ANGLICAN CHURCH Looking out the window at all the snow on the ground doesn't exactly conjure up images of the Bayfield Antique Show and Sale hosted each August by the congregation of Trinity Anglican Church. However, the event coordinators are hoping to get people thinking about it and maybe even considering volunteering at the event to be held Aug. 5-7 at the Bayfield Community Centre. The Antique Show and Sale now in its 26th season is a wonderful boon to the village and help from both residents and summer folk is needed to make it a continued success. There are a variety of tasks to choose from when volunteering, helping with set up, serving in the tearoom, security and front door admission sales are but a few examples.

He was one of the original dog handlers for this section. It was the first Canine Section for a municipal police force in Ontario. It started as a trial experiment in 1970 and still exists today.

(Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Bayfield resident, Ken Larone, an integral part of Canada's journalistic scene during the past 50 years, was the guest speaker at the Bayfield Historical Society Annual Meeting and Luncheon held on Jan. 24 at St. Andrew's United Church. Larone began his career in Seaforth helping Dr. James Scott research his book, entitled, "The Settlement of Huron County'. With some encouragement from Scott and A.Y. McLean, then owner of the Seaforth newspaper, The Huron Expositor, he decided to pursue a career in journalism beginning with an education at Ryerson in Toronto. Following graduation he worked as a reporter at three newspapers, The Stratford Beacon Herald, The London Free Press and the Vancouver Sun. It was during his time on Canada' west coast that he was invited by a friend and fellow journalist for a long weekend out in California to see a new trend in the newspaper business. One of the papers in his suburban community group was a Scarborough publication. As the automobile maker, D.W. Volkswagen, was looking to start a new plant in Scarborough, Larone was invited, along with three other journalists, to spend a week in Wolfsburg, Germany to see how the factory operated. During the week the company planned an outing with lunch served at the Berlin Wall. Everyone had been told not to touch the wall but one photographer with Paris Match got caught up in the experience and absentmindedly put his foot up on the wall. Almost instantly a shot rang out and the journalist was hit in the head and killed. "It was a terrible experience and one that shook me very badly," recalled Larone. Another stressful time came at the helm of the Toronto Star when one of his top reporters was sent to interview Yasser Arafat and disappeared. "Earlier that year, I had a young woman of Palestinian descent interview for a job. I had told her to try and get a job at the Guelph Mercury or the Galt Reporter and get to know people at that level and learn about the country first and then come back and see me. She had checked in a couple of times with me to keep me up-to-date of her progress," he said. "When my reporter went missing I was very concerned I would never see him again. Arafat wouldn't return my calls." So Larone made a phone call to the Galt Reporter where the young woman, who turned out to be Arafat's niece, was working "I asked her to come in and see me and make the call to her uncle and ask him to let my reporter go" The woman required some convincing but she did eventually come in and make the call, the reporter came home the next day. The Toronto Star position wasn't without excitement. Another story Larone told featured the cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week5lssue82/tabid/486/Default.aspx 6/10 5/27/2019 Week 5 Issue 82 "The captain didn't know what to do when our His friend introduced him to a suburban newspaper that would become his prototype for future crew of a freighter.

The stories he shared, in front of the members of the Bayfield Historical Society attending their annual meeting, were made all the more astonishing perhaps because he is a Huron County boy at heart. I, perhaps better than anyone there, could understand the hard work and long hours that would have gone into such a career. And I appreciated hearing the stories of a time in journalism that I just got a glimpse of at the very start of my own career. A time before the communication world began revolving at break neck speed. Melody Falconer -Pounder When I started at journalism school we were working on electric typewriters and Liquid Paper was a good but messy friend. Just before graduation they introduced desktop publishing — something the papers I worked for wouldn't achieve for a few years yet. Cut and paste meant a whole different thing at layout time. How people get their news may have evolved in the 50 years since Larone began his career, and the 20 years since I began mine, but one thing hasn't changed. There will always be amazing people accomplishing the extraordinary whose stories need to be heard. And it was my honor to write about one such individual this week. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
