Chapleau Moments

by MichaelJ. Morris

Charlie Purich gives Keith J. 'Buddy' Swansonthecreditforteachinghimthe"fineart of goal scoring" back in the 1960s when he was playingfortheChapleauHuskies.

Charlie, back in those days, was also referredtoas"thecatalyst"oftheChapleauHigh School(CHS-TEEM),whichplayedinthetown leagueandagainstothercompetition.

In a recent exchange of email telling me that Laurentian University was reviving its hockeyprogramandthathewouldbetravelling to Sudbury on March 28 for a fundraiser and alumni game, Charlie also advised that as he played for Laurentian in 1965, he could just be "theveteran"ontheblades.Charliestillplaysina Hamilton Oldtimers' League and is the leading scoreronhisteam.

agedbyJimmyDillonin1964,theHuskieswon the Northern Ontario Hockey Association (NOHA) Intermediate "C" title but upped the antein1965,thefirstyeartherewasartificialice intheChapleauMemorialArena,andenteredthe Intermediate "B" category, playing for the Max SilvermanTrophy.

The Huskies won the Max Silverman Trophy defeating the Espanola KVees in a two gametotalgoalstocountseriesplayedonthenew artificial ice in the memorial arena. They had defeatedtheWawaIronmenthreegamestoonein thesemi-finalseries.

Obviously, Buddy taught the fine art of goal scoring to many players, including Jim St. Amand,whowas19atthetimeandscoredfour goalsinthefinaltwogameseries.

Inthefinals,theHuskiesplayedwithout Earle Freeborn, Merrick Goldstein and Gerard Pilon, all of whom had suffered injuries in the Wawaseries.

To honour the champions, the Township ofChapleauhostedabanquetfortheHuskiesin the Legion Hall. In his welcoming remarks, Reeve F.A. 'Nick' Card said the victory meant a "new beginning" for hockey in Chapleau with Cont’donP.7

When Charlie told me that Buddy had taughthimthefineartofgoalscoring,Igotback tohim,askingifhewouldonceagainexplainthe "breakaway pass" he learned from his hockey mentor.

Charlie replied: "Speed toward the net. Atthelastsecondaharddrifttotheleftwhilethe goalieflops. Continuetodriftuntilthegoalieis flat on the ice. Lift the puck over him and throughthespacebetweenthepostandhisraised stick. KeithSwansonspecial. Athingofbeauty toseehimperformthatmove."

REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa

October10thwasWorldMentalHealthDay. Mentalhealthisavitalpartofeveryone'shealthand wellbeing, yet we don't frequently treat it with the samelevelofcareorconcernthatwetreataspectsof physicalhealth.Itcanoftenbedifficultforpeopleto knowwhentheyneedassistancewithmentalhealth, andwhentheydoseekassistanceit'sanuphillbattle to ensure they get the help from a trained mental healthprofessionalinatimelymanner.

It'simportanttonotethedistinctionbetween mental health and mental illness. Mental health is like other forms of physical health that must on occasion be maintained but does not necessarily mean an illness is present. A person who has experienced trauma, for example, may not necessarily have a mental illness, but may need assistancewiththeirmentalhealth.Mentalillnessis generallyassociatedmorewithspecificlonger-term disorders.

Mental health problems are quite common. One in five Canadians have had a mental health problem in their lifetime, but less than one-third of

WeNeedtoTakeMentalHealthSeriously

those have sought help. A significant number of peopleinneedofmentalhealthservicesaren'tgetting the help they need. The most frequent barriers that preventpeoplefromseekingmentalhealthservices, according to the Mental Health Commission of Canada,arefinancialconstraintsandwaitlists.While some mental health services are provided under public health insurance, such as treatment from a psychiatrist or general practitioner, other assistance may not be, such as psychotherapy from a private practice. Last year, a Canadian Institute of Health Information study showed that half of Canadians referredformentalhealthserviceswaitedamonthor longer.

If mental health care is as necessary as the data suggests and access is a significant barrier for people seeking mental health services, then clearly we need to do more to make sure those services are readily available. We must first ensure that mental health services across the country are adequately fundedtoensurewebringdownlengthywaittimes.

Last year, the Liberal government committed to deliver $4.5 billion over five years in targetedimprovementstomentalhealthservices,but we are still waiting for the details of this plan to emerge.Acosting of their platform shows that they promised to spend $250-million in 2021 on a new mental health transfer to provinces, an additional $625-million in the 2022-23 fiscal year, and the remaining$3.625billioninthefollowingthreeyears.

Investments have yet to be made and we are still

awaiting those details.These are not small amounts andit'sclearthatdevelopinganationalmentalhealth plan takes time and effort, but it's important to get helptopeoplewhoneeditnow.

In November, there will be a rollout of the 988 crisis line for suicide prevention, which should hopefullybegreattooltohelpsavelives,butwealso needservicesforpeoplewhoarenotnecessarilyata crisispoint.

In the interim, there are still concrete steps that can be taken to help people with mental health services now. One thing we can do immediately is remove GST/HST that counselling therapists and psychotherapists are required to charge to their patients. While this would not remedy the cost burdenpatientsarefeelingtoaccessthoseservices,it issomethingthatcouldsavepeoplefairlysignificant money and could be implemented without delay, without requiring a broad plan, as it would simply savepeopleamountsofmoneythatwouldotherwise bepaidintaxes.

More broadly, we must also continue to pressure the government to implement a universal public pharmacare plan that would extend to prescription medication for mental health care. Mentalhealthcaremustbecomprehensiveenoughto ensurethatallaspectsarecoveredundertheCanada HealthAct.

It's time we tackle mental health care so all Canadianshavetherespectandsupporttheydeserve.

Nousdevonsprendrelasantémentaleausérieux

La Journée mondiale de la santé mentale a eu lieu le 10 octobre dernier. Bien que la santé mentale fasse partie intégrante de la santé et du bien-être, il est rarequenousluiaccordionslamêmeimportancequela santé physique. Les gens ont souvent du mal à déterminer quand ils doivent demander du soutien en santémentaleet,lorsqu'ilslefont,ilspeinentàobtenir l'aided'unprofessionnelqualifiéentempsopportun.

Il est important de distinguer la santé mentale de la maladie mentale. À l'instar d'autres aspects de la santéphysique,lasantémentaledoitparfoisfairel'objet d'une attention particulière, mais ce n'est pas nécessairement un indicateur de maladie mentale. Une personnequiasubiuntraumatisme,parexemple,n'est pas forcément atteinte d'une maladie mentale, mais pourrait avoir besoin de soutien psychologique. De façon générale, la maladie mentale est davantage associéeàdestroublespersistants.

Les problèmes de santé mentale sont assez courants.Eneffet,unCanadiensurcinqasouffertd'un problème de santé mentale au cours de sa vie, mais moins du tiers d'entre eux ont demandé de l'aide. Un grand nombre de personnes qui ont besoin de services de santé mentale ne reçoivent pas l'aide nécessaire.

SelonlaCommissiondelasantémentaleduCanada,les contraintes financières et les listes d'attente constituent les obstacles les plus fréquents. Bien que certains servicesdesantémentalesoientcouvertsparlerégime public d'assurance-maladie, comme les traitements dispensés par un psychiatre ou un omnipraticien,

d'autresformesd'aidepeuventnepasl'être,commeles services de psychothérapie en pratique privée. L'an dernier, une étude de l'Institut canadien d'information sur la santé a révélé que la moitié des Canadiens aiguillés vers des services de santé mentale ont été confrontésàdestempsd'attented'unmoisouplus.

Si les soins en santé mentale sont aussi nécessaires que les données le laissent entendre et que l'accès constitue un obstacle important à l'obtention de services en santé mentale, il est clair que nous devons faire davantage pour rendre ces services plus accessibles. Nous devons d'abord veiller à ce que les services de santé mentale partout au pays soient financés adéquatement pour réduire les longs délais d'attente.

L'an dernier, le gouvernement libéral s'est engagé à investir 4,5 milliards de dollars sur cinq ans dans des améliorations ciblées des services de santé mentale, mais les détails de ce plan se font toujours attendre. Selon l'établissement des coûts de sa plateforme, le gouvernement a promis d'injecter 250 millionsdedollarsen2021et625millionsdedollarsau cours de l'exercice 2022-2023 pour la création d'un nouveau transfert aux provinces en matière de santé mentale, et de verser les 3,625 milliards restants au cours des trois années suivantes. Toutefois, les investissements tardent à venir et nous attendons toujours les détails. Ces sommes ne sont pas négligeableset,bienquel'élaborationd'unplannational enmatièredesantémentaleexigetempsetefforts,ilest
