LUCKNOW 519-529-7953 As they say... The joint was jumping in Lucknow Ruth Dobrensky It never rains, but it pours in Lucknow. Saturday night, the entertainment at the Legion was great and as I said above, the joint was jumping. There was some really great entertainment brought by some talented young musicians from Goderich High School. Also on Saturday, seven members of the Lucknow Horti- cultural Society traveled to Durham to attend the Ontario Horticultural Association Annual Meeting. The guest speaker, David Hobson, spoke about potpourri of the unique and unusual kind. On Sunday, members of St. Peter's Anglican Church trav- elled to Trinity Blyth Anglican Church for a combined Parish of New Beginnings Service with Bishop Bob as the guest. All enjoyed a great service followed by a delicious pot luck lunch. And to top it off, I discovered that a couple from Blyth are related to relatives of mine from the Feversham area. It's a small world. Last Wednesday, the Lucknow Sepoy Ranees entertained 24 Red Hat Queen's from Petrolia to Owen Sound to Shel- burne at at Queen's Luncheon held at St. Peter's Parish Hall. We always have a good time and the Anglican church parish hall was decorated with all sorts of red and purple and all the ladies in their red hat finery certainly brought a touch of spring to Lucknow. This weekend is Easter, so I wish everyone a happy and joy- ous Easter and hope all the big and little ones out there have a great time looking for Easter eggs.

In an analysis of 2013 collisions, in the South Bruce OPP detachment area, ani- mals ranked #2 in the top 10 contributing factors to a crash. The following safe driving tips are offered to help reduce the chances of hitting a deer: • Be especially attentive from sunset to midnight and during the hours shortly before and after sunrise. These are the highest risk times for deer -vehicle colli- sions. • Drive with caution when moving through areas known to have a large deer popula- tion. Remember - deer seldom run alone. If you see one deer, others may be nearby. • When driving at night, use high beam headlights when there is no oncoming traffic. The high beams will better illu- minate the eyes of deer on or near the roadway. • Slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten the deer away. • Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path, but stay in your lane. Many serious crashes occur when drivers swerve to avoid a deer and hit another vehicle or lose control of their cars. • Always wear your seat belt. Most people injured in deer -vehicle crashes were not wearing their seat belt. • Do not rely on devices such as deer whistles, deer fences and reflectors to deter deer. Slow down, stay in control and stay alert.
