Fifty of the country's newest citizens made Canada Day memo- rable by taking their oath of citi- zenship at Pickering City Hall Monday morning. It was the final step in their journey to officially becoming citizens, and their first opportunity to sing the national anthem as Canadians. "Today is not about Canada ac- cepting you as citizens. It's about you choosing Canada, and you bringing your skills and talents to make Canada a better place," pre- siding official Dr. David Gold- bloom told the group of men, women and children, who repeat- ed the oath in both English and French.

Jeff Has- kins of West Division. The hour-long ceremony included a piper, photo- graphs and lots of smiles. Citizenship ceremonies were taking place on Cana- da Day across the country, said O'Connell. "Your happiness re- minds all Canadians how fortunate we are to live where we do," she said. "Your sense of achievement is a resounding affirmation of the pride expressed from coast to coast to coast to- day." No two stories are exact- ly alike, although everyone at the ceremony shares the same ambition to become Canadian, she said. "Your success today is good news for Canada. New Canadians strengthen our country in many ways. You bring your ideas, your expe- riences, your talents, your culture and your passion. We welcome everything you have to offer ... thank you for choosing Canada as your new home. Diversity contributes to a better qual- ity of life for all Canadians. In that sense, your citizen- ship is a gift to Canada, as much as it is to you." Bethlenfalvy told the group his parents are refu- gees from Hungary. "The choices you make as citizens of Canada really matter ... please get in- volved, because your con- tributions will continue to make this the greatest country and lead us down the path of prosperity, di- versity and a welcomeness to all people around the globe. We are a beacon of hope around the globe." He noted some new Ca- nadians have learned a new language, and some have travelled great distance. "All of you have worked hard, to get to this point in your journey." Ryan said he was the son of immigrants who came to Canada between the two World Wars. "Congratulations on making a very important step in your lives," he said. "You've come to a good place." Following the ceremony, the new Canadians enjoyed refreshments in the lobby, posed for photographs and were offered celebratory mementos at a table of Can- ada Day themed cowboy hats, scarves, ball caps and flags. Dina Shaheen and her daughter Ramage Zahi of Egypt were among the new- ly minted citizens enjoying the occasion. "It is very nice," said Sha- heen, as the two women smiled happily for a photo- graph. Guests were invited by Ryan to join a procession to the gazebo in Esplanade Park, to kick off an after- noon of Canada Day festiv- ities.

The annual in- dustry awards, presented during a black-tie ceremony at the Sher- aton Parkway North Toronto Ho- tel in May, saw Price win in her category, over nine other nomi- nees in the GTA. Her Pickering studio has been open at 720 Shep- pard Ave. since 2017, and she's been a makeup artist since 2006. Q:What's the No. 1 goal you have when doing a client's make- up? A:To make them look the best version of themselves. I want to make them feel beautiful and in- crease their confidence. Q:Why does makeup have that effect on people? A:When we look our best, we feel better about ourselves. When we're looking our best for that occasion or event, we enjoy ourselves more. What we do here is enhance a client's natural beauty and their features. If you put thought into your makeup and hair, it has a direct impact on how you feel. Q:Is there a common concern you see with your clients? A: We have a variety of clients -we do Grade 8 graduations, we see entrepreneurs, lots of brides, and we do prom. Specific con- cerns are very individual. Every- one can agree they'd like fresh, glowing skin, no matter their age. Q:Do you have any tips for fresh, glowing skin? A:Drinks lots of water and use a nice moisturizer for your skin type. Mix a liquid illumina- tor into a liquid foundation to create a soft, dewy look to the skin. Q: What are the current trends in makeup? A:Very defined, sculpted eye- brows. Highlighting and con- touring on the skin creates a three-dimensional face; it sculpts out the facial features. Long lashes are trending, and colours of peaches, golds, rose gold and earthy tones. You just have to find the right shade. Q: Do you see common pitfalls women fall into with their make- up? A: People get stuck doing the same thing over and over. They don't change their technique or style. It can tend to date people. You can see a generation of peo- ple wearing blue eyeshadow, and that's not popular right now. We do makeup classes here. Q:What do you cover in the classes? A:They're personalized clas- ses. We consult with the client and see what their current make- up regime is, and review the products and tools in their make- up bag. We go through an entire step-by-step application with a tutorial. I'll show them how to do their eyebrows, for example. Q:What's the most unusual oc- casion people get their makeup done for? A:Funerals. People get their makeup done to go to a funeral. I've had dance recitals, pageants, fitness competitions, photo shoots, commercials and bap- tisms. Literally, any time people are going out to see people, they want to get their makeup done. But mostly, we do bridal makeup. Q: What are you trying to achieve when doing bridal make- up? A:For most of our clients, we specialize in soft glam, which means they look flawless and pol- ished but still look like them- selves. We attract the type of cli- ents who feel the same way. My goal in doing bridal makeup is to have the bride feel beautiful and match her wedding. It also has to last 14 to 16 hours. We want the makeup to be kiss-proof, sweat- proof and tear-proof. It also has to translate properly onto the camera. Q:Can you help someone with special concerns? A:We can help someone with colour correction, to even out and neutralize discoloration on the skin. When it comes to tex- ture, makeup doesn't necessarily improve that. Airbrush is nice for creating flawless skin. Q:What is airbrush? A:We apply makeup to skin with a compressor. It's a light mist of air that pushes founda- tion through a gun. It applies sheer layers of coverage, so it looks very seamless. A lot of our clients like it. It can cover a tat- too. Q:What's the biggest challenge in doing someone's makeup? A:I've been doing makeup for so long; a lot of challenges I un- derstand how to correct. It's about setting client expectations. A lot of images they see on social media aren't natural. It's not real. There's been so much post-edit- ing done. Q: How much time should a woman spend on her makeup at home? A:Anyone can learn to do a daytime makeup in 10 to 15 min- utes. For events, we spend an hour. It costs about $100. Some- times we run promotions. Lash extensions are really popular. That's extra; that's a separate ser- vice. Q:Why do you think you won The Toronto Hair & Beauty in- dustry award? A: I put it on my vision board in the kitchen in my staff room. It was my intention to win. It was my goal. I've put so many years and my heart into my job, and I absolutely love what I do. I try to pass the energy of what I do on to the clients. They voted for me. Q:Is there anything you'd like to add? A:I'd encourage women, espe- cially young women, to view makeup not only as a tool for beauty, but it's fun. It's not about having to do it in order to feel good - it shouldn't be. It's not changing who you are. You should feel good about yourself. AWARD-WINNING PICKERING MAKEUP ARTIST SHARES BEAUTY SECRETS JUDI BOBBITT judibobbitt@gmail.com BUSINESS Pamela Price of Priceless Beauty in Pickering has been named Makeup Specialist of the Year in the Toronto Hair and Beauty Awards 2019. Christine Small photo PICKERING - Pickering will undertake a strategic plan map- ping a vision for future growth, including defining the boundar- ies between urban and rural ar- eas. Council endorsed a two-stage strategic planning process Mon- day, after receiving a proposal from Ajax-based consultant Planning Solutions Inc., which has developed strategic plans for various municipalities, includ- ing Durham Region. Stage one of the plan, which Pickering staff expect to work on during June and July, will recog- nize important projects already underway in the city, including the community of Seaton, at- tracting industry to the Innova- tion Corridor, the possibility of an airport in north Pickering, and the planned new downtown core. Stage two will look at longer- term planning, defining the city's overall vision and guiding coun- cil and staff in setting goals for the future. In response to questions from Coun. Maurice Brenner, director of corporate services and city so- licitor Paul Bigioni said staff ex- pect to have a final strategic plan before council by April of next year. Undertaking a new strategic plan was unanimously endorsed by council in April at the sugges- tion of Brenner, who said it would be exciting for the city. "It's so important we think smart, and think strategically," he said.

One way to find out is to measure your net worth.This is the value of everything you own, minus everything you owe. In other words, assets minus liabilities. Net worth provides a snapshot of your finances. If you’re in good shape, you should own considerably more than you owe, resulting in substantial net worth. If your net worth is low, or even a negative number, you have some serious work ahead. Your first step is to add the value of your assets.These include your investments, house, cottage, car, collectibles, the cash portion of life insurance and pensions, and anything else of lasting worth. Then total your debts. Include consumer and investment loans, credit card balances, lines of credit, income tax owing and any other liabilities. Finally, subtract liabilities from assets.Your snapshot is now complete. It’s a good idea to discuss your findings with your financial advisor.With professional help you can put the figure in context and use it as a tool for planning your financial future. Edward Jones, member Canadian Investor Protection Fund We weren't on the road a full day, driving to the West Coast and back earli- er in June, before I was tal- lying a mental list of mam- mals I'd seen. Unfortu- nately, ones hit by cars or trucks, and not yet scav- enged by crows, ravens, turkey vultures, or any four-legged carnivores. Raccoon, opossum, deer, coyote. Skunks, both seen and scented. Farther west, Dennis recognized the remains of a badger, and too many of the cute little ground squirrels that boldly and foolishly dash across Prairie roads. Out there it was mule deer, not white-tailed deer in danger. I was glad the an- telopes we spotted on the Great Plains didn't get on my roadkill list; too swift and clever to be taken in by death-trap roads. Coming home, north of Lake Superior, we saw a grouse that didn't make it. One flattened snake, one turtle ... I regretted all of them losing their lives to humans racing through their living space at breakneck speeds. While we didn't add to the gruesome list of siz- able animals, I greatly re- gretted casualties we caused in the insect world. In the woods of Upper Michigan, west of the Sault, we started smash- ing into everything from gnats to dragonflies. Nev- er as many as back when we were kids, but enough to have to wash the wind- shield every time we stopped for gas. I was glad to find flying insects still exist in some stretches of our pesticide-sprayed con- tinent, but hated that I was helping reduce their num- bers. Of course, we saw liv- ing ones, too. Common sulfurs, ringlets and painted ladies flitting from flower to flower. My favourite butterfly was a Melissa blue, a western species even more vividly blue than our beautiful summer azures here at home. We spent an amazing hour beside a busy Prairie dog town, watching whole families dashing from one burrow entrance to the next. We spotted three bald eagles, one perched on a rock in Puget Sound, and one soaring over Rainy River as we deeked back into Ontario, en route home. And partway between Fort Francis and Thunder Bay, I glanced up a hydro corridor through the woods and saw a momma black bear leading two darling baby cubs.

In all my days I have never witnessed this na- tion come together in such a beautiful and division- defying fashion. Let me break it down: more than 50 Jurassic Parks sprung up across the nation in the midst of Raptor fever; re- portedly 56 per cent of Ca- nadians watched game six when the championship was clinched; between one to two million attended the victory parade and almost 10 million of us watched the parade from TV or other devices. The momentum steadi- ly built and it's been some- thing to behold even for op- posing teams. When Ales- sia Cara shouted to the crowd while she sang the national anthem, "Lemme hear ya," the crowd re- sponded loud and proud. It was an unprecedented and historic victory. The Rap- tors' championship be- came ours and what a jour- ney it has been even for bandwagoners like me. Basketball was invent- ed by Canadian James Naismith from Almonte, Ont. At the time, he was an instructor at the YMCA in Springfield, MA who was just trying to think up an indoor game. Well, he did and in December 1891, the first game of "Basket Ball" was played. Fast-forward to 1946 when the Toronto Huskies were in the Bas- ketball Association of America (a precursor to the NBA). Then speed ahead to 1995, when the To- ronto Raptors and the Van- couver Grizzlies became the first two teams in the NBA outside of the U.S. That was 24 years ago. The Raptors started out in the SkyDome with a purple dinosaur for their mascot that some called Barney. But the team struggled through the initial grow- ing pains. Then on May 20, 2001 in a game seven against the Philadelphia 76ers (sound familiar?), Vince Carter, who graduat- ed earlier in the day, had a buzzer beater moment that saw the team lose by one point. What a turnaround! So excuse us if we party like it's 2019. Here's to James Naismith, past coaches and players alike who paved the way and to you, Canada. "This thing is really spe- cial because of you people," said head coach Nick Nurse. "I've never seen anything like that parade and I'm sure I never will again. I think it was Bono who said, 'the world needs more Canada.' The world just got it! Congratula- tions." Renae Jarrett lives in Durham, loves Canada and is passionate about truth in current affairs.

Always online first at DurhamRegion.com/coldcase DURHAM - The long legal and disciplinary odyssey of a Dur- ham police officer charged seven years ago with providing infor- mation to known criminals has ended in dismissal. "We all make mistakes. How- ever, this officer has crossed the line on too many occasions," hearing officer Morris Elbers said Wednesday in delivering judgment in the case of Tara Kramp. "She was known on the street as a dirty cop," Elbers said. "If Const. Kramp was to remain a member of the Durham Regional Police Service, the damage to the reputation of the service would be very high indeed." Elbers' June 26 decision brings to an end a protracted disciplin- ary process during which Kramp pleaded guilty to Police Services Act charges. The sentencing hearing, begun in 2016, spanned three years. Kramp's dismissal is immediate, Elbers, a retired OPP superintendent, indicated. An agreed statement of facts entered at the tribunal says that Kramp, a Durham police officer since 1998, engaged in contact with "several drug dealers in the Oshawa region," during which she conducted searches of the na- tional Canadian Police Informa- tion Centre (CPIC) and the Dur- ham Records Management Sys- tem, then passed along informa- tion. When Durham police busted several people suspected of drug trafficking in mid-2012, Kramp was among them. The Crown eventually dropped drug charges against Kramp and she pleaded guilty to breach of trust and un- safe storage of a firearm. Kramp was then charged un- der the Police Services Act with discreditable conduct and insub- ordination, based on her convic- tion and her refusal to speak with professional standards investiga- tors following her arrest. During the hotly-contested sentencing hearing on the Police Act charges, Kramp's defence lawyer, Sandip Khehra, urged El- bers to give the officer a second chance, noting that at the time of the offences Kramp was in the depths of severe alcoholism. Kramp has been sober since her arrest in 2012, he said. Khehra implored Elbers to consider Kramp's potential for rehabilitation, a process he as- serted she had already begun by pleading guilty to her criminal and Police Act charges, and her pursuit of treatment for sub- stance abuse. He said Kramp would agree to frequent screen- ing for alcohol use were she to be put back to work by the Durham police. The prosecution, led by law- yers Ian Johnstone and Alex Sin- clair, argued Kramp's conduct was so egregious and her reputa- tion so tarnished that there is no way she could ever again effec- tively function as a police officer. The prosecution cited the na- ture of Kramp's offences, which included providing information to an associate of the Hells An- gels. At one point she instructed a drug dealer under investigation to "clean up," the tribunal heard. Kramp surely knew the seri- ousness of the behaviour she en- gaged in, Johnstone said during submissions. "This has nothing to do with alcoholism," Johnstone said. "Nothing." Elbers ultimately agreed that Kramp's conduct rendered her ir- redeemable as an officer. He called her actions a "betrayal" of her colleagues and the communi- ty, which holds cops to a high standard of personal conduct. "Kramp acted deliberately and without concern for officer safe- ty," he said. "This conduct is rep- rehensible." Kramp, who has been sus- pended with pay since being charged - as per provincial legis- lation - showed little reaction to the ruling. As Wednesday's hear- ing wound down, she picked her keys up from a table, stood and strode from the room. DURHAM COP WHO HELPED CRIMINALS LOSES JOB JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com NEWS Tara Kramp was suspended from the Durham Region police force after being arrested June 13 for drug trafficking and other offences. Ms. Kramp is a 15-year veteran of the force.

Durham Region's health department has started its blacklegged tick surveil- lance program, with the aim of monitoring Lyme disease. Not all black- legged ticks are infectious, but some carry a bacteria that might cause Lyme dis- ease in humans through a bite of an infected tick. The surveillance identi- fies areas of blacklegged tick activity, which helps gauge the risk of getting the disease. In 2018, there were 29 confirmed and eight proba- ble cases of Lyme disease in Durham, while there were 40 confirmed and eight probable cases in 2017. "Quickly removing ticks from the skin will help pre- vent infection, as transmis- sion of the Lyme disease- causing bacteria usually requires the tick to be at- tached to the skin for at least 24 hours," Ross Ma- cEachern, manager, health protection with the health department, said. "Ticks removed from skin can be submitted to the health de- partment for proper identi- fication and further test- ing." Early symptoms of Lyme disease usually oc- cur within one to two weeks after a tick bite but early, localized symptoms can be experienced as soon as three days or can been seen up to a month later. Symptoms may include fe- ver, headache, muscle and joint pain, fatigue and a red rash that often looks like a bull's-eye target. If detec- ted early, Lyme disease can be treated successfully with antibiotics. Anyone who develops symptoms af- ter being bitten by a tick should see a health-care provider. The health department has been "drag sampling" for blacklegged ticks since 2010. The process of drag sampling involves drag- ging a piece of white flan- nel cloth over and around vegetation where ticks could be present. In 2018, seven blacklegged ticks were collected and identi- fied in Durham Region and all tested negative for the Lyme disease bacteria. The health department also accepts ticks submit- ted by the public or health- care providers, which are then sent to the public health laboratory for iden- tification and testing. Only ticks that are taken off a person, not off of a pet, are submitted for testing by the department. In 2018, 100 of a total 125 tick-speci- mens collected were identi- fied as blacklegged ticks. While 20 of the 100 ticks tested positive for the Lyme disease bacteria, on- ly eight of the 20 positive ticks were reported to have been picked up within Dur- ham Region. The risk of becoming in- fected with Lyme disease is low, but people can reduce this risk by taking precau- tions when visiting and en- joying outdoor activities, particularly in brushy or forested areas where ticks are generally found. Pre- cautions include: •Wearing long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, socks and closed footwear. •Tucking your pants in- to your socks and wearing light-coloured clothing, which makes ticks easier to spot. •Using an insect repel- lent that has DEET or Ica- ridin on your clothing and exposed skin. •Taking a shower with- in one to two hours and ex- amining your body thor- oughly for ticks after each outing. •Routinely checking pets for ticks and consult- ing with a veterinarian re- garding long-term protec- tion. For more information on Lyme disease, call the health department's Envi- ronmental Help Line at 905-723-3818 or 1-888-777- 9613, or visit durham.ca/ lyme. For the most up-to- date information on Lyme disease risk areas in Onta- rio, visit Public Health On- tario's website at publi- chealthontario.ca. DURHAM STARTS SURVEILLANCE OF BLACKLEGGED TICKS NEWS The Region of Durham's health department is reminding residents to protect themselves against ticks. Durham Region photo dur h a m r e g i o n . c o m New s A d v e r t i s e r | We d n e s d a y , J u l y 3 , 2 0 1 9 | 16 The interior of the Envision screams class and while I’m not usually a fan of sunroofs, the panoramic powered moonroof was one of the nicest I have seen. It slides seamlessly back to allow more light for the front and rear passengers. As I mentioned earlier, the interior hasn’t changed much in two years but why mess with a good thing. All the controls are within easy reach and the buttons are nice and big and easy to use. I also like that GM put some of the safety features, such as front parking warning, within easy reach to turn on and off. Often times, car manufacturers make you scroll through three or four settings on the vehicle until you find some of the controls you actually will use more than once a week. Among the numerous safety features in the Envision are automatic park assist; forward collision warning; lane departure warning; a rear vision camera (which also features an image from above which is very handy in tight spaces) a driver safety alert seat; automatic high beams and a newly added rear seat reminder. The week before I drove the Envision, I spent my first week in a Camaro and I wasn’t a big fan. There were enough small things I didn’t like about the car to not give it a great review. The Envision is the opposite. This is a great-looking compact SUV that deserves to be on your list if you are looking for a car that will fit five people comfortably and get you from point A to B in style. GM has done a good job creating a compact SUV that will entice first-time buyers. What’s Best: The Envision continues to grow as a compact SUV with a very classy interior. What’s Worst: The price of the top of the line ver- sion may seem a little high but it is comparable to some luxury sedans. What’s Interesting: The panoramic moonroof is very stylish and a great showpiece in the SUV.

As far as sportscar racing in North America goes, the WeatherTech series is as high up the ladder as it gets. Woodbridge, ON, Pfaff Motorsports, a division of the vast Pfaff family holding of multiple automotive dealerships, has been involved in the Canadian racing scene for decades, over the years backing greats on their way up such as Scott Goodyear, Richard Spinard and Ron Fellows. But the July 4-7 Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park marks the culmination of a five-year plan to raise Pfaff up to the level it takes to compete in the WeatherTech. And they are ready, as they hosted a tour for a group of Canadian automotive and competition writers of the team’s facility in Woodbridge, as they prepared for the WeatherTech weekend. The centre of attention was, of course, the Porsche 911 GT3 R GTD class racecar in its unique Canadian lumberjack red and black plaid livery, which came about on a whim. Pfaff Creative Director, Lawrence Yap, said a group of race shop technicians were working on the car around Christmas and some of them were wearing the quintessential lumberjack shirts. “Someone said I wonder what it would look like in plaid, so I drew it up in Photoshop and we all said ‘hey that’s kind of cool’,” Yap recalled. Company owner Chris Pfaff gave his approval and the rest, as they say is history. While it looks like a Porsche 911, little on the racecar is shared with the road car. No one wanted to talk or even guesstimate what it costs to compete in the WeatherTech, but team manager, Steve Bortolotti said just the cost of the tires when they competed earlier this year in the Daytona 24-hour race in Florida was more than the overall tire budget for Pfaff’s Canada Porsche GT3 Cup team for the entire season. He said the climb up the ladder to the GTD level has taken five years but now, “we feel comfortable to be at the highest level of competition.” Also, on hand was Vancouver’s Scott Hargrove, who is partnered this year with co-driver Zack Robichaud when they make their Canadian debut as a driver pairing. Hargrove said four years ago he had doubts about his future in racing, but today, “I couldn’t image being part of a greater team.” Responding to why Pfaff is involved and what makes it all worthwhile, Yap said there are many reasons, such as the marketing of the brand and the valuable partnerships while it helps instill a sense of camaraderie with Pfaff’s more than 1,300 employees. “And of course, there is the customer sense of being part of a winning team.” 171,800 printed copies and on-line at durhamregion.com • Over 360,000 readers weekly • A Durham Region Media Group Publication • July 3, 2019 SUBURBAN NEWSPAPERS OF AMERICA Durham Wheels is published weekly, with a total pressrun of 171,800 copies per issue, and is one of the Metroland Printing, Publishing and Distributing group of suburban newspapers with distribution in Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, Uxbridge, Scarborough and Port Perry.

Hyundai and MDGo will co-develop connected services that bring the worlds of health and automotive closer than ever. The initiative is a key part of Hyundai Motor’s philosophy of caring for its customers, and also contributes towards its vision for ‘connected mobility’. MDGo’s intelligent injury analysis system uses an elaborate AI algorithm that measures the attributes applied to the passengers in real-time and alert emergency services and medical facilities to a driver’s likely injuries following a road traffic accident. Using the spectrum of sensors in the car and MDGo technology, Hyundai Motor will be able to send emergency services a wealth of data like injury level information and safety system activation. Crucially, the innovation will secure golden time* that enable emergency services to assess the required scale of response and deploy appropriately skilled medical personnel before arriving at the scene of an accident. The MDGo AI technology interprets accident data and compiles numerous sets of insights regarding the occupants and the vehicle. Within seven seconds of impact, emergency services are sent a detailed analysis of potential injuries, communicated through medical terms. The AI system is continually learning and refining its interpretation of different accident scenarios.

But if you start something, you have to be careful, as it can lead you to do more and more.” Her one reservation is that she doesn’t want to look too different from her kids. “I don’t like the idea of doing too much and then you look at a picture of your younger self or of your babies and they don’t look like you, their mother!”Unbelievably, when it comes to make-up, the �ive-time Grammy award-winner, who is performing to 65,000 fans in London’s Hyde Park this summer, doesn’t actually have a make-up artist for her shows. “I’ve used a lot of make-up artists throughout my life and I’ve learned from them, but I know my own face so well and I can do my whole look in 30 minutes, sometimes even 15. In the beginning I couldn’t afford to have one, so I had to pick up other people’s tricks, and that’s when I realized I love do-ing it myself. My mum used to always do my hair and I would do my make-up, and since then I’ve just stuck with it.”The mother of three is both shocked and honoured to bag a beauty contract at 50. “I had no con�idence when I was young. I didn’t feel pretty, I had problems with my teeth, I was very skinny and I was bul- lied at school. I never thought that, at this stage, I would be asked to be a face of a beauty brand.” Does she wish she could rewind the clock? “I don’t want to go back in time, because I feel better than ever. My teenage years and 20s were wonderful, but I never felt that in charge. Now I have an inner voice that’s helping me to raise my children. I’ve never felt as beautiful or as strong as I do now,” she says. “You think I’m done? Honey, I’m just starting. I really think the best is yet to come.” Quickfire with Céline Fake tan: yes or no? “I don’t like fake tan. I prefer the sun, but I need to be naked because I don’t want tan lines.’” Your best angle for sel es? “My back. Next question?” How much sleep do you need? “When my husband passed away [René Angélli, died of cancer three years ago], I rearranged my room and bought a big, big, big bed, so my eight-year-old twins and I all sleep together —we call each other the three amigos. I’m a light sleeper, but I sleep a lot, sometimes 12 hours.” Your big make-up no-no “Red lipstick. It’s an accident waiting to hap- pen with the microphone. It touches my lips, then my cheeks, then my forehead — and before I know it, the press have printed that I have chickenpox!” Would you revive your 1990s ringlets? The shorter I cut my hair, the curlier it gets. I have no problems with the curls, but this style needs to be longer and bigger. Give me the curls, baby. Bring it on.” You had a pixie crop in 2000. Was it easier to manage? “No way. With long hair you can do a beauti- ful ponytail or a chignon. With short hair, you’re stuck.” Your exercise of choice “Dance is in my DNA. Also I train four times a week after shows — I go a couple of doors down from the venue and we stretch and do barre.” Your top make-up rule “Clean equipment. You have to clean brushes and sponges regularly to get rid of the bacteria.” If you could pick one product… “A black kohl liner — but it has to be a good one. So many make my eyes sensitive or are too dry and chalky. A creamy, long-lasting one gets my pick.” Your secret to long-lasting make-up “Choose oil-based formulas. If it’s water- based and I tear up, it will streak. If it’s oil- based, it doesn’t budge.” Do you go bare-faced? “Yes, but there’s one small rule: my hair has to be done. A chignon gives my face a nice lift.” – The Interview People CélineDion’s nal concert at Caesars Palace was June 8, 2019. Photo: Dreamstime– Torstar File Photo Heading South this W inter?
