STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER
Week 46 Issue 71
Visitors to Main Street Optometric may recognize a familiar face. Danielle Durand has returned to
the area after a seven-year absence. She is no stranger to Main Street employment having
worked at Rosie's Ice Cream Shop and Bayfield Foodland during her formative high school years.
Durand is now the office manager at Main Street Optometric, 25 Main Street North in the village.
Upon graduating from the University of Guelph, she began employment at i)Vision in Guelph, ON
which she describes as being a busy optical dispensary.
"Within eight months of employment I was promoted into the management position," she said. "At
i)Vision I managed a staff of eight employees, including two licensed opticians, optician students
and retail sales associates."
Durand has considerable experience in assisting clients with frame selection, and determining
most appropriate lens types based on the presented prescription. She is also experienced in
frame adjustment, repair and troubleshooting.
At Main Street Optometric she is responsible for bringing in the latest trends in high-quality
eyewear including major designers like Gucci, and Jimmy Choo, as well as more unique lines
including Vanni and Canadian made Spectacle Eyeworks from Vancouver. She is also happy to
advise patients with frame selection and most appropriate lens and coating types based on their
eyewear needs.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
With the onset of the festive season, the members
of the Bayfield and Area Volunteer Fire
Department would like us to remember those in
our community that may be doing without.
During the upcoming Bayfield Santa Claus parade
to be held on Nov. 13 at 11 a.m., they will be
collecting non-perishable food items from
spectators along the parade route. Donations will
also be accepted at Bayfield Foodland from noon
to 3 p.m. that day.
ANGLICAN CHURCH
Operation Christmas Child is a tradition at Trinity
Anglican Church and the latest campaign has
commenced.
Participants are asked to take a box and fill it with
gifts and necessities for either a boy or girl in one
of three age categories: 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14.
Instructions are provided as to what will and won't
be accepted in the box; a well-balanced selection
of such items as, school supplies, hygiene items,
small gifts and toys are acceptable. A donation of
$7 per box is also appreciated as this helps with
shipping costs.
Filled boxes should be returned to Trinity on or
before Nov. 14 as they will be blessed at the
church service that morning. The congregation
hopes to fill 100 shoeboxes as part of this
Samaritan's Purse project.
UNITED CHURCH
It's the time of year when local choirs dust off their
Christmas carol books to prepare for the festive
season.
The choir at St. Andrew's United Church is now
holding practices for their Christmas Carol Service
on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. All in the community are
invited to join the choir, no matter their
denomination.
The St. Andrew's United Church Women will hold
their annual Christmas Holly Bazaar this coming
weekend during Christmas in Bayfield.

GET A SNEAK PEAK AT "A PERFECT
SOLDIER" BEFORE IT HEADS TO
SUNDANCE AND CANNES
On Nov. 16, 3World Media will host a double screening of its two feature length documentaries,
"Waging Peace: Canada in Afghanistan" and "A Perfect Soldier" Local documentary filmmakers
Randall Lobb, Mark Hussey and Richard Fitoussi will present the films starting at 7:30 p.m.
"Waging Peace: Canada in Afghanistan" (2009) is the only Canadian independent documentary
to be produced on the frontlines of the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan since Canada's decade
long war began. The film explores what Canada is doing in Afghanistan and attempts to illustrate
why Canadians continue to die in a mission that has caused more controversy than any other
military intervention in its history. The film has received critical acclaim from the UN, the Christian
Science Monitor (UK), The Guardian (UK), as well as from educators, international diplomats,
and humanitarian groups. The Frontline Club in the UK is currently interested in hosting a
screening of the film in London later in the year.
Waging Peace will be followed by a sneak peak preview of "A Perfect Soldier" (2010), 3World
Media's follow up documentary.
"A Perfect Soldier", currently bound for Sundance and Cannes film festivals, tells the story of Aki
Ra, a former Khmer Rouge child soldier from Cambodia who has since become an international
hero as one of the world's greatest living landmine clearers. Aki Ra was recently nominated by
CNN as one of its Top 10 Heroes of 2010. Bayfield based filmmaker Fitoussi has a close
relationship with Aki Ra having worked with him for the last 11 years.
Fitoussi was responsible for launching Aki Ra's NGO and for building the Cambodian Landmine
Museum that now displays thousands of the weapons that Aki Ra has cleared. The museum is
also a landmine relief facility for some 40 children affected by landmines, disabilities and poverty.
Fitoussi will fly to Los Angeles the following morning to join Aki Ra as CNN's Anderson Cooper
presents him with his award during CNN's TRIBUTE TO HEROES broadcast airing American

STUDENTS ENCOURGED TO WRITE
ABOUT THEIR LOCAL WATERSHED
The Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authority (ABCA) is calling all aspiring
authors and poets to use the Ausable
Bayfield Watershed as their muse.
ABCA is hosting a writing competition called
Watershed Tales. Students who live within,
or attend a school within, the watershed
boundaries, are eligible to enter. This is the
perfect contest for young people with both
an interest in writing and a concern for their
local environment. Those who enter will
have a chance to have their work published.
Students can win cash prizes for short
stories, essays or poems that have a
positive environmental message about their
local watershed environment. Prizes will be
awarded for prose and poetry in different
age groups. There are also short story,
poem and essay categories for adults.
"ABCA wants to build environmental conscience and creative writing is a great way to encourage
young people to think about the natural environment around them," said Tim Cumming, ABCA
communications specialist. "Their stories about their watersheds can then educate others."
The deadline for submissions has been extended until Nov. 30. ABCA plans to publish winning
submissions in a limited -edition booklet and on a web site. For submission forms and contest
rules visit abca.on.ca.

the Optimist Club of Bayfield.
The doors of five beautiful Bayfield homes
were opened to the public on Nov. 6-7 with
over a dozen businesses taking part by
providing decor and design expertise to
enhance the homes for the festive season.
The businesses were: Decadence in the
Country, Varna; Blooms N' Rooms, Seaforth;
The Bayfield General Store, Artist Leonard
Carlyle Skinner, Den's Country Corner,
Inspirations and Huron, Hearth and Home, all
of Bayfield; Ad Hoc Design, of London; Village

Huron Ridge Acres, Zurich; Sharon's Floral
Memories, Hensall and Tannis Chisholm of
Epicure Selections.
The event is a fundraiser for the Bayfield
Optimist Club but it truly is a project supported
by many in the community. Countless
volunteers took time out of their weekend to
provide security in the homes as well as help
serve the lunch at the Bayfield Village Inn. For
their support the club members are truly
grateful.
The club is also indebted to their generous
homeowners who opened their doors and
welcomed everyone in. The organizers would
like to thank Tracey Johnston and her
teenagers, Linda Cox and Dave Nearingburg,
Gay and Spencer Reynolds, Jane and David
MacLaren and Don and Joan Brodie for their
patience and enthusiasm for the project from
start to finish.
This was the third home tour since 2006
organized by the Optimist Club of Bayfield.
The club now in its 26th year supports local
youth related projects, such as the village's
skateboard park. With the mandate, Friends
of Youth, they also enjoy supporting such
organizations as the Make -A -Wish Foundation
of South Western Ontario.
Gold is a popular color for
decorating in 2010 as evidenced

Jane and David MacLaren's home was the perfect setting to showcase the talents and products of seven
businesses. The living room was given that "Night Before Christmas" look with products from Den's Country
Corner and Inspirations on Main Street in Bayfield plus poinsettias from Huron Ridge Acres of Zurich.
Successful holiday decorating is in the details as evidenced by this magical display placed atop a hutch in the
home of Gay and Spencer Reynolds. The design was created by The Garden Gate of Grand Bend.
How do you incorporate a pool table into your holiday decorating? This question is answered by this festive
display created by The Bayfield General Store in the basement of the Cox/Nearingburg home.
The decorating was done by Helen

So I finally understand the expression bone tired and although I ache from head to toe it comes with a good strong sense of
accomplishment. The Homes for the Holiday Tour which I chaired for a third time for the Bayfield Optimist Club proved to be
our most popular to date with ticket sales just about reaching our goal of 500.
Reports from participating merchants were positive. They were rewarded for their involvement seeing shoppers hurrying to
their stores following the tour. And visitors were extraordinarily complimentary about the overall flavor of the tour, loving all the
homes and how they were decorated. They also relished the soup lunch that was served at the Bayfield Village Inn, a little
respite during the tour.
