Resi- dents on Canning Street and Ross Street reported they were missing various garden tools including rakes and shovels as well as several lawn ornaments on Sunday morning. As the value of the items taken from each residence is low, the thefts were not reported to OPP. However, the victims want to warn the community to lock all vehicles, garages and sheds to protect their property. Watch for people who should not normally be there. Be particularly careful to not leave items outside at night.

E 0 A� W c N 0 c 0 Market Opening Valerie Gillies Lucknow Sentinel The new Sepoy Vendors Market is set to be opened in Lucknow on May 1, 2015. The market will be located in the former 3 -Creeks Res- taurant building at the intersection of Bruce Road #1 and Highway #86. The volunteer project manager is Danielle Sutton who will be doing promotions and generally manag- ing the cooperative market which is to be run by the vendors who will volunteer their time to operate, as part of their contract. The basic idea for this market is to encourage home-based crafter businesses. There are already seven or eight vendors interested. The offerings so far will be crafts, antiques, Pet So Well dog jewelry and other pet products, candles, quilting, crochet and furniture. Tea and coffee donations will help to buy supplies for the market such as bags and ongoing expenses. Weather permitting, outdoor ven- dors will set up, as well. Lisa Pennington owns the building and has provided space to Sutton to set up the market. Sutton explains that "we can't say that it is a not-for-profit market as the ven- dors will pay rent for the space." An added benefit to the location is that the Pennington family will be opening "What's the Scoop, Ice Cream Parlour" in the same build- ing. The parlour will be included on the Ice Cream Trail, bringing in traffic for the market, as well. Sut- ton views the market as a great way to utilize unused space while offer- ing something else in town to sup- port buying local. McPyatt Signs is making the ban- ner as signage for the Sepoy Ven- dors Market. Donations are wel- come to help cover the banner cost. Sutton is still looking for more vendors, student help and other volunteers. The Sepoy Vendors Market is expected to be open three days per week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm as of May 1.
