Did you know that one in five
Canadians wilt experience a
mental illness in their
lifetime?
Mental illness and addiction are
more common than you think, yet
ignorance and the stigma
associated with these diseases
often prevents those who need it
most from getting help.

Singin 7 in the rain
A downpour hit as Goderich-based band Perish (with former Brussels natives, Rob McKercher
on drums and guitarist Joshua Gropp) began their set at Huronstock in Clinton on Saturday.
The event had to be cut short for safety reasons. As well as being a launch for the new youth-
driven website www.youthspark.ca proceeds from the event went to the MILL (The Joey
DePutter Memorial Musical Instrument Lending Library). Joey died in a tragic motor vehicle
crash. He had always wanted to take piano lessons but never had the opportunity. After his
death his mother, Kim, wanted to help others achieve their dreams in music and the arts. A
conversation with a Kingston man who founded the Joe Chithalen Memorial MILL offered
direction. (Vicky Bremner photo)

Over 300 attend Huronstock
Rockin' at Huronstoek
The threat of rain that clouded most of the afternoon at
Saturday's Huronstock began to break out just as Absence
of Presence, which includes, Ben Douglas, left, and
Nathian Burke, took the stage. The light drizzle didn't deter
the musicians or the fans through the set, however. The
event was held to promote the new website
www.youthspark.ca, a site that offers insight into and help
with tough issues such as drug abuse, binge drinking and
depression. The interactive site offers personal stories,
local information and events, open forums for young
people and professional answers to questions. (Vicky Bremner

Huronstock rocked, and the people
listened!
The Huron County Health Unit
held this launch party for the new
SPARK website on Saturday at the
Clinton grandstands.
According to event organizer
Sherri Bezaire, over 300 youth
ignored the rain and turned out for
the concert.

There were 10 1/2 tables of euchre
players on hand Saturday.
The first-place winners were Janet
Davies and Gloria Lowe with 72
points. In second were Ariel Wood
and Hazel McGongile with 70
points. Third place went to John and
Iola Subject with 66 points.
Not so lucky at cards were Jean
Bewley and Elunid McNair who
took low prize. Lone hand prizes
went to Ken Engel and Maxine Hinz.
Euchre is every two weeks.
"We were very pleased with the
turnout of the event," says Bezaire.
"The youth were having a great time
and were asking us when we are
going to do it again!"
Proceeds from the event will go to
the Musical Instrument Lending
Library (MILL). The SPARK team
was'also able to help the cause.
The SPARK team would like to
thank everyone who supported
Huronstock. Special thanks go to
Do and Wi ldfong Peter
