Canada', Aocna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Lots of Memories Being Made It is pretty obvious that this edition of the Lucicnow Sen- tinel celebrates the memo- ries being made this Christmas season. I would like to person- ally thank the volunteers who took the photos at the events this past Fridaywith Joan Nel- son and Sara Bender stepping up to cover the Lucknow Santa Parade and Pat Livingston cov- ering Soundsations. The help is most certainly appreciated. On that note, I would like to express appreciation to those who have been sending in photos, articles and news tips throughout the year. Some have been repeat contribu- tors, while others have been one-time sources. Either way, it is this type of commitment and effort that makes the Luc - know Sentinel the community newspaper that it is. Among the memories recorded in this edition are the many sports moments in the various levels of hockey, as well as crokinole and bowl- ing. One of the highlights at Ripley -Huron Community School recently was the visit from members of the Owen Sound Attack team. Brookside Public School is preparing for their Christmas production, as well as planting bulbs in their Peace Garden to enjoy in the future. We are reminded that there are those who are struggling this Christmas, as well as through the rest of the year. The Huron Food Action Network is working towards long-term solutions to help with this need. In Bruce County, the Public Library is again giving credit toward overdue fines with the donation of food items for the food banks in the area. The Luc - know Firefighters assisted the Girl Guides in collecting food donations during the parade. The Huron County Christmas Valerie Gillies Bureau received a boost this year from K2 Wind as one of the contributors. All of these dona- tions will certainly help to make much happier memories for so many families over this Christ- mas season. Gary Austin shared his mem- ories of his career in the Public Works Department Although it will mean a big change when he retires, he will still be active in the community. Watch for him cruising in his "Vette". Like most, I am looking for- ward to making some memo- ries this Christmas, as well, as my first in Lucknow. I am fortu- nate that it appears that all 5 of my kids will most likely be able to gather at my home for our annual celebration and gift exchange. As they get older and have created lives of their own it is not often that we can all get together under one roof at the same time. This year they will be coming from Kincardine, Ham- ilton, Walkerton, Ayton and my daughter gets Christmas leave from her new teaching position in Northern Ontario. It has been a very eventful year for us with lots to talk about and share. One of my fond memories of past Christmas seasons was sketching in black ink both for pleasure and for printing pro- jects. Although I do not consider myself as a professional artist, I am sharing one of my favourites of a village Christmas tree. As the holiday creeps closer, the staff at the Lucknow Senti- nel wishes you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. We look forward to you sharing your memories, stories, photos and images with our readers. Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Well tonight is the presen- tation of Carolfest here in Lucknow at Lucknow Pres- byterian Church, 7:45 p.m. The show is always a won- derful one with presenta- tions from local church choirs singing old and new Christmas carols. Get out and get into the Christmas Spirit and join in on a few songs. Last Friday night a very special couple came to town along with a bunch of elves, reindeers and helpers. There were lots of great floats to see and the Girl Guides col- lected food for the foodbank during the parade. Great parade everyone. You can also help the Sal- vation Army out this Christ- mas with a donation to the Sentinel's Mitten Tree, drop by the Sentinel office with some mittens or hats or scarves. It's great to see that HAWK Theatre is presenting their annual Christmas play this coming weekend at our local theatre. It will be I'm sure a great production once again. Last week our little family (Diane, Tony and I) travelled over to Meaford to meet up with sister and her husband (Linda and Marc) for lunch after which we went to visit our aunt Romelda Douglas. We were surprised to find Nellie's son Arlo also there which allowed us to catch up with him as well. The day turned out to be a fairly good one for driving espe- cially after those couple of horrendous days of snow that deluged us and buried Buffalo. Last week there was an unusual contest held with potatoes at the Lucknow Central Public School. Equally unusual were the winning potatoes created by teachers at the school. I didn't know we had such talented teachers in our school, congratulations to all the students and teachers on their great efforts. Sympathy of the commu- nity to the families of: Rob- ert Richardson, 87, Kincar- dine; John Schoen, 62, Lucknow; Peter VanDiepen- beek, 61, Ashfield Twp.; Kathryn McKague, 53, RR 3, Walkerton; and, Harry Albright, 74, RR 1, Elmwood. Purple Grove News Purple Grove WI Congratulations to some first time parents in our neighbourhood! Brianne Elliott and Warren Andrew welcomed their baby boy William, Jennifer and Allan Kozak are parents of baby girl Lyla on Tuesday last week and Matt Farrell and Kylie Pike twins arrived on Wednesday- Kieran and Abigail. It's great to have more babies to spoil! The Bazaar at RVilla was a great time to admire and purchase handmade and craft items! A great way to start on Christmas gifts. Happy 75th Birthday to Joan Gillespie! Family and friends wished her well at the social at the Kincardine United Church Saturday afternoon. Also happy retirement to Ida Piel after 30 years oper- ating IC Greenhouses on the 6th Concession. Saturday a party hosted by staff mem- bers and customer appreci- ation day was well attended and a chance to get some new items for the Christmas season. Lots of Santa Claus parades happening this weekend. Lucknow hosted theirs on Saturday evening and Sunday the Ripley busi- nesses hosted their Christ- mas in the Park. Folks enjoyed the parade, chili, hotdogs and hot chocolate and the children, of course, putting in their requests with Santa. Thanks too to the Ripley Lions for their help in the evening. Sympathy is extended to the family of Ross Lockwood of Ripley who passed away last week. Don't forget our Dec 3rd WI meeting at Marilyn Reid's. at 1:30 pm. Roll Call is a gift for child for the Xmas hampers.
