Canada 1 ocna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Celebrations of all kinds There are lots of celebrations hap- pening this spring in the Lucknow area. The festive touch has been brought to Camp- bell Street in Lucknow with the installation of the Kite pole decorations sponsored by the Luc - know Chamber of Com- merce. What a fun and festive way to enhance the main street. As promised last week, I am doing my best to fit in past events and news that did not make it to earlier edi- tions due to space limi- tations. This week fea- tures the "Easter Bonnet Parade" variety concert held at Pinecrest Manor. Many talented folk joined with the resi- dents, their family and staff to bring a spring lift of the spirits to town. R Villa was the site of another celebration this past weekend, as Andy and Ann Groenveld cele- brated their 60th Wedding Anniversarywith their family and friends at a come and go tea. They are a truly inspiring couple. Following the DEL cup hockey win by the team that Bobby Raymond play for, it was very inter- esting to get the back- ground ackground story and high- lights from the pens of both Raymond's father Keith and his very first minor hockey coach Rod MacDonagh. It seems fit- ting to have this personal look at a hockey career appear in the same issue as the annual team photo spreads of the Lucknow Minor HockeyAssocia- tion. It will be interesting to see who in the current spreads will go on to higher levels of competition. Anyone who uses water from the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River has cause for cele- bration as the "Water Across Borders" treaty was signed at the Uni- versity of Illinois by international represent- atives restoring water ecosystems globally. Huron -Kinloss Mayor Mitch Twolan has been very active in this initia- tive as one of the repre- sentatives of communi- ties on the shores of Lake Huron. It is a big step forward to now, not only work on bi- national water issues, but to be connected to a global network to share information and resources toward a healthier future. The Huron -Bruce Swingers invited mem- bers past and present to celebrate their 45th anniversary at Brook- side rookside School. It was inter- esting to see all the dif- ferent combinations of dance costumes to unite couples or groups with their matching colours. It was even more inter- esting to see the mix of colours combinations in various sets (or squares) as all danced together in different groupings throughout the night.

Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Well here we are in the merry month of May, which brings back memories of a song we sang when I was in school called "May is here, the world rejoices I certainly hope we can rejoice and hopefully... see no more snow until very late in 2015. Recently the Lucknow Rumoli club got together for their monthly even- ing of playing Rumoli, kidding around and giv- ing each other a hard time. We always have a good time, even when we lose, but especially when we win. Last Saturday, Luc - know held its annual town wide yard sale and was the joint ever jumping. People and cars everywhere and something for every- body available for sale. If you weren't able to find a bargain, you didn't look very hard. Did you receive your Huron -Kinloss Discov- ery Guide for 2015? I looked through the entire issue and found it to be full of great infor- mation about our local communities and was pleased to see that so many of our Lucknow and area organizations, service groups and churches made it into the guide. It was also lovely to see how many of our businesses adver- tised in the guide and how colourful all the ads were. I was espe- cially impressed with the ad that the Ripley Business Community put in the guide, perhaps the Lucknow District Chamber of Commerce could do a similar type of ad for next year's guide. I noticed that the Blyth Festival Art Gallery is once again featuring the art of local students. I saw last year's art show and it was terrific and it was especially nice to see the names of Luc - know students on some of the artwork. I hope the talent displayed this year will be up to last year's standards. What am I saying, it will undoubtedly be as good, if not better. Sympathy of the community to the fami- lies of: Harry McCom- bie, 86, Wingham; and, Emma Hackett, 87, Kitchener (formerly Ashfield Twp.). Dungannon & St. Helen's News Shag Campbell On April 23 there were 10 thirsty folks for coffee time at the Dungannon Seniors Centre and eight card players for euchre in the afternoon. Lois Psutka won with at 47. Trout and salmon season opened for the 2015 year. Lots of happy fisher folk. The daffodils are blooming in gardens and along roadsides all over the area. What a pretty sight! Makes us believe spring is here. The farmers are get- ting on the land which is very dry this year due to a lack of rain in April. The vacant lot at the corner of Isobel and Berry Sts. in Dungan- non makes for real nice ball park for the local children. A very nice crowd came out for the ham and scalloped dinner, on Saturday, April 25 at the Ag. Hall. The local Youth Group was busy clean- ing up the town and roadsides on the April 25 as well. After their hard work they camped overnight at the Seniors Centre and the Lions Club put on a lunch for them on Sunday. Well done young folks!! The Dungannon United Church is cele- brating 160 years with a special service this weekend. Barb Hicks, who was as leader at Camp Menesutung for 15 years will be there along with a local youth choir from Huron, Perth and Bruce Counties. Jake Alton was racing this last weekend but not with his usual club. He raced with CMRC the top Canadian club. He wants to race TransCan in Walton again this year so he has to race with CMRC and qualify for the TransCan. He place 7th out of 11 in the 50cc 7-8 olds class and 8th out of 9 in the 50cc Open Class. I am told that Jake has his game face on this year and has stepped up his game. Way to go Jake!!! Keep up the hard work. Got some news??? Call Shag at 519-529-7734. Planning an event? Don't forget to advertise! The Lucknow Sentinel 519-528-2822
