Birds of a Feather...
Special Interest Groups
Since beginning here as Editor of the
Lucknow Sentinel I have had the
honour and pleasure of meeting
some very interesting and vital people in the
area. This past week has been an especially
busy one for me as I was invited to be a guest
speaker by two very different venues, as well
as reporter.
Before getting into the details of these
engagements, I would like to reflect on the
first invitation I had received on introducing
myself to Sentinel readers. This was to attend
a Coffee Hour at the Dungannon Seniors
Hall to cover a cheque donation.
During the "meeting" I had the opportu-
nity to learn the origins of this particular
group. As I listened and took notes the group
members reflected on the fact that, no mat-
ter where someone lives, like-minded peo-
ple will naturally drift toward each other.
Hannie Scott said it best. "If people have a
specific interest in something, they will find
each other and find a way to get together."
In the case of the Dungannon coffee
clatch, the beginnings were in the homes of
the neighbourhood ladies. When the group
became too large for the various living
rooms and parlours, the meetings moved to
what was then the Orange Lodge and later to
Brookside. In 1984 the church that is now
the Seniors Hall came up for sale and was
purchased as a meeting place. A Horizon
Grant was secured to purchase dishes and
furniture. At that time the younger members
went back to meeting in their houses, but
have now come back to the Hall.
The first of the speaking engagements of
the past week was as a "book" at the "Living
Library" hosted by Lucknow Public School.
The resulting article will appear in the next
edition of the Sentinel.
The second was an invitation to be the first
guest speaker at the fledgling Lucicnow Writ-
ers' Group which came into being April 1,
2014. Details of this group appear later in
this edition.
I have learned that there are some very
active communities in the Sentinel coverage
area. I would very much like to keep these
pages filled with local activities and interests
after the school submissions have subsided
for the summer. I look forward to hearing
from more special interest groups and teams
and invite the members to submit their his-
tories, descriptions, activities and, of course,
information for new members to join.
LUCKNOW NEWS
I IT'S STRAWBERRY
SUMMERFEST TIME
By Ruth Dobrensky
Everyone in the Lucknow
area looks forward to Straw-
berry Summerfest and it's
here again this coming
weekend. There are always
lots of things to do and lots
of food to taste and enjoy so
get out if you can and enjoy
the (hopefully) great
weather and fun. This year
the strawberry pie baking
contest is having baked and
fresh categories, so get bak-
ing people, see who can win
the first prize this year.
This past weekend, Dun-
gannon held their annual
super pull and as usual had
a large appreciative crowd
on hand to enjoy all the
"pulls',' music, food, etc.
Also this past weekend,
Lucknow's new Presbyte-
rian Minister, Rev. David
Chung was inducted at
South Kinloss Presbyterian
Church. Once again,
www.lucknowsentinel.com
welcome to Lucknow Rev.
Chung.
On June 7, Joan Robinson
and myself, along with a
number of other Lucicnow-
ites, traveled to Goderich
and attended the 70th Anni-
versary D -Day celebrations
held there. A number of our
Lucknow Legion 309 mem-
bers were in the parade and
represented Lucknow for
the area. When the cere-
mony at the Cenotaph had
ended, planes from the
Goderich airport flew over
and went into the "Missing
Man Formation" in memory
of all who had not returned.
Following the Cenotaph
ceremony, the parade and
many of the viewers
marched down the street to
the Dutch Liberation
Memorial where a further
ceremony was held.
While all the locals were
enjoying the Dungannon
Purple Grove News
Cheryl Bridge
John and Joyce Farrell
enjoyed a visit with John
Paul Greenwood and his
son on Sunday at the farm, a
great weekend to take in the
outdoors.
Sympathy is extended to
Jan Stilling and her family
on the death of her mother
Jean Elliott, and to the fam-
ily of Glenn Young formerly
of Kinloss.
Mary Anne Kukoly
enjoyed being with Ruth
McCosh in Goderich
recently. Visiting with Mary
Anne were Joyce and Sandy
McEwan, Charlene and
Doug McEwan, and Neila
and Stewart Schmaltz of
Saskatoon.
Don and Marilyn Reid
with Bob and Joyce Court-
ney met at the White Carna-
tion in Homesville to have
dinner and a visit with
Wilda Parker on Sunday.
Super Pull last weekend, I
went to Sudbury with my sis-
ter and brother-in-law to visit
with family and to attend a
baby shower for my nephew
Tom and his wife Kristy and
soon-to-be baby. I haven't
been to Sudbury for quite
some time and it was inter-
esting to see all the changes
there, but delightful to see my
nephew and his wife and all
my sister's in-laws.
If anyone has some time
to spare, I hear the Music in
the Fields organizers are in
need of volunteers, help out
if you are able. They bring a
great show and a lot of
money into Lucknow and
they deserve our support.
Sympathy of the commu-
nity to the families of: Marga-
ret Elliott, 95, Ripley; Velma
Morningstar, 92, Lucknow;
Douglas Scott, 67, Toronto;
Aly Beyersbergen, 88, Luc -
know; Donna Pennington,
73, Walkerton (formerly Cul-
ross Twp.); and, Wayne
Procter, 67, London (formerly
Teeswater and Wmgham).
Morley and Deanna
Scott attended a family
renunion in Clifford for
Morley's side on Sunday. It
was wonderful to meet
everyone again and renew
and greet new
acquaintances.
It is great to have our
grads and returning stu-
dents back home for the
summer from the universi-
ties and college. Welcome
home.
Purple Grove Women's Institute
Submitted
Most of the members of
the Institute were able to
enjoy a meal at the Grass
Roots Retreat Centre near
Lucknow. The tasty meal
was catered by Vicky Morri-
son. After the meal Marilyn
Reid our President read a
poem about 'Don't Quit: It
had lots of great advice.
Joyce Farrell read the scrip-
ture. There were some great
hints given in answering the
Roll Call 'What do you do to
conserve energy?'
Our Institute was invited
to the 60th anniversary of
Malcolm W I. Mary Anne
Kukoly will present the P G
W I award at the Grade 8
graduation at Ripley Huron
Community School. Secre-
tary Fran read a thank you
note from Meighan Clifford
for all the help with her
bridal shower. We also
received a request for pies
for the Bruce County Plow-
man's Association plowing
match the last Friday in
August. It was announced
that there will be a bridal
shower for Carmen Farrell
on June 21st at Purple Grove
Community Centre. Ladies
volunteered to help with the
lunch.
After the meeting we were
so pleased to see the Straw
House built by Jessica and
Blair Morrison on Paradise
Lake Street. The house is
completely off -grid and a
great encouragement for
those of us who wish we
were off grid. Thanks to all
the Morrison's for their gra-
cious hospitality - much
appreciated.
