HEART OF GOLD AWARDS
Do you recall that 1 sent out a challenge
to Lucknow and area residents a few
weeks ago regarding the Heart of Gold
Award program, jointly sponsored by Air
Canada and the Corrununity Newspapers
Association, of which the Sentinel is a
member.
At that time 1 was hoping to receive 40
nominations from the Lucknow and area.
To date I have 14, all of which have been
processed and awarded the Heart of Gold.
To be announced later ).
The deadline for nominations is July 31.
This award is a fantastic opportunity for
us to thank members of our community
who go out of their way to make Lucknow
and area a better place to live. They are
the selfless, willing, understanding people
we admire for the effort they put into
everything they do. They do not have to be
heroes.
Come on Lucknow, West Wawanosh,
Ashfield and Kinloss - let's not miss this
opportunity to recognize all those special
people in our community.
The only criteria to be nominated: must
be a Canadian resident and 19 years of age
or over.
It is not difficult to nominate a person for
this award. Give me a call at the office and
I will give you all the information you
need. Hurry - the deadline is fast
approaching.
HEAT WAVE
While sitting in the backyard recently, I
was astonished to see the abundance of
leaves from my poplar trees laying on the
ground. What used to be lawn, but now
'looks like a straw field, was and is covered
by leaves. Thanks to the dry weather, my
trees that hide the view of the barns are
taking on a naked appearance, which nor
mally doesn't happen until September. It
doesn't seem that long ago, that I was com-
plaining to hubby that the trees weren't
filling in. Well, they filled in finally and in
no time it seems I am looking at semi -bare
trees again.
Now I am no lover of gardening, but this
year I decided that "we" would plant a
garden and "we" would do pickling and
freeze vegetables.
"We" planted the garden, even potatoes,
and sat back and waited for it to grow. The
carrots still have not come through the
ground. The rest •that broke through the
ground does not look all that healthy -
despite the fact that, we try to water it
every other night. It really amazes Inc
when we• have had such dry conditions,
HOW COME THE WEEDS DO SO WEI,L?
It drives me insane trying to pull weeds or
grass from the garden. The ground is so
dry the weed breaks off and the root of the
culprit is still in the grdund and in no time
at all is up higher than the veggies again.
I think next year "we" will forget the
gardening and do business with those in
the area who loving gardening and are suc-
cessful at it.
Have a good week !
Mother of three
graduates with honor

Journal, written by Mart; Berry. Joan is

McIswan of Holyrood area.
BY MARG BERRY
When adult student Joan Cook, of RR 5,
St. Thomas, walked across the stage at Ar-
thur Voaden Secondary School to receive
her secondary school graduation diploma,
and her honor student plaque, she had
achieved a dream.
Returning to school after 15 years to get
her Grade 12 graduation diploma, atten-
ding classes with young students, some
half her age, had been a frightening pro-
spect for her last fall. When she kicked off
her shoes after receiving her diploma, and
relaxed to hear the rest of the night's
awards, she thought her part in the ac-
tivities was over.
When she heard the name Joan Cook
called as recipient of the female graduate
scholar of the year award, she thought it
was another student with the same name.
Her classmates assured her that she had
indeed won the award.
"That's one problem adult students
have," she admitted. "They constantly
underestimate themselves."
Mrs. Cook surprised herself even more,
by winning two additional awards. With an
overall average of 92.5 per cent, she was
selected female graduate scholar of the
year, over 240 other graduating students.
She also captured the Pullman Canada
Ltd. award for the highest female average
in Grade 12, and the Abbie Bole Memorial
prize for excellence in Grade 12 English.
',THONG DESIRE
Although Joan entered the year with a
strong desire to achieve her diploma, her
accomplishments on her return to high
- school as an adult student far exceed her
expectations last fall.
When she walked into, guidance
counsellor John Cook's office at Arthur
Voaden for the first time she says, "I was
terrified. I sat in John Cook's office and
listened to him outline the courses and
thought, I can't do that."
In September she walked through the
doors of AVSS, with about 60 other adult
students.
"It takes a lot of courage to go through
those doors for the first time. I didn't know
my way around and I didn't know where to
go."
Joan had left school after Grade 11 and
trained as a hairdresser. After her mar-
riage to Tiin, and the birth of her three
children, Joan opted to stay home until her
children were all in school.
She says, "I don't regret staying home
with my children. That was my choice. My
sister went back to school seven years ago,
and graduated as a nurse. I returned to
high school to earn my diploma, so that I
could advance to college and a new
career."
She is now on a waiting list to enter the
dental assistant course at Fanshawe Col-
lege. She plans to graduate as a dental
assistant, work for a year then return for
the dental hygienist course. If she isn't ac-
cepted into Fanshawe this year, she will be
back at AVSS picking up senior sciences
and maths, to better qualify herself for the
college course.
Joan feels that an adult student's at-
titude is important to success when return-
ing to school. "You have to believe in
