Canada' Aocna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Lots to Give Thanks For Thanksgiving 2014 has come and gone but there is much to be thankful for, so why stop in early October? Another edition of the Lucknow Sentinel is off to the presses. While compiling this issue it is plain that there is so much going on around us to give us pause. We have some amazing citizens celebrating milestone birthdays, fundraisers to keep our communities grow- ing into the future and the appreciation shown to our service club members for the contributions they make to our communities year round. Most of the fall fairs have come and gone, display- ing the fruits of the labours of those who provide us with our daily needs. Mother Nature has donned her colourful robes in the many trees and vegetation. All are in preparation for the coming season. Before we know it, Hallowe'en will be upon us. It is very fitting that a lot of the symbols for this spooky night also include the bounty of the harvest. Excite- ment fills the air as new sports seasons begin and school programs are in full swing. We have been reminded that this may be the time to schedule fall preparatory maintenance to our homes and vehicles. As we know, you never know when the weather will suddenly and drastically change. It is also time to plan your fall and winter wardrobe. Please remember when you are clearing out the old to bring in the new that you consider donating items that still have lots of life in them to the agencies, clubs and businesses that look after redistributing them to those who can make use of them. This is a good time to change up your activities. As the days grow chilly and damp, many prefer to spend more of their time indoors. There are all sorts of things to do in and around the area to keep idle minds and bodies going through the traditional shut-in months. Allyou have to do is go out and find the right fit foryou and yours. One of the best activities is to just go out and visit with your friends and family. Take the time to renew and strengthen the bonds and build wonderful memories for the future. Many are looking forward to their holiday travel to escape what is yet to come. This involves more than just the trip itself. Make sure you have made arrange- ments for looking after your home, any family mem- bers including pets that will remain behind, take pre- cautions to not have mail or other items building up around your home to let uninvited intruders know that the home is vacant for the duration of the travels. Whatever you choose to do remember to go ahead with an Attitude of Gratitude. Thanksgiving may come just one day per calendar year, but like Christ- mas, the sentiments and activities can be carried throughout the year to enrich our own lives and the lives of those with whom we share. Dungannon and St. Helen's News Shag Campbell On Saturday, Oct. 11, 2014 Shag Campbell celebrated his 75th birthday at the Goderich Grill. Guests came from Middlemiss, Newbury, Blyth, Sheppardton and Goderich. Menno Miller and Levi Yoder are selling red and white potatoes for $10.00 for a 50 lb. bag. Ed Shetler is busy shoeing horses. Most of the silos are full of corn and the beans are coming off and wheat is going in. There is log sawing at the Walk- erton Fair which runs, 17th, 18th and 19th. Wayne and Dawn Tucker have been spotted driving around in their antique Dodge car. The Thanksgiving service at Christ Church, Port Albert was led by retired Archdeacon John Spen- cer of Stratford, assisted by Joan Campbell. The church was all decked out with fruits and vegeta- bles, 3 sheaves of corn and an old- fashioned wheelbarrow full of stuff, and a huge arrangement of tall weeds in a milk can. The Alton boys, Brett and Jake have been racing again this summer. Brett has moved from his 65 CC bike to an 85 CC one that he got for Christmas. He likes the big- ger bike but struggles a bit with it. Jake has been doing awesome this year, finishing 3rd overall in the 50 CC intermediate class in the sum- mer series and is now in 1st place for the fall series. Jake got an early birthday gift of a 2012 Cobra 50 CC which he raced in the Walton Trans Can National and placed very well, 9th overall out of 18 rac- ers from all over Canada and the USA in the 50 CC 4-6 yr. old class. Brett had the opportunity to race in the Trans Can as well but opted to just come and watch and cheer on the other racers he knew who were competing. Hopefully, next year Brett will be more com- fortable and confident on his 85 CC and will race the National as well as with Jake. Good going boys. Special notice to seniors—There is a senior coffee hour every Thurs- day at 10 a.m. at the Dungannon Senior Centre. Come for a coffee and a visit with friends.

Celebrating her 80th birthday with friends and family this weekend is Marina Park, congratulations Marina. Happy 75th birthday to Beatrice Madge, we wish you many more Bea. This past Sunday night, St. Peter's Anglican Church held a combined service in an evening service that celebrated Harvest Home and Wel- come back Sunday, but more impor- tantly, celebrated the many hours of work in the community that our local Lions Club and Royal Canadian Legion have performed here in Luc - know. A good crowd from the com- munity attended the special celebra- tions and took time to partake of refreshments where they could per- sonally thank members of the Lions and Legion for their contributions to our community. It's that time of year again when churches and organizations all over the area will be holding bazaars and suppers and craft shows. Check out the coming events ads so you don't miss out on a chance for a great bar- gain or a gourmet dinner. Congratulations to Helene Jakobsen on the opening of her third store, the latest one in Lis- towel. Well done Helene. Once again our weather is doing an up and down thingy that be confusing to the system, one day warm and rainy, the next sunny and cold. Could we put in an order for a nice, long Indian Summer with steady temperatures. I for one would really appreciate it. Sympathy of the community to the families of: June Dawson, 82, Lon- don; Joyce Farrish, 64, Waterloo; and, Hilda Schumacher, 91, Walkerton.
