Jennifer Bennett is a lady of many talents and interests. Friendly, enthusiastic and full of ideas, this attractive woman is known to residents of South Frontenac for her work in music, writing, gardening and church. Her books have focused on things important to rural readers and gardeners, from berries to drought conditions. We hear there is a new one in the works that is a novel involv-ing a cat.

Jennifer was born in Vancouver but has lived in Hartington, Sydenham and Verona area in Frontenac County since 1976. She was an editor at Harrow-smith Magazine in Camden East where she wrote the first edi-tion of Northern Gardener. The

The SFCSC’s garden capacity is growing, thanks to the completion of a 900-square-foot greenhouse last October. Janette Haase, Garden Facilitator, says the new Grace Centre Green-house will allow for the production of fresh greens – along with tomato reds and carrot oranges – almost year-round, a boon for the SFCSC’s Food Bank and participants in the Cen-tre’s adult day program.

Haase plans to start seedlings in the greenhouse in March, including tomatoes, pepper, lettuces, spin-ach, cabbages and green onions. Most of these will be transplanted to the 3,500-square-foot outdoor garden, where they will supplement a healthy crop of beans and peas, kale and beets, carrots, potatoes and onions. Some of the tomatoes and peppers will be kept in the

SFCSC's Vehicle Donation Program

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

gardens around her homes have always been noteworthy and she has shared her interest, expertise and plants with many of us. Jennifer continues to be interested in promoting a more natural lifestyle, protecting the environment and strength-ening our communities.

Jennifer received her BMus from Queen’s in 2004 and has a special interest in choirs and composing music. She was the founding director of Frontenac Women`s Choir which brings joy to its members and music to residents of South Frontenac. One of her Christmas compositions was performed by the Verona Community Choir last December.

A musical (Delia’s Hereafter Society) for which Jennifer wrote the script, music and lyrics has been successfully performed in Kingston at Queen’s and the Octave Theatre. She is a faithful member of a writer’s group and a book club, both with roots in South Frontenac.

Now living on the eastern fringes of Kingston, Jennifer has found lots of new friends and activities, including playing upright bass in several swing bands. But she can often be seen in our area and agrees that part of her heart will always be in South Fronte-nac where life is so rich and full.

Jennifer has been a long time volunteer for SFCSC and has assisted at our reception desk and at Treasure Chest Bingo. Her muscial composi-tions have also been featured at our arts events in Grace Hall.

Food Bank News

SFCSC's David Townsend (far left) Jennifer Linton (cen-tre) and Elizabeth Peterson (far right), would like thank

Jim Hase (second from left), the parishioners of St. Patrick's Church, and John Lesperance (second from left) from St. Patrick Council of the Knights of Colum-bus for thier $2,282 donation to SFCSC's Food Bank.

Thank-you so much!.

On behalf of Southern Frontenac Community Services Corporation, volunteers and clients of the food bank, I wish to express my sincere thank you all the organizations, churches, schools and individuals who have supported us through food drives, fundraisers, and individual donations throughout 2013.

Last year 1017 adults and 659 children accessed our Food Bank. To date, (No-vember 30th )we have had 1290 adults and 812 children access the Food Bank. This is a staggering increase. There would be a lot more people living in hunger without all the very generous support we receive. We thank you all. Your support is very much appreciated.

Staffing Changes Update

We are thrilled to welcome Michele Zigman to the position of Family Services Worker. Michele joins Elizabeth Peter-son and the two ladies are sharing all of the departmental responsibilities. Drop in and welcome Michele to the team.

I would be remiss if I did not officially welcome Linda Bates to the team. Linda has taken over our catering du-ties from Marjorie Murphy, who retired in June. (Many, many thanks to Marjorie for feeding us all so well!) Our process for Diner’s Clubs has changed somewhat and so far, everyone appears happy with the buffet style, food choices and quality.

We also need to officially say good-bye and thank you to Danielle Fenwick (Penner) and Iain Todd; both of whom have resigned from SFCSC and have taken on new health care roles as Regional Care Coordinators. Many of you will have met Cynthia Burnett and Bob Abrams, but we can now welcome them both as full time employees of SFCSC.

Changes can always be beneficial but I am also glad to say that many of our staff have been with us for quite a while and are providing a good balance of new ideas with his-torical perspectives.

William Shakespeare once wrote, To weep is to make less the depth of grief.

Although many people are uncomfortable with them, tears are not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength and can be very healing. While it is unshed tears that can make your head and stomach hurt, crying serves as a release valve for the strong emotions of grief.

Studies have shown that

certain brain chemicals found in tears are natural pain relievers.

If you are in need of support through a time of grief please call Mary.

GraceCommunityGardengreenhouse, however, where they will ripen earlier and can be grown far into the fall season. In fact, Haase hopes to grow kale and spinach right through the winter in the greenhouse, whose “green” features include passive heating and cooling, rainwater collection and heat storage.

Haase, the author of “From Seed to Table: A Practical Guide to Eating and Growing Green”, is passionate about growing her own food and about teaching others to do the same, either through community gardens or in their own backyards. She particularly loves working with children, so was thrilled with the participation of the students in the Grade 7 Challenge class from Loughbor-ough Public School, who came every week to work in the garden and help as the greenhouse was built.

“I love working with kids, being outdoors, growing food and seeing people become inter-ested in gardening,” she says, “watching as they discover how much fun it really is.”

Together, Haase and the students harvested a basket of produce for lunch at the Adult Day program each week. “The participants said it reminded them of the gardens they used to have,” Haase said. “At the end of the school year, the seniors made booklets describing what school was like when they were growing up and gave the booklets to the Grade 7 class.”

As rewarding as the gardens are, they are a lot of work and require a dedicated team of volun-teers who enjoy being outdoors and don’t mind getting their hands dirty. Volunteer tasks include watering and weeding, opening the greenhouse if it gets too hot, helping to oversee the Grade 7 volunteers on their weekly visits, and harvesting the ripe produce.

All too often when a situation comes up that a friend, family member or caregiver experiences that may be Elder Abuse the first reaction is – What do I do now? Where do I turn? This needs to

be private in case I’m wrong !!!

It is for all these rea-sons, and many more, that the Elder Abuse Preven-

tion Peer Support Telephone System is in existence. Run by the Frontenac-Kingston Council on Aging as an all-volunteer service it gives people a place to turn for the answers to …What do I do now?

The Peer Support Line is a free 800# that is an-swered by a Peer Support volunteer. You needn't give your name or the potential victim's name to get help. It is completely confidential. Even the phones are blinded so that the worker has no idea where the call is coming from.

Elder Abuse seldom appears full blown over-night, it is a series of events which, unchecked, will grow bigger and bigger until it cannot be hidden. The idea of the Peer Support Line is to provide help, advice and strategies BEFORE the situation gets out of hand. Many abusive situations are not done intentionally. In actual intentional abuse, the Peer Support Line can provide advice for those who care about the abused to get the victim out of harm’s way and stop the abuse. No senior should ever have to tolerate abuse from any source.

Let me give you an example ……. it is 8:30 in the evening at a local woman’s shelter. A couple in their late 40’s come in the door with an obviously frightened older woman. They drop two suitcases beside the woman and say to the worker, “here you take her, we're tired of looking after her” and out the door they go with not another word.

It is obvious that the woman is not only fright-ened but suffering from some signs of dementia. She has seen her world collapse and just doesn’t have the capacity to deal with what is happening. A woman’s shelter is not the right place for her, they don’t have the level of care she will need. The shelter worker calls the Peer Support Line. The Support worker begins by finding a suitable place for her to stay tem-porarily, and then they get the story from her as to

what is happening. The couple who dropped her off were her son and his girlfriend.

Apparently they have been living with her in her apartment, he of course is unemployed and the income they live off is Mom’s pen-sion income. They have gone home to her apartment and live off her pension cheques that are being deposited to her account which they have control over. With her out of the way all the money, they think, will be theirs.

The Support Worker helps immediately redirect her money to an account the son cannot access. She also has the woman as-sessed by local authorities and she is eligible for Long Term Care which is arranged on an emergency basis. She moves into care and is happily participating in the life of the home with no fears of her son controlling her life in the future.

This is the value of Peer Support Services.

Fundraising NewsSFCSC's Chairs for Charity Auction Raises $10,000 for Local Seniors

SFCSC Launches it's first Enhancement Campaign

SFCSC celebrates its 25th Anniversary in 2014 with the launch of our first Enhancement Cam-paign, a campaign that will enhance health and social services in our community.

Starting with only 2 employees in 1989, SFCSC has enabled over 20,000 seniors to live within the comfort of their own homes.

We have enhanced the lives of low income fami-lies with the help of our fi-nancial assistance and food bank programs.

And we have enriched our community through our volunteers, community garden, our recreational programs, and arts events.

Here's our challenge. Our funding support does not cover the continued in-creases in service levels we have experienced since 2011.

The campaign's financial goal is to raise $50,000 by June 30 of this year. Our objective is to help 178 NEW CLIENTS get access to essential health and social services in 2014. We want to keep enabling our seniors to live with dignity and not be forced into long term care facilities because of a lack of local services. And we want to mini-mize the risk of poverty and homelessness in our area by giving those who are struggling a place to come for help. This is why our motto is: Enabling, Enhancing, Enriching Lives

Please Join us on February 7th from 7:30-8:30am at the Grace Centre to find out more. See page 12 for event details!

ADiarrhea develops in 15–40% of travel-lers to less developed areas and can certain-ly put a damper

on any vacation. You can minimize your risk by making good choices about what you eat and drink:

Drink only boiled, bottled or carbonated beverages and avoid ice cubes un-less made from safe water (unfortunately, alcoholic drinks do not sterilize wa-ter or ice).

Eat only thoroughly and recently cooked meats or seafood.

Avoid raw fruits and vegetables unless you peel them yourself.

Avoid food from street vendors.Wash hands with soap and water before eating.

Some medications like:• bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol®),• the cholera vaccine (Dukoral®) • and rarely antibiotics can be taken preventatively

for travellers’ diarrhea. These options certainly are not appropriate for everyone and vary significantly in effectiveness, so as always, talk to your healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

QTime for a new will?

AYou may have heard that you should re-do your will every few years. But getting a will done by a lawyer takes time and money that most of us would rather do something else with. So is it re-ally necessary?

Wills are drafted to capture your wishes when you sign them, not when you die, so the answer depends on how much your circumstances have changed. Many people’s lives can change dramatically within a short time. Couples marry, babies are born, families move, marriages break up, spouses die, charities come and go – these are just examples of events that can affect how, or even if, your will would operate after you die.

In some situations, a new will is a must. Getting married automatically revokes your current will, unless it was made “in contemplation of ” that marriage. Divorce revokes any gifts to your former spouse and any appointment of them as an “estate trustee” or executor. Separation, however, does not change a will at all, so whether you’re newly married or newly separated, it is important to get a new will done right away.

But there are other situations in which the instructions in your will may become unclear. Say, for ex-ample, that when you signed your current will, you had three biological children, and your will leaves your estate to be “divided equally amongst my children.” Now you’re in a common law partnership with someone who has two other children from a previous relationship. Should your estate be divided into three or five?

The process of getting answers in court can be complicated and expensive. You might dread the time and cost of sorting things out with a lawyer, but it is far cheaper for you to redraft your will while you are alive than for your estate to go to court.

In short, you only need to re-do your will when it no longer fits your situation. But you should review your will every few years, and anytime your circumstances change significantly, and make sure it reflects what you want to have happen after you die.
