PUBLISHER’S NOTE COMMUNITY EDITION Etobicoke-Lakeshore will be contributing a feature entitled Heroes of Etobicoke-Lakeshore highlighting the acts of kindness from locals across the riding (see page 14). On that note (musical pun intended), a local South Etobicoke band based in Mimico is donating a portion of the proceeds from every T-shirt sold to local businesses in need. The band is called So Dirty The Flamingos and they’re selling some sweet lookin’ T’s. I wrote a review of their song, Before The Misfits (see page 12).

etobicokelakeshorepress@gmail.com www.EtobicokeLakeshorePress.com @etobicokelakeshorepress Welcome to the Community Edition! I chose this theme about a year ago as I planned for my 2019/20 publications. Given the current circumstances, there’s no better time to be writing about our Community than now.
We have another new contributor this month. This time it’s Dr. Shoghi Nikoo, a family physician from Mimico Medical. He’s written a very fascinating piece about social responsibility during a pandemic, which is timely given the recent mass gathering at Trinity Bellwoods Park (see page 24). That brings us to this month’s cover feature. I had the opportunity to catch up with our favourite Ward 3 Toronto City Councillor Mark Grimes. We talked about the pandemic and how it’s impacting our community, how people are coming together during quarantine, and what we can do to help our local business community. In short, the Councillor reminds us to “Keep it local”. Read our cover story on page 16. Looking hopefully towards the near future, I’d like to wish you all a wonderful start to your summer,
As the people of South Etobicoke come together to rally against COVID-19, we’re seeing so many stories of folks stepping up to help others in need. As such, it gives me great pleasure to include a new Editorial Contributor. James Maloney, MP for

SUBMISSION WFH WITH CHILDREN You Can’t Make This Stuff Up! I was on a networking call, noticed water running down the driveway, but didn’t think much about it at the time (no screaming or crying). When I went down to the kitchen, I was greeted with the image to the right. “Hey kids, uh, what’s this stuffy doing in a bowl on the counter?” Jack (11): “Oh, Macy (6) accidentally dropped her stuffy in the toilet. But don’t worry, we took it out and washed it with the hose and it’s drying now.” Great problem solving and teamwork!!! But need to work on understanding washing and sanitizing. And by the way, the stuffy’s name is Rain Poop! Submitted by: Judy Kudla, Long Branch Resident

ARTS & CULTURE CREATIVE COMMUNITY Festival season is upon us and despite the ongoing state of the world, the creative community is pulling through to deliver online festival content that pushes boundaries, encourages participation, and ensures YOU can stay connected and engaged with the arts. If you haven’t heard about the Social Distancing Festival as yet (www.socialdistancingfestival.com), I encourage you to check it out! The beauty about this site: it’s an artistic platform that features performance and visual arts from around the globe and it was started right here in Toronto by playwright Nick Green. There’s a livestream calendar, long distance art exhibit, and even a “Beer Tent”. With hundreds of submissions from around the world, there’s something for everyone. Closer to home, Lakeshore Arts in partnership with Kaeja d’Dance will present an adapted Porch View Dances for the Etobicoke-Lakeshore community. Three years’ worth of footage and stories from Long Branch, New Toronto, and Mimico will be streamed in a guided online “time travel” tour through the neighbourhoods, ending with a virtual participatory Flock Landing. It’s a wonderful opportunity to showcase our communities to a wider audience. Bookmark www.lakeshorearts.ca and join us on June 13th for your at-home festival fun!

MUSIC REVIEW: SO DIRTY THE FLAMINGOS I’m a huge Country Music fan. I listen exclusively to the genre, so when I heard the announcer on my favourite radio station introduce a band from “The Heart of South Etobicoke” and that their recording studio is based in Mimico, I instantly turned up the volume in my truck. The Band: So Dirty The Flamingos The Song: Before The Misfits The Album: Unamerican Girl
the first chord and doesn’t let go until long after it’s over. It’s the kind of song you want to keep listening to. The kind that should be played more often on the radio. I asked Lionel Doe what it’s like to have his song played on the radio right now, especially dropping during quarantine just prior to the Victoria Day long weekend.
Now, I’m by no means a music reviewer, but I will say that Before The Misfits has stuck with me since the first time I heard it. I was so impressed by the song and the fact that the band is from South Etobicoke, that I immediately Googled them and called up their lead singer, Lionel Doe, after hearing it for the first time. Admittedly, I left a rather long and embarrassing message about how I publish a local magazine and would love to feature the band in an upcoming edition...yada, yada, yada. Lionel called me back and here we are.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with hearing ourselves on the radio,” Doe explained, referring to bandmates Adam Drury (bassist), Devin Jannetta (drummer), Scott Dunn (Hammond organist), and Ciara Logar (background vocalist). “We were flooded with messages and positive responses from people out in cottage country, Owen Sound, Simcoe County, etc. I had the pleasure for the first time in my life of hearing our song on the radio while driving home from work,” Doe continued. “Later that evening I danced with my daughter to it when it played again. A once-in-a-lifetime moment, for sure.”
With lyrics like, “She loves those kids but she can’t decide...” and “She lights one up. She watches the sun rise...”, Before The Misfits is a smooth, somber-sounding song that takes a hold of you from
I asked Doe what impact he thinks music has on people right now as we’re all asked to stay home and distance ourselves from one another. I found his answer to be profound.

“I think people are genuinely connecting to music especially at this moment as well as other media,” he explained. “But music and literature have the capacity to stir the heart and feed the soul. It’s not just entertainment. And as people settle down with their immediate families for this quarantine, I hope they reconnect to those finer elements. I know my family unit - we’re reading more books, listening to music constantly. We were happy to put some music out there and extremely happy that it found a wider audience with Before the Misfits getting picked up on Country 105, Country 93 and the others. The “Fresh Picks” feature of all the stations under Bayshore Broadcasting is a huge support to local, independently made music. I thank them for those efforts.”
“We released a condensed, three-song EP now because we just couldn’t wait 3, 6 months, a year; who knows the actual timeline when the world will come back to normal,” Doe answered. “It has really found an audience.”
So, how do you go about releasing an album during a quarantine?
By: Roger Tumminieri
Maybe I’m a little bit biased because So Dirty The Flamingos is a local band from South Etobicoke and Lionel Doe was gracious enough to speak with me and answer my questions. Or, maybe Before The Misfits is just a really good song played by highly skilled musicians. You be the judge. www.sodirtytheflamingos.com

HEROES OF ETOBICOKE-LAKESHORE
Blake & Crissy
Toni Varone
Blake is a small business owner (Bread&Butter Designs - custom wood products) who was forced to layoff his employees about a month before COVID-19 hit. After not selling any wood products for about a month, Blake decided to donate his time to help people in his local community by delivering groceries like toilet paper to people who could not find it or leave their homes because they were elderly, living with a disability or quarantined. He then sourced a manufacturer of hand sanitizer and has re-sold it at cost to everyone in South Etobicoke as well as donated many bottles to those in need unable to pay. His wife, Crissy, who is 50% laid off at home, has begun sewing cloth masks and has donated household items to needy, low income residents whom she has met through Blake’s involvement & engagement in our community. With the increasing social distancing measures in place, Blake has now called back all his employees that were laid off and they are safely delivering the hand sanitizers and other PPE products at a reasonable margin all over the GTA. They truly are Heroes of Etobicoke- Lakeshore.
Gerel (right) and Daughter, Mikelle (left) Gerel, a front line worker in a long term care home, is someone who has always been there for others even before these difficult times started. She has remained positive, strong, and compassionate in spite of crazy work hours and new daily pressures. When contacted, Gerel said she wanted to nominate her daughter, Mikelle. She is nine years old and has been her mother’s strongest support during the outbreak. Mikelle has never once complained, even when Gerel has to wake her up at 5:30am and take her to emergency child care. Mikelle has also maintained a positive attitude throughout this process. Thank you both for your positivity and work during these times. You truly are Heroes of Etobicoke-Lakeshore.

Toni Varone is a landlord in Etobicoke-Lakeshore. Even before government assistance was available, Toni offered significant and total forgiveness of rent for his tenants. Doing this early on in the crisis provided small businesses with opportunities to adjust to social distancing and its impact. Thank you for stepping up and showing real intelligence, compassion and integrity during these times. You truly are a Hero of Etobicoke-Lakeshore.
Graham Rowlands Graham Rowlands has been nominated for the work he does in the community. This includes running the South Etobicoke Community Group. This group not only provides a platform for the community to stay in touch, but also keeps everyone up to date with local news and raises money for local charity groups. In addition to this, he has created a few other groups to help out during COVID, like the South Etobicoke Grocery Store Updates, South Etobicoke Local Business Love, South Etobicoke CARES, and South Etobicoke Book, TV & Movie Club to help support residents and local businesses. These groups keep the community close and provide a variety of information to help address different needs during this time. Graham is truly a Hero for all that he has done and is doing for South Etobicoke.

MOYA FINANCIAL WE’RE BACK IN BEESINESS
At Moya Financial they recognize that a sustainable environment is an important foundation for our community and for future generations. With this in mind they are expanding their bee farm and have found a new, more suitable home for the hives. Moya will continue to spread awareness of the importance of these little workers for the environment and of their connection to Slovenian heritage and culture.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
With spring finally knocking on our doors, honeybees are back to work. At the end of April, the hives were opened for the beekeeping season and thoroughly inspected. The colony was fed and treated to ensure they are going into their busy season with all the resources they need. With everything going on in the world these days, usual in-person workshops will move to the digital sphere. Beekeeping partners at AlvĂŠole have created some fantastic virtual workshops that will be shared with the community at a later date. Keep an eye on their social media channels for further updates. Next up, the beekeepers will be splitting the colony as a swarm prevention technique to give space to the colony for growth as we head into the summer months. www.moyafinancial.ca

COVER STORY KEEP IT LOCAL When speaking with Councillor Mark Grimes in the pre-pandemic era, I was always impressed by his passion for South Etobicoke communities. Now that we’ve shifted into a new era, his passion seems stronger and more resolute. He’s looking out for his people, his tribe. “South Etobicoke is still a small town,” explains Grimes. “People here are looking out for each other. Some have taken it upon themselves to pick up garbage in the streets, others are helping to deliver groceries to seniors for free.” In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, Grimes’ office has become a virtual command centre - on call 24/7. “We saw this coming,” he says. “We were ready.” The Councillor’s office staff are all-hands-on-deck as they navigate these uncharted waters. Working remotely, they are able to react to constituents’ concerns rapidly while maintaining continuity. Being responsible for three of Toronto’s larger waterfront parks, namely the Humber Bay Shores Parks, Colonel Samuel Smith Park in New Toronto, and Long Branch’s Marie Curtis Park, Grimes was instrumental in the decision to shut them down to protect against the spread of COVID-19. When I hosted the Councillor on the Etobicoke Lakeshore Podcast in early April, one of the things he had talked about was the importance of physical distancing to flatten the curve so we can enjoy our summer. Well, it’s looking like this may very well be the case. Thankfully, we’re seeing that curve flatten. As the city and province move cautiously toward re-opening, the Councillor’s attention is focussed on our small business community.
By: Roger Tumminieri
They include the creation of Bell Box Murals in conjunction with Lakeshore Arts throughout Long Branch, as well as the expansion of the bike share program in Mimico. On a personal level, Mr. Grimes is enjoying the additional time he is able to spend at home with his family. He’s a father of 5 children (4 or whom live at home) and a grandfather of 1 (soon to be 2) grandchildren. Councillor Grimes grew up in South Etobicoke and I’ve often said that there’s no better person to lead Ward 3 than him. Now that we’ve shifted into a new normal and amid the Coronavirus crisis, in my opinion, Etobicoke-Lakeshore could not ask for a better City Councillor. “I’m so proud to represent this area at this time,” states Councillor Grimes. “We will get through this. We’ll be stronger together. As Churchill said: If you’re going through hell, keep going.” In terms of the impact of the pandemic on South Etobicoke, Mr. Grimes had this to say: “Our community is getting tighter and the people of Etobicoke-Lakeshore have really stepped up.” We’ve seen a lot of good come out of this crisis. So many folks have gone out of their way to help others. We’re not out of the woods yet, but we’re getting there and, by all accounts, we’re doing it right - with safety as the top priority. To close with a message of hope from Councillor Grimes, who says quite eloquently: “There’s a light at the end of this tunnel and it’s getting brighter.”
“Small businesses are in trouble,” Grimes says sadly. “It’s imperative we support them. We have to keep it local.” As many neighbourhood shops re-invent themselves, it’s incumbent upon local residents to do their part to ensure they remain in business. Never before has it been so important to support small businesses. Personally, I’ve been very impressed by how this crisis has been handled by our leaders. “There’s no playbook,” explains Councillor Grimes. “I’ve been working closely will all levels of government - with MPP Christine Hogarth, MP James Maloney, John Tory and Doug Ford,” he continues. “The Mayor, Premier, and the Prime Minister are all doing a great job.”

HUMBER COLLEGE COMMUNITY UPDATE I hope you are all safe and well, both mentally and physically. As we move into the summer semester at Humber Lakeshore, the campus remains closed. Student instruction will be done online or remotely. While education is our focus, Humber Lakeshore is also committed to you, our community. Whether you’re thriving in social isolation or having difficulty adjusting, consider this your official invitation to join our Quaranteam! We want to encourage community and connection, even if we can’t be there for each other physically. I’ve put together a list of challenges from my perspective as Principal. The challenges span seven days. They are small things you can do to keep busy, connected, and well during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the challenges are small acts that can have a big impact: Reach Out: Find seven contacts in your phone that you normally don’t have time to connect with. Schedule a call with one different person each day for seven days Culture Shock: There is an endless array of museums to visit and concerts to watch. Fill up your social calendar with seven different events over the week. Take time to walk through the Louvre or attend a concert from one of your favourite artists’ living rooms Pen and Ink: Our lives are filled with emails. Take a step back and put pen to paper and write one letter a day for seven days. The mail is still running and if you don’t want to use that services, consider writing letters to people within walking distance so you can leave it on their doorstep You can find the full list of challenges and associated resources at humber.ca/lakeshorecampus

GARDEN AT BARSA KELLY CARI CAN COOPERATIVE DURING THE GROWING SEASON We have included information about where to find some great Humber content, like fitness videos, sustainability tips, and musical performances … and all of them free. Many of our initiatives have moved online, like the Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre’s annual Summer Workshop Series and exhibits like the #WeAreIndigenous project, but the 2020 GARDENS Pod Project will go on!
Humber has allocated $1.15 million to students in need of emergency funds with help from the IGNITE student government and the province. IGNITE is led by Humber and Guelph-Humber students and supports clubs, events, and student services.
Community gardens are an essential source of fresh, nutritious food, especially now that many businesses are closed. Access to grocery stores and food banks can also be a challenge for people in our community. The Office of the Principal is collaborating with LAMP Community Health Centre and the GARDEN Advisory Council to search for ways to continue the popular and successful project during this challenging time. The pods – or sites – are dispersed throughout South Etobicoke. Various partners are designated pods and will be growing produce that will be donated to the community once harvested. The project has received funding through Humber’s Community Partnership Fund. In the past three years, the GARDENS Pod Project has yielded 1,000 pounds of fresh produce, donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, LAMP Good Food Market, and to individuals in need. I want to acknowledge another group hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis – our Humber College students. The college has received more than 5,000 applications from students in need of emergency financial support over the past six weeks. We rarely see that many applications in an entire year.
IGNITE EXECUTIVE 2019-2020 We have created the COVID-19 Support Our Students (SOS) Fund to help meet an enormous need. It launched in April with a donation of $250 thousand from IGNITE – the second time the organization has made a substantial donation to the college’s COVID-19 financial aid initiatives. The SOS Fund allows the community to support Humber College students, their health, and their learning. Thank you for your continued support of the Humber Lakeshore Campus and Humber College as a whole. We miss you and can’t wait to connect in person. DEREK STOCKLEY

WELLNESS POST-QUARANTINE LIFE What’s your vision for your life post-quarantine? It’s okay if you’ve just been trying to survive these past few months and haven’t given a lot of thought to what things will look like on the “other side”. It’s something I’ve been thinking and talking to people more about. And a large amount of people have agreed that they don’t want their life to go back to exactly what it was pre-quarantine. I am a BIG advocate of balance and self-care and giving your body and mind whatever it needs (for most people that usually involves more rest). Creating time for yourself is as important a recommendation I make to my patients as all the supplements and dietary changes. I strive for balance in my own life and highly prioritize self-care. The irony is, though, this quarantine has made me realize just how out of balance things have been.

Like many, the forced slow down has been filled with ups and downs and lots of anxiety and uncertainty. But it’s also been filled with home cooked meals, walks by the water, more phone calls with loved ones, quality sleep and time for myself.While I am a high achiever and almost always am in an action-state, I realize that I want more slowness. I want to strive for big huge goals, but also not let those goals prevent me from living in and enjoying the present moment. I want to configure my life so that I look forward to it every single day and don’t have the strain of constantly rushing. What’s the life you want to create on the “other side”?
LAKESHORE ETOBICOKE GARDEN SOCIETY One of the best moves I’ve ever made, especially during these unexpected COVID days was joining LEGS - Lakeshore Etobicoke Garden Society. As we were uncertain and isolated, spring was on and so was the need to care for the Volunteer Garden. LEGS grows food for the Daily Bread Food Bank here in Etobicoke. We also distribute food to other not-for-profits in the area as the harvest provides. Food security had us make new beds to grow more for this year. We received trees from Treemobile, donated plants from Richters, and had many satisfying, physically distanced work days to get the garden ready. Gardenslakeshore.ca will come by with their volunteers and plants soon to contribute to the growing need to care for our communities. All year long, LEGS provides workshops & work days. Currently, seed and plant exchange tables are located at; Twenty Third St. & Lake Promenade, Park Blvd & Thirty Fourth St., Mimico Baptist Church, Primrose & Lake Shore, and the Healing Muse Apothecary on Lakeshore. Stay tuned for details on our June 21st event and get your kids involved in the ‘Bugs in the Garden’ Campaign. There may be ladybugs in your future!

COVID-19 SUMMER. ENJOY RESPONSIBLY. The beginning of the pandemic was scary for healthcare workers. Nobody knew how bad it was going to be – hospitals braced for a massive influx of sick people, I myself trained in the emergency department so the emergency physicians could tend to the more gravely ill, and most clinics all but stopped seeing routine cases in person. Both the economy and routine care took a hit, and it’s still not clear how long it will take to recover. Now, ten weeks after the pandemic hit Ontario, the general sense of anxiety seems to have lifted for many. Last month, people passing each other on the street traded suspicious glances, not sure if they could trust sharing the sidewalk. Today, many have traded glances of suspicion for the smiles and waves we shared before the pandemic. Park amenities and many shops are reopening. Emergency departments are comparatively empty, ICUs maintain capacity, and routine surgeries are set to resume. This does not mean the danger has passed. Until a safe, effective vaccine is developed and distributed to the majority of the population, we cannot return to pre-COVID normal. Societies around the world are therefore trying to find a balance between limiting spread of the disease and maintaining our mental and economic health. The day before I wrote this, a summery Saturday in late-May, thousands of people congregated at Trinity Bellwoods Park. Thousands of people, tightly packed, who were probably unable to distance themselves even if they wanted to, enjoyed the sunshine. Pundits and public health experts called it “irresponsible” and “selfish,” and they’re not wrong. That behaviour, though, isn’t impossible to understand. With restaurants, the Toronto Islands, and most of the other things we used to do for recreation still closed, there are few places for people to go on summery days. When the worst-case scenario of overflowing hospitals and thousands of deaths fails to materialize, and a relative minority of the public actually sees the struggles and casualties long term care facilities continue to face, it’s easy to understand why another group at the park yesterday laughed at the tape measure my friends and I used to maintain two meter’s distance from one another. People are tired of being locked in their homes, and with few other ways to enjoy the beautiful weather, it’s no surprise the city parks are busier than I’ve ever seen them. Still, a balance must be found. Social creatures cannot distance forever, and we’ve seen that ten weeks of strict isolation is too long. Based on just a few days of reassuring statistics, city administrators, though unknowingly, allowed Toronto’s parks to become a free-for-all. We will see whether this causes a spike in cases in a week or so. We should not wait for a spike to start considering how better

DR. SHOGHI NIKOO
Family Physician, Mimico Medical www.mimicomedical.com to balance a return to our economic and recreational activities while protecting older and medically frail people from SARS-CoV-19. Strong and thoughtful leadership from our municipal and provincial governments will be key to maintaining safety as society continues to function. While I’m no policy maker, some basic measures might include enforcing existing bylaws on physical distance between members of different households, limiting how many people can occupy public spaces at the same time, and opening other relatively low-risk recreational options. Recreation is essential to mental and physical health. Creative solutions will help keep vulnerable people safe. And yes, we all still have a responsibility to continue doing our part. Recommendations like maintaining physical distance, limiting time spent in grocery and other stores, wearing a mask when two meter’s distance can’t be guaranteed, frequent hand washing, and limiting visits with older or medically frail friends and family will be important for the foreseeable future. We must find and honour safe ways to use public spaces and amenities. I love summers in Toronto, and I look forward to enjoying this one responsibly. Dr. Shoghi has experience working in sexual and gender health, including family planning, HIV medicine, and trans care.

THE GOLF GALLERY PHYSICAL DISTANCING If you golf like I do, physical distancing shouldn’t be a problem. Most of my golfing experiences have rendered me alone for long stretches of time, walking through deep brush and woods while carrying what I hope to be the right club for the job. Inevitably, the ole foot wedge usually does the trick. I can hear the rest of my foursome cracking jokes at my expense from a distance. This all seemed kind of disheartening at the time, but nowadays, I’d consider it a healthier option; to be a lousy golfer, that is. If, however, you can hold your own on the golf course, do remember to play it safe. Be sure to visit our good friend Parrish at The Golf Gallery on Bloor Street in The Kingsway for some early season tips, tune-ups, new gear, or a great Father’s Day gift. He’s recently reopened his shop and is enjoying being busy again...very busy! -RT

SUBMISSION DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY. During our state-of-emergency stints of stay-at-home self-isolation, having a go-to place where you can take a deep breath of freshly baked goods and coffee to get a break is good for the soul. A break from the arduous cycles of working from home. A break from video conference calls. A break from homeschooling. A soul-healing break. There are a few bakery & coffee places open in your neighbourhood – if you can find them. The “essential” small businesses that can be open operate a take-out only menu, with a limited number of customers in the store at one time. Other corporate stores have temporarily closed their doors for the duration, not having the independent flexibility of a privately owned, one-location experience. Once and a while, in the time before COVID, I would find myself stopping in at The Happy Bakers for a sweet treat or coffee. When school was in, my daughter would pay a visit on Fridays for lunch – a regular, for sure. My morning “walks” always seem to lead to The Happy Bakers on Lake Shore and 30th Street in Long Branch. I’ve become a regular. A visit there is still like
visiting your neighbour for a catch-up. Linda, Rick, Michelle and Barb are always open for a chat while they work on getting you hooked-up with a coffee, sweet treat, or take-out. The second I tell my wife and daughter that I am going for a walk, they know that the “walk” means a trip to The Happy Bakers. Yeah, I’m that predictable. The Happy Bakers have just what you need to escape, even if it’s for a quick trip from the pandemonium of the pandemic. You’ll find a buzz of baking activity in the back of the shop and fine-baked serenity at the front. The Happy Bakers were formed in 2018 by four partners with backgrounds as diverse as the sweet and savoury offerings found inside. Linda, Rick, Michelle and Barb are always conjuring some baked magic in the back of the store. Do yourself a BIG favour and take a soul-healing break.

HISTORY A QUINTESSENTIAL COMMUNITY During my double isolation (ER visit), I serendipitously recovered a 2018 archived taped interview with a Long Branch lifetime resident of 96 years plus.
Methodist and Baptist and the Long Branch Public and Continuation School had been built. Transportation was readily available by tram-rail, motor car, and steamboat via the piers.
The first of Community audio, Lives Lived in Long Branch is an unabridged conversation between host Lori Penny (also a longtime Long Branch resident) and Mrs. Bernice Robinson; our first Lives Lived guest.
In 1918 hundreds of war veterans returned home but only to bring the pandemic pearls of the Spanish Flu with them. The schools and churches closed but opened up their basements to make meals and help the less fortunate. The toll for Ontario was well over 8000 lives.
While listening to the interview on loop, I found myself getting caught up in Bernice’s wholehearted anecdotes of history, humour, humility and hope all conveyed in a relaxed conversation over tea. Love the ‘outhouse story’. Without giving you spoiler alerts it prompted me to peel more onion skins and sleuth the community quintessentials, Long Branchian-style. I decided to bookmark Long Branch in 1917 as it was the time when it was blooming into a residential community. Surrounding the east and west quadrants of Long Branch Park and “The Hamilton Highway”, also the first concrete covered Ontario road (Lakeshore Blvd) to the North, Long Branch Village was the main Toronto Western gateway. Community self-sufficiency and amenities including electricity were being augmented with grocery, meat and fish markets, drug, clothing, shoe hardware and coal shoppes on the southern side of the highway. Churches including Anglican,
26
Long Branchians got through it all by helping each other in true community philanthropic campaigns. In the early 1920s with the Spanish Flu at bay and the Paris Treaty signed, North America was to experience an ongoing party of celebration, economical growth, and receive continental migration like never before. It was a time of ‘roaring forward.’ Today, I sense tremendous new energy, fresh entrepreneurialism and significant residential rebirth and investment. The Long Branch community will openly embrace the NEW 2020 reset and reboot modes.

FAMILY LIFE AT-HOME LEARNING As we all know by now, school has been cancelled until at least September. Although Jaxon is happy about it, Roger and I continue to struggle with his at-home learning. My husband thinks playing in the dirt should provide enough of an education for our 7-year-old. At times, I would have to agree. Roger finds unique ways of teaching Jax about physics, geology, even biology and chemistry. Perhaps a bit over the head of a second grader, though. I, on the other hand, have tried navigating the world of online learning and to be perfectly frank, have difficulty keeping my son’s attention for longer than 7 minutes. Is that a new rule of thumb; one minute of attention per year of age?

LIFE’S UNDERTAKINGS TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON
Local funeral director Brad Jones stands in front of the CC-177 Globemaster that brought home six Canadian soldiers killed off the coast of Greece last month. The word “repatriation” has been in the news a lot recently.
six fallen soldiers from CFB Trenton to Toronto in May, I felt a mixture of blessing and burden.
Canadians stranded for weeks on their nightmare cruise ships have been repatriated home safe and sound.
The funeral skillset to perform was there: I had a hearse, a driver’s license and a willingness to serve in a small but specialized way.
Today, every once in a while, we hear about how Ottawa is still working with international airlines about repatriating Canadians stuck overseas because of this charmless global pandemic.
But did I have the heart? Between the criminal catastrophe happening at long-term-care homes (and where I am going way, way too often these days) to the restrictions on funeral gatherings and family support, I wondered whether I had the capacity to bear witness to even more loss and tragedy.
And then there are our fallen soldiers this spring and, even more recently, our fallen Snowbird. Yes, social media has it right for once. Between COVID-19, murder hornets and cherry blossom bans, most of us are expecting Godzilla or locusts to roar across Lake Ontario and kick down the CN Tower. When I was asked to help bring home one of the

The Highway of Heroes is such a sad route. One shiny black hearse carrying a dead solider home is excruciating. Seeing a procession of six hearses bringing home six souls is overwhelming for the community of country, city and clan. Despite being a funeral director for over 25 years, I have never participated in a military repa-

triation ceremony. I look back on May 6th and the return of our Armed Forces members with tremendous sadness and frustration, too. Repatriation is the process of returning an asset, an item of symbolic value or a person considered valuable. This “asset” is returned to its owner or their place of origin or citizenship because it is cherished, highly prized and/or loved deeply. I realize I sound almost clinical in talking about the process of repatriation because I am still reeling from the impact of being there on the tarmac, watching those shattered young families and driving that long, traffic-free route home. There has never been a time I’ve felt so close to weeping at the funeral of someone I didn’t have the honour or privilege to know. All lives are precious. Yet even the most elderly and adored would agree that when the young are taken from us, there’s a dent in the universe that leaks out hope and faith in the future. Remember telephones with cords? Beepers and car phones? Three channels of shows instead of 3000? Then you probably remember how we all used to behave on our roads and highways when a hearse drove by. We’d pull over, come to a full stop and turn on our car’s high beams. We used to acknowledge the funeral procession by giving their passengers, alive and dead, space. We’d honour the family’s dark grief by shining a light onto the road they were being forced to travel. Words fail me when I reflect on what it feels like to be driving a hearse with a person in the back – a dead person – and be honked at, cut off, flipped the bird, separated from the deceased’s friends and family.
There is so little we can do for the grieving, especially now in a time of small mandatory services and black masks. No vigils or viewings. No visits. The root word of “hero” is servant or protector. The next time we see a funeral procession on the road, be a hero. Serve and protect what makes us human. On the road it only takes a moment – a few sacred seconds – to pull over, give space, stop and consider the universal truth that unites us all: we all love and grieve because life is as beautiful as it is impermanent. Turn your lights on. Those in the darkness of grief and lockdown need the repatriation of their dignity and strength. The rest of us are tasked with bringing home what lights us up as a species: love, peace, belonging and that our lives, and the lives of those we love, matter anddeserve the light of our honour and respect. Brad Jones is president of locally-owned, commission-free Ridley Funeral Home (3080 Lake Shore Blvd West) in Etobicoke. As the economy slowly reopens, Brad looks forward to seeing grieving families receive the hugs, kisses and at-home visits that help them heal. You’re welcome to chat with Brad by calling 416.259.3705 or emailing him at BradJones@RidleyFuneralHome.com
None of those things happened when we were a procession of six hearses on the Highway of Heroes and leaving CFB Trenton. We came together beautifully as a country, community and citizenry. We behaved as Canadians. We mourned as Canadians. We showed compassion and care. And yet as our six-hearse procession rolled into downtown Toronto, big-city drivers, although decimated in their number, were as busy, arrogant and immortal as ever. I rarely blush, but I knew I was red as I observed the incredulous reaction of my front-seat military companion to the horn blasts, aggressive lane changes and literal destruction of our funeral procession. Like you, I ask: why? Why behave in such a way?

YOUR HEALTH BETTER THAN THEY SEEM that life wasn’t able to get in the way this year. Many of us are spending a lot more time at home, and finding that prior commitments are no longer reasons why we cannot achieve some of the personal development goals we set out for ourselves; whether that is learning a new skill, finishing that television series you started last year, or getting to know ourselves better. For me, I started this year with the word “ACTION”. There have been ups and downs - especially during the early period of this pandemic - however, now that there is more understanding of the situation, I have been able to refocus ACTION on myself, rather than on planning for the handling of this situation at the store. In the last 4 weeks, I have taken action and found myself getting down and doing things that I previously never had time for. I’m proud to say that I baked my first chocolate cake (with buttercream icing), learned to make tiramisu (there’s a food theme here), and adopted a cat named Butter (still food related)!

Much of the news and information coming from the outside world may seem negative and can get you down. Once you start to begin to notice things that you can be appreciative of and feel gratitude for, you may find that things are better than they sometimes seem.
Pharmacist / @nhanjonathan903
As we continue forward through 2020, nobody could have expected our current reality. Like many years, 2020 started off with resolutions and the intention to do more and to do better. If we take a moment to imagine what a “normal” 2020 would look like, I imagine a situation, much the same as every year. The intention to change, learn new things, and better myself is strong early on, but then the year gets going and those intentions fade as “life” gets in the way. This year, with the COVID-19 pandemic, many consider that same “life” to be put on hold. And it’s an interesting metaphor because since everything has been in this holding pattern, I’ve found
