Canada pcna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Flurry of Activity It has been a week of much wet weather with a few chunkies mixed in with the rain. Thank goodness the flur- ries were only in the num- ber of activities happening. It was a tribute to the hard work and diligence of the historians of Ash- field Township and the loyalty of the Lucknow Legion Branch 309 to have the names of Ash- field Township veterans added to the Lucknow cenotaph and read out for the first time at a Remembrance Day cere- mony to honour their service and sacrifice. It is disheartening, to say the least, that within two days of Remembrance services the terrorist attacks were launched in Paris, France. As in the poem "In Flanders Fields" the torch has been passed to us to carry on the fight against terrorism and attacks on freedom. This is a much different world than the veterans of the World Wars fought in and for, but it is no less impera- tive to find ways to pro- tect the victims of war while joining forces to strip the power from those who use violence to assert their causes. We are so blessed to live in a country where we are not in imminent danger of attack each day. Our forefathers and mothers have striven to provide us with a home where we are free to carry out our lives and create our own homes and dreams. Adopta-PetRescue is determined to also find homes where abandoned or neglected dogs and cats can find their freedom to be loved and cared for as members of a family. There is an ongoing crisis with the growing number of animals needing care until forever homes can be found. Progress in caring for the highways in the South East sector of Bruce County has come to frui- tion in the opening of the state of the art Patrol Shop in Lucknow. It was determined that the existing facilities were either at the end of their functional life or were no longer able to accommo- date the health, safety and storage needs of the department. With the careful research and planning by Bruce County staff coupled with the professionalism of local contractors, a new facility has been built that will serve the High- ways Department work- ers for many years to come. Another feather in Bruce County's hat is the Tourism Award for the Adventure Passport program. It is time to get your tickets for the December Youth Production of HAWK Theatre. There have been many Christ- mas bazaars and sales. More coverage of these and other Christmas events will appear in future editions of the Sentinel. Dungannon Doings The Dungannon Ag Society held their monthly meeting last Thursday to discuss upcoming events and the Christmas season. Volunteers are always appreciated and if anyone is interested in helping out with an event or becoming a director please contact Dave Sjaarda. The Ag Society meets the 1st Thursday of every month. The Dungannon United Church fall supper was a big hit as always. A delicious meal was served to many, along with amazing pies and des- serts. It should be noted that many students and youth in the community got involved with the serving of the meal and they did a superb job keeping everyone well looked after. There are a few homes for sale in the village of Dungannon. It's good to see the number of young families that have chosen Dungannon as the place to raise their family. There are not many amenities in the village, however many residents will state Dungannon is a great place for children to grow up. Jane Hoy hosts a YOUth Group every Friday night at the Seniors Hall, and more youth are always welcome. Got news? Email: dungannon news@gmail.com Lucknow Library news Grant Roberston Bruce County Library, Lucknow Branch Coming November 18, starting at 6:30 p.m. will be the showing of the highly acclaimed film Tes- tament of Youth. Based on the beloved World War One memoir by Vera Brit- tain, Testament of Youth tells the story of a British woman coming of age during World War I - a story of young love, the futility of war, and how to make sense of the darkest times. You can see the trailer at https://youtu. be/OtP7k4wqVJo. Hope to see you there. This will be our last movie until the New Year. Don't forget that HAWK Theatre will be doing their annual Christmas play. This year's production will be Return to Wonderland on December 4-6. Grant Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Last Wednesday's Remem- brance Day Service at Luc - know Presbyterian Church and at the Cenotaph was very moving and well attended. The weather also co-operated this year, perhaps because it was the 100th anniversary of the writing of "In Flanders Fields': The Legion Magazine has released a new video featuring Leonard Cohen reciting "In Flanders Fields" to commemo- rate the 100th anniversary of the poem by Lieutenant-Colo- nel John McCrae. If you're interested in getting a copy, ask at the Legion, they should be able to help you get one. Last Friday night, the Sepoy Ranees met at the Small Town Pizzeria for dessert and then spent the rest of the evening perusing the displays at the Kinettes Vender Event at the Legion. Lucknow Presbyterian Church held their annual "Taste of Christmas" which offered gifts for Christmas, bak- ing and a luncheon last Satur- day morning. Congratulations to Elaine and Ross Errington on receiv- ing the Trillium Long Service Award for their work with the Huron Bruce Swingers. It's that time of year again, the mitten tree will be collect- ing mittens, socks, scarves, hats, etc. for distributing by the Salvation Army this Christmas, which by the way is coming up fast. Coming up faster still, is the Santa Claus Parade, hope to see you there. Sympathy of the community to the family of Lois Baker, 79, Point Clark.
