The HCCB is an independent, community- wide, volunteer organization, but it could not function without the support of community churches and generous citizens as well as such entities as the Huron -Perth Children's Aid Society. The society provides office space, phone lines, and administrative assistance to help the HCCB operate. Every year, about 1000 children have a Christmas made merry through the generosity of county residents. Residents in Bayfield can participate in the HCCB Gift Tag program. The gift tag tree is currently on display at Brandon's Hardware. Simply select a gift tag or tags for a boy or girl, a suggested clothing size is on each tag, but donors are not limited to purchasing clothing they can donate a toy for someone of that size if they prefer to do so. Once the item or items have been selected, attach the gift tag to the item and place it in any of the HCCB drop boxes located throughout the county. In Bayfield those drop-off locations are JD's Restaurant, Main Street Optometric and This N' That. Gifts can be delivered to the drop boxes from Dec. 6-10. According to Gail Grant, HCCB public relations chair, "We can all be Santas! 2010 is a critical year: the economic downturn hit us hard and, for many people, their EI or severance has reached the limit. In fact, we may have former donors who are recipients this year, a difficult role change, but we hope that anyone in this situation will remember that to give and to receive are both acts of gratitude." The HCCB is a county -wide volunteer group that organizes five gift "bureaus" for disadvantaged families. They are located in churches in Clinton, Exeter, Goderich, Seaforth and Wingham. Toys, clothes, food and food vouchers are donated, or purchased with cash donations, for which the donor can receive a tax receipt. HEALTH SERIES "Here's to Health!" is an opportunity for area seniors to learn how to maximize their health with self- management tips on how to enjoy a healthy lifestyle and organizers are pleased to report that the sessions are proving to be quite popular with attendance ranging from 25 to 40 people each week.

The final session will be held at the Bayfield Community Centre on Nov. 29 for one hour starting at 10:30 a.m. This final session of the series will be an education session in CPR led by Kendra Craig, a CPR trainer.

FITNESS FUN cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week481ssue73/tabid/477/Default.aspx 3/11 5/27/2019 Week 48 Issue 73 On Nov. 26 the Bayfield Town Hall will welcome back the London Citadel Salvation Army Band for their fifteenth annual Christmas Concert. Their appearance on the town hall stage is a holiday tradition for many and should not be missed. In case of inclement weather the concert will be held on Dec. 3. The London Citadel Band got its start in 1883. By the early 1900s the band was in demand and performed in such cities as Windsor and Detroit. In the last 127 years the groups' horizons have broadened considerably and they have traveled to England twice as well as the west coast of Canada and parts of the USA. Bandmaster John Lam, a native of Owen Sound, joined the band in 1985. Ten years later he became Bandmaster and that year he brought the band to the town hall. Since then they have returned annually excepted for one year when they were "snowed out". Show time is 8 p.m. and tickets are selling for $10 per person. For tickets call Charles Kalbfleisch at 519 565-2244 or Pat Langley at 519 565-2894 or online at ticketscene.ca Coincidentally, the Salvation Army began in Canada in 1882, the same year that the Bayfield Town Hall was built. All proceeds from the concert will go to The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society for the maintenance of the hall. GIVE THE GIFT OF MEMBERSHIP IN THE BRVTA The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) has had a busy year and due to ongoing community support, their projects will continue to grow. The Sawmill, Woodland and Heritage Trails cover a total of 10 KMs and are being enjoyed by both local residents and visitors. Opportunities to stay fit, and have fun while doing it, abound for fall 2010. Bayfield residents can join the Zumba craze as classes have now started in the village. Zumba is a dance fitness class that combines Latin rhythms and easy to follow moves, creating a calorie burning dance party suitable for all ages. The classes will be held on Mondays from 7-8 p.m. at the Bayfield Community Centre. The class will run for approx. 10 weeks, at $10 per class, with a two-week break over Christmas. Licensed Zumba instructors, Alison De Groot and Lorraine Dietz, will teach the class. For more information email De Groot at bayfieldzumba@gmail.com Pole Walking is a popular part of many fitness regimes. There is currently a Pole Walking session on Tuesdays at 9 a.m. and Thursdays at 1 p.m. The group departs from 6 Main Street. The session incorporates an hour of walking with an ending cool down stretch. And pole walking is not just a women's exercise; new sessions are being introduced for men on Mondays and Fridays starting at 8:30 a.m. Anyone new to Pole Walking can contact Pat Lewington at 519 565-2202 for more information. People are invited to support the trails financially by joining the BRVTA. Yearly memberships are $20 per individual and $25 per family.

Fit Classes take place on Mondays and Wednesdays at To learn more about volunteering with the BRVTA or for more information please contact Member Coordinator, Helen Varekamp at hvarekamp@tcc.on.ca or call 519 565-5442. Thousands of hours of volunteer time have gone into creating the trails with the goal to provide walking trails for community health, enjoyment, environmental awareness and tourism. Over the past three years the BRVTA has produced a valuable community asset, but this trail project is still in its infancy and most expensive stage. Bridges, boardwalks, signage and erosion control are all capital investments that must be purchased before trails can be opened. The BRVTA has brought this community closer together; support and the generosity of our landowner partners have enabled them to sponsor numerous fundraiser walks. Groups from other communities are learning about and walking the trail network. The BRVTA reports that feedback has been wonderful! Outdoor enthusiasts should take careful note that the Woodland Trail will be closed from Nov. 29 to Dec. 5 for Deer Hunting Season. To ensure the safety of trail users and to meet the conditions that the association has agreed to with their landowner partners, the BRVTA has placed "Trail Closed" signs at each entry point to the Woodland Trail. The Woodland Trail will be reopened immediately after the hunting season is finished. The Sawmill Trail, the Heritage Trail and the Mavis and Taylor Trails in Varna do not permit hunting at any time and are open all year round. LAST CHANCE TO SUBMIT STORIES ABOUT THE WATERSHED The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) is calling all aspiring authors and poets to use the Ausable Bayfield Watershed as their muse. 10:15 a.m. A new class entitled, Let's Stretch, and hosted by April, from Bayfield Chiropractic will be held on Fridays at 10 a.m. All of these classes are held at the Bayfield Community Centre.

Following a ruling made by the Supreme Court of Canada, all independent cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week481ssue73/tabid/477/Default.aspx 6/11 5/27/2019 Week 48 Issue 73 Sharon Chuter, looks forward to spending more time with family and doing some travelling, following her recent retirement as General Manager of TCC. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Sharon Chuter's name has been synonymous with the Tuckersmith Communications Cooperative Ltd. (TCC) since she was named General Manager of the telecommunications company in Nov. 1994. However, her career with the company actually goes back to 1974 when she joined the company as a part-time secretary. "In 1973, we had sold our house in Varna and the five of us had moved in with my husband Eric's Dad in his two bedroom home while Eric was getting our Mink Ranch established. It was then that Eric suggested that I apply for a job at the telephone office," recalled Chuter. "I met with Mel Graham (manager) at the kitchen table in his home and he hired me." Thirty-six years later, Chuter has called it a career. A recent retirement dinner and public open house held in her honor has provided time for her to reflect on the remarkable journey her life took following that one meeting at a kitchen table. "I really would like to thank Mel for hiring me and for treating me like a daughter," she said. "He instilled in me the person I am today." When Chuter joined the company it was known as the Tuckersmith Municipal Telephone System (TMTS). She worked with fellow secretary Joyce Dowson out of Graham's home where the office was located for 21 years. Rounding out the list of employees in the early 70s were linemen, Bill Dowson and Murray McKenzie. When Joyce Dowson retired in 1981, Chuter took on the role of full-time secretary. In 1982, she became Plant Superintendent. Her role as Plant Superintendent entailed dealing with supply companies and ordering as well as overseeing the men in the field and providing them with their daily work details. By 1984, TMTS would move from Graham's home to offices in the Stanley Twp. Complex in Varna. In 1993, a newly constructed home for the TMTS was opened in Kippen, a location with lots of space to grow. telephone companies in the country were placed under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Canadian Radio -Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). In order to comply with the Federal Telecommunications Act, the TMTS had to reorganize as a corporation. Add to this upheaval, some internal changes within the TMTS as well. Graham decided to retire at the start of 1994 and there was some angst as to who his successor should be. Finally it was determined to promote from within and Chuter stepped into the role of General Manager in Nov. 1994, the same month that TMTS became incorporated as TCC. "It was decided that a co-operative corporation would fit with what we were already, a company owned by the people who took phone service," Chuter said. In her 36 years at TCC, Chuter saw a lot of changes but the moment that impacted her the most came in the summer of 1987 when the telephone system was upgraded to a newly installed Strom berg -Ca rlson digital switch The decision had been made to replace the old crossbar equipment that provided dial telephone service to this new digital service that would provide modern telephone features such as touch-tone phones, call forwarding and call waiting. "We were only the second independent phone company in Ontario to have a Strom berg -Carl son Digital Switch. I remember standing in the building in Bayfield when they flipped it over and it didn't work. They worked all the next day and at midnight they flipped it again and it worked. I clearly remember the magnitude of this change for the community." It was a $1.1 million dollar project. The change would substantially increase the long-distance toll revenue for the TMTS and reduce switching charges paid to Bell Canada. "This increase in revenue helped give us the funds needed to easily pay off the project," she said. Today TCC is one of 19 independent phone companies in the province. "Bell did buy up a lot of the companies that were in financial difficulty but we stayed. There have been times when we struggled financially, upgrading all the while to make the system better and when we needed money, Tuckersmith Twp. would help and we were able to survive like that." she said. "We have also worked with the other area independent companies to share expenses and provide updated service." Branching out into the internet was one of those "huge decisions" that allowed the companies to cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week481ssue73/tabid/477/Default.aspx 7/11 5/27/2019 And then in 1994, "everything happened all at once".

(Submitted photo) work together. Then following in quick succession were wireless internet, fibre optic connections for the Clinton and Seaforth hospitals to connect to the London Health Sciences Centre which lead to capabilities for Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and then cellular phone service. "I sometimes wonder what is next? How can things change as much in the next ten years as they did in the past 107" she said. One thing that hasn't changed in all the years of technological progress is the fact that those people who work at TCC do so in an atmosphere that feels very much like a family. "The staff is tremendous: with the introduction of 2008. IPTV, launching cellular and even introducing a new billing system they have had to deal with many learning curves," she said. "Even during the major renovations that we recently completed they did fabulous. Five girls in one room with their desks jammed up close together and they worked well — they got along so well in that environment." As a GM in the constantly changing world of telecommunications Chuter had to listen and trust her suppliers as well as rely a great deal on Plant Operations Manager, Rob Van Aaken, who would research the best products at the best prices. Van Aaken, who has been with TCC for more than 20 years, has now stepped into the position of GM. "We are very fortunate to have Rob. He is very capable and we have been grooming him for the position for the last couple of years. I am confident he will do well with the support of Office Manager, Linda Middegaal as his right hand person," said Chuter. In addition to missing the staff, Chuter states she will also miss the people she worked with on affiliated boards. Chuter served on the board of the Ontario Telecommunications Association from 1995 to 2004, assuming the role of president from 2000-02. She was awarded a life membership in the association in 2003. She has also been a board member of Co-operative Synergies Inc. since it was incorporated in 1995. "It was definitely time to retire, the technology is changing so quickly it was getting hard to keep up with it," said Chuter, who reached retirement age in August. "I cleaned everything off my desk, the 100th anniversary celebrations (in 2009), the launch of the new billing system and the offices were renovated. I didn't want to start another new project, now it is up to someone else to take it forward from there. "It was a tough decision, the hardest I've ever made, I really enjoyed the industry and the cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week481ssue73/tabid/477/Default.aspx 8/11 5/27/2019 Week 48 Issue 73 Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Kippen Business Office in Aug. 1993 I -r: Murray Cardiff, MP; Ken Rogerson, director; Linda Middegal, staff; Bob Cooper, director; Sharon Chuter, staff; Mel Graham, general manager; Paul Klopp, MPP; Brian Johnston, contractor; and Tony Hutchings, director.

Chuter's final day at work was in October and she and her husband, a semi -retired farmer, immediately took what is hoped to be the first of many trips. "We went to San Antonio, Texas for 10 days and are thinking of perhaps going to Florida for the month of January," she said. Chuter will also have more time to spend with her three children, Tannis Denomme, Jeff Chuter and Sherry Rollings, as well as her seven grandchildren, who range in age from 24 to 4 years old. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week481ssue73/tabid/477/Default.aspx 9/11 5/27/2019 Week 48 Issue 73 DUKE AND DOLLY by Scott Bradford Email your photo in Jpeg format to bayfield.breeze@villageofbayfield.com with the subject line Subscriber Photo of the Week. or ...

I seem to be having real difficulty with it; so I "googled" (yes, I am intentionally using the term as a verb) local sunrise and sunset times to justify my angst. The sunset for today, Nov. 24, is 4:55 p.m. Therefore we are provided with a mere 9 hours 26 minutes and 11 seconds of daylight on this day. But hold on, we have further to go, by the time the Winter Solstice arrives on Dec. 21 we will be reduced to enjoying just 9 hours and 18 seconds of daylight. No wonder we crave light at this time of year. And it is no wonder in many parts of the globe this is the time of year to celebrate light. In our household Advent begins this weekend and I will take great pleasure in decorating my home for the holidays. Let there be lots of twinkling lights and candles burning safely to brighten our little world despite the shortness of days. - Melody cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week481ssue73/tabid/477/Default.aspx 10/11 5/27/2019 Week 48 Issue 73 Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
