There is no charge but donations are welcome at the door. Butterfield is the author of the recently released, "Mexico Behind the Mask". According to evening organizers, the book is especially timely in light of current events related to US - Mexican immigration issues, the drug war along the border, and the North American Free Trade Agreement. Butterfield went to Mexico with Time Inc. in 1962 and has lived there ever since, enabling him to provide a unique perspective on the country's history, culture and economy. The author traces Mexico's tangled history from the early arrival of the Aztecs to their fall at the hands of Hernan Cortes, from the Mexican Revolution to the disastrous agrarian reform measures, and from Mexico's standing as one of the wealthiest countries in the world to its status, until recently, as a member of the third world. Butterfield was born and raised in Argentina but attended school in the United States. He has represented the Financial Times and Business Week in Mexico for more than twenty years. He has also published two novels in Mexico "The Crystal Bull" and "The Line/La Linea". He lives in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Mary Brown, owner of The Village Bookshop is pleased to see another international author coming to speak in Bayfield. "These kind of events enrich our village life," she said. The BHS membership is excited that Butterfield has agreed to come to Bayfield and encourages villagers to attend this interesting evening. Beldon Butterfield update.

ABCA GENERAL MANAGER ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT Tom Prout, general manager and secretary -treasurer of Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority, is shown in front of the office of the administration centre at Morrison Dam Conservation Area, east of Exeter. After more than three decades in the top job at the local conservation authority, and four decades in the conservation field, Prout has announced he will be retiring at the end of the year. His resignation was accepted, with regret, on Sept. 12 at the board of directors meeting. (Submitted photo) The general manager and secretary -treasurer of Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) announced on Sept. 12 that he will retire at the end of the year, after more than three decades at the top job of the local conservation authority. "I give credit to everybody I've met along the way," Tom Prout, said in an interview, outside the office at Morrison Dam Conservation Area, east of Exeter. "I've learned something from all of them." He looked back on his career and called it satisfying and he said he "owes a debt of gratitude" to the people he has met and with whom he has worked. Prout has devoted forty years to work in the conservation field and 32 of those years have been spent as General Manager at ABCA. "I have had the pleasure of working with very supportive board members, very committed and passionate staff, and very interested and exciting community groups," he said in a letter to the board of directors. He congratulated the board and staff for programs and projects that have made people more aware of their local environment and have improved the health of the watershed. Some people are voted "most likely to succeed" in their yearbook. Prout's Grade 8 yearbook actually said he was "most likely to be manager" of the conservation authority. He attended one This fall is the 100th anniversary of the Great Lakes Storm of November 1913. This storm was the deadliest and most destructive natural disaster ever to hit the lakes. The storm killed more than 250 people, destroyed 19 ships and stranded 19 others. Immense cargoes of coal, iron ore, and grain were lost. Pieces of the wrecks have surfaced along our coast for the past 100 years. The Great Lakes Storm 1913 Remembrance Committee has organized a series of nine media presentations and talks about the storm to take place every Thursday from now until Nov. 7. The nine events will be held at the Huron County Museum in Goderich starting at 7:30 p.m. Refreshments and snacks will be served beforehand. The price is $5 at the door or $30 for the series. The Bayfield Historical Society is sponsoring one of these presentations on Oct. 3, entitled, "The Weather Bomb of Early November 1913" presented by Jay Campbell, noted meteorologist. Other titles in the series are: Sailing Blind, Sept. 19; Discovery of the Regina & Price, Sept. 26; Lake Fury, Storms of the Century, Oct. 10; Images of Goderich Harbour, Oct. 17; Overview of the November Storm of 1913, Oct. 24; and finally, the Edmond Fitzgerald Investigations on Nov. 7. Also in support of the 100th year Storm remembrance, Barb Durand, a BHS board member, is using her graphic arts skills to create an authentic shipwreck map of Lake Huron showing the vessels lost in the Great Storm. The map will be on display at the Bayfield Archives in late September.

He planted trees over the years, cut grass and worked at conservation area gatehouses and was part of the writing of the first report for the Bayfield River Watershed. The Chairman of the ABCA Board of Directors, Dave Frayne, said the board accepted Prout's resignation "with regret." He said one of Prout's many strengths as a manager is hiring people who combine positive attitude with job skills. "Tom has helped to build an organization where staff members work effectively together and with the community," Frayne said. "He will be retiring with the knowledge that there is a strong and experienced staff in place, clear direction from the community through the Conservation Strategy, and a responsible long-term approach to financial management through the five-year budget planning process." A human resources committee will recommend how to proceed to fill the position and the board plans to advertise for a replacement before the end of the year. "It is impossible to fully replace the knowledge and experience that Tom brings but the board is confident he has helped cultivate a positive and well-functioning organization that has the tools and capacity to make a smooth and successful transition to a new era," Frayne said. ABCA works closely with landowners and residents in the watershed to protect soil, water, and living things by creating awareness and taking positive action in partnership. ABCA is an independent, corporate body established under Ontario's Conservation Authorities Act. Local municipalities identified the need for such an organization in 1946 to deal with serious problems of flooding, soil erosion, water supply and quality. Twelve member municipalities name the members of the local board of directors that governs ABCA. This local conservation agency was the first of 36 conservation authorities formed across Ontario. ABCA's area encompasses the drainage basins of the Ausable River, Bayfield River, Parkhill Creek, and the gullies that drain directly to Lake Huron, from an area north of Bayfield to an area south of Grand Bend. The 2,440 -square -kilometre area of jurisdiction is largely rural with a population of about 45,000. A group of 34 community members met every month for a year to create a Conservation Strategy to guide the organization. As part of that process, they carved out a mission and vision for the agency: Mission - Protect, improve, conserve, and restore the watershed in partnership with the community. Vision - Healthy watersheds where our needs and the needs of the natural environment are in balance. WILSON ENDS RUN AS CARETAKER After more than 20 years of service to the Bayfield Town Hall, Alan Wilson has retired from his position as Caretaker. "Over the years Alan has not only taken exceptional care of the building, often performing tasks which were well beyond the scope of his role, he has also been a font of information for newcomers to the Board on the history of the hall and the many events that have taken place there over the years," said Kate Lloyd -Rees, president of the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society. "We are sure that both past and present Board Members will join us in thanking Alan for his dedication and loyalty to the Town Hall and in passing on our best wishes for his retirement," she added. The BTHHS is now in the process of seeking a replacement for Wilson. They would welcome enquiries from anyone who may be interested in this part-time position. For more information, please contact Lloyd -Rees at 519 565-4404 or Sandy Scotchmer at 519 565-2830.

The event, themed "A Celebration of Fall", is being promoted to photographers of all abilities. Gary Lloyd -Rees, co -president of the PCoB said, "As we approach the FFF event weekend, now less than two weeks away, we continue to work closely with the local community groups partnering with us on the afternoon photo walks: the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association; Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce; Friends of the Bayfield River; and the Bayfield Lions' Club." Local restaurants and accommodation providers are also preparing to welcome the more than 70 photographers each day from across Southwestern Ontario who will be attending the event. Lloyd -Rees added, "A number of the workshops are now at, or near capacity; however, we do still have several spaces in the "Capturing the Image: Beyond the Auto Setting" option on the Sunday. The workshop for this particular option will be given by Bill and Deb Hall and, although suitable for photographers of all abilities, would be particularly beneficial for any local resident who wants to get a better understanding of how they can use the various settings on their digital camera to better "capture the image". You can attend the event on just one day and even if you have never attended a photography course or workshop before you will be very quickly put at ease in this one." In the afternoon, a guided themed photo walk led by the Halls and partnered by the Bayfield Lions' Club will enable the workshop participants to put their newfound skills into action.

A stop at the water station on Tuyll near Howard Street was a highlight for the boys. Participants in the Terry Fox Run kept volunteers, Livian Gould Gerber and Tara Hessel, busy during registration. PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Terry Fox famously said about his Marathon of Hope that, "Even if I don't finish, we need others to continue. It's got to keep going on without me". On the morning of Sept. 15 several people joined together to keep hope alive in Bayfield raising $3,500 for the Terry Fox Foundation. The Foundation is responsible for supporting close to $20 million in research each year in Canada. The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) sponsored the Fifth Annual Terry Fox Run in the village. In the five years for the Bayfield run an inspiring $19,000 has been raised. Participants ran, walked, wheeled and cycled a choice of 2 KM, 5KM or 10 KM routes — the longer route taking in the picturesque Sawmill Trail maintained by the BRVTA. We had a great turn out for the Terry Fox run again and a lot of new participants that was great to see!" said event organizer, Heidi Hessel. "Thanks to all for the generous donations and to the people working to collect various pledges." She also acknowledged the many volunteers that help each year with the event from the registrars to the Marshalls. Volunteers Tamara Hein -rich (left) and Taryn Siertsema kept Terry Fox Run participants hydrated when they stopped at the water station at the corner of Tuyll and Howard Streets. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek391ssue220/tabid/632/Default.aspx 8/13 5/31/2019 Week 39 Issue 220 Heidi Hessel, run organizer for the BRVTA, outlines the route choices to participants. It was an overcast day but not too cold for the 33rd annual Terry Fox Run and Bayfield's fifth. Cyclists, bladers, walkers and runners all departed along their route of choice from Clan Gregor Square to aid in the raising of funds for the Terry Fox Foundation. It is the Terry Fox Foundation's single mission to fund innovative cancer research. It funds research in many types of cancers such as lung, ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic, oral, and liver. Those who participate in the annual run aid in this mission. Terry Fox's run lasted 143 days from Apr. 12 to Sept. 1, 1980 - but his dream of finding a cure for cancer keeps bodies in motion 33 years on during the annual event held in his memory. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek391ssue220/tabid/632/Default.aspx 9/13 5/31/2019 Week 39 Issue 220 Five kilometres is really far - especially with training wheels - but Brennan Erb proved to be up for the challenge. Terry, himself, would have been proud of his effort. Members of the Vanderhaar family walked together along the 5 KM route during Bayfield's 5th Annual Terry Fox Run. Money raised from the Bayfield run will go to the Terry Fox Foundation. It is responsible for supporting close to $20 million in research each year in Canada. Participants could choose from 2 KM, 5KM or 10 KM routes. The longer route taking in the picturesque Sawmill Trail maintained by the BRVTA.

It's kind of sad but I can't remember if I've ever been to one before — I asked my Mom if she could recall. She couldn't. I do, however, have a silver charm on my charm bracelet from the event when it was held in Wingham. I don't think I went to it though — I think my parents brought me back the charm as a present when they went as I had school. I couldn't find the year for the Wingham match on- line but if memory serves it was in the late 70s or early 80s because I feel like I was nearing high school when I got that particular charm. I am hoping that my attendance at the event will trigger some memory of being at a Plowing Match — it is hard to believe that a girl who was raised on a dairy farm has never been to one. My "city boy" husband thinks he's been to two! I really shouldn't tease him about his roots as he has lived in a lot of places both big and small. And after all he has milked a cow! So have I for that matter. That is one part of country life I do remember - vividly! Here's hoping for a memorable 100th match whether it is my first or not. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
