DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com Despite having two Lanark County mental health nurses working with Lanark County OPP, mental health calls for service continue to rise.

Statistics released by Lanark County OPP detachment commander Insp. Derek Needham show that there is a great need for the nurses - and that he could do with as many as five such nurses on staff, if he could.

Mental health calls for service in Lanark County have risen from 465 in 2015 to 650 in 2018.

However, since the introduction of the Lanark County Situation Table in 2015, the number of calls for service for people referred to the group, has fallen considerably. Those calls for service dropped from 2,692 to 963, between Dec. 9, 2015, and Aug. 9, 2017.

In fact, the very first case referred to the Situation Table showed what a remarkable turnaround someone can have when they get connected to services

"He was just spiralling," said Needham. When he finally got sorted out the next year, he genSee MENTAL, page 16

FILM NIGHT INTERNATIONAL SEEKS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE TO SAVE ITS SCREEN TIME DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Film Night International needs to sell 120 memberships by the end of June, or its silver screen may fade to black.

Faye Cunningham, the film night's founder, and former head librarian of the Perth and District Union Public Library, confirmed that her group needs "to sell a minimum of 120 passes by the end of June," during a telephone interview on the afternoon of Thursday, April 18. "At that time, we will make a decision if the series will continue."

Part of the reason for this drive has been because "our audiences have been dwindling over the last several years. I'm not sure where the blame for that lies," she said.

Another challenge has been that for those who do attend the film nights, "people ... are more likely to purchase single tickets than a pass to (the) entire series," she said, which "doesn't help us."

The film night is looking at a new model for the 20192020 season, where they will show one film per month, with a season pass costing $70 for the year. The film night's season runs from September to April.

"We are at a critical point here," said Cunningham.

"We are leaving it up to the audience."

This past winter has

"We are at a critical point here.

We are leaving it up to the audience."

- Film Night International founder Faye Cunningham

seen some bad weather, which has affected turnout, with two screenings being cancelled. "That's a first in 16 years," said Cunningham.

REGULAR OUTING Perth realtor Doug Forde has been attending the film nights for about 15 years, and he has seen the number of entertainment options explode since then.

Circa 2004, "the choices that were available to people, like Netflix, were not there."

Because "my wife and I love movies," the couple began attending the movies, and "we would go to the movies every second week."

The films used to be screened at what was the old Soper theatre on Main Street in Smiths Falls.

"It was an event," Forde said, with a fair contingent of Perth viewers at the screenings.

When the theatre, then known as the Premier Cinemas, closed down in February of 2012, the viewings

split into Smiths Falls and Perth, and he conceded that "that may have had some effect on it (attendance)," he said.

"A lot of people opt to go to Smiths Falls," he said, as the Station Theatre is a newer venue. However, "my wife and I have stayed with the Perth one."

There is also a "demographic change," in effect, he said. "We have not drawn in a lot of younger people."

Forde said he did not want the film night to go the way of the Perth Performing Arts Committee, which also experimented with its subscription model and cut back on shows in 2015 before it closed up shop in 2016. During its 35 years, it brought performers like fiddler Natalie McMaster, pianist Angela Hewitt, and opera diva Maureen Foster to the Perth stage.

Another film club, the Perth Spiritual Cinema Circle, also folded in 2016, after 199 screenings.

SHOWINGS The proceeds from the film nights support the Perth and District Union Public Library as well as the Smiths Falls Public Library. The Perth screenings are currently held on Wednesdays at 2 or 7 p.m. at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., in Perth, while the Smiths Falls screenings are held at the Station Theatre, 53 Victoria Ave., on Thursdays at 2 and 7 p.m.

Tickets are currently $10

for adults, students are $5 (cash at the door only). Because the film nights are a fundraiser, "we don't just want to break event every time," Cunningham said.

"We have expenses we have to cover (at) every screening."

FILM LIST Amongst the films that Forde has seen at the film

nights that stand out for him, include the 2010 UK drama The King's Speech, and the recently-screened Indian movie Sir (2018), and a Canadian movie (set in India) called Amal from 2007.

While The King's Speech could be seen at a big city Cineplex, many of the other films were hidden gems, some of which would not even be seen at the nearest

art house cinema, the Bytowne in Ottawa, he said.

Upcoming films include: • Week of April 24: Mademoiselle de Joncquieres (2018, France) • Week of May 8: What They Had (2018, USA) • Week of May 22: Two is a Family (2016, France) With files from Stacey Roy

Some like it shaken ... not stirred, with two olives.

Jill McKenna, owner of the Crossroads Tearoom in Perth, is hosting Martiniville on Friday nights and it's open to the public.

After launching the event for business owners on Monday evenings, word got out about the experience, so McKenna said she wanted to let the public in on the fun later in the week.

"I wanted to do something to get the business owners together," she said.

"I was in Florida in January and my girlfriend drove up to St. Augustine.

We went to a bar called the Teeny Martini. They have

100 different martinis and that's all they do. We had a blast. And that's what gave me the idea to do it here," she said.

Because she's always been licensed, she felt it would be a perfect time to introduce this new event to the business owners, since many of the stores were closed.

"The last three, they just come in and talk - the last one we talked about how (Festival of the Maples) went. Everyone came and talked about business: maybe there's a shoplifter in town, or a big event coming up. No one else is allowed in unless they're a merchant and their staff, and it's only for 4 to 7 p.m."

McKenna said word got out, especially when her

THERE'S VALUE IN SHOPPING AT THE PERTH FARMERS' MARKET It's time to bust the myth of farmers' markets as a boutique shopping experience. Local markets are a place for community to come together, to connect rural and urban fabrics, to support local entrepreneurship, and of course, to find really tasty food.

Does food waste and grocery store prices have you panicking? Come visit the Saturday morning market starting on opening day, May 11 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Crystal Palace to experience the true value in purchasing your food locally, beyond just the price.

You'll find information on cooking, storage techniques, and a connection with the growers. Prices at the market may be higher than bottom of the barrel sale prices in the grocery store, but you'll find that prices are often on-par, sometimes even cheaper.

However, the added rewards include superior flavour, extended storage ability due to the freshness of the products, knowledge that products are produced in a sustainable manner and the variety of products offered each week.

By dealing directly with the market's vendors you can ask questions about the products they provide to confirm how they are grown, raised, or made.

Facebook/Perth Farmers' Market The Perth Farmers Market is opening for the season on May 11 at 8 a.m. Enjoy fresh produce and talk to local growers each Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. right through to October.

Many of our customers have developed personal relationships with our vendors and return on a weekly basis to take advantage of the products offered each week.

Today's market is an experience of local flavour and culture. The Perth Farmers' Market hosts more than 30 vendors from May to October with many different talents. Beyond locally grown seedlings, fresh produce, preserves, ferments, meats, baked goods, maple syrup and honey, you can pick up an original art piece or try

ready-to-eat foods featuring local and global meals.

The market will be hosting a family fun zone, as well as several special events with local artisan demonstrations and food tasting competitions to participate in.

This year's schedule includes: blacksmithing, silversmithing, fibre weaving, honey bee production, tomato tasting, heritage animals, watershed awareness, and more.

Stay tuned to the Perth Farmers' Market website www.perthfarmersmarket.ca and Facebook page for dates and details.

RAISE HELL IF RESTRUCTURING CRIPPLES RURAL SERVICES The devil is in the details.

And many of the details could be devilishly devastating to rural areas in the province.

The provincial budget brought down April 11 included a few shocks but nothing too unexpected from a government elected to put Ontario's finances on a solid footing.

However, some of the more vague statements turn out to be not so benign.

Since budget day, Ontarians have been reeling from new revelations almost every day about another important service being diminished or restructured.

Word trickled out the number of health units would be reduced from 35 to 10 with their budgets slashed by almost a third, followed by confirmation 52 ambulance services would be melded into 10. There are also new details about cuts to teachers' jobs, library support services, legal aid and conservation authorities.

However, there are still plenty of unknowns about how the cuts will be rolled out and what the effect will be on those relying on the services.

Proposed centralization of the paramedic service justifiably makes folks nervous. For the last few years, rural politicians around Ottawa have been speaking out as their ambulances are ordered into the city to try to compensate for shortages there, leaving country folks vulnerable.

If ambulance services in Lanark counties are rolled into one Ottawa-centric service, will rural representatives still be able to forcefully advocate for their residents or will their voices become a minority and be lost in the shuffle (as happened with the Local Health Integration Networks)?

Questions could be asked of the proposed centralization of health units. Rural and urban priorities often clash when it comes to issues health units deal with, as what may be acceptable in the city might be viewed as an invasion of rights to country folks.

Integration can work if changes result in cost-savings, efficiencies and effective governance taking into account both urban and rural needs. If all it causes is turmoil, rancour and a loss of rural programs and rights, then the approach will fail. And too often in the past, such centralization initiatives faltered because rural services and property taxpayers were disadvantaged or ignored.

So in the next few months when the provincial government starts implementing the details of its restructuring of paramedic services and health units, as well as in other areas, it's important local representatives are genuinely consulted. And it's critical the public support and push them to forcefully defend programs such as community paramedicine and ensure governance includes adequate rural representation.

When the devil in the details becomes apparent, it's important both municipal and county officials, along with our rural MPPs, stand up for our programs and rights, even if they have to play the devil's advocate.

If not, there will be the devil to pay.

“This is something that people can work on together.

Yes, we should be planting trees and other types of living foliage but there needs to be some cuts to fix the debt created by the

previous government. It sucks that not everybody can be accommodated and there are going to be some losses. Having said that, if your primary sales are coming from public money, you should do a better job of connecting with private industry/individuals and adapt a new business model.

It is not the taxpayer’s responsibility to ensure the success of your business. It is not the taxpayer’s responsibility to ensure the success of any business.”

CROSSROADS TEAROOM This cute little tearoom celebrates its English roots, and this year marks 15 years in business, including 10 years in Balderson. They've only been in Perth for five years. Refurbished down to its original tin ceilings and walls, the place is decorated with vintage china teapots, antiques, linens and hats, and the old upright piano is used daily.

"My mother, Pam Sangster (who is from Watford, England), worked with me here, and she was a server," she said. "She can't do it anymore, though."

Her daughter, Alex Mason, works full-time at the tearoom. Mason, who was a flight attendant living across the country, came back home to Lanark County.

"When she was 14, she started serving at the tearoom," McKenna said. "It was sad that my mom couldn't anymore, because she loved it! It's nice that my daughter is here."

Sangster, when she retired from Eaton's after 35 years, worked for McKenna in Stittsville when she had an antique and craft store. She did that for 10 years.

"When we moved here, she came to work at the tearoom. She was the hostess

NEWS

ONTARIO GENERAL STRIKE HITS PERTH ON MAY DAY DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com An old protest banner from the Mike Harris days was brought out of retirement for a May Day protest in Perth.

Perth activist Matthew

Behrens had been part of a protest group (Witness for Social Justice and Compassion) that planted the banner - which reads "Stop the War Against the Poor" - on the front lawn of Queen's Park in Toronto from September 1995 to October 2003.

The banner, which still bears the hand prints of Behrens' then-six-yearold daughter, Kate Smith, was brought out of storage on May 1 as part of Perth's part in the Ontario-wide 'general strike' protesting provincial government cutbacks.

"It's a timeless banner," said Behrens, standing with other protesters at the intersection of Wilson Street and Highway 7. "We built it to last!" Looking at the bright red banner, he

remarked: "It's a part of Ontario history."

Even though Ernie Eves left the premier's office in 2003, and Harris in 2002, "I'm still really pissed off," said Behrens. "Ford is making Harris look like a Liberal! It's sad that we have to do this."

He said he was most "concerned" about growing homelessness, hunger, and cuts to programming for autistic children. And as the rain fell that morning, "look at the flooding!"

Linda Tranter was one of the organizers of the Perth protest, which only came together on Thursday, April 25.

"It was completely grassroots," said Tranter, holding two of her homemade signs, which she was up until 2 a.m. working on.

She and her friends had seen their "griping" grow into being more "upset," and then they decided that "we have to do something.

It is time to do a protest ...

We joined the provincial strike after the fact."

She said she was "very concerned about the cuts," covering everything from libraries to legal aid, education to health.

"Rural communities have been hit hard," said Tranter.

She has seen the cutbacks for herself. She had to pay a $57 prescription fee

Desmond Devoy/Torstar Protester Matthew Behrens brought this old protest banner out of storage for the May Day protests at the intersection of Highway 7 and Wilson Street in Perth. This sign was used on the front lawn of Queen's Park in Toronto as a near-constant protest against the Harris/Eves governments from 1995 to 2003. for her child's medication, where the same medication would have been covered by the province a year ago.

"I can afford it," Tranter said. "But not everyone can."

Anne Duchesne was out on the sidewalk, because of the end of the interlibrary loan program. She needs to access large-print books from the library, and the local library only has so many in stock.

"I'd like to challenge

(Lanark County's) mayors and reeves in the county to challenge Ford to restore interlibrary loans," the former college professor said, as she held a sign exclaiming "Books/Trees, Not Beer/Pot," though she hastened to add with a hearty laugh, "not that I have anything against beer or pot!"

"It affects more than just leisure readers," she continued. She charged that the Ford government "were not living with today's reality."

NEWS

MENTAL HEALTH CALLS ON THE RISE Continued from page 1

erated six calls for service.

A detailed analysis of the first five cases referred to the Situation Table went even further, showing that there was a reduction of 174 officer hours for those individuals in the first 14 months following their referral, from 381 to 207. Prereferral, that cohort was "accused, apprehended, arrested or charged" 44 times, according to Needham's overhead notes.

Post-referral, that number dropped to 16, a reduction of 63.6 per cent.)

Many years ago, the OPP realized they needed to have more collaboration between the two agencies the OPP and Lanark County Mental Health. "By building relationships with clients ... we are not going to criminalize mental illness." Further to this, these relationships would also help address "gaps" in the system.

The nurses are paid for in part by a provincial Pro-

ceeds of Crime grant and by a one-off grant by the Champlain LHIN (Local Health Integration Network). Needham said he hopes to secure more sustainable funding for three registered mental health nurses in the future.

There is, however, still work to be done.

Out of 155 referrals accepted by the Situation Table so far, some of the risk categories presented stand out, in particular mental health, criminal involvement and drug abuse.

The idea of bringing the Situation Table model to Lanark County flowed out of an OAPSB conference in Toronto in 2014, with the goal of bringing "multiple human-service agencies together to collectively identify systemic issues and risk factors prevalent locally and provide a network of support for vulnerable populations in our community in order to prevent crisis situations," according to Needham's projection notes. While the

THE ISSUE: THERE IS A NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH NURSES ON STAFF AT LANARK COUNTY OPP LOCAL IMPACT: MENTAL HEALTH CALLS FOR SERVICE HAVE RISEN IN LANARK COUNTY FROM 465 IN 2015 TO 650 IN 2018, AND THOSE IN NEED ARE GETTING THE HELP REQUIRED model had been used mostly in urban settings, after hearing a speaker talk about how it was used in North Bay, "we decided we can do this in Lanark County."

One of the frustrations in getting a system set up,

or in getting agencies to talk to each other, was in getting agencies to share information that would not breach confidentiality and privacy legislation. They found out that sharing details about cases could work as long as privacy was respected. Once that perceived barrier was removed, "we didn't have to beg anyone to attend," the first meeting, he said. "Every one of them said yes."

NURSES' EXPERTISE Needham said it was decided to go with mental health nurses rather than

social workers "because of that medical aspect to it," he said. Nurses may be "a little more expensive than social workers," but they are worth the cost as a long-term investment.

There is an added benefit, in that officers and their

families have access to the mental health nurses to deal with their own issues, should any arise.

"They work tirelessly," said Needham of the work done by the two nurses at the detachment - Robin Garreau and Morgan Crew.

North Grenville Coun.

Doreen O'Sullivan, a nurse who sits on her municipality's police services board, asked Needham about the nurses' schedules, since "mental health issues don't happen Monday to Friday, nine-to-five," she said.

Needham replied that they work staggered shifts and try to cover as much as they can. The department also uses analytics to look at peak times for mental health demands.

See more of this story at www.insideottatavalley.com.

STORY BEIND THE STORY

It started with one mental health nurse on staff at the Lanark County OPP detachment, and then a second nurse was brought on to help with the hundreds of calls the OPP were getting where mental health was a component in the case. Now that two nurses are on staff, those in need of assistance who show mental health issues, are directed to the proper services. This newspaper wanted to see how many of these calls have been redirected.

OK, DRYER, I THINK WE ARE READY FOR YOU STEPHANIE GRAY LAMENTS ABOUT LAUNDRY APPLIANCES STEPHANIE GRAY Column

New appliances are both exhilarating and terrifying, don't you think?

We recently had to break down and replace our broken-down washing machine and we turfed its unpredictable companion dryer, too, because it was a stackable set and repair costs in recent years for both items could probably have replaced them both long ago.

Neither Groom-boy nor I can remember exactly how old the washer and dryer were, but we think they were less than 10 years. I remember thinking when we got them how much fun the kids would have had watching the front loader when they were younger. Hours of entertainment.

Within the last year, the pump quit on the washer. There was a lot of clotheswringing during that period. And some hand-wringing.

We got it repaired - we have a great repair guy - and things were working fine.

But the new pump was noisier. This is no biggie, except our laundry facilities are in the kitchen, which is next to the den, which is where the TV is. So, I try not to do laundry during the news because I can't hear it.

Plus, the news is on during peak electricity times, so it's expensive, so it was mostly fine.

Ahem.

It seemed, over time, that the noise was getting louder. I can say this with some authority because I am half deaf. It was likely not a miracle cure.

Not only that, but the noise was different. The new pump was working as hard as before in its noisy way, but now the washing machine sounded a bit like the air ambulance taking off in the kitchen. And it clanged and banged sometimes. Plus, there was a bit of a greasy smell going on.

I am no expert, but my diagnosis was that whatever it was, it was going to be expensive. It was time to say goodbye. And when we moved the machine to prepare for its replacement, the puddle of powdery jetblack gunk on the floor backed up my theory.

Groom-boy stepped up to the task and investigated brands and models and reviews. I watched skeptically from the sidelines, convinced that, basically, it's a crapshoot. All brands can be good or bad.

Something is bound to go wrong. Might as well brace for impact now.

Case in point: When we originally got the laundry machines that we just sent away, the brand-new dryer didn't work. I'd rather go without a dryer than a washer, but getting that dryer in working order was a long, complicated, annoying process.

So ... was I being a pessimist or a realist?

Maybe a little of both.

When the new set arrived, things went really well until it was time to hook up the dryer. The stackable units fit fine in the space where they live, but they were both slightly taller than the old units. This posed two problems: if we installed the vent material we had, the units would stick out into the kitchen by an extra foot. Small kitchen ... not good. And, more importantly, the heavy-duty dryer cord wouldn't reach the plug no matter what. It was off by about an inch.

Seriously?

I'd rather go without a dryer than a washer, but it's been raining a lot lately.

The venting issue was fairly easy to solve with some new supplies and geometry. (Stay in math class, kids.) The plug issue required a visit from an electrician.

FLOWERS HAD MISS CROSBY SNEEZING LOUDLY, MARY COOK RECALLS MARY COOK Column

Bad Marguerite was at it again, always trying to get on the good side of Miss Crosby.

Often her actions didn't work out though.

There was the time my brother Emerson stole the homemade doughnut she brought the teacher. Marguerite made the mistake of leaving it on her own desk at morning recess, meaning to give it to Miss Crosby when we were having our lunch. Everyone could see her, and that's what Marguerite liked ... lots of attention. Well, when Emerson was walking past Marguerite's desk, he crammed the whole thing into his mouth, and it was gone before he reached the back door!

Of course, he did it so sneakily Marguerite didn't know who to blame, but she blamed Rocky, who was known to latch onto things that didn't belong to him. But Rocky had no idea what she was talking about.

Well, here she was again. On a sunny and warm early spring day in May, she arrived at school just before Miss Crosby appeared on the step to ring the big brass bell. Marguerite had in her hand something wrapped in wax paper, and she had no intention of telling us what it was, but when we went into the school, she went right up to the teacher's desk, and plopped it right down on top of the attendance book. She didn't want Miss Crosby to miss it.

Just before we took our seats, Marguerite jabbed her finger in the general direction of the parcel, and the teacher had no choice but to unwrap it. It was a bunch of daffodils and what looked like weeds to me, and some green leaves.

Then the fun began. Miss Crosby threw back her head and let go with a sneeze that could be heard over in Admaston! Several more loud sneezes followed, and Miss Crosby quickly moved over to the window where the pencil sharpener was anchored, threw open a window, and set right in to morning prayers and the Bible reading, wiping her nose at the same time never going back to her desk.

The flowers lay opened on her desk, but she avoided going anywhere near them. She even called for recess way before the old CPR clock on the wall said it was time.

That day, no one was allowed to stay in the school. My sister Audrey in Senior Fourth said recess went an extra 10 minutes, which suited me just fine.

When we went back into school, there was no sign of the flowers. But we could sure smell Lifebuoy soap!

And over in the corner where the big green tin waste paper basket stood, we saw what was left of Marguerite's gift to Miss Crosby. You didn't have to be a university graduate to know what was sticking out of the basket. It was a big parcel thickly wrapped in many pages of the Renfrew Mercury, well away from Miss Crosby's nose!

Bad Marguerite, for once, had the common sense not to ask the teacher what happened to her flowers. It was a long time before she brought anything else to the teacher!

God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered “Peace be thine”.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

horoscopes ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Reconciliation is important, Aries. That’s especially so if you know you have been in the wrong. Others will respect you much more for your ability to make up and move on.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Sharing deep feelings with others can be healing, Cancer. Just be sure to choose your confidantes wisely, as the right mentor can make all the difference.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Creative things catch your eye this week, Libra.

Make it a point to stroll through an art gallery or catch a foreign film. Your appreciation for the arts will only grow.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you are considering a financial undertaking that takes you out of your comfort zone. Don’t hesitate, as there’s no reward without a little risk.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 It’s time to showcase all of your talents to an authority figure who can push you toward success, Taurus. All you need is a little reinforcement.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Spending quality time with a particular person who is close to you will brighten your week, Leo. It’s just the change of pace you need to put a smile on your face.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Calling your own shots is perfect for you. The idea of working independently is very attractive to you this week. Give it some thought.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Fresh experiences are on the way, and you are craving an opportunity to broaden your horizons, Gemini. Sign up for classes or get a new hobby to open your eyes to new things.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You are more than willing to take on extra work that needs to be done to get a project completed, Virgo. Your team-first attitude is not going unnoticed or unappreciated.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Hobbies and leisure time activities with friends will provide a welcome break from work, Sagittarius. Use these opportunities to reconnect with people you care about.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Speaking your mind is par for the course, as Aquarians tend to be opinionated. You have the ability to win over others without making them feel pressured in any way.
