CAN UNDER-AGE DRINKERS DRINK IN THEIR
OWN RESIDENCE?
Yes. Huron OPP says a minor
can drink alcohol at their resi-
dence. That is, only youth age 16-
17 under the supervision of the
parent or legal guardian and not
anyone else’s children, not even
if the parents are present.
A residence can be a home, cot-
tage or even camp site .
Remember only the child who
lives at that home can drink.

Last year, Chris Hadfield, one of the astronauts
Hemingway trained, became the first Canadian to
perform a space walk.
Hemingway said humans will probably go to the
moon again as well as Mars, the planet most like
the Earth. It would take six to eight months to get
to Mars and the team would stay on the planet for
a year before making the long trek back.
Hemingway has been with NASA for five years
and hopes to go into space someday. He said the
future of space travel includes tourism, space
hotels and trips to the moon.
“The future will be exciting,” Hemingway told
the students.

“It’s an investment in the community,” she says.
The United Way is largely dependant on volun-
teers and Piluke is Huron County’s only United
Way employee, so there are low administration
costs. There are hundreds of United Way volun-
teers in the county and the volunteer board of
directors is chaired by Exeter’s Bruce Shaw.
Piluke said the United Way’s mission is to
improve the capacity of people to care about oth-
ers.
She admits there are many requests out there
for donations, but with a donation to the United
Way, you can be sure the money has been allocat-
ed the best way, Piluke says.
One of the United Way’s programs is Coats for
Kids. The program sees the United Way collect
coats, have them dry-cleaned, then distribute
them to those who need them, including adults.
The United Way also holds a ‘day of caring’ in
May, in which teams of volunteers do service
work in the community such as paint a fence,
work in a garden, work in nursing homes or clear
hiking trails.
One of the United Way’s major fund-raisers is
the grader pull in Goderich, which takes place
Nov. 2 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The pull includes
antique and regular graders and raffles, face
painting and balloons. The goal for the event is
$30,000.
Piluke hopes to wrap up this year’s fund-raising
by mid-December.
Once that happens, preparations for next year’s
fund-raiser will start. While she has only been
executive director for a few months, Piluke said
she’s met many people and enjoys the position.
“I’m loving it. It’s challenging, it’s a lot of work .
. . but it’s a chance to make a change to do good.”
Piluke said she appreciates the people who have
already donated to the United Way.
“We’re on our way,” she says.
To donate to the United Way or to find out more
information, call (519) 482-7643.
