Fun for All Ages
Next Monday is Family Day,
which is meant to be a time
for families to take time together to
have some fun. At least, that was the
intent when Ontario made it a Pro-
vincial Statutory Holiday.
There was certainly a lot of fun going
on in Lucknow over the weekend. The
Legion had it's monthly wing night with
the entertainment of Al Crawford's
music performance featuring favourites
from the past. This week saw another
musical event, the release of a brand
new single from former Lucknow native
Don Gammie. That is quite the time
span covered for music evolution.
There was lots of chilly activity to
be found at the Lucknow Arena.
There was hockey action from Friday
evening right through Sunday
between games and practices. For
those not into the game, and some
who are, there was Public Skating on
Sunday. It seemed the perfect time to
catch images of the frozen fun lead-
ing up to the February mid -winter
holiday. Snowmobiles were certainly
making tracks in the area, as well.
I am looking forward to seeing and
hearing how the Sentinel readers
have spent their Family Day. Please
send your stories and photos to luc-
know.editorial@sunmedia.ca to
share your memories with the
community.
I will also be looking for stories of
interest for the upcoming spring edi-
tion of the Farm Progress. Your ideas,
articles and photos for this farming
and rural lifestyle publication may
also be sent to lucknow.editorial@
sunmedia.ca.
Deadline Change:
Due to the Family Day holiday next
Monday, all materials must be
received by noon on Thursday, Feb-
ruary 12 to be included in the Febru-
ary 18th edition of the Lucknow Sen-
tinel. Thank you for your continued
co-operation in making the Sentinel
a newspaper for the community, by
the community.

If Wiarton Willie is correct we'll be hav-
ing an early spring, but if some of those
other groundhogs around the country are
right, we won't. Either way, we're still in the
middle of winter and whatever happens,
happens.
Our own Mike O'Neill was one of many
local authors who were in attendance this
past Sunday afternoon at the Port Elgin
Library for a "Book and Author Fair': It was a
chance for anyone to talk to and buy books
from local authors such as Mike.
It looked as though the tradition of pancake
Tuesday would not happen this year because
St. Peter's, the home of Lucknow's pancake
Tuesday for many, many years has closed. But
what's this I hear, the gauntlet has been taken
up by Lucknow Presbyterian Church who will
be holding the Shrove Tuesday pancake sup-
per using St. Peter's pancake recipe.
Speaking of Tuesday's, Tuesday's Table is
back on Feb. 24 at Lucknow United Church
at 5:30. All are welcome.
It was nice to see so much news in last
week's paper about the local public schools
and their artistic and literary endeavours.
Congratulations to all the children at Luc -
know and Brookside, keep up the good work
It was also good to see that the students in
Lucknow and Ripley are not neglecting their
physical activities.
Speaking of physical activities, it's nice to
see the Huron Bruce Swingers (square danc-
ers) are still going strong and entertaining
around the community.
Sympathy of the community to the families
of: Dale Haldenby, 77, RR 1, Holyrood; Patri-
cia Stanley, 88, Kincardine; and Margaret
Eskritt, 69, London.

Our sympathy is sent to June and Earl
Elliott of "R" Villa on the death of his
brother Ray in Florida. We have also lost
another of our old-timers. Patricia (Pat)
Stanley's funeral was held on Saturday the
31st of January. Our sympathy is sent to all
of the Stanley families.
Christine and Dominic Gemmell of
Nova Scotia holidayed with her parents
Diane and Arnold Clifford, Stewart and the
Newman family. Everyone did their part in
spoiling Dominic.
Xavier and Zarian Zuk of Walkerton
spent the weekend with their grandparents
Janet and Wayne Rhody.
The Ripley and District Horticultural
meeting was held on January 21st at the
Ripley Legion. The annual membership
fees were collected and the year's meeting
schedule was handed out. The folks attend-
ing appreciated the speaker Dennis
Bridge. Dennis spoke on noxious weeds
and invasive weeds in our area.
On Saturday the 31st Mary Anne
Kukoly visited with cousin Shirley Gilders
in Clinton and then attended the 90th
birthday party for Ruth McCosh in
Goderich..
The Purple Grove Women's Institute
held their February meeting at Marilyn
Reids Wednesday afternoon. Marilyn wel-
comed everyone and especially our three
guests. The roll call was answered by every-
one 'A product to remove stains'. There
were some interesting answers given - and
now to remember them when we need
them. Janet Nixon read the Scripture. The
only new business was the District Direc-
tors meeting in March. Old business
included an update about the removal of
the Tweedsmuir Histories from our Public
Library system. Mary Anne Kukoly
reported on the WI profiles that are being
worked on. Marilyn played a DVD taken at
the Hawk Theatre's Old Fashioned Fashion
Show that was produced last fall in Luc -
know. Those that didn't see the live pro-
duction wished they had been there.
Convenor Maureen Collins participated in
a skit with Deanna Scott that had us all
chuckling. Maureen read a Valentines story
and led with some contests. ShirleyMacDon-
ald and Janet Rhody each gave a reading.
The members all contributed to lunch and
as usual there was plenty. The March meet-
ing will be held at Mary Anne's with a change
of time starting as 1 P M.

getting the yard ready for Fun Day on

With or without your bike?
