Starting this month Meaning Making will have a monthly summary of events from the last month and a list of events coming up for the next month. If you have something you would like included for next month's addition, please let us know! Enjoy and thanks for reading!
What you missed last month:
Dinesh Braganza SJ facilitated a workshop in a technique called Core Transformation as developed by Connirae Andreas. It provides a way to resolve inner conflicts and bring oneself to experience inner harmony and alignment. I found the steps simple, but focusing on the body and getting out of my head challenging. After the two day training, I felt competent to practice the technique on myself. I have continued to practice the techniques, each time learning something new about myself. Since the workshop I seem, without any great effort, to appreciate and value myself more. This in turn has transformed how I interpret my world.

Joanne Miller had her final dissertation defense. Her dissertation is titled: "Counselor and Theological Identity Formation and the Ethic of Inclusion for Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Clients". Using interpretative phenomenological analysis she examined how Christian counselors-in-training engaged their theological beliefs about sexual orientation in relation to the ACA Code of Ethics. She found that the process of the participants accepting their ability to counsel lesbian, gay, and bisexual clients was facilitated by seeing the client as Jesus would and/or an increasing awareness of the counselor's limitations and control.

Drs. Mickey Fenzel and Tom Rodgerson spoke at the "Chat with the Chair" event. Topics included the Department of Pastoral Counseling and Spiritual Care successfully being reaccredited by the AAPC and CACREP, the launch of a community advisory board on how to improve the programs offered, and how the new computer program LiveText will benefit faculty and students. Additionally, an announcement was made regarding the opening of three full-time visiting faculty positions in the department. The remaining time was used to facilitate a discussion regarding the names of the department as well as the names of the degrees offered.

Oxfam Youth Ambassador returns from Darfur with a call to action for young Americans
Boston – Returning with first hand accounts on what it's like to live in Darfur, Nick Anderson, Oxfam Humanitarian Youth Ambassador, says more Americans – particularly young Americans – must learn about the ongoing violence and humanitarian crisis in Darfur and help support those who will be struggling to rebuild their lives and their homes.
"Wherever I went you could hear the sound of gun shots. There were armed men around every corner," said Anderson. "I couldn't understand how violence like that could be so routine." Commenting on conversations he had with a local he was traveling with, Anderson noted, "to me it's a disaster, to him, it's life."
In Kebkabiya, a small town that has seen its population swell to over 60,000 people after thousands settled there to escape attacks on their own villages, he spoke with young people, ranging in age from 14 to 20, who had been displaced from their homes and are living in temporary shelters. He asked them all the same question:
"If there was one thing you could ask Americans to help you with, what would it be?"
Anderson found that the responses varied little regardless of whom he asked. He heard two things consistently – the need for health care and technical training for jobs. The health care Anderson heard about is not what immediately comes to mind in the US.
"They need shovels to fill in holes and ditches in their schoolyards because during the rainy season, stagnant pools of water form and become breeding grounds for mosquitoes that carry infectious diseases like malaria. In addition, many of the young people in Darfur are looking for training in technical skills – things like carpentry and metalwork so they can get jobs and help to rebuild their communities," said Anderson.
Also, he observed that young people did not have any way to become active participants and leaders in their communities, to have a voice in what was happening around them.
"For teens in the US, there are so many ways to connect with each other and get involved in things that matter to us. In Darfur, so many of the young people I met would love to go to school, but don't because they can't afford it, or because the roads to the schools are unsafe and they worry about what might happen to them if they try to get to class," said Anderson. "For those who are able to go to school, that's all they can do in a day. Once they return from class, they have to stay at home since they are not allowed to leave their homes after dark because of security concerns."
Anderson approached Oxfam about going to Darfur after co-founding a successful national high school challenge to raise awareness and funds for Darfur by using the social networking site, Facebook. After helping to raise over $300,000, part of which helped to fund Oxfam's relief effort in Darfur, he felt the next logical step was to see the region for himself and bring his experiences back to share with other teens.
"I feel it is my moral obligation to be a representative of my generation, and to show that we have a strong voice and can take positions on important issues playing out here in the US and abroad," Anderson concluded.
Oxfam took Anderson on in this ambassador role as a reflection of his contribution to raising awareness on the crisis in Darfur and recognition of the opportunity to involve and educate the next generation of leaders.
Oxfam is providing vital assistance on the ground to about 500,000 people affected by the crisis, both in Darfur and eastern Chad. In addition, access to clean, safe water and sanitation as well as basic necessities such as blankets, soap, and jerry cans for carrying water are provided.
Oxfam also offers public health education programs to try and prevent the spread of disease; and, as the crisis continues, Oxfam is implementing projects to provide livelihood opportunities to help people find some alternative to the reliance on external aid.
In addition to its humanitarian relief efforts in Darfur, Oxfam is calling for a full and effective ceasefire by all the many parties of the conflict; better protection of civilians and aid workers, and improved humanitarian access so that aid agencies can reach those in need.

Mentoring New Teachers
Posted by: Bruce Robinson on Aug 29, 2010
Tagged in: students , Sonoma County , policy , legislation , jobs , employment , education , children , California
For school teachers, as in many other professions, there's no substitute for hands-on experience. But there are ways that experience can be shared, as new teachers in California are learning.
The North Coast Beginning Teacherprogram has been in place for seven years now, reports regional director Corrine Muelrath, and is now part of California's teacher credentialing process.
There are 560 new teachers currently in the mentoring program, Muelrath adds, a higher-than-usual number that reflects some of the uncertainties that school districts face in preparing their budgets without a state budget in place.
The area served by the North Coast Beginning Teacher program are shown in color on this map.

Oh, no, no, no, thought Clara Morrow as she walked toward the closed doors.
She could see shadows, shapes, like wraiths moving back and forth, back and forth across the frosted glass. Appearing and disappearing. Distorted, but still human.
Still the dead one lay moaning.
The words had been going through her head all day, appearing and disappearing. A poem, half remembered. Words floating to the surface, then going under. The body of the poem beyond her grasp.
What was the rest of it?
It seemed important.

Still manage to have sex 1x a week...sometimes 2 but 5-6 days apart.
So keep jacking off; find alternative positions for sex if you can; my experience found that when my wife first experienced pain during intercourse, the fear of that pain was as much a deterrent to her sex drive as was the reality of pain; so I don't know that you will find any completely satisfactory answer to your problem;
Good look buddy; as for me, I will keep the lotion and tissues handy...
Now I'm not saying that all the sperm which we produce has to be ejaculated -- I believe that unused amounts can be re-absorbed by the body. However, a good argument can be made for the wisdom of regularly moving one's male fluids along and making room for the fresh stock which is being created. If we can do that with our wives, girlfriends, &c - fine; if not, the hand-to-cock alternative works just as well.
For some couples it can be a matter of timing and schedules or just different levels of need. If you still have some need for release left it's time to make your fingers soldiers in the SLA (semen liberation army) and take care of things. Simple as that.

Montana photographer David J. Lewis attended the Paul's Junkyard Night Photography Workshop in April and produced a superb series of Mojave night photos on his trip. I was hanging out with David when he made the Flying Imperial photo, and this image turned out to be one of my favorites from the spring workshop. David's image shows careful attention to blending moonlight with light painting, balancing highlights and shadows, and has texture and line to spare.
Last month during the fall workshop I was working in this corner of the yard with another photographer. We were looking at different ways to shoot the 1959 Imperial, and due to all the piled up debris, a 3/4 shot is really the clear choice. The moon was in a nice spot and the clouds were wild. I set up and made the image below.
As more photographers shoot at Paul's Junkyard, we'll see more photos of the popular subjects. There is a certain satisfaction in being the first person to make a successful photo of one of the many iconic cars at Paul's. Kudos to David for killing it on the Imperial. Some photographers are more sensitive than others about setting up in other people's tripod holes. Learning night photography is the same as learning to play jazz in this respect. If you hear a great song, try playing it. Puzzle it out. Deconstruct the reasons it works so well. There's no trouble here, unless you're playing a cover song and calling it an original. The crucial part of this process is to take what you learn and make something of your own.
Speaking of original work, don't miss David's Night Scenes gallery. The night photographs of snow covered cars in a Montana junkyard are superb.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- As Florida State gets ready to return to practice Friday in preparation for next month's Orange Bowl, the post-season awards and honors continue to roll in for the Seminoles.
Junior defensive end Bjoern Werner has been the star thus far. The Berlin, Germany native has already earned consensus All-American honors (he had to be honored by at least three of the five All-American lists released by the Associated Press, AFCA, FWAA, Sporting News and Walter Camp) and could potentially become a unanimous selection once the FWAAA announces its 2012 All-Americans this Friday at 10 a.m.
Here's a list (as of Tuesday afternoon) of all the 'Noles honorees thus far.

Biking trail expands
FREDONIA, Ariz. — A popular mountain biking trail that overlooks the North Rim of the Grand Canyon is being extended.
The 18-mile Rainbow Rim trail on the Kaibab National Forest is a single-track trail that passes through ponderosa pines and drops into steep-sided canyons with aspen groves and small meadows.
Forest spokesman Patrick Lair says it's the only trail designed for mountain bikers that follows the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, although hikers and horseback riders use it as well.
Work to extend the trail by up to 8 miles to create a loop is set to begin in June, if funding is available.
The Rainbow Rim trail was constructed in the 1980s.
Cancun tops
NEW YORK — The Mexican beach resort of Cancun tops the list of spring break destinations for customers of STA Travel, which specializes in travel for students, college-age and young adult travelers.
Following Cancun on the STA list were Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic; Puerto Vallarta, also a Mexican beach resort area; Panama City Beach, Fla.; and Jamaica.
STA spokeswoman Teresa Cordova says the list is based on numbers of bookings by STA customers, who are mostly in the 18-25 age range, for all-inclusive spring break trips.
Many U.S. colleges have a week off from classes mid-semester, typically in March, and it's an annual tradition for some students — especially those from campuses in cold parts of the country — to spend the week soaking up sunshine and partying in warmer climes.
In recent years, however, some students have used their week off for other pursuits, including volunteering, week-long career-building externships, and adventure travel in places that offer hiking, extreme sports and other itineraries more challenging than lying on the beach.

I use a wired connection for all streaming from my NAS to my media player and don't have any issues. If you don't have a possibility for wired, you can look at ethernet over your power lines as an alternate solution. I've used that with success as well.
I went the NAS route to store all my media files (photos, music, DVDs in ISO format). This way any device or computer in the house can access the files. Additionally, I don't have to have a computer up and running every time I want to watch a movie or listen to music. I used to have an external drive hooked up to my media player before I got the NAS. I liked that as it provided fast access and there are no buffering issues using USB. However, I got sick of unplugging the drive, copying new files to it from the computer, hooking it back up again and so on. With the NAS, I just log onto my computer, rip my music from a CD or movie from a DVD and put it on the NAS and any device can see it (with security of course). I do the same with camera pictures - a feature my wife likes so she can have access to them from any computer.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — The Niagara County Legislature adopted a $322 million 2013 budget late Tuesday. The spending plan will drive a modest tax rate increase for most taxpayers.
Legislators' last-minute changes to County Manager Jeffrey Glatz's proposed budget resulted in a 2013 property tax levy of $73 million — $1.3 million more than this year's levy but still within the state's annual so-called tax cap.
Changes to Glatz's proposal including the raising of anticipated non-property tax income lines by about $1 million, and reduction of projected outlays — such as contingency funding and overtime across departments — by $260,000.
The adopted budget drives an average county tax rate of $7.72 per $1,000 of assessed value, a 9-cent or 1.16 percent increase over the 2012 rate. According to Real Property Director John Shoemaker, rates for individual municipalities are:
Cambria, $7.73; Hartland, $7.74; Lewiston, $9.43; Lockport town, $7.75; Newfane, $8.05; Niagara, $13.16; Pendleton, $7.96; Porter, $8.14; Royalton, $7.89; Somerset, $7.73; Wheatfield, $11.22; Wilson, $8.40; Lockport city, $7.74; Niagara Falls, $8.43; and North Tonawanda, $8.03.
Thirty-eight budget amendments were pitched, 25 of them by the three-member Democratic minority caucus. Taken together, the amendments would have produced a 0-percent tax levy increase, by cutting spending and tweaking non-property tax revenues to the tune of $2.6 million, according to Minority Leader Dennis Virtuoso, D-Niagara Falls.
About half of the Democratic amendments were sunk by 3-12 votes against, including the minority's annual call to eliminate three Republican-controlled patronage jobs/offices — the legislature's clerk and public information officer, and the county auditor — for savings of $271,000 on salaries, fringe benefits and office costs. As each proposed cut was taken up, GOP legislators went to bat for PIO Chris Peck, Clerk MaryJo Tamburlin and Auditor James Sobczyk, pointedly praising each appointee's contributions to county government.
Also rejected by the majority were amendments to restore six months of funding for two positions in the refuse district, a heavy equipment operator and an account clerk, whose posts are being eliminated on the prospect of the county closing its construction-and-demolition landfill next year; and the minority's bid to restore a part-time post in the Office for the Aging so that three Niagara Falls-area senior congregate dining sites can stay open five days a week, instead of being reduced to three days a week, next year.
During the meeting, Legislature Chairman Bill Ross, C-Wheatfield, read aloud a letter to the panel from the NAACP, Niagara Falls chapter, objecting to the dining site cuts. The letter observed that while there are 22 congregate dining sites countywide, only a few are "targeted" for service reduction and two of them are attended predominantly by minorities: African Americans at St. John's AME Church and Native Americans at Tuscarora House. If spending cuts are required, an equal cut to all 22 sites would be fairer, the letter said.
Despite all the votes cast along partisan lines Tuesday, the caucuses managed a show of cooperative spirit in the number of budget amendments that ended up being passed unanimously.
Among them was the minority's proposal to increase sales tax income projections by $900,000 next year, versus a GOP caucus proposal to raise the projection by $500,000. Legislator Tony Nemi, I-Lockport, withdrew the latter amendment and the body voted only on the amendment sponsored by Virtuoso, Jason Zona and Owen Steed, both also D-Niagara Falls.
The majority also backed the Democrats' amendment to reduce a part-time position in the Office of the Aging, for $10,000 savings, after the Office failed to persuade five congregate dining site owners to forego charging annual rent next year.
A "bipartisan" budget amendment, by Virtuoso and Ross, paved the way to four years of annual raises for newly re-elected Sheriff James Voutour. The sheriff's pay, $98,245 for each of the last four years, will be raised to $100,701 next year, $103,219 in 2014, $105,799 in 2016 and $108,444 in 2016. By law the legislature must set the sheriff's salary before his four-year term begins.
With budget adoption, the Legislature approved elimination of 35 full-time positions, five part-time positions and one seasonal post. Most but not all of the jobs were vacant; at least four nurses assigned to the county jail, and clerical staff assigned to the public health division, are being laid off this month.

Such stuff was what portly trenchermen of the Gilded Age associated with French cookery, and they were glad to get it. Oren isn't taking too great a risk serving it; Cote d'Or is his second foray into a heavier caliber of French food than New Yorkers were suspected of liking, and it follows on the success of Café d'Alsace, a restaurant not exactly known for spa cuisine. Philippe Roussel, the chef there, will also be in charge of the kitchen and dessert program at Cote d'Or. Italy may have taken over from France as the leading light of European gastronomy in New York, and nouvelle cuisine may have taken over what remains of the Gallic hegemony. But as long as someone in this freaking town is serving snails and coq au vin, we'll rally around to enjoy it.

Aurreeshae Hines had 18 points, six steals and five assists to help Jeffersonville get off to a good start to the 2013-14 season with a 65-46 victory at North Harrison on Friday.
Hines also helped first-year Red Devil coach Mike Warren get his first win in the Devils' season opener.
"We wanted to show him what we're about, and that what happened in the past has nothing to do with this team," Hines said. "I love everything about what [Warren is] doing and it seems to have worked instantaneously."
"Personally, it's fun for me," Warren said. "But this isn't about me. It's way more about the girls. They've had a tough-go of things the past couple of years. I knew what they were capable of doing. I'm just glad they were able to come out and prove it. I thought we played outstanding."
Hines' 18 points were a career-high. She went 7-for-12 from the field and didn't see the floor in the fourth quarter as the Devils held a 59-25 lead heading into the final stanza.
"I had a feeling she was going to have a really big night," Warren said of Hines.
Jeff jumped out to an 18-9 lead after one quarter despite Haley Vogen, Chelsea Lewis and Taylor Sykes each picking up two fouls in the opening period. None of them played during the decisive second quarter in which Hines had 12 points, three steals and a pair of assists.
"She stepped up and really carried the second team," Warren praised Hines.
Seventeen seconds into the second half, the Lady Cats drew within 18-13 after a Shayla Neal bucket that forced a Warren timeout.
That was as close as North Harrison would get. Hines led a 22-1 run and the Devils led 40-17 at the break. She opened the Jeff second-quarter scoring with a 3-pointer then assisted on a Nycia Ford fast-break layup.
Another Hines 3 was followed by a Catera Stevenson 3-pointer on a Hines assist and it was suddenly 29-13 Jeff.
After Ford scored on a pick and roll with Hailey Lacy and hit one of her two free-throw attempts, Hines scored on a Lacy assist then turned two steals into buckets in a 40-second span to give the Devils a 40-14 advantage before Megan Smith pulled North Harrison to within 23 with a 3 at the buzzer.
"I just wanted to find ways to pick my team up and help us get the win," Hines said. "I was happy with the way I played personally and what our team was doing."
After forcing 15 first-half turnovers, the Red Devils forced the Cats to turn the ball over nine more times in the third to take a 24-point lead into the final period.
Jeff had 19 steals, led by Hines' six. Lewis and Sykes had three apiece.
"We spend 60 to 70 percent of our practices on defense," Warren said. "We have extremely quick guards. That's going to be our calling card. I was glad to see it carry over to a game."
Despite foul trouble, Vogen had six points and she led the team with 10 rebounds.
"She needs to work on going straight up," Warren said. "That's something I'm going to keep harping on."

Today the Senate Republican Caucus is offering a package of rules scheduled for
debate during today's full senate session that if passed, would increase transparency and accountability within the legislative process. The package offered by Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester), Assistant Minority Leader Robert Hedlund (R-Weymouth), Senate Minority Whip Richard Ross (R-Wrentham), and Michael Knapik (R-Westfield), the Ranking Republican on Senate Ways and Means comes at a particularly important time due to the Senate already slated to take up many important issues for debate early in the legislative calendar.
Highlights of the Senate Republican Caucus' proposed rules package include:
- Requiring the Clerk of the Senate to post all roll call votes within 48 hours of a vote being taken;
- Mandating that any measure that proposes an increase in taxation by available in print and posted on the Senate website at least 7 days prior for consideration;
"We must ensure that the rules of the Senate provide as much transparency and accountability as possible as we face important issues. These proposals for change will not only ensure that members have access to information in a timely way, but also that the public has greater access to what transpires on Beacon Hill as well," said Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr.

They have been on mission trips before but this one was different.
There was no bringing supplies to villages or doing construction.
Matthew and Sarah Robertson spent most of their time from June 10 to July 24 in a ship's kitchen preparing meals for more than 400 people from 45 nations.
The ship was the 16,572-ton Africa Mercy, the world's largest non-governmental hospital ship.
At the time, it was docked at Las Palmas in the Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco. There, it was being prepared for a trip to the Congo where it will be docked for 10 months.
Surgeries and dental procedures are done for the needy aboard the vessel. There is a ward with 84 beds for patients. Workers also go ashore into villages and conduct clinics. Local medical personnel receive training.
Matthew said some Africans walk hundreds of miles for a surgery.
The Mercy Ships charity was begun in 1978 and since that time more than 2.4 million people have been medical beneficiaries.
The Robertsons, who live in Cataula, Ga., cooked for the doctors, nurses and other crew members, who receive no monetary benefit and must pay for their own needs, as did the couple. Some volunteer for years on the ship.
"We cooked lunch and dinner," Sarah said. "The work day was about 12 hours."
The Robertsons, who will celebrate their third wedding anniversary in December, own the Marco's Pizza restaurant on Double Churches Road in Columbus.
They are both natives of the area. Sarah, 24, was raised in Harris County and Matthew, 29, in Columbus.
They met at Wynnbrook Baptist Church where both led worship for youth. They currently attend My Church of Columbus.
Both have been on missions to places such as Costa Rica. As a teen, Matthew visited Africa. He said the trip left a big impression on him.
"It was then I decided I wanted to help others," he said.
He wishes more people could see the great poverty he has seen in other countries.
"It really grounds you," he said. "We are blessed as a nation. In this country, we take so much for granted. But it is not all about us."
His wife agreed.
"You see these people who have very little and yet there is a lot of joy. That is because their joy does not come from material things. It is a special mindset."
The Robertsons were inspired to go on the Africa Mercy by the story of Nick and Dianna Cash of Columbus, who sold their belongings and took their children to work in the program. The Robertsons know the Cash family through Teen Advisors, which employed both Nick and Dianna.
During their time on the ship, the Robertsons lived in a 10 x 10 cabin.
"There were no windows," Sarah said.
She said cooks had to be creative.
"We did not waste anything. If we had some chicken left over, we used it for chicken soup. We used everything we had."
Crews were doing maintenance on the ship so power was often lost as well as water.
"Losing power or water is not good when you are cooking for 400 people," Matthew said, laughing.
Using a laptop, Matthew was still able to run his restaurant from the ship and had great confidence in his employees back home.
Sarah said it was an "incredible experience" meeting people from all over the world.
While they were serving the crew, Matthew and Sarah were also serving God, the same as on other missions in which they have participated. They feel strongly that helping others is what they have been called to do.
"We love because He first loved us," Sarah said. "We are serving the body of Christ and feel fortunate that we are in the position to do so."


text: Bought the all out rush looking for a slightly different shoe than I was already using. I use the Trail Glove 2 and Ascend glove for trail running. After a recent injury I wanted a shoe with a nice bit of cushioning. When the shoes arrived first thing is that they look great in the dove grey and lemon colour. These shoes are sooooo comfortable! I now wear these everywhere! The thing I like about these shoes is the upper material which is really tough and a nice rubber toe bumper adds protection. I have never understood why companies still use flimsy breathable fabric fro trail running shoes which tears the first time you hit a stone. The shoe is really tough and is perfectly breathable for me. Overall I rate these shoes very highly. I find Merrell shoes a perfect fit for my feet compared to any other company. I do however have a couple of minor gripes. Firstly I do find these can be a bit to high off the ground for more technical running and you do need strong ankles as your feet do turn over occasionally due to the height. The other thing is the fit around the heel. There is plenty of cushioning and it is very comfy but these shoes lack the real glove like heel fit of shoes like the trail glove, which is a little disappointing. The lace system does however keep your foot very snug and secure within the shoe. The grip is also very good on all dry surfaces and even some of the wet stuff but im not sure it would be as good when the winter rains come round again. If your not sure then I recommend you give these a try. A great shoe. (A perfect shoe for me would be the same upper shoe as this which half as much stack height and a more claw like grip for the british winters, This shoe is however almost perfect for me for very long summer trail runs with maybe a little mud thrown in for good measure)

On a story about President Obama winning re-election, and a question asking how America will fare in the next four years:
• We're headed downhill even faster. No coal, no jobs, then what, no power? He's a joke — James C.

• Our country will be even worse over the next four years and we will head into a depression as bad as back in the 1940s — Karen S.
• Grimmmmmm — Darlene B.
• I foresee nothing good coming for America. Having said that, every coal miner in the nation should go on indefinite strike. Let the welfare bums that voted for Obama sit in the dark for a long time — Luke N.
• Stick a fork in us, we are done! Obama has done nothing but make things worse and anyone who thinks differently is entitled to do so but evidentially need to come out of hiding and take a look around.

• Not good — Mark F.
• Sinking ship ... get a damn life vest! — Rex O.
• Our area will suffer even more than it is now. Lots of ghost towns from lack of work — LaVonne C.
• The country will continue it's recovery from the Bush mess, Congress will continue pushing 1950s agendas to control a woman's health care instead of working to help America, people will continue to watch and believe propaganda like the farcical war on coal, everyone will still have all their rights and claim they are losing them, puppies will dance and kittens will meow. Business as usual except there will be no massive tax cut for the rich even though they spent three billion dollars trying to put Romney into office — Joe H.
On Nick Rahall being elected to serve a 19th term in Congress:
• This is a prime example of the need for absolute term limits for any and every position in government — Charles B.

If you look at the news these days, it seems like nothing but bad news --...
(BROCK TWP.) Mayor Terry Clayton is getting a little fed up with all the monkey business in Brock lately.
Just days after the Township was drawn into the ongoing fight over Darwin, the IKEA monkey, there's another potential battle brewing in Beaverton.
The Toronto Sun reported over the weekend that the municipality was poised to seize JoJo, a five-year-old macaque, from Beaverton resident Kelly Snooks.
While Mayor Clayton acknowledged that the municipality and the Durham Regional Police have both received complaints about JoJo, there's been no recent issues. In fact, municipal officials thought the monkey had been relocated outside of the township.
"We've had complaints in the past but we haven't heard anything in about a year," Mayor Clayton said.
"Those complaints were part of the reason that we drafted the exotic animal bylaw in the first place."
Under the bylaw, which was passed by Township council in February of 2012, monkeys are considered a prohibited animal but local residents may apply for an annual licence to keep them as a pet.
"We'd far sooner have the situation resolved than to seize her monkey. We certainly don't want it and would prefer not to get drawn into any sort of legal proceedings," Mayor Clayton said.
He encouraged Ms Snooks to follow the bylaw and apply for a licence.
"If she complied with the bylaw, there wouldn't be any issue. But at this point, she's made absolutely no effort to do that."
But that doesn't mean that municipal officials will be coming for JoJo any time soon. The first step, Mayor Clayton said, would be citing Ms Snooks for violating the Township bylaw.
"There is a process to follow," he said.
"Public safety is our first consideration and that includes the owners of these exotic animals."
If JoJo was eventually seized, Mayor Clayton said he would likely end up at the Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary on Concession 10 with Darwin.
"What is the Township going to do with a monkey?" he asked rhetorically.
Calls to Ms Snooks were not returned.

Republican Incumbent Edward Lindsey was easily elected for a fifth term with Tuesday's victory in the race for the District 54 State House seat.
And the Georgia House Majority Whip was hoping to bring along the passage of the charter school amendment with him. A strong proponent for Amendment 1, the Buckhead resident defeated Democratic challenger Lynn Brown McKinney Tuesday by garnering 63 percent of the vote with all 18 precincts reporting. Almost 22,000 votes were cast.
Lindsey should be pleased because it appears Georgia voters gave the state more authority over charter schools on Tuesday, likely passing a constitutional amendment empowering a commission to overrule local school districts that reject charter school petitions.
About an hour after the 7 p.m. polls had closed in Georgia, Lindsey was "hopeful," but wasn't ready yet to make an Amendment 1 election prediction during a GOP party at Fado in Buckhead.
"I spent a lot of time and effort working on that campaign; since the General Assembly finished its work at the end of last March," he said. "Hopefully we'll have a strong charter school amendment that will be the first step toward some really meaningful education reform in this state."
Later Tuesday evening to move into the "war room" and focus on other state House races across the state. Republicans entered Election Day looking to gain five House seats in order to attain the two-thirds "supermajority" threshold in the Legislature. Early results Tuesday seemed to indicate the GOP falling short of its supermajority goal, but nothing was official at this article's posting.
"I'm focused on electing good quality Republicans," he said. "We've got good quality Republicans running throughout the state and I think we'll do well tonight. … I'm proud to be on the ballot with all of them."
And he's looking forward to serving the 54th district, which includes portions of Buckhead, Brookhaven and Sandy Springs, for the next two years.
"You cannot separate transportation and education from economic development,'' he said. "They are all intertwined. We need to be focused on all three. In order to get those passed we've got to have folks who have faith in their government. And in order to do that we've got to pass meaningful ethics reform. They're all intertwined."
McKinney, a retired former IBM associate executive from Buckhead, campaigned on issues centered on education, the criminal justice system and health care. In an email, she congratulated her opponent and thanked her supporters:
"The move forward continues with President Obama in the lead. While I did not win here in GA, I personally "won" in many respects. With 37% of the vote, our voices were heard, we improved the process and we are just beginning to fight. I called and congratulated Representative Lindsey and let him know that I look forward to working with him as a citizen and as one of his active constituents. I am so thankful for all of your support, work and prayers."

Selena Gomez has been caught doing a Miley Cyrus. Like her fellow Disney darling Miley, Justin Bieber's lady-love has just been caught smoking a bong. Actually, she didn't have to get caught, she admitted it on national television. Relax everybody, unlike the former Hannah Montana star, Selena's bong puffing was all for the sake of art in her Toronto International Film Festival nominated movie, Spring Breakers.
Selena recently appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Show to promote Spring Breakers, and she casually threw out an interesting tidbit of information. She claimed she'd never hit a bong before doing it in the film. Seriously. Who says being a child star predisposes people to substance abuse?
"I'd never done it before," Justin Bieber's lady-love revealed. "It was funny, they had to teach me how to use it."
Interestingly, while La Gomez's bosses taught her how to use it, they weren't able to teach her to like it. Although, she smoked the "the fake stuff...like grass," she said it was so "horrible...it scared her away from trying the real stuff."
So, there you have it. Selena Gomez—the anti-Miley Cyrus.
Makes sense. As for what JB will say and/or do, he's probably proud of her for hating the experience. Unless of course, he's too busy laughing at the fact that she's managed to hoodwink the nation into believing she hasn't tried what most people her age tried, if not in high school, then certainly in the freshman year of college. In fact, Biebs himself may have already—No, no...that would be truly horrible.

The Daily Star
---- — Online comments detract from news articles
Having been a reader of The Daily Star most of my life, I would like to suggest that you turn off the website feature of being able to comment on each article. For years now I have read the online version of the paper and do not find much value in all of the online trolls that constantly drone on and on about their agenda in every article, including articles that are not even relevant.
These people can still have a forum for their opinion through the traditional letters to the editor. The trolling and majority of negative comments really detract from the articles being published. If you feel they should be kept on the site, at least relocate them on each article page to an area below the story such that you really have to scroll down to see them.
From what I see of the comments, the majority are from a very select few. There have been some great comments in stories from time to time and some interesting information added by others who had legitimate information to contribute, but the trolls' comments are old and worn out. I shudder at what people from outside the area think when they check in to the website. If you must keep the comments section, at least move them to their own section and not with the original story.
