Winners Then and Now
This edition of the Sentinel is full of
winners, both past and present.
The most obvious wins are those in
the sports pages. Congratulations to EE. Madill
track competitors for their performances at the
Guelph Invitational meet Repeat champs are
featured with the Holyrood Butchers, aprime
example of the hockey roots of the area. Not to
be outdone, the RipleyWolves have won their
championship for 2015. The Legends photo
has been reprinted this week to include the
players' names. Recognition for all of these ath-
letes is well deserved.
Avery different win for Huron County was
the winning idea of Denise Angst to host ele-
mentary students at their farm for the Dairy
Education Day. This is averypositive and pow-
erful
owerful way to disseminate knowledge to the
younger generation. I was particularly amused
when the Kindergarten to grade 2 classes dis-
embarked from the bus and I overheard one
youngster exclaim, "Look, there is a cow! Is it
ever huge!" The students were very taken with
one calf as it had just been bom at 9 am on the
moming of the tour. They watched it try out its
wobbly legs while the mother cow looked on.
Another win for Lucknow is the filling of
another commercial space. The comer of
Lucknow Road #1 and Highway #86 will be a
busy place this summer with the opening of
both the ice cream parlour and vendor's
market. Both projects are bound to attract
locals and tourists alike. This is the perfect
opportunity for anyone who is interested in
developing or expanding their home-based
craft business in a cooperative venture. Any-
one who is interested in volunteering in a
retail setting to learn new skills or keep old
ones sharp should contact Daniel Sutton.
Another volunteer has been recognized
at Pinecrest Manor. The gift of music has
been shared with the residents making this
a very enjoyable win for all involved.
The entire community wins when bullying is
identified and addressed. Brookside Public
School has participated in many activities to be
leaders in dealing with this still too prevalent
issue. Women's House is another champion in
the community which has been helped out by
a donation from the Lucknow Kinsmen. This is
a great example of community champions
paying it forward to help even more people.
Share your winning stories and photos, past
and present, by submitting them to lucknow.

Dungannon & St. Helen's News
Shag Campbell
On April 9 there were 18 for coffee
hour at the Dungannon Senior Centre
but only 9 for euchre in the after-
noon. Irene Marcum had high card with
a 54. Shag managed a 51.
The Bellmore syrup festival had
about 6 thousand folks attending
from all over. At least that is what I
was told.
The NHL regular season is over. Did
your favourite team make the playoffs?
Both of our teams did. Should be inter-
esting in the Campbell household, as we
cheer for opposing teams.
The United Church in Dungannon
had 64 hungry folks for their supper on
April 12th, and that was only the first
sitting.

I read with great interest about all
the local volunteers who received spe-
cial awards for their many years of vol-
unteering and I congratulate all of
them. At the same time, our Governor
General, David Johnston, is busy giving
out awards from across Canada to a
group of very special volunteers. Vol-
unteering for many is a way of life, and
in small communities such as Luc -
know, it is often a way of life. I myself,
like so many, have volunteered for
many things, but then there are the
special people who are constantly vol-
unteering. I don't know where they get
the energy, but they do, and we are all
the better for it.
Our local theatre group (HAWK) is
presenting their spring play this week
and next at the Town Hall theatre. Speak-
ing of our HAWK Theatre group, I hear
they are performing at the Ripley Reun-
ion this summer with a special play for
the occasion.
The Almost Famous Players will be
performing in early May at Madill High
School, Wingham, and in Teeswater and
Clinton towards the end of May. They
always put on a good show, support
them if you can.
I saw the article in last week's paper
about the LCPS students learning from
immigrants and refugees about what it
was like for them to come to Canada.
It's too bad that not all our
There was Bingo at the Agricultural
Hall on April 24 at 7 p.m.
The ham and scalloped potato meal
between Euchre and Darts was rea-
sonably priced at $10.00 per plate, on
April 25.
The Amish farmers pulled their spyles
around April 13. Those that had tapped
early had a good run for maple syrup.
Some of then have already planted rad-
ishes and peas. They are getting eager to
start planting their spring grain as are
most farmers.
Did you attend the Cabin Fever dance
on April 11th at the Dungannon Agricul-
tural Hall? A good way to get rid of the
winter blues.

grandparents or great-grandparents
related to us what it was like to immi-
grate to this country 100 years or more
ago. For example, my paternal grandfa-
ther came in 1912 from Ukraine by
himself to get established and then my
grandmother came with her two
youngest (my father was just about a
year old), leaving their oldest to come
the next year with other family mem-
bers. The trip took over three months,
first by horse and cart to a train line,
then by train north through Ukraine,
Poland and Germany to a port, and
then by ship to Montreal where they
were met by my grandfather. It sounds
simple, but it wasn't, and even though
most immigrants arrive by plane today,
many do not, and their travels are often
hindered by war. It's a good thing that
Canada is able to take in so many peo-
ple from so many countries and give
them safe homes with the promise of a
good life. Just remember, all of us,
except native Canadians were immi-
grants at one time and we are lucky our
ancestors found such a great country to
live in.
Sympathy of the community to the
families of: Dale Maclnnis, 51, Dun-
gannon; Katherine Fraser, 88, Ripley;
Madeline McKinnon, 76, Walkerton
(formerly Teeswater); Merle Rhody,
82, Lucknow; Keith Rodger, 73,
Auburn; and, Ronald Harkness, 74,
Bervie.
