Canacri ocna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Out in the Country is a Busy Place to Be Each week I am charged with writ- ing an editorial for this space. Sometimes I can take my topics from the main focus of the specific edition. Other times I can focus on something that is a major happening in the area. This week as I look over the content there is no one thing that pops out at me. What does strike me is that this is a very busy and diverse area to live in! I have often had people ask me why I would ever want to live in a small commu- nity, or worse, out in the countryside among the farms. The common lament I hear is that there is nothing to do in the country. So not true! While it is possible to come to this area for a relaxing holiday, there is always some- thing to do for those who live and work here if they just look for it. For many it is the work itself, that takes up their time. However, as was stressed at the last Huron -Kinloss Cultural Roundtable meet- ing, if something is worth doing, you make time for it. This brought up another point. In order to know what to get involved with, you have to know what is out there. That is one of the main focuses of the Roundtable, to get some networking set up and to get the word out to groups and the communities of what is available, both as activities and services as well as oppor- tunities to get involved as a volunteer. As editor of the Sentinel, I have had the honour of being invited to attend or cover many of the things going on in the reader- ship area to spread the word, help to raise awareness and funds, promote events and activities and celebrate successes. Com- munication is key to everything that is happening and in planning what will hap- pen in the future. I very much appreciate those who have been helping me in many ways to open up the lines of communica- tion to let information flow. As this is a very packed edition, I am not going to take any more space here. Please take the time to check out all of the news, events and opportunities presented. I am sure many would be amazed at just how much goes on in the countryside. Of course, living here, we already knew that! Kinloss-Kairshea Thirteen members and seven guests met at the Town Hall for their September meeting. President Charlene McEwan welcomed everyone and read a poem "Autumn", The Institute Ode and Mary Stewart Collect opened the meeting. Following the business including Fall Fair display, the Rally and Area Conven- tion, humorous readings from our Septem- ber birthday girls were read by Irene Hal- denby, Erema Haldenby and Kathy Gibson. Karen Allen, Alic Ritchie and Marion MacKinnon were in charge. Marion had a reading and Alice introduced our guest speaker, Ellen Gilchrist, who, with her mother Marylyn, gave a power point pres- entation of Midwifery. She explained the history, benefits and future hopes of the profession. She related some of her per- sonal experiences as she furthers her studies. The roll call was "bring an item for a lay- ette" which were presented to Ellen. Karen thanked Ellen and gave her a gift. June reported on the Lions dinner which netted a $200.00 profit. Charlene thanked everyone who helped. Grace and Oh Canada closed the meeting. Joan Murray and Margie Stanley served a delicious lunch and a time of fellowship fol- lowed as we exchanged books. Purple Grove News Purple Grove WI The Parkinson's SuperWallc fundraiser was on Sunday the 7th in Kincardine with a great turnout on a beautiful day. Shirley and Doug MacDonald and some of their family were among the helpers from the Grove. Congratulations to Betty and Art Helm who celebrated their 50th anniversary recently, to Fran and Jim Farrell on their anniversary, and to Judy and Wayne Murray who celebrated their 30th anniversary.

Best wishes to all who have returned to LUCKNOW NEWS By Ruth Dobrensky A couple of weeks ago, my cousin, Diane Wartnaby called to invite me over as Tony's daughter and grand -daughter were coming up for a visit. Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the Wartnaby's to find not only Diana and Samantha, but Tony's cousin Susan and her husband David Betteridge. Diane thought it would be a nice surprise for me, and it was. Susan and David are here visiting for a couple ofweeks and it's always good to see and catch up with them. Last Wednesday night, the Lucknow Sepoy Ranees attended a gala in Hanover. As usual, the event was a fun evening with lots of great food and entertainment and several hundred women wearing red and purple. Even without all the extras, just see- ing all those women dressed in their finery was really great and boy, did we have fun. After all, as the saying goes, "girls just want to have fun'.' I had a conversation with Pastor Ken of the Community Christian Reformed Church last week and the repairs on the school - students and teachers, and to the new little ones who are attending for the first time. The Purple Grove W I met on Wednesday the 3rd at the Community Centre. We appre- ciated the interesting and inspiring talk of our guest speaker Julie McGuire. Julie was open to questions and gave us lots of help with our photographic endeavours. Sandy Gander was the capable hostess for the even- ing. Thanks were received from the Bruce County Plowing Match committe for all the pies made by our members. The Area Con- vention and District Rally are to be held in October and theywere discussed. The Ripley Fall Fair display was discussed and a reminder that we are to make pies for the booth. Lunch was provided by Maureen Col- lins and Mary Anne Kukoly and a fun time of visiting finished off the meeting. church are going well, but the date for the congregation to get back in is uncertain at this time. Tuesdays' Table is due to start again on October 14 (not Oct. 7 as I said in last week's paper, sorry) at St. Peter's Anglican Church. The second dinner which is to be hosted by Lucknow Community Christian Church will be October 21 and will be held at St. Peter's Anglican if the Christian Reformed Church's repairs are not completed. This past Saturday a 90th birthday cele- bration was held at the Goderich Legion for Ed Pyette. Ed was very active at the Luc - know Legion for a number of years and many people from Lucknow attended the party. Congratulations and happy birthday Ed. Lucicnow's Fall Fair will be here before we know it, get out and enjoy the parade and all the other events that will be happening fall fair weekend.
