The Lucknow Sentinel, 1980-02-27, Page 6floprnartee It Was a -great show!'`' The Lucknovv Figure Skating Club'S carnival, Holidays on Ice, was a great perforinance played to a packed house. The dub has progressed ,since their first carnival three years ago and this year's performance was excellent. The public has recognized the fine skaters in the Lucknow club and on Sunday there .was standing room only as over 700 people enjoyed' the program. The club's executive and pros deserve credit as well as the skaters. Carnival chairman, Lynda,'Owen and her assist- ants, Betty McDonaghe Dona Campbell and Joan Dierolf did an excellent job of co-ordinating the production. Lynda and —Betty supervised the:-baking over costumes which add so much colour and a real professional touch to, the show.

Lucknow skaters are working hard on Canadian Figure Skating Association badges and tests throughout the skating year. Their excellent per- formance on Sunday is an indication of their talent and ability. Lucknow has some very fine skaters and thex deservethe support of their club and community. Lucknow skaters are representing the club *at competition throughout the province and this year a senior skater, Melissa Becker, brought, home a gold medal won in competition. The club offered private lessons for the • first time this year. The training acquired from these lessons and the dedication of those skaters who show promise is bound to produce whiners in the future. And indeed the Liicknovv club haS many skaters who show promise.. The club pros, Olive Lapp and Debbie Pettit deserve congrMulations for their effort with skaters as individuals.

To the Editor: In regard the letter written by "Two Young ,Vot- • ers" to the Sentinel and unsigned there are, a few things that the writers failed to mention or were not well informed enough to ltriow. First of all, I have worked at the polling station at every provincial and' federal elec- tion for over forty years and this is the first time I have ever, been labelled 11011 petent and ill infoimed lsy anyone, let alone mere kids who were casting their first: and not more than their second . Moreover I have never had the pleasure of working with a better informed Deputy returning officer than -Miss Sherri Jerome. For the public's informa- tion; we had charge of -twenty-two polls and the poll, -at Port Albert 'was- -not included in our district but belonged to Goderich. Ap, parently thronglv some slip up, they were mot on the polling list in Goderich so they were directed to Luck- now. It.was near the close of polling time and we told them that they had to vote in Goderich, but they insisted that they had to vote' in Lucknow. To clear the matter up a phone call was put in to the returning office for Huron-Bruce riding and he gave us permission for them who have to abide by rules set down by those. higher Up 'and why did they not put some of the blame on the parties who compiled the voters list if their name was omitted? So to the "Two Young Voters", : will''say - that beforeLyou,lab et anyone Nvliq is trying to do' the: fair thing as non, competent' and informed, you take a second thought and realize that we had rule's and regulations to follow-and that we were only trying our.best to carry them out. • remain, Jack Ritchie, Poll Clerk for Advance Poll # 2 In Huron-Bruce. To the Editor: We, would like to thank:the Lucknow Sentinel for helping! us tell the, story of the work of the Ontario March .of Dimes. The residents of. Lucknow; Dungannon and the rural. areas have responded most generously_te the 1980 slog- an "We can't help 'without your help.". A special thank you goes to our thirty-nine dedicated canvassers who volunteered their time to make calls, With this• help, from all, we certainly CAN help the thousands of physically dis- abled adults across this Province. To the Editor: I very much appreciate the splendid co-operation from the many, Willing workers who year after year continue to go out and canvass for the C.N.I.B. making each cam- paign very successful. Thanks to all of you, also to the local papers for their ent eoverage_given-to the C.N.I.B. canvass report each year.

I enjoy getting the news from . around Ripley (borne) especially the hockey news every week. Hope all is well and keep up the good work! Bryan Hoyle. To -the Editor: In the wake of events, in Afghanistan, there seems to be a widespread feeling th4f Canada should increase its military ',spending, While none of us tea* wants to risk a nuclear war, there may seem to be no, other way of resisting aggreSsion. HoweVer, there is another option non-violent resist ance. This method of over- coming Superior physical power was used successfully by Gandhi in India and the civil-.rights movement in the United States, to name but two examples. For us, the -attempt.-10,,..pvcicoine evil with love is based on religi- ous conviction, but for those who don't share this belief, there are other practical rea r sons to opt for non-violent resistance rather than (so- called) better weapons. There can be no perman- ent security for the human race in 'the balance of nuclear terror. 'Trueseciirity requires a spirit of trust and a fair Turn to page 78 Sincerely, Bernice Davies,- - Laura.
