(Submitted photo) The Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) recently unveiled a first for the county — a Commerce and Community Directory in Clan Gregor Square. The new sign is a partnership with the BACC and Huron County. Similar directories will appear in other communities in the future. The directory is a map of the core business area in Bayfield and has business and community listings. The directory will provide an easy to find listing and location of businesses, services and community buildings. According to Roger Lewington of the BACC, "The unique advantage of this directory design is that the map can easily be changed to be up to date." The Huron Economic Development Partnership Management Team is led by, Chair, John Grace. He said, "The commerce maps are a new twist on a proven model, they are low cost and they will yield extraordinary benefits to businesses in Huron County." Lewington concluded, "We had a delegation of BACC members looking for a directory and we worked with Huron County Business Development and HEDP to make it happen. We are very appreciative of their insight and support of the project." A second directory in Bayfield is tentatively planned for the coming year, as well as other locations in Huron County.

The chest replete with toys was unveiled at the Homes for the Holiday Tour and on display in the village during Christmas in Bayfield weekend festivities.

The VHS staff took a moment away from their desks to join in the presentation. The donation will be used to help get those sprinklers spraying in Clan Gregor Square in the summer of 2013. The Optimists have now begun their door-to-door canvas of the community to collect donations for the $150,000 plus project. (Submitted photo) The Bayfield Optimist Club's "Making a Splash" Campaign is now ongoing in the community Club members and "Friends of Optimists" will be going door-to-door to talk to people about the Splash Pad project and provide them with a letter explaining how they can contribute. The Municipality of Bluewater will provide tax receipts for donations over $25. This letter will offer details on how people can purchase an engraved brick or park bench to aid in the fundraising. Canvassers will be wearing "name tags" identifying themselves as being part of the campaign. Brick walkways similar in design to the existing Bayfield Town Hall and the Clan Gregor Square walkways will be installed around the Splash Pad giving the project a timeless and cohesive look. If all goes according to plan, the club hopes to have the sprinklers spraying in the park by Canada Day 2013. MUNICIPALITY SUPPORTS QUEST FOR COMMUNITY SAFETY ZONE The Bayfield Ratepayers Association (BRA) exists to: represent the interests of permanent and summer residents; maintain the desirable residential features of the village; keep members informed of matters that affect them as ratepayers/tenants; and to foster projects in the interest of the municipality as a whole. "The council for the Municipality of Bluewater unanimously voted to support the BRA in their quest for Bayfield to receive a Community Safety Zone designation through the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO)," said Sondra Buchner, BRA member. The BRA will now proceed to make application to the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services for this designation. If granted drivers through Bayfield when caught speeding may pay up to double the fine. In addition, the BRA has asked the MTO to make some traffic safety changes on Hwy. 21 including: lower speed limits, paved shoulders for safe passage of cyclists and walkers as well as a "hidden intersection" sign at the entrance of Short Hill Road. The MTO is still at the deliberating stage for these requests. The BRA will hold their next Board Meeting on Dec. 1 at 9 a.m. in the Bayfield Lions' Community Building. All are welcome to attend. Ainslie Willock, chair of the BRA reports that one forward thinking Bayfield Ratepayers Association member recently bought memberships for her adult children as Christmas gifts. of inclement weather the concert will be held on Dec. 7. The London Citadel Band got its start in 1883. By the early 1900s the band was in demand and performed in such cities as Windsor and Detroit. In the last 129 years the groups' horizons have broadened considerably and they have traveled to England twice as well as the west coast of Canada and parts of the USA. Bandmaster John Lam, a native of Owen Sound, joined the band in 1985. Ten years later he became Bandmaster and that year he brought the band to the town hall. Since then they have returned annually except for one year when they were "snowed out". Show time is 8 p.m. and tickets are selling for $10 per person. For tickets call Charles Kalbfleisch at 519 565-2244 or Patricia McDougall at 519 565-2572 or online at ticketscene.ca.

A projection system allowed for the pages of the book to come to life on a large screen as it was read aloud. Anyone who missed The Glee Sisters performance of "The Gingerbread Pirates" can catch it again on Nov. 23 at 1 p.m. at the Day Centre in Goderich or at Goderich Place at 3 p.m. BAYFIELD *iax -0- Afti f spray Fbam WHITXSWI tIle opTiMIST r4rAsrius Arlene Timmons as Santa Claus.

I've always been fairly content with the stellar ones I have until the local Optimist Club entered the Aviva Community Fund Competition. There just doesn't seem to be enough people to recruit to get the numbers we need to make it into the Top 10 of the final round of voting. Still we're like the little engine that could. We started things off on Oct. 1 and have gradually added votes and supporters each round. In fact if there was a round four I think we could pull it off. We currently sit 27th out of 564 projects entered in the $100,000 to $150,000 category. Not bad for a community of 1,000 people up against some larger centers. To make it into the Top 10 we need to more than double our votes. But we still have six days. We have the power of social media and email and saying to those folks we encounter face-to-face, "Hey have you voted for the Splash Pad yet?" I may not have enough friends alone but my friends have friends and you reading this you have friends too. Please invite them to register and vote for the Clan Gregor Square Splash Pad for Youth project in the Aviva Community Fund Competition. All you need is an email address; if privacy is a concern, create an email address expressly for the competition, this is what I did. Only together can we make it to the Semi Finals that start Dec. 3 and only if all of our friends remember to vote not just once but once everyday for the next six days — voting closes Nov. 26 at noon. - Melody P.S.
