The question is directed to Michael Ibrahim, owner of 80th birthday this year, or recently moved the business.

It is no doubt one of the many reasons he was recently presented with the Commitment to Care and Service Award, Rookie of the ANGLICAN CHURCH Year.

When they showed a little clip about our pharmacy here in Bayfield it got everyone asking the question, `Where is Bayfield? "' Michael's award was presented by Nadine Saby, president and CEO of the Canadian Association of Chain Drug Stores. This award recognizes a new pharmacy owner, in the role for two years or less, who has shown evidence of successfully building the pharmacy business. In the program handed out that evening the following was written: "With a customer base of 1,100 residents, almost half of whom are summer cottagers, Michael knew that a new pharmacy would have to elicit its share of repeat customers. So when he opened Michael's Pharmasave he solicited customer input on what products and services people wanted. "In the first year, sales exceeded Michael's five year sales forecast and in the second year growth jumped 28 per cent over year one. While dispensary is most important to the business, the pharmacy has also experienced success in the front shop, with growth of more than 22 per cent in year two over year one." One of the highlights of the awards experience for Michael was being invited to a round -table discussion group earlier in the day. His round table focused on environmental issues. Discussion included ways in which pharmacies can go green; from safe medical disposal practices to the use of biodegradable shopping bags. "One of our practices here is to always ask the customer if they need a bag for their purchase and 11 out of 12 people will say no, so that has really cut back on use," he said. He also wanted to make the public aware that the local pharmacy provides free disposal of unused or expired medication. Sharps can be disposed of at the store as well, if they are returned in the proper container; these containers can also be obtained free of charge from the store. Michael was nominated for Rookie of the Year back in August for his business which was opened in July of 2007. He found the nomination to be "very humbling". Customers wrote in support of Michael earning the award and he stated the response was "overwhelming". donations of hot chocolate, marshmallows, candy canes, small containers of body gel, soap, tooth paste and combs and brushes to brighten the recipients' holiday.

" "And of course, my wife, Nadine, who works more than anybody else in the place," he said. Michael chose to set up business in Bayfield because he was looking for an environment in which he could deliver only pharmacy service. "I wanted to maximize my potential and practice pharmacy," he said. "Pharmasave offers different formats, one of which was a health centre format and that is what we chose to follow."

The cost is 12 years and up, $5; five to 11 years, $3; five and under free. Once the store was established, Michael noted that his customers would often come in and share their wishes for a medical clinic in the village. He listened. He worked with the landlord and the neighboring Remax business. They agreed to move to a different unit in the plaza so the Lighthouse Medical Clinic could be opened right next door to the pharmacy. Currently there is a dermatologist, a doctor specializing in thyroid type issues and a family doctor who regularly attend the clinic. Also on Wednesdays, doctors from Goderich take turns at the clinic as their schedules allow. The pharmacy also uses the space offering in-store clinics. For example, a Diabetes Clinic is scheduled for Dec. 18 and bi-weekly foot clinics are held. In the future, Michael hopes to provide nutrition counseling and weight and blood sugar management opportunities. He hopes to widen services to include a more holistic approach to health care. "We just need a few more hours in the day to do lots of these other things, he said. Michael is also committed to life long learning and the pharmacy is a teaching site for the University of Toronto's Faculty of Pharmacy. They participate in the university's Structured Practical Experience Program. It is a fourth year component of the Faculty's Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy degree in which students are required to successfully complete sixteen weeks of rotations - usually eight weeks in two different pharmacy practice sites, one community and one institutional. "These students really keep us on their toes - they are on fire," he said. He is looking forward to having a Pharmacist Intern working at the store in the Spring. "The first year we were in Canada we were expecting our first child and I had to write seven different exams in such areas as equivalency, law and English. It was a tough year but things brightened up after that. " There will also be an opportunity for guests to have their picture taken with Santa. The profits from the photos purchased go back to the club to support youth projects. At the conclusion of the breakfast Santa will draw the winning ticket for the club's toy chest raffle. The winner will receive a handmade chest filled to overflowing with toys for all ages. Toy chest tickets are $2 each or three for $5.

CHRISTMAS BUREAU A simple holiday wish is that every child will have a gift under the tree this Christmas. This is a wish that the Huron County Christmas Bureau hopes to grant. The Bureau is a county -wide volunteer group that organizes five gift centres for disadvantaged families. Toys, clothes, food and food vouchers are donated or purchased with cash donations (for which donors will be issued a tax receipt). Hundreds of volunteers and donors participate each year and play Santa for cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfiieldBreezeWeek5Olssue23/tabid/268/Default.aspx 4/11 5/27/2019 Bayfield Breeze - Week 50 Issue 23 Le Bleu, Quebec's only Class 40 sailboat. (Submitted photo) Peter joined Eric Tarbardel, Benjaman Wadham and Jean -Maurice Dupuis on board the sailing vessel, Le Bleu. It is Quebec's only Class 40 sailboat and was constructed by Tarbardel in Montreal. According to the website set up to follow the construction of the boat and its travels, this class of boat is becoming increasingly important in the world of running water and has attracted many professional skippers and amateurs around the world. It is more economical and environmentally friendly because it prohibits the use of more expensive fibers in the manufacture of the hull and sails. The number of sails is limited to eight, including, troumentin veil and cape. In addition, the interior must be a minimum of four berths. GPS coordinates on a Google Map show Le Bleu's daily progress in crossing the Atlantic. Since joining Le Blue, Peter has sailed from the Azores to Madeira and then on to Gomera in the Canary Islands, off the west coast of Mauritania in North West Africa. up to a thousand children and their families. An independent organization, the bureau could not function without the support of the Huron -Perth Children's Aid Society. They provide the bureau with office space, phone lines and administrative assistance. Community churches and caring residents also make the program possible. The gift centres are located in churches in five communities in Huron County and volunteers from these churches and the community at large donate many hours collecting, sorting, organizing and displaying the gifts. Towns and villages throughout the county have drop boxes available where donations can be deposited. This year the gift centres can be found in: Clinton, Clinton United Church; Exeter, Christian Reformed Church; Goderich, North Street United Church; Seaforth, St. James Roman Catholic Church, at the Agriplex; and Wingham, Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church. Gifts can be delivered to any one of the churches listed above or left in drop boxes placed in local stores between Dec. 7 and 11. The reality in these tough economic times is the fact that the Huron County Christmas Bureau may have former donors who will be recipients this year. For those who find themselves in need of help to make Christmas a bright one for their families, they are asked to call Christmas Central at 519 524-7356 Ext. 3271 from now until Dec. 11. Callers should be ready with the ages and sizes of their children. They will be given an appointment for the week of Dec. 14 to 18 at their closest Bureau. Then they will be able to visit and privately choose suitable gifts for their family at that time. GIRL GUIDES Need a gift for the mail delivery person, babysitter, or dog walker? Chocolatey Mint Girl Guide Cookies or a Centenary Celebration Calendar would make the perfect gift. There are a limited number of boxes left from Bayfield Guiding's stock of Chocolatey Mint Girl Guide Cookies These few cartons are selling for $4 a box from members of Bayfield Guiding or the Bayfield Village Inn. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfieldBreezeWeek50lssue23/tabid/268/Default.aspx 5/11 5/27/2019 Bayfield Breeze - Week 50 Issue 23 The view as seen from Le Bleu.

I can't remember a time when he wasn't my pharmacist and I was so pleased when he made the move to the village. I experienced Michael's commitment to care and service first hand in 2005 when I had the misfortune to shatter my left ulna — in layman's terms: my elbow. Suddenly, my prescription drug use went from infrequent and rather regular to quite exceptional and varied. I will always remember one of my first forays out into the world after the accident; it was a trip to the pharmacy. When Michael learned I was at the counter he popped out of his office with a greeting of "My dear, what did you dol' A simple question perhaps but it was the concern and caring in his voice which made if unforgettable. Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome. Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m. Please email me at bayfield.breeze@villageofbayfield.com or call 519-565-2443.
