Cana11+1 crgocnaI Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Feast or Famine It has most certainly been a busy week in and around the area. So many places to go, things to do, people to see. There has been so much going on that it would not all fit into one edition of the Sentinel. First of all, I have the pleasure of introduc- ing our new Office Administrator, Joy Jur- jens. She has joined us this week after Jessica Bailey moved on to new employment. We wish both well in their new positions. As the school year begins, the Lucknow Highschool Reunion had their biannual gathering. Many in our communities have asked why the Sentinel no longer runs col- umns written by the students of the local schools. Lucknow Central Public School, Ripley -Huron Community School and Brookside Public School have all been asked and have accepted the invitation to submit weekly reports. I am looking for- ward to bringing this feature back to the communities. In the interim, Ripley -Huron and Lucknow schools have already been making news that appears in this issue. There are events still to come. Look in this week's Sentinel to find out about the Bruce Botanical Food Garden Harvest Dinner and Auction and the upcoming movie to be shown at Lucknow's Red Tent at Grassroots Retreat. The Fall Fairs for both Lucknow and Ripley are fast approaching. Please remember that if you wish to promote your event that the Sentinel needs sufficient lead time to get your message into print before the event takes place. The Bruce County Plowing Match was held just south of Ripley. The results are in this edi- tion. More photos and interviews from the match will appear in an upcoming issue. We congratulate those who are making a difference by raising funds and awareness, such as the ALS Bucket Challenge partici- pants and the Ride for Dad. Recognition is also due for a local regular blood donor and a memorial tree planting for a former resident. I would like to remind those who have photos and stories to submit that the deadline for the Wednesday edition is 2 p.m. on the preceding Friday. However, I would ask that if it is possible you could send in your stories and pictures earlier to alleviate some of the rush to prepare for printing. This would be greatly appreciated and would allow for each item to receive the careful attention it deserves. Lucknow News By Ruth Dobrensky An 80th birthday celebration was held recently at the Legion for Frank Alton. It was obvious that Frank's involvement with the Ag Society is not unjustified, the flower arrangements at his party were absolutely beautiful. It was with sadness that Lucknow heard about the fire at the Lucknow Community Christian Reformed Church. We understand that the con- gregation is temporarily holding ser- vices at Lucknow Presbyterian Church while repairs are being made to their church.We do hope that the damage was not too extensive and that the con- gregation will be back in their own church before too long. Last Sunday, Nancy MacIntyre of the Eastern Star travelled to Trinity Anglican Church in Blyth (Parish of New Begin- nings) to present a scholarship cheque to Brittany Cartwright who is planning to enter the ministry. For all those out there who attend Tuesday's Table, it will be starting up again in October. Tuesday, Oct. 7, to be precise, the first meal will be held at St. Peter's Anglican Church. I spent last Friday in Blyth at the Threshers Reunion in Blyth working at the Trinity Anglican booth where we served bacon on a bun along with fresh cut fries and onion rings until I looked like bacon on a bun with fries. This was the third or fourth year I've done this and although it makes for a long exhausting day, it's also a lot of fun. I see that there will be a soap box derby at the fair again this year, if only I were about 50 years younger, I'd enter the race myself. Before you laugh, I was in a home made movie many years ago where I drove a soap box in a race, and won. Before you say, it was in the script, the outcome wasn't planned, in fact, the entire movie was ad-lib. Sympathy of the community to the families of: Dorothy MacKinnon, 82, Teeswater; Mary Nethery, 82, Belgrave; and Shirley Christianson, 78, Lucknow. Lucknow UCW News Submitted Lucknow UCW Afternoon Group met on September 2 in the Church Parlour. Deanna Reavie welcomed everyone back from our summer break. As her own sons and young grandchildren are currently visiting in Ontario, Deanna opened the program reading "Grandmothers are Old -Fashioned" based on 2 Timothy 1:5. Grandmothers have lots of experience and opinions to share, so make the most of these opportunities with grandchil- dren; read them Bible stories, pray for them, tell them Jesus loves them, for they do absorb it all. We sang the hymn "A little seed lay fast asleep". Deanna read an inspiring article about retirement and the freedom it presents to embrace new opportunities. We sang "Father, lead me day by day". As Labour Day has just been, Karen Latour read an amusing resume punning a lifetime of jobs. And now we are in Sep- tember, Deanna read a lovely reflection "September Song". Our days grow shorter and the weather is variable as we welcome autumn, this wonderful time of the year. Karen opened business first reading an inspirational article about moving into a retirement residence and the ben- efits of adapting with a positive outlook on embracing the new environment. Minutes were read. Eight members answered roll call with highlights of their summer. Shirley Bolt gave the Treasur- er's report. Our September birthdays are Mary Boyle, Ruth Pritchard, and Sharon Wright. We send get well wishes to Joyce Adamson in Wingham Hospital. The Least Coin newsletter, written by a woman in Halifax about "bullies", asks that we soothe their hurts, and as onlookers that we have the courage to confront and defuse situations with for- giveness, respect, and peaceful action. We repeated the Prayer of the Least Coin. Karen closed reading "Dogs Allowed", an amusing flip of logic on why a hotel owner trusts dog behaviour over human. We repeated the UCW Prayer. We enjoyed continued fellowship over a cup of tea and raspberry and pineapple desserts prepared by Ruth Pritchard and Shirley Bolt. A reminder of the next Gen- eral Meeting on September 23 at the Church. Planning an event? Don't forget to advertise! The Lucknow Sentinel 519-528-2822
