BAYFIELD GUIDING cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Weekl31ssue9O/tabid/494/Default.aspx 1/9 5/27/2019 Week 13 Issue 90 owned by Dyan Hanly. This year the show will be held at the Bayfield Community Centre on Apr. 16-17. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) The Bayfield Historical Society's 11th annual Bayfield Collector Show and Exhibition will be held a little earlier in April this year to accommodate for the lateness of Easter. The event will be held on Apr. 16-17. The exhibition will be held at the Bayfield Community Centre and run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The official opening ceremony will take place on Saturday at 1 p.m. with several local dignitaries in attendance. Historical Society member, Phil Gemeinhardt works very hard all year round at finding new and different collections and exhibitors for this event. Pedal tractors, vintage toys, rope making, museum and archive displays, sewing, dolls, china and sometimes even the weird and the un- identifiable; this show offers something of interest for everyone. Popular aspects of the show continue to be the silent auction, appraisal corner and lunch booth. The silent auction always has a vast selection of items generously donated by area businesses and society friends. Organizers note that bidding on the items is brisk on both days but to be sure to be the winning bidder it is best to be there when the auction closes at 4 p.m. on Sunday. For more than a decade now, Tim Saunders, owner of Three Squirrels Antiques as well as a Historical Society past -president, has volunteered his time to preside over the appraisal table. With over 20 years experience in the antiques and collectables business, there is very little he cannot appraise. Those who wish to consult with him should bring no more than three items per person and pictures of furniture or other large items will suffice. The Bayfield Historical Society is able to carry on many local projects because of the generous donations they receive at the door to this event as well as at the appraisal table. The spirited bidding that occurs on many of the silent auction items also makes this the largest annual fundraiser for the society. For exhibitor or show information please contact: Phil Gemeinhardt, 519 482- 9230 or Binnie Sturgeon 519 565-2376.

She also hopes to raise $5,000 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) in the process. (Submitted photo) STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Corey Johnston is one motivated young woman. The 23 year-old, who grew up in Bayfield and now calls Toronto home, decided to take up long distance running at the end of January with a goal of running a full -marathon -and -a -half the first weekend in June. But the decision wasn't made on a whim it was made with a cause in mind. Johnston is looking to raise $5,000 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC). "Someone very close, and dear, to me was diagnosed last September and this was something I could do," said Johnston. "Every time I hit the streets in my running gear, I know that I'm doing something that can one day help save the lives of people close to me. I'm a part of the change that we all hope for when someone we love and care about is diagnosed with something as scary as cancer." Johnston got a pamphlet in the mail one day in late January from the LLSC advertising information sessions about an organization called Team In Training (TNT). She realized that one of the information sessions was going to be very close to her house, so she decided to attend. TNT began in 1988, when Bruce Cleland of Rye, NY formed a team that raised funds and trained to run the New York City Marathon in honor of Cleland's daughter, Georgia, a leukemia survivor. The team of 38 runners raised $322,000 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter. Due to the pioneering efforts of Cleland and the Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter, TNT was born and has grown into the world's largest endurance sports training program. "The most surprising thing would be how silly I was in the beginning. When I did my first five kilometer run, with the idea of completing a 42.2 KM marathon, it took me over an hour to complete. I hadn't pushed myself at all; I was out for a leisurely stroll! Now I am pushing myself to the limits, completing eight and 10 KM runs in under an hour and I have my five kilometer runs down to 30 minutes. But there have been tough days and a glimpse at her very candid training blog reveals this, yet she stays motivated, keeps putting one runner in front of the other... "I guess it's just the idea that what I'm doing will make a difference in someone's life. The research that LLSC sponsors currently funds 493 researchers in 16 different countries. Their research is used for a broad spectrum of health issues." ...Oh, and "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey on the old I -Pod that helps too. It is, after all, her theme song. Anyone who would like to donate to Johnston's fundraising goal please visit her fundraising webpage at http://tinyurl.com/tntcorey. Donations via credit or debit card will be accepted. Johnston also hopes to host a fundraising event in Bayfield in a few weeks. Please watch upcoming issues of the Bayfield Breeze for details. Johnston has been keeping a blog to document her training journey. The following is an exerpt from an entry written on Jan. 29. It demonstrates how much music is a motivating factor in keeping her running toward her goal.

Another difficult aspect of training has been the weather. "There was one eight kilometer run where I came home with ice cubes for feet, I was not pleased." On the opposite side of the coin, Johnston believes the easiest part of her training has been making the decision to stick to her running schedule. "Whenever I feel like staying at home in my warm house, I think to myself that the time I spend cold, outside, and running is nothing compared to the hours of agony someone has to go through during treatments." r w - r Bayfield Mews g �.tira Lp � 2 Ewidume 55+ Community One fl"r Towmlhormes 514. 555 .4542 L www_baylieldmews.ca PIMLATED - IMAGE OF THE WEEK with velcro, what ever happened to shoes with velcro anyway?

This was evident when last year a group attempted to save the Osage Orange Trees that sat at the edge of Hwy. 21, just south of Bayfield. They only succeeded in having the five trees sentence commuted from Spring until Fall. In the end they were cut down without a trace - just a barren section of highway remains. Those trees were a mere .65 meters over what the Ministry of Transportation determines to be the clear zone. Now road improvements have begun on Hwy. 4 and five Elm trees near Kippen have been given a death sentence. One of those trees may be familiar to our subscribers — she is a very healthy grand dame whose canopy acts as a gorgeous umbrella over the roadway. She is the type of tree people use as a landmark. She is estimated to be 138 years old. She is a regal creation but one defenseless against the progress of man. People from far and near have rallied on her behalf, including, children's author Robert Munsch and astronaut, Roberta Bondar. These people have invited the media to do stories, have held a rally and created a Facebook Group, a site that now boasts 191 members (and growing). This publicity has generated a stay of execution for the five Elm trees — albeit a short one - MTO officials are to make a decision today. A recurring suggestion being made by the common folk writing on the Facebook page is to put a guard-rail in front of the tree to combat vehicle safety concerns. This seems like a logical compromise and one I hope will be supported. The beautiful country landscape of Huron County may depend on it. To learn more or to become a friend of these trees join the Facebook Group: Save the Elm Trees — Huron County/Highway4. To lend your voice in the fight to save these trees email Martin.
