BAYFIELD GUIDING
Recent reports have indicated that the Clinton
Salvation Army Food Bank (CSAFB) alone helps
1,500 people a week. As the community is aware, on
Jan. 12, the CSAFB was destroyed by a devastating
fire.
The 1st Bayfield Pathfinders are organizing "Dance,
Dance Resolution — Resolve to Fight Hunger', to
raise money and food donations for this local food
bank. This chaperoned dance is set for March 12
from 7 to 10 p.m. and will be open to pre -teens in
Grades 6 to 8. It will be held at the Bayfield
Community Centre. Admission will be $5 a person
and a minimum of two non-perishable food items.
This fundraiser will also be part of the Girl Guides of
Canada (GGC) Feed the Hungry Centenary Project.
As Pathfinders they are challenged by GGC to collect
50 KG (110 lbs) of food for their community food
banks. This event will also help the girls complete
challenges in the leadership portion of their program.
Even if you aren't a youth in Grade 6 to 8 and can't
join in the dancing fun you are still welcome to

The wheels on T.H.E. Bus go round and round Huron County each week making stops in a
total of 18 communities, lending toys for homes everywhere.
According to Melissa Wormington, Family Support/Education Worker and also T.H.E Bus
driver, there are 70 -plus active memberships in the program.
"I travel from one end of the county to the other on a two week rotation. The program is used
by daycares, both town and home. Plus individual families also take advantage of what T.H.E
Bus has to offer," said Wormington.
T.H.E. Bus is supported by Rural Response for Healthy Children and funded by the Public
Health Agency of Canada.
T.H.E. Bus is very well stocked with board games, puzzles, infant and toddler toys, cognitive
materials, flash cards, videos, DVDs and some books. There is even a bin of trucks, three giant
roller coaters ready for assembling, a toy work bench and a beauty shop. Although geared for
youngsters aged newborn to six years of age there are games and materials available for
children aged seven to 12 years as well.
Parents can also benefit from a membership to the program as resource materials are
available to them dealing with all kinds of parenting issues. And if a parent fails to see a topic
of interest on the bus all they need do is ask, as over 1,000 titles are in stock at the Rural
Response for Healthy Children office in Clinton.
Memberships to T.H.E. Bus are available for one year at $20. Seasonal memberships are
offered for $10. These limited time memberships are great for summer cottagers or
grandparents expecting children for an extended visit. Daycares may sign up for $50 for the
year and they can take advantage of Theme Kits that are also available — Canada, Outer
Space, Nutrition and Wild Animals - are just a few of the titles offered in these kits filled with a
variety of items and activities that deal with a specific topic.

Bus to the village every other Wednesday afternoon. Her next visit will be March 17. (Melody Falconer -

Anyone wishing to borrow from T.H.E. Bus is asked to fill out a registration form with their
name, address and telephone number. Families are allowed to take out five items every two
weeks while Daycares can borrow up to 15 items. The only stipulations are that the items must
be returned at one of the county locations clean and complete.
"It is our sign-up policy that toys are brought back sanitized but we always suggest that the
receiving parent ensure it is clean before they give it to their child. The onus is on the parent in
this regard but we do try and check them over to ensure that they are clean and in good
condition before loaning them out again as well," said Wormington.
OPTIMIST CLUB
The Bayfield Optimist Club will be holding its annual
Chili Cook -off on March 14, at the Bayfield
Community Centre.
The event will run from 1-4 p.m. Both individuals and
local restaurants are encouraged to enter their chili
for a chance to win the coveted People's Choice
Award. Entries will be accepted in crock pots from
12:30 to 1 p.m.
Public skating will be offered from 1-3 p.m.
Upstairs from 2-4 p.m. the Optimists will host a
Family Fun Day providing hot dogs and ice-cream
sundaes as well as face painting, children's crafts
and the unpredictable antics of a couple of clowns.
This is just one of the fun events organized by the
Optimists of Bayfield throughout the year to show
their thanks to the community for their ongoing
support.
ANGLICAN
It is a Lenten tradition at Trinity Anglican Church to
join in fellowship over a hearty bowl of soup while

The Grade 3 and 4 students at St. Boniface School have been getting better acquainted with
the works of Theodor Seuss Geisel over the past two months.
Green ham was on the menu for Dustin Rau, Bradley Meidinger and Nathan Paulger. They, and their
classmates, also tried Cat in the Hat cookies and bread. (Submitted photo)
Of course this acclaimed children's author is better known as Dr. Seuss.
St. Boniface School's librarian, Diane Ryan, has introduced students to stories written by Dr.
Seuss each week during their library visit. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to celebrate the
birthday (March 2, 1904) of the late author at the conclusion of the class' study of his books. A
party in true Seuss spirit was organized. The class' menu included green ham, Cat in the Hat
cookies and bread, representative of "The Butter Battle Book.'
"Every minister will have their own way of leading this
time of scripture reading, reflection and prayer but in
past years those who attended found this a
wonderful time to prepare themselves for Holy Week
and Easter," said Moore.
Last year there was an average attendance of 27-30
people.
The schedule of Lenten Services will be as
follows: St. Andrew's United, March 10; Knox
Presbyterian, March 17 and 24.
The services will be 30 minutes in length and will be
followed by lunch and fellowship.
BRIDGE CLUB
Alice Brandon and John Kuntz were the high

Dr. Seuss wrote 47 books. Some of his more popular stories included, "Green Eggs and Ham",
"The Places You'll Go" and "Horton Hears a Who". While Dr. Seuss is remembered as a A later start time is being tried for this season and the

BAYFIELD RESIDENT GEORDIE PALMER TAKES HOME THE
GOLD IN GROCERY SHOPPING
PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
Geordie Palmer felt like he'd earned a gold
medal on the morning of March 3. What was
his self-proclaimed Olympic event? He called
it the "Olympic -Bayfield Foodland Two Minute
Dash of Hope."
Palmer was the first of two winners of a two
minute shopping spree worth $500 at Bayfield
Foodland, all part of a contest called the
"Great Grocery Giveaway" where customers
have a chance at winning some exciting
prizes. The contest is being held from now
until March. 18.
Palmer commented that he was very surprised to
have won the spree.

Geordie Palmer awaits the signal to begin his two -minute shopping spree at Bayfield Foodland. Palmer looked at
the spree as an Olympic event and even oiled the wheels on his cart prior to the start.
Geordie Palmer had mapped out his path through the store being sure to hit the cleaning products aisle near the
start.
afternoon I put one coupon in the box and got the
call on Friday that I had won. So it just proves you
really only need one to win," said Palmer.
According to store owner, Marty Maidment, the
box had "about a foot' of tickets in it at the time of
the draw.
Flush after his sprint around the store and with his
tallied receipt of $500.14 in hand Palmer offered
some advice to future winners.
"Have a game plan. Go though the aisles of the
store and acquaint yourself with them. Go home
and check your cupboards, check your utility room
for cleaning and laundry products so you know
what you use and need. It is important to map it
out and know exactly what you want to get," said
Palmer.
True to his words, Palmer had created a color
coded chart to keep in his cart to guide him
when time was running out.
Bayfield Foodland customers still have time to win
as there is a second two -minute shopping spree
to be drawn for on March 19. Customers receive
a ballot for shopping at the store. In addition to
the in-store sprees there are six $50.00 gift cards
available to be won at each Foodland store.
There is also a chance to win one of three prizes
of groceries for a year in the grand prize draw
which includes all Foodland stores in Ontario.
There is also an online contest for groceries for a
year for five lucky winners in the Foodland chain.
Geordie Palmer finished the spree at the dairy products -
throwing family favorite cheeses in his cart.

I'm waiting. It won't be long now. All the tell-tale signs are beginning to show. The sun stays up past six o'clock in the evening.
Friends and family are returning from south of the border. The Maple sap is starting to run and the Schilbe's are boiling it down for
syrup. I walked straight out of the house in my indoor shoes this past weekend... suddenly forgetting the need for my winter boots.
Yes, these are all harbingers of my favorite season... Spring!
But I'm still waiting for the surest sign of all ... the arrival of Patrick and Patricia. The two Canadian Geese that like to leisure on our
lawn until the traffic of the high season forces them to move to a quieter destination. They have been our regular guests for over
12 years now and I know when I see them floating on our sea of green that Spring is here to stay.
And for those of you who prefer the more scientifically proven formula for forecasting the arrival of the season... the calendar (Girl Guides Centenary
version) shows that the Spring Equinox will arrive on March 20. That is just ten more days away - but who's counting?
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome. Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m. Please email me at bayfeld.breeze@villageofbayfield.com or call
