LUCKNOW NEWS Fun and games at Dungannon's Little Country Fair Ruth Dobrensky This past weekend, Dungan- non held their Little Country Fair with events from a horse show to a pork chop supper on Sunday evening. There were many events to take part in and if dancing or a poultry show weren't to your liking, there were many other things to like. Goderich celebrated their 24th year of Celtic Roots Festival this past weekend. As usual, the entertainment was great, the food was to die for, the camadarie was in evidence, and a wonderful weekend was had by all. Happy 85th birthday to Muriel Osborne who cele- brated with family and friends this past Sunday in Ripley. Happy 40th anniversary to Joanne and Ron Menary who celebrated recently. You know that old saying, you learn something new every day, well I learned a lot from last weeks paper about tulip trees. I've always called Magno- lia trees, tulip trees, even though I knew the correct name. Now I've found out there really are Tulip trees and they are rare in our climate range. I'm glad Pat is looking after her tree and that many more trees may be grown from her trees seeds. Keep up the good work Pat, we need more trees. I was also interested to note that many of our endangered species of bats are being killed by the wind turbines. Many people fear or do not like bats, but they are vital to all of us who hate mosquitoes and other insects. Bats are our friends and allies against the destructive forces of many insects who live with us, pester us, and, destroy our crops. I read with great interest about the plastic pollution in Lake Huron. If you don't think it matters, look at the situation in Brazil, with all the garbage and pollution in the water there. They seem to take it all for granted, If you don't want Lake Huron to start looking like the garbage pit that seems to surround Brazil, be more care- ful when discarding your trash. Sympathies of the commu- nity to the families of: Roger Cuillerier, 72, Lucknow; Laura MacDonald, 98, Bruce Beach; Ken Machan, 57, Lucknow; and, Ross Anderson, WWII Vet- eran, 94, Belgrave.
