for the elderly “puts people in the hospital,” said spokeswoman MaryAnne Pankhurst, and “it’s all of our business” to prevent it. Many places in the United States mandate their pharmacists to watch for cases of elder abuse often caused by the denial of misap- propriation of key medication. But no such legislation exists in Ontario, said Pankhurst. There are a number of “red flag” scenarios which Medical Arts pharmacists are trained to detect, she said. They could be “record- ing gaps” indicating a lapse of time be- tween prescription requests or problems discovered during an in-home visit by the pharmacist. One example, Pankhurst raised, is a care- giver withholding pain medication out of concern the client may become addicted to the prescription drug. During a home visit, the pharmacist can explain how a patient who is in pain cannot become addicted to pain medication, she said. The pharmacist also looks out for cases of self neglect, like in cases where a senior may abandon conventional medicine for an advertised “miracle cure” for their ailment. There are never guarantees such promised cures are safe and there is also the chance the medication offered is simply a placebo. “It takes a whole community to prevent this sort of thing,” Pankhurst said. greg.kielec@eap.on.ca alcohol prevention program uses the theme of car racing to teach the importance of say- ing “NO” to young people. The goal is to capture the attention of the young people and demonstrate the benefits of living a drug-free life.

The event takes place fromMonday, April 16 to Thursday, April 19 at the Cornwall Armouries on Fourth Street. Approxi- mately 1,200 students will participate.

It was a celebration with a serious un- derlying message: Elder abuse and how pharmacists can work to spot abuse cases among their clients. Medical Arts Pharmacy held a ribbon cut- ting and cake-cutting ceremony to celebrate some of the city’s eldest citizens at its 13th Street location Monday morning, followed by a ribbon cutting at its Montreal Road lo- cation. The purpose was twofold: to celebrate the lives of five elderly city residents and to also highlight the role pharmacists can play in elder abuse through cases of “medication mismanagement”. To highlight the problem of elderly abuse, Medical Arts brought in three experts to discuss the problem at a press conference at its 13th Street site Monday morning. Speaking were Manon Thompson, re- gional consultant for the The Ontario Net- work for the Prevention of Elder Abuse, Denise Paquette, RN, chair and coordinator for the Prevention of Elder Abuse program with Carefor Health and Community Serv- ices and Const. Krista Millar of the RCMP. Elder abuse and neglect is a nationally rec- ognized public health problem with pro- found negative impacts on community health. The mismanagement of medication The area police and community organi- zations will launch the 14th annual Rac- ing Against Drugs for Grade 6 students in the counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry in less than two weeks.
