Canada l cna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Upgrading, Preparing and Learning In looking over the content of this week's Sen- tinel, it struck me that most is about awards, upgrades and learning activities. Of note, one of the rural learning organiza- tions, the 4-H Clubs of Canada, are celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. It is heartening to know that this organization is still alive in our own readership area, as evidenced by the reports submitted by the various clubs. Awareness is being raised about accessibility as we just finished National Access Awareness Week. The awards ceremony held at Maitland River Ele- mentary School for the 2015 recipients of the Awards of Merit for Barrier -Free Design was accompanied by a motivational talk and perfor- mance by an amazing young man who has become a competitive breakdancer despite his physical lim- itations and challenges. LazyLegs captured the attention of the students with his interactive and energetic performances. His motto "No excuses, No limits" would serve us all well. More dancing was happening in Kincardine as the Lucknow-based Danceology club gave their annual recital. This is a great learning venue which can prepare competitors for future careers in dance and performing arts. Upgrading and preparations for the future was at the forefront in Point Clark at the ribbon cutting for the Lions Park to officially reopen the playground after major renovations and additions. Later in June the Point Clark Lighthouse will be reopening, as well. The new street lights for Lucknow were dis- cussed at Council as a positive choice. Preparations are still underway for the upcom- ing Strawberry Summerfest in Lucknow. With a smaller committee trying to do the amount of work that needs done, it is difficult to keep the festival from shrinking from former festivals. Many hands are still needed as volunteers, par- ticularly at the Kids Zone and organizing the set up at the Vendors Market. Other volunteer duties are available to help students get their commu- nity hours or to allow adults to be involved with this community event. Even one hour of helping out makes a big difference. There are calls for proposals of programs and for applications for funding throughout this edi- tion. Take the time to read these submissions to take advantage of the resources being made available for upgrading and preparing for a bet- ter future. Let's roll up our sleeves and put on our thinking caps to keep moving ahead and making the future an even better place to be. Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky There's something to be said for old friends, not in the sense of age, but in the sense of knowing people for many years. The recent weekend I spent at Crieff Hills with my CGIT friends keeps bringing back old memories. One hundred years is a long time and we had people there from age10 to about 94 and those of us in the older brackets reminisced and hugged old friends. The young were able to see what an influence the CGIT organization has been and meant to so many women in this country. There were several inter- generational families there, mothers, daughters, granddaughters, sisters and cousins. The Lucknow CGIT women who attended are going to plan a local 100th celebration in October. More details to follow and all former CGIT women in the area will be invited. I hope you were able to attend Mike O'Neill's new book launching this past Sunday at the library. As you all know Mike has published several books and always writes a Christmas story for the Sentinel. Congratula- tions on your new book Mike. I've been learning a lot about New Zealand in the past few weeks and am looking forward to the next issue(s) from Maureen Matchett. It's nice to live vicariously through others, although to be perfectly honest, I'd rather be there myself, but these arti- cles are the next best thing. Sympathy of the community to the families of: Fannie Yoder, 17 months, St. Helen's Line; Doris Adams, 99, Lucknow (formerly Wroxeter); and Barbara Moss, 73, Goderich. Purple Grove News Purple Grove WI Thanks to the Ripley Agricultural Society for the delicious spaghetti supper Sunday May 31st. As usual the community support was great. Our sympathy is sent to Marilyn and Don Geddes and family and Bob Geddes of Kinloss on the passing of their uncle Elmo Colwell at North Battleford, Saskatchewan. Elmo's brother Frank (and wife Ruby) oper- ated the Kinloss General Store for quite a few years. Nancy King and her grandson Adrian Mato shy visited with her mother Largaret McInnes recently. Mary Anne also enjoyed visiting with Erlma Haldenby and Annetta Robinson last Monday. John and Joyce Farrell enjoyed hav- ing Earl and June Elliott of Ripley for lunch on Sunday and then Paul and Nancy Greenwood of Goderich dropped by for a visit. On Saturday Jim and Fran Farrell and Sir Alexan- der Becker visited with John and Joyce. Don and Marilyn Reid enjoyed having over Steven and Louis Durnin on Sunday. Saturday Jim and Fran Farrell visited with Jamie, Crystal and Danica Farrell at Holstein. Last week MaryAnne Kukoly enter- tained Erlma Haldenby and Annetta Robinson. Janet Nixon and Mary - Anne visited with Louise MacLennan Millar of Palmerston last Thurs- day. Lots of memories surfaced from school days in Ashfield Township. Sympathy is extended to the family of Gordon Brooks of Lucknow and to the families and friends of Shirley (Bridge) Coulthard and the late LeRoy Coulthard on the passing of their son Douglas of London on Sun- day June 7. Hopefully this rain that came on Sunday has helped to get the hay growing and nourishing the crops that have so badly needed it. Also gives us a break from all the water- ing we've done to make our flowers flourish and put on a nice display of color. It's been quite interesting watching the Hummingbirds and their antics at the window feeders. If you put out feeders they will come. Quite territorial they can be from what I have seen, still they are a pure delight to watch and learn from. Planning an event? Don't forget to advertise! The Lucknow Sentinel 519-528-2822
