INA MATTER OF S...
In a matter of minutes our little corner of the world has been changed
forever. Goderich, our closest neighbor to the north, was ravaged by a
F3 tornado at approximately 4 p.m. on Aug. 21.
According to reports, the twister was on the ground for 20 -kilometers
cutting a path about 500 meters across. It came in off the lake and
struck the Sifto Salt Mine made its way up dock hill along West Street
through The Square across the East and Kingston Street block and
beyond. It reached speeds between 250 and 300 kilometers an hour.
Canada's Prettiest Town suddenly found itself in a state of emergency.

PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ
heavily for 10 minutes or so on Sunday afternoon — the hydro flickered off and on repeatedly for a
few minutes and then leveled out. I didn't really think anything of it until I saw police car after Vocal Jazz quartet, After Four, will present their lively
police car with sirens blaring traveling past our home and business on Hwy. 21. In our community renditions of traditional jazz, pop and Latin songs in a

was horribly wrong. accompanied by an instrumental quintet.
Then the word got out that a tornado had touched down in Goderich.
Once I had accounted for close family and friends I sat vigil with Facebook and listened to local
radio trying to come to grips with the situation all the while feeling helpless. Then the phone
began to ring. Some of our subscribers might not realize but my husband and I own a village hotel
and it turns out that providing shelter for those in need was one way we could make ourselves
useful.
On Sunday night into the wee hours of the morning we greeted victims of the tornado sent our
way through the Red Cross. Teams of reporters from the CBC, The Windsor Star, CHCH in
Hamilton and The Record in Kitchener all came through the doors as did service providers
looking for a place to rest their heads between shifts.
And by morning's light, the reporters were gone off in search of "the story". I, however, found
several people with stories to tell sitting eating breakfast in the breakfast room of our hotel. Many
of the folks sent our way were residents of apartments above the businesses on The Square. An
aerial photograph of The Square was featured in the London Free Press on the morning of Aug.
22, it was handed around and each person found in that picture the area where they lived.
"See that big hole in the roof," said one young man. "You can see right inside my apartment."
It is one of those moments in your life you will always remember. Time will now always be
measured by our lives before the tornado and after.
About 20 years ago Bayfield adopted me but Goderich is still where I am referring to when I say,
'Just going into town". I am a GDCI alumnus, was married there and worked as a reporter there. A
lot of the faces I pass on the streets when I go there are familiar ones and always -friendly ones.
Someone wrote on her Facebook page that beauty is only skin deep and although the town is
battered and bruised it will always be beautiful because its people are. I really couldn't have put it
any better. But these proud folks will need our support in the many, many days to come.

Late Tuesday, the Bayfield Breeze received a press release from the United Way of Perth -Huron

PENHALE FAMILY OPEN NEW GATES ON
155TH FALL FAIR
The Tom Penhale family were in attendance at the opening ceremonies for the Bayfield Fall Fair to unveil gates
created in his memory. From I -r: Wendy, Kelsey and Tyson Johnson, Doris Bennett, Carol and Rick Penhale.
On Aug. 19, the Bayfield Agricultural Society members held their opening ceremonies for the
155th Bayfield Fall Fair. This year it was held at the entrance to Agriculture Park so that a new
gate could be unveiled in memory of Tom Penhale, who died in the spring of 2010.
Penhale was a member of the Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) for over sixty years. His love of
heavy horses always ensured the Bayfield Fair show was one of the best in the area. He led the
grounds committee and was committed to having Agriculture Park available and used by the
public. When it was discovered that the entrance to the park needed repair, it was decided to put
a gate in that would at the same time honor Penhale, a man fully committed to the Bayfield Fall
Fair.
The play to be staged is called, "The Black Pearl
Murder Mystery", and will be a fundraising event for
The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society. The play will
be performed on Oct. 29.

This project received support from the Huron County Heritage Fund and the BAS. Ted Dunn,
Penhale's longtime friend and fellow member of the BAS, designed and constructed the gate.
The opening also marked a time to honor Dunn — a key player in the BAS. Provincial Minister of
Agriculture, Carol Mitchell, made a presentation to Dunn recognizing him for his more than 60
years of service to the society.

"Our Fair Will be Revvin' in 2011" was the theme
for the weekend and the schedule of events for
Aug. 19-21 went from zero to 60 right from the
opening ceremonies.
After the gates were officially swung open, several
talented youth took to the stage in the Bayfield
Community Centre for Bayfield's Youth Talent
Search, all were competing for a chance to move
on to the Western Fair competition in September.
Saturday dawned with agriculture stepping to the
forefront at the fair. The Western (Light) Horse
Show, 4-H Sheep Club Competition and the 4-H
Dairy Achievement were all held. On Sunday
afternoon the Heavy Horses and Mules attracted
attention in the show ring.

Can a youngster be more joyful than when playing in a Drawbridge Bouncy Castle?
Courtney Gardner took her horse through the paces during the Western (Light) Horse Show held on the
fairgrounds. This year's show was organized by Storeybook Stables.
Karen Wiley, of Pawsitive Effects Training Solutions in Clinton, took a puppy through his paces during a dog agility
demonstration held on Saturday afternoon.
Such activities as wiggle cars, a petting zoo, mini
tractor pull, face painting, balloon animals, a pet
parade, a professional juggler, dog agility, birds of
prey and cycling demonstrations also kept folks
amused throughout the weekend.
A variety of unique amusements by Checkers Fun
Factory of Hamilton replaced the traditional midway
at the 2010 fair. These inflatable amusements were
such a big hit that they were back and busy.
Unfortunately as Saturday progressed the weather
proved uncooperative for an outdoor video dance
so the BX93 event was cancelled. Organizers hope
to reschedule this dance party soon.
Rounding out the weekend of events was a new
Sunday morning breakfast followed by the ever -
popular Jamboree.
Noah ]ones, of Goderich, tried his
hardest on the Rock Climb
Extreme inflatable amusement.
Juggler Craig Douglas entertained
both young and old with his humor
and talent.
