The Lucknow Fall Fair was a fun time
I attended my first Lucknow Fall
Fair this weekend and I ran into
numerous people enjoying the
weekend festivities. I really
enjoyed the Settlers Creek Band
and the tasty treats that were
available all weekend from the
food booths to the fair
breakfast.
It was nice to see the
kids from.around the area
enjoying the rides on the
midway: Small town fairs
really showcase the type of commu-
nity one has and for Lucknow, it's
evident that it's a down to earth
kind of place, but at the same time,
the people here know how to have
fun.
I've only been to one other fall
fair and that's the Owen Sound one
and the Lucknow one was a just as
fun. I especially got a kick out of
the soap box derby. Watching the
kids zoom down the hill in their
derby cars was amusing, but at
the same time, I was amazed at
how well driven they were.
This may be my first and
last Lucknow Fall Fair, since
I'll be leaving the. Sentinel
this winter, but the fair left
me With some good expe-
riences. Who knows, I may
just come back next fall
fair to check out all the.
great events.
The weather isettin a little
l� g
colder for the fall months and this
will probably be one of the last out-
door events until next year, so it was
good to enjoy one last weekend of
fun without all the snow that will be
inevitable this upcoming winter.
It was nice to see everyone enjoy.the - weekend and how well it was
put together by the Lucknow
Agricultural Society.
Mailboxes
eing vandalised in area
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter pirf
to the teens or young - o
the
adults who keep vandal-
izing our mailboxes in
the Zion Rd. St. Helens, IBelgrave
area Although this letter r presents
my thoughts and my opiniim, there
are many other : neighbours whose
mailboxes have been vandalized as
well.
Personally we have gone through
seven mailboxes in less than the
three years I have lived here. It
would have been more, but some
were still usable after the damage
and like many others we just kept
using the banged up, trashy looking
mail boxes until they were
destroyed completely.
We had to take our hard earned
money and instead of buying the
kids a treat or taking them on an
outing we had to purchase yet
another mailbox because you have
nothing better to do then ruin other
peoples property with no regards to
our feelings.
This latest attack took place on
Thursday, Sept. 4 after dark. We
bought a. vandal proof mailbox this
time so after bashing it a couple
times with a baseball bat and realiz-
ing it really wasn't a sufficient
amount of damage you decided to
rip the top part off and leave the
post that wasn't removable because
of the cement. For some stupid rea-
son you decided, to then
itor drop it along with other
mailboxes off at a neigh-
bour's house, (many
thanks to this neighbour for taking
the trouble to drive around and find
out who these mailboxes belonged
to). You were spotted that night and
we have the make and model of
your white/silver truck.
We have installed a video f camera
so all we need is for you to come
vandalize it one : more timeso we
can collect the last piece of the puz-
zle to give to the police, so they can
finally` convict you. Our bill to you
is over $500. Multiply that by the
number of people you have vandal-
ized and it sure adds up.
Come on guys or gals we have
better things tospend our time and
money on then having to replace
mailboxes.
Please note that this .letter is
intended for the small group of peo-
ple that committed this crime. I
have had the pleasure to meet some
of the most wonderful, caring peo-
ple, kids, teens, and young adults in
this community and realize this is
just a small group that is trying to
get some sort of thrill or kick from
doing this.

- Huron -Kinloss road name changes were completed at
council's Sept. 13, 1999 meeting. Because the 911 emer-
gency service doesn't allow duplicated names in a township,,
Campbell Street in Point Clark was changed to Clemett
Street. Council said it was best to change Point Clark's street
name because Campbell Street in Lucknow, is their main
street. :
