If the anticipation of warm caresses of the liquid sliding down your throat and a tang that can curl your toes doesn’t make your mouth water - then clearly you need to get yourself a coffee. It’s all about passion, if you don’t love what you’re doing then you better do what you love. And I love chatting with all of you each week. The beef supper *at Knox church last Wednesday night was a great success. Shirley and her crew want to acknowledge those who supported the evening by s ending food, working in the kitchen, waiting on tables, or attending the supper. Volunteers are an awesome lot. I am told the corn relish was particularly worth a mention as was the melt in your mouth roast beef. There are enough farmers in trouble already; I won’t add myself to the list just to grow my own great Canadian beef. I can buy that from friends and neighbours or in any butcher shop. What I won’t be able to find is that corn relish. Next bazaar or bake-table held in and around Auburn, I hope to find a jar of those golden nuggets for myself. Does anyone know whose kitchen graced these jars? Guest speakers at Knox church on Sunday were Melissa Snyders and Bubbie the clown. When Bubbie the clown comes out of character he is none other than Bruce Whitmore - Melissa's father. It was a lively, enthusiastic and reflec­ tive presentation on “Judging Others”. Caroline McDowell played wonderful piano selections before church. Marshall Durnin (son of Mike and Heather Durnin), a member of the Huron Strings Orchestra, partici­ pated in an orchestra exchange program with a musical ensemble from the Toronto area this past weekend. It won’t be long until the, Huron Strings will be hosting the fine young talented people from the Toronto area to visit and perform with Marshall and his fellow musicians locally. I was on the move Monday and stopped in at the Walton Inn for lunch. What a treat that was. Everything there is homemade and it was a chance to see an old friend - Patti Banks, to boot. You can’t beat that. The volunteers for the Cancer campaign have started knocking on doors in Auburn and community. It won’t be long until they have subjected themselves to a variety of responses from the two legged and the four legged alike. Let’s do what we can to make their job a bit easier.FROM AUBURN Enjoying breakfast Chad Treble, six, of Benmiller enjoys the sausage during the breakfast held at the Auburn Memorial Community Hall on Sunday morning.

I can’t imagine the world going around any more than once without the unpaid workers with their shoulder to the wheel. It may not be what makes the wheel go around - but it certainly is the grease on the gears.
