"People turn to us when they don't have any other way to get to their cancer care appointments," explains Huron -Perth Canadian Cancer Society manager Janis Cunningham. "We're committed to helping but the reality is we must get more dri- vers or we may not be able to." Volunteer drivers help those with cancer by driving them to and from cancer care related appointments in local areas including Exeter and Stratford, and/or to the cancer cen- tres in London or Kitchener. Although up to each volunteer, some also drive clients to appoint- ments in Hamilton and Toronto. "Usually, a driver will drive once a week if there's a need," explains Cunningham. "The service is free of charge for those who use it but our drivers are reimbursed at a per kilometre rate by the Canadian Cancer Society to help cover the cost of the gas, oil and a portion of the maintenance and tire wear on the vehicle." George Dobbs, a dedicated Exeter driver says, "I started driving over 10 years ago and I'm still doing it. You get as much out of it for your- self as you give in helping cancer patients." Volunteer drivers must have a smoke and scent -free car and attend a driver education session before they begin driving for the Drug charges laid CLANDEBOYE — A home invasion Sept. 19 on Denfield Road in Clandeboye led to drug warrant and arrests. As a result of that inves- tigation, the Drug Enforcement Section con- ducted a CDSA search warrant at the home of the invasion. Police seized four pounds of marijuana, over $300,000 in Canadian currency and over $1,400 in US currency. A 35 -year-old male, a 35 -year-old female and a 17 -year-old male have been charged with pos- session of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and posses- sion of proceeds of crime. Three males were apprehended in relation to the home invasion and a fourth male is still being sought by police. Police recovered 10 pounds of marijuana the males had stolen during the home invasion. Two 39 -year-old males and a 30 -year-old male are charged with robbery with a weapon, assault with a weapon, wearing a disguise, and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of traffick- ing. One 39 -year-old male also faces a charge of fail- ing to stop for police. All three males are from London. POLICE BRIEF Vehicle stop leads to bust SOUTH HURON — A Huron OPP officer on Kirkton Road in South Huron stopped a vehicle Sept. 29.
