UNITED WAY
On Jan. 31, United Way of Perth -Huron's staff and
volunteers are taking to the roads of Perth and Huron
Counties, in the "Care -A -Van of Hope" in an effort to
bridge a $65,000 campaign gap. They will visit nine
communities in Perth and Huron Counties where
they will share this year's stories of change and
accept donations in the "hope" of attaining their goal.
The United Way of Perth -Huron has set a goal of
raising $1,082,012 for their 2012 campaign.
Executive Director, Ryan Erb explained, "We needed
to increase the campaign goal this year, to address
the increased needs of the people. Some of our
clients continue to struggle with after-effects of the
tornado; others face employment issues. We support
agencies that give people the tools they need to
overcome these struggles. We are asking people,
more than ever, to dig a little deeper and give hope to

Winter can seem like a long unforgiving season
sometimes so to combat the blahs associated with
this time of year the congregations of the village's
four local churches joined together to offer "Take
Time in 2013". The fifth year of programs provided
the perfect opportunity for friends and neighbors to
learn and share with one another.
Knox Presbyterian Church will host the final session
on Feb. 4 at the Bayfield Town Hall. Darren Erb,
sommelier and innkeeper at the Little Inn of Bayfield,
will share his knowledge in a presentation entitled,
"Ontario Wines VQA Appreciation" and there will be
wines to sample as well.
Erb has worked in the restaurant business for over
eighteen years. He has been at The Little Inn of
Bayfield for ten years and is currently the manager.
These past seven years he has been particularly
involved with viticulture. He has become passionate
about wine, so much so that he has studied for and
passed the Sommelier's course and is now a fully
qualified sommelier.
He grew up in Brucefield and has worked across
Canada from Montreal to Vancouver. In 1994 he
worked at "Spagos", a small restaurant situated in
the village where the current Our Thai Restaurant
now resides. He lives in Bayfield with his partner and
six year old son.
The program will be held from 1:30-3 p.m. The cost
to attend is $3. Want to go but don't have
transportation? Call Barb Harkins session
coordinator to arrange a ride. She can be contacted
at 519 565-2098.

About 165 people headed to the Bayfield Arena
and Community Centre on Saturday night to enjoy
Canada's game at its grass roots best.
All thoughts of NHL lockouts and shortened
seasons were forgotten when 94.5 The Bull
Tryhards took to the ice against Team Bayfield for
three periods of hockey. The Tryhards, comprised
of radio personalities and professional players,
were the winners with a final score of 7-4. But
even more important than the score was how
much money the event raised for the Bayfield
Optimist Club's "Making A Splash" Campaign.
Early estimates are about $4,000 was garnered to
help bring a Splash Pad to Clan Gregor Square.
During the first intermission the young members
of the Timbits hockey program entertained the
crowd. At the second intermission a Shoot-out
Competition as well as a Chuck -A -Puck was
held.
The Bayfield Skating Club was called to help at
the event with the members selling pizza,
hotdogs, popcorn, and pop both inside at the food
booth and in the arena stands. In keeping with the
flavor of a NHL game the club also sold souvenir
t -shirts, pucks and mini -sticks all emblazed with
the "Hockey Night in Bayfield" logo.
Professional hockey player, Cal O'Reilly was
invited to make the 50/50 draw at the end of game
— the lucky winner was Dave Overboe of Bayfield.
And in the spirit of the evening he used his
winnings to purchase a brick - another aspect of
the "Making A Splash" campaign.
The Bayfield Lions' Club members were also
recruited to help at the event. They sold squares
on a Guy LaFleur jersey that caused some

excitement among fans of the Montreal
Canadians. Hockey fans of every ilk had the
opportunity to bid on more than 25 items at the
Silent Auction as numerous autographed hockey
items were also up for grabs.
"This truly was a community event," said Tracey
Johnston, chair of the Hockey Night in Bayfield
Committee. "I am indebted to the Committee, as
we did a lot of planning and a lot of work before,
at and after this event. I would like to offer special
thanks to the Friends of Optimists, Pete Payne,
Mike Henry and Kelly Gerger-Wise for being a
part of the committee and the event's success."
The event concluded with an Age of Majority
Dance and Social Time — the perfect opportunity
for the players and fans to "discuss" the game!

SUBMISSIONS
Remarkable! That is the one word I would use to describe our recent trip to Costa Rica, specifically the Nosara area
on the Pacific Coast. While I could wax on endlessly about the beauty of the country, the friendliness and helpfulness
of the Costa Ricans and their great appreciation for their natural environment and education, it was the experiences I
had communing with nature there that will linger.
When we arrived at our hill top villa nestled among the trees and tropical foliage we discovered a troop of Howler
Monkeys in an adjacent Balsa Tree. Now that was quite the welcome. The next night around 4 p.m. the same troop of
about 14 monkeys of all ages returned to the tree. Their haunting call (a little like the MGM Lion's roar) would wake
us as the sun rose in the morning. I would sit in a chair on our front porch and photograph them until the sun set in
the evenings. They would hang out, eat of the Balsa Trees leaves and flowers, play a little and throw stuff around or
just sit and stare back at me. Some nights there would be only a Ione young male who would visit — probably having
Melody Falconer -Pounder been booted from the troop and needing to establish his own. The last night they came to the villa was near the end
of our vacation and instead of hanging out for the evening they showed us how they move off — circling the property
from tree to tree all in a line following the same route together jumping from branch to branch.
These amazing creatures have their challenges thanks to habitat loss and
human progress. Hydro came to the area about 20 years ago but the lines
were not insulated. With the loss of trees from construction this made the
lines an alternative for the monkeys to travel through the trees — sadly the
result was electrocution, severe injury or more often death. Today wildlife
rehabilitation centers are working with the hydro company to insulate the
lines to lessen the dangers for the monkeys. We were lucky enough to visit
one of these wildlife centers and as my sister-in-law works for a wildlife rehab
in Marin County, California (near San Francisco) she was able to take a box
of supplies including burn salve and bandages to help the local rescue out.
We saw orphaned monkeys, amputees and those recovering from severe Click to enable Adobe Flash Player
burns who with a little time and a lot of caring will one day be released back
into the wild. And after sitting on my porch watching these monkeys moving
freely from limb to limb I know for certain that is where they need to be, living
the "pure life". Pura Vida! — Melody
P.S. The slideshow attached is a selection of images I took of the Howler
Monkeys that came to visit. They preferred the flowering Balsa Tree at the
front of the villa the best. We were lucky to have seen so many of these
monkeys and with such frequency — we were told some people spend their entire vacation waiting to see them but only hear them.
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m.
