letters to the editor
Dungannon Ag. Society appreciates support of community year-round
Dear Editor,
We would like to recognize
anyone who has contributed in
anyway, for the year 2016 with
The Dungannon Agricultural
Society.
We are blessed to live in a
community where local busi-
nesses and residents are so will-
ing to support the work and
events held by us.
This past year there were
many dart and card tourna-
ments, dances, community sup-
pers, a baseball tournament, a
Farmers Christmas Party, the
Super Pull and of course our
annual Family & Fun Fair Days
in August. These are only some
of the events which were held at
the hall and grounds. There
were also many work bees:
building repairs, cleaning, gar-
dening, grass cutting, meetings,
meal planning, shopping, food
prep, etc. The list goes on and on
of all the work that needs to be
done to be able to host these
community events and to keep
the hall and grounds
maintained.
Our local businesses, farming
community, the municipality
and many locals have always
Reader impressed by tribute to trucker
Dear Editor,
On Sunday, Nov 27 I was in
Lucknow having breakfast with
a friend.
When we were leaving I saw a
dozen show quality heavy trucks
assembled on a vacant lot one
street over.
"Cool," I thought. "A truck
show:' We went over for a look.
Everyone was gathered around
a mint red and white single axle
from the 60's, which had a sign
on the front that read "Hub." I
asked if this was a truck show,
and a lady explained that their
been financially generous to
help out when they can.
Volunteers are said to be as
the back -bone of our communi-
ties. These people are constantly
ready and willing to contribute
their own personal time, talents
and energy just to help make a
successful project or event, or
get some much needed work
done. Some of these people are
always present, some help with
a specific event and some just
jump right in if they are at an
event and see a job that needs to
be done.
A simple bit of recognition is
friend Hub had passed away,
and that they were going to con-
voy to a celebration of his life at
the Legion.
Now I never knew Hub, but I
learned three things about him
in a few moments, a) that he
took great pride in his iron, b)
never enough for the never end-
ing support we receive time and
time again.
If you have donated finan-
cially or volunteered with us this
past year, please know your
kindness is always appreciated.
If you have attended our
events, please know that your
presence is always appreciated.
Without you all, we would not
be.
A very Merry Christmas to
you all, and many blessings for
2017.

that people really loved him,
and c) that he had really great
friends.
I was deeply moved by your
gesture. My sympathy on the
loss of your friend.

LUCKNOW NEWS
Merry Christmas to all from Lucknow News' Ruth Dobrensky

The Lucknow Sepoy Ranees
held a pot -luck Christmas sup-
per last week.
We had a great evening and
enjoyed some really great
food. One of our members had
been away in Arizona but
arrived back just in time to join
us for a fantastic meal and a
great time. Unfortunately, sev-
eral members were ill or away
and couldn't join in the festivi-
ties, but we wish them a Merry
Christmas and hope to see
them at our gathering in the
new year.
The Lucknow Rumoli Club
also met the same evening for
our December/Christmas
meeting. But as I was hosting
the Red Hat event, I couldn't be
with my Rumoli group. I'm sure
they all had a good time and
wish them all a happy Christ-
mas as well.
Is it just me, but it seems that
we here in Lucknow have to
wait a lot longer in the morn-
ings for the streets to be plowed
than we used to. I always
thought the idea was for the
snow plows to be as early as
possible, to get the streets and
roads cleaned, so that people
could get out to work and
school. But then, who am I, and
everyone else who wonders as I
do?
It seems that everyone is out
finishing up their Christmas
shopping and all the churches
are preparing their Christmas
Eve and Christmas Day ser-
vices. I still have a few small
gifts to take care of and hope
that despite the delays around
my place due to my recent ill-
ness, that I get some Christmas
decorations up before
Christmas.
At this special time of year,
my little family consisting of
myself and my two four -legged
children, Smokey and George
V, want to wish everyone and
their four -legged children, a
very blessed and Merry
Christmas.

ROADSIDE TEST
A 20 -year-old from Strathroy-Cara-
doc Township is facing a charge of
"Refuse to Provide Breath Sample"
stemming from a single motor vehi-
cle collision that took place recently.
Shortly before 10 p.m. on Dec. 9,
2016 Huron County Ontario Provin-
cial Police (OPP) responded to the
scene of a single motor vehicle colli-
sion that took place on Harlock Line
north of Hullett-McKillop Road.
Upon arrival officers noticed a Chevrolet
pickup truck had left the roadway and
came to rest on its roof in a creek bed.
Police were able to identify the driver and
upon speaking with the driver the investi-
gating officer detected alcohol on the driv-
er's breath. A demand was subsequently
made for the driverto provide a sample of
his breath into a roadside screening device.
Ultimately the driver refused to provide a
sample and was arrested for refusing.
As a result, the man has been charged
with Refuse to Provide Breath Sample.
He has been released from custody with
a court appearance scheduled for Janu-
ary 16, 2017 at the Ontario Court of Jus-
tice — Goderich. He also received an auto-
matic 90 -day driver's licence suspension
and his motor vehicle was impounded.
