Here’s an update on where those requests are: • Pickering: While 2010 expens- es are not available, City staff has said previous years are but it will take time to compile them. • Ajax: Only three categories of expenses are permitted (transporta- tion, conferences, and meetings/com- munications) and figures were provided promptly, without an FOI request. • Clarington: In June, DRMG submit- ted an FOI request for expenses. We were informed it would take 21 hours of search time and preparation time with the fee quoted at $630. The municipality was asked to waive the fee, which it denied. DRMG is now paying a $25 fee to the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario to have it review Clarington’s decision. • Whitby: Has said the information can be made available free of charge but it will take time to compile the expenses. • Oshawa: Originally DRMG was informed by City staff after filing an FOI request that it would cost $452.60 to get the expenses for all 11 councillors. We then asked all councillors to voluntarily provide their expense report and five did. We then paid $293.60 for the expense reports for the remaining six councillors.

Durham police have adopted that slogan in announcing they’ll be out in force on the last weekend of the summer season, trying to ensure traffic on the region’s busy roads and waterways is managed safely. A weekend-long traffic safety blitz will focus on roads in the northern part of the region, keeping watch on motorists as they make their way to and from cottage coun- try. Officers are on the lookout for aggres- sive driving, drunk driving and other safety hazards. The marine unit will also be deployed, enforcing safety rules and clamping down on impaired operation.

Sam Odrowski, 12, suffers serious head injuries after fall CHRIS HALL chall@durhamregion.com PORT PERRY -- Sam Odrowski doesn’t recall much about the skateboard accident that left him with serious head injuries, but he does know that he wasn’t wearing a helmet. He faintly remembers zipping throughout Port Perry on his longboard on a warm and sunny Friday afternoon in July with a pal. Sam also remembers scouting Port Perry’s sidestreets for a suitable rolling roadway, a hill steep enough to provide a jolt of adrena- line for a thrill-seeking 12-year-old. His long- board, a stretched-out skateboard with larger wheels, was just a week old. Both boys, Sam and Jake, 15, had done a tre- mendous sell job on their parents, convinc- ing them the new-style skateboard was safer to ride than the other boards they’ve had in the past. Reluctantly, the parents agreed. So, with his longboard under his feet and a friend on sentry duty watching for oncom- ing traffic, Sam sought to conquer the slop- ing hill on MacDonald Street that ends at the Old Simcoe Road intersection. But once the wheels were in motion, the afternoon became a blur for Sam, and his family. Patching together what he remembers, along with what his pal recounts, Sam’s trip down the hill started off unevent- fully. The pair started off weaving from side to side, the sun beating down on Sam’s helmet- less head. But as the longboard roared down the hill, Sam recalled his trip becoming more and more unsteady. “I think I was in a speed wobble and I was trying to slow down, but I hit a crack (in the road) and flew off my board,” said Sam recently. He doesn’t remember hitting the ground hard, smacking his head on the pavement and rolling a couple of times before coming to a stop, face-down in a pool of blood. Unconscious for close to a minute, a dazed Sam was flipped over by Good Samaritans who stopped while driving by. Despite his insistence that he could walk home, Sam was quickly whisked away to the Port Perry hospi- tal. Across town, in search of bargains in Port Perry’s downtown, Sam’s parents were jolted from their afternoon of leisure by a ringing cellphone. It was the Port Perry hospital call- ing, seeking permission to start Sam on an IV drip. “I didn’t really want to guess on the way there, but when I walked into the hospi- tal room... I had to breathe and be strong because he was laying there, covered in blood from one end to the other,” remembered Ms. Odrowski. Sam was initially treated in Port Perry before being rushed to the Oshawa hospi- tal for a CAT scan. There, doctors diagnosed Sam with a skull fracture, bleeding on the brain and a brain bruise to go along with his broken left collarbone. He was later shuffled back via ambulance to Port Perry, where Ms. Odrowski recalled hearing the chopper blades of an air ambu- lance outside of the Paxton Street hospital. The air ambulance was for Sam, who was immediately airlifted to SickKids Hospital in Toronto and placed in a trauma unit for six days. Over the following days, Sam was repeatedly poked and prodded. On the third day, doctors flirted with the idea of surgery to relieve the pressure on his brain, but Sam’s condition slowly improved. Almost two weeks after his spill, Sam returned home. “We had a good outcome, but there’s so many people in (SickKids) that won’t,” noted Ms. Odrowski. By Frank Murphy’s estimate, as many as 300 people in Durham Region suf- fer some type of brain injury each year. Between 25 and 30 of those injured will hurt themselves falling off a bike or skateboard or tumbling while inline skating. “Certainly we believe anyone using skate- boards, bikes and so on should be wearing a helmet,” said Mr. Murphy, executive direc- tor of the Head Injury Association of Durham Region. Studies show that helmets can prevent seri- ous injuries in about 85 per cent of all falls resulting in a blow to the head, he continued. Life has changed for Sam Odrowski. The bleeding on his brain is stable and his parents hope a Sept. 22 fol- low up with doctors will show continued improvement and allow him to continue his Grade 8 studies at Immaculate Conception Catholic School. If he ever does convince his parents to let him once again ride the roads, he’ll do so with a helmet. That much he promises. “You should wear a helmet,” said a sheepish Sam.

But as many papers have discovered, sto- ries about Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other forms of social media are extremely popular with their readers. In Durham, I recall one story by report- er Jennifer Stone on fake Amber Alerts on Facebook and Twitter grabbing the most- read slot on durhamregion.com on mul- tiple occasions. Every time a fake Amber Alert circulates online, the story would once again gain in popularity. Another story gaining traction now is the report of a rumour spread via Twitter that there was a bed-bug infestation at a Toron- to theatre to be used during the upcoming film festival. Ultimately, it turned out the venue was bed-bug free, but the rumour appeared on entertainment blogs and news sites around the world. In the first example, Jennifer wrote about a generic hoax that makes the rounds every now and then. Her fake Amber Alert was about an Oshawa kidnapping, but other place names around the world have been used in similar cases. The story was the Facebook hoax. With the second case, Twitter was the story because it showed how quickly a rumour can spread around the world. By the time festival organizers debunked the story, it had been shared and read by thou- sands of people. But as exciting and atten- tion-getting as stories about social media can be, it’s important to make sure we don’t make social media the story when it’s something else altogether. One recent example is this headline I read in the Globe and Mail this week: Face- book message prompts torture, kidnap- ping allegations. The story was about a man in California accused of imprisoning his girlfriend for days after reading a message on Facebook. Police say the man accused the woman of having an affair based on the message. Now, a savvy reader in the comments section of the Globe wrote the following: “I’m not a Facebook kind of person but Facebook is really and truly incidental to this horrible story, all implication to the contrary.” He’s absolutely right. The alleged crime is about domestic violence, not Facebook. Had the story been about a man reading an e-mail or overhearing a conversation instead of reading a Facebook post, it likely wouldn’t have made headlines in Canada. Another case in a Colombian town is a little more complicated. At issue is a Face- book death list where three teens whose names appeared on the list of 69 have been killed. Families of the others rushed to get them out of town. Now obviously, Facebook is in no way responsible for the deaths, but it seems striking that the murderers chose use that venue to publicize the list. However, had the list been sent to a local newspaper, I’d say it would still draw a lot of attention, possibly of the international sort. The famous Marshall McLuhan phrase is that the medium is the message, but in the world of social media, I’d argue the medi- um isn’t always the story. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Friday in this space. Contact her on Facebook, Twitter (@rszekely) or e-mail at rszekely@durhamregion.com When social media is news, the story can sometimes get lost The unofficial start to fall arrives Tues- day when thousands of Durham Region students stream back to school. They arrive armed with new pens and pencils, perhaps a stylish new backpack, and dreams of academic and social suc- cess. But the new school year also often coincides with a spike in pedestrian injuries, even fatalities, as the students make their return to familiar routes and routines. Motorists in Durham Region are asked to show courtesy and patience when they hit the road Tuesday morning, to drive defensively, and contribute to the safety of children and teens at cross- walks, signalled intersection and local side-streets across Durham Region. Consider this: child pedestrian inci- dents are a leading cause of death for Canadian children under the age of 14, according to Safe Kids Canada, the national injury prevention program of the Hospital for Sick Children. Every year more than 30 children are killed and 2,400 are seriously injured. Most incidents happen between 3 to 6 p.m., when drivers are coming home from work, and children may be walking home from school or activities. And younger children are at a high- er risk of being injured -- or worse -- because of their limited cognitive skills and ability to make quick, safe judg- ments. In that context, drivers are fully in control. By minding posted speed limits, ensuring safe distances between cars and safe stopping distances at intersections and stop signs, motorists can do their part to promote safety and security on local roads. They are sole- ly responsible for the pressure on their accelerators and their brakes. Mind the children you see at bus stops, gathering at crosswalks, engaging in horseplay on the boulevards, or crossing at signalled intersections. Pedestrians, too, have an obligation to observe the rules of the road. Don’t cross busy roads between intersections, wait for the walk sign at intersections before crossing, clear the bus loading zone to a safe distance after disembark- ing at neighbourhood stops. At cross- walks, wait for the guard’s whistle and all-clear before making your way across the road. If everyone takes individual respon- sibility for their actions, the start to a new school year can pass uneventfully, allowing children to focus on their stud- ies, and motorists to go competently and safely about their business. Here’s wishing every student in Dur- ham Region a safe and exciting return to a new school year, new friends and new teachers. Be careful out there.

By minding posted speed limits, ensuring safe distances between cars and safe stopping distances at intersections and stop signs, motorists can do their part to promote safety and security on local roads. They are sole- ly responsible for the pressure on their accelerators and their brakes. Mind the children you see at bus stops, gathering at crosswalks, engaging in horseplay on the boulevards, or crossing at signalled intersections. Pedestrians, too, have an obligation to observe the rules of the road. Don’t cross busy roads between intersections, wait for the walk sign at intersections before crossing, clear the bus loading zone to a safe distance after disembark- ing at neighbourhood stops. At cross- walks, wait for the guard’s whistle and all-clear before making your way across the road. If everyone takes individual respon- sibility for their actions, the start to a new school year can pass uneventfully, allowing children to focus on their stud- ies, and motorists to go competently and safely about their business. Here’s wishing every student in Dur- ham Region a safe and exciting return to a new school year, new friends and new teachers. Be careful out there.

That’s why it’s best to bring in a professional, someone who can pinpoint the problem and repair it right the first time. Gordon Crawford of Crawford & Sons Waterproofing in Ajax has been in the business for more than 30 years and has been in close to 15,000 homes in Durham region. “I’ve seen virtually every possible leaking situation you can imagine,” he says, “and I’m still learning.” Crawford’s extensive experience has taught him to be innovative and try different techniques to solve problems. He takes pride in his troubleshooting ability. “I like to professionally solve problems at the lowest, most reasonable cost to the customer,” he says. “Sometimes that may involve excavating the entire perimeter of the house and replacing the weeping tiles, but that’s because it’s absolutely necessary.” Crawford adds that if he can try something else first, he will. “An interior weeping tile system with drainage board can be extremely efficient and cost effective by saving costly damages to exterior landscaping,” he says. Crawford warns that it’s important not to ignore the problem. He says homeowners who invest in their foundations will save money in the long term. “Water corrodes and people tend to live with the problem until it escalates into a bigger one,” he says. “You have to get in quickly.” Crawford & Sons offers fast, neat, efficient service and a free professional evaluation.

DURHAM -- Durham Region’s health department is making it easier for smok- ers to butt out with two free cessation programs this fall. The programs, being offered in Oshawa and Brock Township, are aimed at sup- porting smokers as they make the effort to kick the habit. “Research shows that the majority of current smokers want to quit, and we’re here to help,” said public health nurse Shelly Munro. “We hope participants will learn to identify current smoking patterns in order to better understand triggers that lead to smoking, and what can be done to handle them.” Participants will attend an information session followed by six weekly group meetings. They’ll discuss strategies for quitting, including nicotine replace- ment therapies. The Oshawa group meets at the Wyn- field Long Term Care Residence on Woodmount Drive, beginning with an information session Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. Weekly meetings occur on Tuesday eve- nings in October and November. Call 905-666-6241 or visit www.durham.ca. Brock’s group meets at the Cannington arena. An information session is sched- uled for Sept. 16 and weekly meetings will be held Thursday evenings.

Changing home smoke alarm batteries at least once a year is a must for every home but it isn’t the only way to make your home more ﬁ re safe. “As we saw in a recent Ipsos Reid poll conducted on behalf of Duracell, only 26% of Canadians surveyed said they would be removing potential ﬁ re hazards from their home as part of their 2010 spring cleaning,” said Victoria Maybee, external relations manager for Duracell. “Duracell’s ﬁ re safety message to all Cana- dians is to never underestimate the importance of re- moving ﬁ re hazards from the home and to take action today that can help make a difference in preventing a ﬁ re emergency.” Targeting ﬁ re hazards now within your entire home, as well as the garage, garden and patio, is an important step before the winter weather hits, says Kidde Canada home safety expert Carol Heller.“Look around and re- move potential hazards including ﬂ ammable debris that can collect around a chimney or ﬁ replace, and prop- erly store propane barbecue tanks and gas containers,” says Heller. “Also have your heating systems checked by a licensed professional and ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms have fresh batteries. Replace smoke alarms over 10 years old and CO alarms that are 5-7 years old, depending on the manufacturer.” More home ﬁ re safety resources and tips are avail- able online at www.duracellﬁ resafety.com. The Ipsos Reid poll was conducted Jan. 15 to 20, 2010 and is based on a national sample of 1,011 adults from Ipsos’ Canadian online panel who were inter- viewed online. www.newscanada.com Carbon Monoxide: Did You Know?

Terry ran through the City of Pickering,” said run organizer Kevin Cahill. In fact, in July 1980, he passed along the portion of road in Pickering where the group walked. After dipping his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean on April 12, 1980, Terry Fox attempted to run across Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific. However he was forced to stop in Thunder Bay on Sept. 1, 1980 due to the return of his disease and he died in 1981 at the age of 22. The goal today is the same as it was when Terry Fox ran, raising money for cancer research. “That’s the key, we want to find a cure,” said Mr. Cahill, who has been volunteering with the Pickering run since it started in 1988. Since then Pickering resi- dents have raised about $735,000 and Mr. Cahill is hop- ing the community can come together and raise up to $25,000 this year. Over the years, the Terry Fox Foundation has raised more than $550 million. During that time people’s chances of winning the battle against cancer have increased from about 33 per cent of people surviving in the 1960s to 60 per cent today. “We will not rest until a cure is found,” said Mr. Cahill. The Pickering run begins at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 1867 Valley Farm Rd. with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m. and the run kicking off at 9 a.m. Among the speakers at the event was Pickering coun- cillor Bill McLean, who three weeks ago had the lower left lobe of his lungs removed due to lung cancer. Coun. McLean said he’s happy to say the cancer was detected early and he’s cancer free. “If it was not for the Terry Fox Foundation and other cancer foundations, early detec- tion would not be possible and lives would be lost.” In Ajax, organizer Matthew Leduc said the local run started in 1982. “The fact that something like this has been around 30 years shows it really resonates with Canadians, he really was a guy looking for a solution to a problem that was close to him,” said Mr. Leduc. Though the size of the Ajax run has varied over the years, Ajax has raised about $469,000. Mr. Leduc is hoping with a little extra effort, the community will hit $500,000 this year. The Ajax run starts and ends at Rotary Park on Lake Driveway West and also opens for registration at 8:30 a.m. with runners hitting the scenic waterfront trail at 9 a.m. “The lake path we have is second to none and this is a great opportunity to enjoy the waterfront we have and take part in the community,” said Mr. Leduc. Every year before the run Mr. Leduc does some door- to-door fundraising and he said he always encounters someone who says they saw Terry Fox pass through Durham. “And they sort of reminisce about how it was this really large effort but small scope when it first began, it was just one guy, and they talk about how it’s become so big,” he said. “(It) represents Canada and Canadians around the world. Wherever you find a large group of Canadians, you find a Terry Fox Run.” For more information about the Pickering run: CALL 905-509-5668 (Kevin Cahill) VISIT www.terryfox.org TERRY from page 1 30TH ANNIVERSARY Terry Fox Run in Pickering on Sept. 19 RYAN PFEIFFER / METROLAND Flying flags for a hero AJAX -- Dozens lined the Harwood Avenue Hwy. 401 overpass for the repatriation ceremony for Cpl Brian Pinksen, the latest Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan, on Sept. 2.

MOVIES Ajax Film Circuit’s new season begins Mao’s Last Dancer screened Sept. 8 AJAX -- It’s time for a night at the movies in Ajax. The Ajax Film Circuit begins its new season on Sept. 8 with a showing of Mao’s Last Dancer. “(It’s) a true story of a brilliant young Chinese ballet dancer who defects to the West,” states the cir- cuit’s Barry Butler in a press release. “The film was an official selection of the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was acclaimed for its down-to-earth treatment of what could have been an arty film.” The Ajax Film Circuit is a proj- ect of the Friends of the Ajax Public Library in conjunction with the Toronto International Film Festival Group. Films are screened one Wednes- day a month from September through May at the Ajax Cineplex Odeon, 248 Kingston Rd. E. at Salem Road.

S tudy IDs Pickering for arts centre Durham West Arts Centre Foundation holds open house KRISTEN CALIS kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- If all goes accord- ing to plan, local artists, as well as those from all over the world, could be performing in a large venue right in the heart of Pickering. More than 100 guests attended an open house at the Pickering Civic Complex Aug. 23 hosted by the Durham West Arts Centre Founda- tion. While the Durham West Arts Centre (DWAC) already has artists offering exhibits and programming and has a temporary location at the Greenwood Library, the founda- tion is working to build a perma- nent arts centre. The goal of DWAC is to support, promote and present world-class, contemporary arts and culture. “Through education, presenta- tion and partnership we will con- tinue to develop awareness and engagement in the arts, increase our audience and membership, be sustainable and champion the intrinsic need of arts and culture to our community,” the DWAC web- site states. The event in Pickering includ- ed artwork by Dorsey James, Edward Falkenberg, Sharon Stein- haus, Cheryl Bannister and Robert Hinves and music by the Durham Youth Orchestra string quartet, Heartstrings. “They did a fabulous job,” said Erin Michel, DWAC Foundation project manager. Duncan Webb of Webb Manage- ment Services provided an update on the study his company is con- ducting on whether an arts centre in west Durham is feasible. His presentation noted a number of groups would be able to use such a space, and that a permanent arts centre would affirm west Durham’s position as a regional centre and would support residential, retail and commercial development, increase the quality of life and sup- port a vibrant cultural community. “It definitely stressed the need that there is to have a facility in the area that people can use,” Ms. Michel said. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, hon- orary chairman of the DWAC Foun- dation, agreed. He and other coun- cil members attended the event. “It was very promising,” he said in an interview. “There’s no question in my mind that it’s going to happen.” And it’s very likely Pickering will be the home. “Definitely we’d like to have it in Pickering,” said Ms. Michel. “The needs assessment study is point- ing that Pickering would be the best place for it, somewhere in the downtown vicinity.” Mayor Ryan said it would be a great addition to the municipal- ity. Pickering may have a shortage of soccer fields and baseball dia- monds, for example, but the city has a downright cultural vacuum, Mayor Ryan said. The study is scheduled to be com- pleted sometime in October. “Soon, hopefully, we’ll be able to make that announcement as to planning to put a shovel in the ground,” Ms. Michel said. In the meantime, DWAC has a number of events coming up. The foundation is also accepting ideas and comments regarding a possi- ble arts centre.

PHOTOGRAPHY New photography club forms in Ajax Registration night Sept. 8 AJAX -- Shutterbugs, take note, Ajax has a new club. The Ajax Photography Club holds an open registration night on Sept. 8. The club formed after a group of local people met with a Town of Ajax representative to discuss the need for a photography club in the area and found there was “an over- whelming interest. “The goal of the APC is to foster an atmosphere of friendship and learning among people sharing a common interest in taking photo- graphs,” states a press release. “The club will accomplish this through workshops, seminars, outings and assignments.” For the time being, membership is limited to roughly 60 people, with 85 per cent of the members Ajax residents. Club membership is open to anyone over 16 years of age and for the 2010/2011 season costs $70. The registration night is from 7 to 8:15 p.m. at the Carruthers Marsh Pavilion, 55 Ashbury Blvd. (at the corner of Audley Road South), Ajax. Afterwards, a short seminar, Camera 101, will be held for begin- ners followed by a question-and- answer period. To learn more about the club, visit www.ajaxphotographyclub.com.

The New Horizons band program doesn’t have a typical member, but a love of music would certainly be a constant. An international music day program originally designed for older adults, the Durham program has welcomed mem- bers ranging from their 20s to their 80s. Some played music in high school or col- lege and want to get back into it, others are students looking for musical oppor- tunities, still others have no background in music whatsoever. At the other end of the spectrum, some have been playing an instrument for most of their lives. They’ve come from Pickering and Toron- to and Scugog and all across the area. Music director Lynda Shewchuk says any- body in the region is welcome to join. “We’d like to try and get the word out more in the Oshawa area,” she says. “We certainly welcome anyone from the area that’s interested.” “There are community bands all over the place but they’re kind of a different kind of thing.” There are five New Horizons bands in Durham. Shewchuk notes there are “three, concert-type bands,” one for beginners, an intermediate-level band that the begin- ners feed into and a senior band. New Horizons also offers a Dixieland band, its newest, which started last year, and a jazz band. Of the latter, Shewchuk says “we’re probably going to expand that next year to offer a beginner jazz program.” Each band practises once a week at 9:30 a.m. at St. Paul’s United Church, 178 Church St., Bowmanville. While only percussion instruments are supplied in the program, if your dream is to play the saxophone or the trumpet, fear not. Shewchuk says they can arrange for newcomers to rent an instrument and the cost is reasonable. New Horizons has three sessions a year: a fall session from September to Christ- mas, a winter session from January to the end of March and a spring session from April to the end of June. The cost is $50 per session plus $25 for each band a member plays in. “I think most of them feel that it’s well worth it for what they’re getting out of it,” Shewchuk says. “We’re a teaching band, so they’re get- ting instruction.” The bands have performed at seniors’ residences and in combined concerts with the Clarington Concert Band. A member of the latter, Shewchuk is a former music teacher at Bowmanville High School. You can learn more about the New Hori- zons band program at an information day on Sept. 8 starting at 9:30 a.m. at St. Paul’s. Members will be on hand to answer ques- tions and share experiences. You can also call Shewchuk at 905-623- 5927.

The hockey organization will host an Ontario Hockey League exhibition game between the Oshawa Generals and Bramp- ton Battalion on Wednesday, Sept. 15 at the Pickering Recre- ation Complex. The game will feature a couple of local prod- ucts who came up through the system in Andy Andreoff of the Generals and Ian Watters of the Battalion. With home-grown talent to watch on opposing teams, it’s a good example for the young hockey players about the pos- sibility of junior hockey in their future. “Exactly. That was the idea behind it,” says Pickering minor hockey president Gary Wat- ters, whose son, Ian, will be a focal point. “Last time when we did this, in Pickering alone we had about 600 from our asso- ciation show up. Groups from every team bought tickets and it exposed them to junior hockey. “It helps the Generals too because it exposes everyone here to Generals hockey.” A couple of years ago, Pickering hosted a pre-season game between Brampton and the Belleville Bulls. The fund- raiser brought in about $9,000, and the organization is looking to match that amount this time. Proceeds will be donated to the Durham Dragons special needs hockey program, and to a Euro- pean trip the Bantam Double-A team will be taking over Christ- mas to the Czech Republic, Aus- tria and Germany. The associa- tion has been sending a team overseas for 27 years. “The Generals and Bramp- ton were talking about doing a game and it came up that we’ve done one before,” says Watters of how Pickering landed the game. “With the two Pickering kids, they said, ‘Hey, let’s do it there.’” The Durham Dragons will play an intrasquad game beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 15, with faceoff between the Generals and Battalion to follow at 7 p.m. Ticket information can be found on the Pickering Hock- ey Association website at www. pickeringhockey.com.

New York Rangers prospect excited for new season SHAWN CAYLEY scayley@durhamregion.com COURTICE -- It was just over a year ago that Pickering’s Chris Chappell realized a dream and signed a contract with the NHL’s New York Rangers. Since then, however, it’s been a long, tough road travelled thanks to some injury issues. But taking that route to a desired destination is noth- ing new for Chappell, who was an 11th round pick of the Sagi- naw Spirit in the 2004 OHL draft before going undrafted by NHL teams on a couple of occasions prior to signing with the Rang- ers. This time was a little different though. His professional career under- way, Chappell was working hard to establish himself with- in the Rangers organization. After starting the year with the Charlotte Checkers of the East Coast Hockey League, Chap- pell earned a promotion to New York’s top affiliate, the American Hockey League’s Hartford Wolf- pack. Step one was completed. However, after six games with the Wolfpack, Chappell found himself back in Charlotte at the end of November. Then, his hopes of returning to the AHL were dashed as the 22-year-old suffered a shoul- der injury that required surgery in January, thus ending his sea- son. “It’s been a long summer for me,” Chappell said in an inter- view late last week, following a conditioning skate in Courtice with Mary Giacalone of Scary Skate. “It felt good to get back on the ice after being deprived of it for so long.” Chappell was skating along- side a host of other pro play- ers, including Nashville Preda- tors defenceman Joel Ward and earlier in the week Chris Stewart of the Colorado Avalanche and Pickering native Wayne Sim- monds of the Los Angeles Kings, among others. While Chappell, a six-foot- two, 212-pound forward, enjoys training with the likes of those players during the summer, he points to the games he was able to play prior to injury last sea- son as the best learning tool he can look back on heading into this season. “It was good to get those games in,” he said of his limited action in the pro ranks. “Now I know what it takes to succeed at the professional level. I have been working really hard this summer getting ready for it. I am looking forward to getting started.” Chappell will leave home and head to New York on Sept. 16 for Rangers’ training camp and now that he is healthy and fired up once more, the former Pickering Panther is ready to let his play at camp determine where the Rangers assign him to start the season. “I haven’t heard,” he said of the Rangers’ plans for him. “I am just going to go in there and do my best and see what hap- pens.” durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • September 3, 201022 AP Friday, September 3, 2010 Ajax & Pickering Locations Flyers in Today’s Paper If you did not receive your News Advertiser/fl yers OR you are interested in a paper route call Circulation at 905-683-5117.

SOCCER Lords add Ajax native to roster Luke Morrison joins men’s soccer team OSHAWA -- After more than 100 wins over a dozen seasons of coaching the men’s soccer team at Durham College, Stan Bombi- no has developed quite a winning recipe. And heading into the 2010 OCAA season, Bombino thinks he is building a team that will con- tend for the Lords’ fourth provin- cial title. “Training sessions opened up (recently) and I was very pleased with the quality of players that attended,” said Bombino in a press release. “We have an excel- lent group of freshmen joining our veterans this year, who will fit well into our system and style of play.” Among the new recruits are Dur- ham Region players Luke Mor- rison of Ajax and Whitby’s Mike Bowerman. Morrison joins the Lords after playing with the Ajax U21 men’s team in the Ontario Provincial Soccer League. Morrison is a tal- ented player who brings size and strength to the team, according to the release. He will be enrolled in the pre- service firefighter education and training program. Bowerman, meanwhile, comes to the Lords after playing in the competitive Central Soccer League for a number of years. Bombino will look for the mid- fielder to immediately take a lead- ership role for the squad using his strength and knowledge of the game. The Lords’ regular season open- er is scheduled for Sept. 25.

The CJGA held its annual skills competition (driving, chipping and putting) to open up the event and Pestell came first in both driving and putting. The tournament was then held the following two days, with com- petitors playing nine holes per day. Pestell put together a pair of great rounds, carding a five over 41 the first day and four over 40 the second day. On the second day, Pestell fell behind early, but rallied to golf even par over the final six holes to earn a silver medal. During this rally, Pestell missed a hole-in-one on hole number 7 by about half a centimetre. For the season overall, Pestell entered 13 tournaments in which he won five gold, four silver and three bronze medals. Those efforts in this, his first season, earned Pestell first place on the CJGA Canadian Order of Merit. The youngster now turns his attention to Pickering Panthers hockey, and cross-country run- ning at Maple Ridge Public School where he will be entering Grade 4.

YOUNG, James (Jim) H. - After a 10 week struggle with a sudden illness, Jim passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday August 31st at the age of 64 in Lakeridge Health Hospital. Loving son of Mae Young & predeceased by Elgin Young. Beloved husband and best friend of his wife Lee, cherished father of Jason & his wife Kim & the awesome "Bubba" of grandchildren Brandon and Jordyn. He will be sorely missed by his brother Bob (Jane), nieces & nephew, Robyn, Todd, Jackie & families. His brother in-law, Bob & Dianne Cunningham of Florida will miss him terribly as will their children - Ray, Michael and Mark & their families. He also leaves behind many special people in his life - Gayle Powell, Julie (Jube) and Rob Hodgeman & their children Madison and Jacob, Mary Alexander from Port Elgin, Bob & Maria Thorpe & their sons Ryan, Christopher & Daniel. Jim has touched so many lives during his exceptional career as a caring, dedicated, fun-loving teacher/principal where children always came ﬁ rst. He spent many hours happily watching his grandchildren pursue their various sports and interests. Memorial Visitation will take place at THE SIMPLE ALTERNATIVE FUNERAL CENTRE, 1057 Brock Road, Pickering (905- 686-5589) on Saturday September 11th, 2010 at 10 am until the time of the Memorial Service, being held at 11 am in our Chapel. As Jim spent the majority of his personal & professional life dedicated to the enrichment & betterment of the lives of so many children & their futures, in lieu of ﬂ owers donations to the Children's Wish Foundation seemed the most appropriate choice.

The Stix finished first by a six- point margin after posting a record of 15-2-1, good enough for 31 points. En route to the first place finish, the Stix scored a league-high 330 runs, includ- ing 16 in their final game of the season, a 16-5 win over the Rel- ics. Their runs for and against dif- ferential was also tops in the league at plus-118. They were the only team to break 100 in that category. Antiques finished second in the league with a 12-5-1 mark for 25 points. The Antiques closed their season out with a 17-14 victory over the Chuggers. Just behind them in third place was Eastmen with an 11- 5-2 mark and 24 points. Their chance to finish second was dashed when they fell 8-2 to the Chuggers on the final day of play. Speaking of the Chuggers, they finished a single point back of Eastmen in fourth place with an 11-6-1 record. The Sharks and Sweat Sox, meanwhile, finished tied for fifth with 17 points thanks to identical 8-9-1 records. However, since the Sharks won the head-to-head between the two teams two games to one this season, they were awarded the higher finish. Rounding out the standings were the Slugs at 3-14-1 and the Relics, who went winless all year long.
