InformatIon Durham residents can have their say UoIt launches d urham-wide quality of life survey KrIsten CalIs kcalis@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Research enthusiasts at the Univer- sity of Ontario Institute of Technology hope to get a good grasp of Durham’s quality of life, but not without the public’s help. Dr. Hannah Scott, asso- ciate professor in the fac- ulty of social sciences and humanities, is the direc- tor of the Centre for Eval- uation of Survey Research at UOIT. CESR recently launched a Durham-wide online survey, and faculty and students hope people from all municipalities and walks of life across the region will take part. “We’re interested in tak- ing the temperature of Durham Region and see- ing how (the residents are) doing,” Dr. Scott said. She hopes both rural and urban dwellers will participate, offer- ing future researchers an opportunity to compare the different ways of life. The anonymous and confidential survey will include simple questions such as occupation, age and gender, and more specific questions about feelings of health, men- tal health, trust and well- being. The results will be used not only for future UOIT research projects, but could benefit businesses and the public sector, Dr. Scott says. It could be a handy tool for small businesses by getting a good sense of who their clientele is, or for the Region of Durham to get a better sense of who the residents are. “Certainly the univer- sity will benefit, the com- munity will benefit,” she says. CESR will also write reports on the findings once all of the data is col- lected and analyzed. Dr. Scott encourages those without Internet access to fill out the sur- vey online where Internet is free to the public, such as libraries. The survey is open until July 20. to find the survey VISIT cesr.uoit.ca Certainly the university will benefit, the community will benefit.

Beginner, intermediate and advanced players are all welcome at the club, which meets Fridays at 7 p.m. at the Petticoat Creek Library. The game is fairly easy to learn, with basic instructions accessi- ble to players as young as six years old. Chess has also recently come into the spotlight for its education- al value after a two-year study by IBM in the U.S. found that learning chess improved reading test scores and performance in elementary schools. The Pickering Chess Club will be hosting an open chess tournament at the Pickering Recreation Com- plex on Sunday, July 17 at 10 a.m. For more information or to reg- ister, call 416-817-8619 or e-mail aboutchess@gmail.com. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 7, 20115 AP T H E DRESSLOUNGE Not valid in conjunction with any other promotion.

Brian Ronson, 43, of Ajax, was taken to hospital but died of his injuries follow- ing a collision with a car on Thursday, June 30. Mr. Ronson was riding his motor- cycle south on the York-Durham Town- line, where it merges with Regional Road 5, when a westbound Mazda attempting to turn off the regional road collided with the bike around 8:30 a.m., police said. The driver of the Mazda was not hurt. As a Toronto firefighter of more than 20 years, Mr. Ronson was remembered with a full honour guard following funeral ser- vices scheduled for Thursday at 11 a.m. at Forest Brook Community Church in Ajax. Visitation was held at Barnes Memorial Funeral Home in Whitby on July 6. Fore! Pickering Golf Course set to expand two-hole addition would bring course back to full nine PICKERING -- In preparation of a 2012 re- opening, the Pickering Golf Club could soon be adding to its course. After selling a portion of its lands for devel- opment purposes, the Pickering Golf Club is proposing to expand prior to reopening for the 2012 golf season. The sale left the club, which formerly boasted a full 18-hole course, with just seven holes. At the City’s planning and develop- ment committee meeting on July 4, Pickering councillors voted on a proposal for a zoning amendment that would allow the addition of two holes. The expansion lands are part of a larger 50-hectare property that fronts on Taunton Road immediately east of the Pickering Golf Club in the Duffin Heights area. According to the club’s website, improvements planned for the 2012 season include adding a pond between former holes 13 and 14, an irriga- tion system throughout the course, adding sandtraps and rebuilding greens. Environ- mental measures are also planned to mini- mize the impact of the expansion. Councillors voted to approve a staff rec- ommendation to amend the zoning. A final vote will be held at the July 11 council meet- ing. A Metroland Media Group Ltd.

Anyone who watches CNN or Headline News is familiar with the case, as it’s been intensively covered by the Ameri- can media. For those who aren’t familiar with it, Florida mother Casey Anthony was charged in the 2008 death of her daughter, two-year-old Caylee. It was a bizarre story. The toddler was missing for a month before her grandmoth- er called police to report her missing. Ms. Anthony came up with a string of stories to explain the disappearance, including saying she was with a babysitter that never existed. The child’s body was later found but no cause of death was ever determined. The defence argued that the child accidental- ly drowned in the family swimming pool. The inconsistencies in Ms. Anthony’s story were attributed to the fact that she was sexu- ally abused by her father, a claim her father would deny. At the conclusion of the trial Ms. Anthony was found not guilty of murder, but was convicted of a much lesser charge of lying to police. In addition to trending terms like #not- guilty, #caseyanthonyverdict and defence attorney ‘Jose Baez’, key words related to other famous trials started trending includ- ing Johnnie Cochran, who defended O.J. Simpson and Scott Peterson, who was con- victed of murdering his wife Laci. The Anthony case was closely followed via social media, starting with a strange plea from Caylee’s grandmother via MySpace even before she reported the tot missing. In the July 2008 message she talked about her daughter stealing money and said she wasn’t allowed to see her granddaughter. Shortly after she reported Caylee missing. People fascinated by the trial followed it closely via Twitter and there are dozens of Facebook groups related to the case. I was speaking to a co-worker recently and she said she signed up for Twitter last week- end solely to follow the verdict and said she had friends who did the same. I asked her why she followed the case so closely. “She’s just such a cute little girl, how can anyone do that to a little girl?” she said of Caylee. And while Ms. Anthony was declared not guilty of murder in a Florida courtroom, the reaction via social media shows the court of public opinion has reached a different ver- dict: guilty on all counts. Everyone from regular joes with a hand- ful of followers to celebrities like Kim Kar- dashian (@kimkardashian), who has more than eight million, tweeted to express their shock at the verdict. Celebrity justice site tmz.com pointed out that Ms. Kardashian’s shock was somewhat ironic since her father also served on the O.J. Simpson defence team.Still as a former Miss USA (@shandi- MissUSA) tweeted, this won’t be the end of it for Ms. Anthony: “What can #CaseyAn- thony do now? Who the %#@$ would hire her with this reputation? Her life is ruined. #NotGuilty #JusticeServed”. Maybe. But as the O.J. Simpson case shows, there’s a world of difference between facing the death penalty and living free albeit with a dark cloud hanging over you.

Reka Szekely Casey Anthony verdict dominates social media streams Ornge arrival in Oshawa a boon to Durham Region Prudent negotiation, a winning sales pitch and top quality aviation-based amenities are bearing fruit for the city of Oshawa and Durham Region. Ornge, a provincial provider of trans- port medical services, confirmed Wednesday it has chosen Oshawa as its site for a needed southeastern base to serve patients requiring emergency med- ical care. Residents from around Dur- ham are likely familiar with the bright orange helicopters that occasionally fly overhead, en route to medical emergen- cies, or carrying patients to hospital for life-saving interventions. As noted in an editorial earlier this year when it was announced Oshawa was a candidate site for Ornge, Oshawa and its municipal airport is perfectly situated for the organization to cover a vast geo- graphic area quickly and efficiently. Oshawa Municipal Airport manager Stephen Wilcox noted in April that an air ambulance based here can reach 4.4 mil- lion people -- nearly 36 per cent of the province’s population. The local airport also has necessary aviation components: a NAV Canada control tower, nearby fire rescue services, 24-hour fuel service and radar coverage to 3,000 feet. Those state- of-the-art services will allow Ornge to more effectively manage the approxi- mately 20,000 calls it receives annual- ly for its helicopters, airplanes and land vehicles. To prepare for Ornge’s arrival, a han- gar at the airport will be renovated for medical transport purposes. Overall, the arrival of Ornge, along with the requisite renovations required to meet its needs, should translate into local employment gains, and material or supply purchases from local businesses. It will also fit well with the other aviation enterprises on site at the airport. In a related context, Ornge’s pres- ence in Oshawa will serve to improve critical response times within Durham Region and surrounding municipalities for those seriously injured in a crash, for example, or for those who require an air- lift to reach a facility that offers complex medical care. Congratulations and credit are due to Oshawa staff and councillors for devis- ing a winning strategy to bring Ornge to Durham Region, particularly since Oshawa was not the preferred location earlier on in the process. This decision by Ornge represents a victory for the City and Region in suc- ceeding with their ‘open for business’ approach. Let us welcome this important medical service to the city and region, celebrate its presence, and wish it every success. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 7, 20117 P from Page 1 “When I first met Tyson in 2009 I was in a room where everyone was going to be seeing him for the first time,” said Leonard Henry, Tyson’s great-grand uncle. “I remember he had this won- derful smile on his face because he was surprised with so many peo- ple seeing him for the first time. He interacted so well we could only find one little word to describe him, nice. He was just nice. Today, when I came in I called out his name, but Tyson didn’t answer. And I looked in the coffin and again I saw surprise on his face, as if he was saying ‘why?’” Other friends expressed anger at the young man’s tragic end. Chris Peppey, who read out W.H. Auden’s ‘Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,’ called the incident senseless. “I’m having a hard time accept- ing his passing, so I decided I won’t,” he explained to the crowd- ed church. “I can’t mourn until I deal with this impossible anger at such a tragic and life-altering loss.” But the gathering crowd also celebrated Mr. Henry’s life. His grandfather, Sommerville Henry, spoke of a young man who loved sports and had a mischievous side. “His growth pattern was ahead of his years, he walked early and talked early,” Mr. Henry said, not- ing that his grandson took quickly to soccer. “In Henry family tradition, he was exposed to soccer at a very young age. As he grew older he frequently got in trouble for turn- ing the house into a soccer pitch, and hitting most of his targets.” He also spoke of his grandson’s lifelong love of music, which had culminated in a burgeoning hip hop career. Tyson Henry, known as “Piff”, was just finishing his first album and had been filming a music video the night he died. The elder Mr. Henry went on to paint a portrait of a young man with a renewed sense of purpose thanks to a newfound career in tiling, courtesy of the Hammer Heads program, and a great love in fiancee Samantha Ring. “Tyson was now a happy man, he took pride in his work and was loved by his employers,“ he said. “It’s unfortunate that Tyson’s life came to an abrupt end in the most unfortunate way. As he lay there at Samantha’s feet, Tyson looked up at his true love and said his last words, ‘call 911.’ It’s accurate to say of Tyson that he lived fast and died young. For me, he was much more than just a grandson, he was my closest friend. You and I and all of us have suffered a tragic loss but we should seek comfort in the fond memories we share of Tyson and his colourful life.” Uncle Homer Henry touted Tyson’s big heart and willingness to love as a lesson for everyone. “One lesson Tyson was teach- ing me was how to show your love for family,” he said, fighting back tears. “Tyson’s love was so open, so big and so kind that it seemed effort- less and I was in awe and inspired by it and I’m so grateful to have received it.” Mr. Henry’s renewed sense of purpose was partly credited to his recent graduation from Hammer Heads, which helps connect youth in Toronto’s prioritized neighbour- hoods with careers in construc- tion. Classmates, instructors and mentors from the program were a visible contingent at the funeral thanks to their black helmets. “Tyson was full of energy and very vibrant,” said James St. John, business manager of Cen- tral Ontario Building Trades and director of Hammer Heads. “He needed a direction and through Hammer Heads he was able to find that. Once he gradu- ated he was great at coming back and talking to the next classes and mentoring them as well. He was one of our ambassadors, help- ing us spread the word that when opportunities are presented in these cities there are a lot of young people that just need that kind of opportunity, and Tyson made the most of his.” As the hearse made its way to Mr. Henry’s final resting place at Duffin Meadows Cemetery in Pickering, family, friends and Hammer Heads lined the drive- ways of the church in silent salute, the Hammer Heads with helmets held fast over their hearts. Tyson Henry remembered as loving young man Ryan PfeiffeR / MetRoland AJAX -- Mourners, including the Hammer Heads, made their way into Pickering Village United Church for the funeral service for Tyson Henry Wednesday morning. Mr. Henry, 22, died of his wounds after being stabbed during an altercation at the corner of Parkham Crescent and Colmar Avenue around 12:45 a.m. on July 2. Mr. Henry took part in Hammer Heads, a program that connected young people in Toronto with careers in trades. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 7, 20118 P CounCil Motorsports Pickering finds new home City takes opportunity to plan for future road needs Moya Dillon mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- Motorsports Pickering could be moving to a new home on the Kahn Auctions property, pending an agreement for a future road conveyance. At the City’s planning and devel- opment committee meeting on July 4 councillors discussed a pro- posal from Henry Kahn for a zon- ing bylaw amendment to allow Motorsports Pickering to operate a recreational vehicle sales and service establishment out of an existing building on his property at 2695-2699 Brock Rd., for a tem- porary term of three years. “We’re asking to utilize an exist- ing building for other than auction uses because the auction business today is not a viable business,” Mr. Kahn explained. “We are not developers, we’re not bringing forward any devel- opment, all we’re asking is to use an existing building for Pickering Motorsports.” Mr. Kahn said he disagreed with a staff recommendation that a draft temporary zoning bylaw to implement the amendment be enacted upon receipt of an agree- ment from the property owner to “convey certain lands for a future road connection.” “If I was a developer putting for- ward a development plan I would consider it,” he said of the convey- ance. “I’m not asking council to approve a development plan, I’m just asking council to approve the use of an existing building as it stands.” Under the Duffin Heights Neigh- bourhood plan, a new 22-metre collector road is planned for the northern limit of Mr. Kahn’s lands, which would connect William Jackson Drive with Brock Road and then connect with Tillings Road. When questioned by councillors, Neil Carroll, director of planning and development, explained that the zoning amendment request afforded council an opportunity to secure those lands at no cost to the City. “There could be development in the Duffin Heights area around this property that could neces- sitate the need for this road con- nection; it’s a pretty important collector road for that area,” he explained. “We’re saying we want to pro- tect the City’s rights to get that land, so this says we’ll hold off for three years for a request to convey that land. This agreement would simply give us the right to take it if it’s needed at that time. If this request is not imposed then Mr. Kahn would get the three years of temporary use and that’s it, there’s no ability at that time to get a road conveyance, so the City will be waiting for a full-fledged devel- opment application to come for- ward.” Should no application be forth- coming and the land was required, the City would then have to look at other means “outside of the pro- cess of development application,” Mr. Carroll said. Other means, such as expropri- ation, could end up costing the City, whereas a conveyance would allow the land to be transferred to the City for free. A motion by Councillor Kevin Pickles to delete the requirement for a conveyance of land was defeated. Councillors voted to approve the recommendation for a zoning bylaw amendment. A final vote will be held at the upcoming regular council meet- ing on Monday, July 11. We are not developers, we’re not bringing forward any development, all we’re asking is to use an existing building for Pickering Motorsports.

Trustee Braney also volunteered to be an alter- nate on the special education advisory committee. The well-spoken trustee contributes to discussion, but doesn’t use the board table as a soap box. On a board with a lot of new trustees, Mr. Braney is in a position to bring a wealth of veteran knowledge to the board- room and hopefully he will continue to do that in the next three years. Chris Braney Paul Crawford Trustee Paul Crawford, re- elected to the board after an abscence, will have to do more to stand out from the pack in the next three years of his tenure. While most of the new blood on the board volunteered to sit on at least one of the non-mandato- ry committees, Trustee Crawford only stepped up to be on the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association as an alter- nate. In order to be more of a player, Trustee Crawford will have to speak up more around the table and involve himself more in the public process. attendance: special board 1/1 Board 6/7 Committee 6/6 expenses: $4,604.01 attendance: special board 1/1 Boardl 6/7 Committee 3/6 expenses: $2,178.14 Grading system A- to A+ Excellent, best among peers B- to B+ Solid performance C- to C+ Average in most categories D- to D+ Needs improvement overall F FailureB+C 2010 grade B 2010 gradeN/A Editor’s Note: Attendance figures are for meetings that took place between May 31, 2009 and June 1, 2010.

Feed me!” That’s what those raspy cries of birds are all about right now. The unmusical ones you hear coming from the shrubbery in your yard, where fledglings of many species are hiding out, begging their parents to come stuff a nice fat caterpil- lar or insect in their mouth. Over- worked dads racing about trying to find protein sources for grow- ing babies are too busy to sing as they did a month ago, so dawn in Durham Region is quieter in July. Of course, some migrants pro- duce a second brood, and many non-migrants carry on raising babies all summer, so you still hear stalwarts singing in the early hours. Male cardinals continue to deliver their emphatic whistling at first light, then go off to start feed- ing tail-less babies, while their mates incubate the next clutch of eggs. Some of the loudest “big babies” calling for attention these days are Baltimore orioles. Our local pair have been teaching their young how to drink from our humming- bird feeder, by grasping a hole in the slippery plastic and leaning over to suck nectar from the one opposite. A local male hummer manages to grab sips between oriole pig-outs. Mourning doves are still sing- ing on and off throughout the day. I watched one try to pick up a strand of dog-strangling vine, an invasive plant I’d dug out of the yard and thrown in the driveway to die. She dragged it around for a while, trying to get a good hold, then went on to a shorter, more manageable piece. I watched her fly up into a pine tree and arrange the vine on a branch where she’s building what’s likely nest num- ber three by now. A white egg- shell dropped on a path nearby indicated a neighbouring batch of dove babies had just hatched. The local robins have finished feeding their second batch of nest- lings, who are now madly grow- ing, and learning all the tricks of the thrush trade. I came upon two robins crouched motionless in a grassy patch near a woods the other day, feathers fluffed and wings spread. They were sunning themselves -- dad showing junior how to take care of that all-impor- tant suit of clothes. I was really surprised to hear an intricate song at the Danforth GO station on Canada Day, in the middle of the afternoon. A mock- ingbird on territory? I walked to the far end of the platform, waiting for the train, and heard another mockingbird answer- ing. And one singing as I crossed the station parking lot in Oshawa. These excellent singers, south- erners already profiting from global warming, have followed railway lines and hydro corri- dors all the way to Sudbury and Moosonee, settling in wherever there’s enough berries and fruit to keep them going through winter.

But Second Chance, along with two other local groups, hope the living arrangements may change for some of the animals at an event this Saturday. The Pickering Public Library is hosting a Pet Adoption Day at the library’s Central Branch, One The Esplanade, on July 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The library has partnered with Pickering Animal Services, the Humane Society of Durham Region and Second Chance, to hopefully find loving and forever homes for some of the animals. Adoptable animals will be on the second floor auditorium, and rep- resentatives from all three groups will be on hand to answer ques- tions. The event is being tied to Pass the Book, a program offered by Dur- ham’s public libraries, which aims to foster discussion and communi- ty through shared stories. This year, it’s Stories from the Vinyl Cafe, a book made up of small episodes from the lives of a record store owner Dave, his wife Morley, their children, pets and neighbours. One of the stories, The Pig, is about Dave and his family deal- ing with their guinea pig’s expen- sive but operable medical needs. “They adopted this guinea pig to be part of the family. I think every family needs a little fuzzy fam- ily member itself,” said Jennifer Zoethout, adult service librarian, who made the adoption event her “pet project.” Ms. Healey said issues such as future costs should be kept in mind when adopting a pet. “It’s a lifelong commitment,” she said. “It can be 15 to 20 years. You’ve got to be dedicated. When they get sick, you have to be pre- pared.” Ms. Zoethout said the library has many resources to help new pet owners take proper care of their new pets. “We’ve got books, we’ve got mov- ies, even The Dog Whisperer tele- vision show,” she said. Lindsey Narraway of Pickering Animal Services says the shelter is currently caring for about 30 cats and two dogs, a Rottweiler and a Golden Retriever -- both about a year old -- and hopes they’ll find forever homes. “Even though they’re treated very well at shelters and foster homes, it’s not the same as going into a permanent home,” she said. “At a shelter they’re not getting the same amount of love as they would in a home.” Ms. Healey suggest- ed looking beyond just kittens and toward some older animals in need of a loving home, adding they can be a great companion for seniors. Ms. Narraway had similar thoughts. “When you see kittens a lot of the time, their true personality doesn’t come out until they get older,” she said. “If you know you’re a per- son who likes a cat to sit on your lap, for example, there’s a better chance to look at the personality of an adult cat.” Learn more about Second Chance at second-chance.ws, Pickering Animal Services at cit- yofpickering.com/animals and the Humane Society at web.humane- durham.com.

The board passed a total operating budget of $249.6 million and a non- operating budget of $13.6 million at the last meeting before the summer break. Operating revenues, mostly Ministry of Educa- tion grants, are also set at $249.6 million. “It’s safe to say we have a truly balanced budget,” said director of education Paul Pulla at the meeting. He said the budget was achieved by “keeping stu- dents our number-one priority.” After a five-year deficit reduction process, with the help of the system stakeholders, the finance committee and the pub- lic, the board has reached its goal, said superinten- dent Ryan Putnam. “We’re very pleased that for the first time in over 10 years we have an oper- ating budget that is truly balanced, and doesn’t have reliance on operat- ing reserves,” he said. The board tried to focus on what the public wanted in the budget, as opposed to what to cut, Mr. Put- nam said, but it didn’t come without challenges. “As it’s the final year of the budget reduction plan, it’s always most dif- ficult to implement the final changes,” he said. Highlights include con- tinuous support to expand French Immersion, funds for full-day kindergarten, and a stable level of infor- mation technology funds. But in order to reach the goal, the board cut 15 staffing positions, as opposed to the 30 origi- nally expected. Mr. Put- nam said the decision was made early enough to give six-month notices. A decline in enrolment of 787 students, equal to about $1.6 million in funding, also meant a nat- ural reduction in teach- ers. But the board projects enrollment stability in the next couple of years, and although the decline is evident, it’s not acceler- ating, Mr. Putnam said. Three years ago, enroll- ment was down by 1,000. The number of elemen- tary teachers has gone from revised estimates of 834 last year to 802 (down by 32) this year, and sec- ondary teachers have been reduced by 13, from 570 to 557. There will be five new positions for early child- hood educators to accom- modate full-day kinder- garten. Salaries and benefits are set at $197.9 million, up from 195.4 million in 2010/2011. photo by peter redman Keeping cool PicKERinG -- Four-year-old Gregory Mole kept cool at Pickering’s Beachfront Park water play area. temperatures reached the high 20s with good weather predicted for the rest of this week. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 7, 201112 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%!

However, your denturist is the most qualified person to tell you when a denture needs replacing. An annual consultation to have you prosthesis checked and cleaned can prevent many problems, among them the bad habits that denture wearers develop and that require adjustments, a new base, or even complete replacement. The following are signs that your prosthesis needs attention: it does not adhere to your gums as well as it used to, it is loose, does not cut food well, makes your face look older, has yellowed, or it causes discomfort or pain. There are also many other clinical problems with an old prosthesis that only your denturist would notice. Because he constructs your prosthesis himself, the dentur- ist actually minimizes the impact of such changes. Thus, when replacement is indicated, he makes sure your new den- tures conform to the changes that your face has undergone over time. All new dentures require an adjustment period, which is entirely normal. Your denturist can give you tips on how to shorten this adjustment period and make it easier. Remember that wearing dentures that are 10 or 15 years old inevitably causes change in you physiognomy that are often irreversible. The longer you delay replacing your den- tures, the more your appearance and your comfort will be affected. These are changes that occur very gradually and without your really noticing. When was the last time you saw your denturist? Pickering Denture Clinic Andre Maragh, DD (Denturist) 1792 Liverpool Rd. Pickering 905-420-2652 Your Denturist and YouWhen Should you Replace Your Dentures? Let’s Ask The Podiatrist Cool foot tips during the hot summer We all tend to make New Year’s resolutions to exercise, lose weight and watch what we eat. But our motivation only seems to kick in with the start of summer. There’s nothing like warm weather to encourage us to get outdoors, even if it’s only to begin a walking program. As with any new exercise, if you are over the age of 35, you should get a medical evaluation before beginning. A great way to ease into an exercise routine is to start walking. Walk-ing not only burns fat, it tightens muscles and lowers lipo-protein cholesterol levels. Our walking rate as we go about our daily activities is approximately three miles per hour. The average person should walk at a pace of about one third faster (four miles per hour) to reach a desired exercise heart rate. We need to protect our feet, therefore a good walking shoe is very important. It should provide the most flexibility at the middle of the sole. While walking your feet do not require the same impact protection as when you are running, so your soles do not have to be thick. Before you begin walking, it is always a good idea to start with at least five minutes of stretching exercises. After you stretch, begin walking slowly. Do so for about five minutes to increase your heart rate. Then walk briskly for about 25-30 minutes decrease in speed to cool down and then five minutes of stretching to prevent stiffness and increase fl exibility. Never wear ankle weights. They will put pres-sure on your joints that evolution never anticipated and are sure to cause future problems. Safe walking is great for all ages. Here are some summer exercise tips to get you ready for your warm weather wardrobe: 1. Dress appropriately for the temperature. Wear light coloured loose fitting clothes. Always wear a hat with a visor and use sunscreen with an SPF of a least 15. 2. Drink a lot of water before during and after the walk. Don’t wait until you are thirsty, by then it’s too late and you may al-ready be dehydrated. 3. Give yourself time to adapt to warmer weather. Exercising in the summer heat puts more strain on the body. 4. Walk in the morning or early evening when it’s cooler and traffic is lighter. 5. Make sure you are visible when walking at night. The greatest threat to the health of a walker is an inattentive driver. Wear bright clothing with reflective tape on your arms, front and back. Also carry a flashlight. 6. Avoid busy streets. Carry only enough money for a phone call or emergencies. 7. Obey the rules of the road. Like any form of exercise, walking should be done in moderation, every other day. If you are concerned about the weather outside, you can always mall walk. Most malls are open early in the morning. 686-43433 Harwood Ave. S., Ajax, DR.

After three top-10 performances in his first four events on the Canadian Junior Golf Association tour this year, Pestell broke through with a podium fin- ish and a bronze medal in the event held at the Deer Run Golf Course in Little Britain. He was only five shots behind the gold medal winner Alex Pineo from Lakefield. His stellar season last year, which included five victories, resulted in him receiving the Canadian Order of Merit as the top eight-year-old golfer on the Canadian Junior Golf Association. This year, he has moved up a divi- sion and is now competing over eigh- teen holes against boys one and two years older.

The Pickering native was moving from the hustle and bustle of the Greater Toronto Area to the corn fields and country settings of Fort Dodge, Iowa. But things couldn’t have turned out bet- ter. Rumble, a former standout at Pine Ridge Secondary School, recently graduated with her general degree from Iowa Cen- tral and with that closed the book on quite an impressive two-year stay on the NJCAA track and field scene. Just this past season alone, Rumble took home the 2011 NJCAA National indoor 1000m individual title and at the NJCAA Outdoor National Track and Field Champi- onships in Kansas, anchored Iowa Central’s 4x800m relay team to a victory in a record time of 9:19.21, breaking the old mark by seven seconds. In addition, Rumble helped the 4x400m relay team to a fourth place finish in a school record time of 3:45.54 and also placed fifth in the 800m event in a personal best and new school record time of 2:14.39. Though confident in her abilities as an athlete, even Rumble didn’t expect that kind of success. “I went there very intimidated, thinking, this is the States, they are going to crush me, I am just some girl from Canada,” she recalls. “But once I actually got started rac- ing and placing, finishing my races top five, it became something that was easy for me I guess.” Now she hopes the success will follow her to Texas, where she’ll spent the next two years on scholarship at Abilene Chris- tian University, a Division II program three hours southwest of Dallas. Despite interest from a host of Division I schools, including Kent State, Eastern Mich- igan, Alabama State, Missouri State, Cen- tral Michigan, and the University of Akron, Rumble felt ACU -- which has been ranked by Forbes Magazine as one of the top pri- vate universities in the U.S. -- was the best fit. “For their division, they are one of the top schools. I could either choose to be in a school that is O.K. but not one of the best in their division, or I could go to a national level winning school,” she said of what went into her thought process when deciding on a new university home. Just because she’s moving on though, doesn’t mean Rumble will soon forget her time at Iowa. “I gained a lot of experience at that school and I wouldn’t change it for anything ... it worked out for the best,” said the two-time all-American and holder of seven school track records. “I learned a lot from the peo- ple there and a lot about myself while I was there.” And when she considers the success she enjoyed, and looks ahead at the future suc- cess she hopes to have, Rumble can’t help but defer some of the credit when asked what’s gone into making her such a success- ful athlete at the next level. “Jason McKenzie and Ian Seale,” she said referring to a pair of coaches that have helped along the way. “If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be where I am now.” sUBMitteD Photo PICKERING -- Ayesha Rumble has signed a track-and-field scholarship with Abilene Christian University in Texas. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 7, 201115 AP THE 2011 JAYCO SWIFT 145RB.

July 13th -July 17th Boxing Cook delivers a knockout in first round Ajax resident puts on a show in the ring with second pro victory DURHAM -- A couple of professional fighters out of Motor City Boxing Club showcased crowd screech- ing bouts on Friday Night at the Fights at the Missis- sauga Hershey Center. Brandon ‘Bad-Boy’ Cook of Ajax came out in his second fight as a pro poised and looking to box his Hungarian opponent, Laszlo Haaz (now 4-5). With good movement and precision punching, Cook landed a solid right uppercut to floor Haaz in the first round. Haaz rose to his feet in ample time, shaken but not discour- aged. The referee made the decision to stop the fight, leaving questions of a premature end to the fight. In any case, Cook was awarded the win and improved his record to (2-0 1KO). Cook’s stablemate, Whit- by’s Phil ‘The Assassin’ Rose, stepped in the ring looking to redeem him- self after a hard TKO loss to Julius Bunda in Febru- ary. Rose was greeted by a game opponent in Horace Hunter fresh off a win only a few weeks prior. The decision ended in a draw, leaving fans unsatis- fied but leaving no ques- tion to Rose’s heart and determination to battle back.

Four of the eight players the Major Series Lacrosse league club drafted in the spring have played for the club this season, including top pick Jordan MacIntosh. Selected third overall out of the Burlington Jr. A program, where he finished his junior career with 33-48-81 point totals, MacIntosh has come as advertised. He wasn’t able to join the club at the start of the season because of his school commitments at Rochester Insti- tute of Technology (RIT), but in the seven games he has played, MacIn- tosh has 12-8-20 numbers. “There’s still lots for him to learn at the next level,” says GM/head coach Paul St. John of his prized rookie. “He’s a good, solid player. Coming out of junior you want to make sure they don’t develop any bad habits.” Taken 12th overall was Bryan Neufeld, who had 93 points with St. Catharines Jr. A last season on 33 goals and 60 assists. His penchant for scoring has continued at the senior level, with 4-12-16 totals in 10 games. “He’s played well,” said St. John. “He’s another junior kid coming in. He’s going to be a good player in this league. We just need to get him in as many games as possible. He’s had more good nights than bad nights.” Alex Crepinsek, a teammate of MacIntosh’s at RIT and last year with Burlington Jr. A, has played seven games after being selected 23rd overall. He has yet to register a point, but St. John has been pleased with his play. “He’s been solid. He came in with the tag of a solid, all-around ball player and he is,” said St. John. “He’s a guy that doesn’t stick out and that’s a good thing. The odd mistakes he makes he makes up for two-fold with good plays.” The last of the four to report, John Rae, selected 25th, went out west to play for Langley, but when things didn’t work out, he returned to the Rock, collecting two points on a goal and assist in two games. “He’s a big body. He’s a good kid and works hard,” said St. John. “He’s going to be a pretty solid defender in this league for years to come.” Of the four who haven’t played, Andrew Suitor, taken fourth over- all, was traded to Victoria of the Western League in a cash transac- tion before the season started. Cory Fowler (10th) had a trip to Europe planned and isn’t expected to play this season, while Jay Card (14th) decided to stay in the US, where he plays field lacrosse for the Long Island Lizards. Mike Teeter (15th) is a player St. John was very disap- pointed in not having in the lineup. “He wanted to go out west and we wouldn’t allow him to go west. We wanted him to play here,” said St. John. “He would have played and got a ton of minutes. We’d love to see him in an Ajax Rock uniform so we know who we drafted, but if it doesn’t happen, what can you do about it?” After a two-week break, the Rock get back at it Thursday in Peterbor- ough, followed by home games at the Ajax Community Centre on Fri- day against Brooklin at 8 p.m. and Sunday against Kitchener at 7 p.m. With seven games to go in the regular season, the Rock are 2-11- 0, tied for last with Kitchener in the six team league.

The Ajax native made his sea- son debut after electing to skip the first three events. Steady misting rain on Saturday limit- ed practice time, and NASCAR cancelled qualifying due to wet conditions. The race was lined up according to points, and since McColm hadn’t raced yet this year he started 24th in the 26-car field. “I wasn’t sure what to expect when the race started,” said McColm. “I hadn’t turned a competitive lap since last September, but the car was amazing. The longer the race went the better the car felt.” durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • July 7, 201117 AP P.R.Y.D.E.
