The Lucknow Sentinel, 1989-10-11, Page 17Where is ' urple Grove?
In this season of _being thankful I cannot
help but be 'thankful for our ancestors who
braved the harshness of settling our com-
munity. Some of you have asked where
Purple Grove is? In days past there was
a post office in the residence now owned
by Marion Emmerson, and a lovely little
Methodist Church. Of course the post office
is a thing of the past and the church has
been torn down. Now Purple Grove is
situated in the hearts of those living in
that area east of the 15th and taking in
Concessions 10, and 12 and the boundary
between Huron and Kincardine townships,
bordered on the east by the Huron -Kinloss
boundary road.
And because Purple Grovers have
always had large hearts and don't like to
leave anyone out, there are a lot of folks
outside of that little area that claim the
name. Because each one contributes their
part all are welcomed and appreciated.
One of the positives in the community is
the former Purple Grove School, now con-
verted into a Community Centre. It's *a
great place to gather and celebrate our
rural roots.
Congratulations to the folks at Teeswater
for (putting on another good fair. Some
from our community attended .and enjoyed
themselves.

utstanding contributions to the quality of life in our
communities are being made everyday by young
citizens. Do you know someone between the ages of 6
and 18 who has demonstrated selfless service, overcome a
physical or psychological limitation, performed an act of
heroism, shown initiative, or simply a dedication to the
well-being of those around them? Someone who has more
than "measured up" in their commitment to others?
You can help Canadian Airlines International and the
Ontario Community Newspapers Association honour that
special someone by nominating them for an Ontario Junior
Citizen of the Year Award. Every nominee receives a
certificate and up to 12 individuals and one group will be
the recipients of a plaque presented by the Lieutenant
Governor of Ontario, $200.00 and a family portraitwith the
Lieutenant Governor. Nominations are accepted up to
October 31st, 1989.
