The United Way of Bruce Grey has a list of 1,500 chil- dren in need of back packs and school supplies. The Huron United Way and United Way of Perth County are both helping hundreds more. Huron United Way executive director Michelle Gellatly says, "This year is especially difficult. The numbers are -up dramatically due to changes in gov- ernment assistance for low-income families." For the fourth year in a row, 101.7 The One has held "The Giving Back - Pack Program." Program director Gina Lorentz says, "A new school year is a fresh start for students, filled with opportunities to learn, have fun and grow as a person. We're fortunate to live in a caring and generous community, ready to help children on the path to a successful year." The One Giving Back -Pack Campaign is underway and continues until the end of the month. Backpacks and other essential school items can be dropped off at Zellers or Mark's Work Wearhouse Stores in Goderich, Hanover, Owen Sound and Listowel. There are also collection bins at MicroAge Basics in Goderich and Wingham. Gellatly says they welcome good quality used scientific calculators, because it's a bigger ticket item that's in high demand. If you prefer to make a financial donation, you can do so through your local United Way Families in need can also be in touch with the agency.

MOST OFTEN WE USE THE GRILL BASKETS AND AFTER TOSSING FRESH CHUNKS OF VEGGIES IN OIL AND SEASONING THEN WITH VEGETABLES FLAKES OR CLUB HOUSE SEASONINGS WE JUST COOK THEM ALONGSIDE OUR BBQ MEAT. OTHER TIMES I GET A BIT MORE CREATIVE AND DO AN ASSORTMENT OF VEGETABLES IN TINFOIL. BE SURE TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE VEGGIES YOU USE, THE CHEESES AND SAUCES—EVERY MEAL CAN BE A NEW CREATION. On a large piece of well sprayed tinfoil place the following: Slithered carrots Onion rings Zucchini slices Mushrooms sliced Red, green, yellow and/or orange peppers slithered Chunks of cheddar cheese Sprinkle with black pepper and drizzle with your favorite BBQ sauce Wrap up tightly and then double wrap again. Put of the BBQ for about 30 minutes, turning frequently! Open up carefully and then put the veggies in a bowl to serve with your meal! Wow.
