Jill Campbell was the guest
speaker at the Lucknow Sports
Banquet on the weekend. Jill is the
daughter of Eleanor and Duncan
Campbell. She completed her public
school education in Lucknow, and
obtained her secondary education in
Walkerton.
As a youngster, Jill was an avid
participant in many sports. For the
past five years, as a member of the
Ontario Women's Field Hockey
Team, her concentration has been
on that sport.
Jill is in her first year at the
University of Guelph, studying for
a Bachelor of Applied Science
Degree, majoring in family . and
social relations. The daily practises,
training schedule, weekend games
and course load' make it necessary
tobe able to organize your time
and use it profitably, said Jill,
In talking about an athlete's pur-
suit of success, Jill made several
points to the youngsters present:
She stressed that "One must never

Marianna Porter,. president of the Auxiliary to Winter Sports, says
they are once again "beating the bushes" looking for volunteers to
assumeexecutive and team captain positions.
Mrs, Porter said the auxiliary has been very, successful in raising
funds from the foobooth operated at the arena during the winter
months. However, 44 said it is time for others to come forward and
give of their..time.
During' the. past year over $4,000 was raised. These funds are always
put back into the community and benefit the youth who participate in
the local' figure skating, hockey or ringette pro s. This year the
auxiliary i@ontributed $1,000 to figure skating, 1300 to two sets of .
ringette sweaters and one set of juvenile sweaters; $88 to refurbish first
aid kits; $75 for name patches for new younger hockey players; $425
to the Elaine Irwin Tournament and around $1200 alone for the
team/individual pictures given to each hockey and ringette player at the
banquet Friday night.
The point is the profits from the food booth benefit the youth, and in
turn lessens the stress on the parental Or business person's pocketbook.
If there are no funds from the auxiliary to supplement costs, we know
where it is going to come from, said Mrs. Porter.
A meeting is scheduled for tonight (Wednesday) Apr. 7 at 8 p.m. in
the arena room upstairs. Mrs. Porter said if there is no interest shown
b '•. 'le to re ' lace the • resident, treasurer .secre . and four team
captain (the other four have another year to serve), the ayixiliary will
fond and the food booth will be advertised for public tender.

ment eenses to 1991 levels,

dary institutions. She also said to
choose what you do best and com-
mit yourself; sports limits your
social life with your friends; ap-
preciate all those who helped you
along the way and gave up so much
of their time; learn to get along and
work as a team both on and off the
field.
Recently recovered from an in-
jury, Jill is now gearing up with her
team for participation in the Canada
Summer Games this August . in
Kamloops, B.C. As member of the
provincial team, Jill said one of the
benefits is the extensive travel she
has experienced, playing in every
province • except Saskatchewan.
Satisfaction also comes in the pride
felt representing your province;
achieving goals you set for your
self, and meeting new people, she
said.
For Jill, field hockey has taught
her to take the losses in stride and
learn how to cope with disap-
pointment. "We win, we lose, but
we never give up hope."

Lucknow's going green!
Indications are that the Village of Lucknow is going green! And if
you want to be a part .of making the village a little greener, you can do
so by involving yourself in the Lucknow Community Greenway Project.
This project revolves around improvements to river valley lands in the
village that will benefit people and the environment.
The three main parts to the project are: the development of
recreational facilities including scenic trails, boardwalks and bridges; the
planting of trees, shrubs and wildflowers .along the rivers; and
improvements to fish habitat.
The Greenway Project will be phased over a three-year period. Much
of the work will take place on lands owned by the village. In addition,
landowners living along the rivers will be encouraged to be involved by
planting trees and shrubs on their properties.
An open house on Apr. 28, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Town Hall will
allow interested persons to review the plans for the Greenway Project.
Lucknow's Maitland Valley Conservation. Authority (MVCA)
representative, Councilor Lynn Peck, said,' The Greenway Project will
benefit the village and the surrounding area. Everyone can be involved."

Society, Nine Mile Salmon and Steelheaders Association, the village,
MVCA, Ministry of Natural Resources .(MNR) and Environment
Canada. Environment Canada will be providing $30,400 in funding for
this project. The Lions Club, the village, MVCA and MNR will also
