(Photo by Jack Pal) Every year we are all given an opportunity to be a part of helping to change the lives of many people across Canada by being a participant in the Purina Walk for Dog Guides. The 30th annual Purina Walk for Dog Guides will take place on the morning of June 7, hosted once again by the Bayfield Lions' Club, starting at 9 a.m. from a new location, Clan Gregor Square. The Lions Foundation of Canada's mission is to assist Canadians with a medical or physical disability by providing them Dog Guides at no personal costs. It can cost upwards of $20,000 to train a pup to become a service dog. "This is the 30th anniversary of the walk and the Bayfield Lions have been there from the beginning. On a per capita basis our community walk has been one of the most financially successful in Canada " said Bayfield Lion Jack Pal, Chair of the annual Dog Guide Walk. "This year, however, we are really ramping up our activities and making it an exciting Dog Day to which everyone is invited. We are going to make it our most successful Walk for Dog Guide ever!" The morning will start off, after registration in Clan Gregor Square at 8:30 a.m. with an approximately 5 KM gentle walk along a major part of the Heritage Trail in downtown Bayfield. This is where the similarity with past years ends. After the walk, all the participants and the general public are invited back to Clan Gregor to be part of the Lions Dog Day Gala. Keynote speaker will be Larry Wainwright, a senior Lion and former member of the Bayfield Lions. Wainwright, who is blind, will bring with him his Canine Vision Dog Guide and talk about the history of the program and his own experience with it. "We will also have just about everything else you can imagine that involves dogs, to keep this exciting," said Pal. "There will be representation from the London Police K9 unit, the St. John's Ambulance Therapy Dog program and the OSPCA Rescue Dog program. In addition there will be a presentation on the importance of dog grooming and a dog agility demonstration. A well known local veterinarian will talk about various aspects of dog health. All this will be accompanied by musical entertainment and the whole event will be emceed by a well-known local personality. In other words something for everyone and it's all free." Refreshments will also be available. Everyone is encouraged to come out and enjoy the activities and donate generously to this very worthwhile cause. One new event this year will be Friesian horse demonstrations on the Sunday afternoon of the fair. Friesians are beautiful horses that almost became extinct several times throughout their history. They are considered a light draft horse and have a rich past throughout Europe. The demonstrations will prove how agile, intelligent and strong they are. This is the first time they have been to the Bayfield Fair and possibly will be shown regularly in the future. The BAS is pleased to announce that the heavy horse show will continue at the fair. The exhibitors enjoy coming to display their horses at the fair and found people to run the show. This is one of the last locations in this region for people to witness these horses being exhibited. This gives people the chance to see these horses on the Sunday of their fair. Nothing beats the ground rumbling when a four or six horse hitch trots along the centre ring at the fair. For those who wish to pick up a prize book, they are available at the usual businesses or contact info@bayfieldfair.ca to make arrangements with Lehnen to get one. The fair this year is August 14-16 with the theme: Blue Jeans and Machines.

VOLUNTEERS PICK UP BIG PILE OF TRASH ON EARTH DAY Volunteers Scott Robeson, Margaret McBride, Helen VareKamp and Jack Pal were just a few of the folks that took to the village streets on Apr. 22 to pick up the trash that accumulated in the community over the winter months. The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) would like to extend an enormous thank you to all of the community with the overwhelming support received during the Earth Day Litter Walk held on Apr. 22 despite the cold, snowy weather. Organizers were thrilled with the participation, while excited and disappointed at the same time with the mountain of garbage at the end of the day. They hope that residents and businesses alike will pitch in on a regular basis to pick up any garbage they may come across and most of all, to prevent litter from ending up on the roadside in the first place. INMEMORIAM The community will be saddened to learn that a woman with a strong attachment to the village, Pioneer Park and its sunsets, has died at the age of 78.

MOTHER'S DAY TRILLIUM HIICE On Mother's Day, May 9, the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association hosted a hike in the Bannockburn Conservation Area. A small group enjoyed the trail in reverse so that the magnificent display of colorful trilliums could act as a grand finale. The hikers also noted that the Marsh Marigolds were plentiful and they enjoyed the new hike loop that has been introduced at the north end of the trail featuring a lot of coniferous growth. Along the way Helen VareKamp explained to the group the difference between a white and a red pine making for a very informative and sensory stimulating walk in the woods.

ISSUE 301 In Issue 301, a wheelchair bound Lucy Woods -Diehl poses for a picture with a number of young people. Does anyone recognize them? (Archive's Code: PB13 08a) Ainslie Willock recognized a few people in this photo as she is one of them! Although she can't recall the two individuals on the left, they were summer friends, the rest are members of her family and herself. From I -r: Douglas, Peg, Ainslie and Cathie Willock. She also noted that the corgi walking out of the picture is Antony Armstrong -Jones, Snowden, simply called "Jonsie". The photo was taken across the street from Lucy's home called "The Hut", at the Willock cottage. Acoording to Ainslie, her mother, Peg, spent a lot of time at Lucy's because Lucy had the most amazing stories of the past and current news. Penny Johnstone was able to identify the two boys in this picture as Jim and Ron Durham. According to Johnstone, "their parents were Doreen and George Durham. I believe George was a nephew of Carl Diehl and they visited Bayfield often. They lived in Mississauga until George got transferred to Calgary with the oil company he worked for."

Allan Reach, of Stratford, brought his collection of Studebaker items to the exhibition. The youngest exhibitor at the show was Travis Saunders who had set up a Lego display. Collector Exhibition held at the Bayfield Community Centre on May 9-10 Besides Elvis, there was a table devoted to the late Queen Mum and items that people would have once seen on "Mother's dressing table" as well as various exhibits appealing to young and old alike. A sampling of themes included: toy trains, vintage televisions, vintage kitchen wares, bee keeping apparatus, and children's games. In addition to the silent auction a highlight of the event was the "Taste of Huron" live auction of local food items with MP Ben Lobb once again providing auction services. All of the food items as well as the vast array of silent auction items were generously donated by local businesses and friends of the BHS. On Sunday, BHS member and local antiques dealer Tim Saunders, of Three Squirrels Antiques, was available to identify and appraise any items people were curious about. The enthusiasm for this event has remained strong over its 15 year history because it fits so well with the greatest desire of any historical society: to preserve, explore and share with everyone the rich and diverse history of the community. David Orn, of Blyth discusses his train exhibit with visitors to the exhibition.

We had the opportunity to spend a few days with him and his eight month-old sister as their parents chose to spend six weeks holiday in the south of France. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek20lssue306/tabid/724/Default.aspx 13/14 6/13/2019 Week 20 Issue 306 On Apr. 25, 1 realized a dream 30 years in the making. I went into a Boulangerie and ordered baguette and pain au chocolate using my high school French. I had always wanted to do that and I would like to thank Mr. Howe, my teacher, for embedding the French somewhere deep in my brain. I had a translation guide in - my purse the whole trip and I never had to crack it open. May I say my grandson and I thought that the pain au chocolate tasted amazing. I shared my bread with him and in that moment I could tell he thought the French were brilliant... chocolate in bread.
