shown that by reducing the stigma associ- ated with mental illness, earlier identifica- tion and treatment will be sought not only for the individual but family members as well. Two health promoters work in schools in Prescott-Russell and Stormont-Dundas- Glengarry. During the tournament, the program’s achievements were also underscored. Between 2004 and 2013, promoters de- livered 1,000 TAMI presentations to 22,267 grades 11 and 12 students. In 2012, workshops were developed for grades 7 and 8 students. The branch deliv- ered 34 presentations to 721 intermediate
students, and added this age group to its school base programs. Staff conducted 265 student interventions as a result of self identification with mental health is- sues or that of a friend or a family member. About 40 per cent of CMHA student referrals are a direct result of the school base program that is being delivered in the high schools and alternative schools. These referrals are either self-directed, meaning a student phoned or walked in to the CMHA office following a presenta- tion or they were referred by a teacher, parent or a community member.

Certain leaves can also be a substitute for toilet paper. But, as Calder stressed, common-sense precau- tions must always be taken. Certain plants can make you sick. Contact with wild pars- nip can leave a person with painful blisters. Stinging nettle can be made into a tea or served as a main dish, but gloves should be worn when handling the raw plant. Foragers ought to do their homework by using identification books to know what they are picking. Calder, who lives in Dun- vegan, has been giving wild edible presen- tations since 1988 at places such as Cooper Marsh, Upper Migratory Bird Sanctuary, Apple Hill Forestry Interpretation Centre, St. Lawrence River Institute of Environmen- tal Sciences, among countless smaller or- ganizations and fairs.

CURRAN | Mental health services in East- ern Ontario continue to get a huge boost from a fun and popular fund-raising tra- dition. The 10th anniversary edition of the Sub- way Brunet Golf Tournament at The Nation Golf Club near Curran last Friday was an- other huge success, raising $50,000 for the Champlain East branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association. Since its inception, the event, organized by Pascal, Jacques and Christian Brunet, has collected more than $300,000 for ef- forts to reduce the impact mental illness has on the community. Such contributions are vital for the pro- grams that require about $200,000 annu- ally to operate, notes Joanne Moshonas, manager, mental health promotion, with the regional unit of the CMHA. The organi- zation relies on private sector backing and United Way funds to cover its expenses. “We would not be able to keep providing our services with the help of Subway Bru- net,” she reiterates. “People really believe in the cause,”notes Pascal Brunet, whose family owns 11 Sub- way restaurants in the district. Each year, 153 players, the maximum allowed, sign up for the tourney. Some players actually register a year in advance. The first year, the tournament netted about $15,000. “Every year, the total keeps going up,” said Brunet, who had hoped to raise $45,000 this year. The tournament also provides the op- portunity to raise awareness about mental illness, a problem that is particularly acute in this area, where the suicide rate is dou- ble the provincial average. Working with schools and businesses, the CMHA coordinates activities that are designed to educate and improve atti- tudes towards mental illness, promote mental health and prevent mental illness. “People are also realizing more and more that we have a social responsibility to help those who have a mental illness,” observes Moshonas. Like any other condition, a mental ail- ment can affect the workplace, notes Moshonas. More businesses are benefit- ing from CMHA’s work-based services to manage stress and to identify and help distressed employees. The primary target group is high school students, who are offered the Talking About Mental Illness (TAMI) program in- tended to dispel common misconceptions regarding mental illnesses and those liv- ing with a mental illness. Topics include types of mental disorders, suicide aware- ness and prevention, stress management and youth testimonials. Studies have

DUNVEGAN | If you go outdoors today, chances are you will come across some- thing wild that can be converted into food. Most people will notice the obvious low- hanging fruit, such as berries, cherries and plums. However, sustenance also lies below the surface, noted expert Peggi Calder said during a presentation on wild edibles Sun- day at the Glengarry Pioneer Museum in Dunvegan. Plants that are widely regarded as weeds can be dug up and transformed into a tasty snack. For example, the broadleaf plantain root is one of the many tubers that can be eaten, once they have been properly cooked. Visitors packed the one-room school-
