Much of the success of the The Nature Festival is due to local citizens who volunteer their services. Miranda Purdy and Meaghan McEachren were busy at a number of tasks.

While the Festival has its big name entertainers, local talent proved to be a hit with audiences. Songs by the family trio of Theresa Binda, and Adrienne and Frances Beaupré was rewarded with warm applause.

Public Unaware of seems to be flying under Devastating Cuts to the public’s radar. The

Children’s Psychiatric Regional Chi ldren’s Services in the North Psychiatric Centre, based

in Sudbury, is the only I am wr i t ing to N o r t h e r n s i t e t h a t

e x p r e s s c o n t i n u e d provides special ized concern and dismay over psychiatric services to t h e l o s s o f m e n t a l children from across h e a l t h / p s y c h i a t r i c Northern Ontario (i.e., services to children in suicidal, schizophrenic, N o r t h e r n O n t a r i o . and depressed children). Although an outraged Instead of covering its publ ic has received $200,000 deficit, the suppor t to increase Ministry offered the funding for adult mental Centre $60,000 knowing heal th services , the this amount wouldn’t Ministry of Children and even save one program. Youth Services (MCYS) Even worse, the Ministry

is considering CUTTING over $100,000 from the underfunded agency. What is also disturbing about the Ministry’s actions is that it seems to b e i g n o r i n g s t a f f , a d m i n i s t r a t i o n a n d Board’s input regarding program cuts. Despite staff protest, the Ministry is currently considering “approving” the closure of the Regional Children’s Family Program – a unique service where an entire family resides for one week to receive intensive, specialized parent training from a team of professions, led by a Child Psychiatrist. The Ministry is also considering “approving” the loss of inpatient child p s y c h i a t r i c b e d s designated for children throughout the North. Of further disregard to the Ministry is the reduction o f b i l ingua l f ami ly

services, since the only bilingual family therapist is slated for lay off. This, in itself, is a gross oversight and is another example of a Ministry that doesn’t fully understand the impact of reducing Francophone services in the North.

One has to wonder, if MCYS secretly dictates a n d o v e r r u l e s a n y decision made by the B o a r d , w h o a r e attempting to do the “right thing” clinically, then why should the Centre have a Board? If the local MCYS officials run their business with secrecy and bullying tactics, do they do so with the approval of their Minister, Dr. Marie Bountrogianni? Is the Ministry trying to close down RCPC and force Northern children away from their families and communities to instead t r a v e l t o S o u t h e r n Ontario? Perhaps MCYS is feeling untouchable and unaccountable to public scrutiny. We need to speak up and stand up to government bullies. We need to save psychiatric programs for our children in the North. Is $200,000 really too big a price to help preserve our already depleted services? What will the ultimate cost be for children and families?

Melissa Dionne, Kurtis Morin, James Vandell, Eric Dubuc and Brent Pellow, all completed the hilly ride. The riders were escorted with a support crew of of Chantal Dionne, Rick Turcotte, Donald Dionne, Jennifer Pellow, Mallory Pellow and Jessica Dionne. The support staff supplied the much needed water and food to keep the riders fueled and watered to push themselves to all the peaks of the hills. A special thanks to Kathy's Kitchen for providing a place to break and some drinks.

Once at Bud Lake the riders were met by 9 Wawa riders who had also made the ride, from Wawa to Bud Lake. These Wawa riders also made the return ride. There was a short stop over as riders exchanged stories of their journey over more food and water.

The Chapleau crew was by far the youngest with 5 of the six riders under 18 years of age. The youngest, Jonathon D i o n n e , 11 y e a r s , managed to edge out his older sister Melissa. These young riders are to be commended to their fund raising and their incredible effort to complete this ride on a hot and hilly course.

This ride raised $919 for the Canadian cancer S o c i e t y a n d i s a continuation of a ride started by the late Bonnie Domingue. Cheers to all riders and see you next year.
