About 300 people turned out to the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade's annual mayors' break- fast at Deer Creek Golf and Ban- quet Facility, perhaps anticipat- ing a debate between Ajax Mayor Steve Parish and Pickering May- or Dave Ryan about the location of a casino. It didn't happen, al- though they did spar briefly about the Durham Live proposal when asked a question about transportation issues. "I welcome such a large crowd. I wonder if something is going on," Parish quipped when Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan answered questions from members of the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade during the annual Mayors' Breakfast held at Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility April 12. Both he and Ajax Mayor Steve Parish spoke.

Trevell and Trenell Ottley appeared briefly in court Thursday, April 12 follow- ing a judicial pretrial meeting involving lawyers and a judge. They were remand- ed to May 10, when it's expected there will be a clearer picture of how the case will proceed. It should be decided by then if the brothers will go directly to trial or seek a preliminary hearing, prosecutor Mitch- ell Flagg said. Trenell, 24, and his brother, 22-year- old Trevell, face more that 60 charges re- lating to a series of robberies and car- jackings, the majority of which occurred between Oct. 12, when a man and woman were abducted and forced to drive to an ATM and withdraw cash, until the arrest of the two suspects in late November. Police investigated a number of simi- lar incidents in which people were ac- costed and sometimes assaulted as they left or got into their cars. In some cases vehicles were stolen and later recovered in Ajax. The brothers were arrested after a taxi driver was robbed on Nov. 28 at Ajax Downs casino. They had been under sur- veillance by cops investigating the crime spree, Durham police confirmed. The Ottleys were denied release on bail following a hearing in December. NEWS Accused in Ajax carjacking spree appear in court JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com Trenell Ottley, 24, and his brother (left) Trevell Ottley, 21, both of Hesketh Road in Ajax, have been charged in connection with nine incidents.

Parish didn't discuss the casino issue at all in his remarks, but Ryan opened by talking about it. Ryan said he would be giving "one of the most ex- citing updates in years. "It's been almost six years since Councillor (Kevin) Ashe and Council- lor (David) Pickles brought Steve Apostolo- poulos of Triple Properties to my office and pitched me on the idea of a casino. I wasn't interested in a stan- dalone box in a field. It didn't do anything for me, and outside of potential gaming revenues, it didn't add much value to the greater community," Ryan said. The next time Ryan met with the trio, they had the concept of Durham Live, which included the casino, but also a hotel, conven- tion centre, film studios, water park, restaurants and an office tower. "Now this was some- thing truly special. When I took in all of the economic, tourism and job-creation potential of a project of this size and scale, I be- came a Durham Live champion," he said. "I know there's been a lot of noise about the casi- no and whether or not it should stay in Ajax or come to Pickering. Howev- er, if you filter out all of the noise, it really is a clear and simple matter," he not- ed. "Great Canadian Gam- ing was awarded the GTA Gaming Bundle and was given a mandate by OLG to maximize revenues." The process for select- ing Durham Live was open and transparent, he said. When questioned, Par- ish said the Durham Live proposal relies on a partial interchange at Church Street, adding there's al- ready gridlock issues on Bayly Street. "It will be traffic chaos," he said, noting the Ajax site is close to highways 401 and 412. He said there's "no pro- vision" in provincial plans to construct an inter- change at Church. Ryan said the inter- change would be "fully funded by the developer. There's not a single cent from the taxpayers." In his address, Parish said, "It struck me that it is very clear 2018 will be a year of profound change in this region and province. A provincial election is coming soon, and our mu- nicipal election is coming. We don't know what will happen in these elections." A day after the break- fast, Parish announced he would not be seeking re- election as mayor of Ajax. It's possible there will be a change in government at Queen's Park, he said. "It's noted, with the tragedy of the passing of Roger Anderson, there will be a newly elected re- gional chair and at least one-third or 50 per cent of regional council will be new bodies starting next term," he said. He noted Ajax is "the largest municipality in Canada and maybe North America to have full inter- net and phone voting. It has increased voter turn- out, and it's made voting much more easy. "We have a great finan- cial sustainability plan, which makes sure our fis- cal practices are best prac- tices. We have strong re- serves and low debt," he said. He said the town has been an environmental leader for years. He added that the wa- terfront is "under threat" by algae, which the town contends comes from phosphorous from the Duffin Creek Water Pollu- tion Control Plant. Tertia- ry treatment could remove almost all the phospho- rous, he said. "Huge algae blooms are fouling our waterfront. We have the capability to make that right. We've seen what happened in Lake Erie," he said. Ryan noted, on the air- port, "After more than 40 years, Pickering Council has finally taken a positive position on the proposed airport. We have conclud- ed that an airport is very much needed to unlock the full economic potential of the federal lands, and it's time that we advocate for what we believe to be in the best interests of Pickering, Durham Region, Ontario and, indeed, Canada." Pickering is less than 30 minutes away from Pear- son airport when using Highway 407. Pickering is "the perfect location for a secondary airport. There is no other suitable location that could serve the GTA catch- ment area," Ryan said.

A numbered company, 2388116 Ontario Inc., wish- es to build an eight-storey condo with 118 units be- tween Wharf and Annland streets and west of Liver- pool Road. The developer has appealed the applica- tion to the Ontario Munici- pal Board on the grounds that the city did not make a decision within the allotted time frame. Pickering's refusal was passed at the council meet- ing on April 10, mostly as an official stance going for- ward at the OMB, and to authorize staff, and outside legal council and experts, to defend council's position at the proceedings. The two sides have met at the OMB once, and a sec- ond pre-hearing date is set for Aug. 14. "I think the public has spoken loud and clear in this area that we do not want this kind of develop- ment taking place and bog- ging up what is in fact a congested area of Picker- ing," Ward 2 city Coun. Ian Cumming said at the plan- ning and development committee it was initially passed at. A number of residents attended in support of council's position and spoke as to why they be- lieve the development isn't appropriate for the area. "I've seen every critter you can imagine except moose and bear," said Da- vid Frampton. He does not want the ar- ea to end up like the west end of Toronto, and noted he hasn't seen any major improvements to the sewer lines, adding underground infrastructure would be a problem. He said the condo would bring an extra 200 vehicles to the area. "Now the elephant in the room is the big plant down there," he said. He acknowledged an ac- cident at the Pickering Nu- clear Generating Station is unlikely, but said if there ever were one, "nobody is getting out with that many cars down there." The developer's repre- sentative John McDermot- t of McDermott and Associ- ates Limited attended the meeting and said his client has received demeaning and "somewhat threaten- ing" correspondence relat- ed to the proposal. "I would urge those in attendance tonight and who are responsible for such correspondence to conduct themselves ac- cordingly," he said. Resident Thomas Dal- zell pointed out the person could have been anyone, and not necessarily some- one in attendance. Cumming agreed hate mail is wrong, but said he's found the residents have shown good behaviour in this frustrating time at the public meetings. "I thank the residents of Frenchman's Bay and the lower half of Liverpool Road for coming out and for being so restrained in their approach," he said. "I think that's the intelligent way to do it." There was some debate between council and McDermott as to whether the plans for the area meet provincial standards for intensification. McDermott added ac- cording to the conceptual block plan, visual corri- dors have been enhanced and maintained and it would provide for a greater public open space area. He said traffic and park- ing issues already exist, problems the municipality should address. "I think there has to be a co-ordinated solution," he said. NEWS Council confirms opposition to waterfront condo KRISTEN CALIS KCalis@durhamregion.com PICKERING - It was standing room only at the Ontario Municipal Board pre-hearing regarding a proposed development on Pickering's waterfront. Ward 2 city Coun. Ian Cumming guessed there were between 120 and 150 people in attendance at the pre-hearing in Picker- ing council chambers on March 21 to show their op- position to a proposal for an eight-storey condo de- velopment on Wharf Street, west of Liverpool Road and steps away from Frenchman's Bay. The developer is a numbered company, 2388116 Ontario Inc. The area is currently comprised of detached dwellings, boat and other storage facilities, as well as overflow parking for Port restaurant. The applicant had ap- plied to the City of Picker- ing for an Official Plan amendment to redesig- nate the lands from open space system - marina ar- eas and urban residential areas - low density areas to urban residential areas -high density areas. The city did not make a decision in the required 180-day time frame, so the developer filed an appeal with the board, which will make a decision on the matter. Residents lined up to register as participants at the pre-hearing, so they can speak on the issue when the hearing re- sumes. The number of partici- pants hasn't yet been re- vealed, but several pages contained names. Counsel for the devel- oper asked that the next pre-hearing date be set in May or June, since the de- velopment proposal has been before the city for quite some time, but the city's representative said he needed more time to g et staff's recommenda- tions regarding the pro- posal. The city is opposed to the development. On Feb. 5, council sup- ported a motion by Ward 2 regional Coun. Bill McLean and Coun. Cum- ming to give staff direc- tion to hire outside legal council to defend the city's position in opposi- tion to this application. Richard Jones presid- ed over the meeting, re- presenting the OMB, and set a second pre-hearing date for Aug. 14, at 10 a.m. again at Pickering City Hall. On that date, the hear- ing date should be set, which Jones said will most likely occur in 2019 as the OMB's schedule is quite packed.

Kathryn put it there as a sign of love and re- membrance to those lost, injured and grieving in Saskatchewan. We live at the end of a single-track, dead end cottage lane. It's unlikely more than a hand- ful of people will see our hockey stick, but still, it feels like it's important. Putting it there has given us a small measure of peace, has eased a little of our heartache over this tragedy. Collectively though, these hockey sticks on porches, these small bits of peace, have a remarkable power. I've said it many times before in these pages and it's well worth repeating; we are all connected. There is an un- derlying spirit or con- sciousness that joins all of us. It's the thing that ani- mates us, inspires us and creates our realities. It's why our two hearts up here on this little lake in Grav- enhurst break at the news of a tragedy thousands of miles away. And it's why we feel compelled to do some- thing, anything, to help with the healing. We are all one. The majesty and the magic of that overwhelms me sometimes. As does the responsibility that comes with it. The responsibility to love, to pay attention, to respond in any loving way we can, to beam our hearts' energy toward goodness, hope and healing. To keep the earth spinning in the direction of God. We do this with every kind word, with every good thought, with every handshake, hug, kiss and loving look. These are powerful tools and they are available to us all and they are felt by us all. The ener- gy of that love is never wasted or lost. It knows ex- actly where it needs to go. Sorrowful, seemingly inexplicable, tragedies oc- cur in this world from time to time and many of us are left weeping and shaking our heads in bewilder- ment. We feel, deeply, the ripple in the unified field of human consciousness and we are compelled to do something. But what? Love, I think. The answer is always, love. Love in a kind thought, a prayer, and yes, even a hockey stick on a porch. –Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column A hockey stick on a porch As a physician, and a proud Canadian, I'm grate- ful to live in a country where everyone has access to health-care services. Until recently, however, one as- pect of our system has been somewhat overlooked - resi- dential hospice care. In the words of one woman with a palliative diagnosis as she arrived at a hospice centre surrounded by family, "I still have a lot of living to do." Living, not dying. Despite the benefits of residential hospice care, for residents and their family members, Durham Region remains one of the only com- parable regions in the prov- ince without this essential resource. The good news is that governments around the world are now recogniz- ing the value of hospice care centres with the province recently announcing sup- port for 20 residential hos- pice beds in Durham Region. Recently, Durham Re- gion Hospice, a partnership between Durham Hospice and VON Durham Commu- nity Corporation, launched Comfort, Care, Compassion, a capital campaign to raise $15 million toward the con- struction of residential hos- pice centres in Clarington and Whitby. The campaign is running in tandem with the Building for Compas- sionate Care capital cam- paign in support of Oak Ridges Hospice in Port Per- ry. Focused on living by em- powering individuals with a palliative diagnosis to choose how they navigate their final journey while helping their families cope with and prepare for their fi- nal stages of life, residential hospice provides care - at no cost to residents or their family members - in a sup- portive, flexible and home- like environment. An inter- disciplinary team of health- care professionals provide pain and symptom manage- ment, and staff and commu- nity volunteers offer pro- grams and services to en- sure comfort, care and com- passion for all residents. Once constructed, each hospice will offer private rooms, free parking, unre- stricted visiting hours and the ability to live freely.

The 15,000-square foot facility includes a store and coming soon, indoor firing range. Also pictured are, directly to the Mayor’s right, Fred Pellegrino, owner of FOC, Iris Nicolaison, Business Development Manager with the Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade and store staff. To the Mayor’s left are Ontario PC Ajax riding candidate Rod Phillips, and Mrs. and Mr. Wang, plaza owners. Pictured in the back are staff members, suppliers and friends and family. FOC would like to thank the 5,500+ people who came from all over Ontario and beyond in support of our opening! FOC is located at 282 Monarch Ave., Unit 25, West side of the building, Ajax. Advertisement AJAX - One of Toronto's top Realtors is also hoping to have a top anthem. Sa- cha Singh of Ajax has writ- ten a new song about the Toronto Raptors called Fix Yuh. Singh said, "The Fix Yuh chant, or 'Come into the 6ix and we'll Fix Yuh' chant, means we will have an im- pact on you. This city will have an impact on you, whether it's through sports or coming into the city to visit, we'll leave an impact on you."? Singh first wrote the song a year-and-a-half ago while packing his bag to go to the gym. He had been at a Raptors game the day be- fore and a rhythm popped into his head. He thought it would make a good "hype song" for the team. When he was younger, Singh worked in the music industry. He worked with other artists and tried to be a musician himself. With the song, he wanted to teach young people to be persistent and not give up on their dreams. After he had the idea, he contacted a producer and started working on the song. He wasn't originally going to voice it but was en- couraged to keep his track. "The song was basically inspired by the city of To- ronto and the Raptors," Singh said. Nothing happened with the song after that, until this February when Tan- isha Scott, a choreogra- pher who's worked with Ri- hanna, Cardi B and Drake, heard the song. She gave Singh encour- agement to do something with the song. He sent her conceptual visuals of what the song might look like as a video. After seeing that, she wanted to get on board to choreograph it. Then Singh started put- ting the "Krush Dem Krew" together, which are what Singh calls everyone who was involved in the video. He said, "The 'Krush Dem Krew' just came out of nowhere. It came from a sports theme, of other teams coming to play us. We're going to crush them." Scott partnered with an- other choreographer, Mark Samuels, who cho- reographed a majority of the song with Scott's input, as Scott was out of the country. She later flew in for the filming of the video. Caitlin Wright, a Toron- to stylist, wanted the danc- ers to have a "tough-chic look," according to Singh. "We wanted them to look like tough girls who can handle anything," said Singh. The dancers started the choreography at 10 p.m. and danced in the rain and cold until 5 a.m. Singh said they always had a smile on their face. From the time Singh de- cided to create a music vid- eo for Fix Yuh, and the day they filmed it, 35 days had passed. "Everyone in this pro- ject is from Toronto," said Singh. A former Raptor and team consultant, Jamaal Magloire, was on set for the filming. Toronto rappers Dream Warriors and Mi- chie Me made cameos in the video. Singh will not be fea- tured in the video. He says, "This is not about me. It's about the city and the Raptors. It's a pas- sion project that I want people to know about." Singh said the video is set to be released next week, he hopes for Wednes- day, April 18. Currently, Singh has uploaded a promo video for the full song on YouTube. It has more than 500,000 views. He said the feedback has been positive. "The feedback's been great. People are really ex- cited and pumped. They can't wait to hear it in the stadium," Singh said. He agrees. He says he will keep promoting the song until it hopefully ends up playing at a game.

Paul Ristow Founder’s Cup and Community Spirit Award Community Spirit Award The DRAR Community Spirit Award was created to recognize the exceptional community volunteer contributions from the past year of a member of the Durham Region Association of REALTORS®. This award will be presented to a Member who has made exceptional commu- nity volunteer contributions during the year; who may or may not necessarily be an active DRAR Volunteer. All submissions received were very worthy, but there was a Member with exceptional volunteer contributions in our community. Michael Baird, the recipient of the Community Spirit Award, has for several years now, run a successful golf tournament donating all proceeds to Clarington Central Lunch Buddies and Hearth Place. Last year, the tournament raised an impressive $9,000. He regularly pays to feed the rst 100 people in line at St. Vincent’s Kitchen and has recently started a local coat drive, collecting 250 coats so far for people in need. He is a weekly volunteer at YMCA and regularly participates in events with the Lunch Buddies. Everything he does is done to help others and we believe his community spirit is very commendable. W. Paul Ristow Durham Region Association of REALTORS® (DRAR) was founded in 1954 by W. Paul Ristow who, along with a group of Brokers, met out of a common interest to address the growing need for establishing real estate standards in Eastern Ontario. After his death, the Ristow family donated the W. Paul Ristow Founder’s Cup, which is presented annually at the DRAR Spring AGM to a Director or Commit- tee member whose commitment and service to the Association was exem- plary. Rick Siwek, the recipient of the W. Paul Ristow Founders Cup, has been a Member of DRAR’s Finance Committee for the last 3 years. Rick is always will- ing to o er their expertise, whenever it is needed, concerning the nancial and legal aspects of running a business. Last year, he played an integral role in assisting the Association to secure the new Richmond Street Unit and to help ensure DRAR was scally responsible throughout the process. He was also heavily involved with the DRAR O ce telephone system upgrade. WHERE:57516thLine,PortHope PRICE:$839,900 DETAILS:NatureAtItsBest!

The Pickering Innova- tion Corridor is comprised of 800 acres of provincially owned land along Hwy. 407 between York-Durham Townline Road and Brock Road. A tractor and heavy equipment manufacturer has announced it will be moving its head office and warehouse operations to a new facility in the area by the end of 2019. Kubota Canada Ltd. (KCL), a subsidiary of Kubo- ta Corporation in Japan, has operated in Canada from Markham since 1975. The project is expected to cost $67 million for the 50 acres of land it purchased and the building. "Pickering was selected as our future head office lo- cation because it provides a great sense of community and lends itself perfectly to our growing technological advancements," said Bob Hickey, president of KCL. "Our new location will en- able us to have easy access to highways, affordable housing for our employees, as well as to equipment test- ing and training areas." The surface area will be 565,500 square feet with the opportunity to increase to one million. KCL plans to grow from 190 current em- ployees to 250 by 2027. Red Crest Developments will be building two adja- cent office buildings for a combined 300,000 square feet. There will be opportu- nities for businesses to lease office space. Also, the Behar Group will be building a four-star hotel with an ad- joining convention centre that will be 30,000 square feet. Pickering purchased se- lect prime acreage in the Pickering Innovation Corri- dor from the province in or- der to market, sell and man- age the economic develop- ment opportunity. "The City of Pickering's bold and innovative ap- proach of purchasing and managing a portion of these provincial lands was instru- mental in signing the inno- vation corridor's first an- chor tenants. It demon- strates that we're hungry and are willing to do what it takes to earn your busi- ness," said Mayor Dave Ryan. "More importantly, these initial investments will kickstart immense commercial and industrial growth along Highway 407, which will create thousands of new jobs and strengthen both Pickering and Dur- ham's economy over the next two decades."

Jason Liebregts / Metroland FOCUS ON FAMILYFOCUSON SENIORS FOCUS ON HEALTH FOCUS ON FOOD & WINE Harness the power of plants and reap important health benefits urges Dr. Jessica Ross Eat your vegetables. When it came to your health, mom and dad hit this nail on the head. And their wisdom still holds true: adopting a more herbivorous lifestyle is one of the best lifestyle changes you can make to improve your physical and mental well- being. So harness the power of plants and reap these important health benefits. Live longer. Evidence continues to mount in support of the Mediterranean diet, which consists of vegetables and fruits, nuts and seeds, legumes, soy, whole grains, herbs, spices and olive oil. Plants provide the majority of protein, with some fish in the mix. Sweets and processed foods are a rarity. Following this diet reduces your risk of heart dis- ease and cancer; in fact, you may live up to two years longer. Plus, your mind and body both stay fitter as you age. Get your vitamins. A third of Canadians don’t get adequate magnesium, calcium and vitamin A. Many are also deficient in vitamin C, zinc, vitamin B6... the list continues. The overly-processed, nutri- ent-sparse western diet lacks the neces- sary vitamins and minerals for optimal health. Yet a cup of spinach contains over 100-per cent of your recommended daily intake of vitamins A and C. A handful of pumpkin seeds bring home 20-per cent of your required magnesium. Bottom line? Plants are nature’s multivitamins. Lose weight. That’s right. Not only will you be healthier, you’ll look and feel the part too. Research shows that those who abide by a Mediterranean diet are less likely to develop obesity. If they’re already overweight, they’re more likely to lose weight. When it comes to animal protein, two servings weekly of fatty fish, and less frequent intake of lean meat such as chicken, can round out a healthy diet. But, processed meats — such as bacon and ham — are classified as a group one carcinogen by the World Health Organi- zation (joining the ranks of asbestos and cigarette smoke). So, steer clear. The moral of the story is that if you didn’t listen to mom and dad back then, listen to the doctor now: eat your veggies. --- Dr. Jessica Ross practises medicine in Port Perry.

Pickering Town Centre www.kleinfootcare.ca I am confused by the wide variety of athletic shoes and the choice between cress trainers and shoes specific to my activity. Can you help clear my confusion? You haven’t given me enough information specific to your foot structure and sport type to accurately answer your question. I do, however think it’s important to spend some time addressing the purchase of new shoes. With normal everyday activity the average person walks over 100,00 kilometres in their lifetime, about four times around the world. The foot must shock adsorb on impact. Adjust to contours in the ground or changes in surface firmness and propel you in all directions. The shoe type and fit cannot be over emphasized for everyday wear, but it certainly takes on greater importance with athletics. To answer the first part of your question, a cross trainer is not a shoe that will fulfill all the needs of a serious athlete, whether he participates in one sport or multitude sports. For example, the motion of the foot in a racquet sport with all the lateral or side to side movement, as well as the sudden starts and stops is far different than the heel to toe shock absorbing requirements of the foot with jogging. However, the cross-trainer may full the needs of the casual athlete or young person. Before getting into specifics of shoe types, knowing when where and how to get a good fit is a good place to begin, so here are my TOP 10 LIST FOR BUYING SHOES: 1. Buy shoes late in the day, feet swell as the day goes on as well as with exercise 2. Go to a store where the sales staff are knowledgeable, the shoe selection is wide, where the staff participate in your specific sport and they have an understanding of biomechanics 3. Always have your feet measured while standing before your purchase of every new shoe. Never assume your foot size is the same, feet lengthen and spay with aging. Not all size is created equal and eight in one brand may be and eight and a half in another. 4. Shoes should be approximately a half inch or a thumb nail longer than your largest toe, and remember that for about 30 percent of the population the longest toe is not the big toe 5. The widest part of your foot should fit the widest part of the shoe and should always be fitted for the larger foot 6. The heel should fit snuggly to avoid excessive movement and blisters, yet the toes should have room to wiggle 7. Always try the shoe on with the same type of sock you will be wearing for the sport that the shoes were intended for. 8. Hewn relying on shoes, walk around the store for several minutes and test drive the shoes for their specific activity. For example, try the jogging shoe on a treadmill or hiking boot on an inclined surface to gauge for slippage 9. If you have orthotics always take them with you when trying on shoes 10. Shoes rarely stretch in size. If it doesn’t feel good in the store, it probably never will. It should not need a break in period or an insole or filler, nor should it need to be stretched to feel good and don’t let the salesperson substitute a wider shoe because he doesn’t have the correct size. For example, a nine C cannot be replaced with an eight and a half D Next issue we will address the general shoe type (not brand_ you may need. whether you require a shoe for stability, motion control or cushioning will depend on whether you under pronate, over pronate or supinate. Remember warm, mechanically sound feet will allow for many hours of trouble free skiing.
