There are several yummy reasons why someone would venture into The Pink Flamingo Bakery and Boutique on the village's Main Street on any weekend of the year... but owner Erin Bolger has sweetened the pot for a good cause over the Christmas in Bayfield weekend. From Nov. 8-10, she will be donating a portion of sales to the Huron County Christmas Bureau from cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week461ssue227/tabid/640/Default.aspx 1/13 5/31/2019 Week 46 Issue 227 This coin etched with the name of a corporal as well as his army number is from the WWII era. It was found recently on the other side of the world. It once belonged to a prisoner of war who became a Grand Bend resident - any remaining family members are now being sought to see if they would like it. (Submitted photos) Seventy-two years ago a young soldier etched his name on a coin. Thanks to the "world wide web" the story doesn't end there. A few weeks ago the Editor of the Bayfield Breeze received a communication from Elizabeth Burton a resident of Perth, Western Australia wondering if we might help her track down the family of Howard P. Lansing. Burton had "Googled" him and his name appeared in the Bayfield Breeze published Nov. 3, 2010 (Issue 70). A story in the Remember Me Section of this publication, based on a picture of Eric Earl, had conjured up a memory that Abby Armstrong had shared with readers. Armstrong's story provided insights into Earl's time as a prisoner of war during WWII when he shared what he could with his fellow soldiers — his incredible voice. "I remember my grandfather, Brig. Dr. Morgan Smith, telling me Eric used to slip out of wherever he was detained as a prisoner of war and sneak in to the prisoners' hospital to give encouragement to badly wounded allied soldiers, sometimes singing to them. There was one soldier he sang and spoke to regularly who wasn't expected to live. Sometime later, at a party at my grandfather's (in Bayfield) there was a highly emotional scene when, by amazing coincidence, that badly wounded soldier recognized Eric's voice and had an opportunity to thank him for saving his life. The man said that it was Eric, secretly visiting him, that gave him the will to live. purchases of her signature "Pink Lemonade" Series of baked goods — the Pink Flamingo Cupcake, Sandwich Cookie and Square. The store will be open extended hours over the weekend, visit their website www.thepinkflamingobakery.com for more details. The Pink Flamingo Bakery and Boutique opened in the spring and is brought to the community by Bolger, author of the award-winning, best-selling cookbook "The Happy Baker — A Dater's Guide to Emotional Baking". I I I kill Do 11011 Al 111410V I DAM When folks head out to watch the Bayfield Santa Claus Parade on Saturday morning (11 a.m. start time) they are reminded to take along a non- perishable food item to fill the grocery carts being pushed by members of the Bayfield and Area Fire Department. The firefighters will be collecting canned goods and donations for local food banks along the route and will also be stationed at Bayfield Foodland following the parade until 2 p.m. GLEE SISTERS Looking toward the festive season, the Bayfield Town Hall and The Village Bookshop are once again presenting a Children's Book Reading and Concert following the Santa Claus Parade on Nov. 9. This year, the featured book will be "The Santa Trap" by Jonathan Emmett and illustrated by Poly Bernatene. Joining the readers again will be Bayfield's own fabulous, Glee Sisters, who will bring the story to life with music and song. The reading and concert will be held at 2 p.m. followed by hot chocolate and cookies. Admission is by a cash donation or non-perishable food item. All proceeds will go to the local Foodbank. Once again this year the organizers are extremely grateful to the Bayfield Optimists who are donating a book to each of the first 30 families to arrive - so be sure to be early! CRYSTAL JOURNEY A well-received visit by Crystal Journey in the summer has warranted a return viist to the village for Christmas in Bayfield weekend. Crystal Journey will perform a two-hour show at the Bayfield Town Hall on Nov. 9 starting at 7 p.m. Those who attend will experience "vibrational" music played unrehearsed by renowned holistic musician cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week461ssue227/tabid/640/Default.aspx 2/13 5/31/2019 Week 46 Issue 227 The back of the coin found recently among the belongings of a late WWII veteran. "The wounded man was Howard Lansing. Part of the reason neither recognized the other was that Howard's face had been very badly burned and was heavily bandaged, so Eric never actually saw his face and Howard never saw Eric because his eyes were covered by the bandages to help them heal." Burton, a New Zealander who has lived in Perth, for 46 years, discovered the coin etched with Lansing's name among her late father's possessions recently. Her father was Donald Angus McDonald born in 1914 in New Zealand (NZ). He went overseas in 1940 with the NZ Forces and was taken prisoner on Crete (Greece) in 1941. From there he was transported to Lamsdorf, Stalag 8B. Lamsdorf, now called Lambinowice, is a small town it Poland, once the location of one of Germany's largest prisoner of war camps for allied servicemen. He remained there for over three years before being repatriated to NZ on a hospital ship after a prisoner exchange with German prisoners. He died in 2007 aged 92. Burton conducted an internet search that led her to believe that Lansing and her father were in Stalag 8B at the same time. The internet search also revealed the story mentioning Lansing in the Bayfield Breeze. The Bayfield Breeze contacted the Bayfield Archives and members of the Bayfield Historical Society who were able to communicate with Eric Earl's son to see if he knew more about Lansing. What was unearthed was that Lansing lived in Grand Bend after the war and both he and his wife had no children and have been deceased for about 30 years. "My initial motivation was that the family of Howard Lansing might like to have possession of this memento," wrote Burton. And as Remembrance Day approaches it would be an appropriate time to write a happy ending for the tale of the soldier who etched his name on a coin. If anyone has more history to share about Howard Lansing or knows of a family member who might like this coin please contact the Editor at bayfield.breeze@villageofbayfield.com.

Four years of challenges and negotiations resulted in the property being sold to the Goderich Lions Club. It is now being revitalized for youth in Huron County and beyond to use and will officially open in Spring 2014.

Camp Klahanie is 40 years old in 2013 and has been given a new lease on life thanks to the efforts of the Goderich Lions Club. It will, however, remain true to it's roots, acknowledging that it was first given to local Guiding for $1 by the Hindmarsh family. A Bayfield Guiding tradition is having a picture taken on the bright orange gate at the entrance to the camp. The weekend was filled with crafts, games, songs, fresh air activities and outdoor cooking much of which celebrated being girls and women with rights and freedoms. The membership learned that in some countries in the world girls and women aren't afforded the same opportunities as they have in Canada, that some face challenges even to go to school or to drive a car. They also learned a bit about the Famous Five and how they played a role in bringing women's rights to the forefront in this country in the 1920s. The Bayfield membership are now eagerly anticipating returning to Camp Klahanie in the New Year (many thought they should visit every weekend) and look forward to sharing it with other youth organizations in the community. Camp Klahanie has a bright future ahead of it and it could be even brighter if the Goderich Lions Club is successful in their quest to make it into the Top 10 in the third and final round of the AIVA Community Fund competition that begins on Nov. 11 at noon. In the second round of voting, that ended on Nov. 4, the Camp Klahanie Revitalization idea, finished just shy of 17th position. If all of the current supporters vote everyday in the third round and others rally their support the idea has a very good chance of making it to the semi final and a chance at winning $50,000. One of the goals of the Camp Klahanie Board of Directors and Lions members is to provide better facilities for co-ed camping opportunities. A second building with washrooms is needed to realize this goal. In addition there are dreams of having a hiking trail around the property and individual camping bunkies hidden in the woods for campers to fully enjoy camping in nature. Beyond the dreams there is a real need to replace the roof on the kitchen building and picnic shelter in the very near future. The Aviva Community Fund is, according to their website, "an annual competition that is changing Canadian communities by bringing great ideas to life. The most popular ideas, as determined by passionate Canadians like you, will have a chance to win a share of the $1,000,000 Aviva Community Fund." The competition has three qualifying rounds. The third round will run from Nov. 11-25. People are encouraged to vote for the cause everyday to help the project move to the semi-final. New voters will have to register but all it takes is an email and a password. Here is the link www.avivacommunityfund.org. Anyone on Facebook who would like helpful voting reminders is asked to join the group known as: "Goderich Lions Club — Camp Klahanie Revitalization". cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek461ssue227/tabid/640/Default.aspx 9/13 5/31/2019 k ' The girls packed "light" for their residential camp.

Excitement, anticipation and joy all mingled into one. I didn't even mind that there was a light rain falling. Nope, nothing could spoil the moment I had been dreaming of since Nov. 2009 — I was returning to Camp Klahanie for an overnight — first time campers and some veterans in tow. One week earlier I had the pleasure of touring a leader with 4th Goderich Cub Scouts through the property as her unit was going to use the camp for the first time ever that weekend. And after an exhaustingly terrific 24 hours, some of which you can see in this week's photo story, I sat down on my couch with a hot cup of tea. It was a moment for reflection. Watching Camp Klahanie come back to life after years of challenges and negotiations was one of my proudest moments, knowing that we can now share it with others has made the whole journey worthwhile. In case anyone ever doubted this they should now be confident in the knowledge that we did the right thing. The sunshine, smiles and squeals of delight that radiated through the woods on Saturday and Sunday are testament to that. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome. Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m. Please email me at bayfield.breeze@villageofbayfield.com or call 519-565-2443. _r _r BAwIELD BREEZE QV3l'-- fheJ4resowrrtan/ ,0 SHARE W'A1g , SIGN UP FOR ;BAYFIELD FREEZE 4CLICK HERE Founding Members ................................................................. -......
