But Cotton says the lepgue wanted the full nine, not six, home dates in Whitby. The Town could have collected a $450 hourly rentai fee fromi the Steel Hawks as well as, conces- sion proceeds. Cotton says that, as a Whitby resident, he would1 have prefer- red Whitbyaa home location, particularly sinice minracross continues te grow in Whitby. He also believes the Iroquois facility, with à seating capacity of about 1600, could have made money witk the Steel Hawks as a draw. However, he notes, "r'm not giný te have a battie with ynt%. "The main thing is that we're here in Durham Region." The. Civic also offers greater seating capacity, so there is an opportunity te grow, says Cotton.

A sud sppiredby the Research Institute (a national agency funded by Fitnesa Canada) offers some suggestions.

The. researchers _foud that --when-hoe individuasfCCur ion the, problem; they are morelkely te overcome the barriers te Participation. This approach could include effective communication with an instructor or thoughtful planning to evaluate the. situation and figure out ways te deal wvith it. When individuals with a disability believe that the. situation can't b. changed, they tend te, deal with it- in a more emotional way. Rather than focusing on the problem, they might avoid the issue and hope for a 'mi-racle.' Or they might distance themselveg from thé. problem, and try te forget the. whol. thing. The. work of docters Bouffard and Crocker shows that effective, coping sklls can help thos. with a physical disability te meet the challenge of regular activity.
