present on Aug. 13 at Bayfield's Pioneer Park to hear a funding announcement made by Ben Lobb, Member of
Parliament for Huron -Bruce (centre). (Submitted photo)
Ben Lobb, Member of Parliament for Huron -Bruce, stood by the bank of Pioneer Park in the
village on the morning of Aug. 13th to announce $40,000 in federal funding to support the
Bayfield North Watershed Enhancement Project implementation.
Lobb made the announcement on behalf of Canada's Environment Minister, the Honorable Jim
Prentice. The money will come from the federal EcoAction Community Funding Program
(EACFP). It will support local action to reduce pollution, improve air and water quality, protect
wildlife and natural habitat. It will also provide education on the importance of water quality and
habitat restoration and residents will be encouraged to implement stewardship projects,
including water quality assessments.
"Work in our local watershed is critical to ensuring the overall goal of protecting and improving
the natural environment," said Hope Brock, Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority Healthy
Watersheds Technician. "With the commitment of landowners and funding support, everyone is
able to take part in and learn about the importance of habitat restoration and water quality
improvements to achieve this goal."
The EACFP is a Government of Canada initiative that supports projects that rehabilitate
protect or enhance the natural environment, and builds the capacity of communities and
individuals in support of a more sustainable nation.
About 50 children have registered to participate in
the Camp Kintail Day Camps held at Knox
Presbyterian Church in Bayfield over the summer.
(Submitted photo)
Both local children and summer visitors can look
forward to the Camp Kintail Day Camps held on
Wednesdays until Aug. 25.
Knox Presbyterian Church in Bayfield has partnered
with Camp Kintail, the area Presbyterian Church
camp, to offer a Christian based Day Camp every
Wednesday at the church this summer.
To date 50 children have registered for the Day
Camps held every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 3:30
p.m.
"The staff counselors from Camp Kintail have gifted
the children who live or are visiting in or nearby our
village with a wonderful program of crafts, swimming
at the lake, nature experiences over in the park,
games, singing and Christian stories and teachings,"
said Rev. Susan Moore, minister at Knox, Bayfield.
"We are also so thankful for all those from our church
community here in Bayfield who volunteered time to
supervise the children and bring and/or serve snacks
and lunch each week."
Next Wednesday marks the last week for children to
enjoy this camping experience. Anyone interested in
taking part should come to the church by 9 a.m. For
further information call the church at 519 565-2913 or
"As part of the International Year of Biodiversity and with the support of the EcoAction Rev. Moore at 519 238-8272.
Community Funding Program, local community groups here in Ontario and across Canada are
taking forward action to improve our environment upon which our culture, economy and society
depend," said MP Lobb. "Each one of us has a role to play. The enhancement of our local
Huron County watersheds is a demonstration of real action that is helping achieve this goal."
"This government is committed to addressing the environmental priorities of Canadians," said
Minister Jim Prentice. "We are proud to support community groups across the country willing to
take concrete action through on -the -ground environmental projects that will achieve a more
sustainable Canada. Your actions, large or small, will help to protect the abundance and variety
of life that is part of our natural heritage."
This funding will assist locally -based, non-profit organizations in initiating actions that result in
cleaner air, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, cleaner water, and the protection of
nature at the local community level.

In Issue 57, someone wrote to say she believes
these folks to be Spencer "Spin" Ervine, Lena Ervine
and the youngster is Mary Elizabeth Ervine. She
commented that everyone was so envious of Mary
Elizabeth because she was the only one in town that
had her own pony.
ISSUE 58
In Issue 58, we featured a gentleman named Billie,
who was photographed with this car in 1953. We are
still wondering if anyone knows his last name?

MAN NOMINATED ASA CNN HERO FOR 2010
HAS A BAYFIELD CONNECTION
Aki Ra, born in Cambodia in 1970, lost both of his parents to the Khmer Rouge regime before he was six years
old. This regime went on to kill nearly two million Cambodians, and it recruited Aki Ra as a child soldier along
the way. First taught to shoot guns at birds for fun, and later instructed to lay anti-tank landmines along jungle
roads, Aki Ra's early life was filled with violence and chaos.

One of the individuals nominated as a CNN Hero
for 2010 has a village connection.
Aki Ra
Aki Ra is helping to make his native Cambodia
safer by clearing land mines; many of which he
planted years ago as a child soldier for the Khmer
Rouge. In the 1970s, Aki Ra, who was raised by
the army after being separated from his family
during the internal conflict, planted an estimated
5,000 mines per month. Two decades later when
the United Nations came in to help restore peace
to Cambodia, Aki Ra saw an opportunity to begin
to undo the damage. He started training with the
UN and helping them clear mines.
Ten years ago, Bayfield native
kiand photojournalist, Richard
Fitoussi, covered the 25th
anniversary of the Khmer Rouge
social experiment. He went to visit
Fitoussi the Cambodia Landmine Museum
that Aki Ra established at his
home in 1997.
"It was at his house on the river, a thatched hut,"
recalled Fitoussi. "The museum was piles of
weapons, anti-personnel mines, empty shell
casings — the toys of war."
Aki Ra invited Fitoussi to go demining with him, to
see how it was done. They spent ten days out in
very isolated, rural and heavily mined territory.
The farmers in the area would tell Aki Ra where
they thought mines were and he would set to work
digging them up and dismantling them using

As a young boy, Aki Ra was groomed to be an instrument of war by the Khmer Rouge regime. In his adult life,
Aki Ra has worked to combat the violence in which he once took part by removing what he can of the 6 million
landmines that still mar Cambodia's countryside.
The upcoming documentary, A Perfect Soldier, follows Aki Ra's quest to become a legitimate deminer. Coupled
with Aki Ra's aspiration to be certified was his desire to open a sanctioned landmine museum that also serves as
an orphanage for amputee victims of landmines.
steady hands and the tools of the trade, a
hammer and a wrench. Aki Ra, still has the eyes
of the child soldier who planted many mines so
long ago, and can by studying the geography
predict with accuracy where more mines may be
laid.
During their time together Aki Ra asked Fitoussi
for help.
"He envisioned a huge project," said Fitoussi. "He
wanted to establish a real NGO (non-
governmental organization). He wanted to build a
western -style museum and help kids effected by
land mines."
It was then that Fitoussi brought his photographs
back to Canada and over the next three years
worked at getting them published. He told Aki
Ra's story and began raising awareness and
funding for the project.
"I took it upon myself to make connections and to
form this non-profit organization," said Fitoussi,
founder of The Cambodia Landmine Museum
Relief Fund.
The Cambodia Landmine Museum and Relief
Facility opened to the public in 2007. It is the first
licensed and accredited museum of its kind in the
world.
Fitoussi is also an executive producer on a
documentary film being made about Aki Ra. The
film, entitled, A Perfect Soldier, is in the final
phase of post -production and is set to be
completed this month.
Fitoussi has his fingers crossed for Aki Ra's
nomination as a CNN Hero and the potential for
him to become CNN Hero of the Year.
"It is really great exposure for him and a good
opportunity to raise more money for the ongoing
clearing of mines," he said.
Fitoussi promises to keep the Bayfield Breeze
informed of when public voting for the CNN Hero
of the Year will begin. To view Aki Ra's CNN
Heroes segment go to
www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cnn.heroes/index.html
to tell his story, footage from A Perfect Soldier
was used as part of the feature.

SUBMISSIONS
Have you got your handicrafts ready? Have the sheep been groomed and the veggies picked? There is just a couple more
sleeps until the official opening of the 154th Bayfield Fall Fair. I am very much looking forward to it this year having been invited
by Don and Joan Brodie, the pair in charge of the Art and Photography Exhibit, to set up a display of photos that I took for the
Bayfield Breeze. It was a great deal of fun combing through the archives for a few favorite images — in making my decisions
even checked out our Flickr site to see which photos have received the most views by subscribers. So what images made it
into frames? You'll just have to check out the display at the fair to find out.
Oh, and if you are looking for a unique marketing tool for your business or service why not consider advertising in the Bayfield
Breeze — we currently have a few spots open for six or 12 month periods. Help bring the Bayfield Breeze to the door of 1,400
subscribers each week and in turn enhance your own business profile and increase visits to your own website. Just contact the
Bayfield Breeze for more information. - Melody
