The judge for the show was Bobby Jarrell from Corbyville, east of Toronto. The ring - man was Murray Reissner from Woodstock who does ring work at the Royal Winter Fair and many other shows. The committee who make up the show deserve a lot of credit for a job well done, having sawdust in the ring, 2 tents in which to tie up the calves and water and hydro available. A big thank you to ring announcer, our fly- ing farmer, Glen McNeil who just flew back from Markham Show down east and to Perry VanOsch for the photos taken. Also to Kristie Gilchrist and Steve Van Osch for lining up the calves in the correct order to come into the ring, not one was out of order. At the end of the show all counties were asked to bring in 3 calves and line them up facing the wall with the top 5 counties picked up and lined up in the centre. The group of 3 Jersey calves taking 1st place. All calves wre well washed, halter broken and clipped. A wonderful eight hour show to watch. A big thank you to everybody who helped put the show together. Hope to see you all back next year. Thank you, Glen Walden Wednesday, August 13, 2014 • Lucknow Sentinel 5 Police Briefs OPP SEEKING PUBLIC ASSISTANCE IN IDENTIFYING MALE IN CONNECTION TOINAPPROPRIATE TOUCHING - ONGOING INVESTIGATION South Bruce Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) with the assistance of the South Bruce OPP Crime Unit, is currently investi- gating a report of an alleged sexual assault that occurred in the Munici- pality of Brockton on Fri- day, August 1, 2014. Just before 8:00 a.m., a Lucknow & District Lions Club )A Year in Review Kathryn Todd PR The Lucknow & District Lions Club has finished with another successful year. Our biggest project for the year was the spear- heading of the Lucknow Splashpad. With the co- operation of other groups in the village this project was completed for the enjoyment of the younger generation. Our next pro- ject is to make improve- ments to the skateboard park. We are currently working on this and trying to raise funds. This was a year for working with other groups. We assisted the Lucknow Agricultural Society with their food booth and gates at the fall fair. We then helped out at the Mitchell International Plowing Match. Our job there was moving heavy wooden steps out for get- ting on and off the people mover wagons. It was a very long day. We aided the Kinsmen with the Music in the Fields by parking vehicles at the Community Centre and arena. In September, we assisted at the Hazardous Waste Depot sponsored by Bruce County. Canadian Blood Services were helped by the Club volun- teers when they collected 114 pints in August. Another clinic was held in November. This year was the first time the Agricul- tural Society and Lions held a joint lasagna dinner and silent auction. This was a great success with talk of having another one next year. We participated with the Village for Earth Day and did our roadside clean up from Lucknow to Holyrood. Fund raisers this year were our annual Sweet- heart Draw. Winner, Joyce Elphick came out in a bliz- zard to do her Shopping Spree. We continuously collect aluminum. This is a big project for the club in which we need the help of the community to recy- cle and reuse this com- modity. We only bar - tended for three events. Other events sponsored this year were the Lions Novice Tournament, Free Skating and Project Pride (each child in Grade 1 gets a flag and certificate). We raised $1,848 for Walk for Guide Dogs. This is the program that provides autistic, handicapped, diabetic, hearing impaired and blind persons with a trained dog for life, free of charge. We gave donations to Little Mudder, Big Broth- ers and Big Sisters. Both local hospitals (Wingham & District and Alexander Marine) received dona- tions during the Radio- thon. Camp Kirk, Silver - stick Tournament, Youth Exchange, Peace Poster Contest, Effective Speak- ing and the North Huron Food Share, all received donations. We donated the cost of a new mattress to Participation Lodge. We awarded the Mel Corrin Memorial Scholarship to Destinee Shepherd. This year Lions International Convention was held in Toronto. We made a dona- tion towards this event as our club could not assist in any part to help organ- ize it. Around the Village, we replaced the sign at the Memorial Park and repaired the garden. We placed a wreath to honour past veterans and attended the Remem- brance Day banquet to hear former Luc know area resident Fred Black talk about his life in the service. We presented the Rae Watson award to the Formosa Lions Club. This award recognizes the club with the most new mem- bers. We had three new members join us this year, Keith Kerfoot, Lisa Gillespie and Dave Haas- noot. We lost a long time member, Allan Gibson. He was recognized at the Annual Convention in their memorial service. Three members were rec- ognized for their years of service: Jack Cameron and Ambrose Redmond for 20 years and Bob Lyons for 35 years of service. We had a lucky year in that we received a gift from the estate of Ruth Ledley Thompson of which we are most grate- ful. We also won second prize in the Fall Fair and Santa Parades. All these funds go toward commu- nity projects. Lions is not all work. We have time for fellowship, too. This year we enjoyed the Legion/Lions golf and dinner day. The Legion was hosting. We had a club visit with the Auburn Lions. We attended the usual Zone and Cabinet Meetings and held our annual Steak BBQ at the home of Wayne and Kathy Todd. All in all it was a good time. Come join us if you want to have some fun, contribute to the commu- nity and share your skills and experiences. We cer- tainly will welcome you to the club. get rt dnhinhi lucknowsentinel.com female observed a male walking a golden retriever type dog westbound on Kincardine Highway in the Municipality of Brockton.
