When 1 arose 'frorri 'a restless night last
Friday morning, I should have known
things were going to go down 'hill from
there .on! , I'd suffered one of those nights
where you toss and turn and can't get
any 'relief from the heat. Morning finds
you feeling like you have been drug
through a ringer.
Normally, a very efficient person, who
never misses an appointment, and is
always on time or early, I was agast
when I was informed that the previous
evening I had missed a very important
picture assignment.
How do you apologize to an efficient
person who booked °the appointment way
in advance? Very profusely!
How do you apologize to seven young
ladies who took time ,.out of their schedule
to be at the appointed place? You get
down on your knees and eat crow seven
times.
Fortunately I was able to get my butt
out of the Ming and saved the day, with
the cooperation of the young ladies in
question.
To those .involved. one more time, "I'm
sorry"
It Rained on our "Parade"
Well it did - it rained on our merchants'
parade-of-sidewalk-sales.€l--go
for close to six weeks without rain and
wouldn't you know it, Friday that much
sought after moisture damped the spirits
of the merchants and those shoppers
searching for bargains. We all kept in
mind the area farmers and hoped it was
not too late to do them some good.

recognized by its peers in the Communi-
ty Newspapers Advertising Competition.
Advertising manager Tom Thompson'
head is just a 'wee bit 'bigger today after
he was informed that theSentinel had
placed second in its category for general
excellence. Tom was also responsible for
the the third place standing for special
sections. The .staff is very proud of these
awards and rightly so'!
Craft 'Festival delights
A tour through the Craft Festival was
a delight for the shopper. There was
something for everyone, with quite a few
-new faces. One crafter commented on the
excellent organization by the Lucknow
Agricultural 'Society. Hats off to
members! Thanks Ruth and Hazel for the
coffee.
Thanks to Gordon McIntyre of Rich-
mond Hill, a faithful reader of the Sen-
tinel. It is nice to know so many aple
enjoying reading our paper. A thanks
also goes out to all those others who
made my week. It seemed to be full of
compliments for some reason. It's people
'like you that make this job enjoyable.

whether I have tackled the chain saw
yet. The answer is no. I'm not afraid of
Mr. Fixit, it's just the worry of injuring
some precious part of my anatomy that
is holding 'back. However, I'd had
enough nerve, last week would have been
the ideal time to do my "pruning". Mr.
Fixit abandoned me for a whole three
days. Unfortunately duty called at work
and I just couldn't find the time or the
nerve.
