Canada' Aocnal Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies The Giving Spirit It is evident throughout the pages of this edition of the Lucknow Sentinel that the giving spirit is alive and well in our rural area. This definitely flies in the face of statistics that continually rate rural areas as financially inferior. Although there is not the same per capita income, that does not dampen the hearts and minds of those who choose the rural lifestyle. In Peter Carter's account of his fundrais- ing efforts this year, it is fitting that he chose to thank those who so willingly opened their hearts and pocketbooks to support him in his causes. It is as much a tribute to those who sponsor as to those who participate in the various events in the area. There are so many worthwhile causes to support. It takes very special individuals to choose to be the face of fundraisers. Not everyone has the ability, skills or time to participate in the various events. It is through sponsoring those who can and do participate that many are able to show their caring and willingness to help others. The need to partner services to bring about a greater good is evident in the South Bruce OPP and Victim Services working cooperatively and combining resources to better address the needs of those served by both. We see more donations from the Brook- side Public School who participated in the Stuff a Bus campaign and the Kinsmen's donation to help with Health Care Profes- sional Recruitment for Wingham and area through funds raised at Music in the Fields. The acknowledgement of achievements was very evident through the awards given at the Commencement Ceremony at F. E. Madill. What better way to ensure a better future than to help support those who are just beginning their adult careers and endeavors? Although these are all wonderful exam- ples of giving, it is a reality that there will always be more needed in the future. There will be more expansion of programs and facilities. Ongoing research requires ongoing funding. It takes more than a vil- lage to raise our children anymore, it takes an ever-expanding circle to address the needs and provide the resources for improvement, growth, knowledge and skills to carry us all into the future. Congratulations and a hearty thank you to those who have stepped up to take on the challenge of representing the various causes, who have participate in the fund- raising events and also those who have sponsored those who have www.lucknowsentinel.com made the commitment to make a difference. Your contributions will make a big difference for many. Let's keep the ranks of givers and helpers growing. You never know when you will be the one in need of help. While it is honourable to pay it for- ward, it is also prudent to pay ahead. Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky It's been another busy week around Lucknow. Lucknow United Church held their annual turkey supper at the Com- munity Centre. At the same time, the Lucknow Community Christian Reformed Church held Tuesday's Table at St. Peter's Parish Hall. I know that the Tuesday's Table dinner was delicious as I was there and I hear from a reliable source that the United Church's supper was fantastic. Speaking of the Lucknow Community CRC, the work in their church is coming along and there is hope that they "might" be back in their church by Christmas. This past weekend a harvest bazaar was held in Ripley at St. Andrew's United Church. There was something for everyone including lunch. Yesterday the Alzheimer Society held a free education session at St. Helen's Community Hall for anyone who wished to attend. They provided information, resources and programs for people who are caregivers for family members or friends. There are a number of things happen- ing in the community this weekend, the Legion is holding a Hallowe'en Pub for the older kids with prizes for the best costumes while our younger children are out trick or treating. Speaking of Hallowe'en, there will be a lot of children out and about this Fri- day night so drive carefully and keep your eyes open for children running about. Children sometimes forget to watch for traffic when they are excited and having fun, so drive especially slowly and carefully, we don't want any- one's evening to end in tragedy. This coming Saturday, the Legion is holding their annual poppy drive, they will be out looking for your support, so give generously and help them with this good cause.
