Canada Apcna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies A month of mix The first month of summer has drawn to a close and a busy one it was! This week's edition fea- tures some memorable moments and stories from day one, yes Can- ada Day, through to the last week and beyond. Actually, one article in this issue is much older than this month. The Bruce County Historical Society has submitted the first installment of a history of the Sauble River area, beginning with Sauble Falls Village in 1854. It all began with a sawmill, as did many settlements in Southern Ontario. Not quite history, as yet, a commemorative stamp has been released by Canada Post in honour of Alice Munro. The importance and close relationship this area holds with water- ways and beaches is ongoing. The "Be a Beach Bum, not a Beach Butt" campaign is expanding along the shores of Lake Huron. Littering is not just unsightly, it can cause real environmental and health problems. One lakeside commu- nity also has an ongoing relationship with music. Point Clark hosts a jam- boree at their Commu- nity Centre on alternate weeks. In the comments submitted by the audi- ence, it is most certainly a close relationship for both the musicians and the ones who attend to be entertained. July was also the month for the Lucknow Sepoy Ranees to go on their mystery tour which included meeting alpacas. The Wawanosh 4-H group Huron Har- vesters finished their club with a tour, as well. They were hosted for their Achievement in the garden of Rhea Hamilton-Seegar to learn about native plants. The newest member of the Miltenburg fam- ily, Andrew, was also surrounded by plants as he attended his first flower show in the Luc - know United Church where his grandmother had entered her arrangements. There are two articles in this issue that are tied to the Ripley Reunion. There has been a special song written as the anthem to the 2015 Rip- ley Reunion that fea- tures the history of the village. The building on which the new histori- cal murals have been mounted will also be showcased during the Reunion in the hopes of attracting ideas and development of busi- nesses and housing to keep Ripley growing into the future. The important event coming up in the Luc - know in September is the Fall Fair. There is some advance informa- tion you will want to check out to participate in the various competi- tions and events. Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Congratulations and happy 90th birthday to Betty Ritchie. Many happy returns Betty. Recently, some members of the Lucknow Sepoy Ranees went on a mystery tour. The first stop was at the Graham Alpaca farm on Hwy. 86. An enjoyable time was had by the ladies with some of the friendly Alpacas followed by the opportu- nity to see some of the beautiful garments made from Alpaca hair. We then travelled to Walkerton where we stopped for a coffee break at the Green Bean Cafe and Bakery. After our break we trav- elled through Hanover stopping at Yesterdays Garden Centre where we enjoyed the plants, flowers and gift shop. From Hanover we drove to Durham where we stopped at the Durham Art Gallery to view the work of two first nations artists, Christin Dennis (Chippewa) and Jason Baerg (Cree Metis), Both these young artists are very tal- ented and we were all quite impressed with their work. By that time it was past lunch time so we went to the recommended Garaf- raxa Cafe in Durham for a lovely lunch after which we spent some time shopping. On our way home, we stopped in Walkerton to do a bit of shopping, where some of us were able to find some good bargains. Last week the Lucknow Rumoli Club met for our monthly get together. We had our usual fun and frolicking but were shocked (as many Rumoli players out there would probably be) by the fact that during the evening, there were not one or two wins on the 7-8-9 sequence, but five, three by the same player. We were all flabbergasted. Also last week the Agricultural Society held their annual flower show. I was unable to attend as I'd made other plans and didn't know it was even being held until I acciden- tally saw the sign outside the United Church. I do hope it was well attended. Sympathy of the community to the famillies of: Douglas MacDon- ald, 96, New Hamburg; Ernest Schi- estel, 72, Wingham (formerly Teeswater); Hennie de Boer, 77 Wingham (formerly R1, Lucknow); Margaret Kai, 83, Lucknow (formerly Wingham); and, Kenneth Robinson, 80, Huron Twp. Purple Grove News Sincere sympathy is sent to Irene Liddle and her family on the death of her son Jamie. What a great turnout for the bridal shower for Brianne and Michelle Elliott in Ripley Thursday evening. An evening of lovely gifts, lots of vis- iting and good food. Thanks ladies from the Bethel area. Thanks to the fellows (and helpers) of the Ripley Fire Depart- ment for a nourishing meal on Sat- urday, July 18. The mushball tourna- ment folks appreciated it too. Everyone that was able to attend the Finnie barn dance had a great time. The weather was perfect, the fun and fellowship most excellent. Colleen and J P Greenwood and family visited with his grandparents June and Earl Elliott of "R" Villa on Monday evening. Dungannon & St. Helen's News Submitted If the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, then there will be a lot of men loving Dungannon this summer. The Dungannon Seniors Hall committee makes and sells meat and fruit pies, both large and small, as an ongoing fundraiser for the hall. The sale of these pies is the only way to keep this centre afloat. The Dungannon Fair is coming up on Sunday, August 9. A tasty part of this event is the Smoked Pork Sup- per which will be served between 4:30 and 6 pm at the Dungannon Agricultural Hall. To reserve a seat at the supper, call 519-529-3662.
