The following was noted at the presentation: This world class Inn, established in 1832, has been welcoming visitors to Bayfield and Huron County for a very long time.

Stellar hospitality has been their trademark. They have also promoted the wider Huron County experience by encouraging and promoting theatre packages, guided hiking and fly-fishing, theatre and a number of other unique county experiences.

Their presentation will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Bayfield Town Hall followed by an 8 p.m. presentation of the film, "The Way". The movie has been described as a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends, and the challenges people face while navigating this ever- changing and complicated world. Martin Sheen plays Tom, an American doctor, who comes to St. Jean Pied de Port in France to collect the remains of his adult son (played by Emilio Estevez), killed in the Pyrenees in a storm while walking The Way of Saint James. Rather than return home. Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. The Way of St. James is the pilgrimage to the cathedral, where legend has it that the remains of the apostle, Saint James the Great, are buried. St. James' Way has existed for over 1,000 years. It was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times. It is believed that his remains were carried by boat from Jerusalem to northern Spain where they were buried on the site of what is now the city of Santiago de Compostela. There is no single route; the Way can take one of any number of pilgrimage routes to the cathedral including through Portugal, Spain, England, France and Switzerland. The distances vary widely from a couple of hundred kilometers to over a thousand kilometers. During the Middle Ages, the route was highly traveled. However, the Black Plague, the Protestant Reformation and political unrest in 16th -century Europe resulted in its decline. By the 1980s, only a few pilgrims arrived in Santiago annually. However, since then, the route has attracted a growing number of modern-day pilgrims from around the globe. BAXIULD LIONS' HOME AND GARDEN SHOW THIS WEEKEND 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.

Aside from Huron County residents, people from such locales as Sarnia, Stratford, London and Woodstock often attend the show.

(Submitted photo) The BHC offers April's "Heritage Feature of the Month", the house at Lamont Heritage Farm. In 1846, William Lamond came to Huron with his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. William Duke, as he was an orphan. They built their first log cabin near the present road, but it burned to the ground. Sadly the original deed was also destroyed in the fire. At this point another log cabin was erected. Around this time William Lamond married Jein Campbell of Hamilton. A second log cabin was built for William and his bride. The couple had four boys and two girls. She was left on her own with these children as William died suddenly of galloping consumption. Thankfully the couple had been saving lumber for a home prior to his death so Jein was able to have a frame house constructed in 1867. After its construction she married her hired hand and six more children, four girls and two boys, were born. The new house was a vast improvement over the log cabin and certainly much roomier for the twelve children while they all still resided there. The boys had the south rooms upstairs and the girls the north side. There were two bedrooms in the south side downstairs as well. The old house has seen many changes. In 1912, William Lamont the Second (note the spelling of the surname changed) added an upstairs to the back kitchen. Sadly he lost his dear wife Agnes McKinley Lamont when she fell through the floor and hit her head on the kitchen stove. In the late 1920s, after the death of their daughter, the third generation of the family to live there, William (Roy) and Jessie Lamont, removed the drafty hall downstairs by changing the stairs around. They rearranged the rooms downstairs and made a bathroom upstairs. Electricity was added to the home in 1939. The fourth generation residents, Margaret Lamont and Melvin Elliott, dug out under the kitchen installed a furnace and insulated the home. Joan Elliott and Evert Van Sligtenhorst are fifth generation occupants. They completely reinsulated the house and added an addition to the front. They now wait for the sixth generation to love the home as much as they do.

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. For a couple years now Pole Walking has been promoted in the village as a great fitness opportunity. Currently, walks for women are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays while walks for men are held on Monday and Friday mornings.

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. ges"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.

The silent auction is always a hit at the show. Area merchants and friends of the BHS provide an array of valuable items. The bidding is frantic just prior to 4 p.m. Sunday when the auction closes. A food booth is also provided for visitors who work up an appetite bidding and browsing. Nancy Scotchmer and her team, worked hard to provide a delicious and nutritious food service over the course of the weekend. With the 2012 at an end, preparations will soon be underway for next years event. The BHS membership hopes all will look forward to attending the thirteen Annual Collector Show and Exhibition in April 2013 cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Weekl81ssuel47/tabid/558/Default.aspx 9/13 5/28/2019 Week 18 Issue 147 Art Bell, of Goderich (right) was just one of the individuals who stopped to talk to exhibitor Dorothy Schneider (left) during the Collector's Show on the afternoon of Apr. 22. Dorothy, along with her husband, Jim, had an exhibit of butter making utensils and local vintage ice cream advertising. John Fisher, who died in October 2011, was a regular exhibitor at the BHS Collector Show and Exhibition. He was also a folk artist. A display of the many pieces he gave to family over the years comprised both a delightful exhibit and tribute to his talent.

This is collector Marg Webster's favorite of the many cameras she possesses. David Onn, of Blyth (right) discusses Coca Cola collectibles and trains with Pete Raidt, of Clinton.

OPTIMIST IST SUBMISSIONS BAYFIELD Just three more sleeps until I head to the Ontario Science Centre for an overnight adventure with my Guiding sisters. The excitement was palpable at our regular meeting last night. Of course conducting a science experiment and making "blue goo" as a result only added to the thrill of our upcoming year-end adventure. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Weekl81ssuel47/tabid/558/Default.aspx 12/13 5/28/2019 Melody Falconer -Pounder Week 18 Issue 147 This is my first Science Centre overnight but not the first time I've got to sleep in some extraordinary places thanks to being a Guider. I've slept on the "Serengeti" at the Toronto Zoo Bush Camp awakening to the strains of The Lion King theme at 6 a.m. I've laid down to rest on the Astroturf at the Roger's Centre when it was the Skydome, snuggled up in my sleeping bag to watch "Ice Age" on the Jumbotron. And I've enjoyed an overnight at the John Labatt Centre when the Lipizzaner horses performed at the facility. These adventures are all standouts in my Guiding career and I look forward to adding this next experience to my list. Better get packing! - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
