With all of the major issues in our lives to contend with, have you ever noticed it is often the smallest of issues that can really drive you buggy? What has gotten me thinking along these lines? Two words. .fruit flies. I was once told by a very wise teacher that if you have a question you should not be afraid or ashamed to ask it. If you want to know, then someone else does, too. I have also been told by my much -more -tech -savvy - than -I children that Google is my friend. So, I googled fruit flies... I got 17,300,000 results. Apparently my former teacher was right. I am not the only one with questions about fruit flies. In the past I have put cider vinegar or fruit juice in a small container covered with plas- tic film with holes pierced to allow the fruit flies to enter and hopefully not ever exit. These little creatures must have evolved and learned that entering such a trap is not a good method of ensuring the survival of the species as they no longer fall for this ploy. Just going crazy with a fly swatter is not at all effective as a control method once the colony is established, either. I need to find some way to address the fruit fly issue without poisoning myself. Having raised children who have allergy and/or asthma issues as I do, I am absolutely against using pesticides or other harsh chemicals in and around my home if there is any other method that will do the job. I am appealing to you, the community, for your wisdom in dealing with fruit flies. With an agricultural base, edible gardens, a horti- cultural society and so many environmen- tally sensitive people in the area I feel much more confident learning from you than from Google. I will gladly pass on some tips I receive on this and other annoying little issues that drive us all buggy in future edi- tions. Please send your responses to lucknow. editorial@sunmedia.ca. CORRECTIONS From the May 7 edition: The captions on the lower photos of the article "Volunteers join the Lucknow com- munity pickup" were reversed. The resident volunteers were the Murray family and the Scouts appeared in the photo to their right.

South Kinloss RMS. Marilyn Maclntyre For the Lucknow Sentinel The May meeting of South Kinloss W.M.S. was held at the home of Margaret de Boer on May 7, 2014 at 7:30 p.m. with Margeret de Boer as hostess. Anne Guay and Margaret de Boer were Directors. President Donna Sutton opened the meeting by welcoming everyone to the meeting. The W.M.S. Purpose was repeated in unison. Business arising from the minutes regarding the Spring Rally was discussed. An e-mail has been sent to the congrega- tion asking for help with food and serving on May 12 at the dinner. There will be 65-70 people attending the dinner. New business: Donna Sutton reported that she had the next Community forum, which will be held the end of May, planned. Ann Finlayson, who has been a Master Gar- dener, will tell us "How to Garden With- out Nasty Chemicals." Posters will be dis- tributed at a later date. The date for the June meeting has been changed to June 11 because of a conflicting meeting planned on our regular date. Roll Call was answered by eight members reading a verse with the word "family" in it. Offering was received and Donna gave the offertory prayer. The Directors led with study number two on Maternal and Child Health. It was about Afghanistan which is one of the least developed countries ranking 175 out of 183 countries. Women's literacy rate is 12%. Some women are beginning to use the Clinics in their region but it is a slow process. Anne showed a video about Promoting Health in Afghanistan in which three different women told their stories. The Worship Service was led by Marga- ret deBoer and Anne Guay. Anne read the Call to Worship. Hymns sung during the Service were "Allelua, Allelua, Give Thanks to the Risen Lord", "I Danced in the Morning" and "Come to Us Beloved Stranger." Scripture pertaining to Mary's life as a mother was read by the mem- bers. Anne and Margaret narrated parts between the Scripture passages. Anne Guay led in prayer. A contest to name some mothers from the Bible brought the meeting to a close. The Directors served a tasty lunch and a time of fellowship was enjoyed. WWAM Celebrates Mothers Laura Lee Cayley Women With a Mission The May meeting of Women With a Mis- sion had the theme Biblical and modern mothers. As members gathered, they worked on a "Women In the Bible" cross- word. Mary Lou Irwin and Laura Lee Cay - ley read a "Tribute to Mothers" and the origin of Mother's Day. The scripture was from Proverbs 31 in the "Message': Each person shared something we might not know about her mother. The hymn "Part of the Family" was sung and other readings, "Mothers are Human Too',' "The Prognosis" and "Only Mom will Do" were given. Glenda Morrison sang "Women of the Bible" accompanied by Ruth Ritchie. The program closed with prayer. Leader Karen Allen opened the busi- ness with "What is a Mother?" Members brought a tea towel for roll call. Barb Helm read about mothers around the world for "Fellowship of the Least Coin': For Stewardship, Marlene Struthers reported on the Yard/Bake Sale on Satur- day. On Silver Lake Sunday there will be a putluck lunch. Fourteen youth will be con- firmed on Father's Day. The UCW General Meeting is on May 27 and the WWAM cot- tage meeting will be on June 17.
