UNITED CHURCH
Unfortunately another round of snow squalls forced
the cancellation of St. Andrew's United Church's
Christmas Carol Service on Dec. 12. Disappointed
but not daunted the choir is now well practiced for the
2011 show as they plan to stage the concert they had
been rehearsing next year.
But there is still something to look forward to, on Dec.
24 at 7:30 p.m. a Christmas Eve Service with
Communion will be held at St. Andrew's.
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The congregation of Knox Presbyterian Church in
Bayfield invites those in the community to join them
for their services during the week of Christmas.
The fourth service of Advent will be held at Knox on
Dec. 19 at 11 a.m. Special music will be performed
by soloist Brian Hoy.
A Service of Carols and Candlelight, featuring, "The
Shepherd's Tale" will be held on Dec. 24 at 7 p.m.

EMPTIES FOR
iI F RS�
H l iL EIM
Two Bayfield women would like to invite everyone to
share your empties for Alzheimers this holiday
season.
Dianne Brandon and Carrie Courtney will be
participating in the 2011 Walk for Memories on Jan.
29 and they have come up with a unique idea as a
fundraiser.
It is, of course, hoped that everyone will celebrate
responsibly this festive season and when doing so
plan to donate the empty beer bottles and cans; wine
and liquor bottles and even soda cans as well, to
their team, "For the Love of Elane and Doris". The
ladies being honored are currently living with
Alzheimer's Disease, Elane Brandon, Courtney's
grandmother, and Doris Schilbe, Dianne's mother.
Empties of all sorts may be dropped off at Brandon's
Hardware in Bayfield, or arrangements can be made
for pick up on either Dec. 18th or Jan. 9 (other times
can be arranged as well). For more information call
Brandon's Hardware at 519 565-2677.
FILM SOCIETY
The Bayfield Film Society has moved their Fall
Series to Wednesday nights. The final cinematic
experience of the fall series was to be shown on Dec.
8 but has now been rescheduled for Jan. 12.
The film, entitled, Me & Orsen Wells, will be shown at
the Bayfield Town Hall beginning at 7:30 p.m.
This is an opportunity to see Toronto Film Festival
Films without having to leave the village. For more
information and for tickets call Jane Rowat at 519
565-5838 or e-mail wjrowat@tcc.on.ca.
CHAP
Village residents may be surprised to learn that they
don't have to drive to a larger centre for heart healthy
care.
Blood pressure measurement and monitoring
sessions are being held right here in Bayfield as part
of the Cardiovascular Health Awareness Program
(CHAP).
The goal of CHAP is to promote cardiovascular
health in the local community and to raise awareness
about the importance of blood pressure monitoring.
Trained volunteers will help participants measure
their blood pressure and complete a heart and stroke

AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY
The Bayfield Agricultural Society is on the brink of an
unprecedented accomplishment with their annual
wreath fundraiser. If they sell just a few more wreaths
or tails (swags) they will reach $6,000 in sales.
As everyone can imagine this is a very exciting
prospect for the members of the organization that
bring the Bayfield Fall Fair to life each year. The
organizers of the wreath fundraiser greatly
appreciate all of those people who have supported
their efforts so far and hope that others will help them
reach their goal. It is not too late to purchase a
wreath to adorn a front door during the upcoming
holiday season and well on into the winter.

Siobhan Kleuskens, daughter of Marty and Tara of Goderich, was the lucky winner of the toy chest filled to the
brim with toys for both boys and girls of all ages. Siobhan will no doubt be sharing her good fortune with her
little brother Aiden. The draw on the raffle, which was a fundraiser for the Bayfield Optimist Club, was made
by Santa himself at the club's annual Breakfast with Santa event held on Dec. 12. Assisting Santa with the
draw was Optimist Mike Dixon. The club is pleased to report that approx. $1,600 was raised from the raffle
making it the most successful one to date. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder)

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!

Nine month-old, Rodney Ansley was all smiles when he was placed on Santa's knee for a picture alongside big
sister, Mikayla. All was fine until he took a good look at who was holding him; unsure of what to make of the
man with the beard his mood quickly changed.
A record number of participants took part in
the Bayfield Optimist Club's annual Breakfast
with Santa at the Bayfield Village Inn on Dec.
12.
The fifth annual event was held on a slush
and sleigh bells kind of day but the weather
held for the brunch at which people consumed
23 dozen eggs and 18 pounds of bacon.
The club greatly appreciates those
businesses who sponsor the family friendly
function including: Bayfield Foodland,
Fairholme Dairy, Outside Projects, Bayfield
Village Inn, Brandon's Hardware and Albert
Schilbe.
In addition to a hearty meal, several children
took advantage of the opportunity to spend a
little time with the jolly old elf, himself. It is
reported that Mr. Claus made it safely back to
his workshop before the storm set in again.
Three week-old, Shayla Ward was
one of the youngest children to
visit with Santa at the breakfast
held on Dec. 12.
Weston Rathwell, of Varna, wasn't
sure if he wanted to sit on Santa's
knee or not but he later warmed
up to the idea.

SUBMISSIONS
One of the more fun aspects of my preparations for Christmas is Breakfast with Santa hosted by the Bayfield Optimist Club. I
have the joyous task of photographing those special moments when the youngsters approach Santa to tell him what their
holiday wishes are.
Jolly Ol' Santa and I have been working together for the last five years and may I say the Elf is a pleasure to work with. He's
got the spirit in him; he's gentle, kind and patient. He never promises a gift when asked for one but says that he'll do his very
best to make a wish come true.
Melody Falconer -Pounder Some youngsters may get overzealous and pull at his beard, while others burst into tears at the sight of the man in the bright
red suit. Still others are bashful and require a few encouraging words on approach and the smallest of the wee, well, quite
often they sleep through the entire visit. No matter their reaction he never fails to wish them all the blessings of the season.
Many of the youngsters are now veterans of the breakfast and they've got the routine down. It is so wonderful to see the changes in these children each
year as they grow and mature, that is until they reach the age where they feel too grown-up to have a visit with Santa and they pass us by. Sadly that
seems to happen in the wink of an eye. So for those of you with youngsters whose eyes still get round as saucers at the sound of "Ho! Ho! Ho!" treasure
each moment and hold it close to your hearts. And from Santa, and I, best wishes for a very blessed Christmas. - Melody
