Canada .ocna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Good Sports around Lucknow It seems that there are a lot of good sports in and around Lucknow. Or, is it more that they are a sporting lot. Congratulations to Cliff Mann on his 60th birthday and the gift that his staff bestowed on him of playing on his dream team. That will certainly be a memory that will be cherished for a very long time. The Karate club that studies under Sensai Doug Avery did very well during their first time competing at a tournament. Anyone who is interested in martial arts would do well to look into the classes at Mayfair Training in Lucknow. Aim and Suzanne Andrew are most certainly good sports when it comes to working for the chanty Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW). This is a noble cause and it would be great to give them support by donating bed kits to the chil- dren in need. Watch for further updates as the trip draws closer. While we are on the topic of competitions, it is time to start planning for the 2015 Lucknow Fall Fair. The Agricul- tural Society could use some more volunteers to come on as Directors and helpers. Consider becoming a member of the Society and be a part of putting on the Fall Fair and participating in other fundraising events throughout the year. A big project coming up is the rebuilding of the poul- try barns on the Society grounds. The Society is open to ideas for fundraising for this major project. If you would like a project this summer, think about helping out at Whitefield Farm to learn about organic farming first-hand. The Morrisons will be hiring interns. If you are interested in that aspect of the venture, look online at Canada hiring sites for applications. V -Day Lucknow is a fundraiser coming up in early Feb- ruary. Be sure to read the article to learn about this event and the parent movement that it supports. While SCAW helps needy children get a good night's sleep, V -Day events raise funds and awareness surrounding violence against women and girls around the world. I would like to thank the ladies who wish to remain name- less that submitted the story about the storm of 1971.1 remember that specific storm myself, having been storm - stayed at a teacher's home in Dundalk for 3 days when it swept through Grey County, as well. We could not make it the 9 miles (it was still miles at that point) home to Hopeville. For those in the younger generations, stories like this help to illus- trate just how powerful a storm can be. It can literally hold people hostage in order to stay safe. This is why the extensive bus cancellation protocols have been implemented and advice is given each winter on how to be prepared for such emergencies. It is generally better to be storm -stayed at home with all the amenities, than to be trapped in a facility that is meant for daytime use and not for overnight accommodation. It was interesting to watch the demolition of the homes on Wheeler Street. That is the first time that I had seen one close enough to watch the progression. If you have interesting photos or stories you would like to share, please send them and and photos in jpg format to lucknow.edi- torial@sunmedia.ca. I look forward to your submissions. Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Last Wednesday, the Lucknow Sepoy Ranees were invited to a pot-lucklunch at Huron Haven by the Huron Haven Happy Hatters, and a great lunch it was too. The HHHH also invited the Ladies of the Lake at Meneset who are the infamous ladies who created a nude calendar a few years back. They are currently in the process of creating another calendar, (not in the nude). A young man called the phone number on the ad to order six calendars and got the husband of the lady in charge of orders, when the husband told the young man that the ladies in the calendar were all over 60, the young man hung up. This is Alzheimer Awareness month and there has been a lot of information in the papers and on the TV about the disease and how to deal with it when either you or a loved one is diagnosed with it. One of the most important things I have learned from all of this, is to have a power of attomey and an up-to-date and valid will just in case something happens and you are no longer able to handle important decisions for yourself. So look after yourself, but most importantly, make sure that you have plans in place with family or friends and a lawyer, just in case. The cold weather has been bone chilling, but, the amount of snowfall has been minimal, mak- ing aking the getting around a lot easier this last week or so. It was so nice for a few days that if you just looked up at the lovely blue sky, you'd never know it was winter Because of this lovely cold weather, it's the time of year when I always want to eat hearty soups and stews and casseroles with lots of veggies and a bit of heat. So I think I'll go home and make somethingwarm and com- forting to keep both my insides and outsides nice and warm.

Lucknow Library Movies Grant Roberston Lucknow Public Library The next free movie at the Lucknow Library will be "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (TMNT). Movie starts at 6:30 pm on January 28th. TMNT is an action -packed thriller based on the iconic car- toon series. Storyline: Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fear- less reporter April O'Neil and her cameraman Vern Fenwick to save the city and unravel Shredder's diabolical plan. As you can probably imagine there is a lot of kicking and whacking and so on in a movie of this type, so it is not intended for little ones despite the marketing. Next up will be "Dolphin Tale 2" on February llth. It is a heart-warming family - friendly tale. Following that will be the Oscar nominated "Boyhood" on Feb 25th. See you at the movies Grant Dungannon & St. Helen's News Shag Campbell Well here we are almost the end of January. Spring is only a few weeks away and there is not much news. People must all be hibernating. Sunday, January 25th is the celebration of Robbie Burns birthday and renowned Scottish poet. A good time to have a "wee dram" to warm up your insides. On January 14th, Shag and Joan Campbell spent another enjoyable dinner hour at the Maitland Restaurant in Wingham with Lyle and Yvonne Youngblut. Don't forget Ron Brindley's snowmobile fun day of Sunday February 8th. The coffee hour on Thursdays at the Dungannon Senior Cen- tre has been cancelled for now but there is still euchre at 1 p.m. Got some news? Call Shag at 529-519-7734
