Canaa'a pocnaI Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Looking Both Ways It seems in this edition of the Sentinel that we are looking both to the past and to the future. Celebrating a long past together, there were 4 tables of sweethearts at the Valentines Luncheon at Pinecrest Manor. Itis heartening to see the longev- ity ongevity of these marriages. In a move to make our golden years more successful a new Grey Bruce Council on Aging is being formed. This is the per- fect opportunity to get involved in shaping things to come and planning to make yours and others' futures brighter and healthier. The Lucknow and District Kinsmen are look- ing ooking to do a facelift on the tennis courts that they originally built in 1981. The main ingredient for this project is the Sport Tiles. Although they may seem expensive, they will outlast an asphalt course, as they are guaranteed to last 15-16 years, but in use have proved to last up to 20 years. This is a case of taking something tired and worn and applying new technology to give it new and bet- ter life. In turn, this will improve the lives of those who use it to get the necessary exercise to stay healthy and fit. One of the benefits of the new tiles is that they have more give than the asphalt, making it easier on older joints on impact. Look- ing ooking both ways at this project, there is also a built- in advantage for the younger set. The new bas- ketball hoops will be adjustable to allow the youth a chance to shoot for nothing but net. Another reminder that spring is on the way is the fact that so many of the area hockey teams are in playoffs. But, before the winter is over, the Wawanosh Winter Warriors braved the frigid tem- peratures to leam snowshoeing. This is certainly an area that supports being active. For those adventurers in the crowd, we can all be proud that Bruce County has won awards for 2 of their programs. The Explore the Bruce Adventure Passport program is a recipient as well as the Spruce the Bruce program for their marketing strategies in Branding Packages. Tour- ism is alive and well in Bruce County with these programs to help spur it along. On the creative and artistic side of things, the Legion Public Speaking contest has gleaned a new set of winners. Congratulations to those who won at their school level, then moved on to the District levels. For those who are more into the visual arts, the Goderich Gallery is inviting area artists of all levels and using any medium to enter their creations in the gallery, either for show or sale, in the month of April. Country music lovers will be excited to learn who will be performing at this years' Lucknow's Music in the Fields. Whether you are looking forward, back or just enjoying today, you are in the right place. Reminder: For those who would like to submit articles, recipes, photos or other content for inclusion in the Spring Farm Progress supplement, please have your submission in to lucknow.editorial@sunmedia. ca during the first week of March. Thank you for being a part of this project of the Lucknow Sentinel. It will be included in the Sun Media newspapers in Lucknow, Kincardine, Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth and Grand Bend. Watch for it at the end of March. Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Happy 90th birthday to Marg Finlay, con- gratulations Marg, we wish you many more. Last Wednesday, known as Ash Wednesday, a number of people from St. Peter's Anglican Church gathered together at Rivervalley Apartments for an Ash Wednesday service led by Rev. Perry Chu- ipka. Some of the former St Peter's congre- gation are planning to get together once a month for a service to take place in the homes of different members. Recently, the Lucknow Sepoy Ranees travelled to Kincardine for a Valentine's and Chinese NewYear's Luncheon. Those of us who were able to attend enjoyed our- selves greatly. So a late kung hei fat choi for 2015, the year of the goat or sheep. What did you do for family day? I didn't plan to do anything special, but was going to do some laundry when the hydro went out. At our apartment building, we had half hydro, which was quite weird. I had lights but no stove or heat, my neighbour had lights, heat and stove, but no fridge, fortunately, the hydro came back on in time to get supper ready. Coming up in May is a special 100th anniversary celebration. Whose you ask? Well, 2015 is the 100th anniversary of the National Canadian Girls In Training Asso- ciation. It began during WW1 as a way to involve teenage girls in the war effort. The movement became so popular, that it con- tinued after the war. Although there aren't many involved in CGIT today, being around for 100 years is a big deal and it has been decided to hold a big celebration at Crieff Hills at the end of May for CGITers from Ontario. There will probably be many other such celebrations happening across the country at some time this year. If you were ever involved and want to be involved again, give us a call. Sympathy of the community to the fam- ilies of: Rev. Louise Duncan, Church of Scotland Minister, in Scotland, UK, niece of Pat and Aubrey Weir, Lucknow; Sirkha Korpinen, 97, Lurgan Beach; and, Gordon Schultz, 86, Dungannon. Dungannon & St. Helen's News Shag Campbell On February 12 there were 8 hardy sen- iors out for coffee at the Seniors Centre but the aftemoon onlysaw5 out for euchre. Joe Psutkawas the winner with 52 points. February 14 was not only Valentine's Day but also Hockey Day in Canada. There were a lot of high winds and drifting snow with many area roads closed and cars and trucks off the road. Visibility was nil at times. I know. We were among those who were out and about. Driving by Braille is no fun. The Lucknow Line was closed from Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning because of an accident just north of Dungannon. First time in many years that this road was closed. Provincial holiday, Feb 16, Family Day, in Ontario saw many families getting together for fun and games. Lots of snowmobiling. Didyou getyourpancakes and sausages on Shrove Tuesday? Some churches held pancake suppers so no excuse not to enjoy this great feast with maple syrup. The Nivens girls were in a broomball tournaments in Barrie this past weekend. The Palmerston Terminators brought home the Bronze. Caneace Nivens plays for this team. Good going girls. A little birdie named Wes told me that Dwayne, Wes and Calvin Rivett spent a few days in Las Vegas. No report on whether they won or lost Hope it was a win. There will be Euchre and Darts at the Dungannon Agricultural Hall on the 28th of February and Bingo on the 27th. On Friday the 13th Community Living held their Central Huron 27th Annual Heartwarming Luncheon with deliveries of lunches, made to some folks in the Dungannon area. Thank you to all those great folks.
