Canada 4.)cna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Another Season Change! More Beginnings and Endings It has been a whirlwind of activity in and around Lucknow as spring gives way to summer. With the ending of the school year the children will no longer have the regimen of a school day and caregivers have been making plans for the summer break. Area service providers are geared up for another season of fun in the sun or serious work during the warm - weather period. Events of all sorts are happening or are in the works for future enjoyment. Amidst all of this activity are the many stories and memories that affix them- selves to our hearts and minds. I am keeping this short this week to allow space to record the various local goings on, relevant news and reports. If you have stories about the past school year, club season, events includ- ing the Summerfest and other interest- ing things to share throughout the sum- mer, please drop them in at the Sentinel during posted hours or send to luc- know.editorial@sunmedia.ca. Please make sure that photos are in .jpeg format. I remind all that the Sentinel staff can- not attend every event or function. If you wish coverage, please arrange for this ahead of time to not be missed. There are Community Volunteer Reporter forms available from the office or by e-mail for those who would like some guidelines for submitting articles and information on your own. Please keep copy down to a reasonable length for consideration for publication. Remember to adhere to the published deadlines to have your advertisements, coming events, announcements, articles and photos on time to be considered for inclusion in a specific edition. We will do our best to serve you, but do need sufficient time to do so properly within our appointed schedules. I look forward to hearing and seeing how people spend this summer. Lucknow News Wow, what a weekend! By Ruth Dobrensky Well another Strawberry Summer - fest has come and gone and from eve- rything I heard it was once again a great success. Despite all the con- struction at the east end of town, the events began last Wednesday with the soccer tournament followed on Thurs- day with the slo-pitch ballgames. There was something for everyone right up to the final slo-pitch on Sun- day afternoon. If you came away from the weekend without having a lot of fun and your fill of strawberries, it was your own fault. I unfortunately was unable to par- take of many of the Summerfest events as I was attending the Dobrenslcy fam- ily reunion in Niagara Falls, New York. We have a few U.S. Cousins and every few years, the reunion is held over the border. This year's highlight was the 50th anniversary celebrations hap- pening this summer for three of my cousins and their spouses. How many people can say they attended a family reunion and three 50th anniversary parties on the same day? Last Tuesday at St. Peter's Anglican Church, the ACW held their annual (and last) ladies fun night out. The ladies have held this fun night for years and invite all the ladies from all the other churches in town along with any ladies from the other churches in our parish who would like to attend, About 58 ladies were present for the great food, fun and entertainment. A great finish to a long tradition. Last Wednesday, several members of the Lucknow Sepoy Ranees attended an event in Mildmay called the "Mad Hatters Tea Party': I was a bit apprehensive, when I heard that at the end of the invitation, there was a sen- tence ending with "off with your heads". However, the tea was great, the many red hatters gathered there were appropriately dressed and a lot of fun was had by those of us who attended and I got to wear my newest red hat purchased recently on my trip to Toronto's Chinatown. The storms last week seem to have mostly missed Lucknow, but as you all know, many communities surround- ing us were hit, some worse than oth- ers. Wingham had quite a lot of dam- age and where without hydro for some time due to downed trees and power lines. A little bird told me that June Bremner had a birthday on June 21, happy 91st birthday June, we wish you many more. It looks as though the Music in the Fields program is going to be another good one this year for all you country music fans. Sympathy of the community to the families of: John Irwin, 84, Lucknow; Wilfred Strauss, 94, Teeswater; James Hall, 65, Kincardine; Ethel Hoy, 93, Goderich; and, Lucia Johnston, 46, Burnaby, B.C. Purple Grove News Deanna Scott Purple Grove Women's Institute Congratulations to Corabelle and Art Danahy who celebrated their 50th anni- versary on Saturday. Corabelle was raised on the 10th of Kinloss and in Dungannon. The Walker House is a great place for a gathering like that. W I ladies please keep August 12th open for our summer trip. St Andrew's United Church in Ripley celebrated their anniversary recently. They also had a presentation to Shirley Harris in appreciation for her years of ser- vice as organist. Fran and Jim Farrell attended an engagement party for Carmen Farrell and Jeff Knapp at the home of Keith and Brenda Knapp at Ancaster. Hope all the Dad's and Granddad's had a wonderful Father's Day. It was a lovely day. Gabrielle and Greg Smith were home to celebrate with her parents Heather and Sam Finnie. Sympathy to Ray and their family on the death of his wife Donna Osborne Pennington. Shirley and Doug MacDonald had an enjoyable visit with their daughter Stefani and Mike Simpson in New York State recently. What a great turn -out of the Chicken Barbeque in Ripley last Wednesday. Thanks folks for all your hard work. We appreciate the opportunity to visit with friends and neighbours. Mary Anne Kukoly visited with her cousin Roberta (Bobbi) Denny in Clifford last week. Betty Scott and Mary Anne enjoyed a good meal and visit on Thursday.
