Great Canadian Gaming, the company selected to operate casi- nos in the Greater Toronto Area, has chosen the Pickering site for a casino. That means Casino Ajax, the facility that's been operating since 2006, will close. Ontario Gaming GTA LP (OGGLP), a partnership between Great Canadian Gaming and Brookfield Business Partners, will operate the Pickering casino, which will be built at Church and Bayly streets. The Durham Live proposal in- cludes hotels, convention space, an indoor water park and film studios, along with the casino. OGGLP said in a press release the Durham Live site would cre- ate more than 10,000 local jobs. The casino would have about 2,000 employees, including 1,700 new jobs. Jobs currently at Casi- no Ajax would transfer to the new location when that casino opens. The press release notes the Durham Live casino will be open in late 2019. "I'm very pleased to acknowl- edge that the great Canadian Gaming Corporation has chosen Pickering as the new home for their casino operations," said Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, add- ing he's looking forward to it moving forward "at a significant pace." "Ajax has done well by Ajax Slots having received about $75 million for its use since it opened, but the province and OLG want- ed to go with an improved busi- ness model and a competitive process," said Coun. Pickles. He said the Pickering Durham Live site and proposal is simply bigger and better, including more gaming, convention, hotel and entertainment opportunities and will result in more revenue and jobs. "We could be looking at up to $25 million per year in financial benefits and 15,000 jobs when ev- erything is up and running. That's a huge benefit to our com- munity and taxpayers," said Coun. Pickles With files from Kristen Calis Editor’s note: Watch for more on this story in Thursday’s News Advertiser. A site in Pickering has been chosen for a new casino, beating out an existing facility in Ajax. Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan said the site could create up to 15,000 jobs when the Durham Live proposal is built out.

Gordon Food Services will build a new distribution centre at the northwest corner of Salem and Ringer roads. The U.S.-based company said in a press release the facility will distribute food-ser- vice products across Ontario. Groundbreak- ing will be in the spring and the warehouse should be in operation by the fall of 2019. "Gordon Food Service first established a presence in Canada in the early 1990s, and we have grown steadily to now operate coast to coast," Rich Wolowski, North American president and CEO, said in a statement. "The new Ajax facility further strengthens our position as the largest privately-held broa- dline distributor in Canada, and I'm excited about the opportunities this new facility will create for our customers across Ontario." Andrew Poray, a senior economic devel- opment officer with Ajax, said the company has a facility in Milton. "This expansion is to service their growth in the GTA. They've outgrown the Milton site and they need something to grow their GTA presence," he said. Deb Abraham, a spokesperson for Gor- don, said, "Our distribution centre locations typically employ up to several hundred peo- ple, including warehouse and transporta- tion team members. We don't have specific numbers for Ajax at this time." Site preparation work has already begun and tree removal has started, Poray added. "They want to move as quickly as possi- ble," he said. One reason Ajax was chosen was because the town had pre-serviced industrial land in the Carruthers Creek Business Park, so a company could get moving faster, he noted. Mayor Steve Parish said in a statement, "Strategically situated in the Carruthers Creek Business Park, the new Gordon Food Service facility will create new jobs in the lo- gistics and warehousing services sector in Ajax. "Through our unique PriorityPath pro- gram, Gordon Food Service will receive ex- pert support to navigate the development approvals process, including expedited site plan and building approvals. In partnership with Durham Region, we are proud to facil- itate the creation of local jobs and contribute to the economic sustainability of our com- munity," Parish added.

"This is disgusting. Yes, I believe in doing pruning. This is devastation," said resident Debbie Kent, as a group of residents met near the lake, in the West Shore area, a contractor cutting down trees nearby. "This is not consideration for the environment," said resident Jan Kimble. The City of Pickering and the Toronto and Region Con- servation Authority (TRCA) made the decision to remove around 160 trees along Beachpoint Promenade to accommodate road widen- ing and other plans for the phase 1 reconstruction of Ro- tary Frenchmans' Bay West Park. The city informed resi- dents abutting the park and community groups of the tree removal, but many say they didn't know it would be so extreme. "Not within our lifetime or our kids' lifetimes are we going to see a recovery from this," said resident and wild- life photographer Heather Jakobsen. "It's devastating. I don't know how the city has thought this through prop- erly." Jakobsen, like other resi- dents, shared concerns for the vast wildlife that live in the area. "This area's a gem. It's just a natural oasis," said Jim Farintosh, who often paddles in the area. Removed trees include hazardous and invasive spe- cies, such as Manitoba ma- ple, Buckthorn and Tree of Heaven. "These all over time will get rotted out and fall down and potentially cause risk to our residents," said Arnold Mostert, Pickering's senior co-ordinator of landscape and parks development. The tree removal also in- cluded healthy trees within the construction area. "We will be widening that road to standards and pro- viding lay-by parking down each side to provide proper parking within the park," said Mostert. The tree branches and understorey vegetation will be chipped and the large logs will be collected for reuse in various restoration projects by the TRCA. As part of the phase 1 plans, the city will plant 168 native trees, 1,060 native shrubs, and a large area of wild flowers and grasses in this area of redevelopment. Other phase 1 plans in- clude an enhanced trail sys- tem, pedestrian crossings and an educational area. "As Pickering develops, obviously there will be more demand for people to come to the waterfront so we have to provide safe and accessi- ble access to these resi- dents," said Mostert. Karen McDonald, TRCA's manager of restora- tion projects, said pedestri- ans currently walk any- where, trampling vegeta- tion as they go. "The master plan will see improvements to this," she said. She understands it's tough for residents to watch the tree removal. "It's too bad but in the end it's going to result we think in a better system both for nature and for people," she said. Ward 1 city Coun. Mau- rice Brenner said in an email "at some point given the con- ditions we have experienced last year with extensive flooding, the same removal and regeneration would have been necessary sooner than later to project the bal- ance in this sensitive area." Following hurricane Ha- zel in the 1960s, the TRCA ac- quired waterfront property and put it into public owner- ship. It purchased small cot- tages lining Beachpoint Promenade and demolished them. The rest of the land features remained un- touched but over time the ar- ea became overgrown with other invasive tree species. In 2001 Pickering entered into a management agree- ment with the TRCA and a number of plans were pre- pared for park improve- ments. After thorough commu- nity consultations, Picker- ing council approved the Ro- tary Frenchman's Bay West Park Master Plan in 2012. "The plan has been pre- pared to provide a balance between public access and the preservation of the envi- ronmentally sensitive areas within the park," said Mos- tert. But many residents feel the plans taking shape are starkly different from what they saw in earlier planning stages. "It's great to finally see ac- tion being taken but unfor- tunately the plan ignores many recommendations made over the years, partic- ularly those maintaining the Promenades' natural state as much as possible. The community believes this can be achieved while also ad- dressing accessibility limi- tations in its present state," said Pickering West Shore Community Association president Andre Pilon. From 1997 to 1998, resi- dent David Steele was chair of the Pickering Citizens Taskforce to develop a com- prehensive citizens' vision of the waterfront. With help from residents, subcommit- tees, stakeholders and staff of the Waterfront Regenera- tion Trust and the TRCA, and incorporating several documents regarding the ar- ea, the task force brought forward its vision. Steele said the current construction plan is no- where near the plans that were developed in 2012, and noted residents have seen five different plans for the ar- ea referred to as the West Spit. "This one is the worst," he said in a letter. Steele questions why the budget for phase 1 soared in 2018, and noted future plans for a motorized boat launch are opposed by PWSCA.

"Early detection and warning from a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm, and knowing what to do to escape a fire, are both equally important and cru- cial to your survival," said Pickering Fire Chief John Hagg. "The recent events in our community reinforce the importance of evacuat- ing your home immediately upon alarm notification, and staying outside once you have safely escaped." An elderly woman died in a fire on Bem Avenue on March 23 and on March 18 a man, 59, died in a Marks- bury Road fire. Alarm tips include: in- stall smoke alarms on every floor of the home; for added protection, install alarms in every bedroom according to manufacturer's recommen- dations; install carbon monoxide alarms outside all sleeping areas if your home has a fuel-burning ap- pliance, fireplace, or at- tached garage. For added protection, install a carbon monoxide alarm on every storey of your home accord- ing to manufacturer's rec- ommendations. Test alarms monthly by press- ing the 'test' button and change the batteries every year, and replace alarms ac- cording to manufacturer's recommendations. Home fire escape plan- ning tips include: know two ways out of each room, if possible; all exits must be unobstructed and easy to use; if someone in your home has a disability, devel- op a home fire escape plan with your household that takes into account their unique needs; determine who will be responsible for helping young children, older adults, and anyone who needs assistance to es- cape; choose a meeting place outside, where every- one can be accounted for; call the fire department from outside the home, from a cellphone or a neigh- bour's home; practice your home fire escape plan; once out, stay out. Never re-enter a burning building. For people who live in apartment buildings and need assistance to escape: notify the superintendent or landlord; ensure your name is added to the per- sons who require assis- tance list in the fire safety plan; and know the emer- gency procedures outlined in the building's fire safety plan. Pickering Fire Services provides free smoke and carbon monoxide alarm in- spections. Call 905-839-9968 or email fire@pickering.ca. For more information, visit pickering.ca/fire. NEWS Pickering shares safety tips after two fatal fires Following four major fires, three of them fatal, all preventable, Pickering Fire Services is spreading the word about fire prevention in the community.

Ron Pietroniro / Metroland DURHAM - Lakeridge Health hospitals across Durham are getting an additional $11.94 mil- lion, the Ontario government announced on Friday, March 23. "It's exciting, we're getting just under $12 million. Primari- ly we'll focus those dollars in a few areas, all will be focused on different aspects of wait times," said Matthew Anderson, Laker- dige Health CEO. He said part of the money will be puts towards creating more beds in hospital units, which will help reduce wait times in the three Durham emergency departments. Local hospitals will also use the funds to increase the number of elec- tive surgeries (i.e. shoulder sur- geries and hip and knee replace- ments) which will reduce the time Durham patients spend waiting for the surgeries. Lake- ridge Health will also be looking for ways to work more effective- ly with community partner agenciess to help get seniors in hospital beds the support they need to go home or quicker placement into a long term care home. "All of these things are really about how do we provide better access to our services. When we free up in-patient beds that means we can get more people through our emergency rooms faster. If we can get people to surgery a little quicker it means they don't have to go to the emergency room because we were able to take care of them while they were still healthy," said Anderson. "It really is about different ways to improve people's access to their servic- es." Lakeridge Health operates five hospitals across Durham Region (four hospitals with emergency rooms Ajax-Picker- ing, Bowmanville, Oshawa and Port Perry and one specialty hospital without an emergency department in Whitby). The more than 4,900 doctors, nurses and other health care profes- sionals care for more than 1,600 people every day. Minister Tracy MacCharles, Pickering-Scarborough East MPP, and Durham MPP Gran- ville Anderson were at Lake- ridge Health Bowmanville hos- pital on Friday, March 23 to an- nounce the funding increase. "It enables them to better serve the community and that's what it should be all about," said MPP Anderson. The additional funding is part of the provincial govern- ment's recent commitment to invest an additional $822 mil- lion in Ontario hospitals in the 2018-2019 budget. "It's the largest single gov- ernment investment in hospi- tals in almost a decade," said Minister MacCharles. Durham hospitals get almost $12 million funding boost Looking down the hallway of the emergency room at Lakeridge Health Oshawa.

The lake is awakening from its winter slumber. It's an awesome spectacle, in the truest sense of the word. The sounds issuing from beneath the ice are deep, menacing, even ter- rible. And although there is still a good foot of solid, safe, pedestrian depth out there, my intestinal forti- tude has been tested se- verely on more than one walk. Nothing puts the fear of God into you faster than feeling the ice tremble and heave beneath your feet. I know I must look like an idiot but I've taken to walking the dogs with a life-jacket on. It's difficult to describe and maybe it's just me but I could and do spend hours sitting and listening to it. It's mesmerizing. Like whale watching or staring at a volcano or a thunder- ing cataract, the size and majesty of the thing fixes you in place. It gives you pause. After a while, I'd swear it's speaking directly to me, telling me it's ancient story. I've always been fully on board with the Indige- nous philosophy that all things in the natural world are alive; talking among themselves and to us. In urban environs the voices are almost imper- ceptible, lost in the din of traffic, both human and mechanical. But up here, they are sometimes deaf- ening. The roar of the wind through the trees, the waves rhythmically wear- ing away the granite shoreline and, of course, the muffled labour pains of a thawing lake. As enormous as these sounds are they are also strangely intimate. I don't hear them when the lake is full of Jet Ski's and laughter and camp- fire chatter. The price of admission into the conversation, the rite of passage into the se- crets and wisdom that are constantly being whis- pered, is silence. Silence and stillness. It seems to me, as I sit here, happily listening to the rumbling voice of my el- ders, putting more of both of those things into any life is an idea well worth heeding. –Neil Crone, actor, comic, writer, saves some of his best lines for this column Listening to the rumbling of the thawing lake The lake seems to be telling an ancient tale, says columnist Neil Crone •LETTERS & COMMENTARY • Every neighbour- hood needs an Archie To the editor: In this world today when we hear so many sto- ries of heartbreak it is up- lifting to have Archie as a neighbour on our street. Early in the morning on even the most brutal days Archie can be seen plowing all the sidewalks on the av- enue and clearing porches, plowing snow from elderly or sick neighbours' drive- ways. He does this without payment and always has a cheery smile no matter his situation or personal prob- lems. I am a 74-year-old wom- an who has been the recipi- ent of Archie's great big heart of kindness. Every street needs an Archie, thank God we have one on ours. There must be many more in Oshawa. Hazel MacPhail Oshawa United States should take control of its guns To the editor: This should not affect us, but it does. Another mass shooting took place in the U.S. a few weeks ago and this time it was teenag- ers who were killed. There have been 18 mass shoot- ings in the U.S. since Jan. 1 of this year! The news media has not reported them all because they deem other stories more newsworthy (I think!). First, we had Sandy Hook where 26 chil- dren and adults were mur- dered, then there was the nightclub shooting in Flor- ida where 50 people were also murdered. Then we had 58 people murdered in Las Vegas be- cause they wanted to go to an outdoor concert to hear some music. I do not have to go on. There are some people in Canada who lobby for more lax gun laws like they "have in the States." I would not want to live in a coun- try that has gun laws like they do in the U.S. because I would not want to be con- stantly afraid a person might kill me for looking at them. I have always said that people are allowed to have their own beliefs about gun control. No more! We have very strict gun control laws in this country and the laws should be even more strict than they are. God forbid we should become like our neighbour to the south. Japan has very very strict gun laws. A person cannot even buy a handgun there. If someone in Japan wants to buy another type of gun, the authorities want to know why they want a gun. The person then has to pass a medical and mental stability test and they must also pass a written test be- fore they will even be con- sidered to be allowed to purchase a gun. There are a lot of gun owners who behave re- sponsibly when it comes to weapons, but there are also a lot of illegal guns that people use. Please use your own sense of what is right and what is wrong when it comes to any weapon.

Glasses for the Whole family! 2 FOR2 DURHAM - Roger An- derson was remembered not only as a politician, but as a family man committed to his sons and grand- daughter.Westney Heights Baptist Church was packed as hundreds came to pay their respects to Anderson, who lost his battle with cancer on Saturday, March 24.Pastor Jack Hannah said, "This is a service to honour someone who has served us so well."Hannah noted Anderson tried to keep his health issues pri- vate because "he didn't want other people both- ered by him. He wanted to keep on his regional re- sponsibilities."Hannah said Anderson called him when he was near death. The pair met and were joined by Anderson's son Warren and friend Bruce Pugh. Anderson wanted a "more family traditional funeral" and not a state fu- neral."He wanted me to make sure I conveyed to Warren, Ryan and Rhonda the support extended to them. You're important people. Ryan, Warren and Rhonda were important to him. Not so important as a young lady, Riley (grand- daughter)," Hannah said. "Riley was Roger's pride and joy from the second he met her. He spoiled her rot- ten.""Today we're gather- ing to remember the man and reflect on the value of this man to his family and the community," Hannah added.Anderson had want- ed a reading of Psalm 23 and The Lord's Prayer dur- ing the service, and it was handled by Pastor Don Sy- mons.Hannah joked, "He had a unique sense of hu- mour, especially after a few black Russians. I don't know those people."When Anderson was first diag- nosed, "His primary con- cern wasn't him, but how it would affect his work. He continued to work, even though he knew the end was near."Family was a priority and Anderson "al- ways wanted to be at every hockey game, soccer game or school event, even if he still had on a suit and a tie from work," Hannah stat- ed.Durham's chief admin- istrative officer Garry Cu- bitt spoke of Anderson's passion for his job and of his accomplishments."Pro- tecting the region was his biggest challenge," Cubitt said. "Roger was working at his dream job. He often said he had the best jo- b."Anderson was very proud of pushing through the rebuilding of all four homes-for-the-aged operat- ed by the region, Cubitt no- ted."He said the residents deserved a good home," he added."He was a trailblaz- er, an influential cheer- leader, an advocate and courageous and he certain- ly was that," Cubitt sta- ted."He was enormously proud of his sons and he was over the moon about being a grandfather to Ril- ey," he added. "There are very few of us who will have an impact on the com- munity and chair Roger Anderson was one of them- ."Jenny Gerbasi, the depu- ty mayor of Winnipeg and the president of the Feder- ation of Canadian Munici- palities, said, "If spent any time with him, below that tough exterior was a real gentleman and a sense of humour. He could be blunt, but when he spoke, we lis- tened."She added Ander- son's "impact will remain for a long, long time, both in the communities and in our lives."Pat Vanini, the executive director of the Association of Municipali- ties of Ontario, joked about the organization holding meetings where lunch would be served."If he didn't get his egg-salad sandwich, it could make for a rocky start," she no- ted."His commitment and willpower seemed to have no limits," she said. "Rog- er's legacy is much broader than most people realize. He was a father, a leader, a friend. Well done Roger- ."Rene Soetens, a longtime friend and former Ajax council colleague, spoke of Anderson's involvement in the town, from being in the Kinsmen club to serving as Ajax Home Week chair one year. The Rotary Club be- stowed the Pat Bayly Award on Anderson.An- derson was also involved in raising millions of dollars for the Ajax-Pickering hos- pital, as well as post-sec- ondary institutions in Dur- ham."His time with us and his influence on us was sig- nificant. Go with the knowledge that his time with his friends, his family, with Ajax, with Durham Region will be remem- bered," Soetens said.

(Just East of Harwood Ave.) RioCan Durham Ctr. 905.427.2726 www.makimono.ca ALL YOU CAN EAT OSHAWA - The man ac- cused of murdering a wom- an and two of her children in Ajax made a brief ap- pearance via video link in court Thursday. Cory Fenn has been ap- proved for Legal Aid and has hired Toronto lawyer Mary Cremer to represent him, court heard. He's been remanded for another vid- eo appearance April 19. Fenn, 29, of Ajax, faces three counts of second-de- gree murder. Krassimira Pejcinovski, 39 and her 15- year-old son Roy Pejcinov- ski, were found dead by po- lice responding to a 911 call at a Hilling Drive home at about 11 a.m. March 14. Pej- cinovski's 13-year-old daughter Venallia, who was found in the home with serious injuries, died later that night in a Toronto hos- pital. Two of the victims were stabbed while a third died of asphyxiation, police said. Fenn and Krassimira Pejcinovski had been in a relationship, police con- firmed. He was arrested late in the afternoon on the day of the killings and has been in custody since. Injuries to Fenn's face that were apparent when he appeared in bail court March 15 appeared to have healed as of Thursday. Dur- ham police said Fenn sus- tained the injuries during a struggle with officers dur- ing his arrest. Outside court Cremer said the case is at a very preliminary stage, with some disclosure now being provided by the Crown. "The first initial receipt of disclosure means we can start," she said. "We're at the very early stages of the case." It's too early to say if Fenn will apply for release on bail, Cremer said. Given the nature of the charges, any such application would be heard by a Superior Court judge. New guidelines for trial times imposed by the Su- preme Court mean both the prosecution and defence must strive to advance Fenn's case, Cremer said. "There's an obligation for the Crown and defence to move it along," she said. "We are both very anxious to move this case along as quickly as we can." NEWS Lawyer Mary Cremer, seen here speaking to reporters outside the Oshawa courthouse Thursday, March 29, has been hired to represent Cory Fenn. Fenn is charged with the murders of a woman and two of her children in Ajax.

NEWS Community meeting for south Ajax residents DURHAM - An Ajax Catholic school has been recognized for helping students with special needs meet the provincial litera- cy standard. St. Bernadette Catholic School recently received the Dr. Bette M. Stephenson Recogni- tion of Achievement, which rec- o gnizes schools across Ontario that use Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) data to boost student achieve- ment. This year, the focus of the program was literacy skills for students with special education needs. "Equity and inclusion are foundational for a strong public educational system," says No- rah Marsh, chief executive offi- cer of EQAO. "By fostering in- clusive learning environments, our schools can help every indi- vidual succeed, regardless of background or circumstance." Susie Lee-Fernandes, princi- pal at St. Bernadette, said the school's student well-being and achievement team uses EQAO data to assess individual stu- dents' knowledge and personal- ize their instruction.

Pickering Town Centre www.kleinfootcare.ca The Road Less Travelled By Cece M. Scott Liona Boyd, 68, is famously known as the ‘ e First Lady of the Classical Guitar.’ A ve-time Grammy Award winner, (Instru- mental Artist of the Year), member of the Order of Canada (1981), and Order of On- tario, (1991), Boyd is a free-spirited ower child who fell in love with the classical guitar when she was 13. With music as her passion, and the guitar as her best friend, Boyd has played for queens, presidents, prime ministers and dictators. “Sometimes I pinched myself, but really I took it all in my stride,” Boyd says. Fluent in both Spanish and French, Boyd’s life has been a series of interesting, amorous, and occasionally tumultuous chapters, which open the door for intrigu- ing peeks into the lives of many we know well, if not personally. Canadian folk icon, Gordon Lightfoot, helped launch Boyd’s career, encourag- ing her to write her own music. “I was the opening act for Gordon for over 100 con- certs,” Boyd says. “He always brought me back onstage at the end of his shows. He was very kind and supportive to me.” An eight year intimate relationship with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s father, for- mer Prime Minister, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, appealed to Boyd’s sense of intrigue and adventure. It was a relationship that pro- vided the pair with solace, playful times and laughter. Boyd also has a 30-year pen pal relationship with Prince Phillip, (who personally types his letters to Boyd on a typewriter), and for whom she wrote the song, Love of the Horse. “ ere are not many people who can say that they have a pen pal relationship with the Queen’s husband,” Boyd says. “He is such a kind hearted person with a great sense of humour.” After playing for the Roy- als at Windsor Castle last year, Boyd experi- enced a ‘pinch me moment’ as the Queen’s page served her tea. Boyd’s musical journey, however, has not always been dusted with magical ex- periences. In 2002, she was diagnosed with Musician’s Focal Dystonia, a condition triggered by repetition and overplaying an instrument. Some of Boyd’s intricate gui- tar pieces were a ected because the align- ment of her ngers was compromised. Not a depressive person, Boyd, who inspired a whole generation of guitarists, was devas- tated, and in fact quit performing for a pe- riod of time. Added to the stress of the situation Boyd’s then-husband, John B. (Jack) Simon, thought she should quit music altogether. It was a deal breaker for Boyd, whose music is her raison d’etre and for which she has sacri ced a lot, including her marriage to Jack. “Jack was considered to be the catch of Beverley Hills,” Boyd says. “We adored each other. It is only when he wanted me to quit the guitar, (and take up painting), that I decided to leave. But I don’t have any re- grets; I have led such an interesting life, and See LIONA page 21 Liona Boyd in 1998 for the cover of her fi rst autobioography, In My Own Key. 21 | New s A d v e r t i s e r | We d n e s d a y , A p r i l 4 , 2 0 1 8 dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss 1, but most do not seek treatmentrightaway.Infact,theaveragepersonwith hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help 2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence onthetreatmentprocess.

Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigatingfactorsthatcaninfluencebetterhearing.

In her 50’s Boyd tackled another signi - cant hurdle, one that both thrilled and af- rmed her childhood dreams. Against all odds, (she was asked to leave the choir when she was 8), Boyd began singing at her performances, her crisp, crystal voice refut- ing the advice that Ozzie Osbourne’s vocal coach gave her, which essentially was, ‘not to sing.’ 2017 was another challenging year for Boyd, one that brought her personal mor- tality front and centre. Boyd slipped on a piece of cardboard in her garage and crashed down hard. Alone and screaming for help, Boyd noticed two spiked pieces of bone sticking out of her knee cap and a concave hollow where her shoulder should be. “ at was the moment I sensed my own mortality; in seconds my whole life changed,” Boyd says. Flown by private jet to Toronto’s St. Mi- chael’s Hospital, Boyd was operated on and then transported to Bridgepoint Health Centre. Recovery included bouts of depres- sion, insomnia and loneliness, but after a few weeks, Boyd picked up her guitar and nished the Lightfoot song, a tribute to her early mentor. (And one that Toronto’s iconic Ronnie ( e Hawk) Hawkins sings chorus on). While acknowledging the limitations around aging, Boyd does not su er naysay- ers. In 2012, when she was in her early 60’s, Boyd advised her agency that she wanted to perform at selected folk festivals. “I was told, ‘Let’s face it Liona, you’re too old for that.’ I went out myself and con rmed two folk festivals within a week,” Boyd says. Candid about her sometime loneliness, Boyd captures her feelings in her song Liv- ing My Life Alone: Who would have thought that by this time I’d be living my life alone After all the romances and courtships and dances I’d still have no love of my own A global orphan, Boyd spends her win- ters in Palm Beach, Florida and summers in Toronto. “I thought Florida was where old people went to retire,” Boyd says with a laugh. “Now I have a hard time tting ev- erything in.” Diet and exercise are important to Boyd, who is the same weight as she was in the 1960s. A vegetarian/pescetarian, she buys organic, practices yoga, bikes, and re- ceives healing vibrations. Spending quality time with girlfriends, (Oliva Newton-John amongst them) is also highly important to Boyd. “You’ve got to make your own path,” Boyd says. “Find something that you love but be open to new possibilities. Take risks. I al- most didn’t take up the guitar as I wanted to be a writer. Now I am glad because I got to do both.” An author of two autobiographies, No Remedy for Love, (2017) and In My Own Key, (1998, both from Dundurn Press), Boyd is currently looking for a children’s publisher and illustrator for her book, e Cat Who Played Guitar. In the meantime, Boyd is fervently hop- ing the CBC will do another special with her. “ ey have all this archival footage; it would be wonderful if they would capture me while I’m still performing, before I be- come an old lady.” – Boyd will be making one Toronto ap- pearance and that’s at the TD Toronto Jazz Festival,on Saturday, June 23, 8 p.m. at Church of the Redeemer (with guests Jack Grunsky and Voices Rock Canada). e concert is a tribute to Yorkville in the ‘60s and will have a unique folk-inspired program.

She recently wrapped up her latest ad- dition to a very proli c career as the lead character in Finding Your Feet, due to be released in theatres April 13. Finding Your Feet tells the story of Surrey housewife Sandra, who is about to embark on retirement life with her husband (John Sessions) only to have her plans dashed when she discovers that he has been hav- ing an a air with her best friend (Josie Lawrence) for the past ve years. Humili- ated, she leaves their swanky home, in u- ential friends and all that is familiar to her, to move in with her estranged, free-spirited sister Bif (Celia Imrie) who lives in a cha- otic, London at, on the less-than modest side of town. e stodgy and snobby San- dra is nothing like her bohemian, laissez faire older sister Bif (short for Elizabeth). As the story unfolds the newly reunited sisters realize they may have little in com- mon but each has plenty to learn from and about the other. “It’s a slow melt with this poor woman,” describes Staunton who says she shares few traits and experiences with her char- acter Sandra. is has long been the allure of acting life for Staunton. “I love playing people not like me.” Her 41-year career acting in theatre, television, lm, radio and more certainly attests to this a nity for stepping outside herself. In lm she has played the title character in Vera Drake (2004), Dolores Jane Umbridge in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010) and He na Headon in Pride (2014). Last year, she also wrapped up playing one of the leads in the London revival of the Stephen Sondheim musical Follies and Martha in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? to name but a few of her roles. Staunton is pleased with the way the au- dience received Finding Your Feet during a recent viewing she attended, however she doesn’t typically enjoy the experience. “It’s di cult to watch myself on the big screen. It’s why I do theatre so much because you can’t see your performance played back at you and the audience doesn’t get a xed version of your character. On stage your character changes every night.” And while Staunton says “actors don’t retire” at age 62 she is hoping to slow down, if at least a little bit. Which is where there may be some common ground after all with her Finding Your Feet character San- dra. One of the threads that runs throughout the movie is the theme of embracing ad- venture, at any age, and (re)building rela- tionships to ensure one’s second act in life is a happy, ful lling one. “It’s not awful being old,” said Staunton. “Sure, things happen that aren’t great but it’s how you deal with them that makes all Finding Your Feet Star stepping into new role at 62 See FINDING page 23 Imelda Staunton and Timothy Spall as Sandra and Charlie in Finding Your Feet.

I reminded you that an individual needs to be deemed incompetent in order for a power of attorney to come into effect. I think it is worth expand- ing on that topic. When someone is entrusted with the responsibility of acting as power of attorney (POA) for a loved one who has been deemed incapable of making decisions, there is an obligation to ensure that records are kept to show how money has been spent. There must be transparency in your management of the individual’s finances. Make sure you get and keep receipts for all transactions. Keep a bind- er with all records in it including bank state- ments, bills you have paid and receipts for any money spent. If someone questions your ability to manage the affairs of your loved one, you need to be able to prove that everything has been done with honesty and integrity and in the best interest of the person who entrust- ed you with this task. Unfortunately, I have seen families who have experienced major power struggles over the care and finances of an aging relative who could no longer make decisions. Acting as primary caregiver for someone is a stressful enough role. When there are family dynam- ics that create accusations about how money was spent, it can be devastating. If you know of someone whose affairs are being managed by someone you suspect is not acting in good faith, there are things you can do. If you suspect that money is being taken from the individual’s bank account and not being used in his/her best interest, you can contact their branch. Ask to speak with the branch manager and alert them to the possibility that there may be some mis- use of funds. Of course, the branch manager will not be able to give you any information but he/she can take information from you. If they look into things and feel there is cause for concern, they will forward it onto their security department for investigation. Ulti- mately, they can freeze the account and make a referral to the Public Guardian and Trust- ee (PGT) and/or police for further investiga- tion. You can also contact the PGT yourself to request an investigation. They can be reached through their website at: https://www.attor- neygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca/english/family/ pgt/contact.php. The PGT can take over man- agement of a person’s affairs if they find that the person who held power of attorney mis- handled things and there is no other quali- fied individual willing or able to take on the responsibility. I would like to believe that everyone act- ing as caregiver conducts themselves with the utmost propriety. However, I have seen good people make bad decisions. You need to know what to do if that happens. — Anne Murphy is the seniors’ columnist for Forever Young. She can be reached at anne. avibrantlifemagazine@gmail.com.

During a ash mob scene, in which Staunton and company put their best foot forward on the streets of London — “which took a lot of practice and wasn’t easy to do” — the ensemble wears T-shirts embla- zoned with the Age UK logo, a charity dedi- cated to providing companionship, advice and support to more than seven million older adults. According to Age UK there are 1.2 million chronically lonely older people in England, and many more across the rest of the UK. Statistics Canada reportedin 2016 that as many as 1.4 million elderly Canadians feel lonely. Over the past year, Staunton has man- aged to nd a perfect balance between career and family. e short ve-minute commutes to work over the past year have helped. “I love that I can do a job like this and still live an ordinary life,” she added. It has allowed her more time at home with her husband of 35 years, Jim Carter (who played Carson in Downton Abbey), their 25-year-old daughter Bessie and dog Molly. at’s not to say however, that Staunton has any complaints about the “heavenly” Finding Your Feet scenes that required a trip to Rome. Even the parts of the story that had Staunton jumping into a “very cold” lake were worth the lengthier com- mute. “I loved it!” At the time of this interview Staunton’s new “unscheduled life” was only ve weeks running. She’s discovering this slower pace takes some getting used to. “I need to ‘empty out’ rst before I can take on anything else,” she stressed. e intensity of studying scripts, reading music scores and practicing dance routines has swallowed all of her time for the past seven years. “Now I just need to let what’s left of my brain enjoy the downtime.” Long walks with her dog Molly, baking soda bread and reading for pleasure are hobbies in the making. Pastimes such as Sudoku, crosswords and an attempt at em- broidery are on the fringes. “What’s next is me, my family and travel. ey’ve been a longtime coming.” Howev- er, she said, should a lm come along that would allow her to work days and have weekends o , she’d do that too.
