Now, she hopes to give others the same chance. Singer/songwriter Souch, daugh- ter of St. Marys residents Roy and June Blanshard, has been travelling around Southwestern Ontario in re- cent weeks, promoting a 12 -song cassette of her music called Let's Open the Window. She financed the whole project, including recording time pro- fessional musicians, to the tune of $5,800. She hopes to recoverr costs, then donate the rest to the Huron County branch of the Ca- nadian Mental Health Association (CMHA). Souch, a Seaforth resident, has been volunteering with CMHA Hu- ron for two years. For the past nine months, she's been a paid part-time employee in public education and fundraising. Her work has made her realize that mental health is just as im- portant as physical health. Un- fortunately, most people don't treat it that way. Precious Blood Cash Calendar Winners Aug. 14 $50.

But they don't, because they are afraid, in a lot of cases justifiably, that others will think they're "crazy" and treat them differently. - "There's no shame in getting in- formation, but a lot of people won't reach out for help because of that stigma," Souch says. The cassette's theme song, Let's Open the Window, deals with that issue. "Let's open the Window" de- clares the chorus, "chase away the old ideas that have stood in our way...freshen up our lives and chase our fears away." Windows have opened for Souch recently. Not only has her work at CMHA allowed her sot see mental health in a different Tight, she has also rediscovered the joy of music. "I've been playing guitar since I was 10 and writing songs since my early teens. Then, when I got to my mid-20s, I decided 1 wanted to do something with (my talent)," she said. She placed a classified ad in the local paper, asking for musicians to join her in a band, playing "new" country and old rock and roll mu- sic. Response was swift, and she now sings and plays guitar for a five -piece ensemble called Neon NOW DOING POOL CLOSINGS Mlddegaal 3Juiit4 • Sales • Service • Installation 527-0104 234 MAIN ST. N.

The band won a contest at the Wingham Homecoming in July, earning $1,000 and eight hours of studio recording time. Souch says they hope to record a demo tape with that windfall, including two cover songs and two originals. A full length recording may be in the future for Neon- Blue, some- thing they can promote as they play live shows. Up until now, they have been playing mostly Huron County venues. O,t her own, Souch sang for CKNX TV's "country video dance party" earlier this month, and wrote a song called The World is an Open Book for the Clinton Literacy Fes- tival in July. - Right now, however, Souch's CMHA work is taking up a consid- erable amount of her time. During the school year, she performed in Huron schools promoting the as- sociation's programs. Some of the songs on Let's Open the Window are geared towards kids. Living Colour is based on a CMHA project by the same name, that promotes self-esteem in ad- olescents. Another song encourages people, especially youngsters, to build up their. confidence for a task that might, at first, seem impossible. It's called Swinging Bridge and it's based on Souch's St. Marys child- hood. She remembers working up the courage to finally cross the old pe- destrian bridge that used to cross Trout Creek below Huron Street. "On the way to school and I would be late, so I took the shortcut that I used to hate," Souch recalls in the song. The .Seaforth resident displays her songwriting gift on the cassette. The tracks are all from the soft rock/country genre, but there's suf- ficient variation to keep you en- tertained, even if you want a quiet listen without worrying about the message. Let's Open the Window was re- leased in mid-June after about 60 hours of recording at Stratford's Signature Sound. One thousand copies were made, and Souch has sold about 100 so far, just by word •of mouth. If anyone in this area wants a copy, they can call the CMHA Hu- ron Branch at 1-482-9311.
