The donation will go towards ongoing medical equipment needs at the Hospital. The end of the year is a popu- lar time for many to make their annual donation to the Hospital and this generous donation from Britespan is a great way to kick off the giving season at the Wing - ham & District Hospital Foundation. It is important to remember that although donations are still being accepted towards the one- time cost of the major redevel- opment project at the Hospital, the ongoing needs to a thriving Hospital never end. Annual donations, like the one by Britespan, will allow the car- egivers at the Wingham & Dis- trict Hospital to continue provid- ing excellent healthcare service while the major improvements are being made to the facility.

The first thing you should do is call your local electrical distribu- tion company, which is ready to respond 24 hours a day to power outages and emergency situa- tions. In Ontario for example, Hydro One crews hit the ground to patrol power lines and deter- mine what caused the power outage, not stopping until power is restored to every customer. At home, create a 72 -hour emergency preparedness kit with the following supplies: win- dup or battery powered flash- light, windup or battery powered radio, portable external battery charger for smart devices, water (2 litres per person per day), canned or dried food that won't spoil, manual can opener, bat- teries for your flashlight and radio, cash, blankets, candles and matches, first aid kit, and any medical items and prescrip- tions you require. Include a paper list of emergency numbers and important contacts, includ- ing your electrical distributor's emergency power outage hot- line number. Hydro One customers can also download the company's power outage app, check out their online outage map, and register to receive proactive free person- alized text or email alerts about power outages. Customers who register for the service will receive alerts when an outage has been reported near their res- idence and updates on esti- mated times of restoration. LUCKNOW NEWS Lucknow Carolfest next Wednesday at St. Joseph Kingsbridge Centre Ruth Dobrensky Well, it's that time of year again, Santa Claus paid a visit to Lucknow last Friday night. The weather could have been better, it could also have been much worse. No matter what the weather was doing, Santa and Mrs. Claus were in town to help all of us celebrate the start of the Christmas season. A lot of hard work went into the many floats and everyone seemed to enjoy the parade and the visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus at the arena after the parade. Not one to take time off, Santa travelled to Ripley this past Sunday, where he took part in their parade and met with the people of Ripley at their arena after the parade. I don't envy Santa, he travels to so many places and takes part in so many parades, I wonder that he has time to get all the presents ready for Christmas for all the children in the world. This past Sunday, the Luc - know Community Christian Reformed Church held "A Can- dlelight Christmas" with spe- cial guests and music. Congratulations and late happy 90th birthday to Deloris Culbert who celebrated with family and friends this past Sunday at RVilla in Ripley. This coming weekend will be busy in town with the HAWK Theatre presenting The Wizard of Oz. It should be a great show, take it in if you can find tickets available. As I understand it, there has been a great demand, so get your tickets right away. Next Wednesday night is Luc- know's Carolfest, being held this year at St. Joseph's Kingsbridge, it should be a great evening. The choirs from all the local churches always have some wonderful selections and the music will be truly inspiring. This year our little family consisting of my cousin Diane, her husband Tony, my sister Linda and her husband Marc and I met for our semi-annual get-together in Markdale where we had a great lunch and visit at the new Fire and Ice Restau- rant which is in the old fire hall on the main street. The food was great and they let us sit and visit for several hours. Sympathies of the community to the families of: Janet Cress, 83, Pt. Clarke; David Huber, 60, Lucknow; and, George McLeod, 83, Port Albert.
