Lola L. CuddyDepartment of Psychology, Queen’s UniversityIn normal healthy aging we notice certain declines in mental abilities, such as those involving reaction time and short term memory. The good news is that musical memories do not leave us, but can remain a source of pleasure, comfort, and recollection. At the Music Cognition/Acoustics lab we have been studying memory for music along with the memories and emotions that music can evoke. Memories triggered by music tend to be autobiographical and are essentially happy and positive.

In our recent research (sup-

You don’t have to be a member of the Grace Arts Committee to rub shoulders with local artists, perform-ers and musicians, but membership does have its privileges. For one, members may explore the full range of artistic and cultural talent in the region. They select artists and artisans, performers and speakers to showcase in Grace Hall. They organize events to develop the arts, to promote and support the good work of SFCSC and to bring the community together. They share an interest in the arts, a creative spirit, and a strong sense of community mindedness. And they’re looking for others who feel the same.

Thank-you to Food Banks Canada, McCain Foods and Nestlé Canada for donating $1,500 to us through their Feeding Families Fund. The proceeds will support our Preparing Family Meals on a Budget Program. SFCSC, in partnership with KFL&A's Health Unit, will be offering crock pot cooking classes for new and existing food bank clients. Parents of school aged children from previous classes will learn advanced cooking skills and ways to stretch the budget. For new clients, our goal is to support parents in developing healthy eating habits and cooking skills for their families through education and imple-mentation of new cooking tools and resources. Thank you to our partners and sponsors, and all those in our community, who help support SFCSC's Food Bank. For more information about this program contact Family Services at (613)

SFCSC's Vehicle Donation Program

It's easy to turn your old car, motorcycle, boat or tractor into a gift for your communi-ty! Just call SFCSC and we'll

take care of everything. It's free and you get a charitable receipt.

Recycling your vehicle is good for the environment and your community!

ported by the GRAMMY founda-tion®) we have assembled a team of medical colleagues and our students to include testing people with dementia. Our studies with several hundred community par-ticipants involve a variety of music recognition tests. All participants find the tests easy, simple, and fun.  And we now have scientific evi-dence that musical memories are present for older adults and spared for many people with dementia.  Scientific-based evidence is sorely needed to support and motivate the development of affordable mu-sic programs.

Importantly, it is not necessary to be a musician to have musi-cal memories!  Musical memories can be tunes from the past that we all have sung or hummed such as Christmas carols, party, fire-side, and camp songs, and so on. More-over, it is never too late to enjoy the benefits of music by getting involved with musical activities.

If you would like to participate in our future studies, or would just like more information without obligation, please contact us at the Acoustics Lab at Queen’s AT 613-533-2490.  You may leave a voice message at any time and we will get back to you as soon as we can. Participation takes only about a few hours, and can be in your own home, or our offices, whichever you prefer.  Or visit our website: http://www.queensu.ca/psychol-ogy/mcl/LabHome.html

SFCSC would like to thank Union Gas for its donation to our food bank. Jennifer Linton, (far right ) is seen

here with food bank volunteer, Sharon Smith, accepting a $1,000 cheque from Marni Leonard and two of her

fellow employees from Union Gas

The demand for SFCSC's Food Bank continues to increase as more and more people struggle to make ends meet after a difficult winter.

At this time of year donations of may-onnaise, salad dressings, and condiments such as ketchup, mustard and relish are most welcome.

Our greenhouse is filling up with lots of green seedlings. I was at the green-house April 22nd for an interview with CBC reporter JC Kenny, along with students from Loughborough Public School's Grade Seven Challenge Class. This interview was broad-cast on CBC 107.5 radio at 07:45AM on Thursday April 24th.

Once again this class will be working in the garden and greenhouse, alongside seniors, to grow vegetables for the food bank and Adult Day clients.

We received a grant from the Federal Government to help continue our work in the garden. The grant's criteria is for seniors mentoring students. We still need a few more seniors to assist our students. Please call 613 376-6477 if you have a few hours to spare, and would like to work with these bright, young students, hours, days and times are flexible.Jennifer Linton SFCSC Volunteer Food

The Enhancement Campaign had a goal of $50,000 where all funds will be used to support the increased demand for senior and CSS services, family service supports and the growing need for a food bank in our area. The campaign has allowed SFCSC to continue to say YES to everyone who needs and requires our services and support. Join us at the AGM to find out more about this campaign and what difference it is making to our community.And finally, I would like to welcome everyone to our summer BBQ on Wednesday, August 6 at the Grace Centre.

One of the myths about death is that talking about it deepens the wound and slows down the grieving process. As a result of this belief people may not talk about a death to someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one. The best support one can offer to someone who is grieving is not to try and distract them from their grief but to listen to them in a caring and non-judgemental manner. Grief shared is grief diminished…

for each time someone grieving talks about their loss a layer of pain is shed.

“We definitely need more volun-teers,” says Arts Committee member Wilma Kenny, “people who are inter-ested in events and would like to be a part of them - giving as little or as much time as they have.

“It can be short-term, such as set-ting up a room, taking it down after-wards and just being present, or they can choose one aspect, such as plan-ning, or putting up posters. The more volunteers we have, the more we can spread out the work.

“I’ve found it fun, and it’s not too onerous.”

In the past year, the Arts Com-mittee has hosted a wide range of exhibits and talks by artists, authors and naturalists. It organized a night of Australian storytelling and music, brought together musicians and art-ists for Culture Days, and participated in a unique fundraiser for SFCSC’s annual charity auction.

Upcoming events include a concert by Melodia Monday, an exhibit by the Verona Quilters, and the “Sydenham Stomp”, an outdoor country music concert.

“We’d love to have some public readings and possibly theatre,” says Wilma.

“We have some very talented people in the community,” adds com-mittee member Nona Mariotti. “Let’s recognize them!”

The committee meets every month or so as needed to plan events and generate ideas. To become a member or to find out more, contact Wilma at willorkenny@gmail.com or by phone at 613-376-3804.

Frontenac Kingston Council on Aging

Your Council on Aging has been serving our region since 1991.

Our mission statement is: “The Frontenac-Kingston Council on Aging, Inc. is a registered charitable corporation dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of all seniors in the Frontenac Islands, the City of Kingston and its regions.

The COA accomplishes this through research; community consultations; and recommendations to all levels of government; public education; advocacy; elder abuse prevention strategies and through developing innovative pilot projects that will enhance the quality of life of our community’s seniors.”

The Council has been very active since its inception. The Council recognized the challenges our community would face as the Baby Boomers became seniors long before the rest of the world did. We have also focused on all seniors’ needs not just the extra challenge of the changing demo-graphics.

The Council has been instrumental in creating The Smile Program, The Oasis Supportive Liv-ing Model, a Support Phone Line to Report El-der Abuse and assist people experiencing abuse. We work with many community partners to raise awareness and change behaviours and attitudes. The Elder Abuse Task Force worked very closely with the Council and when it lost funding the Council agreed to continue some of its important work. Our Phone Line is a branch of that collabo-ration and we are currently in discussions with many agencies to develop a “Response Team” to improve our communities’ ability to react quickly when people are in crisis.

We have many other projects. We have devel-oped guides to help people navigate the Health Care System and create effective Powers of At-torney. We are working with Queen’s on Ageism Awareness and Grandparents’ Rights. We speak to countless organizations to educate people to recognize and report Elder Abuse.

We host an Annual Education Day. This year it

Book Reviews by Jennifer Hutson

Although my taste in literature tends to nonfic-tion, I could not help but be drawn to recent works of fiction with the intriguing titles The 100-Year-Old Man who Climbed out the Window and Disap-peared and The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules. Both are translated works by Swedish authors, Jonas Jonasson and Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg respectively, who clearly espouse the idea that aging can be done disgracefully and with considerable hu-mour. Fans of the British situation comedy “Waiting for God” will likely enjoy the sensibilities displayed in these books.

The Jonasson book chronicles the escapades of centenarian Allan Karlsson, an explosives expert and vodka aficionado, interweaving his notable past and zany present as well as wily confrontations with the Old Folks’ Home director, Alice. This international bestseller has been described as quirky and unique—a delightful read.

Seventy-nine-year-old Martha Andersson, the Little Old Lady who acts as protagonist in the Ingel-man-Sundberg book, belongs to the newly formed League of Pensioners. These five best friends are de-termined to stand up for senior citizens everywhere by plotting to rebel against the rules imposed upon them within the ennui at the retirement home. A grand caper, pointed and poignant.

In the next review: William Ian Miller’s nonfiction tome Losing It, in which an aging professor LA-MENTS his shrinking BRAIN which he flatters him-self formerly did him Noble Service: a Plaint, tragi-comical, historical, vengeful, sometimes satirical and thankful in six parts, if his Memory does yet serve.

Jennifer Hutson is a lifelong reader and book collector. Trained as

a Book Conservator, she served as a senior manager at the Na-

tional Library of Canada (now Library and Archives Canada) before

circumstances pushed her into research in healthy aging. Jennifer

is currently writing a manual with the working title “Understanding

and Managing Healthcare at Home in Ontario” based on findings

and experiences in the field. If you have suggestions, queries or

comments about her book reviews or research, Jennifer can be

reached at truenorth@kos.net or through SFCSC. Anyone interested

in forming a monthly book club to read and discuss books with a

seniors’ focus is also asked to make contact.

Communication is at the heart of human nature. We communicate all day and every day. As we age, it is impor-tant to pay attention to any changes in our hearing levels. Hearing loss is the third most prevalent chronic condition in older adults and the most widespread disability; and its prevalence rises with age. Reports indicate that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have hearing loss (Cruickshanks et al. 1998).

Here are some signs of hearing loss to look for:• People seem to mumble or speak too softly• People complain that you need the TV too loud• People complain that you are speaking too loudly• You ask people to repeat things often• You miss parts of conversations and misunderstand

what is being said• You have difficulty hearing in crowds• You miss what people are saying when their backs are

turned• You have trouble hearing over the phone• You favour one ear over the other• You think you are starting to avoid social contactIf you suspect a hearing loss, the first step to hearing

health is to have a hearing test done at a local hearing aid vendor to determine your current hearing levels. If a hear-ing loss is found, recommendations on hearing aids and other assistive technologies will be made.

Most commonly, hearing loss is caused by changes in the inner ear that occur as we get older. This generally causes difficulties in hearing high pitched sounds and speech now starts to sound mumbled and unclear: I can hear you but I don`t understand what you are saying. In understand-ing speech, people with age-related hearing loss become much more reliant on visual cues such as lipreading, facial expressions, and body language. We are excited to continue hearing health clinics at

The Grace Centre and look forward to seeing you

there! Please call Angela Pagniello Mantle at CHS

AIt is important to think of sunscreen as just that: a screen. It blocks some of the sun’s rays while still letting some through.

Each bottle of sunscreen is labeled with an SPF. This is an estimate of how much UVB light is being blocked and how long a person can stay in the sun without obvious sunburn.

For example, if a per-son would burn in 10 minutes with NO protection, then an SPF 15 sunscreen will protect 15 times longer or 150 minutes. This is because it is only letting through 1/15th of UVB rays.

An SPF 30 would protect 30 times longer or 300 minutes because it lets through only 1/30th of UVB rays.

To get the most out of your sunscreen make sure to apply it 20 minutes before going into the sun and reapply it at least every 2 hours.

QWho would you want making your decisions when you no longer can?

A Every day we make decisions that affect our personal and financial well-being. Being capable of making decisions means that we are able to understand information needed to make a decision and to appreciate the consequences.

But what if you lose that capacity?By making Powers of Attorney, you decide who decides. Powers of Attorney allow you to give another person, known as your “attorney”, legal authority to decide for you. Financial decisions, such as paying your bills, managing your bank account, borrowing money and buying or selling property can be made under a Continuing Power of Attorney for Property (CPAP). The CPAP can cover all your financial decisions or be limited to a particular asset like your bank account. A CPAP, gives your attorney authority to make financial decisions for you right away, unless you specify that it comes into effect at a future date (e.g. when you become incapable).

Personal care decisions, including consent to treatment and moving to a long term care home, can only be made under a Power of Attorney for Personal Care (PAPC) if you are incapable of deciding for yourself. Lack of capacity to make a certain personal care decision does not mean that you are incapable of mak-ing all decisions. For example, you could be incapable of deciding whether to move into a long term care home, but still capable of deciding who will visit you.

Ontario’s Substitute Decision Act governs both the CPAP and PAPC, and sets out the qualifications and duties of attorneys. Your attorney for personal care must be at least 16 years old, and make decisions in your best interest and according to any prior capable wish. Attorneys for property must be at least 18 years old, keep accounts and manage your property as well as a “person of ordinary prudence” unless they are paid, in which case he or she is then expected to handle your financial affairs with the same skill as a per-son in the business of managing property of others.

Despite these rules, appointing someone else to make decisions for you is risky. It is therefore important to understand Powers of Attorney and appreciate whether making one is right for you. Before making Powers of Attorney you should speak to a lawyer. More information is also available at:

• Your Legal Rights (http://yourlegalrights.on.ca/wills-and-estates/powers-of-attorney)• ACE (http://www.advocacycentreelderly.org/powers_of_attorney_-_introduction.php)• Ministry of the Attorney General (http://www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca/english/family/pgt/poa.
