FROM AUBURN
At 7 a.m. on Aug. 23 the Auburn
WI climbed aboard a large Cherry
Bus. There was an excellent guide
and an excellent driver. They went
to Exeter and Grand Bend. From
there they went to Dresden. Here a
refuge had been established for the
many fugitives from slavery, at the
Dawn Settlement. Here is Uncle
Tom’s Cabin and it was very
interesting. There was also the
Harris Horse and the old Saw Mill.
This provided the major portion of
economy as the land was cleared.
In the old church, the organ and
the pulpit from where Rev. Josiah
Henson (Uncle Tom) preached still
stand.
That afternoon they went on to the
Ridge House Museum, a Victorian
home of ordinary folk. They also
saw an old log house and herb
garden. We ended up at Parks'
Blueberry Farm at Bothwell. They
have acres and acres of this delicious
fruit and members were each given a
pint. Following a delicious supper
they headed for home. They
certainly enjoyed the trip in
beautiful farm areas. Even the
weatherman was co-operative.

Saturday. The ribbon cutting was held at 10 a.m. with many dignitaries on hand. There were
tours of the $75 million facility from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. The plant which employs 240 was ready
for production in less than 12 months after the construction began. Some 6,000 people
turned out to the open house with shuttle buses transporting visitors from several sites to the
Morris Twp. plant, located just at the south-east side of Wingham. (Vicky Bremner photo)

Scripture was from Psalm 13, a
Song of David. He was wondering
how long God would forget him.
However he trusted in God and
rejoined in song.
The second scripture was from
Luke 22: 14-23. Christ sat down at
the table with his disciples. It was
the passover table and he took the
cup and told them to divide it among
themselves. He took bread, broke it
and gave it to the disciples telling
them that it was his body and that
the cup had contained His blood. He
also said that someone would betray
Him and they wondered who?
In his sermon Rev. Ross spoke
about how things may seem similar,
but are not always so. “God knows

Next time you visit an LCBO
store, look for a new, hard-hitting
poster reminding adult consumers of
the consequences of buying alcohol
for minors.
“It’s not always easy to keep
alcohol out of the wrong hands, but
this initiative shows there is zero
tolerance for those encouraging
underage drinking,” ^aid Consumer
and Commercial Relations Minister
Bob Runciman. “If you suspect
someone is supplying alcohol to a
minor, advise LCBO store staff or
the police immediately.”
Under the Liquor Licence Act, any
individual supplying alcohol to a
minor faces a fine of up to $200,000
and the possibility of up to one year
in jail. Incorporated licensed
establishments can be fined a
maximum of $500,000. The
maximum fines were increased in
1997 to reinforce the seriousness of
the offence. Anyone who holds
parties for minors where alcohol is
served may also be subject to
criminal charges and civil liability.
“Preventing $ales to minors is one
of our greatest responsibilities and it
is a duty all LCBO employees take
very seriously,” said LCBO Chair
and CEO Andrew Brandt. “Our
frontline staff has been trained not to
serve anyone who can't provide
valid ID, appears intoxicated, or may
be purchasing for such individuals.”
The LCBO’s Challenge & Refusal
program helps ensure that only the
right people get served. In 1999-
2000, LCBO store staff challenged
more than 913,000 potential
customers - nearly 83,000 were
refused service. Approximately two-
thirds of them were turned away for
age-related reasons.
The Buying for a Minor is a Major
Offence poster is being offered, free
of charge, to LCBO agency stores,
Ontario police chiefs, MPPs, and
social responsibility groups,
including health units, community
centres and school contacts.
Copies of the English and French
posters can be obtained by
