Canada' Apcnal Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies The Evolution Continues There have been some changes to the faces and places of the people involved with bringing you the Lucknow Sentinel each and every week. It is my privilege to introduce in this edition the newcomers to this particular office. We have a new Publisher/Sales Manager, John Bauman, who is working with three publications in the Sun Media group. We also have Jessica Bailey as our new Office Manager. It is always exciting to bring new ideas and personalities into the mix. I am sure that many of you will miss seeing Marilyn Miltenburg in the office. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors. Those are the faces that have changed. As for the places... I am now a resident of Lucknow. Yes, the move has been made. It is my hope that by cutting out the long commute, that I will be even more pre- sent and available to cover and record the news and milestones that make up the story of Lucknow and the surround- ing area. It will also afford me the time and opportunity to experience more of the many things this area has to offer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have made me feel welcome in Lucknow, as well as in the surrounding communities. I already feel that I am at home here. I am still learning of the hidden gems in the coun- tryside and look forward to discovering the many settlements, events, groups and businesses. I would also like to thank those who have been submitting materials and photos for publication. I appreciate the effort and commitment the various people have put in to make the Sentinel a community paper. I will continue to strive to build relationships between the Sentinel and the various groups and event co-ordinators to work together for positive results for all. I especially appreciate the cooperation I have been experiencing with the various service groups and with the library. I am pleased that the various 4-H clubs have taken up the invitation to submit their reports and photos. A sports section has been developing through the efforts of those involved in submitting results each week. Although some may not wish to admit it, soon a new school year will provide more materials as the staff and students move through the programs and activities. I am always leery of listing those who submit, as I am sure that I will unintentionally leave someone out. The variety in the paper is steadily growing. Just this week I have spoken with some of the Writers Group and have arranged that they will begin to provide book reviews as publications become available. I look forward to hearing from anyone who has ideas of new items of interest to the readership. It is very uplifting to have received so many positive comments on the evolu- tion of the Sentinel. I know I have made some mistakes, and as a mere human I expect that I will make more in the future. However, I am committed to doing my best in the role that I have had the privilege of being granted. I am looking forward to a long and rewarding future in this vibrant rural area. I am just at the beginning of being introduced to the many facets that make up the lifestyles and flavour of the area. This is most certainly a new adventure begun. Lucknow News By Ruth Dobrensky Happy late 95th birthday to Nina MacDonald in Ripley. Nina lived in Luc - know until a few years ago. Now that the summer is half over, all parents are out shopping for their chil- dren's back to school clothes, etc., and looking forward to someone else guid- ing them through their days. But, there are still a few weeks left to get out and enjoy whats left of summer with your children. I will be spending next week with my nephew Nick, we're going on another adventure. My sister Linda and her husband Marc will have the pleas- ure of our company while we go cruis- ing on Georgian Bay and go to places like Sainte Marie among the Hurons. If I'm able to, I'll try to write and email a column from my sisters place. If I don't have the time or am too tired, you'll have to miss my column for a week. This past weekend the fundraiser for Cayden Sloetjes was held in Chesley. I wasn't able to attend myself but I heard that it went over very well and we all hope that little Cayden will be better very soon. Dungannon held their Fair this past weekend with lots for everyone to take part in. There was a good turnout and everyone had a good time. I myself have a thing for chickens and enjoyed look- ing them all over. Speaking of animals, I saw a video about a farmer from the State of Kansas who summons his guys by sitting on a chair out on his farm while playing his trombone, not only do the cows come when he plays, they accompany him once they get to where he's sitting. It's a hoot, it's on You Tube under farmer Klingenberg. Music in the Fields will be here soon, I heard the tickets are sold out which may not be correct, but would be understandable with such a great line- up. It looks like it will be another big success even before it happens. Con- grats to all the organizers, you're doing a great job.

Open Water Calls Former Lucknow Resident Dale Lougheed A former Lucknow resident Margie Lougheed has participated in "Open Water Swims" this summer for fun. She has been training at the YMCA pool over the past months. In July she was one of 600 partici- pants in the Ottawa River for a 3000 m "Bring on the Bay" fundraiser for Easter Seals. Margie placed 2nd overall for fund- raising and had a reasonable time in her class as well. In August she was one of 450 participants in a 3500 m "Point to LaPointe" race in Bayfield Wisconsin in Lake Superior (66'F) - again placing well in her time class. Later in August a relay team of work col- leagues will participate in the Goderich Tri- athalon - once again for fun.
