Saily kettle campaign seeks community volunteers
Andrews said the higher goal reflects
the "huge increase" of people using the
food bank this year.
Over the past five years, both food
bank and Family Services usage has tri-
pled, and Andrews said this one month
of fundraising can literally help thou-
sands of people throughout the year in
Huron County.
In tandem with the kettle campaign,
the Salvation Army is also getting their
Christmas hamper program up and run-
ning for 2009.
Applications can be made through the
Goderich Salvation Army location at
309 Suncoast or in Clinton at 18 Albert
Street. The phone numbers are (519)
524-2950 and 482-8586 respectively.
Andrews said for people who want to
help, time is just as important as money,
be it time on the kettles or help packing
and delivering hampers.
"If you can't afford to give money,
you can give your time - it's worth just
as much," she said.
Hamper applications, she said, are
accepted until Dec. 14.

No sooner does November hit than
thoughts turn to the Christmas season,
and the Salvation Army is looking for
some help with their annual kettle cam-
paign.
Beginning November 19, the famil-
iar kettles will be at specific locations
around Goderich. Captain Krista An-
drews said families, church and service
groups and businesses can sponsor a
kettle for a day by providing volunteers
to man the locations.
There are 250 kettle shifts to fill, An-
drews said, manned by more than 150
volunteers.
The Kettle Campaing begins Thurs-
day, November 9 and continues through
to December 23.
Andrews said the money raised pro-
pels the Salvation Army outreach ef-
forts into the next year, and stressed all
the money raised locally stays local.
This year, the goal for the kettle cam-
paign is $43,000 - an increase over last
year's $37,000.

Police tag minors
in rash of alcohol
related charges
Huron OPP handed out more than 10
tickets on the weekend in relation to li-
quor violations, with startling results.
What concerned OPP most is almost
all of the incidents involved minors who
were either in possession of liquor, con-
suming liquor or who had open liquor in
a motor vehicle.
The youngest offender was a 12 -year-
old female.
This dangerous Huron County trend
needs to be addressed at all levels, states
the OPP, but first and foremost by par-
ents.
It's not acceptable to state that "Huron
County is a boozing county. That's just
the way it is."
Although the consumption statistics
for Huron County are alarming, that
does not mean that residents should
merely accept or embrace them - it is
a parent's responsibility to protect their
kids until they are old enough to make
more informed decisions.
Police say the message needs to be
clear that alcohol and automobiles is
unacceptable. However, a big part, ac-
cording to the OPP, is parents leading by
example.
Luckily no one was injured in any of
theweekend incidents. Especially, in the
case of one 22 -year-old male who was
lucky he was not hit by a vehicle while
walking in the middle of the roadway in
dark clothing at night.
