I'll ' be out and about snapping pictures and taking in all of .the events that the community of Lucknow has to offer. Since. my first day of work in Lucknow everyone has been very welcoming and it has made the transition very easyfor me. For the seven months that I've been 'here covering events . and doing inter- views I have found out everyone in the village sup- ports each other. All of the service clubs do the' utmost to help each other out and the ` more they help each other out, the better Lucknow is for it. From the pictures I have seen from past Summerfests, it seems this event epitomizes what Lucknow stands for an that is community will have_the :1 privilege of taking pictures of the many smiles of families enjoying everything from the pancake breakfast, the dances, the music, the m apy : sporting and children's events, etc au.. weekend long. I'm sure that Summerfest will be on1e of the events from my time ; here in Lucknow that I will reinember because it willremind of something that I take seriously in my life and that's family.

If you find a dead bird, you do not need . to call Public Health. Double bag the bird and place it in your garbage : for pick-up or bury the carcass at least two feet 'deep in an area that will not 'be disturbed. Do not bury in vegetable gardens. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling a dead bird. Since 2002, Public Health has asked residents of Grey Bruce to report dead birds so they could be tested for West Nile virus (WNv). Information on "positive" birds was used to plan activities to reduce the risk of human infection. Positive birds have been found in Grey Bruce every year since 2002. As WNv is here to stay, it . is no longer necessary to monitor dead, birds. Public Health will continue other ger collecting birds activities to reduce the risk of WNv. WNv is mainly a disease of birds but it can spread to humans through the: bite of an infected mosquito. Most people who get WNv have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, but for some, WNv can have very serious health effects. ' Though - you no longer need to report dead birds, it is still important to protect yourself and your family from WNv: - Avoid mosquito bites -- wear long- sleeved, light coloured clothing and apply insect repellent according to manufacturer's instructions. r- Minimize mosquitoes -- mosqui- toes lay their eggs in still, water, so make sure that water does not collect in containers or puddles in your yard. For more information, call Public Health at 519-376-9420 or 1-800-263- 3456 or visit our website at wviw.pub- lichealthgreybruce.on.ca. - - A blitz campaign willbe held in Lucknow on June 25,1959 and Friday, June 26 on behalf of Thursday y the Salvation Army's annual Red Shield campaign Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hamilton of Ashfield observed their 35th wedding anniversary on June 12, 1959. the occasion was marked by a surprise party held at the home of the bride and groom.
