A Real Mixed Bag
My goodness! What a week it has been!
We have gone from sunshine to rain to,
dare I say it, snow pellets. Not only the weather
has been changeable, but the happenings in the
area have included a mixed bag, as well.
Of course there were pumpkins carved and
costumes of many makes and sizes as we marked
another All Hallow's Eve, better known as
Halloween.
This was followed closely on the heels by the
Poppy Drive by the Legion leading up to Remem-
brance Day. Widi recentviolence talcing place in
our nation's capital and elsewhere, endangering
our military personnel, it brings the importance
of honouring those who protect us to the fore-
front It is commendable that so many have
shown their support of our troops and first
responders as a way to deal with the tragedies
that have struck Yes, these brave citizens have
chosen dangerous careers, but it is their dedica-
tion that keeps us safe to carry on with our lives,
even as they risk theirs.
The very same day as the Poppy Drive, the Luc-
lcnow United Church was getting people started
on their Christmas decorating and gifting.
It seems that within 24 hours we had touched
October, November and December. Time seems
to be passing fast enough as itis, even with the
clocks having fallen back on the weekend.
We have just gotten through our municipal
elections. Now there have been local conventions
for both the Liberal and Conservative parties to
gear up for provincial and federal elections. Time
keeps right on marching forward, as we must do,
as well.
Fall is most certainly a season of transition.
Our special days and celebrations mark the
passing of time. We are approaching the
shortest days of daylight in the year. With
this in mind, we should be striving to make
every day count. Time is a gift we are all
given. We are never sure how much we
have, but we can make an effort to use it
wisely. But, just like the weather and the
special days we mark, remember to mix it
up a bit to experience the joy of a well-
rounded and well -lived life.

Congratulations and happy 80th birthday
to Marie Collingwho will be celebratingwith
her family and friends this coming weekend.
This past weekend there were several din-
ners on offer for anyone who was able to
attend. Kingarf Anglican Church held their
annual beef bbq and the Auburn Lions held a
pancake brealcfast with proceeds going to the
CENXRadiothon.
Also this past weekend, Lucknow United
Church held their annual bazaar and bake
sale and lunch with something available for
everyone.
This coming weekend, there will be a
blood donor clinic at the community centre,
if you are able to donate blood, please
consider doing so, you never know when a
loved one may need a transfusion.
It was good to see that we have another
bumper crop of scholars here in Lucknow.
I'm sure that everyone congratulates all the
students who have won awards and scholar-
ships and have started college or university.
Well now that our municipal elections are
over, we hope that our new mayors and
councils will do their due diligence for our
communities

I always enjoyvisiting the farm of Menno
Miller. It reminds me of farms when I was a
little boy with its collection of sheep, goats,
milk cows, cattle, chicken, turkeys, pigs and
of course horses. Twenty of them.
Johnny Miller is keeping busy sharpen-
ing cross cut saws and repairing farm
machinery. It is nice to see the Amish
farmers ploughing with 4 horses and riding
