If you could
As I was away on holidays When the
last Cheque to pay off the Sports
Complex was presented, I wasn't able
to get up oil my bandstand andspout

put this page under your bird.
Wow! What an accomplishment for
our community. . Four: municipalities
service clubs, and individuals giving
support .to a, mammoth project - work-
ing together to accomplish what other
larger communities are unable to do. Of
course, we were fortunate in geg the
funding' at
the right
time, but it4 r
took the yv
efforts of the}<>;
eo'rl�rlinuatty
to s bring $r y f
about raising
al most
$662,000 in just two and a half years,
The first report we carried in .this
newspaper, regarding the go ahead with,
the project, was ia the, April 1; 1994
issue. Many more . stories and 'venires
followed.
The pride I have in this community
runneth aver. However, I almost' feel
cheated too. I wanted a mammoth; com-
munity party; wanted to. burn ; some-
thing like -people do when their 'mort
gage is paid. off,

see us now!
I guess I'm feeling a sense• of com-
ing down- and I wonder how all those
volunteers in the service clubs and
building and finance: committees are
feeling, No doubt they are breathing a
sight of relief, as are their families who
had to -persevere through many nights
when their loved one• was attending

that took place,

`Frankly, I
like the people, but 1 ":don't like
Lucknow,' the party •said. Asked to
explain the rather puzzling statement;
the answer was to'the effect that the
loge was dead, desperately dead. 'No
tennis court, `no swimming` pool, no
amateur dramatic society... in short lit-
erally nothing for'the young people to
do', was the reply, but plenty of peo-
pie to . criticize - them'; this party : hastily
added.
Well baby, you should see us now!!
