Students in Durham won't be heading back to class in person after the Aprilbreak ends.Premier Doug Ford announced on April12 that all schools in Ontario will shift to virtual learning next week in response torising COVID-19 cases, the spread of CO-VID variants and pressure on the healthcare system. "The problem is not in our schools, it isin our community.

School boards will be directed to makeprovisions for in-person support for stu-dents with special education needs whocannot be accommodated through remote learning.Ford said officials will "keep a constanteye on the data," but did not speculate on when students might return to in-personclasses. "No one wants our kids in school morethan I do," Ford said. "But with COVIDspreading like wildfire, with these deadlyvariants taking hold in Ontario, we simplycan't be too cautious right now."The number of active COVID-19 cases in Durham schools climbed to a record highof 275 as of April 12 after about 55 new caseswere reported.

Lakeridge Health (LH)has followed provincial or-ders and on Monday began to ramp down elective onnon-emergency surgeriesin Durham Region.LH President and CEO Cynthia Davis said, "Effec-tive today (April 12), wehave ramped down elective surgeries and non-emer-gency surgeries. One of thethings we will continue todo is we'll continue to look at those time-sensitive sur-geries, particularly the can-cer-related surgeries, anddetermine where we have an opportunity to continuewith those important sur-geries." Last week, OntarioHealth sent out a directiveto hospitals to ramp downelective and non-emergen- cy surgeries to ensure hos-pitals had capacity to dealwith surging COVID-19 cases. "Given increasing casecounts and widespreadcommunity transmissionacross many parts of the province, we are facingmounting and extremepressure on our critical care capacity," OntarioHealth President Matt An-derson said in the directive.The directive doesn't ap- ply to hospitals in NorthernOntario and it doesn't applyto paediatric surgeries in specialty hospitals."We'll be assessing thaton an ongoing basis. We'llcontinue on with the ambu- latory care activity andagain it will be assessed onadaily basis," Davis said.With surgeries being canceled, the hospital willbe looking at what to dowith staff involved in sur- gery."As this point, we are as-sessing our human re-sources and doing a deeper plan in terms of the skill setof our staff have and poten-tially where and when we'll need to redeploy them. But, at this point, we're continu-ing to assess it day-by-day.There hasn't been anybroad, redeployment of staff at this point," Davisnoted.She stated, "We have been assessing what itmeans to cancel surgery forpatients and their familiesand to their lives. It's not something we do lightly.Under these governmentdirections, we are certainly ramping down so we've gotgood bed capacity and hu-man resource capacity.We'll continue to look at the time-sensitive surgeries,the cancer surgeries almoston a daily basis so we cancontinue to do what we do." Some COVID patientsfrom Durham have had tobe transferred to other sys- tems for care, she noted."That's to make sure allof us have the capacity todeal with new admissions that come through our hos-pital locations whereverthey might be throughout the province. So we have ab- solutely and we'll continueto use that system so all ofus are in a position to sup-port whatever comes through our doors at our lo-cations.""I'm extremely grateful for our staff and physiciansand really the entire Dur-ham Region in terms of firstresponders and dedicated professionals. They havebeen working tirelessly forpatients and care since thispandemic began. There'sno doubt though that we areentering unprecedentedtimes associated with wave three. We've seen rapid in-creases in terms of thenumber of patients that arepresenting to our emergen- cy departments and thosethat go on to be admitted tocritical care units." LH has seen a 42 per centincrease in in-patient ad-missions with people whoare COVID positive over the last two weeks in Ontario,she said."In our region, we've seen those translate at La- keridge as well."On Sunday, April 11,there were 74-COVID posi-tive patients that were an ICU or admitted to a bed atLakeridge, she noted."That represented a 155 per cent increase from justover three weeks ago, whenwe had 29 patients," Davissaid. With the variants of con-cern, the risk of being ad-mitted are two times higherthan with the parent, ororiginal, virus. The risk ofdeath is 1.5 per cent higher,she added. "Particularly being asso-ciated with the variants weare seeing, B1.1.7. What wesee for the people arriving and ultimately being admit-ted to hospital, they areyounger," she said. People can help the hos-pital by getting vaccinatedand by following the publichealth measures, including staying at home, maskwearing, physical distanc-ing and washing their hands.

SERVIcE cEnTER HOURS Ontario and the Mast Trailat Glen Rouge Camp-ground. "I think this is an ill-con-ceived project that needs tobe re-examined," Robb said. Currently, pedestriansmust cross two Highway 401ramps or walk on sidestreets to move between all areas of the park north ofRouge Beach.Pickering residents Rosemary and Jonathan Ol-iver said Parks Canada ap-pears to be ignoring pre-ex-isting agreements and regu- lations, which were createdto protect important natu-ral areas such as the RougeMarsh. "We are extremely con-cerned about the effect onnature and wildlife," said Rosemary Oliver, addingthe wetland is home tomany plants and animals,including endangered spe- cies, and wetlands are dis- appearing in Ontario. But Omar McDadi, su-perintendent of the parksaid, "We will significantlyreduce the human footprint and have less of an impacton wildlife in the area."He said visitors already hike anywhere they want,causing danger to plantsand wildlife. "The issues are systemic and rampant," he said."There are 13.5 kilometres ofunofficial or informal trails in the ravine and marsh ar-ea that are unmanaged anduncontrolled."This causes erosion, trampling, contamination,dumping and poaching."It's an environmentalcatastrophe, the way things are currently designed andthe way things have notbeen cared for in the right way," McDadi said.Robb said the plan willincrease public liability anddrowning risks by inviting people to a boardwalk in a hazardous area with ex- treme flooding events, withwater levels as high as twoto three metres. He said Parks Canada is not plan-ning to elevate the board-walk high enough. In someareas, it will be just half a metre high. "That would be com- pletely submerged in a 25-year flood," Robb said, add-ing this will cause board- walk damage and waste tax-payer money.McDadi said the board-walk is to be built above the 100-year flood level, andParks Canada “has under-taken extensive hydrologi- cal studies to make this sci-entific determination.”Robb listed severalboardwalk alternatives, in- cluding shuttles from Rouge Hill Go Station to the marshor the Glen Rouge Camp-ground. Robb said this boardwalkwill attract even more peo-ple to the area that alreadysees 300,000 visitors per year and create significant traf-fic, parking, littering, tres-passing and noise issues. "Last summer, it was ab-solutely terrifying in termsof the number of people whocame," said Christyne Gauthier, whose property backs onto the park on theScarborough side.But McDadi said the plan will help mitigate theseproblem that already exists.He added the informaltrails are not very accessi- ble, something the board-walk will address."It will be an exciting day when the Rouge Beach Im-provements Project is com-pleted and the accessibilitycommunity will finally have equal access to the RougeRiver from the Great LakesWaterfront Trail and RougeBeach," said Peter Bashaw,member of the PickeringAccessibility AdvisoryCommittee, on the Parks Canada website.The public engagementperiod ends on May 1.

It employs some of the latest technologies to help people personalize their search for a new property. home nder.ca Real Estate *Sales representative **Broker ***Broker of record ADVERTISING FEATURE Winter is tough on our homes; the consistent below- freezing temperatures, freez- ing rain and snowstorms can take their toll. While the begin- ning of spring is welcomed with a sigh of relief, it signals that homeowners need to get to work on seasonal mainte- nance tasks to repair any ca- sualties of the cold and prep for the summer ahead. Here, direct insurance provider On- lia shares a springtime mainte- nance checklist to make sure you have your bases covered: Clean your gutters Gutters and downspouts can get clogged by debris — and clogged gutters can cause water damage. Clear your gutters of anything that’s built up over the winter and patch any holes with exterior caulking to make sure they ef- fectively direct all water away from your home. Look out for pests and critters Spring is when the pests and critters come out and can sometimes cause trouble for homeowners. Most notable among them are the termites that tend to swarm in the spring. Experts recommend keeping an eye out for winged insects in and around wood- work. If you find them, they’re likely termites, and you should call pest control right away if you notice signs like discol- oured or drooping drywall or peeling paint that indicates water damage. Check out your roof You don’t need a ladder for this one. Go outside and look at your roof; do a simple visual inspection for loose or missing shingles and call a profession- al if a repair is in order. Inspect your driveway and pathway The constant cycle of freezing and thawing in the winter is tough on concrete and asphalt. Examine your driveways and walkways and take note of damage like cracks and uneven surfaces. They could post a safety haz- ard to those on your property, so it’s best to get them checked out as soon as possi- ble. Even with proactive main- tenance, sometimes you just can’t prevent the unexpected —but you can prepare for it. Protect your home and what’s in it with a solid home insur- ance policy.

MODEL YF6H1ME US 0 MODELRW1H2MES Many Greenwood and Whitevale resi- dents lack access to high-speed internet,and the federal government plans tochange that. On Thursday, April 8, Pickering-Ux- bridge MP Jennifer O'Connell announcedmore than $200,000 in federal funding fortwo projects to bring high-speed internet to 130 underserved households in thenorth Pickering communities. Bell Cana-da is investing an additional $273,000. "The COVID-19 pandemic has proven how essential it is for all Canadians to beconnected to reliable and affordable inter-net access, especially for those living in ru- ral communities," O'Connell said. "Whether you're a student studying in avirtual classroom, an entrepreneur run-ning a business online or a grandparent trying to stay connected with loved ones,this pandemic has highlighted the criticaland immediate need for Canadians to have access to high-speed internet, more thanever before."She said she is "pleased to see this in-vestment in north Pickering, and I look forward to connecting even more residentsand Canadians to this essential servicethrough the government's UniversalBroadband Fund (UBF)." Through the UBF Rapid ResponseStream, the federal government is takingimmediate action to get Canadians con- nected to high-speed internet.The projects announced on April 8 wereapproved within five months of the No-vember 2020 formal launch of the $1.75-bil- lion UBF. Projects funded under the UBF,as well as through other public and privateinvestments, will help connect 98 per cent of Canadians to high-speed internet by2026 and achieve the national target of 100per cent connectivity by 2030. Residents in Greenwood and Whitevale will have better access to high-speed internet following an announcement on Thursday, April 8.

Reg. 607/20 applies to three properties known municipally as 1802 Bayly Street, 1902 Bayly Street and 2028 Kellino Street in the City of Pickering, comprising approximately 92 hectares (227 acres). O. Reg. 607/20 permits a broad mix of commercial, employment and residential uses on the lands described above. It also permits other major tourist and entertainment uses. The City of Pickering has asked the Minister to consider amending O. Reg. 607/20 to remove the land and zoning permissions for the property known municipally as 1802 Bayly Street from O. Reg 607/20. This property is identified as a Warehousing and Logistics Zone in O. Reg. 607/20 which permits warehouse distribution facilities, amongst other uses. Location:See map.

The request came after astory in The Globe and Mailstated the CNSC over-looked dubious data when it extended the plant's oper-ating licence in 2018.OPG said in a statement following the story: "Thedata referenced in the re-cent Globe and Mail storydid not pass our quality as- surance, therefore was notused by OPG staff.... The da-ta OPG provides to the (CNSC) are gathered aspart of our inspection pro-gram and undergo a rigor- ous quality assurance as- sessment before being con-servatively and carefullyanalyzed."The letter from OCAA to the CNSC said PNGS's fuelis contained in pressuretubes which become "brit- tle" with age. OCAA quoted a formerOPG employee who saidOPG has failed to secure ac- curate data on the state ofPickering's extensive andcritical tubing, as well as anuclear engineer and con- sultant who once workedfor OPG, who said in aworst-case scenario, a rup- tured pressure tube couldlead to a series of cascadingfailures, similar to whathappened in the Fukushi- ma disaster of 2011.OCAA said to determineif the pressure tubes are fit for service, the PNGS musttemporarily shut down. "This is no time to beguessing about the opera- tional fitness of one of theworld's oldest nuclear sta-tions," said the letter, signed by chair Jack Gib-bons and director AngelaBischoff.CNSC secretary Marc Leblanc said on behalf ofVelshi in a response onMarch 31, the commission "sees no basis on which itmight reconsider its licens-ing decision to authorize the operation of the PNGS" and said no new evidencehas been raised.In an emailed statement, the CNSC said PNGS is op-erating safely."CNSC staff will nevercompromise safety, and if necessary, can shut downany nuclear facility or ac-tivity in order to protect the public and the environ-ment," it said.It said CNSC staff con-tinue to monitor and in- spect PNGS operations toverify it remains compli-ant. "We are very disappoint-ed that the Canadian Nucle-ar Safety Commission ap-pears to be more interested in protecting OPG's profitsthan the safety of familiesin the GTA," Gibbons said.OPG spokesperson Neal Kelly said in a statementPNGS has an exemplarysafety record and is consid- ered among the world's topperforming stations."Station operations arestrictly regulated by the (CNSC) and they have stat-ed there are no safety con-cerns with respect to pres- sure tubes or any other as-pect of our station — anysuggestion to the contraryis simply false and mislead- ing," Kelly said.In a statement, the Cana-dian Nuclear Workers' Council said PNGS "contin-ues to operate to the higheststandards. The women andmen who work there are nuclear professionals andwould never overlook any-thing that could potentiallypose a risk to themselves,their families or the com-munities they live in."

Anyone who listens to,reads or watches the news could be forgiven for think-ing that Black people ingeneral and Black men inparticular have a greaterproclivity towards vio-lence than any other groupof people in North Ameri- ca. This myth can easily bedismissed by thoughtfulanalysis and observation. Media bias is not a chancehappening but rather a de-liberate subversive act to support a false narrative.And TV shows like "THEFIRST 48 HOURS" don'thelp either. If Black people trulyhad a propensity for vio-lence as we are portrayed, why has there not been adisproportionate numberof egregious acts againstthe general public by Black law enforcement of-ficers? When was the last time anyone heard or saw that aBlack police office assault-ed or violated the rights ofacitizen? Albert Johnson was shot in his home in thepresence of his wife andchildren because an armedwhite Toronto police offi- cer "feared for his life."The recent mass shoot-ings in Atlanta and Boul- der, Colorado, was not thework of any Black man.Captain Jay Baker, spokes-man for the Cherokee County Sheriff's office,characterized 21-year-oldRobert Aaron Long, the suspected shooter of thesix Asian women in Atlan-ta, as "having a really bad day." I would hate to see the result of him having a real-ly, really awful day. According to demogra-pher Kenneth W. Gron- bach and the US CensusBureau, African-Ameri-cans make up 13 per cent, Hispanics 18, Asians fiveand Caucasians 64 per centof the population. Main-stream media, however, would lead one to believethat most crimes are com-mitted by the smaller seg-ments of society. When gender disparity is consid-ered (women commit lesscrimes than men), data skewing becomes evenmore apparent. Black male athletes,who probably are incapa-ble of correctly spelling theword "basketball" or stringing together a fewwords to form a grammat-ically correct sentence, are given more media atten-tion than someone like Dr.Ayanna Howard or Dr.Gladys West. Dr. Ayanna Howard isan African-American andthe first female dean of en-gineering at Ohio State University. She is a Robot-icist and Artificial Intelli-gence (AI) expert and pub- lisher of a book. 'RobotsSex and Race'. Dr. GladysWest, on the other hand, isan African-American mathematician whose cal-culations and computerprogramming helped con- struct a geoid (a mathe-matical model of theearth's shape). Dr. West'smodelling directly contrib- uted to the ubiquitous useof the global positioningsystem (GPS) used for nav- igational purposes in air-planes, ships and automo-biles.Why are these two ex- ceptionally brilliant Blackwomen's names not morewidely known by the gen- eral public? This will hap-pen only when there is eq-uitable and unbiased me-dia reporting of everyone. Not just Black athletes!

Canningtonand Clarington are amongthe top-searched Canadiancities for houses, accordingto recent Google Trends da-ta.The COVID-19 pandemic, lower mortgage rates andnew consumer trends areimpacting the real-estatemarket, said a statement from Google Canada. More and more Canadians aremoving outside of the cityand they're looking for big-ger living spaces, according to the Google trends data. For local expertise, RE/MAX Rouge River Realty Ltd brokerage realtor VesnaWhalen was asked for her in-terpretation of the real es-tate search engine trends. She highlighted three inter-esting factors that could becontributing to the popular- ity of the dream of small-town home ownership.1. Buyers are looking tosmall towns in Durham because Toronto is too ex-pensive and too crowded."They have been price-d out of the housing marketcloser to Toronto. They arecoming here first and fore-most because housing is more attainable than that inToronto, (other parts of)Durham, or the west end. Ina lot of cases they are looking for more space, and quality of life. We are fortu-nate to have good schools, great amenities, and infra-structure is catching up(sometimes slower than wewould like) and all within proximity of the city espe-cially with the future GOTrain expansion. We do also have a lot of new single fami-ly homes being built in ourarea, whereas in Toronto orsome areas west there is no- where to go but up, so you are looking at multi-residen-tial for the same price." 2. The COVID-19 pan-demic has impacted howpeople work and invest."From my perspective buyers are looking for space,less congestion, a place theycan work from home. With the pandemic and peopleshifting to working fromhome, or in some cases piv-oting to starting their own home-based businesses. And with the uncertainty ofthe stock market at the be-ginning of the pandemic (mypersonal opinion here), peo- ple are looking to put theirmoney into something tan-gible. Even if for some rea- son the housing market dips,historically it's always comeroaring back. I've also hadthe conversation with peo- ple that are cashing out inToronto for way more thanthey ever thought and down- sizing out to the "burbs" andbeing mortgage-free, or al-most mortgage-free. 3. Low-interest rates have homeowners consid-ering refinancing."Another thought onpeople searching for mort- gages at this particular- time, the interest rates are(and were) at an all-time low. With talk of them going up,people are also exploring thepossibility of refinancing atthe lower rate and even do- ing blend and extend to take advantage of the rates beforethey go up. I heard from peo-ple that when GM was an-nouncing the closing of the Oshawa plant, lenders werenot approving people whoworked there on the pre-sumption that they would be out of work even though itwas 12 to 18 months into thefuture. So people might be looking at the "What if I getlet go and don't qualify any-more?" scenario and tryingto see if it's beneficial to refi- nance."

Beloved son of Marie and Greg, much loved brother of Eddie (Tracey). Dear nephew of Steve (Bonnie), Ben, Diane (Trevor), Rick (Donna), Julie (Lee) and Donna. Jamie will be sadly missed by his daughter Danika and many, many cousins. Jamie will be missed by his friends and business associates, and especially his dearest friends Andrea and her daughter Maddy. From a young age Jamie loved to take things apart and put them back together. He had a desire to figure out how things worked. He was a self-taught computer super tech who could solve almost any problem and was always willing to help friends and family. Jamie's love of all things fast, loud and flashy made him close friends with many people. He enjoyed putting on fireworks displays and seeing the smiling faces. He loved making people happy. Jamie's easygoing nature and great attitude will be missed by us all. Arrangements are being handled by W.C. Town Funeral Chapel. A celebration of Jamie's life will be held at a later date when circumstances permit.

A loving person, so gentle and kind; what a wonderful memory you left behind. Long days, long nights, you bore your pain. To wait for a cure, but all in vain. Till God Himself knew what was best. He took you home and gave you rest. Heavy are our hearts today, memory brings you back once more, to the time when you were with us, to the happy days of yore. Honour life’s milestones with a published announcement. Create a keepsake your baby will treasure one day – publish your birth announcement.
