Canada pcnal Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Winners come in all Sizes hen I looked over the contents of this week's Sentinel, the first thing that came to mind is that there are a lot of winners. The obvious coverage of winners is in the sports pages this week with the various Minor Hockey tournaments that are going on. There were so many that some team photos had to be held for next week I am sure that there are more teams and tournaments out there that have not made it to print as yet. Please feel free to send in your photos and results for the sports pages. The husband and wife team of Ean and Amanda Moffat have been recognized as the recipients of the Community Service Award. The most important thing to remember about this particular Award is that it is recognition from the Lucknow Chamber of Commerce of those who participate in, support and give leadership in such a way that the community is the winner. Another winning combination is a reason to celebrate and the talent to pull it off in grand fashion. That mix was evident at the St. Pat- rick's celebration put on by and for the St. Joseph's Kingsbridge Community. Despite the closure of their meeting place, the community has rallied to keep the closeness alive and well while transitioning to a new centre of activity. Youth were the winners with Black and Mac- Donald raising funds for youth programs then donating to the Lucknow Lions to support cur- rent youth programming. The BPS Grade 2 class is certainly full of win- ners as they work through their Nobody Project, Together as a class they have already made a dif- ference. In addition to this, each student is mak- ing aking a difference with their individual project. As these amazing students create and carry out their projects they are touching lives and becoming even greater somebodies themselves. Another win of interest is the one for the families who have taken up the task of chal- lenging the set -back rules for wind turbines. The original amount of court fees awarded to the wind companies to be payable by the fami- lies has been drastically cut as it is recognized that this is a challenge of Charter Rights, not just a personal gripe against the companies. The documentary "Big Wind" will be airing on TVO at 9 pm on March 25 and at midnight on March 26. This documentary included inter- views with all of the different parties involved in wind power. This is a great learning opportunity and learning is always a winning activity. Lucknow News By Ruth Dobrensky The Lucknow Rumoli Club met again last week for their monthly meeting. There must have been some spring fever floating around as the group was more rowdy than usual. But also as usual, we had a good time eating, play- ing Rumoli, gossiping and giving each other a hard time. Well, it looks like spring is finally here. The weather this past week or so has done wonders to get rid of the snow and ice on the roads, driveways and parking lots. I discovered that you have to be extra careful when walking though, espe- cially in the early mornings as the melt water from the day before is often frozen as black ice and can be highly treacher- ous. I know I slipped a few times on my way to the car and on sidewalks. Members of the former congregation of St. Peter's Anglican Church met at the Sepoy Manor last Wednesday morning for a Holy Eucharist service led by the Venerable Perry Chuipka. It was espe- cially nice that a number of residents of the Sepoy Manor joined the St. Peter's group for the service and for tea and cof- fee afterwards. The St. Peter's people have decided to get together once a month at the residence of different mem- bers to celebrate the Eucharist and have a social time. The Lucknow Sepoy Ranees met at the Village Pizzaria for a St. Patrick's Day lunch yesterday. For a change all our lovely ladies were dressed in green in honour of the day. And of course, pizza and spaghetti were well known foods in Ireland at the time of St. Patrick, if you believe that, I own some swamp land in Florida you may be interested in buying. Sympathy of the community to the families of: William Caesar, WWII Vet- eran, 94, Wingham (formerly of Dun- gannon and Goderich); Elva Arm- strong, 92, Auburn; and, Teresa Foxton, 84, Wingham. Dungannon News Shag Campbell On Mar 5, there were 8 happy folks for coffee at 10 a.m. in the Dungannon Sen- iors Centre and there were 9 card players for euchre in the afternoon. The winner again was Joe Psutka with a high of 52 points. The London Farm show, from March 4th to 6th saw some local farmers travel- ling to see the latest in farm equipment. As of this writing on March 11, the snowmobile trails are closing down some because of smowmobilers running off the trails and over the wheat fields and other because the warm weather is melt- ing the snow on the fields. A welcome sight to many is the sight of bare ground. The maple syrup run is a little late get- ting started but these cold nights and warm days will make the sap run. Those who make the syrup want the sap to run so bad they can almost taste it. We wish Marie Stewart a speedy recov- ery from her recent surgery at L.H.S.C. There will be a St. Patrick's Day cele- bration, sponsored by the St. Joseph's Kingsbridge Community on Saturday March 14 at the Dungannon Ag. Hall. We wish them great success. The 66th annual Young Canada week hockey tournament, the longest running tournament, runs March 13-15 and March 20-22 with some area young peo- ple participating. We wish them all great success. Bill Caesar of Braemar Nursing Home passes away Mar. 8. Bill was born and raised on the Caesar Family farm on the Glen's Hill Rd. After the war Bill bought the farm on the corner of the Glen's Hill Rd. and County Rd. 1. He farmed until 1972 when he retired to Goderich. He was the oldest of the Caesar Family. Our condolences go out to his family. Have any news we would like to see in print? Call Shag at 51-529-7734. Lucknow UCW holds General Meeting Submitted The group welcomed Marilyn Scott who explained how Ion Cleansing removes toxins from our bodies. Two members tried the treatment as Marilyn told of the benefits. Some people have the cleansing monthly. President Elaine Steer opened the meeting with a poem about Cleansing. The scripture, Psalm 51:1-7 tells of the cleansing of sin. Glenda Morrison read the minutes and Diane Henderson gave the Treasur- er's report and the budget for 2015. The Standing Motions were approved. Letters of thanks were read for correspondence. For Christian Education, it was announced that the youth group and the Sunday School will present the Dragonfly story on Easter Sunday using puppets. Nimble Fingers have given several comfort blankets, five quilts to those in need, and a Butterfly quilt to Pinecrest Nursing Home. New cubboards, in memory of Mae Hunter have been placed in the quilting room. Our kitchen has received donations from the Anglican Church and we thank the ladies for these. New catering prices were discussed and approved. Upcoming events and catering dates were noted. The meeting closed with the UCW prayer.
