The Lucknow Sentinel, 1993-05-26, Page 5Neworganization for bikers
To the editor:
You may not be aware of this but
May is "Motorcycle Safety and
Awareness" month. So I thought it
would be a good time to tell you
and your readers about a new group
being formed in the area. It is
called R.A.M. - Regional Area
Motorcyclists.
The reason for its organization is
to make motorcyclists aware of
other motorcyclists and events of
their interest. There will be no
meetings, no discrimination against
the bike driven, race, creed or sex
of the driver and no politics. Only
a newsletter four times a year. The
newsletter will consist of: a mem-
bership list including members'
names and phone numbers so that
members can phone other members
and just go for a ride; a list of any
events that members can ride to
and/or get involved in, i.e. poker
runs, toy runs, fall fairs, etc.; any
stories of travels, places of interest
that members have seen or en-
countered on a tour.
The cost is $6.00 for full member
and $4.00 for an associate member
(doesn't get a newsletter). The price
covers the cost of the newsletter.
The associate would be someone
living in the same residence as a
full member.
'r0 THE EDITOR
rime
The main objective of R.A.M. is
to get out and go touring, meet
other motorcyclists and just have
fun! A lot of motorcycling today is
family oriented. My husband has a
sidecar on his bike and our four
year old goes everywhere with us.
I am writing this letter to inform
your readers, who drive or sit on
the back of a motorcycle, of our
program with the hope that maybe
they will want to go for a ride with
us and have some fun.
If anyone is interested they can
either phone or write Corey Wor-
mington, R.R.#1, Wingham, On-
tario, NOG 2W0. (519) 357-3881
(leave a message on my machine).
Cancer lbanvass
nets $6;200
To the editor.
April was Cancer Month, when
the Canadian Cancer Society carries
out its country -wide campaign to
raise funds t'or its continuing fight
against cancer.
Lucknow and area once again
successfully contributed their part to
this campaign, thanks to the
generous support of our many
volunteers, canvassers and the
response from the general public.
Our final total increased once again
to $6227.15.
every time you donate money to
the Canadian Cancer Society it is
put to work to fight cancer. Forty-
nine cents of every dollar goes to
research, 21 cents to patient ser-
vices; 18 to education; six to
fundraising and six to ad-
ministration. Last year the Bruce
County Unit helped 198 cancer
patients for a total of over $92,000.
Besides the 44 canvassers of
Lucknow and two that covered the
area of Highway 86 east and west,
the local Cancer .Society was ably
assisted by the Women's Institutes:
ICairshea (7), Holyrood (8), and
Reid's Corners (9). This year the
Reid's Corners area was divided
with 12 canvassers looking after the
Point Clark sections.
Sincere thanks to all who par-
ticipated.

Chamber of Commerce writes
to, B of M manager
The following letter was sent by
the Lucknow Chamber of Com-
merce to George Heisz, Community
Banking Manager, Bank of
Montreal.
Dear Mr. Heisz:
It is with great disappointment
that we discussed your letter at our
recent Chamber meeting. The total
membership feels that given some
of the locations that your bank has
placed Automated Machines, that
Lucknow should have had one long
ago.
Lucknow is on a very highly
•travelled highway (#86) with many
cottagers stopping and shopping. As
a business 'owner myself, I have
had customers express disap-
pointment that there was no
banking machine in town.
He's looking
for your
favorite -
home remedy
To the editor:
I teach at York University in
Toronto and am working on a book
on home remedies and cures"' which
we used. in Canada by our parents
and grandparents.
Such remedies of necessity relied
en easily available ingredients
which had become tried and true by
use over mann years. Inome
instances, the treatment may wave
seemed to the patient worse than
the' cure Yet, families used them -
and ind'viduals swore by them.
I woud be .very pleased to hear
from ar.y of your readers who
would share such recollections,
stories or home remedies with me.
Please cop.taci • Jim Cameron, 904

Trivia
What four American presidents ran
unsuccessfully for re-election on
third -party tickets?
John Tyler, who withdrew his can-
didacy before the election, Martin
Van Buren, Millard Fillmore, and
Theodore Roosevelt.
Particularly disturbing was the
last line of your letter: "We value -
our almost ninety year association
with the Village of Lucknow..."
Perhaps another way to look at our
request is that 'it's time to give
something back to the community
which has allowed your bank td do
so well for so long.
•
These are the feelings of our
executive and membership and we _
do hope you will reconsider your
position as it would seem very
improper for us to approach a com-
petitive bank that we have not
patronized.

Discriminating
dogs like these
special snacks
RAMBLINGS
MI .by Pat Lrvtngston
Oficial preservatives)", I know my
"discriminating" dog would expect
me to travel- to the city for his
snacks. No plain bone for
him/her/ii.
Your choice of snacks for your
best friend are lovingly placed in a
white bag that has Fido's stamp
(paw mark) of approval.
According to the literature on the
bag, Fido is a real dog who lives in
Chicago where he (I think he's a'
he) owns and operates what is
referred to. as "famous" Fido's
Doggie Deli. ,
I wonder if you can take your
"best' friend" in to sniff and ponder
what treat he'd like for the day.
We've got cemeteries for pets,
delis for dogs, why not an eat -in
establishment for our four -legged •
friends to get together and shoot the
breeze. Over a bowl of bottled
water they could weigh the pros
and cons of that all important ques-
tion - to eat or not to eat meat! •
