I'm new here
"Hi, I'm new here," I say to myself in
my car last Monday as I drive down
Bruce Road 1. The sun, which I wish
would come out a lot more, shines
across the black hood of my little car
and the music blares over my spoken
words. "Hi, I'm Laura. Hi, I'm the new
editor:'
I shake my head back and forth,
make an eyebrow stand up, and con-
tinue along my drive to The Lucknow
Sentinel.
Like many newbies who step onto
the scene at a new place of employ-
ment, I was full of uncertainty.
My first day was spent looking at
maps, staring curiously out the front
window at the store fronts, and feeling
my mouth water at the sight of the
bakery.
Lucknow is a nice a place, and, as the
previous editor Garit Reid said, the
paper is about the people not the place.
I like that.
I'm sure readers are curious about
who I am and what I'm about. So, I'm
just going to go for it
Sunday, I turned 27. I'm the daughter
of a workaholic mechanic and a retired
English teacher. I grew up surrounded
by 40 acres of agriculture life, where the
scenery alternated between corn,
wheat, and beans for most of my life.
Every year the corn was planted, Dad
was reminded of how nice it would be
to have a fence enclose our yard, but
twentyyears later it was never done (I'm
sure many can identifywith that). I grew
up in a healthy mix of home life and
making my own fun at my parents car
repair garage in Walkerton, MacDuff
Motor Sales. So many times I was
scolded for getting grease on my good
jeans from using the creepers as
skateboards and wasting office supplies
for the crafts I wanted to try. Black per-
manent marker always looks better
when used for doodling.
I went to elementary and high school
in Walkerton. I always felt like I had a
childhood filled with parental love and
never lacked material things, but the
attitude I could have had was humbled
by the symptoms and heartache to do
with my brother's mental illness. That's
just the way life goes.
I love animals, and if it were up to me
I'd have aquariums in every room of my
house. I have a spoiled cat, three feisty
German Shepherds, and an aquarium
that interests me to no end.
I worked at The Post, the office is out
of Hanover, for the past six years. Lay-
offs and cutbacks came down to my
position, and I decided to take the job at
Lucknow when it was offered to me
because it sounded like a place where I
could belong. So, here I am.
I believe small towns are underesti-
mated. No, there's no skyscrapers or
subway stations, Louis Vuitton or the
glittery sheen of Tiffany's, but there is
something here that matters so much
more. I don't think I've ever felt more
welcome anywhere else and I know it's
the people I've met that have made me
feel that way. What a great little com-
munity this is.
I'm excited to get to know this com-
munity and to bring the news from your
minds and your hearts to the pages of
this paper. I want to hear your stories of
tragedy and courage, and see photos of
your kids in snowsuits covered in snow.
I want to hear about the great things this
community does. Don't be shy, I'm all
ears.
But, I've found this community to
When will this winter weather go away?
Ruth Dobrensky
It has been a relief to have a break
in the bad weather, but, it has been
exceedingly cold. I must remember
that it is only January and we have a
lot of weather to cope with before
spring finally arrives.
A good sign that spring is actually on
the way will be the pancake suppers
on Shrove Tuesday. Watch for them at
your local churches on March 4.
Now that Christmas and New Years
are over many local organizations,
clubs and churches are starting to
think of their spring line-up of
events.
Saturday, Lucknow celebrated
women's hockey with girls and
women playing hockey from the age
of very young to the Lucknow Leg-
ends. Perhaps some of the girls will
one day play for Canada at the
Olympics.
The Lucknow Rumoli Club held
their January get-together recently
and, as usual, it was a great evening of
food and, of course, playing Rumoli.
The Kairshea W.I. held their annual
Christmas banquet at the Anglican
Church recently. The decorations,
good food, decorations and music
made for a festive time.
Sympathy of the community to the
families of: Wayne Jones, 54, of Luc -

sels (formerly Lucknow); William
Consitt, 77, of Zurich; Joe Howald, 79,

also be hard on my paycheck.
Within the first three days of
working here, I had added two
beads to my Pandora bracelet
with the help of Nine Waves,
purchased two scarves to add
to my huge collection at home,
and don't even get me started
on the bakery - it's the best
thing since sliced bread!
The one day I was out and
about I took photos on my cell-
phone of everywhere I went. I
sent the photos to my friend,
who stole glimpses of them
during her work day. After see-
ing the photos of clothes,
scarves, tasty treats and hear-
ing about the selection of Pan-
dora at Nine Waves, she replied
with "When do you want to go
to Lucicnowwith me?"
That evening I was telling my
mother about my shopping
adventures. Ironically enough,
she's reading an aquarium
setup guide cover to cover. I tell
her about the array of scarves
while slicing a square from the
bakery into four pieces. After
telling her about the scarves for
sale at the pharmacy, and her
eying up the green one I pur-
chased with a twinkle in her
eyes, I hear her say, "So, when
do you want to go to
Lucknow?"
Call me with your stories. As
I said before, I'm all ears.
