Canaa'a Aocna Member of the Canadian Community NewspaperAssociation and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies October is a mixed bag The month of Octo- ber has certainly been a mixed bag in many ways. Weatherwise, we have seen tempera- tures from summer warm to winter freezing and everything in between. There has been a lot of rain and now, even some early snow. A traditional mix was the Madill Commence- ment happening on the Thanksgiving weekend to allow graduates and their guests the opportunity to return to the area to cele- brate their achievement. Congratulations to all grads and particularly to those who earned awards and bursaries. Adding to the mix is the report from Erin Gilchrist on her summer intern- ship to Kenya. Through the generous support of those in Lucknow and area there are two com- munities who now have better and safer access to clean drinking water. With the early snow, the OPP are reminding every- one to get their vehicles ready for winter and to think of the winter safe driving tips. They are also reminding all to wear their seatbelts and to lock up their vehicles and remove the keys when they are not operating the vehicles to help prevent auto theft. The Huron County Health Unit has created a Transportation Workbook to help communities become more active. They have also announced the new location for the Wingham office. One of their Health Inspectors has submitted a letter to the editor concerning the issues he has experienced due to people trying to help out feral cats. Public Information Meetings were held in the communities of Chesley, Ripley and Kincardine to update the public on the ongoing push to bring natural gas to the Town- ships of Huron -Kinloss, Kincardine and Arran Elderslie. Reports have been published in this edition on the Chesley and Ripley meetings. Nine ladies were awarded pins for mem- bers over 85 years of age at the CGIT 100th Anni- versary celebration held in Lucknow. More cover- age of the celebration will appear in a future edition of the Sentinel. With Halloween approaching, the Ontario SPCA is giving tips on how to keep your pets safe while celebrating. Itis a sure sign that the seasons are marching on when the hockey reports begin to come in. Thankyou to those who submit these and other sports results.

Joan Murray opened the meet- ing with the Opening Ode and Mary Stewart Collect. After grace was sung, a fabulous lunch of cheese and crackers, huge fruit tray and drinks were served by Gladys, Eleanor Kraemer and Sha- ron MacDougall and also a deli- cious cake with ice cream made by guest speaker, Anne Mann, which was made with special gluten-free ingredients. Alice Ritchie introduced Anne Mann who spoke on being celiac intolerant, which she explained is quite difficult to diagnose espe- cially in children, for whom it could be life threatening. Anne brought a whole basket of prod- ucts and had us all looking at the labels of ingredients to see which ones contained gluten. Foods containing ingredients such as wheat, rye, barley and triticale plus many others that are hidden and not easily recognized could make a person with celiac very ill. Mary Ellen Farrish thanked Anne for such an informative presentation of celiac disease and on gluten-free diets. Alice Ritchie read the scripture and the minutes were given by Elma Jean Haldenby. Gladys Johnston had the finan- cial report and Elma Jean lead the discussion on any correspondence. The Roll Call, "What have you learned today that you didn't know before", was answered by 11 members and one guest. Irene Haldenby read a report written by Andrea Feeley on the Grey Bruce Area Convention held on October 1 at Chepstow. Alice Ritchie had a contest of ten little bags of different flours, starches, etc for us to guess what they were. Mary Ellen had an informative reading and Irene Haldenby thanked all for a very informative meeting and it closed with "0 Canada': Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Canadian Girls in Training alumnae held a very special 100th anniversary party at Luc - know United Church last Satur- day. Many former leaders and members attended and shared their precious memories of CGIT. We spent a great afternoon reconnecting with old friends over tea and cake after a wonder- ful service of worship and thanksgiving. Happy 40th anniversary and many happy returns to Pat and Aubrey Weir, and Joy and Louis Jurjens. A strange thing happened in a church in Ohio last week, the congregation heard that a young mother of one who delivered piz- zas for the local pizzaria was about to be evicted as she couldn't afford to pay her rent. That wonderful church family ordered a pizza during the ser- vice and when she delivered it, they gave her a tip of $1,040, the entire offering they had taken that morning. What a great example to us all. Something very weird hap- pened at the apartment building where I live on Walter Street recently. One of the tenants went out leaving a pot on the stove with the burner on. After awhile, the pot started burning setting off the smoke alarm in his apartment. Many tenants exited the building and one tenant called 911 as smoke was filling the halls and then the fire alarm for the whole building went off. The tenant on the phone to 911 was having a lot of trouble getting through to the fire department. After about 10 minutes, I went back into my apartment, got my cellphone and called 911, the person I got asked what fire department I wanted, I said Lucknow, got through, gave the info needed and hung up, the fire department came in about three minutes; the other tenant was still on the phone. Appar- ently, now our 911 call centre is in Tillsonburg instead of Owen Sound, so when you call for the fire department, don't waste time, just ask for the Lucknow or Ripley or Teeswater or whichever fire department is your fire depart- ment and then give them the info they require. You'll have them there in a few minutes and won't be shuttled around from exten- sion to extension forever. By the way, the only damage was a ruined pot and a lot of smoke. Sympathy of the community to the families of: Ian Cox, 48, Basing- stoke, England (nephew of Pat & Aubrey Weir); Hilda Lane, 96, Lon- don (formerly Lucknow); and David Needham, 73, Kincardine.
