B.aek in the 'saddle' again
by, Amy Neilan
1. must say I have had, a
great time, here in
Lucknow and I look for-
ward to:, returning later in
the summer.
This ppast week,1 havebeen, filling. in at, the
' Sentinel while Pat has
been on a much. 'needed. -
vacation I'm, sure. ,
And, what a wonderful
little town you have here:
have never seen so much
spirit and pride for ones
community. This is evi-
dent, from my point of
view any way, in all of the
effort 1 have seen- being
taken. in organizing the
upcoming reunion.
Everyone. seems to be
involved and very -enthusi-
astic about the upcoming
event,
The support that has
been 'shown for Dress
Down. Fridays in support like trying 'to ride a bike
of the swimming pool again,
repairs has, been amazing . Happy Mother's Day
Sunday .is Mother's Day
and 1 would like to wish a,
Happy Mother's Day to ail
mothers out. there. It's too
bad we only take one day.
out of each year to -show
our appreciation and love
to our mothers, We all
know thattheir hard work
continues 24 -hours a day, _
365 days a year and
though we don't always
show it, all that work is
always appreciated.
I also want to wish my
mom a happy» Mother's
Day and tea, thank her for.
all of those tireless hours
she spent withme and any
Rout brothers and sisters.
teaching us, helping us,.
caring for us and support-
ing us with everything we.
choose to pursue.
as well, I know around
here nobody minds throw-
ing on their jeans for
work. It's nice to see a
community alt come
together;like .this. "1 hope
other communities 'wil'l
become infected by this
village's. spirit.
A big thanks to all who
have been a big help to me
this past week, especially
the Sentinel staff, 1 have
been out of the newspaper
business for over: a. year
now travelling and purse-
lug "other interests,' 1
thought it, would be diffi

for a. good piace'
to go • fishing
ng
Dear editor,
Recently, me and my brother decided to go fishing..
We went to the •spot we go every year, Beingcourteous,
we went to the door and asked the owner if we could: go
fishing on their property. the reply was no, The owners
on both ' sides of the river
decided to .make it private
property.
My reason ,for writing is
the Town of Lucknow does-
n't want young people "hang-
ing
, .......
out on thestreet, but they won't let uson their prop-
erty to fish. If me and my brother were destroying
things; then they would have reason, to say no to us. But
all we wantedto- do was walk: down to the river bank
and'stand, and fish, 1 don't see any harnS.in that. Every
good place in town is private property. And that
SUCKS! ,
