AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY Volunteers are now needed to help make the 154th Bayfield Fall Fair an extraordinary event. The fair which will be held on Aug. 20-22 is an integral part of the village summer calendar but it can only be a success with great volunteers. This year new chairs are needed for such departments as flowers and concessions, but help for any area of interest to people is always appreciated. For more information on how you can help the Bayfield Agricultural Society with their upcoming fair please contact Emma VanderWouden, secretary, at 519 482-3020.

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER 24-30, 2009 were held in and around Bayfield including, the Village Market at the Bayfield Town Hall and the Gala Dinner and Locavore Brunch, both held at the Bluewater Shores Resort. The award was presented at the OEDA held at the Toronto Marriott Eaton Centre Hotel on Feb. 4. "This year, over 130 entries were judged," said Lauren Millier, 2009 Economic Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO) president. "The competition allows local communities to see just how they stack up against other municipalities when it comes to promoting location, investment & tourism opportunities." "Many food -related festivals and events take place around the province and competition is very high when it comes to the best one ...the competition is very stiff, "said Jenna Ujiye. Knox Presbyterian Church in Bayfield will host the World Day of Prayer service on the afternoon of March 5. This year the service has been created by the women of Cameroon. The theme of their service is "Let Everything that has Breath Praise God." To these women the theme means the following, "In the Cameroonian context people praise God even in and especially during difficult times in their lives. This is because generally we consider life to be God's greatest gift to us. As long as one has breath, there is hope. So we sing in the hope that things will be better." cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfieldBreezeWeek8lssue33/tabid/282/Default.aspx 2/12 6/18/2019 Bayfield Breeze - Week 8 Issue 33 "Many food -related festivals and events take place around the province and competition is very This interdenominational service will begin at 2 high when it comes to the best one.

PROMISE TO HELP CHILDREN OF HAITI CONTINUES WITH MOST RECENT VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER PHOTOS COURTESY JOHANNA STEEGSTRA cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfieldBreezeWeek8issue33/tabid/282/Default.aspx 6/12 6/18/2019 Bayfield Breeze - Week 8 Issue 33 Editor's note: We first had the opportunity to learn about Johanna Steegstra's experiences volunteering at a Haitian orphanage in the Bayfield Breeze Week 52 Issue 25 — dated Dec. 23, 2009. This week she reflects on her most recent visit. Upon their arrival at the Detroit Airport on Jan. 23 the women posed with the 11 bags of donated supplies they took to the orphanage. Also safely hidden on their persons was $8,000 in US cash. In 2006, Johanna Steegstra, of Bayfield, first walked through the gates of the Children of the Promise Infant Home (COTP) in Cap-Hatien, Haiti and at the end of her three weeks of volunteering at the facility she returned home leaving her heart behind. On that trip she had given of herself to a nine month-old baby named Herlandie (Lansey). The baby was only nine pounds when she first took her under her "wing" but she was well on to thriving when she left. Lansey was later adopted by a Michigan couple. "The adopted mother found me on Facebook," said a beaming, Steegstra, during a recent interview. "Lansey is now in Kindergarten. She is a social butterfly and doing well." Steegstra was very touched that the adopted mother would take the time to contact her. It is good news such as this that compelled Steegstra to return to the orphanage, this time bringing with her a contingent of like-minded area women: Melody Van Dorp, Mary Hey, Jalisa Terpstra, Linda LeBlanc and Bernice Hoftyzer. The group volunteered at COTP for a week from Jan. 24 to Jan. 31; just 12 days after a magnitude 7 earthquake shook the island, devastating its capital, Port-au-Prince. Although the orphanage some 90 miles from the quake's epicenter sustained no physical damage, Steegstra did note some changes in the community surrounding it. "I noticed more poverty than I did last time," she said. "And I'm sure it was due to the earthquake, the population had doubled. People were fleeing from the South to live with relatives in the North." Steegstra and Jon out for a walk using a special stroller. Jon has Cerebral Palsy. The volunteers came to know Jon as the boy who smiled all the time. Steegstra entitled this photo 'Beauty Among the Ashes' it is the view that the orphanage backs on to. Mac was one of the children brought to the orphanage after the earthquake. He was assigned to Steegsta's care. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfieldBreezeWeek8issue33/tabid/282/Default.aspx 7/12 6/18/2019 Bayfield Breeze - Week 8 Issue 33 Melody Van Dorp, Mary Hay, Bernice Hoftyzer, Jalisa Terpstra, Johanna Steegstra and Linda Leblanc (kneeling) were very happy to present COTP Field Operator, Jamie Green, with $5,000 US in donations to be used for the daily operations of the home. Volunteer Linda LeBlanc, at the entrance to the orphanage with some new friends. As field operators for Children of the Promise, Jen and Jamie Green, have made a five year committment to the infant home. The two teachers, adoptive parents of three Haitian children, took on their job in July of 2009. A classroom has been built at the orphanage and Jen hopes to start holding regular classes soon to teach the children English, French and Creole. They are pictured here with Mac, Steegstra's charge. The orphanage was also noticing an increase in the cost of necessities such as diesel used to operate a generator that provided not only lighting for the COTP but the entire village of Logosette where it is located. The cost of the fuel had jumped to $100 a gallon. "The after affects of the earthquake will be more than just crumbling buildings," said Steegstra. "What is going to happen to an overpopulated island whose infrastructure has been destroyed?" A bright spot among the turmoil was the fast - tracking of adoptions that were already in process at the time of the quake. Generally there are 50 orphans being cared for at the COTP. Twenty of these orphans were able to join their forever families in the United States, Canada and elsewhere, while the remaining 30 were in the process of being adopted out. "The whole week we were there we were waiting for an airlift of children to come from Port -Au - Prince. Every time a helicopter would go by we wondered if this would be the one with the children. We had our running shoes on as the field operator instructed us that we would have to move quickly to get the children off fast when it arrived," said Steegstra. "It never came." But children in need are not rare occurrences in Haiti, with children being dropped off at the orphanage daily since the earthquake. As is tradition at COTP each of the volunteers was assigned a high needs baby to care for and offer play therapy to throughout their stay. Steegstra's child was one of the youngsters brought to the gates following the quake. Mac was his name. Mac weighed 14 lbs when he arrived at the orphanage and they had no idea of his age. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfieldBreezeWeek8issue33/tabid/282/Default.aspx 8/12 6/18/2019 Bayfield Breeze - Week 8 Issue 33 Volunteers were encouraged to take the children for afternoon walks. Here, volunteers Linda LeBlanc, Jalisa Terpstra and Melody Van Dorp enjoy the countryside with a group of infants and toddlers. Fifty children, aged two and under, are cared for at the Children of the Promise Infant Home in Cap-Hatien, Haiti. The goal is to return them to their community or a family member when they reach the age of two but many have to be adopted out as the families are often too poor to keep them. Sometimes the adoption process takes a little longer and there are a few older children at the orphanage including, Geoff and Ella, both age five. "He was very dehydrated and malnourished. He was limp. He couldn't sit up on his own," said Steegstra. "But with water and constant holding after the first day he was able to sit up but he did not smile." Mac graduated to milk products and both his strength and his smile began to return; it was from there that the volunteers were able to determine that this 14 Ib baby was actually about a three year-old toddler. By the end of the week he had progressed from sitting up to crawling on all fours to standing up and walking. "When Mac was well enough to throw a three year-old style temper tantrum we all stood back and shouted, "Bravo"," said Steegstra. According to Steegstra, the children are well taken care of in conditions that may not be ideal but that are certainly better than they heard about in other parts of the country. "They are fed Boeey, a mixture that helps prevent malnutrition and provides them with necessary vitamins and minerals," she said. When Steegstra first arrived at the orphanage she noted that it wasn't as joyous a place as it had been on her initial visit four years earlier — the earthquake no doubt had shifted the mood. "It seemed a forlorn place and the nannies were a bit down," she said. "But by the end of the week the light-heartedness appeared to be returning. The nannies really appreciated that we were there, they were able to see first hand that people care about what is happening." In fact, whether the women would make the journey to Haiti in the days following the earthquake were never in doubt. "When I first heard, I thought there is even more reason to go now. We took it day by day waiting for word from the field operators at the infant home. We felt that the need to take money and goods was even greater," said Steegstra. "For the group the trip went from having an experience to we got to go and help with what we can." The group did not travel lightly. They took with them six hockey bags of infant items and clothing collected at two baby showers held in the fall of 2009 in London and Bayfield respectively. These were organized by Judith Higgs, of Bayfield and her daughter, Tara O'Hagan, of London. They also had five more bags filled with supplies donated by local hospitals and Pharmasave Michael's Pharmacy in Bayfield. And also divided amongst the group in money belts strapped close to their skin was $8,000 U.S. This money came from countless concerned cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfieldBreezeWeek8lssue33/tabid/282/Default.aspx 9/12 6/18/2019 Bayfield Breeze - Week 8 Issue 33 Mac shows that one of the quilts donated from the local baby showers, held in Bayfield and London in honor of the orphans, is being put to good use. l Steegstra bears witness to Mac's first smile.

But as time progressed they accessed through his skill level that he was about three years - old. citizens, local churches and Steegstra's workplace. "The outpouring of support was tremendous from many sources. The Seaforth office staff of the South Western Community Care Access Centre, where I am employed, went around the workplace and collected $300 US cash for us to take," she said. She noted that she was extremely nervous traveling with that much cash but new that it was one of the most needed items they could bring to COTP for their daily operations. She also stated that it was very rewarding to see each of the children being fast -tracked to their adopted homes leaving with a package of new clothing for their travels. Steegstra said that as she had spearheaded this trip she felt a certain amount of responsibility for the women traveling with her. "They are an amazing group of women — they all brought a variety of talents to share and their being at COTP really served a purpose, we noticed that in the children they were assigned to work with," she said. "The women learned a lot about themselves and caring for others. They all agreed that you need to be strong to go there. "It was an experience of a lifetime. It changes your view on what it means to be a Christian. There are no color barriers when it comes to loving children." Steegstra is already planning to return to COTP, hopefully in May, and this time would like to make the trip with her daughter, Kate, and any other people who show an interest. The women are currently in the process of compiling their pictures to create a presentation on their trip. They would be more than happy to share their experiences with organizations or groups in the community that would like to learn more. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfieldBreezeWeek8lssue33/tabid/282/Default.aspx 10/12 6/18/2019 Bayfield Breeze - Week 8 Issue 33 " . l Every volunteer who visits COTP is assigned an infant to care for.
