cau- tionary tale about keeping tweets private. Apparently she learned the lesson because her current tweets are locked. Closer to home, Toronto City Councillor John Parker got into some hot water this week after he tweeted: “Delighted and hon- oured to help unveil eight new Toronto heri- tage plaques and meet hot chicks in the bar- gain. I love my job.” At issue, of course, is that he referred to women he’d met that day as “hot chicks”. Now being a politician, he can’t get fired for making a not-quite politically correct comment and in the grand scheme of Twit- ter gaffes, this one is relatively minor. Mr. Parker withdrew the comment and apologized for making it, but still it caused quite a flap, making national headlines and even landing on the front page of the Toron- to Sun, hardly a feminist bastion, known for the daily Sunshine Girl. On the media controversy, Mr. Parker commented that it must be a slow news day. Partially, he’s correct and news stories about public gaffes are ever popular. But here’s the thing, politicians will often say impolitic things. Perhaps it’s a joke that ends as a dud or perhaps it’s something like Mr. Parker’s comment where it’s a compli- ment gone wrong. Contrary to popular belief, reporters who cover politics don’t jump all over those kinds of comments unless they’re truly offensive. If we did, we’d never have space in our papers for real news. But when you make an impolitic com- ment via social media, it gets magnified and everyone sees it and when the web starts buzzing, reporters pay attention. And everyone should remember that on Twitter, you’re not among friends. If there’s even one person in the world who you wouldn’t make a particular comment to face-to-face, don’t tweet it. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Thursday in this space.

Reka Szekely Caught in Twitter gaffes: The Cisco Fatty to Toronto City Council durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 23, 20117 AP New residents = more strains on cities, towns ToronTo STar File PhoTo DURHAM -- Ontario’s swelling population makes it harder than ever for municipalities to find money for roads, sewers, schools and other needed infrastructure. By DaviD FleiScher anD nicole viSScheDyk newsroom@durhamregion.com If Ontario was your house, it would be on the verge of falling apart. The roof needs reshin- gling, the electrical system is ailing and the furnace is on its last legs. Forget about the fact the bathroom hasn’t been redone since the 1970s. You’ve taken loans and are maxing out credit cards to pay for just part of what needs to be done. A Metroland Special Report shows that’s the situation for Ontario munici- palities as they struggle to fix our crumbling infrastructure - the roads, buildings, water and sewer systems that underpin our daily life. Second in a three-part series. ONTARIO -- You’re getting a lot of new neighbours over the next few years as Ontar- io grows, but no one is sure how to pay for them. All those new residents are going to need pipes to bring water to their homes, libraries and community centres in which to spend time and roads on which to drive. There isn’t enough money to build it all. The Greater Golden Horseshoe area’s pop- ulation alone will swell from 8 million to 11.5 million by 2031, and the towns, villages and cities surveyed in a Metroland Special Report estimate they will need tens of billions of dol- lars they don’t have in order to accommodate that growth. Some of Ontario’s fast-growing towns and cities are even threatening to effectively shut their doors if the Province, which ordered them to take on new residents, can’t provide them with more money to undertake des- perately needed construction, renewal and repairs. The government’s Places to Grow plan aims to promote intensification and make sprawl a thing of the past, but all those new residents and employees will still need infrastructure that municipalities say they don’t have the ability to provide. Infrastructure is the underpinning of every Ontario community, the public facilities that form the physical backbone that supports daily life. But there’s a gap of about $100 bil- lion between what’s needed and what’s avail- able in funds. The Metroland Special Report shows that communities are already pressed to their lim- its, with many in debt due to lack of funds for existing infrastructure. Now, they’re balking at the new government-imposed pressures of accommodating such ambitious growth. Halton Region, for example, estimates it needs $8.6 billion to pay for infrastruc- ture related to growth through to 2031. That includes 50 new elementary schools and new community centres, 2,200 kilometres of roads, six police stations and 1,100 hospital beds. It’s similar provincewide: • York Region estimates it will need $11.1 billion just for infrastructure to serve the 500,000 new residents expected by 2031. More than 80 per cent of the Region’s bud- get is earmarked for infrastructure related to growth over the next decade. • Peel’s capital budget over the next 10 years is just over $5 billion; • Kitchener says it will need nearly $240 million for growth just in the next decade, with only one-third of that total coming from development charges. The rest will have to come from taxes; • Niagara Falls says it will need more than $100 million in the next 10 years, with taxpay- ers on the hook for nearly half. It isn’t just Places to Grow fuelling the con- cern. Providing the physical premises for other provincially mandated programs is an issue. Schools have their own challenges. All- day kindergarten is still being phased in and is expected to cost about $1.5 billion a year provincewide. “If the federal and provincial governments don’t participate in long-term funding, yeah, I can see municipalities say ‘we won’t build new bridges. We’ll repair the ones we have’,” said Durham Chairman Roger Anderson. Building a public transit system takes money and it’s only funded by municipali- ties, Mr. Anderson said. Durham rarely debentures, or takes out a loan, to repair roads or bridges, preferring a pay-as-you-go approach, he added. “We will only proceed if we have the infra- structure coming ... we will draw a line in the sand,” said Halton Region Chairman Gary Carr, adding the Province “has to decide if they’re going to invest in the future or not.” Fairness for Halton, a public campaign launched in 2007, demanded a new deal that would allow the region to develop without overburdening taxpayers. All municipalities want the Province to create a new, secure infrastructure funds program, rather than the piecemeal system in use now. In fact, a new 10-year Ontario infrastructure plan is set to be released shortly, although Infrastructure Minister Bob Chiarelli declined to give details. He said, however, the govern- ment recognizes there are needs to be met in high-growth communities. When he flies into Toronto from Ottawa at night, Mr. Chiarelli says, he can see just how the city has grown into a continuous region stretching clear to Niagara. Better co-ordi- nation between governments and regional thinking are key to going forward, he said. But the issue is not just about funding. There is much tug-and-pull over the place and responsibility of developers when a com- munity grows. One touchy element is that the cost of proj- ects associated with growth are supposed to come from charges paid by developers. But those fees or taxes paid by developers on each new commercial, industrial or housing unit they build are increasingly inadequate. A report released by the Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario in March said government levies now account for up to 30 per cent of the cost of new hous- ing in the GTA, proposing that something needs to change to facilitate growth. “You’ve got a good plan here and it makes a lot of sense, but you need to put infrastruc- ture where you’ll get the best bang for the buck,” said RCCAO executive director Andy Manahan. There is a limit to how much the new-home market can absorb, he said. Mr. Manahan agrees with municipal lead- ers that national programs for things such as transit and cities are crucial and that pro- gram-based, piecemeal funding won’t cut the mustard in the future. Also difficult for municipalities is that revi- sions to the Development Charges Act by the former Mike Harris government mean many projects are exempt from the charges. So, if a growing municipality needs a new hospital or a new city hall, taxpayers have to pay. Municipalities have repeatedly asked Pre- mier Dalton McGuinty to revise the act but he has made it clear it is not in his plans. Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak has also publicly said revisions are not on his radar, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be lobbying for change over the next few months, said Halton chairman Mr. Carr, a former Tory MPP. His municipality is among the fastest grow- ing in the country and councillors are not prepared to meet mandated growth targets if they don’t get help paying for that new popu- lation’s needs. Mr. Manahan, the Ontario construction association director, said the wave of growth is clearly already coming ashore, even if the funding hasn’t been settled. If new home and business costs are driven up, people will move further out, making the live/work/play communities envisioned by Places to Grow much harder to achieve, he said. Page 6 - Today’s editorial Part 3 tomorrow The Province’s 2006 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe was designed to curb sprawl and promote denser, transit-oriented com- munities. Municipalities were directed to ensure a minimum of 40 per cent of all new residents settle within the already developed boundaries. That still means 60 per cent of development can go on virgin land, but some municipalities set the bar higher, with Markham having an extensive debate about preserving green space before settling on a maximum 40 per cent. The Province also identified 25 urban cores with even higher intensification targets for jobs and residents. The centres range from Waterloo to Mil- ton and Pickering. While many, such as downtown Toronto and Hamilton, are already established, there are others, such as Vaughan and Missis- sauga, that were blank-slate suburban wastelands now aiming to be suburban mini-downtowns. The plan dovetailed with other key pieces of legislation, such as the 2005 Greenbelt Act, that redefined the nature of development in southern Ontario. A proposed amendment to the Places to Grow plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe was released for consultation in 2010, but has not yet passed. It would allow Simcoe County to develop employment lands that some have said will allow development to “leapfrog” the Greenbelt that is supposed to rein it in.

Made up of residents advocating for the federal lands in Pickering to be delegated as a land trust, the group has been await- ing the results of a needs assessment commissioned by Transport Canada three years ago. Conducted by the Great- er Toronto Airports Authority, the study has been completed but no results have been released as yet. “We would like to see this land in perpe- tuity as a land trust,” said Gord McGregor, chairman of the group, during the meet- ing on June 21. “We certainly hope that down the road this is going to happen but the battle is far from over that’s for sure.” Demolitions of the homes remaining on the land has been ongoing, with about 50 homes on the current list for demoli- tion, which could begin in September. The City of Pickering is currently exam- ining the homes on the list to determine if any are worth saving for heritage value, although many have fallen into a state of extensive disrepair. “We’re currently doing some research on the properties to see if these are just old, broken-down sheds or buildings that are in disrepair because they’ve been ignored,” said Councillor Peter Rodri- gues, who attended the meeting. “There a number of things the City could do, such as take over the prop- erties, but we’re still looking at all the options.” Member Lorne Almack was a resident of the lands at the time of expropriation in 1972, and has been fighting to have the land returned to the community ever since. “I remember when we received our expropriation form letter and that sent everyone into a rage, and I’ve been in a rage ever since,” he said. “The issue is that first of all an airport is not needed, and secondly, if one is needed it shouldn’t be built on Class A farmland, that’s ludicrous. It isn’t build- ings they’re trying to destroy here, it’s the community, and it’s the community we’re fighting for now. On our side now we have rising world food prices, people all over the world are struggling to have enough food to eat.” Despite the lack of news, members say they are nervous about what will happen in the future due to the high value of the lands. “I think all of us feel there’s something in the wind and don’t know what it is,” said Mary Delaney. “There’s a whole lot of rumours out there and with the change of government we don’t know what to expect.” Member Joe Bezubiak agreed, not- ing that the land could be sold to pay for other needs. “It’s scary this time. We’ve got a govern- ment with an agenda to pay for and this is a valuable piece of land.” lanD over lanDings Pickering airport opposition group breaks for summer sabrina byrnes / MetrolanD PICKERING -- Gabrielle Untermann, secretary, and Gordon McGregor, chairman of Land over Landings, spoke to those in attendance during the last meeting before the group broke for summer. Derek Leung, a Grade 10 student at Pickering High School, and Brianne Chan, a Grade 11 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, have been chosen from more than 1,000 applicants to attend the summer pro- gram. “I just thought it was a really great opportu- nity and seemed like it would be a great expe- rience,” Derek said, noting that the application process took him about a month to complete. “I’m really into business and finance, that’s where I hope to work, and this program offers a lot of internship opportunities so I’m hoping to find a position in that field.” Derek will be attending the program at the University of New Brunswick in July, while Brianne will be attending Carleton Universi- ty in Ottawa. Ms. Chan said she hopes to find some inspiration at Shad Valley as to what she wants from the future. “I’m most looking forward to meeting new people and just see- ing what they think of the world and getting ideas from them,” she said, noting it would be a good practice run for university. “I’m not sure right now about the future and what I want to be, and I’m not sure if I want to live on campus or stay home for university. I think this will be a good chance to experience university and see what I think about campus life.” AJAX from page 1 eDucation Ajax, Pickering teens head to prestigious camp durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 23, 201110 AP Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Ever since I brought home my first cat, I can’t imagine life without one. Yes, my two cats rule my life. I find myself constantly feeding them, cleaning their litter boxes and trying to figure out what the heck they’re meowing about, but I honestly love them and can’t wait to see them each day. “Pets provide many benefits to their human guardians. As well as affection, love and companion- ship, pets can also lower blood pressure and even cholesterol and triglyceride levels,” said Michael O’Sullivan, Humane Society of Canada chairman and CEO in a press release. As long as you’re committed to giving them the love and care they deserve and a forever home -- cats can live more than 20 years -- con- sider adoption. This month, the Humane Society asks anyone thinking of adopting a cat to consider their local animal shelter or rescue group. “Unfortunately, there are always plenty of cats to choose from,” said Al Hickey, HSC western region- al director. “However, especially during spring time animal rescue workers are often overwhelmed by the tremendous number of kittens and young cats who are home- less.” Kittens are adorable, but don’t overlook mature cats. “Kittens can be a lot of work and they require considerable atten- tion,” said Mr. O’Sullivan. “Mature cats also make great companions and often aren’t as high mainte- nance.” June can be a great month to adopt a cat since kids and many parents are on vacation and able to help a cat adjust to its new home. HsC’s feline care tips 10. Create several places where your cat can scratch, such as scratching posts and boxes. 9. Exercise them. Offer toys they can chase, pull, bat or climb into. Try paper bags, milk-carton rings, wadded-up paper and boxes to reduce costs. 8. Brush their coats and clip their nails. 7. Cats don’t usually require baths, but if needed, bathe them in warm water with mild soap. Never use dog sham- poo on a cat; it can be toxic. 6. Keep cats indoors, and make sure to clean their litter box daily. Use a plastic litter pan with about two inches of litter. 5. Give them a well-padded yet shallow bed for sleeping in a draft-free area. 4. Avoid generic or little-known food brands as many contain inferior ingre- dients, and never give them bones, raw fish or milk. 3. Register your cat for free with HSC’s Pet Recovery Team. You get a free pet tag with their toll-free number, your pet’s name and your own phone num- bers on the reverse. If your pet goes missing, list them at humanesociety. com or call 1-800-641-5463. 2. Vaccinate. Protect them from rabies and other health challenges. 1. Have your cat spayed or neutered to make sure there are enough perma- nent loving homes for every kitten.

That’s what it feels like atop the Oak Ridges Moraine, the highlands that curve around the GTA, protecting it from winds from the north. During the last great Ice Age, mile-high glaciers met shoulder- to-shoulder along its length, leav- ing a ridge of rocks and gravel between them when they melted ten thousand years ago. It’s Dur- ham Region’s most dramatic land- scape feature. I had a chance last week to explore a section of moraine I’d never been to before, an old farm stretching over the crest of the Ridges, with views of Lake Ontario to the south, Uxbridge to the north. A local homeowner, concerned about the placement of wind turbines, asked my husband and me to check out the birds nesting there. Our survey provided a glorious morning walk through a rich complex of habitats. We started out through a shady green woodlot where mature sugar maples, red oak and beech trees towered around us, echoing with the calls of ovenbirds, the slurred whistles of eastern wood-peewees. Round holes drilled in several stubs attested to the annual nesting of pileated woodpeckers, and mul- tiple roosting cavities for screech- owls and saw-whet owls. Trilliums and other ephemerals were done blooming, but white flower clusters at the tips of starry false Solomon seal brushed our legs as we passed. It was a shock stepping from the dim woods into the blinding sunshine of the adjacent pasture, where dewy grasses and wildflow- ers drenched us to our knees. King- birds met us -- black-and-white fly- catchers hawking for insects from their mullein stalk perches. Grass- hopper sparrows called from low in the grass, their buzzy trills sounding much like those of their namesake. We surprised two deer that thought they had the pasture to themselves. One stared at us, snorting and stomping, before bounding away. In a Scots pine plantation near- by, two blue-winged warblers were calling back and forth, proclaim- ing territory, and a brown thrasher sang from a treetop. In a recently logged deciduous woods beyond that, one mourning warbler and a scarlet tanager sang. In the old hay- field at the top, where the turbines would be placed, a bobolink sang its songs, regaling us as we stood and gazed at the timeless view. We heard surprisingly few Savan- nah sparrows and not a single meadowlark -- other grassland spe- cies whose populations are plum- meting. It was really interesting noting the habitat succession. Non-native Scots pines colonizing the pasture edges provided a protected nursery for native baby oaks, maples, white birch and white pines. If left alone to grow for a hundred years, a far different forest would blanket the spine of the Oak ridges Moraine, one dominated by giant white pine sentinels, as in ages past.

E., Whitby ON L1N 6A3 1-800-667-5671 www.durhamregionwaste.ca Why does my waste have to be set out at the curb by 7 a.m.? Setting your waste at the curb before 7 a.m. on your regularly scheduled collection day ensures that it will be collected.Waste collection drivers have designated routes to follow with daily expected completion times. Once they have completed a street, they cannot return to collect late set outs. There is also no guarantee of your collection time because routes may change or be faster some weeks depending on the amount of waste set out. Therefore, if your waste is not out by 7 a.m. this may result in it not being collected as the truck may have already gone by. Residents should be aware that the collection drivers collect one side and return to collect the other side later in the day. What kind of containers can I use for my yard waste material? Please note that yard waste set out in plastic bags will not be collected. Please use either kraft paper yard waste bags or clearly labelled rigid, open-top reusable containers for yard waste collected curbside. These containers cannot exceed 20 kilograms (44 pounds) in weight. Bundles of brush must be securely tied into bundles up to one metre (three feet) in length, and 76 centimetres (30 inches) in width, weighing no more than 20 kilograms (44 pounds). There is a three-bundle limit per collection. Brush and tree trimmings must be eight centimetres (three inches) or less in diameter. Please check your collection calendar for more details on yard waste collection in your area and for a list of acceptable yard waste items. Can I put grass clippings in my yard waste containers? Grass clippings are not accepted as yard waste for curbside collection. The Region of Durham encourages residents to grasscycle. Grasscycling is the recycling of grass by leaving clippings on the lawn after mowing. Grasscycling provides many benefits including improved lawn quality as grass clippings are natural fertilizers, and grass clippings act as mulch helping to control soil temperature and retain moisture reducing the need for watering.

Action Volunteers for Animals has received a $10,000 grant from PetSmart Charities to cover the cost of spaying and neutering local stray and feral cats. “Overpopulation is the problem and the only solution is to spay and neuter,” says Ms. Harkins, whose group works in Durham and the GTA to foster homeless animals, cover the cost of veterinary care and spay and neu- ter feral cats. “If we want to stop the cycle of hav- ing all these cats and kittens in shel- ters, it makes sense that we need to stop so many from being born,” she says. The grant is enough to fix and release 150 cats, based on the discounted rate the rescue group has arranged with a network of local vets. About 35 have had the procedure so far. Ms. Harkins is encouraging anyone who has a stray or feral cat hanging around their property to contact AVA. Volunteers can help people arrange to have a cat dropped off, or assist with setting a humane trap. Over the last few years, the group has arranged for about 100 feral cats living in a colony at Oshawa’s Lakeview Park to be fixed. More recently, 30 cats living near the Dur- ham College and UOIT campus -- many abandoned by students who moved away -- were spayed and neutered. “When people see a stray cat they want to help, but they don’t know what to do,” Ms. Harkins says. “They don’t want to keep it, they don’t want to take it to a shelter ... if it might be put down. This is a great solution.” For more information: CALL 416-439-8770 EMAIL denise@actionvolunteersforani- mals.com Reporter Jillian Follert can be found on Twitter @ JillianFollert and on Facebook by searching Jillian Follert animal WelFare Local charity gets grant to spay, neuter Durham’s stray cats durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 23, 201112 AP DURHAM -- Durham residents and busi- nesses were recently honored by the Region of Durham with Accessibility Awards.

Public can learn at free event Sunday Reka Szekely rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- Ajax residents can learn about the richness of Aboriginal culture through music, dance, art and more at a local celebration on Sunday. Aboriginal Celebration Day will be held on June 26 at the Cultur- al Expressions Art Gallery, 62 Old Kingston Rd., from 1 to 4 p.m. This will be the second year for the event in Ajax and all members of the pub- lic are invited to the free event. Ajax resident Alexandria Bipat- nath, 15, will be one of the dancers at the event and her mother, Kim Wheatley, is one of the organizers, along with gallery owner Esther Forde. When asked why she dances, Alexandria points to her mom. “It’s because she supports me all the time,” she said. Alexandria’s dancing clothing -- a colourful mix of green, red, yel- low, orange and black -- was sewn by her mother. She’s a fancy shawl dancer and her shawl bears a turtle representing the fact that she’s Tur- tle Clan. Alexandria, who is Shawanaga of the Anishnaabe First Nation, also danced at last year’s inaugural Aboriginal Celebration Day in Ajax and said last year’s event was a lot of fun with good turnout. “It’s an opportunity for people who don’t have an idea of the cul- ture to know how beautiful the cul- ture is,” she said. Nine-year-old Shane Camer- on, who is Haudenosaunee and a member of the Oneida Nation of the Thames, will also be dancing. The Scarborough resident is a prai- rie chicken dancer and explains why dancing is important to him. “It’s the root of me and it’s the root of Aboriginal people,” said Shane. In fact, music and dancing will be a big part of the celebration with the Red Spirit Singers and Drummers also participating. Ms. Wheatley explains that everyone is welcome to join and dance to the beat of the drums. “You don’t need to know what’s being sung, you don’t need to know what’s being said and still it brings and emotion in you,” she said, adding that dancing and music are forms of medicine. In addition to the music, there will be storytelling, featured art- work and an opportunity to make beaded leather bracelets. Refresh- ments will be available, including strawberries, as June is the month of the strawberry moon, said Ms. Wheatley. Ms. Forde said when she opened her gallery, which highlights cul- tures from around the world, she always knew she wanted to cel- ebrate her own culture through Black History Month. But after that her next priority was to celebrate the Aboriginal culture because she thinks it’s important for all residents and Canadians to learn about it.

This year’s brochure features 54 association members and two associate members in Durham. “It gives an overview of all the great products that are grown and produced in the Durham Region,” says Durham Farm Fresh president Tom Coleman, of Algoma Orchards Gourmet Market in Newcastle. “Durham Region is known for agri- culture and this brochure is vital in getting local residents to buy local.” Mr. Coleman added, “Buying local is of the upmost importance.

The pain is most intense when I first get out of bed or when I begin standing. It almost feel 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 known as plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick fibrous connective tissue running from the heel to the toes. It is responsible for maintaining the arch. The pain is worse when first 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 flattening of the arch. This causes the foot to lengthen, leading this inflexible fascia to pull away from the heel bone. The end fibers will develop some micro tears, swelling and inflammation. Some of the predisposing factors leading to plantar fasciitis are: 1. Flattening of the arch (lengthening of the foot) 2. Increase pronation 3. High arched rigid feet 4. Inappropriate shoes 5. Hill or inclined treadmill running 6. Soft terrain running (beach) 7. Increase weight and / or age 8. Pregnancy Treatment involves ice and rest. Exercises that ad- dress the arch and Achilles tendon will be beneficial, as might oral anti-inflammatory pills or physiotherapy. Women may find 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 inflammation. 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 impor- tant to address the symptoms as soon as they appear. The longer you have the pain, the longer it takes to resolve the problem.

Readers Choice Award Winner in Ajax, Pickering Oshawa, and Whitby Q.Has the hearing aid market changed over the past few years? A. More clinics have opened creating healthy competition which is beneficial fo r consumers; Better customer services, better prices, better products, better services. Also, with more hearing care facilities,we are able to help more people quicker. However,vertical integration has occurred which may not be in the best interests of consumers. Q.What is vertical integration? A. Some Hearing Aid manufacturers own clinics which mean they sell hearing aids directly to the Public, allowing for potential conflict of interest. Because there is no law regulating this at this time, it is hard for the Public to know which clinics are owned by manufacturers. The College regulating Au diologists state in their conflict of interest guideline that an Au diologist can work for a manufacturer “provided that the member does not prescribe or sell such products to patients or clients.” Q.Are yo ur clinics manufacturer owned? A.We are not manufacturer owned. As independents,we offer a wide range of Hearing Aids to meet everyone’s needs:Re chargeable,Bluetooth, Hands-Free,WireLESS, Re motes, 100% Invisible Hearing Aids,Au tomatic Hearing aids,Au tomatic Streaming. Q. Q.Why do yo u deal with several hearing aid manufacturers? A. The ‘leading’ hearing aid manufacturers change from year to year, and no one should enter into a life time contract. One Manufacturer does NOT have the BEST hearing solution fo r everyone. One Manufacturer will not be the leading manufacturer for a person’s life time, and consumers should not limit themselves or miss out on new and better technology.

Health & Wellness ADVERTISING FEATURE For many people, summer means spending time at the cot- tage or camping. It is a chance to take a breather and have fun. But if you or your child are one of the 1.7 million Ontarians who have asthma, it is important to be aware of possible trig- gers that could await you at the cottage or campsites. Air qual- ity in these environments could have higher levels of mould, dust and pollens. Because asthma doesn't take a holiday, managing asthma while away is important. Don't fret! There is plenty of information out there to help you make the most of your well-deserved holiday. For example, the Ontario Lung Association offers these tips to keep you and your family healthy over the summer months: 1. Know your triggers could be present in a new setting such as a cottage, camp or the woods and could include: • Indoor moulds - accommodations, mat- tresses • Pets or local wildlife • Pollen levels • Food allergens • Campfire smoke • Air pollution levels • Dust 2. Understand how asthma medicines work and know how to use them. Relievers (usually blue) are used to relieve asthma symptoms. Controllers are used to prevent symptoms and are usually taken regularly every day. 3. Store asthma medicines in a cool, accessible location. If they get overheated or get wet, they may no longer be usable. Be sure to take extra asthma medicine along in case of unex- pected events. 4. Have a written asthma action plan from your doctor or health care provider. Learn how to use it. 5. If you are sending your child to camp, share this asthma action plan with the staff. Most camps have medical forms that are kept on file for the duration of the camp session. Let them know they can call for a copy of The Lung Association's “Student Asthma Manage- ment Plan” if desired. 6. Involve your child in his/her asthma man- agement. Be sure they know how to recognize the signs of worsening asthma and what to do about it. Summer is short enough; don't miss out because of poorly controlled asthma. Get out there and enjoy yourself! If you have asthma or are a caregiver for someone with asthma and would like more information, please call The Lung Association's Asthma Action Helpline at 1-888-344-LUNG (5864) and speak to a certified respiratory educator. You can also visit them online at on.lung.ca to download lots of free educational materials. www.newscanada.com Summer breathing… and some are finding it difficult durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 23, 201118 AP Sav eUp To90%!o 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSo 90%!e Up TavSSaveUpTo90%!

Even if the process trying to get there has been a bit of a nightmare. The Oshawa resident is coming off his best season as a pro, leading the Roches- ter Americans in scoring, the first time in the 55-year history of the franchise that a defenceman has held that honour. He also led the AHL in power-play goals for a defenceman with 11. But he’s wondering where his next stop will be. Without a contract and deemed an unrestricted free agent, he is facing an uncertain time. But it’s a position he’s been in before, not drafted into the OHL after playing minor hockey in the Ajax-Pickering Raiders system as well as junior with the Ajax Axemen, and he was passed over in the NHL draft after four years on scholar- ship at the University of Massachusetts. He faced this same situation last summer before finally signing a one-way contract with Rochester. It’s the nature of the busi- ness for a minor leaguer trying to make his way to the top. “It was a big reality check when I put up two good seasons in the American Hock- ey League and was still really struggling to find a job,” says Kostka of his two seasons with the Portland Pirates, the farm team of the Buffalo Sabres. “Basically I was scraping something off the bottom just to get my foot back in the door and keep playing. “Going through that, there was a lot of growing up I did. You figure a few things out and don’t take it for granted as much. Not that I did, you just realize how tough it is and how hard it is. I put two good seasons together and I didn’t think there would be any question I would get a job.” To get to this point, the 26 year old has had an interesting path. After moving on from the Ajax-Pickering Raiders program, he played two seasons of Tier II junior with the Ajax Axemen. As luck would have it, a university recruiter was in the stands to watch a goaltender by the name of Bryan Elliott for the Axemen, who was later drafted by the Ottawa Senators. It was the last game of the season against Newmarket, and the UMass scout took a liking to Kostka. He invited the teen to visit the school, and Kostka verbally committed that summer, since OHL teams bypassed him in the draft. “I obviously was disappointed, but wasn’t expecting to be drafted, so it wasn’t like I had high hopes,” he says of the snub. He spent the next season with the Auro- ra Tigers where he won an RBC national championship in that 2003-04 season. Four years at UMass followed, where he served as captain in his senior year. His big break came at the end of his junior season, as UMass qualified for the NCAA tournament in Rochester, where they beat Clarkson then lost to Maine in the quarter- finals, missing out on a chance to advance to the Frozen Four. His play impressed a scout with the Buffalo Sabres, who invited him to a rookie development camp that summer. He got some exposure, with no promises. Kostka, who’s six-foot-one and 210 pounds, continued to develop, and after graduating his senior year, signed a two- year deal with the Sabres, ending up with their AHL affiliate Portland Pirates. “I had two good seasons and put up good numbers as a defenceman,” recalls Kost- ka of his 4-26-30 numbers as a rookie and 2-25-27 totals the following year. “They said, ‘We’re happy with what you’ve done, thank you.’ They had some young defence- men that they were signing so we parted ways.” That led to last summer, where he strug- gled to find a job. He got married, received an offer to play in Germany, but held out for an AHL contract. In late August, the Flori- da Panthers came calling, offering him a one-way AHL contract to play in Rochester, with no chance of getting a call up to the big club. He took it. He led the team in scoring as a defence- man with 16-39-55 points in 80 games. So far, all it’s earned him is some teams kicking the tires, but not putting a contract on the table as the upcoming draft carries a prior- ity. “It’s a strange world,” he says of the vast array of experiences. “You can put up a good year and then you sit and wait. You want something you feel you deserve and you still have to scratch and claw for it. I think that’s what I’ll end up doing. “I’ve seen so many of my friends and guys in the hockey world go through crazy careers and turns of events that affect every- one. It’s a learning process, that’s for sure.” SaBrina ByrneS / Metroland OSHAWA -- Mike Kostka grew up in Ajax playing for the Ajax-Pickering Raiders, spent four years playing university hockey at the University of Massachusetts, and three years of pro in the AHL with Rochester and Portland. He is an unrestricted free agent this summer.

The Grade 12 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School flew out Wednesday after completing a couple of exams earlier in the week, hoping that he made a big enough impression on one of the teams to warrant his name being called. “I’m really excited to see what happens,” he said Wednesday morning, just an hour before departing for the airport. “I’m a little nervous to see what team wants me, if I get chosen at all.” His rating leading up to the draft has been all over the map, with TSN’s Bob McKenzie listing him 60th, Central Scouting has him at 104, an international scouting service pegged him 136, while the Hockey News has him unrated. While the mock draft rankings provide discussion for fans, Serville admits to following along just for the fun of it. “I do look at it out of curiosity to see where I am, but at the end of the day, it’s what team wants you the most and how early they want you. “It’s really iffy because I have been ranked all over the place. I do expect and hope to be drafted, but at the same time where I go, I don’t know.” He attended the recent combine in Toron- to with other prospects. While he didn’t par- ticipate in the exercise segment, he did inter- view with 16 of the teams who were trying to get a feel for who he is. “Every team varied,” he said of the process. “A lot of teams are really nice and a lot are try- ing to catch you to see how confident you are. It was all a good learning experience. It was fun. You have to enjoy it.” Regardless of what happens during Friday and Saturday’s draft, Serville has every inten- tion to enroll at Michigan University in late August to join the Wolverines hockey pro- gram on a scholarship. He will listen, how- ever, if the team that drafts him suggests he go the OHL route, where he was an eighth- round draft choice of the Sudbury Wolves in 2009. As for this past season, he had a long run with the Stouffville Spirit of the Ontario Junior Hockey League, where the team reached the semifinals before bowing out to the even- tual champions from Wellington. Serville had 3-27-30 point totals in 36 regular season games, adding 2-10-12 numbers in 19 playoff games. “Near the end I feel like I picked up my play and developed my game a lot, so I was real- ly happy with that,” he said in critiquing his play. While the weekend will be a glamorous one, it will be back to reality for Serville, who just turned 18 earlier this month, when he returns Sunday. There are still two more exams to write next week before graduating. PICKERING -- Today is the day Cory Joseph finds out the next step in his basketball career. The Pickering resident will be watching the NBA draft at the Prudential Centre in Newark, home of the New Jersey Nets, with a vested interest tonight, hoping one of the 30 teams in the league steps to the podium and reads off his name during one of the two rounds. Ranked anywhere from a first-round- er prospect, to a second, to getting passed over all together in mock drafts, Joseph has been busy in the days leading up to the draft, working out for teams in an attempt to showcase his skills and improve his stock. Last week he was close to home, working out for the Toronto Raptors. “I want to get drafted as high as I possibly can,” he said on NBA.com during a media scrum. “I wish that I get drafted high, but I don’t have any expectations. Where ever I go, I’m just going to make the best situation out of it.” Joseph, a former OFSAA champion with Pickering High School, took his game to Findlay Prep School in Las Vegas for two years before being recruited by the Univer- sity of Texas. As a freshman with the Longhorns, Joseph was named to the USBWA freshman All- America Second Team, All-Big 12 honor- able mention and the Big 12 All-Rookie Team. He led the Longhorns in assists (3.0 per game), steals (37 total), three-point field goal percentage (.413, 52-of-126) and min- utes played (32.4 per game), finished fourth on the team in rebounding (3.6 per game) and tied for fourth in scoring (10.4 points per game). After just one year of NCAA basketball, he opted for the NBA draft. “I felt like I was confident enough to do it,” he said of the decision. “I know my work ethic, I work hard, so I felt like I would be OK at the next level. I went into the draft to test the waters and I got some great feedback.” BasKetBall Draft day arrives for Joseph Serville excited for NHL draft to arrive HocKey celia Klemenz / metroland coming up for air UXBRIDGE -- Peyton Meddings, of the Pickering Swim Club, competed in a 50m freestyle in the Dr. Karim Nanji Uxbridge Invitational swim meet held at Uxpool. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • June 23, 201121 AP Ajax Men’s Slo Pitch as of June 13 Masters 45+ TEAM GP W L T RF RA PTS.

ATHENS, GREECE -- Two Durham athletes will be among those walking into Athens’ Kallimarmaro Pananthinaikon Stadium for the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games later this month. Catherine Partlow from Whitby and Ash- ley Boyd from Ajax will be among a group of 109 athletes and 42 coaches and mission staff representing Canada at the Games, which run from June 25 to July 4 in Greece. Both local athletes qualified during the 2010 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in London earlier this year. Partlow ran to four gold medals on the track, winning the 100m, 200m and 400m races, and also helping the 4x400m relay team to victory. Boyd swam to gold medals in both the 25- and 50-metre freestyle, and was also part of the 4x25m winning relay team. She also won silver in the 25m backstroke and bronze in the 100m free. The international competition is expect- ed to bring together an estimated 7,000 athletes from as many as 185 countries for competition in 22 sports. Canadians will compete in seven of the 22 sports, includ- ing 10-pin bowling, athletics, powerlifting, rhythmic gymnastics, soccer, softball and swimming. The ability to send such a significant del- egation of athletes is due to support pro- vided by 22 national sponsors and part- ners, including the federal government.
