Elder abuse can take place in the home, in a residential setting, or in the community. The perpetrator can be a stranger, caregiver, or family member, but studies show that abuse usually occurs in a relationship where there is an expectation of trust. Abuse can happen to any older adult, whether or not they are mentally incompetent. If it is believed the attorney is not acting in the best interest of the elder person, an application may be made to the court who may require the appointed attorney to go through a passing of accounts. If the substitute decision maker has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the elderly adult then the court may order restitution. The Public Guardian and Trustee (PGT) has power to investigate into allegations of abuse or neglect. The PGT may refer the victim to the appropriate services or may apply to the court for temporary guardianship. If you are a victim of elder abuse or suspect that someone else is suffering from elder abuse, you should seek advice We are experienced in dealing with elder care issues and are associated with many elder associations that can help.

ARTS Innerscapes Now and Then is a new eclectic art show at Williams Mill Innerscapes Now and Then is a new eclectic art show by Eileen Simpson, Monica Burnside, and Jan Zimmerman being held at the Williams Mill, 515 Main St., in Glen Williams from May 27 to June 14.   The show comprises the bright- ly coloured, folk art style acrylic paintings by Zimmerman, the quieter, more minimalist style of Simpson and the gentle land- scapes of Burnside.   Despite their varied styles, the group has met and painted togeth- er for over 15 years.  "Painting is often a solitary profes- sion.  Our purpose is to accelerate de- velopment and exploration together, and also to support each other on our own individual creative journeys," said Zimmerman.  The gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.   Wil- liams Mill Visual Arts Centre is at 515 Main St., Glen Williams.   For more information, call 905-873- 8203.
