PICKERING -- Pickering's Deputy Mayor Kevin Ashe said there have been "at least 40" deaths at Orchard Village retire- ment home. He noted the deaths impact a lot of people, including relatives, in Pickering. "Pickering is leading in the number of lost souls. It's very, very troubling and very sorrow- ful," he said. He's also supportive of Canadi- an Armed Forces (CAF) person- nel being brought in to help at the home. Personnel were assigned there on Friday, April 24 after Premier Doug Ford asked the fed- eral government to have CAF join the pandemic fight. "I've been calling for addition- al resources for about a week now," he said, adding all three lev- els of government have been in- volved in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. "We have all heeded the call for more resources for the residents at Orchard Villa," Ashe noted. He doesn't know how long the CAF personnel will be at the site. Earlier this week, Long-Term Care Minister Merrillee Fuller- ton said the personnel will be moved around to where they are needed. Ashe said, "I don't know how long they'll be on the site, but again, I welcome the response." Dr. Robert Kyle, the medical officer of health for Durham Re- gion, said, "This home in partic- ular was struggling.

On behalf of everyone in the province, the Ontario government would like to thank the heroes who go to work each day to keep our essential services and businesses available during the COVID-19 outbreak. From the doctors, nurses, paramedics, personal support workers and pharmacists who are caring and providing for our sick; to the police and firefighters who are keeping us safe; to the farmers, food processors, truck drivers and grocery store staff who are keeping food on our tables —thank you! To those who are keeping our lights on, keeping our water safe, keeping our hospitals, stores and facilities clean, and to those keeping our buses and trains operating —thank you! You make us proud. Our essential workers show the Ontario spirit with their courage, compassion, and generosity. You step up every day to ensure individuals, families and seniors have what they need to stay safe and healthy. And to everyone else who is staying home and practicing physical distancing —thank you! You are truly making a difference in our fight against COVID-19. We know being isolated from family, friends and neighbours is not easy, but it is absolutely necessary to save lives and beat this terrible virus. We encourage people to stay connected by phone, email or through virtual get-togethers. Staying connected and supporting each other is critically important. We also want to remind people to only go out if absolutely necessary to pick up groceries, a prescription or to go to a medical appointment. Together, we will beat COVID-19, but it will take your determination and cooperation. Physical distancing and hand washing are working, but we must keep going. The price we pay for not staying at home and following the advice of the medical experts is a matter of life and death. Your Ontario government thanks everyone for doing the right thing. Stay home. Stay strong. Save lives. 3 | Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , A p r i l 3 0 , 2 0 2 0 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m Register for Kindergarten We are accepting online Kindergarten registrations for the 2020-2021 school year.

REGULARLy $7.95 EACH Family Owned And Operated Since 1953 2 FOR $10 DURHAM — Community gardens in Durham will be allowed to open this spring after the province reversed an earlier deci- sion. On Friday, the government announced community gardens will be permitted to op- erate, noting they are "an essential source of fresh food for some individuals and fami- lies, including those who face food insecuri- ty." Community gardens were initially in- cluded on the list of outdoor recreation ame- nities closed by the province — but pressure from food sustainability and community garden advocates resulted in the change. "Community gardens are essential to food security in the lives of many people in the region," says Mary Drummod, presi- dent of Durham Integrated Growers, which provides mentorship, education and advo- cacy for community gardens. "We need these spaces to be productive this year of all years." Ajax Mayor Shaun Collier praised the decision in a statement on Saturday, saying he and members of Ajax council had pushed for the change alongside MPP Rod Phillips and St. Andrew's Community Garden in Ajax. The Community Growing Network of Sustain Ontario has proposed safety regu- lations for community gardens, including closing gardens to the public and only al- lowing access for registered members and using schedules to limit how many people are in a garden at one time. The province said local medical officers of health will provide "advice, recommen- dation and instructions" on rules for com- munity gardens. Durham has about 30 community gar- dens on public and private land ranging in size from five acres to some that are just a few plots.

Ralph Walton Regional Clerk / Director of Legislative Services struggle were staff short- ages." He noted the Central East Local Health Integra- tion Network had been working on addressing the staff shortage for about a week. Kyle hasn't been in- volved with the placement of the CAF personnel, but said if they "have the skill sets, I think it would be welcomed." The home is one of five in Ontario where forces personnel have been sent to help existing staff at the Pickering facility, accord- ing to Premier Doug Ford's office. "As conditions at long- term care homes across the province continue to be monitored and tracked dai- ly, CAF support may be re- deployed to other sites, as required," the premier's of- fice noted in a press re- lease. "Our top priority is ensuring the staff at these long-term care homes can focus on providing care and have the resources they need to combat the spread of this virus." Earlier this week it was announced that there had been at least 31 deaths due to COVID-19 at the facility in the past week. Lakeridge Health has also sent a team to the site to help care for the resi- dents and to assist staff. Lakeridge took a leader- ship role after Kyle issued an order under the Ontario Health Protection and Pro- motion Act. The response is being led by Leslie Motz, vice president patient services, and chief nursing execu- tive. Motz and a team from Lakeridge is working alongside management and staff from Southbridge Care, the operators of the facility, to respond to the outbreak to support resi- dents and the staff team. Clinical, infection pre- vention and control, and medical teams from Lake- ridge Health are assessing the situation and starting action plans to limit fur- ther infection transmis- sion and enhance resident and staff safety. Physicians were sent to support the care for a number of resi- dents, along with regis- tered nurses, registered practical nurses, personal support workers, and di- etary professionals. Patient experience offi- cers have begun reaching out to family members to share information and up- dated families. Susan deRyk, Interim President and CEO of La- keridge, said in a state- ment, "Lakeridge Health's teams are now onsite to support Orchard Villa resi- dents and staff. The entire team is focused on provid- ing the best possible care. Lakeridge Health takes this responsibility serious- ly and will continue to act in the best interest of Or- chard Villa's residents, and the community as a whole as we continue the fight against this virus." Ryan Bell, CEO South- bridge Care, added, "Our primary focus at Orchard Villa is to ensure we can provide the care our resi- dents need as we work through the unprecedent- ed challenge of COVID-19. Orchard Villa has been ac- tively working with our lo- cal health care partners and asking for assistance in combating the outbreak in our home. The Ontario government has informed us that they will be sending additional supports to our operations. We welcome their help." Armed forces personnel have also been sent to long- term care homes in Scar- borough, Etobicoke, North York and Brampton.

OPINION TO LEARN HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN CONTENT VISIT DURHAMREGION.COM The reminders were more welcome than ever this strange, stay-at-home coronavirus spring. Every year about this time expectant readers write in with one burning question — when should we put out our humming- bird feeder? Catching their excite- ment, I tell them what I know, then together we hold our breath, eagerly watching for that glorious event: the arrival of the first ruby-throats migrat- ing home from Mexico. So thank you, Ron Cun- ningham of Ajax and Gail Snowden of Blackstock, for starting off this year's wait- ing game! It usually happens the first week in May. There comes a day when the tem- perature shoots up into double digits and the air grows pregnant with prom- ise. Buds seem to be burst- ing before your eyes, and in the very next magical mo- ment a male hummer ap- pears at the front porch, hovering right where the feeder was last summer and silently asking, "Where's lunch?" At that point I go racing to the kitchen to stir up a batch of nectar. The tried- and-true recipe, the only one you'll ever need: one part white sugar to four parts water, heated to the boiling point to sterilize, then cooled. Some years, with the right weather forecast, I have it made the night be- fore, ready to funnel into my scrubbed and sparkling feeders as soon as a ruby- throat arrives. Storing ex- tra syrup in a clean glass jar in the fridge will keep it fresh for refills, but every week at least you should start anew, washing every- thing to keep your tiny cus- tomers healthy and safe. And please avoid that no-no, red dye! Dense cones in a hum- mingbird's retinas favour the red-to-yellow colour spectrum, true, but red plas- tic parts of the feeder are enough to attract them. They have the biggest brain- to-body-mass ratio of any birds, not to mention the biggest heart, and will easi- ly find clear nectar, without adding chemicals with no nutritional value, and questionable health effects. Ron Cunningham asked for tips on how to keep his neighbourhood hummers coming, so I urged him to plant their favourite flow- ers in his garden. When our zinnias, bee balm, col- umbine, lupins, butterfly bush, hummingbird sage or jewelweed are in bloom the ruby-throats swarm to them, completely ignoring the feeder. This summer more than ever our feisty, flashy hum- mingbird friends will be doing us a favour, bringing glittering colour and bright joy to countless housebound humans. We must be gracious, ever grateful hosts, and treat them well. While you're waiting for them to show up, check out a video Otto Peter of Osha- wa sent me: youtube.com/ watch?v=FPRswRWZ23Q Nature queries: mcar- ney@interlinks.net or 905- 725-2116. Durham nature writer Margaret Carney has more than 4,000 species on her life list of birds, many seen in far-flung corners of our beautiful planet. RUBY-THROATS A HARBINGER OF WARMER TEMPERATURES NATURE WRITER MARGARET CARNEY SAYS HUMMINGBIRDS ARE A HARBINGER OF WARMER TEMPS MARGARET CARNEY Column LETTERS & COMMENTARY MUSLIM COMMUNITY SENDS 'DEEPEST CONDOLENCES' TO THOSE AFFECTED BY TRAGEDY IN MARITIMES To the editor: In a time when certainty and routines were already disrupted by the pandemic, this atrocity is a hard blow to add. The loss of so many lives weighs heavily on all of us. This tragedy is hard to comprehend and under- stand. The victims included an elementary school teach- er, at least three married couples and an RCMP offi- cer, a mother of two chil- dren, who died protecting others. Our hearts are with Nova Scotia.We stand with the families, friends and loved ones of all those affect- ed by this catastrophe. As people of Muslim faith, we express our deep- est condolences and pray to Almighty God that they will rest in eternal peace. May God bestow a bless- ing on the families affected by this heinous and cow- ardly act. JAVED AKBAR, PICKERING ISLAMIC CENTRE GOVERNMENT SHOULD ORDER USE OF OSHAWA GM PLANT TO MAKE PPE To the editor: There is a stunning con- tradiction in our communi- ty: a massive manufactur- ing facility is sitting idle while there are regional and national shortages of essential and life-saving protective equipment. General Motors has al- ready shown, under pres- sure from the U.S govern- ment, that it is possible to act effectively and quickly to convert assembly and supplier plants to social priorities. We desperately need the same pressure here. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or Premier Doug Ford should immediately order the production of es- sential medical equip- ment and supplies at the Oshawa GM complex and related parts supplier fa- cilities. This can be the first step toward establishing a pub- licly owned manufacturing centre that could supply strategically necessary goods in times of crisis. It's not enough to ask companies to volunteer conversion and manufac- turing. This is a worldwide crisis requiring immedi- ate, strong and bold leader- ship. The plant was retooled during the Second World War to build military parts very quickly, and we can retool the plant quickly to fight this pandemic. Oshawa provided sol- diers with materials dur- ing the Second World War, let's supply our front-line workers with the tools they need to do their jobs, save lives and fight this pan- demic. The COVID-19 pandem- ic is revealing the dangers of not having the domestic capacity to make the criti- cal things we need. The climate crisis will magnify this manifold. How we respond to the present moment will heavi- ly influence how we posi- tion ourselves for the struggles to come after the pandemic ends.

If you’re looking for the perfect one, these five tips will help you make your pick. 1. Decide how you’ll use it. Will your armchair merely fill an empty corner in your home? If so, one without arms may be fine. However, if you’re plan- ning on sitting in it often, you may want to prioritize comfort, for instance with a deeper, wid- er seat. 2. Select a style. Do you prefer a traditional esthetic, or is your taste more cutting edge? Do you want the chair to blend in with the rest of the room, or are you looking for a piece that’ll make a statement? When thinking about style, re- member to consider the cur- rent design elements in the room. 3. Determine the right size. Take into account the size of the room and the height and width of the other furniture. Make sure people can easily walk around the chair without feeling cramped. 4. Choose the fabric. Leath- er and velvet are traditional and luxurious, but people with young children or pets may prefer microfibre or cotton slip covers that can be removed for easy cleaning. 5. Pick a colour. Will you opt for a colour that complements or contrasts the rest of the room? Alternatively, choose a patterned armchair that will make a statement. Once you’ve chosen the perfect armchair, place it in your home. Accompany the piece with a lamp, a side table and an ottoman or coffee table where you can put your feet up. — Newspaper Toolbox 5 tips to help you choose the perfect armchair 15 | Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r | Th u r s d a y , A p r i l 3 0 , 2 0 2 0 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m 3790 Brock Street North,Whitby Wanttochat?

ItTakes aVillage to Care DURHAM — Durham Region is receiving more than $1.8 million from the federal government to help with homelessness during the pandemic. The $1,863,170 is coming from the Reaching Home Program, a $157.5-million effort to support homeless people during the CO- VID-19 crisis. Pickering-Uxbridge MP Jennifer O'Connell said the funding will allow the re- gion to put in place preven- tion and preparation activ- ities around homelessness. She noted in a statement how the money is used will be decided by the region. Possible uses for the funding could be securing additional accommodation to reduce overcrowding in shelters, buy supplies and materials to reduce the risk of transmission or in- crease the frequency of cleaning with disinfectants in high traffic areas, O'Connell added. Communities can also spend money to quaran- tine individuals infected with COVID-19 or buy beds and physical barriers to place between beds in new- ly purposed facilities. "The Government of Canada has announced a number of important mea- sures and programs to sup- port Canadian workers and businesses through the outbreak of COVID-19. As part of this response, I'm grateful to announce an investment of over $1.8 mil- lion to the Region of Dur- ham, through the Reaching Home program to support the most vulnerable in our community," she said. "Homelessness is a per- sistent scourge during our regular lives. These un- precedented times call on us to respond aggressively to help Canadians seeking shelter and assistance. It's our duty and responsibility to support them, and I'm grateful that this funding will provide comfort and help to those who need it the most," O'Connell add- ed.

House of Commons photo SHARING HEART ART Liam, Kellan and Fintan Sharpe from Pickering encouraged people to create Heart Art as a way to show their gratitude and support to all of the people in our communities here in Canada and around the world, working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes everybody from healthcare workers to individuals in the grocery stores. The boys asked people to send heart art to their Instagram page, @hearts4helpers, where they are collecting the art tributes and have already received art from as far away as Australia and South Africa. They suggest you put your Heart Art up in a window.

Bingo games and pub nights. Outings in the com- munity and family visits. Baking, art and music pro- grams. Now, the Oshawa long- term care home has a dif- ferent kind of bustle. As of April 17, an out- break of COVID-19 has seen 38 residents at the home confirmed to have the virus and 11 residents die. Containing the out- break and keeping families in the loop on how their loved ones are doing is the new priority. But that doesn't mean that fun and recreation are on pause. "Therapeutic recre- ation is more important than ever," says Tanis Head, co-ordinator of rec- reation and therapy at the home. The challenge is finding creative ways to keep resi- dents happy and engaged, while maintaining safety. Normally, residents would attend group pro- grams in the home, which happen on a regular sched- ule. "A lot of them have a set routine of programs they like and they follow our calendar. You can definite- ly tell they're missing that routine," says Andrea An- drus, recreation program- mer at Hillsdale Terraces. Programming is now being provided one-on-one in resident rooms. Hills- dale is recruiting 16 tempo- rary care aids to help with this task. Andrus says examples might now include crafts or virtual outings online. Residents who are miss- ing getting their hair done are being pampered by staff who have hair styling skills and those missing church services in the community are being con- nected with online options. One difficulty is the fact that all staff in the home now have to wear a mask, which can make it difficult to communicate and con- nect with residents — es- pecially those with cogni- tive impairment. To lighten the mood, staff are printing out smil- ing lips to stick on the masks. "So they know we're smiling under there," An- drus says. Kimberlee Neault, a gerontologist and Durham College professor, says it's important to maintain rec- reation and interaction for seniors during the pan- demic — those in long- term care and retirement homes and those living in the community. "There have been so many studies done on the benefits of social interac- tion for older adults," she says. "It can help with bet- ter cognitive function, bet- ter overall health and it can reduce the risk of de- pression." While that can be chal- lenging during an out- break at a home, Neault says even small actions can have an impact. For example, she says homes could consider add- ing a riddle or trivia to meal trays being delivered to resident rooms. Staff at Hillsdale Ter- races are working on out- side the box solutions to get more programming to residents as the pandemic wears on. Head says a revamped pub night could see drinks and snacks brought to resi- dent rooms on a cart, and "hallway bingo" is a possi- bility once there are no new cases of COVID-19 in the home.

Jim, son of Charles and Jane Burke, was born March 13, 1963, in St Catharines, Ontario. His passion for music (reflected in his well-curated collection of vinyl), baseball (reflected in his 40,000+ baseball card collection), WW II history and fishing are surpassed only by his love for his children: Richard (and Elyse), Joshua (and Tatiana), and Alexandra. He is survived by his siblings—Cathy Mondloch (Michael), Adam (Gayle), and Patrick (Alice), 14 nieces and nephews, Lynn Burke (mother of his children) and a large extended family. Jim attended Prince Philip Public School where he formed a circle of friends who shared adventures and remained close throughout his entire adult life. After graduating from Governor Simcoe Secondary School, Jim earned his B.A. (Economics) at McMaster University and MBA at Dalhousie University. He went on to a successful career in finance while raising his family in Ajax, ON. Jim inspired many young boys as an OBA baseball coach, leading his team to 3 OBA championships. In 1988 he initiated Shaggyball, a fantasy baseball league that is only waiting for the MLB season to start to launch its 33rd season; always an optimist, Jim commissioned this year's draft from his bed in the midst of Covid-19. In 2009, Jim attended the Milwaukee Brewer's fantasy baseball camp with his Dad, where he got a double off his Dad's best pitch. Jim returned to St. Catharines in 2018 and thoroughly enjoyed his new career delivering mail for Canada Post. Jim and his family are tremendously grateful for the support received from health care providers, both at the Walker Family Cancer Centre and in the community. That support, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, allowed Jim to spend his final weeks at home under the care and support of family and friends. A small, private ceremony will be held in the immediate future; a larger celebration befitting of Jimmy B will be held when that is possible. Jim had a great love and respect for the United Way. We ask that those who wish to honour Jim's memory do so by donating to the United Way Niagara. We suggest the Education Opportunity Fund—a fund established to honour his Dad's 70th birthday that provides post-secondary scholarships to promising young people in the United Way's After School Program, or the Covid-19 Emergency Fund.

An early life of hard physical work and eager study led him on to many achievements: he became an RCAF officer and senior radar technician in WWII, an engineer (graduate of U of T), a do-it-yourself handyman and house builder, a math teacher at Dunbarton High School, a member of the Society of Friends (Quakers), a director at Camp NeeKauNis, an avid gardener, reader, wine- maker, and player of cards, and the author of his memoirs "One Plus One Makes Seven". Predeceased in 1996 by his beloved wife of 47 years Roberta "Bobi" Ann Jean Adamson (nee Callum). Lovingly remembered by those he leaves behind: a sister, Dorothy Barnett, a cousin, William Toyne, five daughters, Claire (Ted), Lyn, Lee, Kim (Peter), and Dale (Bruce), ten grandchildren, Nara, Thea (Brett), Nicole (Ryan), Jon (Crissy), Ellen (Graeme), Jaclyn, Graham (Cynthia), Malcolm, Jeremy (Rachel), and Leslie, and five great-grandsons, Oliver, Maxwell, Nolan, Felix and Jack. In accord with Jim's generosity, role as teacher, and desire to never waste anything, he donated his body to U of T. Every endeavour in his 101 years he shouldered with characteristic cheer- fulness, thoughtfulness, and dedication, providing an inspiring example of a life well- lived. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to UNICEF or a charity of your choice. I will follow the upward road today, I will keep my face to the light; I will think high thoughts as I go my way; I will do what I know is right. I will look for the flowers by the side of the road; I will laugh and love and be strong. I will try to lighten another's load This day as I fare along. By Mary S.
