Canada Apcna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies A great place for Young and Old This week's edi- tion of the Luc - know Sentinel has school age through retirement. All four of the our contributing schools have been very active. I believe the most spontaneous fun was at the Rip- ley -Huron Commu- nity School during their Mud Day. The rain and mud did not deter Brookside Public School stu- dents from taking part in the programs at the Staelhi farm, including the golf with the animals, the bush hike and the challenge of learning to build and start a campfire in wet conditions. The Madill Track Team has done the area proud with their amazing wins and placements in their most recent competition to qual- ify for the next level. The number of per- sonal bests that con- tinue to be sur- passed is an indication of their dedication and drive, as well as dis- cipline and skill. The creative and prob- lem -solving talents of the students of Lucknow Public School were on dis- play at their annual Spring Art Celebra- tion. They gave a special preview for the residents of both Pinecrest Manor and Nine Mile Villa, whom they work with throughout the school year. From these beginnings responsible, caring and resourceful citi- zens are formed. The caring and responsible adults in the area are well rep- resented in this edi- tion, as well. The Huron Community Living volunteers canvass for the annual food drive for the North Huron Community Food Share in June. Those who have worked for Huron County for ten years or more were honoured by Huron County Council. Many of the Town -Wide Yard Sale offerings in Rip- ley were in support of community groups and worthy causes. This area is also rich with service groups, 4-H clubs, church groups and sports teams. This past week the Ripley Reunion Cen- tral opened. Stay tuned for updates on other events and fes- tivals you won't want to miss. Watch for information on being a volunteer, what activities need prior registration and when and where it is all going to be happening. Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Congratulations to Mary Lou and Doug Bay- nard who celebrated their 50th wedding anni- versary last week. The Raynards, formerly of Ashfield Township and Lucknow, now reside in Listowel. Congratulations to Kinlough Presbyterian Church on their special anniversary service held this past Sunday. It just dawned on me last week that I missed a holiday. How on earth did I do that, you ask? Well, in all my working years, one holiday I always looked forward to was Victoria Day. I always said thanks to Queen Victoria for the day off, so what hap- pened this year? It came and went and as a retired person, I didn't even realize it was gone until the day was over. I was devastated that I hadn't planned a day out of some kind or another. Perhaps I'm just getting old and for- getting how to enjoy the small things in life. I'll have to plan something big for next year. The Lucknow Rumoli Club got together last week for our monthly evening of eating, visit- ing, and playing Rumoli. As usual, it was a fun evening and I Purple Grove News Purple Grove WI Congratulations to Earl Elliott who celebrated his 92nd birthday last week. Family and friends gathered at Joyce and John Farrell's to help him celebrate. Our sympathy is sent to the families of Alan Hodgins, Harry Jacobi and Elaine Lavery. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Also to Lois Davey and family on the death of her husband Reg. Even with all the fog on the Saturday morning of Ripley's town wide yard sale there were a lot of folks out and about. Thanks everyone for sup- porting our fund raising efforts. The May meeting of the Ripley and District Kinloss Kairshea WI Submitted The Kinloss Kairshea WI met at the Lucknow Town Hall on May 21 with hostess Erlma Haldenby. President Charlene McEwan welcomed everyone with the Opening Ode and Mary Stewart Collect. Kathy Gibson and Roberta Whytock with Erlma served dessert and coffee, etc. for all to enjoy. The roll call "What can we do to conserve energy?" was answered by 11 members and two guests. Erlma gave the min- utes for last month and Gladys was the only birthday girl for May and had a funny reading. Erlma introduced Cheryl Cottrill who works for Bruce Power and was a founding member of Win Global Industry, which is rec- ognized for giving women a voice in Nuclear Power Indus- try. Cheryl has worked for Nuclear Energy for 11 years and Win Can- ada for the last seven years, with the starting of six chapters and with people from all over the world, so Cheryl travels exten- sively. Cheryl started with a true and false contest on nuclear power and gave out think I broke even. At least my penny bag felt as heavy when I went home as it had when I got there, but the point is, we had fun. There are lots of things happening in the area now that the weather is getting nicer. Check out the coming events in The Sentinel for special services, shows, anniversaries and dinners.

Horticultural Society was well attended. We enjoyed seeing the pho- tos of Fran Farrell's on their recent trip to Aus- tralia and New Zealand. Glad to see the grains popping up out of the ground. And aren't the apple blossoms beautiful this year. Well worth a tour of the countryside. lots of prizes. She gave a very informative talk on Bruce Power and the Nuclear Energy. What a clever ener- genic girl! She sug- gested we look up more info @ win.can. org or www.cna.ca.
