For others, it is more of a change of season, especially to those in tourism or recreation. There is a lot of excitement and even apprehension in the air as students and teachers start another year in their aca- demic career. My daughter, for one, just got her first contract to teach since fin- ishing her teaching diploma require- ments. She is extremely excited as she was awarded a JK/SK class, which is what she wanted, and is also a bit appre- hensive as it is quite far from anywhere she has lived before, very isolated and in a different cultural environment. There will be a lot of people on the move as they head off for higher educa- tion or new positions. This can be stress- ful when either relocating or starting a new position is done its own, but piing challenges on top of each other is very much another part of the adventure of moving through life. It is both exciting and a bit scary to leave behind familiar faces and places to venture into new ter- ritory with few established contacts nearby. A lot of personal growth and learning come out of tackling the challenges. For some, this is a time to return to their nests. Many are returning from their cottages, summer holiday places or coming back to start a new chapter of their lives. Return to the familiar can have a calming effect... once the unpack- ing and settling back into routine is done. The school boards and police services are reminding motorists that there will again be school bus and more foot traffic during the morning and afternoon com- mutes. Please plan to leave enough extra time to accommodate this to avoid the urge to take chances on the roads to meet obligations. Even when rushed, please remember that it is better to arrive as the person that is a bit late than to be the late person who does not arrive. As we settle into the old or new rou- tines this season, take the time to remember those who are struggling in their lives. There are still many fundrais- ers and events happening to help those who need the extra help just to get through the days or to do more research for better treatments or cures to enable those afflicted to enjoy the many things we take for granted in our daily lives. A new beginning can be a great time to look into volunteer opportunities to enrich your life. There are all sorts of ways to become involved with others to expand your experiences and give you the rewarding feeling of having made a difference in your place of learning or workplace, in your community and in the lives of others. Embrace this new beginning. We only get one chance to live each day, let's make the most of it! How's your penmanship Fall Fair Facts With the arrival of computers, the art of penmanship could be seen as falling by the wayside. Check out Class 38 of the Lucknow Fall Fair where you can enter a handwritten copy of a specified poem to be judged for penmanship. That class is for adults 60 plus and has 30 sections you can enter. However, all other homecraft sections are open to all adults, no matter the age. Lucknow News By Ruth Dobrensky Now that Music in the Fields is over for another year, Lucknow can pat themselves on the back for another successful event. Our next big event here in town will be the Terry Fox Run on Sept. 14. This is a worthy cause so I hope all who can take part will do so and all who can't will support someone in the run. Fall Fair time in Lucknow will be upon us soon and I for one am looking forward to the parade and all the exhibits that will be shown at the fair. Last week the Lucknow Sepoy Ranees were represented at a red hat event in Owen Sound by our one and only illus- trious Queen Pat Weir. Unfortunately, all our other members were unable to attend but Pat said they had a great afternoon of entertainment and fun. There was a Parkinson SuperWalk in Hanover this past weekend. I hope they did as well this year as they did in 2013. Lucknow Presbyterian Church held a supper last Friday night. I hear that the evening was well attended and a great success. What a short summer we seemed to have had. School started early this fall, or so it seems to me, and all the kids are back and working hard. Remember they are out there on their way to and from school on foot or in buses so drive carefully and keep your eyes open, sometimes they don't think, so we driv- ers have to be extra alert and careful. Welcome back students, have a fun year.

Wawanosh 4-H holds last Meeting Reba Jefferson The sixth meeting of the Wawanosh 4-H Wonder Women was held on Tues- day, August 19 at 7:45 at the Auburn Hall. Kate Higgins opened the meeting with the motto, then led roll call which asked members what their favourite type of movie was. Most members answered with comedies. Jolande Oud- shoorn then read the minutes from the previous meeting. The club then watched a comedy together while painting their nails. This activity was great for sharing some laughs and bonding over doing one another's nails. After the movie was over, Mary Ellen Foran informed mem- bers that books are due on September 30th. Achievement will be held on Wednesday, August 27 at 7pm at the Wawanosh Nature Centre. The club will be attending "Wawanosh by Moon- light" which involves a hike and camp- fire while watching and listening for owls.
