DURHAM - With one suspect now in custody, po- lice are focused on locating a second person of interest in the killing of a young man whose body was found near a Pickering high school in late January. "There's another person out there," Durham homi- cide Det. Rob Moore said Tuesday, the day after po- lice announced the arrest of Kyeree Reynolds in con- nection with the death of Nicholas Samaroo. Samaroo, 24, of Picker- ing, was found in a wooded area near Pine Ridge Sec- ondary School Jan. 25. His body showed obvious signs of trauma, police said at the time. Samaroo's body was found by a woman walking a dog on a trail. The homi- cide was the first in Dur- ham Region in 2019. Reynolds, 20, of Rose- field Road in Pickering turned himself in at a po- lice station Sunday, March 3, and was charged with first-degree murder. While police have not established a connection between Reynolds and Sa- maroo, they are hopeful the arrest of a second sus- pect will provide more an- swers, Moore said. He said Tuesday he's hopeful that development will occur soon. "We're working toward identifying and locating the other person," Moore said. Anyone with informa- tion is asked to call Moore at 905-579-1520, extension 5326 or Crime Stoppers at 1- 800-222-8477.

The budget, to be sub- mitted to Durham region- al council for approval, represents a 3.87 per cent increase over last year's request. An original bud- get request of more than $209 million was pared down at the direction of the regional government, services board members heard Thursday, Feb. 28. The inclusion of fund- ing for 26 new cops is a re- sponse to rising demands for service in a rapidly growing region, Chief Paul Martin said. "The thing we've heard most of all is about visibil- ity," Martin said, adding residents have expressed concern about "quality of life" issues like speeding and neighbourhood secu- rity. "Violent crime does make the headlines, but it is those quality of life calls we hear more and more about," Martin said. "We're trying to address that." The service's autho- rized strength has not in- creased substantially since 2011, the budget notes. The budgetary measures endorsed by the services board adds 20 frontline officers, five in- vestigative positions in the human trafficking unit and a staff sergeant dedicated to the service's continuous improvement unit. The funding for new of- f icers increases the ser- vice's authorized strength from 878 to 904. The budget also pro- vides funding for the equivalent of 368 full-time civilian employees, with some new hires designat- ed for the communica- tions and 911 department. The police budget goes to regional council for consideration March 27.

The girl was forced to take drugs and perform sexual acts during an or- deal that began Feb. 7 when she got into a fight with her family and called an acquaintance to come and pick her up, Durham police said. The girl was driven to the home of an- other acquaintance where the abuse occurred, police said. The victim was eventu- ally able to call a friend, who picked her up. Police were called and the hu- man trafficking unit launched an investigation. On Feb. 28 officers exe- cuted a search warrant at a residence in the Courtice Road - Highway 2 area. Three people were arrest- ed and drugs including co- caine and benzodiaze- pines were seized, police said. Facing charges includ- ing trafficking a person under 18 and procuring a person under 18, deriving benefits from sexual ser- vices by a person under 18 and possession of drugs for the purpose of traffick- ing are Andrew Thorne, 20, of Bowmanville, Jaiden Lunau, 20, of Clarington and 25-year-old Tylor Lu- nau, also of Clarington.

Although the fact that the Ontario Civilian Po- lice Commission is looking into Durham po- lice has been widely re- ported on, few details about the substance of the complaint have been pro- vided, Coun. Kevin Ashe said during a meeting of the police services board Thursday. "We do not have a copy of the complaint," Ashe said. He called for release of more information to the board by OCPC "so we can at least be aware of what's happening." Included in the board's Feb. 28 agenda was a letter from Tribunals Ontario registrar Celia Lieu, an- nouncing a "preliminary review" into the matter. OCPC is in receipt of a complaint calling for an investigation into the con- duct of senior brass at the service, as well as the po- lice services board's abili- ty to provide proper over- sight, the letter said. "Based upon the infor- mation provided, the Commission has begun a preliminary review to de- termine which senior offi- cers and board members, if any, should be subject to a (Police Services Act) in- vestigation into their indi- vidual conduct and/or performance of duties," Lieu's letter states. It also says the review will consider whether an investigation ought to be conducted into the admin- istration of the service and "any potential system- ic issues." "Once the review is completed the commis- sion will determine if a formal investigation is warranted," the letter states. The Toronto Star re- ported Feb. 22 that "multi- ple" current and former employees of the service have filed complaints about the conduct of se- nior officers. During Thursday's meeting, Chief Paul Mar- tin declined to comment on the issue, saying he prefers to let OCPC "get to the bottom of it." DURHAM POLICE SERVICES BOARD CHAIR CALLS FOR DISCLOSURE OF COMPLAINT AGAINST SENIOR OFFICERS JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durham region.com NEWS PICKERING - A Pick- ering man is facing nu- merous charges follow- ing a police pursuit from Oshawa to Scarborough early Friday morning. Durham Regional Po- lice attempted to stop a motorist in the Harmony and Olive roads area of Oshawa on Friday, March 1 at about 12:30 a.m. Police report officers saw a vehicle weaving in and out of lanes. The driver didn't stop for po- lice and fled onto Hwy. 401 at a high rate of speed. Officers called off their pursuit due to safety con- cerns, but Air1 continued to follow the vehicle into Scarborough. The driver fled on foot near Jeffton Court and left with vehicle with two occupants. Air1 found the suspect hiding from officers and he was ar- rested. The two passen- gers were released un- conditionally. Johvan Waldron, 24 of Pickering, has been charged with possession of schedule 1 for the pur- pose of trafficking (co- caine), flight from police, dangerous operation of a conveyance, fail to com- ply with a recognizance, racing a motor vehicle fail to comply with a pro- bation order and driving while under suspension.

GetyourfreespecialreportNOW AJAX/PICKRING - 63 years in business & 40,000+ projects AJAX - A symposium in March will raise awareness of youths about Indigenous culture and the Truth and Reconciliation Commis- sion. The Youth Navigate the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action Symposium will be held on Wednesday, March 20, and it's a partner- ship between Ajax and the United Nations Association of Canada (UNAC). At a news conference at J. Clarke Richardson Colle- giate announcing the sym- posium, Mayor Shaun Col- lier noted that 2019 has been named the International Year of Indigenous Lan- guages by the United Na- tions. "Our partnership with the United Nations Associa- tion of Canada is the first of its kind in the Region, and it's another example of the Town's commitment to be- ing a leader in equity," Col- lier said. About 400 students are expected at the Ajax event and others being held across Canada on the same day - students from Ajax High School, J. Clarke Rich- ardson Collegiate, Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, Durham College and the University of Onta- rio Institute of Technology will be participating. They'll review the 94 rec- ommendations that came out of the Truth and Recon- ciliation Commission, along with the 46 articles in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peo- ples. "Youth play a crucial role in understanding what these recommendations mean," Collier said. "It's an opportunity for our commu- nity to learn, heal and rec- oncile with Canada's dark- est period of history: resi- dential schools." Two speakers will also be there, including a residen- tial school survivor; both speeches will be live- streamed and posted on the town's YouTube channel. "It's an opportunity for our community to speak openly and honestly about some of the most pressing is- sues facing Canada's Indige- nous communities," Collier said. Sarah Kambites, of the UNAC, said that the sympo- sium is a chance to "engage Canadians from coast to coast to coast and talk about global issues." It's also "bringing a voice to youth," she added. Celeste Lessard-Kragen, also with the UNAC, said that the symposium "will raise awareness among Ca- nadian youth about the Truth and Reconciliation action plan and the UN Dec- laration on Indigenous rights. By participating, the youth won't only learn about our diverse history, but they can critically re- flect on the role they play as active citizens." She said that it would be a "day of learning, sharing and taking action. Youths can share their voice in a safe, supportive environ- ment. "The symposium is a chance for Canadian youth to showcase the knowledge they've gained and to pledge their commitment to build- ing a more inclusive com- munity. I can't wait to see what the youths bring to the table," Lessard-Kragen said. Kambites said, "Let us be excited about the youth of Canada and what they bring to our shared heritage." Jeffrey Maharaj, the principal of J. Clarke, said that truth and reconcilia- tion "falls in line with the work of the Durham District School Board. The focus is to build student capacity for intercultural understand- ing and mutual respect." The school offers several Indigenous-related courses designed to "increase their understanding of their cul- ture and tremendous contri- butions," Maharaj said. "It's fantastic that our students will have the op- portunity to expand their learning at the upcoming symposium," he added. "The fact it's happening here in Ajax is quite out- standing." Eleanor McIntosh, the principal at Ajax High, said that the school has "been on a journey of relationship building" with the Indige- nous community. "How we live together and work together to better our understanding of those who came before us," she said. Jessica Shafer is one of the organizers of the sympo- sium. "We have a responsibility to make Indigenous and non-Indigenous ways of life relevant to all people," she said. "We have to practice re- lationship-building in the context of our daily lives and community." Carol Ducharme, an In- digenous programming spe- cialist at UOIT, said that the symposium isn't just impor- tant for Indigenous and Mé- tis people. "Non-Indigenous (peo- ple) can learn about Indige- nous culture and that brings awareness, it brings understanding," Ducharme said. The symposium is "an exceptional opportunity to learn. It's an example of what true reconciliation looks like to me," she added. "Having today's youth learn at the symposium warms my heart and fuels my hope. At the end of the day, I hope youth will be engaged to learn more, to be actively engaged in reconciliation and calls to action. The cur- rent youth will be our future leaders." The symposium is being held at the Deer Creek Golf and Banquet Facility. For more information, visit www.ajax.ca.

From her kinky, curly hair to her dark brown, chocolate skin - she hates it all. Or at least, she does at the begin- ning of There's Magic in my Mela- nin, a children's book written by lo- cal student Kiera Salmon. "I used my own life experiences for the story," says Salmon, 17, a Grade 12 student at Pickering High School. Salmon, who is black, says it took time and encouragement from family members to learn to love her appearance and embrace her identity. In the book, Nayla's grandmother comes to visit from Jamaica and teaches her that she is beautiful just as she is. "Your melanin is what lights up the room when you walk in. It makes you stand out in a crowd. It absorbs the sunlight in a unique way. It turns heads when you walk by. Your skin is magical!" reads an excerpt. Salmon penned the book as part of an assignment for her black studies class. This year, the Dur- ham District School Board quadru- pled its offerings of black studies, from three sections last year to 12. The Grade 12 course focuses on Canadian content and covers top- ics such as: race, identity and what it means to be a black person, an- cient Africa, slavery, and the black Canadian experience. Salmon says it took about two weeks to write There's Magic in my Melanin, which was then illustrat- ed by her older sister Jaida, 22, an animation student at Sheridan College. The dedication reads "to all my little brown-skin girls. You are beautiful." Salmon has been reading her book to local elementary students, including Grade 3 and 8 students at Vimy Ridge Public School, her for- mer school. "They really enjoyed it," she says. "They started to open up about their own experiences." Nyla John, who teaches the black studies course at Pickering High School, says the book's mes- sage is one that can resonate with anyone. "You don't have to be black. The message is simple and clear, if you have something that doesn't look like the norm, the feeling isn't 'I have to live with this,' it's 'this is what makes me beautiful, it's what makes me stand out, and it's what makes me 'me.'" After high school, Salmon plans to study sociology at university and is mulling over a few career paths. And, she hasn't ruled out writ- ing more books. She also hopes to publish There's Magic in my Melanin - "that would be amazing," she says.

Pictured at left, Pickering Deputy Mayor, Kevin Ashe, middle, along with various dignitaries, prepares to cut the ribbon to officially open the store. Store Manager, Jesse Grimes, fourth from the right, commented during the opening ceremonies; “Food Basics is much more than just your neighbourhood grocer. We are an employment hub, bringing over 80 new jobs to the community, and a reliable source for fresh, always in-stock, healthy food at great prices, so Pickering customers don’t have to compromise.” To emphasize its commitment to playing an active role in the communities in which it operates, Food Basics presented a cheque at the ribbon-cutting ceremony to the St Paul’s on-the-Hill Community Food Bank, to help fight food insecurity in the region. Advertisement PICKERING - Two base- ball diamonds in Pickering will be upgraded this year, after an ice storm in April 2018 led to the collapse of backstops. Funds for new back- stops at Brock Ridge Com- munity Park, at Finch and Brock roads - and at S.M. Woodsmere Park, near Ro- sebank Road and Woodsm- ere Crescent - have been ap- proved by city council. Kirkey Field at Brock Ridge Community Park, the home field of the Picker- ing Baseball Association, will also see new player benches - new bleachers with concrete pads, re- placement of a chain link on the wing and outfield fences, and new asphalt paving around the back- stop. Both projects have been rolled into one for the pur- poses of financing, and the work has been awarded to Anthony Furlano Con- struction Inc., which sub- mitted the lowest tender bid out of four companies, in the amount of $969,571.07; contingency funding has been built in, in case poor soil conditions are encoun- tered, and the total net pro- ject cost to the City after an HST rebate is set at $1,005,418. According to a report by Director of Community Services Marisa Carpino, the baseball backstops at the parks had a "cata- strophic collapse" after an ice storm on April 14 and 15 of last year. The Kirkey Field diamond and back- stop was constructed in 1986, and years later the backstop poles were ex- tended, with additional net- ting installed above the fence to stop foul balls. The extra loading on the fenc- ing poles led to the eventual failure of the posts and col- lapse of the backstop, she said. The baseball diamond at S.M. Woodsmere Park, built in 1997, also had its backstop poles extended - leading to the same prob- lem. The collapse of the back- stops took two of three full- sized baseball diamonds in Pickering out of use and made it difficult to get all teams on the field, says John Smeelen, president of the Pickering Baseball As- sociation. The situation led to the "over-use" of the Don Beer Park field at Brock Rd. and Hwy. 7, and prompted the association to rent fields in Ajax, he said. "Hopefully it's sooner rather than later," he said of the impending upgrades to the Pickering fields, noting scheduling for the upcom- ing season will begin in March. The new backstops will be taller and structur- ally engineered to with- stand wind and ice.Funds for the project were includ- ed in the City's 2019 capital budget, with $919,000 to be debentured. Property taxes will fund $1,418 of the cost, and $85,000 will be taken from reserve accounts PICKERING BASEBALL DIAMONDS TO BE UPGRADED JUDI BOBBITT judibobbitt@gmail.com COUNCIL PICKERING - Warm spring and summer weather is on its way, and planning has begun for seasonal festivals and spe- cial events in Pickering this year.

As I confessed in my f irst column, I knew nothing about airports, at Pickering or else- where, so that I decided to read books before l aunching the inter- views. The first, Paper Jug- gernaut: Big Government Gone Mad, was by Walter Stewart, a well-respected journalist. It is an assig- nation of Transport Cana- da ministers and officials from the Lester Pearson- Pierre Trudeau Liberal eras (1960s and 1970s) when the 16,000 acres were expropriated. Jam- packed with names, dates, quotations, facts, it paints a couldn't-be-worse pic- ture of bureaucratic bun- gling, resulting in many ruined lives, some persist- ing to this day. It's so bad, I found it difficult to believe. Yet, it's undoubtedly true. How can that be? As someone who spent my entire adult life liais- ing closely with ministers and government officials, I can tell you that I found most to be extremely hard-working, well-mean- ing and smart. Most, but not all. Ap- parently, Transport Can- ada was under-lucky a half-century ago. Today, those people are either around 100 or dead so that naming names is point- less. What matters is that those "sins" not be repeat- ed and I remind readers that the current minister is astronaut Dr. Marc Garneau, one of the smar- test Canadians alive and a self-evident flight expert, so that we can presum- ably have faith that the f ile is well understood. The second book, all 883 pages, was Airport Systems: Planning, De- sign and Management by Dr. Richard de Neufville, MIT professor and argu- ably the world's greatest expert on airports. I also interviewed Dr. de Neuf- ville and found him as pleasant and forthcoming as he was erudite. I'll say more about that inter- view in a subsequent col- umn. Of course, I read plenty more including documen- tation provided by Trans- port Canada. Plus, I tried my best to ready myself for the task such as tour- ing the site, getting briefed by Transport Can- ada officials, and having breakfast in the Clare- mont Cafe where I'd ask patrons their views (thank you, Janice, for the great service and the $1.75 fried egg sandwiches). After several weeks of prep, I felt I was as ready as I'd ever be for the inter- views which were already being scheduled. It was time to hit the road - or runway. The next column or two (or more) will focus on the 64 interviews, the heart of my report. I'll then conclude with recommendations, some of which may please some readers while others may please no one. -Dr. Gary Polonsky is UOIT's founder and Dur- ham College's longest- serving president. He is a recent graduate of Har- vard Law School's media- tion program and may be reached at gary@for- wardslashmediation.com. PREP TIME SHEDS LIGHT ON THEPICKERING AIRPORT QUESTION OPINION DR. GARY POLONSKY DID A LOT OF READING BEFORE WRITING HIS REPORT ON THE PICKERING DEVELOPMENT LANDS GARY POLONSKY Column DURHAM - A suspect was arrested on charges in- cluding impaired driving af- ter crashing a stolen car while fleeing from Durham police Monday night. The incident began around 7 p.m., Feb. 18 with a report of a suspected im- paired driver on Courtice Road north of Highway 401. Officers attempted to pull the suspect BMW over but the driver refused to stop, police said. The suspect continued on to Farewell Road in Osha- wa but lost control of the car while trying to get onto the 401, police said. A suspect fled on foot but was appre- hended. Shawn Moriarity, 40, of no fixed address was arrest- ed on a number of charges, including driving while im- paired by alcohol and drugs, possession of stolen proper- ty, dangerous driving and flight from police.

Luckily, all it takes is a second cup of coffee to regain your focus and make small miracles happen. ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20) After a period of intense stress, it’s important to step back and relax. Take some time to rejuvenate and make a fresh start. TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21) You’ll work overtime this week. Luckily, you’ll also have some time off to have fun with your loved ones, who’ll invite you to join their activities. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Whether it’s a big vacation or a short romantic getaway, you’ll have your head in the clouds planning your next trip. You’ll even consider going abroad for an adventure. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Some changes are necessary and with good reason. Cleaning up your circle of friends will relieve some stress and allow you to be happier in your life.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22) If you invite loved ones into your home, don’t expect them to offer help. They may even want to be waited on. Luckily, you have lots of fun doing it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21) You’ll come across people who are all talk, no action. Don’t be fooled by those who don’t know what they’re talking about. Follow your instincts; they won’t lead you astray. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) You probably appreciate the stability and fi nancial independence that your job brings you. Your salary gives you the opportunity to travel and go on adventures. AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 18) You’ll be full of ideas and initiatives. It’s possible that your habit of changing plans depending on your mood could irritate the people around you. THIS WEEK’S ANSWERS You can do More... at The UPS Store® Our GIFT to YOU !

Pickering Town Centre www.kleinfootcare.ca Twenty-five years after last playing Olivia Novak, Cynthia Dale is back on the Street.The Toronto-born actress is thrilled to be front and centre on the reboot of Street Legal, premiering March 4 on CBC and CBC Gem.”I feel like the luckiest girl in Canada,” she says.The frothy law drama about a team of brash, young, storefront lawyers was a Friday night obsession in Canada from 1987 to 1994. The series was CBC’s answer to the era of steamy prime time soaps. This was back when the likes of Joan Collins and Victoria Principal were swaddled in big hair and shoulder pads on American network hits such as Dynasty and Dallas. (In fact, Dallas followed Street Legal Friday nights on CBC.) Back before Twitter and Face-book, these shows were viral sensa-tions – around the watercooler.Street Legal, however, was not an instant hit. The series focused at first on bickering law partners Carrie Barr (Sonja Smits), “Chuck” Tchobanian (C. David Johnson) and Leon Robinovitch (Eric Peterson). It needed a vixen with plenty of moxie to stir things up in the office. Enter Dale to kick off Season 2. The series lasted for eight seasons, and was the longest-running Canadian drama until Heartland and Murdoch Mysteries surpassed its run a couple of seasons ago.“I was in New York doing a show off-Broadway when I auditioned for Street Legal,” Dales says on the phone from the Stratford, Ont., home she shares with her retired CBC news anchor hus-band, Peter Mansbridge. “I got the job and they said cut your hair and lose 10 pounds.”At the time, Dale was in her 20s and had already enjoyed a long showbiz career.

If you are, you might be tempted to run out and spend the money receive. But there are other uses for your mini-windfall. Here are a few suggestions. Invest in an RRSP. Use your refund to get an early start on this year’s contribution. Make up for missed RRSP contributions in the past.You’ll boost retirement savings and create a larger tax deduction this year or in future years. Pay off high-interest debt. Pay down credit card balances, personal loans or other expensive debt. Pay down your RRSP loan. If you borrowed money to make last years contribution, pay down the loan. Pay down the mortgage. Every dollar you put toward your mortgage is a dollar on which you won’t pay interest for the next 5, 10 or even 25 years. Contribute to an RESP. Put money into a Registered Education Savings Plan for you children or grandchildren. Of course, it won’t hurt to spend a little of your refund on yourself. Everybody needs to have some financial fun but try to limit it to 10% to 20%. Edward Jones, Member Canadian Investor Protection Fund changing them. Olivia’s earned them and I want all those lines that are on her face. It’s her body and her heart.”Dale says she was eager to play a woman who goes through life now, “having people say to her ‘Your best days are behind you,’ which she gets told in the pilot.” Not that Olivia Novak is any less flinty and ambitious than she was before. “We made a decision to keep her edgy and not play things so that the audi-ence will like her,” says Dale, also a producer on the new series. She still remembers getting called to task by strangers in supermarkets for all the horrible things she did to Chuck on the original show, “which was great,” she says. “It meant it was working.”Finding that edge was easy, says Dale, who says Olivia “was in my DNA. It was like driving a stick shift and hit-ting another gear.” The new show is much darker, less soapy than the orig-inal. Dale credits veteran showrun-ners Bruce M. Smith (19-2) and Ber-nie Zukerman (Remedy) for keeping things real. “There’s an honesty,” says Dale, especially in scenes set at three in the morning where Olivia wakes up and “doesn’t have any makeup on, because you wouldn’t.” Helping keep things familiar is the addition of a few other cast regulars from the original series. Eric Peter-son -- busy these days voicing cranky dad Oscar on Corner Gas: Animated -- pops into a few episodes as Leon Robinovitch. “I missed Leon, I missed those char-acters,” says Dale. “When Eric came back on the set to shoot Legal this time, I was a mess. I’ve heard Eric’s voice a million times in the last 30 years, but Olivia hearing Leon’s voice again was amazing to me.”Missing is C. David Johnson, who played Chuck. Dale worked with John-son at Stratford during her years on the Shakespearean stages. He’s busy playing another lawyer in the new CBC series Diggstown, also premier-ing this month. One other original Street Legal alum-ni, Anthony Sherwood (who played Dillon Beck), makes a guest appear-ance on the new series.Dale would be happy to have the whole gang back, but she’s energized by the new kids too. After all, she first joined this series in her 20s; she was once in their shoes.“They’re so talented,” says Dale, who was in on the casting. “It’s fantastic to watch the open ves-sel that they are as they grew over the six episodes. All of them stepped up.”“I told them, when the next reboot comes, and I’m coming in on my walk-er, just remember way back when we worked together on this.” 1. d, 2. a, 3. c, 4. c, 5.

As children, our parents are, hopefully, good role models of responsibility and nurturing. They make the decisions and we abide by them. As we grow, we are excited to spread our wings and take on new freedoms that were not appro-priate for us as children. As a parent, I real-ize that as children grow and are ready for age appropriate freedom and new levels of responsibility, it requires me to let go of the control and the hovering I used to do. I must trust that I have raised my children well and that they will make good decisions for them-selves. This, however, does not stop me from worrying. Letting go of control is something that happens several times throughout our lives. It is uncomfortable but it is necessary. We have to let go and encourage our children to �ly. As we age and the body begins to decline, we begin to need help ourselves. Where we were once strong, independent people who were totally in control of our lives and our environments, in our senior years we be-come more fragile and at some point, we will have no choice but to ask for and accept help. As we care for our seniors, it is easy to lose patience and to feel burdened by their needs but I would ask you to consider what it must feel like to have lived in your own home for 50 or more years, to have raised a family, had a career, been the person who took care of everyone else and to suddenly �ind yourself having, through no choice of your own, to de-pend on the people you love to now take care of you. Spend a moment picturing yourself in their place. How well would you cope with having to use a walker or having to ask some-one to drive you everywhere you wanted to go? How well would you cope with losing your vision or your hearing and having to try to participate in a conversation despite the fact that you can’t really hear what is being said? How well would you cope with arthritis that causes you to lose your mobility, sit in a wheel chair and no longer be able to open a jar because the pain is too great? How well would you cope with having to have some-one help you to the toilet or shower you? I suspect not very well and yet the majority of the seniors I work with still smile and their lights shine brightly. Let us all take more time and show more patience with our seniors. — Anne Murphy is the seniors’ columnist for Forever Young. She can be reached at anne. avibrantlifemagazine@gmail.com.
