"It's a fundamental util-ity," she said of the lack of high-speed connectivity in areas of the riding. "Whatare you doing to make surewe have the structure and the strategy for that infra-structure?"For Pickering residentDavid Steele, health care and long-term care are topof mind."I think all hospitals are understaffed, and theyhaven't grown with thepopulation," he said, not-ing nurses especially should be increased. He al-so would like to see a de-tailed breakdown of in- vestments to improvelong-term care.Housing and develop-ment are also top issues for Steele, who would liketo see low-rise town homesbuilt and government as-sistance for first-time home buyers. When itcomes to development,he'd like to see the end of Minister's Zoning Orders(MZOs)."It should go throughthe planning process," he said of the controversialplanning tool. While voters have sent Liberal Jennifer O'Con-nell to Parliament twice atthe federal level since the riding was formed, the2018 election went to Con-servative Peter Bethlen-falvy, who running for re- election."This is an election forthe Progressive Conserva- tives to lose; they're in thedriver's seat right now,"said David Sheinin, a his-tory professor at Trent University and politicalcommentator. He expects inflation, the economy and housingto be the issues that dom-inate election discussion. Sheinin says incum- bent Bethelenfalvy is poll-ing at about 36 per cent,and although the Liberalshave gained some ground, it's "not enough to getthem anywhere" due tovoters being "worried about a split vote on theleft or centre left."Formore information on can-didates or to find out where to vote, visit www.e-lections.on.ca.

"I've seen very little datato support ... their very rushed unveiling of thegaming machines. There'sbeen very little consulta- tion with First Nations, butalso with Ontarians in gen-eral and certainly the ser-vice provider operators that run the land-based fa-cilities within the province.I think the operators are allon board from what I am understanding and they arefeeling generally the sameway that they have great concern around the exis-tential threat that is iGam-ing."Instead of relaxing its re- strictions on who can runan internet gaming site inOntario, making it basical- ly a "Wild West" free-for-allfor companies across Cana-da as well as those offshore,LaRocca said the province should have taken a slowapproach by offering onlinegambling to be run by exist- ing brick-and-mortar casi-no operations through a"tethering" system. "That is the very least they can do, because thethreat to our gaming posi-tions remains live, certain-ly speaking on behalf of the First Nation and the GreatBlue Heron, but it's really athreat to all gaming across the province in the sensethat anyone with the inter-net can game from their liv-ing room," said the MSIFN chief."So it's really quite dis-turbing and I think that for those service providers andthose communities thathave put their blood, sweatand tears into proliferating responsible, successfulgaming in the province andinvesting in Ontario, I thinkthat they ... should be the most concerned becausethey're in direct competi-tion with the province who is also the regulator. Theirony is palpable."In late January of thisyear, Scugog councillors passed a resolution callingon the province to "providesome certainty" that the new iGaming model wouldnot negatively impact theexisting land-based gam-bling industry. "I'm concerned that thisiGaming model, if notthought through appropri- ately, can have some nega-tive impacts for an industrythat employs people in our region and contributes to our local economy," Ward 3Coun. Robert Rock saidbringing forward his noticeof motion at the Jan. 31 meeting.Supporting the motionput forward by Scugog was Ajax, which also has a stakein iGaming with uncertain-ty swirling around the fu-ture of its own casino, with its lease running out in2026. Ajax has used some ofits share of those casino funds to build a new recre-ation centre as well as up-date its fleet of vehicles us-ing the $96 million it has re- ceived to date."I think it's going to haveavery significant impact,"said Sterling Lee, the re- gional Ward 2 councillor. "Iunderstand the internet iswhere everything is going. But we also understandthat these casinos, whichhost municipalities have intheir jurisdictions, there's a lot of significant revenue tothe towns that create majorpilot projects. "And when you start tak-ing away from brick andmortar and going towardsan iGaming model, there is no kind of guarantee thathost municipalities will seeany of that money or even where any of that moneygoes and that's not evenconsidering any of the jobs that are possibly at risk as a result, because there's nosort of mandate that iGam-ing operators be Canadianowned or Canadian run or Canadian businesses."In neighbouring Picker-ing, where a new rival gam- ing hall recently opened up,Mayor Dave Ryan says hisconcerns are not as muchwith competition from iGaming as the province'sdecision to open up thegambling industry to out-siders before existing casi-nos can get back on theirfeet post-pandemic."iGaming is part of the overall package and we un-derstand that and we don'thave any difficulty withiGaming, specifically, I am concerned about the imple-mentation of the iGamingmodel; I mean, we're just go- ing through a restart, if youwill, of the bricks and mor-tar casinos," he said.According to Ryan, Pick- ering has received $7.8 mil-lion over the final threequarters of 2021 for hosting the casino, including al-most $2.3 million in the fi-nal quarter of last year,which the mayor described as "lower" than anticipated."You can see there's a sig-nificant revenue stream there for which the city is ...grateful and we're also anx-ious to see that revenue stream is protected, obvi- ously. The other seriousconcern is, of course, for thejobs that are associatedwith the casino. So we're very concerned that the ca-sino, the bricks and mortaroperation, be allowed to re- establish itself, if you will,post-pandemic. And sothat's our concern relativeto the iGaming. That is just the implementation sched-ule and how they're going toallow the existing casinos toparticipate in that iGaminggoing forward.It's estimated by the casi-no industry that iGaming could, over five years, jeop-ardize 2,500 gaming halljobs and result in $190 mil-lion less in municipal con- tributions and a loss of $3billion in provincial tax rev-enue. Great Canadian GamingCorporation, which oper-ates the three Durham casi-nos, also did not wish to be interviewed for this articleor answer submitted ques-tions. Instead, Chuck Keel- ing, the company's execu-tive vice-president of stake-holder relations and re-sponsible gaming, provided a statement on behalf ofTony Rodio, the chief exec-utive officer. "Great Canadian sup-ports fair, competitive gam-ing rules, whether for land- based facilities or online... While Great Canadian sup-ports iGaming in principleand has every intention of participating in the market,we continue to engage withthe provincial governmentand its various agencies re- garding our concerns withthe province's iGamingmodel. We are committed to investing hundreds of mil-lions in our facilities, gener-ating billions in revenue forthe provincial government, and employing thousandsof Ontarians, and we willcontinue to advocate forpolicies that support thatcommitment."NordStar, an investmentcompany led by Jordan Bi- tove and Paul Rivett, whichalso owns Torstar, the own-er of this newspaper andother media properties, al- so has entered the onlinegambling world. NorthStarGaming, a gaming venture of NordStar, has said itplans to launch an onlinebetting brand and take betson sports. It said it has reached an advertising andmarketing services agree-ment with Torstar.

Required to work from home due to social distancing recommendations, millions of working professionals suddenly found them- selves setting up shop at kitchen tables or islands, in alcoves, garages, or even walk-in closets. Those make- shift offices were never supposed to be permanent, but as companies loosen workplace policies and embrace full remote or hybrid working arrangements, profession- als are seeking more permanent home office solutions. Home additions are a possibility for homeowners who need more usable square footage, but add-ons may not be the right option for everyone. If adding on won’t work, homeowners may want to look up ... at their attics. Attics with ample space can make for ideal home of- fices, as they’re away from the hustle and bustle of a home’s main floor. That can make it easier to concen- trate when everyone is in the house and reduce the likeli- hood that video calls with colleagues and clients will be interrupted by kids and pets. Attic conversions are not always possible, and the following are three important factors homeowners may need to consider before they can go forward with such projects. 1. Dimensions: Both the renovation experts at This Old House and the real estate experts at UpNest in- dicate that at least half of a finished attic must be a minimum of seven feet high and seven feet wide and 70 square feet. Requirements may differ depending on where homeowners live, but that 7-7-70 guideline is generally the minimum requirement. An attic that fails to meet such requirements won’t necessarily be a lost cause, but it might be costly to make adjustments that ultimately align with local codes. 2. Access: Access is another aspect that must ad- here to local safety guidelines. Many attics are acces- sible only through pulldown ladders, but that will have to change if homeowners repurpose their attic spaces. A staircase that complies with local laws will need to be installed, and contractors can work with homeowners to build that and estimate the cost. Homeowners who sim- ply want to put desks in their attics without going with full-fledged conversions are urged to adhere to local ac- cess requirements anyway, as they’re intended to ensure residents can safely escape attics in the case of a fire or another emergency. 3. Climate control: Attics are converted to provide res- idents with more livable space. Converted space is only livable if the climate within the attic can be controlled so it’s cool in the summer and warm in the winter. An exist- ing HVAC unit needs to efficiently heat and cool an extra room. If it can’t, bills might spike because the rest of the home likely won’t be as comfortable, forcing homeown- ers to adjust thermostats to offset that discomfort. That also could affect the unit’s life expectancy. Before go- ing forward with an attic renovation, homeowners should contact HVAC professionals to determine if attic spaces can be serviced with the existing units and ductwork, or if an alternative arrangement must be worked out to make the spaces livable. Attic conversions can be great ways to make existing spaces more livable. Homeowners considering such proj- ects should pay attention to three important variables as they try to determine if attic conversions will work for them.

LEARN MORE AT DURHAMREGION.COM Ontario's appeals court has upheld the conviction of a man found guilty ofan armed robbery at an Ajax bank, andthe lengthy prison term he received for his crimes.A Durham Region judge was right todismiss a motion by Jabourou Abdoul-kader to exclude evidence collected by Durham police as they investigated therobbery, and to accept as a fact that rob-bery victims had been menaced with areal gun, according to the ruling by theOntario Court of Appeal.Abdoulkader, of Brampton, was ar-rested in November of 2017 and charged with the robbery of a TD bank branchat Westney and Kingston roads. He wasalso charged with an attempted rob-bery at a bank in Mississauga prior to the Ajax incident.During the Ajax robbery on Oct. 20,2017, a masked man armed with a gun accosted bank employees as they pre-pared to open for the day, herding theminto a vault and then ordering them toopen a safe. During the robbery, the suspect "racked" the handgun he car-ried, according to evidence. The sus-pect fled with cash. Abdoulkader was convicted of allcharges he faced — they included rob-bery with a restricted or prohibitedfirearm and forcible confinement — and was sentenced to nine years in pris-on.Abdoulkader's appeal was based on two assertions: that evidence seized byDurham police when they executed asearch warrant should have been ex- cluded at trial, and that trial JudgeJocelyn Speyer erred in concluding thegun used in the robbery was real. During his trial in Oshawa, Abdoul-kader's defence lawyer urged Speyer toexclude evidence — including a cell- phone and more than $222,500 in cash— seized by Durham police when theysearched the suspect's house and car,on the grounds the warrant was inval- id. The defence argued police filed in-accurate information in applying forthe warrant, mistakenly indicating that Abdoulkader had been convictedof robberies similar to the one in Ajax.Abdoulkader, in fact, was acquittedof a bank robbery mentioned in the ITO, but was at the time on parole for anattempted robbery of an armoured car.Speyer concluded that police had formed reasonable grounds to con-clude evidence linked to the incidentsin Ajax and Mississauga would be un- covered during the searches. In spite ofthe factual error, the warrant wasdeemed valid. The Appeal Court similarly rejectedthe motion to dismiss evidence, alongwith a submission by Abdoulkader's lawyers that Speyer erred in conclud-ing a real firearm was used during therobberies. The defence submitted therewas no evidence to prove the gun used during the robbery wasn't a replica."The trial judge's finding that thegun was real was amply supported by the record," the ruling says. "The videosurveillance showed the robber point-ing the gun at the bank employees in anobviously threatening way."

FARM BOY™ GOURMET BURGERS BEEF, CHICKEN OR TURKEY 799 /lb 17.61/k g Prom is back after twoyears and Durham DistrictSchool Board (DDSB) highschools are making somechanges for 2022 with a goalof making the event more affordable, inclusive andwelcoming. "We need a chance to besocial but we want to in- clude as opposed to ex-clude," says James Klod-nicki, principal at Donald A. Wilson SecondarySchool in Whitby, wherethis year's event has beendubbed the Grade 12 Social. "We rebranded it toGrade 12 Social because ofthe fact that there were a lot of ... exclusionary points that were tied to theword 'prom' in the past," he says, noting the LGBTQIAcommunity has been "verymuch not included," whilestudents from low-income families may also have feltleft out. Some DDSB high schools are still calling theevent prom, while othersare going with "graduationcelebration," or "grad for- mal."Event details vary fromschool to school, but DDSBhigh school officials haveset some general guide-lines for the 2022 event in-cluding: tickets that are $100 or less; a shorter eventduration; ensuring thereare activities offered as analternative to dancing; and an education component inadvance such as a presen-tation on impaired driving from MADD Durham.High schools are also be-ing encouraged to makeprom awards inclusive and avoid categories such asprom king and queen.The changes are being greeted as "very needed" by some students and criti-cized as "ridiculous" by others.One DDSB student whotook to social media topraise the changes says "prom historically has het-eronormative undertones"and can feel unwelcoming to LGBTQIA+ students. Another said students"faced enough stress thelast two years" and "de- serve a regular, traditionalprom."Donald A Wilson'sthree-hour social will run from 6 to 9 p.m. with a $90price tag that includes athree-course dinner, pro- fessional photo booth, can-dy bar and the option ofdancing along with gamesand other activities. As someone who has su-pervised proms for the last20 years, Klodnicki says the decision to make the 2022events shorter — wrappingup around 9 p.m. in mostcases as opposed to 10 or 11 p.m. — is because studentsoften clear out soon afterdinner to head to after-par- ties.

THE RACE:"This is an electionfor the Progressive Conserva-tives to lose, they're in the driver's seat right now," says David Shei-nin, a history professor at TrentUniversity and political commen-tator. But Sheinin says Ajax is one oftwo ridings in Durham up forgrabs after Rod Phillips an-nounced he would not seek re-election. Patrice Barnes is running forthe Progressive Conservatives. "We really don't know who'sgoing to win the Ajax riding, al-though the NDP seem to be out ofit," Sheinin says of recent data. Since the interview, ChristineSantos was named the New Dem- ocratic Party candidate. Former mayor Steve Parishhad announced he was runningfor the Ontario NDP but, shortlythereafter, history changed his plans. Parish was mayor whenAjax council chose to name astreet after the captain of a Ger- man war ship during the SecondWar, and after coming under pub-lic scrutiny he withdrew. "Liberals haven't resonated enough with voters to take themover the top, since again, peopleare worried about a split vote onthe left or centre left," Sheinin says.Liberal party candidate Am-ber Bowen announced she was running early in the campaign.The other candidates are:Frank Lopez for the None of theAbove Party; Garry Reader for New Blue Party of Ontario; Aar-on Hopkins for Ontario Party; Neil Runnalls for Green Party ofOntario; and Intab Ali and AllenHadley, both independents. THE ISSUES: Joan Wideman,vice-president of corporate ser-vices of Lenbrook Canada Solu- tions and Ajax-Pickering Boardof Trade's chair of the govern-ment relations committee, says amember survey found broad- band, a plan to get people back towork after the pandemic, hous-ing costs and improving the hos- pital system are key issues.The need for broadband wasevident for all types of businessesduring the pandemic. "It's a fundamental utility,"she says. "What are you doing tomake sure we have the structureand the strategy for that infra- structure?"High housing prices are driv-ing young people out of the area. "They're moving to other plac-es to just try to afford something,"Wideman says.A skilled labour shortage is af- fecting all levels of employment."They need to find out why and give us an answer on what they'regoing to do about it," she says.Businesses want a plan for aneconomic recovery from the pan- demic."Some have pivoted and donewell but it's been very challeng- ing," Wideman says. "Some of ushave lasted but are just hangingon by our fingernails."Better transportation infra- structure, inflation, and hospitaland long-term care improve- ments are all big concerns for the board.In March, Mayor Shaun Col-lier called on candidates to com- mit to including the upper reach-es of the Carruthers Creek head-waters in the Greenbelt."The matter is of great con- cern to Ajax voters due to the po-tential downstream impacts thatdevelopment in the area (north- east Pickering) would have onAjax residents," he said. He said the designation wouldensure this ecologically sensitive area is protected permanently. "Our focus should be on creat-ing more options to live and work in current community areas," hesaid.Sheinin expects inflation, theeconomy and housing to be the is- sues that dominate election dis-cussion over the coming weeks —in Durham and across Ontario. BACKGROUND:Liberal MPP Joe Dickson held the Ajax-Pickeringseat since 2007, but lost to PC RodPhilips in 2018 in the new Ajax riding. Phillips, who served inthree cabinet portfolios, an-nounced in January he was step-ping down and would not seek re- election.–With files from Jillian Follert AJAX RIDING: 8 CANDIDATES ON BALLOTPROVINCIAL ELECTION NO INCUMBENT RUNNING IN UPCOMING PROVINCIAL ELECTION Ajax Mayor Shaun Collier says a commitment to protect the Carruthers Creek headwaters is an important issue for Ajax voters in the provincial election.

Mary passed away at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, surrounded by her loving husband Bill, her three cherished sons Corbin, Dylan and Jacob, and their partners Ashley, Trish and Melanie. Mary is survived by her three sisters Shirley Gilchrist (Bill) in Winnipeg, Nancy Glover (Glenn) in Calgary and Joyce Ibbott-Belvin (Wayne) in Ajax. She also leaves behind her Mother-in-Law Mary Stone in Montreal, Brother-in-Law Brian Stone (Cindy) in Huntsville, Sister-in-Law Carolyn in Montreal, as well as many nieces, nephews, countless friends, acquaintances, and her beloved Beagle Ellie. Mary is predeceased by her parents Laurie and Marjorie Ibbott, and her Father-in-Law William Moffatt Stone Mary and Bill met in high school, and were married 41 years ago in her hometown of Winnipeg, MB. She was an incredibly supportive and loving wife, and leaves an enormous void. There wasn't anything Mary would not do for her family. Her sons were her world, and she took such joy in watching her young boys grow into fine young men. Mary enjoyed following her family and friends on social media. She loved viewing their pictures and seeing them grow up. Mary was very close to her sister Joyce, her nieces Noelle and Quinn, and nephew Trevor. They were always part of any family celebration, get together, pool parties or holiday dinners. Table side chatter was always fun and comical, which delighted Mary to no end. Mary was a woman of many talents. Beyond her 40+ year career as an orthodontic dental hygienist, Mary was always working on some project; sewing, gardening, home renovations, or building something. She enjoyed golfing, swimming, skiing, reading, music, crossword puzzles, her power tools, and was a big Blue Jays fan. She participated actively in her sons' hockey and baseball years, alongside her husband. Many thanks are given to the Doctors and Staff at the Durham Regional Cancer Centre for their dedicated and compassionate care. The family is planning a Celebration of Life on July 9, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. at All Saints Anglican Church, 300 Dundas Street West, Whitby. Please join us if you can.
