Newsletter unveiled to educate and prevent elder abuse in Huron County signal -star publishing. A. newsletter designed to help se- niors and their caregivers in Huron County ensure that they are protected from elder abuse while getting the most out of their golden years was unveiled by the Huron Elder Abuse Prevention Committee at the Betty Cardno centre in Clinton last week. The newsletter, entitled "Aging with Respect and Care" will be dis- tributed free inside the next edition of theFocusnewspaper. ShelleyDorey, chair of the Huron Elder Abuse Prevention .Committee and executive director of victim ser- vices ofHuron County says their goal in distributing the insert is to educate local residents -about challenges se- niors todayare faced with and the-re- sowves available to make those chal- lenges easier. " Inffonnation is power," she said. "So the more information we can get to seniors and their care- givers, the better?' Dorey said that while elder abuse may have been a taboo subject in the past, as the population ages, it is im- portant to bring the issues surround- ing the topic to light. "Huron County is a popular spot for retirement, and as the demograph- ic across Ontario is aging, these is- sues have to come to the forefront," she said. "Elder abuse has existed for a long time, but it's just beginning to be talked about." However, Dorey noted that the group did strive to make the newslet- ter an enjoyable read. "It's a mix of serious issues, along with some more fun stories," she said. While the focus of the group is elder abuse, they are using the newsletter to distribute information on everything from legal advice to Internet safety to physical activity and nutrition tips, as well as entertaining and insightful personalstories from local residents like this year's Huron County Senior of the Year, Audrey Kerr Kerr was on hand at the launch of Great Cars.

"It seems like just yes- terday that Lwas a little girl,' said the 86 -year-old: "I always did like old people...now I am one myself. We should be thankful that we're allowed to be seniors when you think of the ones that don't get to." In an effort to ensure that local seniors and the people who care for them have access to as much assis- tance as possible, a guide to the re- gion's caregiver's support services and community services pertaining to seniors is included in the insert. The newsletter also includes some sample brainteasers and exercises to keep the mind sharp, provided by the Alzheimer's Society. Dorey said she is optimistic about getting the information out to those who need it. -"I think our goal of reaching everyone in the community will be reached."
