West Wawanosh Mutual Insur- ance has been providing farm, residential, commercial and automobile insurance products to its clients from its home in Dungannon since 1879. Dungan- non is located in the Township of Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh. ACW has been a long-time sup- porter of the Wingham & District Hospital, including this recent capi- tal campaign, and the gift from West Wawanosh further solidifies the strong neighbourly relationship between the businesses and resi- dents of ACW and the Hospital. In recognition of the donation, West Wawanosh Mutual Insur- ance Company will be named as the sponsor of one of the exam rooms in the new primary care clinic being developed in the new healthcare campus which is set to open before the end of the year. "We give our policyholders peace of mind through insurance and investing in local healthcare is just one more way we can help pro- vide peace of mind to our policy- holders and the whole commu- nity," said West Wawanosh Mutual Insurance CEO Cathie Simpson. The Wingham & District Hos- pital is currently undergoing the first stages of a $17 million redevelopment. With less than $6 million of that cost coming from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, com- munity contributions, such as the $25,000 donation from West Wawanosh Mutual Insurance, can still make a significant difference to protecting and promoting high quality local healthcare. Any donations made to the redevelopment project will benefit the expansion of six key areas, including the only chemotherapy clinic in Huron and Bruce Coun- ties, the upgrading of digital imag- ing equipment and the creation of a community healthcare campus. Anyone interested in contrib- uting to the project is encour- aged to contact the WDH Foun- dation office. More information is available at wdhfoundation.ca.

LUCKNOW NEWS Lucknow also relies on a number of permanent grocery options Ruth Dobrensky By the time this edition of the Sentinel comes out, the World Series should be over and one of two teams who have been waiting a long time for their drought to end will be the 2016 champions. I personally am cheering for the Cubs, but from the bad start they got in the play-offs, I'm not holding my breath. The Lucknow Sepoy Ranees met for lunch recently at the soon to be closed "Sugar and Spice" restaurant in Teeswater. The food and service were great but it seems the building has been sold and no one will have the chance to eat there again. Too bad, it was a lovely place to eat. We finished off the afternoon with a visit to Gay Lea Foods, where some of us purchased a few things and then enjoyed a scenic fall drive home to Lucknow. Last week I wrote about the two new options for the pur- chase of groceries in town. This week I'm writing to remind everyone of the options we've had in Lucknow for years. The first being the wonderful bakery we have in town. Not only can you buy bread at Arm- strong's Bakery, they sell all sorts of baked goodies and many bulk food items including flour that is fresher than any you'll find in any gro- cery store. They are also now selling some dairy and other food items for the convenience of Lucknow residents. The second place in town, is truly a convenience store, it's Mac's, and they do sell a lot of things that are essential and, they are open seven days a week, and very late into the night. Both of these businesses offer many options to people who either can't get to Wing - ham or other towns, or for those who need something late in the evening and don't have a vehicle. Don't forget they're here all the time and we should support our local businesses. It's the time of year for Har- vest and Christmas bazaars. This past Saturday, St. Andrews United Church in Rip- ley held their annual bazaar. Coming up this weekend is the Lucknow United Church bazaar. Coming soon will be: the Ripley Horticultural's Bows & Boughs Auction on Nov. 18, Lucknow's Santa Claus Parade on Nov. 25 and Ripley's Christ- mas in the Park the same day, Nov 27. Sympathies of the commu- nity to the family of Stuart Reavie, 73, Lucknow.
