Persaud is sched- uled to appear in court by video Wednesday, Aug. 2. Police said since the incident is domestic related and investigators are not looking for any other suspects. This is the seventh homicide in Durham Region in 2017. Bright, colourful flowers lined the steps to the house where the incident occurred. But residents were in the dark as to what had happened the day before. Neighbours were not very familiar with the family that lives in the home; they say they had only recently moved in, within the past six months. Residents believe that Persaud lived in the home along with an elderly man, and two younger women. Sanjula Perera lives on the street and was home at the time of the incident, only to see a dog being removed from the residence. He had only learned of the homicide inves- tigation from the News Advertiser on Friday morning. “It’s a crazy world,” he said. He had not met the occupants. Persaud’s neighbour Anthony Ruggie- ro was not home at the time, but had got- ten a heads-up from another neighbour that something had occurred at the home. He did not know the family; he had only spoken to the younger women who appeared to live at the residence. “It’s weird,” he said. “It’s one thing to see on TV but when it’s beside your own house, it’s different.” Ruggiero noted another murder had occurred in the same subdivision in the spring. The body of Arianna Goberdhan, 27, was found in April in a home on Winville Road, just a few streets away. She was nine months pregnant and her husband, Nicholas Tyler Baig, was arrested. Anyone with information about this lat- est homicide investigation is asked to contact Det. Dorego (ext. 5319) or Det. Taylor (ext. 5405) of the DRPS Major Crime – Homicide Unit at 1-888-579-1520. Anonymous information can be sent to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or www.durhamregionalcrimestoppers.ca and tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward.

Until next month — enjoy your time exploring beautiful Durham Region! Brandon Pickard is the new Manager of Tourism for the Region of Durham. Brandon Pickard Durham Tourism our oPInIonour oPInIonour oPInIon The story of Gwen — a homeless 84-year- old Durham senior with mental health issues — is a story of a person who’s fallen between that gaps that exist within Durham Region’s social services agencies. Essentially, though, it’s about caring: do we care and have compassion for our most vulnerable or don’t we? Do we have a plan for exceptionalities like Gwen, or do we allow them to languish on our streets? Wendy Murdoch of Brooklin, a retired trauma counsellor, has advocated for Gwen over the years. She’s watched her bounce from motels, spending nights with people who’ve offered her a place to stay, as well stays at domestic violence shelters, the ER at Lakeridge Health Oshawa and at the police station. Murdoch says Gwen has gone through the gamut of Durham agencies that have tried to help the senior get off the streets but were ultimately unsuccessful. It’s no easy case. Recently, a local organi- zation tried to connect her with a small apart- ment following a hospital stay with a bro- ken hip at Lakeridge Health Oshawa but the senior simply walked away. “She’s always evicted,” explained Mur- doch. “Whenever she has had a place, she’ll always refuse to pay her rent. She becomes very argumentative, very confrontational; she will break things and she make threats, she has been violent in the past and so all of those things make it impossible.” Murdoch said her latest effort to get Gwen off the streets was applying to a justice of the peace to have Gwen apprehended by police under the Mental Health Act and taken to Lakeridge Health for an assessment. She was brought to the hospital on July 17 but released within two days. Murdoch said she’s since lost touch with Gwen, who was reportedly last seen in the Newcastle area. Murdoch is hoping Gwen can be referred to the geriatric psychiatry unit at Ontario Shores. The facility requires a referral from a hospital, long-term care facilities, family phy- sician or specialist. The next time Gwen ends up at Lakeridge, she hopes the hospital will refer her. Where there is one Gwen, there must be others facing not only homelessness, but also complex mental health issues in Durham. There’s a difference between finding housing for an individual and finding the support they need to successfully hang on to that housing. It will take support from both social services and health care agencies as well as political will to make sure those sup- ports are in place and they’re available to everyone in our community. There simply must be better options than allowing an 84-year-old woman to live on the streets. Services lacking in Durham for homeless with mental health issues Columnist should have checked his facts To the editor: Re: ‘Which side would you rather be on?’ Neil Crone column, July 20 I would like to take issue with Neil Crone’s column concerning Omar Khadr. Seldom have I seen such emotion from a columnist, but he should at least have taken a few minutes to check the facts concerning the reasons for the settlement before joining the narrative that we some- how rewarded a terrorist. Like the fact that Khadr was detained for years with- out charge, denied access to a lawyer and tortured — yes, tortured — or “subject- ed to the terrors of interrogation” as Neil euphemistically puts it (obviously another of those self-satisfying terms like “collater- al damage” used to explain and justify the wilful killing of innocents). Khadr was not given a fair trial — Can- ada’s Supreme Court ruled that the guilty plea was obtained under “oppressive cir- cumstances”, a legal understatement if ever there was one, and that the Canadian gov- ernment broke international law. Nor is there any evidence that Khadr “cost the life of an American soldier”. Neil opines that Khadr “essentially spat on” our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I would suggest that Neil’s column did just that, because everyone is entitled to a fair and timely trial absent of torture or coer- cion.

Bernie & Antoinette D., Pickering Letters to the editor Federal minister's visit appreciated by Land Over Landings To the editor: Thank you for your article on the recent visit of the federal Finance Minister Bill Mor- neau to North Pickering. Land Over Landings was delighted to be asked by our MP Jenni- fer O’Connell to co-ordinate the visit to Joy- fully Organic Farm and to introduce Minister Morneau to the marvellous young agricultur- al entrepreneurs Matt Rock and Liz Beesley. We were especially honoured to wel- come the minister to the original farm prop- erty of the late Lorne Almack, whose lifelong passion for restoring economic prosperity to North Pickering through an agricultural renaissance informs our ag study and vision for these lands. Matt and Liz are just two local examples of a rising group of young men and women eager to make a living in agriculture, using innovative methods. They are highly trained, skilled and experienced. They lack only one thing — affordable, good quality land near a market. And that’s where it’s hoped Ottawa will help, by providing access to the 9,000 acres of prime farmland on the federal lands — land that is currently underused and a drain on the economy. Our vision for North Pickering Farms would bring back jobs and communities, and spark innovation, restoring North Pickering to a modern version of the thriving rural community it once was, but with the needs of the future in mind. Contrary to what your article suggests, Land Over Landings never mentioned the proposed airport. In fact, we’d be happy to never have to talk about it again. The airport threat has sucked the life, prosperity and jobs out of North Pickering. It’s time to look to the future, and the future is agriculture, agribusi- ness and agri-tourism. And by the way, the minister made good on his promise, visiting the Joyfully Organ- ic stall at the Evergreen Brickworks farmers market the following weekend.Mary Delaney Land Over Landings Casino decision plays out like a Shakespearean drama To the editor: The OMB's approval of Durham Live sets the stage for the final chapter of a long- running politically-charged Shakespear- ean play. Ajax Slots was a political gift from the then-provincial Conservatives through local landlord of the time Janet Ecker to the Con- servative fiefdom of Ajax. Over the years, it has been purported that Ajax did not share its fortunes nicely with its fellow neighbours. Durham Live has now been given rise by the provincial Liberals to the Liberal domain of Pickering. Now, the Liberal-controlled OLG will bestow one casino licence. Is the outcome preordained, or is there still anoth- er twist to be revealed? Methinks the Royal Queen of tax revenues will write the final chapter. The celebratory tax feast will be grand for sure, no matter which direction the quill pen points. John Randolph Pickering Kudos to columnist for a great article To the editor: Re: ‘Backbone needed to stand on guard,’ column, July 12 I just wanted to take a minute to say how much I enjoyed reading the article by Renae Jarrett in the Ajax News Advertiser. I totally agree with her perspective; Canada has gone too far and we do need someone to stand up and fight for a little common sense. Sadly, no politician or leader is likely to do so because they know that most of the younger genera- tion all think that this leftist swing is wonder- ful, and for a politician, that's probably going to get them elected. You're likely going to be getting some angry emails about the article though from those young'uns ... Just wanted to say kudos to Renae for writing it and to you for publish- ing it. Brian McDowell Ajax The Liberal brush-off To the editor: I am in favour of legalizing of the use of marijuana under medical supervision. However, I have grave concern about Justin Trudeau’s proposed legalization of pot for recreational use. I don’t think he has thought of all the consequences that such legislation will have on our health care, enforcement by police, and the effects it will have on Canadi- ans wishing to travel to the U.S., not to men- tion the effect on the young of our society. When asked for her opinion on the legal- ization of marijuana, Whitby Liberal MP Celi- na Caesar-Chavannes finally got back to me after a lengthy wait. Her response, or lack of it, shocked me. Because I am a resident of Oshawa, I was advised to contact my Oshawa MP on this issue. I know where MP Colin Car- rie stands on this issue. I wanted to know Ms. Caesar-Chavannes’ position. Like our Prime Minister, you ask a question and you don’t get an answer. As a Canadian, I felt I could ask the nearest Liberal MP her position. I don’t appreciate a Liberal brush-off.

In the spring of 2016, the DDSB partnered with Justice Donald McLeod — a judge with the Ontario Court of Justice — to explore con- cerns raised by the black commu- nity. After gathering feedback at public meetings, McLeod issued a report on his findings, as well as a series of recommendations. They include hiring more “racialized” teachers, engaging black students in extracurricular activities and establishing “Africen- tric advocacy” for parents and fami- lies. The school board recently cre- ated an equity and diversity steer- ing committee aimed at putting the recommendations into action. “We want the community to know we are actively … trying to make the system better,” said DDSB trustee Patrice Barnes, who co- chairs the committee along with McLeod. “We’re open to conversa- tions, we’re open to parents sharing their thoughts with us.” Barnes says black students — especially boys — are “in crisis. “There is a lot of data out there that tells us that,” she says, pointing to research that looks at suspension rates and academic achievement among black students. The committee’s action items include: expanding delivery of black studies as a credit course; working with community organi- zations to expand mentorship and coaching for black students; devel- oping an equitable recruitment policy for DDSB staff; and plans to launch a voluntary staff census in the fall of 2017, that would gather information on DDSB workforce demographics — including race. Barnes stressed that with any voluntary census there needs to be “buy in,” or else people won’t par- ticipate. She says it will be crucial to explain why the data is being col- lected, and to ensure the right lan- guage is used. “One challenge is, how do people identify?” Barnes said, noting labels such as “black” may be too limiting. There are no immediate plans to gather race-based data on stu- dents — although the board said in a statement that "the DDSB is committed to using data to support equitable student outcomes and success." Barnes says the DDSB is open to doing a student census, but is wait- ing on direction from the Ministry of Education. “We welcome it, we really are looking to make changes for our students,” she said. “What we’re waiting on, is the direction on how to do it.” The Toronto District School Board currently gathers race-based student data through a census, and the Peel District School Board has announced plans to follow suit with a student census set to launch in 2018. More information about a DDSB staff census is expected in the fall, when the board launches its new Equity and Diversity Strategic Plan. The school board also said in a statement that there are "a number of proposed projects in the 2017- 2018 school year that involve col- laboration with the Toronto District School Board, York University and other organizations, on the collec- tion and analysis of identity data."

DURHAM — Fraud charges have been laid against three peo- ple from Montreal accused of trying to pull a refund scam at Durham Region retail outlets Sunday. Police were called at about 10:45 a.m., July 23, after a woman tried to return stolen merchandise at the Walmart location on Laval Drive in Oshawa. After she was denied, it was learned she had attempt- ed the same scam earlier at the Bowmanville Walmart, Durham police said. During an arrest, officers recov- ered numerous stolen items and fraudulent documents, police said. Facing fraud-related charges are Christina Aubourg, 25; Hyann Ken- kuining-Tchouga, 21, and Sekou Keita, 25.

Galen Weston Centre for Food, with the addition of six honey bee hives. The hives — which house 50,000 to 70,000 bees each — arrived July 14. Officials at the college say the bees are a natural fit for the W. Galen Weston Centre for Food (CFF), which already fea- tures greenhouses, a pollina- tor garden, fruit and vegetable fields and an arboretum. “Field-to-fork and sustain- ability is in our DNA, it’s what we do,” says Tony Doyle, asso- ciate dean at the CFF. “We’re going to be able to incorporate honey into our restaurant, into our retail store, into our post- secondary program. The bonus of it all, of course, it’s going to help support a healthy honey bee population.” In a good year, each hive can produce up to 100 pounds of honey. A wet spring, like the one experienced this year can mean a smaller yield of about 40 pounds. Local beekeeper JoAnn Poiri- er is partnering with Durham College on the project and says the CFF property in Whitby has the potential to be a “haven” for bees. “Research is finding that urban areas provide more vari- ety of foraging materials for the honey bee, with a mix of diverse pollen and nectar sources avail- able to them,” says Poirier, who has been a beekeeper for 10 years and is the owner of Kiss My Bees Honey in Clarington. After arriving at the CFF, the bees set out on “orientation flights” to locate sources of food and water within a five mile radius, and were quick to find clover growing nearby — which Poirier says is a good sign that they are settling in. She is hopeful that the Dur- ham College project will help increase awareness of the vital role bees play in our ecosystem — and people’s everyday lives. “There’s the old saying that one in three bites of food on our plate is because of honey bees pollinating,” she says. The Durham College bees are expected to yield honey in 2018. In addition to being used by students in class, the honey will be available for sale at Pan- try — the CFF’s retail store — and incorporated into food and drinks served at Bistro ’67, the on-site restaurant.

Ajax holding pop-ups about on-street parking AJAX — A series of pop-ups are being held to gather input for the on-street parking survey the town is conducting. Once the survey is completed, the town will consider a permitting system to allow on-street parking. To date, 1,150 people have done the online survey. The pop-ups are happening Thurs- day, Aug. 3, from noon to 3 p.m. at the main branch of the Ajax Public Library, 55 Harwood Ave. S., and Tuesday, Aug. 15, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre, 75 Centennial Rd.

The results will be reviewed in the fall and presented to Council in October, when a decision will be made on wheth- er or not to proceed with a permitting system. If approved, implementation is anticipated to take place in 2018. For more information or to fill out the survey, visit www.ajax.ca/parkingsur- vey.

The variety of financing options now offered by lenders is overwhelming. One of the most popular options is a home equity line of credit. With inter- est rates typically lower than other forms of credit, this line of credit can help you reach your financial goals. However, there are several factors to consider when deciding if this product is right for you. Banks market home equity lines of credit under different names, which might make it challenging to recognize when you are being offered one. They are commonly combined with a regular term mortgage in the form of a “readvanceable mortgage.” When combined this way, the credit limit on your home equity line of cred- it will often increase automatically as you pay down the principal on your mortgage. A readvanceable mortgage may also tie together other credit and banking products —such as personal loans, credit cards and car loans — un- der a single credit limit. Benefits of bundling these products together include convenience and lower interest rates. But the downsides include fees and restrictions if you want to switch to another lender, and variable interest rates that could in- crease on short notice. Your financial institution also has the right to demand that you pay the full amount owing at any time. When deciding if this lending product is right for you, remember that your home is likely your biggest investment. You should beware of overborrowing against its equity, especially if you’re counting on it to fund your retirement. “Most lenders allow you to make interest-only payments on your home equity line of credit, making it easier to delay repaying the principal balance,” explains Lucie Tedesco, commissioner of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. “Continually borrowing against your home’s equity without repaying the principal can jeopardize your long-term financial security. For instance, in the event of a housing market correction you might owe more than what your home is worth.” Ask yourself if a low interest rate and easy access to credit may encourage you to spend more than you can afford to pay back. You could find yourself in a debt spiral, using additional home equity just to stay current on your mort- gage. This could make you more vulnerable to unforeseeable events, like job loss, illness or an interest rate hike. Consider creating your own plan to pay down the principal amount bor- rowed over a fixed period. Aim to pay more than the minimum payment or interest every month. With a home equity line of credit, there is usually no penalty to pay back as much as you can at any time. Find more information online at canada.ca/money.

Hampstead is based on the true story of Harry Hallowes, an Irishman, who in 2007 won squatters rights to a half-acre plot of land on Hampstead Heath, worth £2 million, because he’d lived there for more than 12 years. Keaton plays Emily Walters, an Ameri- can widow living in a flat overlooking the heath, and struggling financially. From an attic window, she spots Donald Horn- er (Gleeson) being attacked in his shack - and goes to find him. What ensues is a sweet and funny love story, as two people that don’t quite fit in take solace in each other. “What I liked about [Emily] was that she was stuck and lying to herself, she was kind of charming, but she was lost - she needed something to jolt her out of the rut she was in. And then, ‘Boom!’ every- thing changed with a pair of binoculars.” Keaton’s iconic Annie Hall look - but- toned up shirts and scarves, and trouser suits with top-pocket handkerchiefs - can be seen in the film, although, as she says, it’s a “little more conservative”. “The costume designer, Liza Bracey, the sweetest woman ever, toned it down, which was important, but also, I did want to be that fish-out-of-water. I didn’t want to look like the other women in the movie, because they were all proper and well-to- do and wealthy, ‘the club’... and I wanted me to be the person from America who was, you know, just not really quite right.” ‘The club’ is led by busy-body block of flats resident Fiona, played by Lesley Manville, who lends Emily money but pressures her into supporting her hus- band’s company’s bid to develop the land Donald lives on. Compared to Emily, the group of ladies- who-lunch in her building seem com- pletely disingenuous, but Keaton dis- agrees. “She was just as guilty of being disin- genuous herself. She took her money, she pretended like she liked her... not OK. That’s why I was really interested about her relationship to these people, where she was never honest, didn’t stand for much of anything and kind of going along... Every bit as bad as everyone else.” Does she think the film industry can be disingenuous? Hollywood is complicated “I don’t think Hollywood is shallow, I think it’s complicated like everything else. And also, what is Hollywood any- more? The concept of Hollywood in gen- eral is over. It’s so vast now, entertain- ment and what it means and the kind of people that are drawn to it, it’s another world.” It’s a world away from the Hollywood of 40 years ago, when Keaton’s big break came in 1977’s Annie Hall, which was written and directed by and co-starred her former boyfriend and frequent col- laborator Woody Allen. It won four Oscars, including Best Actress and made a style icon of Keaton, who today is dressed suitably ‘Annie’ in a crisp white shirt, black jacket cinched in with a wide belt, wide-leg trousers which stop on her shin, showing off chunky black boots. How much of Annie was Keaton? “I think it was a combination - being a great writer, Woody wrote it. That’s really hard to do, even if you’re writing some- body you know, to have that ability - he’s been able to write female parts better than anybody. He’s a great observer of women in particular. It’s amazing how he captures their voices.” Five years earlier, at 26, her first film role was as Michael Corleone’s long-suffering wife Kay in The Godfather, a role Keaton has said “had no voice”. What did she mean by that? “I think that was an interesting reason [director Francis Ford Coppola] might have cast me, because she hadn’t devel- oped her voice. She didn’t know, she was just in love with this man, and he too didn’t know, in the beginning and it just slowly evolved. That was one of the inter- esting parts of The Godfather, that he changed so much, with time and power. Power corrupts absolutely.” In April, the director and members of Photo by Jason LaVeris / FilmMagic LOS ANGELES -- Actress Diane Keaton attends the premiere of Love The Coopers at Park Plaza on Nov. 12, 2015.

Many people have trouble catching what’s being said in a conversation.Missingwordscan be frustrating and some people decideit’seasiernotbeingpartof aconversationatall.Withdrawing isawayofcopingwithnot hearing well.Butitdoesn’t havetobethat way.Hearingaidscanhelpthose with hearinglossgetback intothe conversation so that they can be fully engaged and social again. Theabilitytoaccuratelyunderstand spoken words is called “speech comprehension.” It’s a complex process involving several areas in the brain – and most importantly – our hearing. As we age and our hearing changes,it becomes not only harder to hear speech, it also takes more effort to understand what’s being said. Add to the mix people speaking at the same time in a group, or background noise, and it can become very difficult to hear. Fortunately, studies show that people who wear hearing aids are able to understand speech better than people with hearing loss who don’t. When hearing is improved the brain can do its job processing the sounds that makeupspeech.Newhearingaid technology, such as the Phonak Virto B-Titanium, is designed to help understand speech even in a group conversation or when thereisalotofbackgroundsound. Hear a conversation with ease and confidence, whether it’s at a restaurant or busy meeting. The Phonak V irto B-Titanium is the smallest custom hearing aid from leading manufacturer Phonak.

Do not share your antibiotics with anyone Colds, flus, and infections are concerns for everyone this time of year, but adults aged 65 and over are at an increased risk of getting sick. This is because older adults may have a weakened immune system and are frequently exposed to healthcare settings where infections can easily spread. This means older adults are also at an increased risk of an antibiotic resistant infection. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bac- teria change so that the antibiotics used to treat the bacteria become less effective and sometimes stop working altogether. There are also not enough new antibiot- ics being developed, leaving few alterna- tives when an antibiotic no longer works to treat a bacterial infection. Antibiotic resistance can happen nat- urally, but a major contributor is the overuse and misuse of antibiotics. This includes using antibiotics when they are not needed, not taking antibiotics as pre- scribed, self-medicating, and sharing antibiotics. Fortunately, there are simple tips older adults‚ and those living and working with them‚ can follow to prevent infections and antibiotic resistance. 1. Keep vaccinations up to date. The best defence is a good offence, so it is important to make sure all required and recommended vaccinations are up to date, including the annual flu shot. 2. Practice good hygiene. Keep hands clean, and cough and sneeze into your elbow or tissue. Clean common surfaces with soap and water. Store, handle, and prepare food safely to avoid food-related illness. 3. Use antibiotics responsibly. Taking antibiotics when they are not needed can increase their risk of not working when you really need them. Take prescribed antibiotics exactly as directed. Do not share your antibiotics with anyone, and be sure to return unused medicine to the pharmacy for safe disposal. Find more information at canada.ca/ antibiotics. NC Antibiotic resistance and seniors: Everything you need to know the cast, including Al Pacino who played Michael, Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall, gathered to mark the film’s 45th anniversary. “It was touching and sad and beautiful and Francis was telling those great stories as only Francis could. I don’t think I’ve seen Al Pacino in 20 years! It was heart- breaking on some level because many people are gone, but at the same time, I was so proud just to be a small part of that movie, because the movie is still a piece of genius, without a doubt.” Keaton dated Pacino on and off, and Warren Beatty is also on her list of former beaus. But she never married. Was she tempted? Marriage was tempting “Of course I was tempted to get mar- ried, but mercifully I didn’t. I don’t think I’m marriage material. I got used to my mother being in a certain sense my assis- tant. She was always helping me do what I wanted to do, so I didn’t really want to be a wife, because in those days - I was born in ‘46 - what a woman’s role was, I didn’t really want that role. “I think instinctively something in me knew, ‘Gee that isn’t really what I want’. I want someone to help me get what I want... That’s what my mom represented, she was a very unique mother. Everything I wanted to do, she tried to help me and they were all my ideas. I remember I went out and I sold earrings around the neigh- bourhood because I wanted to get money and she made the earrings! She facilitated, she was my first assistant in the grand scheme of things. I loved her dearly.” Keaton became a mother herself at 50, after her father died, when she adopted her first child, daughter Dexter, and then five years later, son Duke. “You know, it’s a little old. It’s sort of like I should have been a grandmother and I was by myself, so it was a big task to take on,” she says now. “Of course, I wouldn’t have it any other way, ever, but I do think there are certain things that are probably best younger. “You have to be careful, life-span is important, how do I know how long I’m going to live, of course I’ve been lucky so far, it’s 21 years later, my daughter Dexter is 21. [Motherhood] does change every- thing.” When she looks back over her career, is there anything she would tell her young- er self now? “I wish I had been less hesitant and more assertive, ‘cos I would have seen more and known more. But also I’m real- ly happy with what I have.” – The Interview People ‘I don’t think I’m marriage material’: Keaton I from page 15 du r h a m r e g i o n . c o m Ne w s A d v e r t i s e r • Au g u s t 2 , 2 0 1 7 17 AP 75 BAYLY STWEST AJAX L1S 7K7 NO FRILLS PLAZA Senior’s Day Last Monday of each monthsave 20% Full Postal Outlet “From anywhere...to anyone” HOURs: MONDAYTO FRIDAY 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM SATURDAY 9:00 AM - 6:00 PMSUNDAY 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM We have the PROTECTION & RELIEF for what Bites &Burns You!

At first he reacted like many‚ experi- encing denial and withdrawal. He also suffered from depression, a common symptom of the degenerative brain disease. That was a decade ago. Over the last 10 years he has rebuilt his life living with Parkinson’s. Bell started a construc- tion estimating company and went back to work part-time. He also revived his social life. Bell even began exercising, taking up boxing with others. He says it helps relieve his symptoms and pro- vides him with peer support. He also has speech therapy sessions. “I can hardly hold a screwdriver now, where before I used to swing a ham- mer like it was nothing,” Bell says of the impact of Parkinson’s on his life. “It’s hard to multi-task; your brain doesn’t work that way anymore.” Fearing the stigma of the disease, Bell had a hard time explaining to people why he was shaking, or why he might be slower and unable to do the things he used to do so easily. It took years before he decided to share his diagnosis widely with others. “It’s something that’s very personal, sharing that information,” Bell says. But two years ago, he decided to let everyone know. “It’s hard to explain, I just knew it was time, it felt right.” Bell posted his news on Facebook in 2015 and was joined by 25 friends to support him in Parkinson SuperWalk, the largest annual fundraiser for Par- kinson Canada. He attributes part of his healing to the walk. In 2016, Bell became the event’s first National Hero. He cried when he read some of his nomination letters. “You don’t realize the impact you can have, just by being yourself,” he says. Until there is a cure, he asks for under- standing from everyone, for anyone dealing with a chronic disease or dis- ability. Find more information at www.parkin- son.ca.

They quickly made a name for themselves, not just for being a private practice in a time when that was rare, but for always embracing new technology and providing their clients with the absolute best care. In 1994, the clinic moved into the Pickering Medical Centre at the invitation of the building’s physicians, offering a more accessible space for all of their clients. As the demands for hearing healthcare increased, their team listened to the needs of their clients and openedWhitby Hearing Centre in 1994 and Bayly Audiology Services in 2000. In 2016, they opened their fourth clinic in Oshawa and changed the name of all of their clinics to Advanced Hearing Ontario. It used to be that people were incredibly resistant to wearing hearing aids, as the only options available were big, bulky devices that were uncomfortable to wear and advertised that you were wearing one. But with the advances in technology, today’shearingaidsnotonlyworksomuch better, but they are so much smaller that you often can’t tell someone is wearing them. Analog technology has given way to much improved digital technologies, providing clients with better hearing than ever before. If you have ever put off having your hearing tested because you didn’t think a hearing aid would help, or didn’t want others to know you were wearing one, it’s time to make an appointment and learn how much hearing aids have really changed. Begin your journey to better hearing by making an appointment for a comprehensive hearing test. Their team will review your results with you and help you find the best solutions to improve your hearing. Being an independently owned and operated hearing clinic, they can offer a wide range of hearing aids and assisted listening devices that can change your life. You can also count on their team for hearing aid dispensing, fitting and repairs, as well as custom ear molds and earplugs, tinnitus evaluation and management, paediatric audiology and more.

What is a fascinator? Even though you may have never heard of a fascinator, you’ve likely seen one. Many people refer to them as the“fancy hats”worn by the royal family. But a fascinator is not actually a hat; it’s a decorative headpiece that can consist of flowers, feathers, beads, veils and more that are attached to a headband,comb or hair clip. Fascinators are quite commonly worn in Britain, and are often worn to formal events such as weddings, cocktail parties, art openings, garden or tea parties, and, of course,the Kentucky Derby. While it’s a fun accessory that can add a ‘wow’factortoyouroutfit,thereare‘right’ways to wear a fascinator.Typically a fascinator isworn on the right side of the head, on theside or towards the front. A fascinator canalso be worn on the back of the head aspart of your hairstyle, including updos andother formal styles.It’s best to keep your hairsimple to let your fascinator shine.First-timers may want to keep the fascinator small, but be sure to keep it proportion to your headand hair. Be sure to be polite when wearing a fascinator and be mindful that peoplebehind you likely won’t be able to seethrough it! Hey Ladies!
