What are some of those tough questions that people
continue to struggle with as Christians?
A new Bible Study offered at Knox Presbyterian
Church will explore the topics that people struggle
with as they try to be faithful Christians in the 21 st
Century.
This five-week study entitled, "Pondering the Difficult
Questions" got off to a great start last week. The
second session will be held on Apr. 22. The two-
hour sessions begin at 9:30 a.m. Members of the
congregations from the village churches as well as
those in the community are invited to take part.
The Women of Knox have been completing a study
called "Staying Rooted in an Uprooted World". The
study examines the realities that refugees face when
they become uprooted for various reasons in their
homeland and seek a new home here in Canada.
Further to this study, on Apr. 25, Margaret Douglas
from Knox Presbyterian Church in Woodstock will be
the guest speaker at Knox, Bayfield's 11 a.m.

"There are exhibitors from all over Ontario trying to get in but we like to stress local Huron
County people," said Charles Kalbfleisch, chair of the Bayfield Lions' Club Home and Garden
Show Committee, when speaking of the show's organization.
The Bayfield Lions' Club's Home and Garden Show, now in its 13th year, boasts 70 exhibitors
and the only time the Huron County mandate is relaxed is if the product the exhibitor is
specializing in can't be obtained in the local area.
The show will be held Apr. 23-25 at the Bayfield Arena and Community Centre.
"I feel we have some of the best landscapers in Huron County taking part in our show," said
Kalbfleisch, with five landscapers scheduled to display their work.
The show also features interior decorators, renovation specialists, hot tub and pool dealers,
and a cross section of household necessities from furnishings to lawn mowers.
There is no admission fee and those who attend and fill out a ballot will have a chance at two
great door prizes. Bayfield Foodland has generously donated a $400 food voucher and the
Bayfield Garage a Broil King Gas Barbecue.
For those who work up an appetite touring the exhibits a lunch counter is provided upstairs
featuring home style cooking and pies.
According to Kalbfleisch, the show is the Bayfield Lions' Club's major fundraiser of the year.
"Each year we budget to put $10,000 back into the community with our projects and causes,
we have a list of things we're involved in, for example, we pledged to raise $10,000 toward the
CT Scanner for Huron County campaign," he said.
The show hours are Friday, 5-9 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m
SUPPORTERS SHOW CONCERN FOR
CAMP KLAHANTE
Approx. 40 people were on hand to greet the consultant hired by Girl Guides of Ontario to
begin the closing process of 17 Ontario Girl Guide Camps on Apr. 15, when she arrived to tour
Camp Klahanie.
The current membership of Girl Guides in both Goderich and Bayfield are opposed to the
closure and sale of the property feeling it will be detrimental to the future of Guiding in their
communities.
Singing favorite camp songs and holding picket signs, girls, Guiders and parents greeted the consultant hired
to arrange the sale of their local Girl Guide camp, Camp Klahanie, located just South of Goderich. The
consultant toured the camp on the afternoon of Apr. 15. About 30 people attended the demonstration to show
Girl Guides of Ontario that they care about Camp Klahanie and are opposed to its closure and sale. (Photo by
Melody Falconer -Pounder)
Camp Klahanie is a 6 acre Girl Guide Camp located on a shoreline Road in Central Huron
between Bayfield and Goderich off Hwy. 21. The land was donated to the local Guiding units in

experiences sponsoring a refugee family and the
experiences of the family as well.
The Knox, Bayfield family invite anyone with an
interest from the community to join them.

Goderich and Bayfield in 1973 for the cost of $1 by community environmentalist the late John
Hindmarsh. It ran self -sufficiently for over three decades at the local Guiding level with the
support of local community organizations such as the Goderich Lions' Club. Guiding in Ontario
underwent a restructuring in 2007 and control of the camp was taken over by the province. In
the time following, it was decided at the provincial level that due to declining enrolment and
"lack of use" the camp was to be put up for sale with the profits going back to Girl Guides of
Ontario to support the remaining camps. The camp was closed as of Dec. 31, 2009.
The closest Girl Guide camps for use by local groups will now be in Minto, Listowel and
Parkhill, a real impediment for many local girls to enjoy the camp experience.
The show of support during the consultant's visit was tremendous with attendance by current
Guiders, girl members and parents; past Guiders; representation from the Municipality of
Central Huron and the John Hindmarsh Environmental Trust. Both print and television media
were on hand to learn more about the situation.
Members of Central Huron council are currently looking at ways that this camp might be saved
for the municipality as it is the last youth camp available in Central Huron following the loss of
the Boy Scout camp and two church camps in the past 15 years.

A close-up look of the detail on the 1907 Marsh Metz Motorcycle. It took Wolfe a year and a half to restore the
bike to driveable condition.
PHOTOS AND STORIES BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER
Rick Wolfe has 15,000 pieces of Antique Bicycle and Motorcycle Memorabilia in a museum
established in the basement of his home in Komoka, ON. Nearly 30 cycles round out the
collection.
Wolfe was one of the 26 exhibitors at the Bayfield Historical Society's 10th annual Collector's
Exhibition held on Apr. 17-18 at the Bayfield Community Centre.
For Wolfe, it all began 40 years ago when his father started a junk removal business, some of
the items never did get disposed of as Wolfe worked to preserve them.
"Now I buy treasures from all over the world to bring the history back home to Canada," said
Wolfe. "I enjoy sharing history and this heritage with people. Individuals will approach me at
exhibitions and it is so great to watch them when there interest is sparked."
The 1907 Marsh Metz Motorcycle made in Brockton, Massachusetts that Wolfe had on exhibit
was a favored conversation piece for visitors to the Bayfield show.
OVER 500 PEOPLE
ATTEND 10TH ANNUAL
EXH MMON
Isaac Elliott -Fisher was five years old when he was
given his first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and from
there the collecting bug bit. His love for all things
"Turtles" and his education in film -making have
recently been combined to create a documentary
film which sprouted from the 25th anniversary of
the franchise in 2009. The film began as a look at
the fan phenomenon but evolved into a semi-official
history of the Turtles. With all the necessary people
backing the project, he hopes that it will be released
in tandem with the next Turtles' film.
It is estimated that over 500 people attended the
10th annual Bayfield Historical Society's
Collectors Exhibition held at the Bayfield
Community Centre on Apr. 17-18.
Twenty-six exhibitors offered displays of their
collections at the show with everything from
Viewmasters and Stereoscopes to grinders and
juicers being shared.
In addition to displays by individuals, groups took
part as well, The Bayfield Historical Society
featured the Helen MacLeod II; the Huron County
Museum's display was entitled, "Working with
Wood"; and the Bayfield Sunshine Coast Quilters
Guild exhibited a display of Care Quilts.
A highlight of the weekend is always the silent
auction that runs over the course of the event.
This year 114 certificates and prizes were
available to bid on.
According to Dave Gillians, president of the
Bayfield Historical Society, "The final financial
numbers haven't been tallied but this year's silent
auction was one of the best we've ever had in the
10 year history of the event. We can't thank our
supporting merchants and "friends of the historical
society" enough for their support.
"We are delighted with the number of people who
support this show every year and some of the
winning bids for the auction came from Michigan
and other visitors from outside this area. This is
really important for us because the historical
society deliberately hosts this show during a slow
period for area merchants so that we can attract
more potential customers for them. This show is a
win-win venture. The merchants support us and
we host another off season attraction to help
boost their traffic."

Week 17 Issue 42
Rick Wolfe, of Komoka, brought a sampling of the 15,000 pieces of Antique Cycles and Memorabilia he has in
his collection. This 1907 Marsh Metz Motorcycle made in Brockton, Massachusetts was a favored conversation
piece for visitors to the show.
Wolfe explained in fine detail how this bike would be primed, started and fiddled with until it was
running smoothly. The cycle could reach speeds of 35 miles per hour.
"It was a great advantage for 1907 as it was faster than a horse," said Wolfe. "It was a wealthy
man's bike. It would have cost $300 to purchase."
Tim Saunders, of Three Squirrel
Antiques, appraised the treasures
people brought to the event for a
donation to the historial society.
Approx. 500 people toured through the displays at
the 10th annual Bayfield Historical Society's Collector
Exhibition. They were treated to 26 displays including
the Toronto Maple Leaf Memorabilia collection owned
by Dyan Hanly.
Half of the net proceeds of the Collector Exhibition
go to assisting with the operating costs of the
Bayfield Archives Room and its programs such
as, publishing more Bayfield historical materials.
The other half goes into the Helen MacLeod II
fund to help pay for the costs of rebuilding this
historic old boat.

Burgin of Kirkton. Looking on are fellow exhibitors,

Rick Wolfe, poses with a piece from his Antique Cycles and Memorabilia
Collection. This Truing Stand from 1897 was once used in a bicycle repair
shop.
The Marsh Metz proved to be one of Wolfe's quicker restorations taking only a year and half to
complete. It was finished in 1986. He is adamant about not trying to restore a cycle until he has
all the authentic literature and information on it.
"I've got to be able to get them running and I need to know the fundamental operating and
starting procedures for the machine," he said. "Research is a big part of it; you have to
understand what you're dealing with. Collecting the literature on the bikes is all a part of the
preservation."
Wolfe has taken the Marsh Metz for a spin but for regular street riding his personal bike is a
1935 Harley.
"It is the oldest, restored and licensed Harley in Ontario," he said.
Along with the cycles on display at the show, Wolfe brought memorabilia with an affiliation to
Huron County including, a photo, receipt and letters from the Henderson Bicycle Co. which was
manufactured in Goderich in the late 1800s.
"I don't think the Goderich company was in business very long, maybe five to eight years, but
I'm still looking into it. I recently got some letters that reference the company.
"In 1907 there were 265 producers of cycles but many just didn't progress industrially and by the
1930s there were four American motorcycle producers," he said.
According to Wolfe, cyclists were a huge part of the Good Roads Movement and the forebears
to the Canadian Automobile Association; reasons that make it essential not to forget the past.

SUBMISSIONS
You can plan your day but often your day has other plans. Such was the case for me last Thursday, Apr. 15. It was a date on
the calendar I wasn't particularly looking forward to, the day the camp consultant hired by Girl Guides of Ontario was coming to
tour our local Camp Klahanie in preparation for its disposition and sale.
In the time the closing was announced (Nov. 23, 2009) and Apr. 15, 1 have struggled with the fact that Ontario Council had
deemed our camp no longer sustainable and that despite our letters and telephone calls of concern they remained resolved to
close it. Well, Apr. 15 really didn't change their resolve but it reaffirmed mine.
We teach our girls in Guiding to stand up for what they believe in so as one of their Guiders I am determined to set a good
example — to do my best and be true to myself.
On Apr. 15, concerned citizens, past and current Guiders, girls in full uniform, parents, representatives from both the Municipality of Central Huron and the
John Hindmarsh Environmental Trust came out to support Camp Klahanie. We shared our commitment to a little seven acre property that was born out of
a desire to provide a place for women and girls to develop skills, self-esteem and a love for nature nearly four decades ago.
I was interviewed by local radio stations, television and newspapers — I told their story — our story - our community listened and many are now resolved to
help us in our plight. And for that reason I will continue to take action for a better world and respect the Guiding Law even when the organization I believe
so strongly in gets it wrong. - Melody
