LOCAL SCRIBE CREATES DONOR SIGN
FOR PIANO FUNDRAISER
III FRO _0000—

Local calligrapher, Rita Paakkunainen, is currently using her talents on the the Bayfield Town Hall piano
keyboard of donor names. This special commemorative piece will hang in the hall recognizing those people
who donated toward the new piano for the hall. (Submitted photo)
Earlier this year, the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS) purchased a new piano, a
Roland Digital HP 507, and began an appeal to fund it by "selling" the ivories.
Piano keys could be "purchased" for $50 each on this piano, which has a rich, concert -hall
sound, requires no tuning and will be better equipped to deal with the ever-changing
temperatures in the hall.
Thanks to a generous offer of donated time by local calligrapher, Rita Paakkunainen, the
Bayfield Town Hall Piano Keyboard of donor names is now almost complete. When finished,
this keyboard will hang on one of the walls in the hall.
The BTHHS Board would like to thank all those who have already donated to this appeal.
There are still some keys available, so if anyone would like to add their name, or names in
honor of someone else, please contact Kate Lloyd -Rees at 519 565-4404 or Sandy Scotchmer
at 519 565-2830.
And anyone wishing to learn from Paakkunainen will have the opportunity to do so in the New
Year as she will be running new calligraphy classes in January for anyone interested in
learning this craft.

community after they retired here in the 1970s. Among many other activities, Doris was one of
the founders of the BHS.

TIlfLESS GIFT
Longtime, local resident, Pat Graham was depicted in an illustration in the book, "Dragon on Parade" when he
owned a store on Main Street in the 1970s. (Submitted photo)
'Dragon on Parade' was first published nationally in 1974 and went through several editions.
This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of the challenges a group of children overcame to
create a float in Bayfield's summer parade. It's a gentle read that will evoke laughs and a great
deal of nostalgia for long time residents and "summer guests".
FILM SOCIETY
The fall season for the Bayfield Film Society will
conclude with the presentation of "Still Mine" on Dec.
12 at the Bayfield Town Hall.
The movie will be shown starting at 7:30 p.m.
Anyone without series tickets can purchase one for
$10 at the door.
As this is the last film of the season cookies and
eggnog will be served prior to the film starting at 6:30
p.m. The film line up for the spring season will also
be announced.
Please call Lynne Gillians at 519 565-5884, or e-mail
lynnegillians@hotmail.com, for more information.
CPH AUNILIARY
For many Bayfield residents Clinton Public Hospital
(CPH) is their choice for healthcare and therefore the
work of the Auxiliary to CPH should be of interest.
Auxiliary members are now selling tickets to
purchase a "Gift of Light" to brighten their tree at
CPH. Proceeds will go toward the purchase of
specialized hospital equipment. Tickets may be
purchased as a gift for or in memory of someone
whose name will be placed on a tree of honor inside
the hospital. On Nov. 29, the community is invited to
come and help the auxiliary celebrate the "Lighting of
the Lights of Hope" at 6:30 p.m. There will be a draw
for the quilt, afghan and Lego pack following as well
as entertainment and refreshments.
TOWN HALL
On Nov. 29 the Bayfield Town Hall will welcome back
the London Citadel Salvation Army Band for their
eighteenth annual Christmas Concert. Their
appearance on the town hall stage is a holiday
tradition for many and should not be missed.
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 130
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.
Show time is 8 p.m. and tickets are selling for $10
per person. For tickets call 519 565-2572 or 519 565-
4404 or online at ticketscene.ca. In the case of
inclement weather the concert will be held on Dec. 6.
Coincidentally, the Salvation Army began in Canada
in 1882, the same year that the Bayfield Town Hall
was built. All proceeds from the concert will go to The
Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society for the
maintenance of the hall.

SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE PROJECT
EMPOWERING ZAMBIAN WOMEN ONE STITCH AT A TIME
Johanna Steegstra and her group found the people to be both gracious and friendly. Here she meets women and
children in Lusaka, Zambia.
PHOTOS SUBMITTED
STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -
POUNDER
During the summer, Johanna Steegstra, of
Bayfield, set out on another adventure but this
time an orphanage in Haiti was not her destination
— rural Zambia was.
Through International Teams Canada Impact
Zambia she joined others from the Trinity
Christian Reform Church (CRC) in Goderich on a
mission through the "Share Your Knowledge"
project to teach Zambian women how to use
hand -powered sewing machines thus empowering
them with the skills to start a business and earn
money to improve their family's quality of life.
According to an article that appeared in The
Saugeen Times in 2009, "The objective of the
Share Your Knowledge project is to provide the
Tonga People, especially those who live in far off
rural communities of the southern province where
there is no industrial development, with the
knowledge and tools to open up new possibilities
and to create a new framework of thought that will
lead to changing their circumstances to an
outcome that is more than they ever imagined."
The sewing classes were the first initiative and
were started in 2005. Since that time other
initiatives have been started including teaching
cooking and nutrition.
Impact Zambia was established in December
2012. New Life Tabernacle (NLT) and Cell
Ministries with headquarters in Itezhi-tezhi
(Escosa), Zambia under the direction of Daniel
and Florence Mayapi partnered with Trinity CRC
as sister churches. The first project was to
support NLT in building an office and church
school block at the Itezhi-tezhi church and to
construct churches in Mumbwa and Namwala.

Week 49 Issue 230
A visit with the youngsters at Escosa Christian Academy in Hezhi-tezhi.
Those people who gathered for a church service in Namwala, Zambia posed for a picture.
Three Trinity CRC women traveled to Zambia
from July 25 to Aug. 9. During their trip they
visited the school and churches their congregation
had partnered to build as well as medical clinics
but their primary focus was to aid in the sewing
projects done by the Share Your Knowledge
team.
"We went from village to village and gave sewing
lessons for ladies to teach them how to make
things to sell, empowering them in the process,"
said Steegstra. The trio brought a lot of material
with them that was donated by people at home, a
large portion of it given by Judith Higgs, of
Bayfield, an avid quilter.
The Mayapis and two South African women joined
Lianti Muller, who organized the trip, Sandy
Maaskant and Steegstra on their trek through
most of South Western Zambia.
"The South Africans provided vehicles for us,
tents and sleeping bags to sleep in. We camped
along the river in beautiful Zambia. We traveled
through jungle on roller coaster, washboard roads.
We had very primitive living conditions. Toilets
were holes in the ground, we were lucky if the
showers had a thatched wall or if we had warm
water to wash in," recalled Steegsta. "Meals were
prepared for us on open fires. We ate a lot of
Nshima — a corn meal mash that is a staple of the
Zambian diet supplemented by chicken, fish,
potatoes, greens and tomatoes. It was an eye-
opening trip. "
What stood out for Steegstra on this adventure
were the Zambians themselves.
"The people are lovely," she said. "They are family
oriented and community centered and very open
with their hugs."
The women attended worship services at
churches built with the support of Trinity CRC.
The churches were made of mud bricks and
sported thatched roofs.
"Their style of worship is very joyful and lively with
music, dancing, praise and singing," she said.
Steegstra, who is trained as a nurse, didn't do any
hands on nursing on this mission but this didn't
stop her from visiting a medical clinic where she
donated medical supplies and some books on
health instruction.
The focus of the trip, however, was empowering
women, teaching them sewing skills using Singer
hand sewing machines. The Zambians can
purchase these machines new and use them
successfully because they require no electricity to
run.
"Share your Knowledge is a great program
because it allows you to share anything you can
with people and you don't have to travel across

The sewing group at Nyawa Village, Zambia, displayed some of their work. Much of the material was donated by
people back home in Canada including a large donation from Judith Higgs, of Bayfield.
The group took part in the Share Your Knowledge program and offered sewing lessons to women. Sandy
Maaskant is shown offering instruction during this session in Nyawa Village, Zambia.
the world to help. We had two large bags of
donated material to take with us," said Steegstra.
"Anyone who has, a spot in their heart,
compassion, for doing something to help people —
religion aside — can help educate children,
empower women and help in some way."
Steegstra noted that the old days of religious
conversion are gone and that there is new respect
for the culture of the people that are being helped.
"The new thought of missions are 'to teach a
person to fish and they will fish for a lifetime'."
The women are not only taught to sew but they
learn some business skills and how to manage
their money. The rule being one third of income is
for their business, one third is for personal use
and one third is for buying new materials. Fabric,
imported from China, can be picked up at
markets.
"The people were so community minded, so kind
and loving. They treated us so well and were so
appreciative of anything we did. What we gave did
not compare, however, to what I got back from
this experience."
Out of the 17 -day adventure the trio spent a
couple days as tourists out of Livingstone, Zambia
visiting Victoria Falls and going to Botswana on a
safari. Watching elephants play in mud puddles
and seeing them cross a river holding tails as well
as observing a leopard sleeping in a tree with his
kill hanging down over a limb, watching him until
he woke up, were memorable highlights of the
trip.
"The stars seemed so low there it was like you
could reach up and touch them. The Milky Way
was so evident it was breathtaking," Steegstra
recalled. "And the sunsets were almost as good
as here in Huron County."
Steegstra noted that she hopes to return to
Zambia again in a couple of years when another
trip is organized. She as well as Maaskant and
Muller will make themselves available for
presentations about the trip to interested groups
or if people would simply like to know more about
the project they can call her at 519 565-2116.

Matt Smith, of Bayfield, died on Nov. 25 at the age of 63 years. Details of any funeral arrangements were still to be released
when I penned this but I wanted to share this loss with the community and send my deepest sympathy to Brenda, his children
and his step -children.
Matt and I will always have a special connection. He was the first person I ever wrote a feature story about. My first article ever
printed in a local newspaper was about his passion for juke boxes and pinball machines. He was undoubtedly a mechanical
genius albeit a quiet and humble one. He would often tell me he still had the article hanging on a wall in his recreation room
(today we would call it a man cave — but this was the 80s).
As I became fully entrenched in the Bayfield community I joined him in another passion — raising money to improve the lives of
kids in the village and surrounding area as a fellow member of the Bayfield Optimist Club.
There may never be another such good natured and easy-going fellow to walk this earth. I am honored to have been able to call him a friend. - Melody
