Canada Aocna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association Val's Views Valerie Gillies Supporting a better quality of life This week's edition of the Lucknow Sentinel is filled with all sorts of things that are directly related to supporting a better qual- ity of life for those in the readership area. Lucknow's Music in the Fields has come and gone for 2015, but the benefits to those in the community and beyond are ongoing. This is the Kinsmen's largest fundraiser of the year. All proceeds go back directly into the many ser- vices and causes that the Kinsmen help to sup- port. An amazing accomplishment this past summer was the refurbishing of Victoria park with the new volleyball, basketball and pickle ball courts with all the trimmings. The Kins- men are already reaching out to find new ways to contribute to those whom they strive to serve. Seniors Connect is back on track through the Bruce Community Futures Development Corpora- tion. This is an excellent way for communitymem- bers, businesses, service providers and seniors with current or ongoing needs to participate in address- ing local issues affecting, or will become an issue in the future, for those who are 55 years of age and older. This is a program that is geared directly to helping communities identify their own local issues and networking within the municipality, as well as broadening out to network across the Bruce CFDC catchment area to come up with home-grown solu- tions. Of note, the Lucknow Kinsmen have led the way as a service group by having a representative attend the Ripley presentation specifically to ask how they can help serve the seniors in the munici- pality. The rep asked specifically if a list of needs be developed and compared against a list of services already available in order for the Kinsmen to help with filling in some of the gaps in services and projects. The OPP have submitted the newest Safety Laws that came into effect for drivers. They also caution parents to teach their children to travel to and from school safely this year, no matter what means they use to commute. Another group that has been recruiting to help quality of life is Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce. They were giving out information and answering questions during Music in the Fields. This is another opportunity for John Q. Public to make a difference. Keep watching the Sentinel for information on upcoming events such as those offered by the Bruce County Library and HAWK Theatre. If you have information or photos (in .jpg format) of an event or an amazing project by an organiza- tion, please share them with the readers of the Sen- tinel.

Purple Grove News Purple Grove WI After a damp and rainy week weather wise a week ago, the weekend turned out just fine for folks attending various events in the community. Let's hope we get some more harvest weather with that beautiful big full moon and sunny days this week! Carman and Cheryl Bridge recently visited Viola Bridge at her home in Kincardine and also with Courtney, Cassan- dra and Corbin Bridge. Cheryl and Car- man enjoyed a visit with their grandson Gavin on the weekend. Cheryl also visited her mother Audrey Rivett of Dungan- non and sister Diana Ellis of Auburn. Mary Anne Kukoly enjoyed a visit with her cousin Betty and Ken Morrison of Huntsville last weekend. While there they took a boat cruise around Georgian Bay and the 30,000 Islands out of Parry Sound. Some of the Pol- lock family and Mary Anne were pleased to attend the wedding of Lisa Hutchinson and John Wong in Toronto on Friday, August 28. The donors and vol- unteers from the Wom- en's House serving Bruce and Grey had a nice evening and meal at Rotary Park in Kincar- dine on Thursday, 27. On Friday, Janet Nixon,JanetRhody, Mari- lyn Reid and Fran Farrell visited the Bruce County Museum at Southamp- ton and welcomed visi- tors to the log house and schoolhouse both built around 1855 and 1875. The Log House orginally came from Kin- loss township near Holy - rood and was built by Donald MacKenzie. He and his wife Margaret raised a family of nine children in this house. In 1958, Bruce County Women's Institute bought the house and had it moved to the museum. The School- house SS 10 Amabel was also called the Richard- son School and Maple Lucknow News Ruth Dobrensky Boy, the old town sure seems quiet without all the Music in the Fields fans around. But of course, it gave us a chance to take a breath before school started yes- terday and before our wonderful fall fair in a couple of weeks. In regard to the start- ing of school, remember to drive more carefully with all the little ones out there. They don't always remember to be careful so we drivers have to be extra alert when going about our business. It seems that the fall fair committee people are try- ing to get more partici- pants in the fall fair parade this year. If you have the inclination or a group that can put together a float or just walk in the parade, you and your group/fam- ily could be the ones to make our parade a great one. It was with great interest that I read about the Grand Opening of St. Joseph's Community Kingsbridge Centre. I wasn't able to attend, but from what I've heard and read it was a great success and there is going to be a show this weekend that looks to be a good start for the Centre. Congratulations and best wishes for a great future. I also read about the lit- eracy kit for babies, I'm all for getting children to read, and, the sooner the better. Not only do good reading habits help them in school, but it's agreatwayto spend time and leam something without trying. Last Sunday, some members of the former St. Peter's Anglican congrega- tion travelled to Durham (via Hanover, as we thought that's where we were going) to surprise Joanne Todd at her church. Grove School. The school was purchased as a cen- tennial project by Bruce County's elementary school teachers in 1967. After serving as a school, the building was also used as a family dwelling, a chicken house and finally a slaughter house. We are fortunate that these buildings have been reconstructed and on display for visitors to see and experience early days in our county. Music in the Fields and the Mass Band Con- certs were enjoyed by many. Congratulations to all the organizers and thanks to the many vol- unteers who help out at these events! Nancy and Paul Green- wood and Earl and June Elliott had lunch at John and Joyce Farrell's recently. Family and friends gathered to celebrate Tina Logtenberg and Aaron Rouse's engage- ment at the family farm near Dungannon with a barbecue on Saturday evening, August 29. She was very surprised to see us. She commented that we'd been threatening to visit for five years and that we'd come at a good time. We just happened to hit on a Sunday when her two churches joined together for a special "Praise Service of Music & Song Special guest musi- cians at Trinity, Durham were Chad and Mark who led the music with the fid- dle and keyboard, and boy were they good. We were invited to join the congre- gation after the service for a lovely lunch and get- together. Some of us took a round -about route home through Neustadt (amongst other places) and St. Helen's to view the remains of the disastrous house fire. On arriving home, we received some sad news, in that we are losing our priest Perry Chuipka at the end of October.
