Keith Mulvey, a Brussels member of the group, brought along two good-natured "guinea pigs" who had consumed different types of alcohol over similar periods of time to illustrate the breathalizer readings. When approached afterward and asked their thoughts about the meeting, the majority of people felt the meeting was very informative and expressed interest in attending meetings in Ethel in the future. When asked what impression of Ethel he had come away with after Wednesday night's meeting Johnson replied that "these are very genuine and caring citizens who came and openly expressed their thoughts with us on how OPP can best meet their needs. "Actually," he continued, "I was telling one of my superiors about the meeting the next day and told him it was probably the most valuable public meeting I have been to in the last year." Nancy's Cafe in Ethel is scheduled to close in July of this year. Ethel United Church had their 125 year celebration on Sunda'y. Beth Earl explained there was much reminiscing and remembenng.

Although the group generally meets once monthly in Brussels, a need to hold a "town hall" sort of meeting in Ethel was recognized. Special interest topics such as ATVs, fatal vision goggles and breathalizer tests were addressed. As well, there was a presentation by Crime Stoppers. Shawn Johnson, OPP Operations Manager/Crime Stoppers co- ordinator for Huron County was at the meeting to present information on Crime Stoppers and, along with CL-4-r /014,E.r . 4.1 did. tk)inErY: Ea-r-I LA tfinti..

"Events like this particular meeting give us an opportunity to reach out to the community and personalize OPP," Johnson explained. "We want to meet the members of communities such as Ethel and learn how to best customize our policing to meet their needs. When we see an initiative Old ties create new church banner To honour the 125th anniversary of Ethel United Church an idea was thought of to make a banner that would be a reminder of the special day. One Sunday morning during announcements, Beth Earl spoke to the congregation about an idea to make a banner from old ties. With scissors in hand, she clipped her husband Garry's tie off. She said that she never liked the tie and this was going to be the first donation. This was everyone's chance to get rid of those unwanted ties. A colourful array of almost 200 ties was donated in just two weeks. They were sewn together, then put on the background and Beth and her mother Georgiana Smith quilted the ties in place. Blest Be The Tie That Binds was an appropriate title to honour 125 years of faith, fellowship and fun at Ethel United Church.
