Anny Johnston's over 30 years as the Bayfield Librarian was celebrated on the afternoon of July 11 at the
Bayfield Town Hall. Guest speakers shared stories that were quintessentially Anny and thus kept everyone,
including the guest of honor, laughing.
Anny's family were in attendance at the gathering,
including son, Colin Johnston, at right.
Anny Johnston retired from the Bayfield Library
at the end of April after being an integral part of
the local library system for over 30 years.
Barbara Brown told Anny that the Friends of the
Bayfield Library (FOBL) were going to throw a
retirement party for her. Just the FOBL
members and a few close friends and family —
maybe about 20 people. Brown announced to a
nearly overflowing crowd in the Bayfield Town
Hall on Sunday afternoon, "I lied".
The FOBL assisted by the Bayfield Town Hall
Heritage Society, the Bayfield Garden Club
members and several Book Clubs came
together to organize the party and they invited
the whole community to attend. And attend they
did indeed.
Sandy Scotchmer acted as Mistress of
Ceremonies at the event — sharing stories that were quintessentially Anny, as did Brown, Sue
Pye and Joyce Edge. Jim Fergusson thanked Anny for being a great ambassador for the
village and for welcoming newcomers to town in his positions as both President of FOBL and
Deputy Mayor of Bluewater. Roma Harris, representing the Bayfield Tree Project, presented
her with a gift of a recognition tree from contributions gathered from the community.
An overwhelmed Anny herself shared a few words of appreciation to the crowd and then
Scotchmer shared a written testimonial that Anny wrote in the fall of 2011 when the FOBL was
first being formed about what the library has meant to her. Here is what she wrote:
"One of the first things I did when we moved to Bayfield was join the library. Not knowing a
soul, the stacks of books and magazines were my entertainment. The instructional manuals on
house restoration also were useful since we personally were renovating an older home.
"After the house became semi -livable, I decided to volunteer at the library, a diversion from the
construction. I read to the children during the Story Hour Program. Well, one thing led to
another, and the Librarian Maude Weston suggested since I was there half of the time, I should
apply for her position, as she was retiring. Now, 27 years later (written 2011), it is still as
enjoyable as ever.
"Being a librarian is not dull. There are so many interesting people and wonderful patrons and
don't have to sell anything."

BACKPACKS FOR KIDS
Since 2011, the Huron Backpacks for Kids Program
has been supporting families that cannot afford the
cost of school supplies and backpacks for their
children. Last year they were able to provide over
300 school -aged children with a backpack of supplies
for their first day of school.
Planning has begun for the 2015-16 school year.
Participating Huron County Food Banks, including
the Bayfield Food Bank, will be taking registrations
until July 29.
Individuals, local businesses and service clubs are
also welcome to contribute to the cause. Income-tax
receipts will be issued for donations of $20 or more.
Financial donations are ideal, as this allows
organizers to purchase grade -appropriate items for
children that have registered.
In addition to the participating food banks and the
Huron County Food Bank Distribution Center, area
hospitals and the Huron County Health Unit are
participating in the Huron Backpacks for Kids
Program.
To register a child or to make a donation please call

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) works to
end hunger in about 40 countries. Through wars,
drought or floods, representatives of the CFGB are
on the ground to help the hungry. They also provide
agriculture and livelihood programs around the world,

As the hub of the community the library serves
many purposes and thus so does the librarian.
Anny noted in her testimonial that she has
fielded many comical and unusual inquiries
over the years.
Here are three:
• A woman called to say she was looking out
her kitchen window on Howard Street and
she believed she saw an Emu! "Whom
should I call?" she asked.
• A gentleman called and asked where he
could get soft ice cream. Naturally I had to
ask why soft? His answer: "Because I am
the tour bus driver and need 40 ice creams
to go."
• And then there was the little boy hiding from
his grandmother on a bookshelf, pretending
to be a text.

Ceremonies at the afternoon celebration.
The Bayfield Town Hall was nearly filled to overflowing on the afternoon of July 12 as people came together to
celebrate Anny Johnston's (orange dress far left) over 30 years as Bayfield Librarian. The Friends of the
Bayfield Library members assisted by the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society, the Bayfield Garden Club
members and several Book Clubs came together to organize the party and they invited the whole community
to attend.
"So it was and is a wonderful place to be at the Public Library," Anny wrote in conclusion
And although with retirement Anny will no longer be found behind the desk people are sure to
see her there still, cozy by the fire in a red chair, book in hand reading for pleasure... but maybe
only on a rainy day. There are great adventures, and road trips, to be had on the sunny ones.
CHILDREN CAN PREPARE FOR THE
AIME .1 a 0 1:\:\ 1
The Friends of the Bayfield Library (FOBL) would like to help kids participate in the exhibition
portion of the Bayfield Community Fair. They are hosting an "Off to the Fair" Craft Hour at the
Bayfield Library on Aug. 1.
Children can take advantage of this opportunity to create items for the fair from the prize book
and perhaps win a ribbon or some prize money by entering their work in the fair to be held Aug.
14-16.
The craft hour will start at 11:30 a.m. and is open to children of all ages.
The youngsters will be using "Play -doh", markers, glue, paint and sponges. Items they could
make include a tractor, robot, denim pockets or potato prints. They could even write a limerick.
This sounds like it could get messy. Participants are asked to wear old clothes.
On fair weekend the FOBL will be hosting their annual Book Sale at the library. FOBL Members
will be treated to a special preview sale on the Friday night from 6-8 p.m. Membership has its
working with farmers to increase their yield and
teaching nutrition to reduce malnutrition.
The Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) speaker this
month will be Jean Bennet, who has traveled as a
volunteer on three monitoring trips with the
organization to East Africa, Central America and,
most recently, Kenya and Rwanda — to observe first
hand how CFGB aid was used to improve the life of
people there.
She will give an illustrated talk about what she saw
on her most recent trip to Kenya and Rwanda. All are
welcome to attend this evening that will be held on
July 27, at 7:30 p.m. in the Bayfield Lions'
Community Building.

LET'S GO PAINT A KITE
PHOTOS BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER
Elise Brady, of Bayfield, took part in the kite painting activity at Kryart Studio on Saturday morning.
The Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce hosted their first ever Wind & Water Festival
over the weekend and for one of the events youngsters were encouraged to go fly a kite!
Kryart Studio on Bayfield Main Street North was the location for a kite painting activity for
children. Boys and Girls were invited to express their creativity on a kite canvas and the
designs were as unique at the indivduals that painted them. The youngsters were also treated
to "Slushies" as they painted to some sweet tunes. The Bayfield Lions and Optimist Clubs
provided financial support for this activity that proved to be loads of fun for everyone.
Olivia Hill, of Strathroy, ON, executed a splatter
technique to decorate her kite.
Tessa Hamilton -Miller, of Milton, ON, danced to the
music while she painted, drawing smiles from all
who passed by her.

TICKETS FOR FAIR MIDWAY AND
MORE NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE
Just one month from now the Bayfield Community Fair will be in full swing continuing a
celebration of rural life for 159 years.
Tickets for the midway, Ribs Fest, and Carnival Music Fest will be available online this week.
The midway tickets are $20. This allows the ticket holder to ride the whole day as often as
wished. The Ribs Fest tickets are $20 for an Ontario produced half rack of back ribs, corn,
coleslaw, and soft drink. Sofina Foods and the Huron County Pork Producers are supporters of
Ribs Fest. The corn is grown locally by Hill & Hill.
Online tickets for the midway can be found at www.ticketscene.ca/events/13428; for Ribfest
at www.ticketscene.ca/events/13426/ and for Music Fest
at www.ticketscene.ca/events/13427. Tickets can also be obtained in person from Stonefield
Garden Centre, Brandons Hardware, and Shop Bike Coffee.
An old-fashioned staple will be returning to the fair. A dunk tank is always popular and will be in
place on Aug. 15. There are always good sports volunteering to challenge those who want to
dunk someone at the fair. Rumor has it some current local politicians and possibly former
politicians will dare how accurate fairgoers are.
The parade organizers have four bands prepared to add music to the annual fair parade. A
dance group will dance along the route to show their enthusiasm about the fair. Children are
asked to decorate their bikes or tricycles, or be in costume with their skateboards or other
modes of transportation to add to the happy atmosphere of the parade. Neighborhoods have
shown their enthusiasm and Bayfield spirit by entering floats as well. Contact Brenda Does at
519 482-3496 and she will let you know where the floats are to line up. The theme is: Blue
Jeans and Machines. A couple of the bands actually march to the tent area on the fairground
and exhibit their skills. This year, instead of following the last float and going into the fair people
might wish to hop on a wagon which will ferry people back and forth from down town to the
fairground's entrance.
Volunteers are always welcome. Check out the website for specific jobs or check out the prize
book and decide what can be entered for the competition. Participate in the Bayfield
Community Fair and help make it a memorable part of the summer of 2015.

who made this event such a resounding success.
And we thank the public who loyally support our
annual rummage sale year in and year out!"

you to all who so willingly contributed baking and
their time to a successful outcome.

WATER PARADE
The Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce hosted their first Wind and Water Festival on the weekend with events
beginning Friday night at the Bayfield Harbour. About a dozen sail and power boats took to the glass -like lake and
circled off shore showing off their colorful lights and decorations, playing music and enthusiastically blowing their horns.
Spectators lined the south pier, the cliff in Pioneer Park and along the beach to watch their sunset antics. (Photo by

Many in the community will know Mike Falconer as the retired owner of Falconer Funeral Homes. But to me he has always
been my older cousin Michael. His formative years were spent in the city and I clearly remember the day he didn't go back with
the family when they left after a weekend visit. He was to begin his career as a funeral director in Clinton. We sat together on
the farmhouse's old cement porch overlooking the field that he would one day grow some pretty amazing flowers in.
Over time a love of gardening and a desire to enjoy farming life resulted in Falhaven Farm, a place where with the support of
his family, and his wife Marguerite, he has become a hybridizer specializing in cutting edge Tetraploid Daylilies.
Melody Falconer -Pounder Anyone who would like to see these daylilies for themselves and maybe purchase (cash or cheque only) a few to add some
splendid mid -summer color to their gardens is invited to Falhaven Farm during two open house weekends: July 18-19 and
again July 25-26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The farm is open most days starting July 16 through the end of bloom season from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays are
by appointment only. Falhaven Farm is located at 79217 Orchard Line.
And I can vouch that these daylilies are both unique and beautiful having two of his creations flanking the sides of my front entrance. Mine have been
trading off daily blooms since Sunday and I have admired each and every one — for they are like the days of summer, extraordinary but fleeting. — Melody
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m.
