Canada pocna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Community Pride This edition of the Lucknow Sentinel is packed to overflow- ing. Some had to be held over until next week... again! Spring has certainly gotten people a lot more active and I am genu- inely pleased that so many groups and individuals have taken up the invita- tion to send in their reports, news and photos. Thank you. One item held for next week is the pho- tos and recap of the Adopt -a -Highway and Canada Pitch In projects that took place last week. The community and sur- rounding roadways most certainly look better after these efforts. On that note, it has been brought to my attention that there is still more work to be done to keep our communities clean and healthy. One such topic is the cleaning up of drop- pings when people are walking their dogs in the villages and in public spaces. Not only does this make it more pleas- ant, but also helps to stop the spread of disease to other dogs and to small children who do not know bet- ter than to touch eve- rything they find. It was reported that routes to and from schools, areas where people gather and alleyways between buildings were the most littered areas. The third complaint I heard was that of dis- carded cigarette butts outside of commer- cial and public build- ings. It seems we have work to do in getting the message out that even one item discarded care- lessly can add up to a messy eyesore when it is done repeatedly or by many. With all of the com- munity caring and pride shown in this edition, I would urge those who enjoy liv- ing and working in our readership area to please be considerate and help keep it clean and safe for us all. Planning an event? Don't forget to advertise! lucknow Sentinel 519-528-2822 Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky It was nice to see the pictures fea- turing the Huron Bruce Swingers cel- ebrating their 45 years as square dancers. It's nice to know that the art of French, Scottish and Irish country dancing has not been lost. For those of you who didn't know there was a French influence, where did you think the "a la mains" came from. The Lucknow Sepoy Ranees trav- elled to Wingham last Thursday night to enjoy an evening of great music and entertainment with the Almost Famous Players. If you didn't have a chance to see them in Wingham last week, they'll be in Teeswater and Clinton later this month. Congratulations to Lucknow Pres- byterian Church on their 142nd anni- versary celebrations held recently, we wish you many more. Now that spring is really here, and we've been enjoying all the crocuses, daffodils and now tulips that have been blooming. We can all start (if we haven't already) planting our gar- dens, or in my case, my flower pots with herbs, flowers and veggies. I've noticed that many have lots planted under plastic and there may be new crops of some veggies before too long. I enjoyed perusing all the hockey pictures in last week's paper, and I'm envious of the girls who can play on their own teams. When I was growing up, I wasn't allowed to play hockey except when my brother and his friends needed someone to play goal, and there weren't any official teams in my neighbourhood, espe- cially not for girls. It makes me proud to know that now, girls can play officially from the time they are small until they become world champions.

Dungannon & St. Helen's News Shag Campbell April 30 saw 12 chatty folks for cof- fee at the Dungannon Seniors Cen- tre. There were only seven avid card players in the afternoon. Joe Psutka was the winner with a high card of 53. Shag had five lone hands. Saturday, May 2 was clean-up day at the Dungannon Cemetery. There was a good turnout to help with thisyearlytask The local fishermen are catching, cohoe salmon and rainbow trout in the Maitland river. Now that the ice had finally left, the marina parking in Goderich is packed with boaters heading out into the lake for perch. That haze you see over Huron County these days is dust from all the tractors, etc. working the fields. Watch out on the roads for slow moving vehi- cles and remember sometimes it is not just a short tractor but very often it is towing three or four implements. I even saw a few eager folks out mowing their lawns and working in their gardens. Dungannon United Church cele- brated their 150th anniversary on May 3, with about 200 in attend- ance. They had to bring in extra chairs and some people were even sitting in the choir. Got some news? Call Shag at 519-529-7734.
