Canada . pcna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Happy Easter and Safe Spring Sring is a time for Easter, but is also a time to p begin new routines and face new challenges. 's issue of the Sentinel covers many areas of safety and preparedness, but also holds some happy thoughts and memories. The annual Variety Night hosted by the Lucknow United Church had a spring theme of `April Showers Brings May Flowers : It was awonderful evening that put the spring in a lot of people's step from the deco- rations to the delicious meal, to the enjoyment of the talents of local youth through adults. However, the mixture of spring meltwater and spring rains can often cause problems when the combined water levels and runoff are too great. Be sure to read the articles on flooding in this issue, particularly ifyou are in the flood area identified in Huron -Kinloss and in the village of Luclmowbythe Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. The Ontario Insurance Board offers tips to minimize damage from flood. Food safety is another focus of this edition of the Sentinel. We can all be proud that the area farmers and vendors are taking food safety seriously and being responsible in participating in a workshop to educate themselves on practices and standards. This is yet another venue inwhichwe can market our wares with an emphasis on excellence. The Huron County Health Unit also provides safety tips for food handling for consumers from storage to preparation to cooking. Health is again discussed in the articles on the increase in Autism found in students in the Bluewa- ter District School Board and the impacts that are being felt in providing services. Another school related health concem is the number of students who do not have updated immunization records, either due to lack of reporting or because the immu- nizations have not been administered. Getting back to the happy, there was avery suc- cessful bowling event in both Goderich and Luc - know this past weekend to raise funds for Big Broth- ers Big Sisters of North Huron. Lucknow area can be proud to have raised well more than half of the funds that will go to services and programs for those within North Huron. Another win goes to the Peewee Development Team who were awarded the banner and trophy for Most Sportsmanlike Team at the Young Canada Week tournament. We can be proud of both the players and their coaches for such an honour. After all, the old adage goes, "It does not matter whether you win or lose. It is how you play the game:' Here is wishing you all avery Happy Easter and a safe and healthy spring. www.lucknowsentinel.com Dungannon & St. Helen's News Shag Campbell On March 19 there were 9 happy folks for coffee in the morning and 11 players for euchre at the Dun- gannon Seniors Centre.

Last Tuesday, the Lucknow Community Christian Reformed Church held Tuesday's Table for members of the community. A delicious dinner was prepared by volunteers headed up by Ida Piel. The next dinner will be in April at Lucknow United Church. I think that spring is finally here, there have been attempts by winter to reassert itself, but that big old sun has managed to keep the bits of snow that have fallen to melt away quickly while continu- ing to attack the piles of snow still left from winter. Even threats of freezing rain have not been able to put a damper on spring and hopefully another week or so will have us knee deep in flowers and green grass. Speaking of the sun, did any of you out there get to see the northern lights a week or so ago. I just love watching them, but unfortunately I didn't see them this time around. boat launch on Wednesday, March 18. Unfortunately no fish were caught. Randy Kerr celebrated his 65th birthday with a party at Flippin' Eggs on March 25. Sure looked like they were having a good time. Happy birthday Randy.

Call Shag at 519-529-7734. This weekend is Easter and many churches in the area will be celebrating with special services for Maundy Thursday, Good Fri- day, and of course, for Easter Sun- day. Many of us who gave up things for Lent will finally be able to do, or in my case, eat, what I gave up for Lent. I must admit to having had withdrawal symptoms, but after the first couple of weeks, I managed to curtail my cravings for ice cream and chocolate. Boy, am I ever looking forward to Sunday, not just for the chocolate, but for the joyous news that Easter Sun- day brings. Our little family will be getting together for Easter dinner and the exchanging of Easter treats as usual, but it's the family get- together that is important and what I look forward to most. Here's wishing everyone out there a joy- ous and wonderful Easter. I know the children in town will have a good time this Saturday when the Lucknow Chamber of Commerce holds its annual Easter egg hunt.
