Richards Staff Writer Athletes from across Ontario will be playing soccer soccer and baseball in Clarington, if Durham's bid for the Year 2000 summer games is approved. Neighbouring Durham municipalities will host other events ranging from water-skiing to lacrosse, field hockey and archery. A committee organizing the bid for the games has selected 'proposed' venues which each community is able to realistically provide. So far, it has been proposed proposed that Clarington will be the venue for male soccer and baseball players. There is a possibility of also pro viding a venue for sailing. However, Whitby and Pickering also want a piece of that action. In the end, Clarington was recommended to host sports which can be based throughout the municipality, including Kendal, Orono, Bowmanville and various other locations. Oshawa will provide venues for the opening ceremonies, ceremonies, track and field events, archery at Camp Samac, men's basketball, shooting, and the final games of beach volleyball. Ajax will host male rugby, female baseball and basketball. Brock will provide venues for water skiing, female rugby games, and male softball. Pickering will pick up the field lacrosse games, volleyball, and female soft- ball. Scugog will host rowing, lawn bowling, canoeing and beach volleyball. Uxbridge will get lawn bowling, female soccer, and beach volleyball. Whitby gets tennis, indoor lacrosse, and field hockey. The cycling portion of the games is to be held Durham-wide. Currently negotiations arc underway to decide the site for the closing ceremonies, ceremonies, the athletic dinner, and a volunteer appreciation event.

Box 190,62 King Street West, Bowmanville, Ontario, 11 G 3K9 Second Class Mail Permit No. 1561 Municipality Announces 1998 Grants to Community Groups by Laura J. Richards Staff Writer It took over two hours, but Clarington councillors finally doled out $53,825 to 32 local organizations at a committee session Monday. The biggest single grant went to the Newcastle Community Hall which is slated to receive the requested $13,200 to go towards operations and the finishing of the wood floor in the main hall. Next in line was Clarington Community Care which received $5,500, as was requested. Receiving $2,400 is Belliesda House, the local shelter for abused women with or without children. Organizations which will receive $2,000 are: the Oshawa/Clarington Association for Community Living; Clarington Youth Council; Courtice Teen Drop-In Centre; the Bowmanville Santa Claus Parade; the Tyrone Community Centre; and the Tyrone Athletic Association. The municipality tabled a request from the Clarington Older Adults group for $20,000. The councillors will look at that request on Monday, June 1, during the next regular council council meeting and will review the group's financial figures. They will probably go with a $2,000 grant, instead of the full amount requested. The Clarington Recreational Hockey organization received $1,750, while the Clarington Minor Hockey Association Association got $1,200. The Orono and Newcastle Figure Skating Clubs will take home $1,500 each, as will the Clarington Swim Club. Receiving $1,000 arc the Durham Countryside Adventure; Friends of the Second Marsh; the Durham Central Agricultural Society, the Senior Citizens of Newcastle; the Clarington Orioles Baseball Club; Ontario Volunteer Emergency Response; and the Lions Club of Courtice which received a one-time grant. Grants for under $ 1000 were given to the St. John Ambulance ($400); the Solina Community Centre Board ($500); the YWCA ($275); the Clarington East Food Bank ($450); Residents' Recreational Activity Program ($700); Helping Hands Food Bank ($450); the Orono Athletic Association ($450). The three local horticultural societies societies will receive $350 each towards their activities. Five organizations were denied grants. They are: the Intercede Diversion Program for $1,200; the Native Cultural and Community Centre of Durham Region for $1,000; Courtice Masters Swimming for $4,500 and the John Howard Society for $5,000. The Devries Family Singers requested SI0,000, but were denied. The money would have gone towards paying for the group's expenses. All of councillors fought hard to ensure that certain groups and projects projects in their wards were not left out of the municipal grant process. At the beginning of the meeting focusing on the municipal grant allocations, allocations, Mayor Diane Hamrc observed: "In this municipality we have a stronger grant program than others because we have the strongest volunteer pool." She added there was a time "when we gave more money." But, due to downloading from the province in recent years, the policy put into place of grants to community community groups amounting to $2 per capita has fallen to the wayside. Since the downloading, "the former former council decided to wean groups off the grants," Mayor Hamre explained. Clarington has set aside a total of $65,000 for municipal grants. The remaining $11,175 "will sit in a contingency contingency fund to draw upon during the rest of the year," Mayor Hamrc stated.
