Pickering students band together to promote acceptance in schools MOYA DILLON mdillon@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- A young Pickering boy unwittingly became the face of a province-wide anti- bullying movement after taking his own life earlier this year. As the family of Mitchell Wilson struggles to put their lives back together following the tragic death of their son, the young boy’s death is changing the face of bullying in the region. “It’s been a tough year, I miss Mitchell a lot,” said Craig Wilson of his son, who suf- fered from muscular dystrophy and faced bullying from classmates, leading to his suicide in September at the age of 11. “I’m glad to see communities across Canada have come together to embrace anti-bullying campaigns. I’m glad to see something good coming out of this rather than sweeping it under the rug and just chalking it up as another lost child.” Area students turned their grief over Mitchell’s death into action with the ‘I Am Who I Am’ campaign, which raises awareness and funds for nuscular dystrophy and promotes acceptance. “The Mitchell Wilson story was really the spark for this campaign,” said Cody Morrison, a Grade 12 student at Pine Ridge Secondary School and member of the school’s student advisory committee, which initiated the campaign. “The main point is acceptance in the sense that you don’t have the right to judge me. Every- one has their own uniqueness. Especially in high school, people have this mind-set where they want to fit in with a certain group, we’re saying you don’t have to change, you are who you are.” P ICKER I NG News Adver tiserT H E Friday, December 30, 2011 Mitchell Wilson tragedy puts spotlight on bullying Newsmaker of the year SUBMITTED PHOTO PICKERING -- Mitchell Wilson, who had muscular dystrophy, committed suicide on Sept. 6 at age 11. His parents say he was never the same after he was mugged in November 2010 by an older student at his Pickering school. Mitchell suffered panic attacks, anxiety and severe depression after the incident. His tragic death captured province-wide atten- tion, bringing the issue of bullying to the forefront.

OPEN Thursday December 30: 10am-7pm • CLOSED Friday December 31, 2011 & January 1, 2012 Annual swim set for Paradise Park on New Year’s Day RekA SzekelY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX -- While most folks bundle up, doz- ens of adventurous Ajax and Pickering res- idents will be plunging into Lake Ontar- io on New Year’s Day for the annual polar bear swim. The swim will be held at Paradise Park on Lakeview Boulevard in Ajax. The park is located just east of Pickering Beach Road. Organizers say swimmers will hit the water at 1 p.m. on Jan. 1, so they recom- mend participants and spectators show up by 12:30 p.m. This year’s swim will benefit the Ajax- Pickering hospital’s Heart of it All cam- paign which is looking to purchase new 3D echocardiograms. There will be a collection jar set up on the day of the swim for donations. Co-organizers Eric Novak, Bob Murray and Peter Gos will be among the more than 100 people expected to dunk themselves in the cold lake waters. Mr. Murray started doing the swim by himself and has been doing it for years, but it didn’t become the official Ajax Polar Bear Swim until seven years ago when Mr. Gos joined him. This will be the third year for Mr. Novak. Mr. Novak explains that the new year is often a time for resolutions and he decided to do it in an effort to shake things up. “If you want to have the kind of year you’ve never had before, you’ve got to start with something you’ve never done before,” he said. Organizers said newbies are welcome. “We need new people, crazy people,” said Mr. Gos adding that a little crazy is a good thing. “Adventurous people,” corrected Mr. Murray. In fact, each year there’s a contest for the silliest costume. And while participants aged eight to 69 have done the swim in the past, the orga- nizers acknowledge that some folks are happier staying dry. “If you can’t bring yourself to get into the water, come out and watch us make fools of ourselves,” joked Mr. Novak. In fact, last year about 100 people went into the water with another 120 or so cheer- ing them on. Practically, it will be more of a plunge than a swim and no one is going to be doing laps in the cold water. Instead it’s a run in, dunk, run out kind of event. The braver types will dip in two or three times. Organizers recommend taking running shoes or water shoes as the beach is rocky and a set of warm clothes to change into after the swim. To keep warm, there will be coffee sup- plied by Starbucks and hot chocolate cour- tesy of Bardeau Insurance Brokers. Inotek Signs will be providing the signs. Chad Hanna, president of the Rouge Val- ley Health System Foundation, said the foundation is proud to have the polar bears fundraising for them. “Echocardiograms are the basic tool for anyone who has any sort of heart disease,” he said.

Eight of 11 reinstated by arbitrator JEff MitchEll jmitchell@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Most of the workers fired after an investigation into allegations of drug activity at nuclear plants in Durham Region will get their jobs back, according to an arbi- trator’s ruling. Eight of the 11 workers fired in Novem- ber for breaches of Ontario Power Genera- tion’s employee code of conduct will return, but face disciplinary measures, OPG said Wednesday. The company said the arbitrator’s ruling, released Dec. 23, was part of a “labour rela- tions process” that kicked into gear following the firings. Restrictions imposed by the arbitrator pre- vent the company from confirming whether or not the workers will return to the posi- tions they held prior to the firings, and spe- cifics of disciplinary measures that might be imposed, said OPG spokesman Bob Osborne. He did confirm, however, that punitive measures may include suspen- sions, loss of pay and demotions. The arbitrator banned release of the affect- ed workers’ identities and information con- sidered during the arbitration process. The Nov. 18 dismissals followed a lengthy investigation into allegations of drug activity at the Pickering and Darlington nuclear sta- tions. Durham police were contacted after the allegations arose in August, but there was insufficient evidence to support crimi- nal charges, the company said. The 11 employees were fired after the com- pany determined they had breached OPG code of conduct rules by misusing company time and assets. labour rElations Durham OPG workers fired after drug probe get jobs back As we count down the days of 2011, and start listing resolutions for the new year, there’s no better time to try to improve our online lives. In that vein, here are five social media res- olutions for 2012. • Change your passwords and check your privacy settings: We’ve all heard the advice from security experts that we should change and upgrade our passwords on a regu- lar basis but some of us have been ignor- ing it for years. While changing a password is easy, remembering is the tough part and I’m the sort that gets stuck clicking through the password retrieval process about five seconds after I changed it. But after getting my Facebook account hacked this year, I have a new appreciation for the importance of regularly changing my password and not using the same e-mail/ password combo for multiple sites. Also on the security front, it’s best to check out the privacy settings on your social media accounts on a regular basis to make sure nothing’s changed and you’re sharing what you want to be sharing. • Spice up your profile page: There are those who change their Facebook profile photo or their Twitter background on an almost daily basis. Others have never even bothered to check out the design options on their account. What better time to change it up than the new year? It’ll make your pages a much more pleasant place to visit. • Fill out your Facebook timeline: If you haven’t heard, Facebook has a fun and visu- ally appealing new feature called the time- line which allows us to mark milestones in our lives with photos, videos and posts. Many of us have boxes of old photos stashed in our homes that rarely see the light of day and uploading and sharing them with our friends and family and time- line is a great way to relive some our favou- rite memories. Since creating our Facebook accounts, we’ve all shared our big life events and timeline allows us to fill in the gaps that pre-date Facebook. • Organize your friends and followers: It’s about as fun as cleaning out the closet, but we all know it has to be done every now and then. A good rule of thumb is if you haven’t spoken to the friend in person or online in the past year, you can likely drop them from your Facebook list. As for Twitter, following people who fol- low you is a courtesy, but following too many people can lead to a giant jumble in our Twitter feeds. Organizing folks by topics like friends, news and fun stuff can make it a lot easier to handle. • Pick up a new hobby and explore it via social media: Many people vow to try some- thing new in the new year and sharing their discoveries online is a great way to stick with a new hobby. Runners can track their progress through a Facebook app or budding cooks can try blogging their culinary creations. Follow- ing like-minded people on Twitter is a great way to find helpful tips. Whatever resolutions we make, social media-related or otherwise, there’s always a chance we’ll break them.But let’s face it, updating Facebook is a lot easier than quit- ting smoking or going to the gym for a year. -- Reka Szekely’s social media column appears every Thursday in this space.

With only one day left on the 2011 calendar year, it’s a good time to take stock of the past 365 days and put the spotlight on some of the highs and lows of the year. With that in mind, here is the good, the bad and, for better or worse, the ugly of 2011: Good: The General Motors Centre in Oshawa came into its own this year with a host of stellar travelling shows, not to mention the arrival of the Oshawa Power franchise in the fledgling National Basket- ball League of Canada. The centre played host to electrifying concerts by Elton John and Alice Cooper, among others, and kicks off the new year with the spectacle that is Cirque de Soleil’s Quidam. Bad: Oshawa finally unloaded its expen- sive collection of Cullen miniatures, pur- chased by the Niagara Parks Commission at a price of $113,000. The City bought the collection for $239,000 in 2007. Sigh. Ugly: Durham Region’s energy from waste facility continues to be a flashpoint for con- flict. Aside from the controversy surround- ing pollution fears, Durham officials put on a lavish -- and costly -- groundbreaking ceremony and paid a political price. Dur- ham chairman Roger Anderson publicly apologized after the controversy swelled. Good: The pedestrian bridge from the Pickering Town Centre to the GO station on the south side of Hwy. 401. The long- awaited bridge, built with stimulus fund- ing, will allow easier access for thousands of daily commuters. Bad: Clarington Mayor Adrian Foster call- ing the police on a constituent who was informed that the mayor and Durham Chairman Roger Anderson were seen at an airport. The resident, Heather Olynyk, e-mailed the mayor asking where he was headed and, instead of getting answers, was referred to police. This is political accountability? Ugly: References to Ms. Olynyk by Claring- ton Councillor Wendy Partner that she was “small-minded” by posing the question about Mayor Foster’s destination. There were also suggestions that Ms. Olynyk might be a “nut bar”. For shame. Good: Revenues generated for the Town of Ajax as host of an Ontario Lottery Corpora- tion slots casino. Bad: Revenues generated for the Town of Ajax as host of an Ontario Lottery Corpo- ration slots casino. That revenue doesn’t come from jackpot winners. Ending on a good note: The Town of Whitby had its own happy conclusion to the year with news that an upscale Que- bec-based spa business is redeveloping the former Cullen Gardens site. It creates a new destination and will transform the site for the better. A great way to end 2011 for Whitby. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 30, 20117 AP MOTOROLA ATRIX™ 4G superphone $59 995$01 SAVE $599.95 No term2-yr. term with a $50 voice and data plan Finally,$0 phones that you’ll want to show off. with a $50 voice and data plan BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone $34995$03 SAVE $349.95 No term3-yr. term HTC Incredible S™ smartphone $49 995$02 SAVE $499.95 No term3-yr. term no data required Samsung Galaxy 551™ smartphone $19 995$02 SAVE $199.95 No term3-yr. term no data required LG Optimus Net smartphone $19 995$02 SAVE $199.95 No term3-yr. term no data required BONUS OFFERS •Get unlimited evenings and weekends from 6 p.m.5 •$75 in-store credit on accessories. 4 • Get one month free. 6 Offer ends December 31, 2011.Available with compatible devices within network coverage areas available from Bell Mobility.

Turn Your Home Into a Smart Home with Home Automation durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 30, 20118 P From page 1 The campaign, which kicked off with a multi-school celebration in November, has been adopted by all Pickering schools and raises funds through the sale of green T-shirts and bracelets featuring the I Am Who I Am logo. The campaign had an original goal of raising $10,000 to purchase a wheelchair for a disabled student. On Friday, Dec. 16, the campaign had already surpassed that goal, reaching $15,000. “We can’t get over the overwhelming support we’ve received,” Cody said. “And it’s not just Pickering, it’s every- where. We’ve had people calling from all over, Kingston, Niagara Falls, Trenton. But it’s not just about raising money, it’s about changing the way people think. I hope it will sort of take on a life of its own, so in the future if someone faces bullying at school, they’ll just say ‘I Am Who I Am.’ We want it to be a mind-set.” For Mr. Wilson the campaign is a sign of the way things are changing, and new leg- islation such as the Accepting Schools Act, which has been introduced in the Ontario legislature, make him hopeful change will be lasting. “This has to be an ongoing and diligent campaign,” he said. “I think everything that’s been done is great, I just don’t want it to lose its momen- tum and become a stale subject. This is not something that should be forgotten as yesterday’s news. We need to work on it constantly, otherwise it’s going to creep back in.” For Mr. Wilson, signs of change mean he can step back from advocating for victims of bullying and suicide and focus on his own family, still reeling from the death of Mitchell. “As much as it’s great to get the message out, it’s been tough,” he said of the media interest following his son’s death. “We’re left picking up the pieces and dealing with the emotional distress within our own family. It’s going to be a long time healing. Moving forward we’re just going to try to have a happy new year.” Pickering boy’s father hopes lasting change results from son’s death We’re left picking up the pieces and dealing with the emotional distress within our own family.

Local youths medal in Europe MikE Ruta mruta@durhamregion.com DURHAM -- Local dancers took on the world recently and brought home silver and gold medals. The IDO world dance championships in Europe featured dancers from across the planet compet- ing in a number of disci- plines. Among them was Emily Goodwin of Pickering, at the worlds for the second straight year, who compet- ed in senior ballet forma- tion and junior ballet duet. She duplicated her results from last year, helping Can- ada win gold in two events. “Last year was a lot of fun,” Emily says. “This year was harder because I had to work hard to prove I deserved to be on the senior team, and that I deserved the duet. I’m glad that all of my hard work paid off, and that the judg- es noticed that, especial- ly en pointe. This is a big accomplishment for me.” She competed as a senior and a junior because, while she’s 15, which should make her a junior, Team Canada choreographers wanted Emily to dance on the senior team. “The ballet duet was also particularly challenging since they were compet- ing against three Russian teams, among others, and those Russians know their ballet,” says her mother Clara Goodwin. “In addition, her duet partner was from Burling- ton and Emily had never really danced with her before, so making sure both girls were in synch, and even in the same city to practise, was a challenge.” Clara Goodwin notes that in the senior ballet forma- tion event, the Canadi- ans danced en pointe, the first time a formation was competed en pointe at the worlds. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 30, 201111 AP LearnEnglish Language Tr aining and Skills Development Funded by/Finance par Durham District School Board, Durham Continuing Education 120 centre St. S., Oshawa 905-440-4489 • www.dce.ca • 1-800-408-9619 Citizenship andImmigration Canada Citoyennete etImmigration Canada Durham Regional Po lice Service Season’sGreetings andHappyNewYear Emergency 911 www@drps.ca West Division 1710 Kingston Rd., Pickering 1-888-579-1520 Ext. 2521 l “Leaders in Community Safety” Make Yo ur Most Important New Ye ar’s Resolution ...

Joshua St. John, 12, is per- forming in The Nutcracker, running at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts until Jan. 3. He plays the roles of a chef and a guard in Act 2 and has a bigger role as a boy in the family scene of Act 1. A dedicated dancer and performer, Joshua hopes to attend Canada’s Nation- al Ballet School in the near future and attended its sum- mer school. But he’s glad he waited a year. “This is a dream come true,” he says. “I was going to attend NBS this year but I decided to work on my other genres for another year as I enjoy performing them as well. Normally these roles in The Nutcracker are per- formed by full-time stu- dents at NBS, so when (the Nation- al Ballet of Can- ada) a s k e d me to per- form in The Nut- cracker I was surprised but extreme- ly happy and grateful.” A performer since age nine who attends Kim Thomas Dance Project in Whitby, Joshua performs in many genres, including ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, lyrical/ contemporary and musical theatre. He credits KTDP and Jac- queline’s School of Dance in Pickering, where he started his training, as studios that have helped him grow into a more seasoned perform- er. Among his thank-yous are to sister Ashley. “I tried hockey and lacrosse and although I was a big fan of both sports I really enjoyed performing,” Joshua says. “My sister Ash- ley performs and teaches so I want to follow in her foot- steps.” Joshua’s last performance is Jan. 3 at 1 p.m. The Four Seasons Cen- tre is at 145 Queen St. W., on the southeast corner of Queen Street and University Avenue.

JOHN Brad Kelly Sports Editor bkelly@durhamregion.com durhamregion.com facebook.com/sportsdurhamregion twitter.com/scnewsdurhamSports durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 30, 201112 AP NBACory Joseph: newsmaker of the year RyAN PfeiffeR / MetRolANd PICKERING -- Cory Joseph, shown here during a visit to Pickering High School in September, made his NBA debut this week with the San Antonio Spurs. Joseph, a former star guard at the local high school, is the News Advertiser’s newsmaker of the year in sports. Guard’s rise to the NBA chosen as top local sports story for 2011 ShAwN CAyley scayley@durhamregion.com PICKERING -- In the first week of 2011, Cory Joseph was running the show at point guard for the University of Texas. Some 51 weeks later the Pickering native made his NBA debut as a member of the San Antonio Spurs, becoming the first athlete from these parts to make the grade at the game’s highest level. In that first game of 2011, Joseph posted a modest stat line that included five points, four rebounds, four assists and a steal in helping Texas to a victory over Arkansas. His debut in the NBA saw Joseph playing behind the leg- endary Tony Parker, winner of three championships with the Spurs and backup T.J. Ford who, like Joseph, is a Texas alum. Joseph’s first game consisted of 3:39 of scoreless basketball. He missed both shots he put up, but did collect a pair of rebounds as the Spurs knocked off the Los Angeles Clippers, 115-90. In the grand scheme, though, the statistics were meaningless. The story line was simple. Cory Joseph made it. The former Pickering High School star successfully climbed the ranks, travelled the long road and achieved his dream of reach- ing the NBA in 2011. The following is an excerpt from a story the News Advertiser published Sept. 22 after Joseph, idle through the NBA lockout, returned to his old stomping grounds at Pickering High. “It feels great. It definitely brings back a lot of memories. A lot of good times,” Joseph said of being back where it all started. “We won two OFSAA championships here. Seeing a lot of the changes, you know. There’s a lot of changes in the school.” And there have been many changes in Joseph since those days as well. Following his success at Pickering, Joseph packed up shop and headed south, joining Find- lay Prep in Henderson, Nevada. While it was tough to leave home, the move was something he felt would give him the best opportu- nity to achieve his goals. And it did. “I was very blessed and for- tunate to be able to get into the Findlay program out there in Vegas with great teammates, great coaches and a great first- class organization which helped me a lot,” Joseph said when asked about his prep school experience. “I had SAT prep, ATT prep. Everything I needed, you know. It helped me a lot to get to college. It helped me mature as a young man.” From there it was off to the Uni- versity of Texas, and while his school stay lasted all of one year, it was the final springboard Joseph needed to continue his basketball career. At the NBA draft back in June, Joseph was tabbed with the 29th pick of the first round by the San Antonio Spurs, an experience that Joseph agreed was quite nerve- wracking. “It was definitely mind-bog- gling a little bit. The draft was def- initely heavy sweating a little bit while it’s going on, wanting to get picked,” he said. Joseph, who was the first Cana- dian point guard drafted to the NBA since Steve Nash in 1996, feels as though he’s landed in the perfect spot. “I am just fortunate and blessed, you know, to be able to get picked (by) San Antonio, a great orga- nization,” he said. “Very team oriented, (and) I feel like I am a team-oriented player. They are very defensive minded, (and) I feel like I am a very defensive- minded player. So I feel like I’ll fit right in. “They’ve proven they make great picks and develop great players so I am just more than happy to be there.” When Joseph first declared for the draft, it was thought he was simply testing the waters. Many run the same course every year by announcing their intentions to enter, before taking a step back and continuing with school for at least another year. However, after working out for several NBA teams, Joseph was pleased enough with the feed- back and kept his hat in the ring for the draft. Criticism followed but so too did the validation he was look- ing for when NBA commissioner David Stern called his name out during the first-round proceed- ings. “Of course it was very nice. Everybody wants to be a first- round pick to get that validation,” he said, before cautioning that his work is far from done. “The work starts now. I can’t let this get to me. It starts now the hard work. Just trying to get better every day.” Few stories rival what Joseph, just 20, has achieved in bucking the odds as a kid from Canada with hoops dreams and reaching the big stage. And no doubt his success story is far from complete. Sandy Martin, Graham Carr, Ian Dick- ie, Mark Kean and Andrew Clayton are all competitive members of Annandale and are in the thick of playing to represent the club. Competitive members are not required to curl in the normal leagues. All are to compete in the Ontario Men’s Dominion Tankard Regional Playdown at the Gran- ite Club Jan. 7 and 8. That event leads to the provincial final to determine a team to represent Ontario for the Saskatoon Brier March 3-11. Martin, Carr and Dickie are with Sean Aune, while Kean skips his own team of Clayton, Patrick Janssen and Tim March. The club constitution was changed in 2009 to allow competitive memberships. The club was losing some of its best play- ers to other clubs, when teams sought members, so the option was added to allow the players to play under the Annandale banner. Junior or bantam teams are allowed no more than two competitive member- ships, but adult teams may consist of up to four. Curling resumes on Jan. 3 with the after- noon ladies’ and then the men’s compet- itive leagues. In January several teams will be advanc- ing in OCA competitions. Lesley Pyne with Stacey Hogan, Suzanne Miller and Bridget Arnold will play at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts Women’s Regional Playdown slated for Gananoque Jan. 6-8. The Annandale junior men’s team of Ben Bevan, Tyler Sagan, Carter Adair, Derreck Veitch and coach Jennifer McGhee have advanced to the Ontario Junior Men’s Provincial Championship at the Russell Curling Club Jan. 4-8. Later in the month, the club will host the annual Robbie Burns Fun Spiel. It is set for Jan. 28 and features two six end games, lunch, supper and dancing. The 117th running of the TCA men’s Goldline bonspiel runs across Toronto Jan. 7-14 and the host club for the finals is St. Georges. Annandale has seven teams competing, all in the seniors draw. The skips are Jim Barrett, David Gau- dette, Brian Hawke, David Lloyd, Sandy McMillan, Dale Patterson and Ed Waite. Some of the week-long curling can be viewed at Annandale on Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. and Jan. 11 at 9 p.m.durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 30, 201113 AP Want to know what’s happening in Pickering?

Undefeated last season, The Top Shelf seemed to be regaining that form as they jumped out to a quick 10-1 lead only to have Michael’s storm back to tie the game at 26 at the half. The second half saw the lead change hands several times before the late foul. Nick Mikos led the Shelf with 16 points while Ian Harvey and Calvin Smith had 14 and 10 respectively. Ravi Persad once again led Michael’s with a game high 20 points, while Roy Bailey added 11. ESN Packaging also saw their share of first place removed as North Alliance Press dominated from start to finish in a 50-37 win. Sherwin James dropped 17 points and Eric Spriel 10 for NAP who won their sec- ond game in a row. ESN’s lone bright spot was Kitson Wallace who tallied 15 in a los- ing cause. The Right Step continued to go in the right direction with a 55-45 victory over basement dweller Dickson’s Printing. Team captain and centre Roger Young was a force with 21 points. Claude Whitfield and Rodney Esking chipped in a dozen each in the win. A short-handed Dickson’s got a strong game from Orin Taylor who hit for 16 while Tim Lane and Scott Poulton contributed 10 each. The Top Shelf now leads the league by a game over ESN and Michaels and two over the Right Step. NAP holds down fifth place ahead of Dickson’s. Play resumes Jan. 11 at Ajax High School. oHl Laughton scores two in Generals win OSHAWA -- In the absence of a handful of players away at international tournaments over the holidays, the Oshawa Generals will need contributions from some different sources over the next few games. And, in the case of centre Scott Laughton, they hope from here on in as well. Laughton, in his second season after being drafted third overall by the Ontario Hockey League club in 2010, came through in a big way Wednesday night, scoring twice to lead the Generals past the Erie Otters 4-1. Other Generals goals came from Christian Thomas and Jimmy McDowell, while Dan Altshuller picked up the win in goal. Oshawa returns to action Friday night against Kingston and Sunday home to Owen Sound. durhamregion.comNews Advertiser • December 30, 201114 AP THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF WHITBY DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONAL SERVICES (POSTING REFERENCE NO. 12-M001-230) We are seeking a dynamic, forward thinking and strategic leader to fill the role of Director of Operational Services to be responsible for the overall direction, planning, development and general/financial management of the Division and effectively leading the team by fostering a culture of excellence and delivering quality services to our residents and visitors.
