Love is in the Air.. .
ith this past weekend celebrating
both Valentine's Day and Family
Day there just had to have been love in the
air. Now, to me, that is not just the heart
fluttering, romantic love that Cupid is sup-
posed to spread, but love for one another
and for yourself.
So, let's start with the love for one
another. We have two very good examples
of that in this week's edition of the Senti-
nel. The United Church Quilting Ladies
have generously donated their time, mate-
rials and talents to produce a stunning
quilt to be used in the palliative care room
at Pinecrest Manor in Lucknow. The bright
butterflies on this sunshine yellow bound
quilt are sure to lift the spirits of those who
are comforted by its warmth. Another
identified need in the community and sur-
rounding area has been addressed by the
opening of the new IWTB's Li'l Bitty Bou-
tique. These enterprises are host to many
co-operative and nurturing services and
quality merchandise wrapped up in a
commitment to growing and networking
with the entire community.
A love of culture and competition are alive
in this edition, as well. The Bruce County
Historical Society has given us a glimpse of
winters long ago by sharing their monthly
column from the archives. The artistic talents
of the Brookside Public School students is
showcased with their Willowbeasts, as well
as the accompanying stories and the suc-
cesses at public speaking. Mike O'Neill has
been recognized for his literary contribu-
tions to society. Although smaller this week
due to early deadlines, the sports page shows
some healthy competition going on. Com-
peting on the international level, we have
Dave McCormick and his dedication to the
sport and competition of coonhound hunt-
ing dogs.
Of course, we are taught that in order to
love someone else, we must first love our-
selves. Jackie Fischer is helping many peo-
ple do just that by coaching them on how to
improve their health and fitness. Rounding
this out is the many articles from the health
care professionals and agencies.
With all this love around, it should help
us all get through this last half of winter.
Think warm thoughts and pass along
warm hugs and smiles. We can get through
this together.

Valentine's Day has come and gone,
some of us got roses and/or candy, some
of us didn't. I hope everyone had a good
Valentine's Day whether you got flowers
or not.
Well as of today, Lent has begun. I as
usual have given up my favourite foods
for Lent, if you didn't know, they are
chocolate and ice cream, so nothing that
even remotely resembles chocolate or ice
cream from now until Easter. What a silly
thing you say, not so, when one such as I
(is addicted to those above mentioned
foods) gives them up, it's a real struggle.
What I also do, is to set aside a modest
amount of money each day and, when
Lent is over, I give it to a charity.
Yesterday was Shrove Tuesday or pan-
cake Tuesday, the idea being that all the
rich desert -like foods are eaten up and
should not be partaken of during Lent.
Many churches in the area held a pan-
cake supper for the enjoyment of all,
because who doesn't like pancakes and
maple syrup. I myself helped out at my
new church of St. Paul's -Trinity in Wing -
ham at their pancake supper.
I know that to a lot of people, anything
to do with religion or a church is out of
fashion or just not on their radar any-
more. For many people they don't even
know what Lent is, let alone follow the
practice of sacrificing something for an
ancient religious tradition.
On another note, I heard from an old
friend who now lives in Maxville,
Ontario. I just found out as he sent me a
Christmas card (in mid Feb.) with his
return address on it. If you knew my
friend Jamie, you wouldn't be surprised.
He is the type of person who will be late
for his own funeral. Now that I know
where he's living (for the first time in sev-
eral years) I'll be able to reconnect with
him and renew our friendship. I'm not
saying it's because he's a Presbyterian
minister (a brother to the friend I men-
tioned a few weeks ago), but I've known
him since I can't remember when, and
he'll never change. I learned to accept it
years ago, for example, if I invited him for
dinner, I'd say come for 5 p.m. even if
dinner wasn't going to be until 6 p.m.,
because I knew he probably wouldn't
arrive until 6:30.

cessful Valentine's coffee break Monday

Shrove Tuesday Pancake suppers.
Sympathey is being sent out from the
community to the family of Winnie Dah-
mer and Dale Haldenby of Westford.
We are hoping all who have had sur-
gery recently will heal quickly and be
well and home soon.
Mary Anne Kukoly enjoyed visiting

denby; Jane Heron and Bob Emerson
and with sisters Frances Kingston of
Chesley and Elizabeth Nicholson.
Ladies, here's a reminder and an invite
to join the Purple Grove WI Institute for
our next meeting and please note the
time has changed to 1 pm, to be held at
the home of Mary Anne Kukoly in Ripley,
on March 4th. This meeting is the Birds's
Eye View, all about the Hummingbirds,
and if you wish to join us, roll call is a
Fact about Hummingbirds.
Lastly has anyone seen our Snowy
Owls around? I was lucky enough to
sight one landed on top of our TV
antenna on the Southline, georgeous
birds to be sure. Sparrow Hawks are on
the hunt as well, noticed one on the
prowl just outside our window in the
tree, watching the bird feeders for some
pray. Interesting to watch them at work
and they are are nice Hawks for the bird
watching enthustises.
Planning an event?
Don't forget to advertise!
