PEOPLE AROUND AUBURN By Debbie Bauer Call 529-7820 Last Sunday Ron Enns of Auburn made an imprint on the spectators of Grand Bend Motorplex drag races. With almost 50 people to beat out, Ron managed a third-place win in l___i__ __m a w < i _ j. 2005-06 executive The 2005-06 executive of the Auburn Lions Club was installed on June 15.

(Jim Brown photo) the Harley ET class. Man and machine against the clock With competitors from all over Ontario and parts of the U.S. Enns is pleased with his showing especially considering this was his first time racing. Ron was driving a Harley Davidson 1450 - Soft-tail Classic. The racing commenced around 11:30 a.m. and went through to 6 p.m. With the heat being one of the most relentless competitors - the participants donned their helmet and leather and through elimination rounds the competition was down to the cream-of-the-crop. Ron was edged out of second by two-one hundredths of a second. Now that’s close! A jaw-dropper for friends and family who had gone along to cheer Ron onto his first victory. It won’t take much to remember the events of last year and the celebrations that ensued. Anyone wishing to recapture some of the down-home feeling among friends can do so by offering to help out a bit at the Dungannon 150th coming up on July 29, 30. 31. Volunteering is a great way to make an ordinary act an extraordinary accomplishment. Your neighbour will thank you for it. Don and Erma Cartwright of Auburn left Thursday and returned Sunday from a lovely visit with family in Toronto. Erma reported a great relaxing time with Don’s sister and brother-in-law, Robert and Jean (Cartwright) Williams. Our sympathies go out to the family of Kieth Good who passed away on Saturday, June 25. The Good family has been tested beyond all reason recently. Mr. Good had recently lost two brothers to cancer as well as his wife and son due to an accident. Our thoughts and prayers ,are with everyone during these dark days. Angelika Sturzenegger is enjoying a working holiday in Switzerland this summer. She is employed on a Pet Rescue in battle over licence fees By Elyse DeBruyn Lucknow Sentinel An issue that has been ongoing between Ashfield-Colborne- Wawanosh council and owners of Pet Rescue, once again came to council at the June 21 meeting. Pet Rescue, operated by Kathi Newell-Nicholson, is located on Mary Jane and Corey Breen’s property and can shelter up to 14 dogs. Mary Jane is also a staff member at Pet Rescue. The issue began back in November when Newell-Nicholson and the Breens mutually agreed with ACW council at the Nov. 16 meeting, that if the Breen property (meaning the Pet Rescue shelter) met the regulations in regards to receiving a kennel licence, Pet dairy farm and visiting cousins. Wow, that sounds awesome. I wonder if I could find some family over there? . The church service for Knox of Auburn and Londesborough was held at Camp Menesetung this week. Knox UCW will meet on Monday, July 4 at 8 p.m. Tatum Mathers, niece of Ann Vincent, will be the guest speaker. Tatum is a teacher at a Muslim school in Calgary and will be speaking of her experience. All are welcome. There is a community shower to be held for Ruth Ann Bakker at Knox Church (basement) July 23, at 7:30 p.m. Ruth Ann is the daughter of Marinus and Marg Bakker. Rescue would only have to pay the kennel fee of $100 instead of individual dog fees. It was agreed that by Jan. 1, 2005 the upgrades to Pet Rescue would be completed and if granted approval by local dog catcher Bob Trick, a kennel licence would be issued. The minutes state “... Therefore the foster home of Breens, as part of Pet Rescue, will not require dog tags for the pets at this residence, but the flat kennel fee.” ACW administrator clerk­ treasurer Mark Becker said this sentence reflected on the dogs that Mary Jane was planning on adopting out, but not her own, personal dogs.
