ALL ANYONE NEEDS FOR THE HOME
AND GARDEN AT LIONS' SHOW
BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER
The Bayfield Lions' Club's Home and Garden Show, now in its 15th year, will bring together
talents specializing in everything for your home both inside and out, Apr. 27-29.
"It really is one stop shopping," said Charles Kalbfleisch, chair of the Bayfield Lions' Club Home
and Garden Show Committee, when speaking of the show's organization. "There are exhibitors
from all over Ontario trying to get in but we like to stress local Huron County people."
There are 70 exhibitors registered for the show from across Huron County. The only time the
Huron County mandate is relaxed is if the product the exhibitor is specializing in can't be
obtained in the local area.
The show, which takes over the Bayfield Community Centre and Arena, also features interior
decorators, renovation specialists, hot tub and pool dealers, and a cross section of household
necessities from furnishings to lawn mowers. Plus the growing trend to enhance a homes value
through curb appeal will be highlighted by the landscape designers and garden specialists who
will take part in the show.
Attendance at the show ranges from 2,500 to 4,000 visitors the fluctuation in numbers very
often being weather and gas price dependent. Aside from Huron County residents, people from
such locales as Sarnia, Stratford, London and Woodstock often attend the show.
"People say they enjoy coming to our show because it is smaller than the big city shows and
they get an opportunity to talk to the professionals directly. The exhibitors like it because it
often generates work for them," he said.
There is no admission fee and those who attend and fill out a ballot will have a chance at two
great door prizes. Bayfield Foodland has generously donated a $500 food voucher and the
Bayfield Garage a propane gas barbecue.
For those who work up an appetite touring the exhibits a lunch counter is provided upstairs
featuring home style cooking and pies. There will also be entertainment for the children with a
This sale is scheduled for May 12 from 9-11 a.m.

with the exception of the Sunday on which there will be a 2 p.m. matinee performance.

parenting and the aging process.

TRY POLE WALKING FOR A FULL BODY WORK-OUT
PHOTOS BY ROGER LEWINGTON AND
STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -
POUNDER
For a couple years now Pole Walking has been
promoted in the village as a great fitness
opportunity. Experts consider it to be a low -
impact, full body workout.

Pole Walking can be a fun social experience as well as great exercise. Avid local pole walkers, Pat Lewington,
Margo Robeson, Roberta Stemp, Nancy Arthur-Ische, Lynne Gillians, Rosalind Westwood with Havik, the dog,
and Kate Lloyd -Rees shared their enthusiasm for their chosen fitness activity with the crowd during the Bayfield
Santa Claus Parade held in November 2011. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder)
The Women's Pole Walking Group warms up in Clan Gregor Square before their jaunt around the village. The
group gathers on Tuesdays and Thursdays. All walks begin from 6 Main Street and begin at 8:30 a.m. Poles are
provided free for those who require them. Coming in May a couple new Pole Walking groups will be organized at
different times of day to accommodate more people.
Currently, walks for women are held on Tuesdays
and Thursdays while walks for men are held on
Monday and Friday mornings. All walks begin
from 6 Main Street and begin at 8:30 a.m. Poles
are provided free for those who require them.
A new class, "Gentle Jaunters", will be starting in
May, a time will be announced soon but it should
be noted that it wouldn't be too early in the day.
Also starting in May, an introduction to Pole
Walking will be offered with individualized
instruction. There is no charge for this and poles
can be provided.
"We will be happy to offer one on one Pole
Walking instruction in early May. We are trying to
get as many people as we can to try this great
activity," said Pat Lewington of Bayfield, a Pole
Walking enthusiast. "They can call 519 565-2202
or 519 565-5638 and leave their name and
number and we will set up some training times. It
is best if people get some individual training
before they start Pole Walking."
In addition, an afternoon, leisurely Pole Walking
session will begin in May. It will be held after 5
p.m. so that people who work during the day can
participate. More information will follow, as the
month grows closer.
Pole Walking combines the aerobic and strength -
building benefits of cross-country skiing with the
convenience of walking in your own
neighborhood. It is known to improve posture and
reduce stress on knees and other joints as well as
increasing the cardiovascular effectiveness of a
walking workout.
Check out http://www.urbanpoling.com/ or "urban
poling 1 - youtube" for more information about this
great fitness activity.
Free, individual Pole Walking instruction will be
offered to potential new enthusiasts in May.

Week 17 Issue 146
s __•
Any men in the community who would like to combine some fitness in the great outdoors with some fun
socializing should consider the Men's Polewalking Group. They walk on Mondays and Fridays starting at 6 Main
Street at 8:30 a.m. for about an hour. Poles are provided. Good weather is sometimes optional.
Bronwyn Bechard, Gayle Detenbeck, Mary Thomson and Linda Reid make their way down Cameron Street . Pole
Walking combines the aerobic and strength -building benefits of cross-country skiing with the convenience of
walking in your own neighborhood.

Here we are smack in the middle of National Volunteer Week — curious about the role volunteerism plays in this country I did a
little research. Here is what I learned via online articles:
According to the latest numbers from Statistics Canada, almost half of Canadians do volunteer work.
In 2010, 47 percent of Canadians were volunteers; that is the equivalent of 13.3 million people. In total, 2.1 billion hours were
donated to volunteer activities, the equivalent of 1.1 million full-time jobs.
Of those volunteers, 10 percent of them accounted for a whopping 53 percent of the volunteer hours. (That's 390 hours
dedicated to their volunteering positions each.)

And most of them were recorded in Bayfield and area. (Well, I made that part up but if you read the Bayfield Breeze each week you will no doubt agree
just how volunteer driven our community is.)
If we all logged our volunteer hours for a month I wonder what fantastic numbers we could generate?
I was excited to publish an article about the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal this week — I hope everyone will take the time to nominate people in their
volunteer organizations of choice for this deserving recognition. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to show our area volunteers how much they are
appreciated.
My Guiding Girls may not have realized that it was National Volunteer Week but they presented me with two homemade cards at our meeting last night.
Such a lovely way to say thanks. These truly brightened my day. Their thanks was given from the heart and no volunteer can ask for more. - Melody
