Professionals and lay people will share new information about causes and effects of suicide, including depression and bipolar disorder, at the Fifth Annual Erik Cogswell Memorial Conference, tak- ing place on Thursday, May 5. The conference, titled “Surviving and Preventing Suicide,” will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Faro Gar- dens Conference Center, located on Route 1 in Hampton Falls. It is spon- sored by Seacoast Mental Health Center, the Erik Cogswell Memorial Fund, NAMI Family York Maine and the Suicide Prevention Partnership. The keynote speaker will be Bev Cobain, a regis- tered nurse with credentials in psychiatric/ mental health nursing. Her own struggle with depression and the suicides of three family members — most recently the 1994 death of her young cousin, Kurt Cobain, front man for the popular band, Nirvana — ignited a passion in Bev to educate professionals, lay persons, and youth about depression and the signifi- cant public health issue of suicide. A resident of Costa Rica and the mother of two sons, Bev Cobain is the author of “When Nothing Matters Anymore: A Survival Guide for Depressed Teens.” This powerful book is her way of dealing with Kurt’s death, and reaching out to teens with a life-saving message: You don’t have to be sad, discouraged, or depressed. There is help SMHC conference focuses on suicide causes, effects and hope for you. During her visit to the Seacoast, she will also conduct a work- shop at Portsmouth High School on Friday, May 6. The Annual Erik Cogswell Memorial Confer- ence was designed to raise community awareness so the stigma attached to bipo- lar disorder and other men- tal illnesses won’t prevent people from living every- day life or working toward recovery. The 2005 confer- ence will address issues of “Preventing and Surviving Suicide.” If untreated, the rate of suicide among bipo- lar disorder patients is at least five times that of the general population. But evi- dence indicates that treat- ment with effective medications plus regular counseling reduces this risk. “A full spectrum of resources will be presented that will appeal to all age groups and types of partici- pants, from seasoned pro- fessionals to individuals who may have just been diagnosed, or their fami- lies,” says Diane Cyr, a Sea- coast Mental Health Center Family Advocate who coor- dinates the conference and the monthly Bipolar Disor- der Support Group. Conference attendees will represent a broad range of personal interests and experiences brought togeth- er because suicide has touched their lives in some way. In addition to the speakers, the conference will feature a Resource Exhibition to provide addi- tional information and sup- port. Noted leaders in the field will participate in panel discussions and pre- sentations, including Alan Berman, Ph.D., executive director of the American Association of Suicidology; Elaine Frank, co-chair of the Youth Suicide Prevention Assembly; Ken Norton of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill NH, working on the “Frameworks” youth suicide prevention project; and Effie Malley, program director of the Suicide Pre- vention Partnership. The annual Erik Cogswell Memorial Confer- ence was created in memory of a young man who suf- fered from bipolar disorder and died by suicide. Since its inception in 2000, the conference has annually gathered experts in the field along with individuals who are affected by the illness and their families and care- takers. One of the many positive outcomes was the creation of a Bipolar Sup- port Group that meets monthly at the Community Campus in Portsmouth. Bipolar disorder affects people’s thoughts, feelings, perceptions and behavior — even how a person feels physically. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, almost two million Americans suf- fer from bipolar disorder. Also known as manic- depressive illness, episodes of depression alternate or mix with periods of mania. Although many effective treatments are available, bipolar disorder is often not properly recognized and treated, which can result in years of needless suffering, or death by suicide. To register for the confer- ence, or for more informa- tion, call (603) 431-6703 ext. 4003. Conference informa- tion and the registration form are readily available on the SMHC Web site at www.secoastmentalhealth.o rg.

It provides accessible, high quality mental and behav- ioral health services for peo- ple of all ages in a safe and confidential environment. camaraderie that will be experienced during this evening is very much worth the effort.

“The last Tri-State MathLeague meet of the year washeld on April 6 at Amesbury,where Winnacunnet defeat-ed second-place Pinkertonby three questions in order tofinish in first place for theyear by 10 questions, addinga seventh victory to itsrecord. In the junior varsitydivision, Winnacunnetdefeated second-placePinkerton in order to win forthe year by six questions.
“Coach Steven Latvissaid, ‘It would have beeneasy to concede to Pinkerton.They had the momentum,[but the team] worked reallyhard in order to overcome itssecond-place finish at thefifth meet.’”
High scorers for the meetincluded Zack Coburn(grade 11), Kenon Fachon(10), and Marshall Roch (12)with perfect scores of 27; andMike Tonry (11) with a scoreof 21.
“The Mathletes represent-ed Winnacunnet well in theleague rankings for the year,”reported Coburn. Roch fin-ished in fourth place in theTri-State Math League, andErik DeVolder finished in thetop 10. In the junior class,Coburn finished in third,Tonry in sixth, and EdmondWong in eighth.
