Canada' cnal Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Fairs and Elections So what do Fall Fairs and Elections have in common? They both are centered around various compe- titions for the top prizes. There is also the dubious link that politicians tend to show up in the fair parades. This is fall fair season and many communities have already staged their events, while there are still more to come. The biggest contrast between Lucknow and Ripley fairs this year was the weather. It was a rainy weekend for the Lucknow Fall Fair, whereas the sun shone brightly during Ripley's Fair. The biggest difference this year between the municipal elections for Huron -Kinloss and Ashfield-Col- bourne-Wawanosh is the number of candidates. Many of the Councillors for Huron -Kinloss, as well as the Dep- uty Mayor will be staying put with only the Mayoral and School Superinten- dent seats to determine. There are 13 candidates registered to vie for office in Ashfield-Colbourne-Wawanosh. Watch future editions of the Sentinel for candidate information. The Grey Bruce Health Unit has taken the initiative to reach out to municipal candidates to address the issues identified for the Counties. The Health Unit has put together packages for each candidate and challenges each to set out their views on these issues. You can find a list of the topics in the article printed in this edition of the Sentinel. LUCKNOW NEWS By Ruth Dobrensky Now that the Ripley Fall Fair is over, and a good one it was, though of course, in my opinion, it's never as good as Lucknow's. I can't help it if I'm prejudiced. However, it was a good fair with lots of people out to enjoy their "mammoth" parade, events and exhibits. Well done Ripley. I was off rambling again last week, went over to my sister's in Perkinsfield near Mid- land. We had a bit of mini family reunion with a few cousins including my cousin Jean and her husband Tom from the States. We had a good time talking and eating, catching up and just having a good time together. Congratulations and happy 70th anni- versary to Grace and Ross Gammie who celebrated with a come and go at the Luc - know Presbyterian Church this past Saturday. It seems there are some new teachers this fall at Lucknow Central Public, wel- come to Lucknow ladies, we hope you enjoy your year with us here in our great lit- tle town. A big change has occurred in Lucknow, as you probably read in last weeks paper, Montgomery Ford has been sold and Ian has decided to "retire" from the business. I'm sure that he'll find lots to do and the business will probably always be referred to as Montgomery's. I hope some of you were able to get out to enjoy the ham and scalloped potato supper at South Kinloss this past Sunday night. Also this past Sunday, Lucknow United Church held a covenanting service and ordination celebration for Rev. Lynne Wil- son. Congratulations Lynne. Sympathy of the community to the fami- lies of: John Harris, 94, Lucknow; Kenneth Johnstone, 61, Lucknow; and, Alfreda Hal- lahan, 65, Listowel (formerlyWalkerton). Purple Grove News Purple Grove WI Wow - what a stretch of warm weather. The farmers are certainly happy. Won't hurt the Ripley Fall Fair either. Congratulations to the Lucknow Agri- cultural Society for all its hard work in putting on their fair. Hope the weather is good for the Tiverton Fair. Happy Birthday to Kay Farrell Fraser who celebrated her 88th birthday last weekend at Emmerton Beach. Family and friends gathered from near and far to wish her the very best. Congratulations to Marion and Don Emmerton who cel- ebrated their 50th anniversary recently. Largaret and Karen McInnes accom- panied Nancy and Brian King to visit Peal Brindley and family in Riversdale recently. Shirley Gilders of Clinton visited with cousins in the area last weekend. Everett Farrell son of Becky (Bridge) and Thomas Farrell, was baptized Sun- day the 20th at St Andrew's United Church in Ripley. We hope that all the folks in hospital and recovering at home from surgeries are healing well. We are thankful that Earl Elliott is out of the Wingham hospital. Local folks appreciated the speakers at the AIM banquet in Kincardine Friday evening the 19th. Modem human slavery and trafficking are topics that we should all know more about. In all the fair hustle and bustle, the ladies are reminded not to miss the W I meeting on Wednesday, October 1st at 7:30 p.m. at the community centre Health Unit Event Celebrates Breastfeeding Week ) Huron Health Unit Submitted Celebrate Canadian Breastfeed- ing Week with mothers and the Huron County Health Unit on October 4 in Clinton. Past and present breastfeeding mothers, along with the people who have supported them, are invited to a morning cafe from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, October 4. The event will take place at the Jacob Memorial Building on 77722D London Road, south of Clinton near the Health Unit. The cafe is co -hosted by MILKS (Mothers Initiating Lactation Knowledge and Support). MILKS is a peer group of breastfeeding moms who offer support, information and experiences with each other around nurturing their infants. Mothers need inspiring stories from other mothers to get through the rough days and enjoy the great days. MILKS has a Facebook page and monthly group meetings in Wingham, Goderich and Hensall. Peer support, such as MILKS, is important for breastfeeding moth- ers, as are communities that pro- mote baby -friendly mindsets. Baby -Friendly Practices encourage moms to make decisions on how they feed their babies based on fac- tual information and weighing the benefits, risks, and impact on their infants and themselves. Breast milk is the natural and healthiest food for newborns. Health Canada recommends babies receive only breast milk for the first six months of life. At six months, introduce iron -rich solid foods and continue breast milk to two years and beyond. Skin -to -skin contact and following the baby's cues while feeding all promote healthy development and reduce stress in infants. Cafe guests will leam more infor- mation about the Baby- Friendly Initiative and how our community can get involved. Canadian Breastfeeding Week is October 1-7, 2014.
