I really enjoyed the Settlers Creek Band and the tasty treats that were available all weekend from the food booths to the fair breakfast. It was nice to see the kids from.around the area enjoying the rides on the midway: Small town fairs really showcase the type of commu- nity one has and for Lucknow, it's evident that it's a down to earth kind of place, but at the same time, the people here know how to have fun. I've only been to one other fall fair and that's the Owen Sound one and the Lucknow one was a just as fun. I especially got a kick out of the soap box derby. Watching the kids zoom down the hill in their derby cars was amusing, but at the same time, I was amazed at how well driven they were. This may be my first and last Lucknow Fall Fair, since I'll be leaving the. Sentinel this winter, but the fair left me With some good expe- riences. Who knows, I may just come back next fall fair to check out all the. great events. The weather isettin a little l� g colder for the fall months and this will probably be one of the last out- door events until next year, so it was good to enjoy one last weekend of fun without all the snow that will be inevitable this upcoming winter. It was nice to see everyone enjoy.the - weekend and how well it was put together by the Lucknow Agricultural Society. Mailboxes eing vandalised in area Dear Editor, I am writing this letter pirf to the teens or young - o the adults who keep vandal- izing our mailboxes in the Zion Rd. St. Helens, IBelgrave area Although this letter r presents my thoughts and my opiniim, there are many other : neighbours whose mailboxes have been vandalized as well. Personally we have gone through seven mailboxes in less than the three years I have lived here. It would have been more, but some were still usable after the damage and like many others we just kept using the banged up, trashy looking mail boxes until they were destroyed completely. We had to take our hard earned money and instead of buying the kids a treat or taking them on an outing we had to purchase yet another mailbox because you have nothing better to do then ruin other peoples property with no regards to our feelings. This latest attack took place on Thursday, Sept. 4 after dark. We bought a. vandal proof mailbox this time so after bashing it a couple times with a baseball bat and realiz- ing it really wasn't a sufficient amount of damage you decided to rip the top part off and leave the post that wasn't removable because of the cement. For some stupid rea- son you decided, to then itor drop it along with other mailboxes off at a neigh- bour's house, (many thanks to this neighbour for taking the trouble to drive around and find out who these mailboxes belonged to). You were spotted that night and we have the make and model of your white/silver truck. We have installed a video f camera so all we need is for you to come vandalize it one : more timeso we can collect the last piece of the puz- zle to give to the police, so they can finally` convict you. Our bill to you is over $500. Multiply that by the number of people you have vandal- ized and it sure adds up. Come on guys or gals we have better things tospend our time and money on then having to replace mailboxes. Please note that this .letter is intended for the small group of peo- ple that committed this crime. I have had the pleasure to meet some of the most wonderful, caring peo- ple, kids, teens, and young adults in this community and realize this is just a small group that is trying to get some sort of thrill or kick from doing this. Sentinel • emoirs iO nears ago - SepL 221999 - Huron -Kinloss road name changes were completed at council's Sept. 13, 1999 meeting. Because the 911 emer- gency service doesn't allow duplicated names in a township,, Campbell Street in Point Clark was changed to Clemett Street. Council said it was best to change Point Clark's street name because Campbell Street in Lucknow, is their main street. : - A 16 -year-old Huron, 'Nix youth and a :16 -year-old sardine youth have been charged with theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property.
