Spring has come and can be seen by the new kites adorn-
ing Lucknow's main street lamp posts.
The `Kites of Spring' project is an initiative of the Lucknow
and District Chamber of Commerce (LCOC) as part of their
ongoing efforts to make Lucknow a stop -and -shop
destination.
The LCOC applied for a 2013 Spruce the Bruce Grant to
financially assist with the community improvement endeav-
our. It was determined, however, the project didn't meet all of
the requirements needed to qualify for partial funding from
Bruce County.
The COC Executive then turned to the Lucknow Reunion
2008 Beautification Committee whom they had partnered
with before on other village upgrades. The Beautification
Committee is tasked with the disbursement of profits arriving
from the 150th anniversary reunion which was held in July of
2008.
Once quotes were received for 40 kites and a tender
accepted, the two groups came to a 50-50 agreement on
costs.
Pat McKillop of McPyatt Signs had drawn up the design
using a Spring theme by incorporating flowers and butterflies
set on a pastel background. It was her hope that these images
combined would bring to mind thoughts of sunshine and
warmer days ahead. It's something that's needed this year at
the end of such a long winter. Tails for the kites were added
by the residents of Sepoy Manor using an assembly line
approach under the direction of owner Kayla Howald.
Hopefully these "Kites of Spring" herald the beginning of
warm weather and the promise of summer.
With the cooperation of Huron -Kinloss Township employ-
ees Gary Austin and Dave Spoenlein, the kites went up last
week, back to back on 20 of the light standards along Camp-
bell St.
It's the hope of all involved that this makes our Lucknow a
more appealing place to shop, live and play. "Caed Mile
Failte."
Myna Mann, Jean Whytock, Norma Davidson and
Ruth Orien of Sepoy Manor show off the `Kites of
Spring' they added tails to for the beautification of
the village.

The 20th Anniversary of The
Brucedale Press is 2014
This small independent press, which

Thirty Years on Call, Why Not? and Harvest Dust,
now seeks contributions for a collection from fam-
ily farms to be released this fall.
Writers must live (or have lived) on family -oper-
ated farms in Bruce, Grey, or Huron counties.
Stories may be historical, humorous, reminis-
cent, or analytical. Writers can tell the heritage of
their family farm, share special memories, and/or
discuss challenges or changes that have affected
family and farm.
They might relate roles played in shaping such
organizations as co-operatives, commodity

family farmer that non -farmers should know
about.
"Family farming is a means of organizing agri-
cultural, forestry, fisheries, pastoral and aquacul-
ture production which is managed and operated
by a family and predominantly reliant on family
labour, including both women's and men's,"
according to the UN Food and Agriculture
