Charity lake swim to benefit injured wrestler By Mike Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Bob Murray and Peter Gos are taking a dip on New Year’s Day. They’d like as many people as possible to join them, since the swim is a fundraiser for the Dur- ham Regional Cancer Centre and Oshawa’s Michael Box, 15, in need of a wheelchair after a wrestling injury left him with a snapped ver- tebrae and a severed spinal cord. Michael is currently at the Hospi- tal for Sick Children. But, don’t meet Mr. Murray and Mr. Gos at a local community cen- tre pool: these hardy fellows are swimming in Lake Ontario. “I don’t think of it as a Polar Bear swim,” says Mr. Murray, an Ajax resident for more than 50 years. “It’s not as hard as you think. It’s crazy and lots of fun.” He’s taken the plunge for more than a decade now, and his friend, fellow Ajax resident Mr. Gos, has joined him for the last four swims. The latter is Mr. Murray’s insur- ance agent. “If you’re going to do some- thing like this, you should take your insurance agent with you,” Mr. Murray says, laughing. “We’ve been friends for a lot of years. He’s not the kind of person you’d think would do it.” But, being in the water is second nature to Mr. Murray. “I used to work as a commercial diver up in Penetanguishene, and I used to run a dive boat up on Lake Kamaniskeg,” he says, noting he guided divers to the wreck of the Mayflower, a steamboat that sank in 1912. The men last year de- cided to make the swim a char- ity event, encouraging others to take the plunge as well. They were pleasantly surprised at the turn- out: roughly 10 swimmers and a decent-sized crowd watching from the beach. “We raised about $400 and split it between the Durham Regional Cancer Centre and Prin- cess Margaret Hospital,” he said. “We just decided (to raise funds) at the last minute. We didn’t adver- tise, so I think we did really good.” Once again this year, they’re in- viting swimmers and those who just want to watch, and hopefully contribute some cash, to join them for the dip on Jan. 1. at 1 p.m. It’s at the Ajax lakefront at Lakeview Boulevard, roughly halfway be- tween Pickering Beach and Shoal Point roads. “We’re hoping to get a lot of people there,” says Mr. Murray. 980 KINGSTON ROAD, PICKERING Between Liverpool Rd & Whites Rd. 905-839-6159 www.saturnofpickering.saturncanada.com Saturn Saab of Pickering The North American Car of the Year.

A letter from the president of the Ontario Medical Association (OMA), Janice Willett, which asked for support of a provincial ban on smoking in vehicles with children, was endorsed by council on Dec. 17 without debate. The letter states that second- hand-smoke (SHS) can be 23 times more toxic than in a house be- cause of the small, confined space.

The drive is spearheaded by the Durham Catholic Dis- trict School board’s two stu- dent trustees, Siobhan Stew- art and Amanda D’Aurelio. The money generated from the tabs will be used by the Ontario March of Dimes to purchase wheelchairs and other mobility aids. “They get 60 cents for every 1,000 tabs. It may seem like a lot, but it’s not. I had a hundred in my hand just now,” said Siobhan, a Grade 12 student at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in Pickering. The student trustees are getting help from student senators from other Dur- ham Catholic high schools, both St. Mary and Monsi- gnor Pereyma are already collecting, and are hoping the campaign spreads to the elementary schools as well. Siobhan said she tries to take a lighthearted ap- proach when asking her fel- low students for the tabs. “I try to make it funny. I’m not asking for $1 million, I’m not asking to break your arm, I’m just asking for a pop tab.” And the campaign is catching on quickly. “It’s starting to become a subconscious thing where people don’t think about it, they take pop tabs off and they’ll give them to Siobhan or me,” said student senator Adam Craveiro, also from St. Mary. One Grade 10 student brought in a water cooler jug full of tabs that was given to her by a neighbour. The students are hoping the simplicity of the cam- paign will continue to drive contributions. “I think this is a great charity because it’s so easy to get involved. All it takes is one can of pop and you’re contributing to this,” said Adam. And it’s not just lim- ited to the schools. “I’ve made a flyer and I go around and hand it out to neighbours,” said Siobhan, adding that people wanting to contribute are welcome to drop off the tabs at St. Mary. The students plan to keep collecting until June. MORE TIME TO SHOP pickeringtowncentre.com NEW Early Opening Saturday Hours to serve you better!

Paralyzed teen smiles at greetings from high school pals, staff By Melissa Mancini mmancini@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Despite a recent catastrophe that left 15-year-old Michael Box paralyzed from the neck down, his family was trying to make the best of a grim Christmas season. Michael has been at the Hospital for Sick Children since early December after sustaining a devastating spinal cord injury while he competed in a high school wrestling match. Since his admission to Sick Kids, he has been fighting internal infections and had his most recent of six heart failures on Wednesday. In spite of the obvious stress and strain the acci- dent has had on his family, Michael’s father, Scott, and the rest of the clan was de- termined to make the best of the holiday. On Christmas morning the family packed up all the gifts donated and purchased by staff at the Tim Hortons on King and Drew streets in Oshawa. Michael, his father, stepmother and three younger siblings did the traditional gift opening in his hospital room. “There were bags and bags of gifts,” Mr. Box said. “It was fantastic that Tim Hortons did that for us.” Perhaps the best present Mi- chael received was a videotape of greetings from friends and teach- ers at Central Col- legiate. The well wishes really lifted Michael’s spirits. “He had the biggest smile on his face when we watched it,” said Mr. Box. “It was the first time I have seen him smile since all this happened, I was tearful watching him.” Mr. Box is now looking into sell- ing his current home. He has had two contrac- tors in to look at his house and has been told the renovations to suit Michael’s needs would not be possible. “It’s a fairly new house, but the way it’s shaped is going to make it impossible to get it up to the standards Michael needs,” said Mr. Box. “The hallways are too short and narrow.” Mr. Box will be partici- pating in a polar bear swim at 1 p.m. on New Year’s Day. Some of the proceeds will go toward purchasing a wheelchair for his son. The dip will take place at the Ajax lakefront at Lakev- iew Boulevard, between Pickering Beach and Shoal Point roads. There is a trust fund set up in Michael’s name at the Bank of Montreal with the account number 39412- 001-8116279 to help with the numerous costs associ- ated with such an injury. In the midst of such tragic circumstances, there was a glimmer of hope for Mi- chael’s family. His mother, Loretta Hughes, gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Hailey at Lakeridge Health on Boxing Day. 2 0 m in u t es to OSHAWA TORONTO FAIRALL S T .WESTNEY R D.

EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com LETTER TO THE EDITOR As we bid 2007 adieu and head into 2008, our fondest wish is that there is not a single solemn procession down the Highway of Heroes throughout the coming year. As moving as the tributes were this past year to our fallen soldiers in Afghanistan, we can all agree the best for the coming year would be not to have to repeat such ceremonies. However, given our role in the conflict in Afghanistan, it’s likely that at some point thousands of local citizens will make their way down to Hwy. 401 overpasses from Trenton to Toronto to salute our troops. That’s just the way it went in 2007, when ordinary Canadians came out spontaneously to honour those soldiers who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. There were too many of them and we only hope there are few or better yet, none this year. Our other hopes and dreams for 2008 centre around safety, health and good governance for the coming year. We would love to see calmer streets and highways. Too often there are crashes caused by careless or dangerous driving and, as recent RIDE statistics show, too many make the awful decision to drink and drive. On the transportation and transit theme, it’s clear progress is required on the drive to get the Hwy. 407 extension built within the next five years. The long-needed widening of the 401 from Ajax to Whitby should also be on the provincial government’s radar over the next year. And Durham Region Transit will have to look at its operations and continue to streamline and, where needed, add service to make it an attractive alternative to driving. The issue of energy from waste or incineration continues to divide local citizens. While it’s clear we must find an answer to taking care of our non-recyclable and non-compostable gar- bage, we still need to do more to see if incineration is the solu- tion. Let’s make sure we make the right call on this long-term project. Most of all, we hope that all our readers enjoy a safe and happy 2008. Happy New Year. -- Metroland Durham Region Media Group P PAGE 6 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, December 28, 2007 durhamregion.com Businessman disputes benefits of day off To the editor: Re: A day off in February could save businesses money, Ian McMillan column, Nov. 18. I am a new small business owner who has sold every asset I have and I have my house mortgaged to 80 per cent of equity. Every nickel I own is in this business and times are tough. I am certainly not rich and would certainly settle for being comfort- able. My employees are minimum wage, which is what is needed to stay competitive in my business. At the end of March, I need to deal with a large minimum wage increase that will drive my overall labour costs up 6 per cent. Would I like to pay them more -- of course I would. They are all great people who work hard. When the Ontario government brought in this new stat holi- day, it truly was the “icing on the cake.” Ian McMillan mentions work stress costs work time loss of $12 million a year? Mr. Mc- Millan, let me help you out. I don’t have Statistics Canada calculations in front of me, but I suspect it is far higher. Is this for Whitby? For Toronto? For Canada as a whole? The figures I have heard is this stat holiday will cost business $500 million to $1 billion, so explain to me how you can compare this to $12 million? Mr. McMillan compares Canada to the U.S. I lived in the U.S. for several years. They have no government legislative vacation requirements (unlike us at 2 weeks) and they do not have ma- ternity leave requirements; it is at the discretion of the employer (where we have almost a year). If you want to live in a place that is anti-employee, go to the U.S. Steve Forman Whitby N othing like a good snowstorm to bring out the guys. At least in a small town. You know who the guys are. They’re the fellas gleefully plodding behind the snowblowers, coming to the rescue on riding mowers and at the wheels of snow- bladed pickups. The guys who wait anx- iously, pull cords in hand, for disaster. The guys who live for a good dump... of snow. You can spot a guy a mile away, even when it isn’t snowing. They’re usually clad in any combination of duck canvas cover- alls, Kenora dinner jacket, wool toque and/ or baseball cap, fluorescent orange work gloves and, if it isn’t snowing or the wind hasn’t dropped a tree on someone’s car or house nearby they’ll be either “tinkering” with some form of combustion engine in their driveway or at the co-op buying more warm stuff to wear, just in case. If you’re lucky enough to live beside or near a guy, you’ll never have to shovel an ounce of snow again. In fact, for the paltry fee of a case of beer or a 40-pounder of rye you can get usually get four-season cover- age out of your neighborhood guy. He’ll happily chainsaw your wood, leaf- blow your yard and power-wash your car, house or children. If it requires a motor and a gas/oil mix, your guy’s your man. Mind you there are limitations. Don’t expect your guy to just jump in, plow you out of your driveway and be on his way. No. Guys like to talk. Watching a guy work his magic with his blade and then hopping in your car and taking off to work, without a word of chit- chat, is tantamount to slapping a cow in India or dissing Merle Haggard at a Lion’s barbecue. It’s just not done. Not unless you want to find yourself arse-deep in the white stuff next December. Guy etiquette requires that, when the job is done, you put everything else on hold, tilt your hat back on your forehead, maybe put a foot up on the running board and shoot the breeze for a bit. For those who don’t speak Guy here are a few good starters: “Boy she’s sure coming down, huh?” “Helluva nice rig you got here.” “Anything to get away from the wife for a few hours, eh?” Avoid comments like: “Could you keep it off the garden next time?” “Helluva nice wife you’ve got there.” “Would you like to come inside for a Chai and biscotti?” Remuneration is a tricky subject. Re- member, guys are very much heroes. Sort of Robin Hoods in Sorels and they need to be treated as such. Nobody ever turned to Audey Murphy or Errol Flynn after they’d saved the day and said, “Um, can I write you a cheque?” It’s the height of bad form to bring up compensation in front of a guy. It should simply be understood that sometime, in the not too distant future, a little something in the form of a bottle, a case or anything in a casserole dish will make its way to the guy’s house. It’s an ancient and time-honoured system. As I say, the recent storm, with its at- tendant stuck vehicles, blocked driveways and general meteorological panic was like a salt lick for guys. They were everywhere. By mid-day the air was humming with the sound of two-stroke engines and the only vehicles on the road were manned by hap- pily grinning, hoar-rimed saviours. Bless them all.

Police say Toronto man tried to have 11 year old expose herself on web cam PICKERING — A Toronto man is charged w ith internet luring after allegedly pos- ing as a woman and asking an 11-year-old Pickering girl to expose herself via a web cam. Detectives from Durham Regional Police Service’s Sexual Assault Unit (SAU) arrested Adam Doplaga, 25, of Dashwood Crescent in Etobicoke at his residence on Dec. 20, with assistance from Toronto Police. Police were tipped off in mid-November when a Pickering family complained their daughter was asked to expose herself over the Internet using a web cam. The request came from an individual identified via Facebook and MSN Messen- ger as “Jennifer Johnanas,” a woman in her twenties. An investigator with the SAU then took over the online identity of the 11-year-old victim, with the permission of her family. Officers kept up contact with the accused for about a month before arresting him and seizing a computer, several hard drives and storage media from the home. Police charged Mr. Doplaga with luring, invitation to sexual touching, make avail- able child pornography, make child por- nography, possession of child pornography and personation. After a bail hearing on Dec. 21, he was released on a recognizance. Police are reminding parents to ensure their computers are in the living room or kitchen of their home and that they do not allow young children to use a web cam. Children should only chat online with peo- ple they know and can confirm. Anyone with information that may help the investigation can contact the SAU’s Det. Randy Norton at 1-888-579-1520 extension 5363 or Det. Andy Bussanich at extension 5349. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) and tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 reward. Pickering family complaint leads to charges Card-skimming operation netted almost $30G By Jeff Mitchell jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM — Calling him “an uncontrollable crimi- nal,” a Durham judge has handed a substantial peni- tentiary term to a fraud art- ist who bilked unsuspecting victims of thousands of dol- lars by stealing their bank- ing information. Sergui Kokoouline, a landed immigrant from Russia with a previous conviction for fraud, was sentenced Wednesday to five years in the pen by On- tario Court Justice Donald Halikowski, who in Novem- ber found the man guilty of numerous charges relating to a debit card-skimming operation based at an Os- hawa gas bar. Noting that Mr. Koko- ouline was supposed to be serving an 18-month term of house arrest for fraud convictions in York Region at the time of the offences here, the judge called the man “an uncontrollable criminal who showed no remorse for his actions.” “This is an individual who just six months before- hand had been given a con- ditional sentence for similar crimes,” Justice Halikowski said. “The accused was in- volved in a wide-ranging scheme... for the sole pur- pose of defrauding a large number of financial and private victims.” In May 2006 Mr. Koko- ouline, using an alias and fake ID including an Ontar- io driver’s licence, landed a job at the gas bar on Simcoe Street North. Within weeks he was en- trusted to run the gas bar by himself and was soon stealing banking informa- tion from customers by “skimming” codes from their debit cards. It’s es- timated he stole almost $30,000 which had to be repaid by various banks to affected card holders. As suddenly as he appeared the mystery man vanished, leaving Durham fraud in- vestigators with little but a driver’s licence photo and a phoney name. But a tip from a neighbouring police service led Durham cops to York Region, where they arrested Mr. Kokoouline in September 2006 as he ar- rived in a new BMW for an appointment with his pro- bation officer. © Tim Hortons, 2007 Tim Hortons invites you to enjoy some time with your family and friends and skate for free at your local arena.

Coun. Brown become ill on Dec. 18 and the “presence of the tumour” affected her speech and her right side, Mayor Steve Parish says. He adds testing will have to be done to determine if the tumour was malignant, noting there’s a “five-per cent chance” it’s malignant. “The preliminary progno- sis appears good,” he says. “We’re cautiously optimistic.” As for how long Coun. Brown will be off the job, Mayor Parish says, “We want her to take all the time neces- sary to have a full recovery. “Knowing Pat, she’ll want to be back as earliest as possi- ble. My advice is to take all the time you need,” Mayor Par- ish notes. “We were obviously very concerned and worried. Her prognosis is good and we hope everything will go well.” Cherry Sevigny, the may- or’s assistant, says the Brown family requests no visitors or phone calls at this time. Ward 4 constituents should contact the mayor’s office for assistance with concerns or issues they may have, Ms. Sevigny adds. She can be reached at 905-619-2529, ext. 335, or by e-mail at cherry. sevigny@townofajax.com.

The police website can be found at www. drps.ca, under “What’s New” while the government website can be found at www.mto.gov.on.ca/safety/impaired/ breaklaw. Durham Regional Police report that after the fi rst month of their annual campaign, the number of arrests, charges and licence suspensions have increased from last years campaign. 14 more people have been charged criminally this year compared to the same time last year. This represents a 25 % increase. What is even more disturbing is the trend. For several consecutive years, these numbers continue to increase in spite of on-going education and well publicized information campaigns. Despite the many options available, such as public transit, taxis, and designated driver services such as Keys to Us some individuals still choose to not plan ahead or drink in excess of moderation. Simply stated, it takes for the average adult in an evening, more than a drink or two, to blow over. Having a glass of wine during dinner will not normally cause you impairment and will not result in a charge of exceeding the legal limit. The consequences of driving while over the legal limit or refusing to provide a sample of your breath are considerable. Your vehicle is towed at your cost; your licence is automatically suspended by the province for 90 days with an attached reinstatement fee of $150.00. Your name, and the fact that you were charged becomes a matter of public record. If you are a fi rst time offender, upon conviction you face a minimum fi ne of $600.00 plus a further 1 year driving prohibition followed by a year with an ignition interlock device attached to your vehicle. The instalment and service fees for this device are your responsibility. Then there is the Drive Safe Course that you are required to attend at your cost. Your insurance premiums will triple not for one year but three and many companies will decline your business because of the risk Driving Under the Infl uence This Holiday Season The Durham Regional Police are committed to providing quality service in partnership with the community.

Joe Dickson MPP Ajax-Pickering Please drink responsibly! I wish everyone a happy healthy Holiday Season and best wishes for the new year! Best personal regards Joe Dickson MPP Rick Johnson sees what it’s like to rely on a scooter By Kristen Calis kcalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING — A Pickering council- lor got an eye-opener when he spent an afternoon off his feet recently. “The ability to move around in a wheelchair or scooter is something you can’t talk about until you try it,” said Ward 3 Regional Councillor Rick Johnson. He travelled through the Pickering Town Centre on a scooter Monday af- ternoon to raise money for the March of Dimes (MOD), a non-profit organiza- tion that offers programs and services for people with physical disabilities. He raised $60 through donations he col- lected in a pail on his scooter at the mall, and donated an extra $500 himself. Ajax Shoppers Home Health Care, where the presentation took place, rounded it up to $600. “It was very generous of him to donate so much of his time to go to Pickering Town Centre to do that,” said Sheila Case- more, MOD manager of group develop- ment and support. Joe Millage, director of government relations and business development for Shoppers Home Health Care (which works in conjunction with the MOD), said he chose Coun. Johnson for the event because he cares about the com- munity and communicates well with others. Coun. Johnson said he was very impressed with the PTC’s accessibility and noted some of the people he met at the mall using similar mobility devices go there specifically for its easy access. “A lot live in Scarborough and come to Pickering Town Centre because of its accessibility,” he said. One obstacle he faced was not in the mall, but in the stores themselves. “When I went into some of the stores, the shelving and the way the clothes racks are, they don’t leave enough space in a lot of situations for people to get through in the actual internal store,” he said. But, he said staff were overall “very accommodating. That part I was very impressed with.” ® BOXING WEEK Bed Frame ...................................................$49 ....................$19 10 yr Orthopedic Set (Single) ......................$399 ..................$169 20 yr Orthopedic Set (Double) ....................$748 ..................$348 10 yr Orthopedic Set (Queen) .....................$699 ..................$309 20 yr Orthopedic Set (Single) ......................$499 ..................$248 10 yr Orthopedic Set (Queen) .....................$599 ..................$199 30 yr Orthopedic Set Pillow Top Queen .......$999 ..................$488 Sealy Posturepedic Queen Set ...................$1388 ..................$688 Serta Perfect Sleeper King Set (Pillow Top) ..$1988 ..................$988 Sealy Ultra Euro Top Queen Set ................$2688 ..................$988 Simmons Beauty Rest (Pocket Coil) with 3” of Memory Foam .......$4999 ................$1888 Serta Space Technology Solid Memory Foam Queen Set ................$2999 ..................$988 Mismatch Simmons DBL or Queen Sets ............... $499DBL/$599QS Spring Air (Pocket Coil/Memory Foam /Latex) Queen Set ......................($3999) $1388 .......KING $1688 Niagara Pillow Top (Damask Cover) .........$1588 ..................$788 REG.
