It was announced in Stratford on Oct. 7 that the Huron Perth Children's Aid Society (CAS) will

colors of the season.
"Huron -Perth CAS is the lowest funded agency in this region," said Tom Knight, executive
director. "We are extremely efficient with our funding. We consistently spend ten to fifteen per
cent less than other child protection agencies across a number of areas."
The press release stated that the issue is the way the agency is funded.
"We believe the funding formula can be improved," said Judge. "It doesn't reflect regional
differences and it doesn't support good clinical work. The children and families of Huron and
Perth counties deserve services equal to those received across the region."
The agency provides service in rural areas without public transit. It regularly spends $50,000 to
$60,000 each month in mileage costs using volunteer drivers to transport children and families
to visits and appointments.
The funding formula should support good clinical work by allowing necessary staffing for good
outcomes for children.
"It's universally agreed that children do better in family environments, so we use additional staff
to help them stay there," said Knight. "According to the current formula, we're over budget in

Our sincere thanks to our kind friends and neighbors residing in Carriage Lane Subdivison that
contributed to the Oak Tree and Bench Memorial on the morning of Sept. 25. The memorial is
located inside the entrance to the park and it makes such a beautiful landmark and is quite the
eye-catcher.
We lived here for so many years when it was just a field across the road. Now we have the
gorgeous subdivision and the good folks who live in the houses. As each house was built, and
as the development grows, we welcome each and everyone.
For Tom to be honored in such a way was just overwhelming and we thank you from the
bottom or our hearts. God bless you all.

FALL COLORS DELIGHTED HIKERS WHO VENTURED OUT ON
THE WOODLAND TRAIL
PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
Close to 20 people took time out of their
hectic Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend to
enjoy the outdoors with members of the
Bayfield River Valley Trail Association
(BRVTA) on the afternoon of Oct. 11.

All village trails begin at the town's heart in Clan Gregor Square where the colors were most evident on Monday
afternoon.
Weather wise it was a typical fall day, one minute you needed a jacket, the next you didn't but spirits were high
as individuals trekked along Keith Crescent toward the forested portion of the trail.
Hikers enjoy a variety of habitats along the trail including old pastures.
It was the perfect opportunity to celebrate
autumn and the beauty of Bayfield's
Woodland Trail.
BRVTA member, Dave Gillians led the
"Community Colors Hike". He shared some
village anecdotes and trail building stories
with participants.
The Woodland Trail is about 5 KMS and is
rated as relatively easy with some challenging
hills. Hikers took in the scenic beauty of the
ravines, the deer trails, old pastures and
glacial hills as well as the old quarry and
lumber roads that make this walk so
interesting.
The Woodland Trail is now closed until Oct.
25 due to the Wild Turkey Hunt. The
landowners who generously allow hikers to
use their property have asked the BRVTA to
close this trail during the Wild Turkey Hunt
and also during Deer Hunting Season. The
trail will be closed for the Deer Hunt on Nov.
1-7 and Nov. 29 to Dec. 5.
The Sawmill Trail, the Heritage Trail and the
new trails in Varna do not permit hunting at
any time and are open all year round.
Dave Gillians, a BRVTA member,
led the hike with nearly 20 people
taking part. He shared many
village anecdotes as well as some
trail building stories as the group
walked along.
The Woodland Trail is about 5 KMS

Members of the BRVTA have worked hard to create the trail which allows
hikers to pass with ease across little creeks and up tricky hills, their
generosity, as well as well as that of landowners, is well noted along the
trail.
Peter Westwood and his dog, Havik, took part in the Community Colors Hike along the Woodland Trail on the
afternoon of Oct. 11. Roger Lewington and Roz Westwood also enjoyed the hike which was organized by the
BRVTA to celebrate autumn.

SUBMISSIONS
With Thanksgiving just past there is time to reflect over a second piece of pumpkin pie. I am so lucky to live where I do and so
grateful that our community is filled with people who advocate for our great outdoors and have done so by creating such
wonderful places to commune with nature as the Woodland and the Sawmill Trails.
Anywhere I have been fortunate enough to travel I have always enjoyed the opportunity to take in what hiking trails were
offered. I recall wishing that Muir Woods in San Francisco, CA could be just a little closer to home so I could share it with my
Girl Guides but then along came the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA). Now of course I am not comparing our

fine collection of deciduous and coniferous trees to giant Redwood trees but the local trails created by the BRVTA have much
to offer with the added benefit of quite literally being in our own backyard.
The holiday weekend afforded me a little time to sneak out on the Sawmill Trail (twice) as well as the Woodland Trail (now
closed until Oct. 25 for the Wild Turkey Hunt).
So if you haven't already done so I encourage you to head out on a trail this fall - the Sawmill Trail, Heritage Trail and two trails
in Varna are open and eager to share their beauty with visitors... - Melody
