Police say party planners should keep in mind officers are not going to cut them any slack if they are called to parties raging out of control. During an undercover operation last November, OPP and officers with the Alcohol & Gaming Commission broke up a party and seized five, 58 -litre kegs of beer. Numerous charges were laid and the property owner was not exempt. The illegal sale of liquor and/or drugs is quite common at large parties; so are other criminal acts including sexual assaults, assaults, theft and mischief. In worst case scenarios, personal injury and/or death can occur. This can lead to criminal and civil litigation affecting everyone involved in the planning of the party. OPP say the message is simple: "Be a leader and not a statistic." vt\\•0€ESER �%a-UADRO. COMMUNI: .IONS •�• and pastoral care will be responded to by Rev. Michelle Down.
