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 Trinity Anglican Church at 519 565-2790 and leave a message. 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, cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week29issue3l5/tabid/733/Default.aspx 2/17 6/13/2019 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. Week 29 Issue 315 Sandy Scotchmer (left) acted as Mistress of 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.

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.

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.

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 Bayfield Lions and Optimist Clubs provided financial support for this activity that proved to be loads of fun for everyone.

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.

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.
