Canada pocna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Education, Culture and making a difference It seems that the majority of this week's edition of the Lucknow Sentinel is around education, the various elements of cul- ture in our area and peo- ple making a difference, with some news items straddling these themes. In the education realm, there are now more opportunities for stu- dents to get assistance in realizing their goals. Bruce Power has announced the call for applications for scholar- ships to secondary school students. The Commu- nity Foundation of Grey Bruce has partnered with the Gingrich family to create two new scholar- ships for area students who are pursuing higher education in the medical science and related fields. In other medical news, the Wingham and Dis- trict Hospital Foundation has made its annual donation. This should help encourage those local students who choose to study in the medical fields to retum to a community with awell- equipped medical facility when they begin their career. Emmaly Brown has made a contribution to those who are under medical care for cancer. This impressive young lady has donated her hair to the Canadian Cancer Society to be made into a wig for someone who has been impacted by this disease. Anyone wishing to follow in Emmaly's caring footsteps can make a private donation, as she did, or sign up for one of the Heroes For Hope events in the area. Heroes For Hope is the new name for the prior Cops For Cancer shave - offs, who also partner with Pantene Beautiful Lengths who create wigs for cancer patients. One storywhich strad- dles the culture and edu- cation boundaries is the Agricultural Safety Day. In this area, agriculture is away of life with its own unique culture. The pur- pose of this program is to teach children and their families how to reduce risks and leam safe prac- tices to decrease the injuries and fatalities of children on farms. An experienced farmer himself, local author Mike O'Neill is launching his new book at the Lucknow Library next Saturday. This engaging and humour- ous writer has written of his experiences of being a farmer and a plumber. Travel culture is addressed in the ongo- ing series by Maureen Matchett as she contin- ues to share her photos and adventures in New Zealand. The cover story this week celebrates another beginning in the local religious cul- ture. The community would like to join with the congregation of Lucknow Community Christian Reformed Church in extending a warm welcome to Pas- tor Tim and Karen Leferink to Lucknow. Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Welcome to Lucknow and the Lucknow Com- munity Christian Reformed Church Pas- tor Tim and Karen Leferink. Congratula- tions also to Pastor Tim on his ordination this past Saturday. There were a lot of events happening this past weekend, one that I and several other women from the area, who are also members of the National CGIT Association, attended the 100th anniversary get together held at the Crieff Hills Retreat and Conference Centre near Guelph. It was great to share the weekend with so many CGIT friends. The weekend was filled with opportunities to visit with friends we hadn't seen, in some cases, for years. It was both a happy and sad occasion as there are not many CGIT groups still out there and this was probably the last time we would be able to share old memories with our CGIT friends.
