Canada 1ocna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Education makes a difference This week's edition of the Lucknow Sentinel most certainly focuses on education. Congratulations to all of our grads and award winners from all four of the schools who are contributors to our newspaper, the three local elementary schools in Lucknow, Brookside and Ripley aswell as EE. Madill in Wingham. The feature story in this edition shows just how valuable an education can be and how much difference it can make in a per- son's life. The July 1 edition of the Sentinel gave the background information from Trinity United Church in Ashfield Town- ship about a child they had sponsored in the 1980s. This edition gives the perspec- tive of the sponsored child, now that she has become an adult. Irene Leung was so thankful for all the help and encourage- ment that she brought her family to Can- ada to meet her sponsors to thank them in person. Her family was pleased to finally see Trinity United Church, which is located at the intersection of Belfast Line and Halls Hills Road just southeast of the village of Lucknow. They are also curious to discover as much as they can about the village and the surrounding farmlands. It is heartening to see the donations toward the Skills Opportunities Showcase project through the Four Counties Labour Market Board to encourage raising aware- ness of training and job opportunities in the area. The Marlatt Bursary has been awarded to two more local students this year to further their education. Jackie Staehli is taking advantage of the sports programming at Queen University to satisfy her need to compete. Participat- ing at the varsity level gives Staehli the opportunity to travel to take part in the various competitions, providing her with exciting adventures and experiences for herself, and also for her family when they are able to attend her competitions. Although most schools are out for the sum- mer, itis important to keep stimulating the mind. The Lucknow and Ripley Libraries are offering an exciting opportunity to do just that Again, congratulations to all of our area grads and award winners. With these accom- plishments, our future is looking rosey in the hands of these budding young citizens. www.lucknowsentinel.com Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Summer has arrived in Lucknow and everyone has settled into the haying and harvesting of crops and attending church and organization breakfasts, dinners and family picnics. It's just too bad we can't share the extra rain we've been having here with the western provinces and all their forest fires. Even though it always seems that the summer means to slow down, smell the roses (so to speak) and enjoy the warm weather, it appears that there are always a spate of accidents, sometimes tragi- cally, especially with young people and children. If you own ATV's, boats, and even lawn mowers and bikes, teach your children how to handle them properly so that they don't get hurt. Remember that if adults aren't responsible, you can't expect the children to be. This past weekend, I travellled over to my sister's near Midland and then trav- elled with her and her husband up to Sudbury for my great-nephew Jackson's first birthday party. I may be prejudiced but I think he's a cutie patootie and he was the life of the party. It was also good to meet my sister's young overseas visitor Francesca who is from Italy. My sister is a Lioness (hope that's correct) and this is the third or fourth year she has taken in an exchange student. It's great to spend time with family and I'm looking forward to have another "adventure" with my great-nephew Nick in August. I'm in the process of planning our itinerary as we speak. Hopefully, it will keep him interested for the two weeks he's going to be with me. Sympathy of the community to the familly of: Walter Splettstoesser, 79, Bervie. Purple Grove News Purple Grove WI The ladies of the P G Women's Institute and some of their friends enjoyed their annual summer excursion on Thurs- day. We went to Blyth to see the play The Wilberforce Hotel. It was an excellent choice by our organizer Marilyn Reid. Thanks Marilyn. After the play we toured some of the excellent shops in Blyth and then had supper at the Blyth Inn. Good food, good fellowship and fun. Last Wednesday Leona MacDonald Johnson of Bluevale and Twila Jacklin of Listowel visited with Viola Bridge in Kin- cardine and also stopped in at Mary Anne Kukoly's. Shirley and Doug MacDonald visited with their daughter and husband Sheena and Bob Houghton and family of Michi- gan and brought their grandson Ethan home for a visit with his Ripley rela- tives. They all enjoyed the MacDonald family picnic at the Lions Park in Point Clark. Shirley and Doug enjoyed visiting with her cousins Helen Jamieson of Colling- wood and her sister Christine Sterritt of Toronto. While here they also attended and enjoyed the Kincardine Scottish Fes- tival, along with everyone else who attended the Festival. Congratulations folks for the great entertainment. Congratulations to June Elliott who celebrated her 92nd birthday on Satur- day, July 4. June and Earl attended the Stanley family picnic held on Saturday so she had quite a choir sing Happy Birthday to her. Don Elliott of Ferndale Michigan also attended the picnic and visited with Joyce and John Farrell on Sunday. Lea French, Clair, Meredith, Calum and Gabriel of Lakefield stayed with Joyce and John. Meredith competed in the Scottish dancing competition and brought home 3 bronze medals. Her great-grandparents June and Earl Elliott were proud of her and all her hard work. Congratulations to the Bruce OFA for hosting the first Real Farm Food Experi- ence recently. There was a great turnout for a great meal in the field. The meal was prepared from local produce by local food businesses. Congratulations to Dr Robyn Thomp- son and Greg Farrell who were married on Saturday, July 4 in a lovely outdoor wedding in Ripley. Happy 97th birthday to Aleeta Aitken of "R" Villa. The family went on a road trip of the Belmore area before her birth- day supper. She enjoyed meeting her new great-granddaughter Jade Ait- ken. Jade is the daughter of Desiree and Scott. Jade's grandpa Bruce was also part of the gathering. We hope for a speedy recovery for all those who have had surgery recently. Wilma and Cecil Sutton attended his sister Joan Murray's special birthday party at the home of Sally and Charles. There was a good turnout of family and friends to enjoy the celebration. CORRECTION In the article "Lucknow Summerfest Slo-Pitch tournament a success" in the July 8 editon of the Lucknow Sentinel it should have read that Barry Elliot is the former coach of the Cobras from Lucknow. The Cobras were BA Runner-up.
