Those taking part in the presentation were from I -r: Steve Baker, Kim Loebach, Stacy Schulz, Carley Andison, Stephanie Field, Cathy Fisher, Joyce McIlwain and Mike Dixon. Just over $6,000 was raised to grant a local Huron County boy his wish of visiting Walt Disney World in Florida. (Submitted photo) Friends and families from Bayfield and the surrounding areas came out Sept. 13 for the 3rd Annual Virtual High School (VHS) and Bayfield Optimist Club Run4Kids event in support of Make -A -Wish Southwestern Ontario. Participants and supporters of this year's event raised money to send five year-old Reiko and his family to his favorite theme park in Orlando, Florida — Walt Disney World Resort. It was another fun morning with Sal's Alley providing entertainment, a warm-up yoga session with Cynthia Forler, and fresh hot coffee at the finish line provided by Shop Bike in Bayfield. Reiko and his family were in attendance and cheered everyone who crossed the finish line. A number of prizes donated by local businesses were eagerly snapped up during the raffle draw to finish out the morning. Just over $6,000 was raised during the run and five-year-old Reiko, who is living with an inherited skeletal disorder, recently had his wish granted. His mom, Jessica, said "The wish trip was exhausting but lots of fun. The boys had an incredible time. (Older brother) Kai was absolutely in love with the flights and meeting the pilots, and Reiko was in heaven when he met Mickey Mouse ... twice! I think that was their favorite parts of the wish trip aside from swimming every day. "Every day they would come back and get so excited to see their gifts from Give Kids The World. (The very special village where Wish Kids and their families stay during their wish.) We ate way too much good food there." Jessica went on to say that, "Derek and my favorite experiences were definitely going to Rainforest Cafe with the boys. Because of Make -A -Wish, they got us in right away and made the boys meal on the house as well as including their Rainforest frog cups! And then when we watched the Indiana Jones stunt show at Hollywood Studios, they had the boys come up and be junior directors. After the show, they met Indiana Jones and he gave them a signed hat! We were treated like royalty all week. "The wish really let us all relax and get to know each other again. With work and the boys in school we haven't spent that much time together in years, so that was really special to get that one on one time with them and not have to think about appointments etc. It was an incredibly wonderful week and we won't ever forget that time. Thank you for everything." This person should be passionate about Huron County and want to see it positioned well for the future. He/she needs to believe that the county has a great story to tell- This person should recognize that we as Huron County residents welcome investments and business development at the same time as we embrace our heritage and quality of life. Applicants also need to realize that it takes commitment and hard work to accomplish great things. In 2016 the HEDB will launch Huron County's new economic development strategic plan and a new economic development department structure. Applications must be submitted by Nov. 30 at 4 p.m. For information on the HEDB and the recruitment process those interested can contact Natasha Fritzley by phone at 519 524-8394, Ext. 3232 or email nfritzley@huroncounty.ca.

The food bank operates out of Trinity Anglican Church in the village. (Photo by Wayne Malott) The volunteers with Feed My Sheep (Bayfield Food Bank) wish to thank the many local organizations that came together with the Christmas Spirit to create a wonderful time for the community over the Christmas in Bayfield Weekend by hosting events that encouraged people to donate to the food bank. The community, in turn, responded with their generous gifts of food and money. "Truly, the response was overwhelming and much appreciated," said Terry Boa-Youmatoff, representing Feed My Sheep. "Thank -you for caring and sharing!" She went on to acknowledge the efforts of the Bayfield Area Chamber of Commerce, the Bayfield and Area Fire Department and the owners of Bayfield Foodland for their food drive. As well as the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society, The Village Bookshop, The Glee Sisters and Bayfield Optimists that sponsored "The Polar Express" presentation at which admission was a donation to the food bank.

He is shown here at the Latornell Conservation Symposium in Alliston, ON on Nov. 17. (Submitted photo) The Latornell Conservation Symposium (LCS) presented awards for conservation leadership to four deserving citizens including locally known Tom Prout. Prout is an Exeter -area resident who retired in early 2014 after four decades of service to protect and improve local watersheds. During his 40 years of conservation work, he did everything from attending camp, to cutting grass, to serving for 32 years as General Manager and Secretary -Treasurer of Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). The honorees received their awards on Nov. 17 at Nottawasaga Inn Resort and Convention Centre in Alliston. ON. The annual Symposium's name honors the late Arthur D. Latornell, a Professional Agrologist (P.Ag.) and a long-time conservation professional who was influential in Canada and the United States and who also made a positive impact as a mentor and teacher. It was fitting that Prout should receive an award at a conference named after Art Latornell. Prout recalled in a video interview at his Exeter -area home that "my career in conservation started out when I was 16 and I went to a Junior Conservationist program... there I met Art Latornell and that's sort of what spearheaded my whole career in terms of working with Art and conservation." The LCS is one of Ontario's premier events devoted to research and strategic action to protect and improve water quality, quantity, wetlands, and forest conditions and to build watershed resiliency. The Symposium provides a forum for conservation and environmental practitioners, policy makers, agencies, academics and businesses to network and discuss the challenges and opportunities in Ontario's conservation field. The November conference marked the 22nd year the Symposium had been held. The awards, now named the Latornell Leadership Awards, have been presented since 1999. Prout attended the Symposium in person along with representatives of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation board and staff. A video, taped in advance at Prout's Exeter -area home, was also shown. In the video, the long-time conservation leader is shown pruning plants, raking, paddling his boat with oars, and discussing his work over the years. Prout, a Professional Agrologist, credits growing up on the farm with giving him a love of nature and agriculture. He said that all of his 40 years of work in conservation was rewarding. The award recipient expressed his appreciation for the work of landowners, volunteers, community groups, Brandon, Sabourin's grandmother died in April 2015 while Doris Schilbe, Dianne's mother died in August of 2014. Empties of all sorts may be dropped off at Brandon's Hardware in Bayfield, or picked up anytime, just call Brandon's Hardware at 519 525-8884. Empties may also be dropped off at Bayfield Convenience in their names. OPTLVIIST TOY CHEST Believe it or not there is a chest under all those toys! The Bayfield Optimist Club has amassed a stellar collection of toys for their 2015 Toy Chest Raffle to be held Dec. 6 at Breakfast With Santa. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) The Bayfield Optimist Club is once again selling tickets on a fabulous hand made toy chest filled with toys for children of all ages.

Nra A111-91 -M On Nov. 20 in Ottawa, Conservative Interim leader Rona Ambrose announced her party's shadow cabinet. Newly re-elected MP Ben Lobb has been appointed Deputy Critic for Transport. "This critic role reflects key priorities not only for Huron -Bruce, but throughout Ontario and across Canada," Lobb said. "It is an honor, and I plan to work with my colleagues as well as stakeholders to cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek481ssue334/tabid/752/Default.aspx 4/13 5/31/2019 Week 48 Issue 334 agencies and ministries. He said he tried to bring "a determination to move forward and make things better and work with the community in doing that." He said he was proud of his work protecting nature and helping to protect people in terms of flood plain management, protecting water quality, and "moving the yardsticks" in water quality research and support for private land stewardship. "There were lots of challenges along the way but there were lots of great people that I met," he said. "We accomplished a lot of great conservation projects with a lot of great volunteers as well." He said one of the really rewarding recent accomplishments is the creation of the Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy that has recently received its first land donation. "The best part of the job was working with people with similar interests and similar ambitions to achieve... protection of the environment," he said. Prout thanked the people who were motivated to make positive change happen and who were able to "accomplish things" and "get the job done." Along with Tom Prout, the 2015 Latornell Leadership Award winners were Muriel Andreae, of London; Ian Buchanan, of Newmarket; and Bob Rogers, of Sudbury. PLASTER CASTS FROM GAIRDNER HOME DONATED TO ARCHIVES Two plaster casts of heads that at one time graced the Gairdner home have been donated to the Bayfield Heritage Centre and Archives. (Submitted photo) Two plaster casts of heads that at one time graced the Gairdner home on Main Street North in the village have been donated to the Bayfield Heritage Centre and Archives. "They were once mounted on the right of the Gairdner's front door," said Ralph Laviolette, village archivist. "When the Gairdner home was sold and the contents auctioned, Mrs. Gairdner willed the heads to her friend, Peg Willock, who hung them on either side of the downstairs hallway mirror in the Willock home." Peg's daughter, Ainslie Willock who donated the heads to the archives, along with some of Peg's documents and mementos, recalls that whenever she asked her mom, "I wonder what their story is?" she would get the same non -reply as Mrs. Willock got from Mrs. Gairdner. There are no distinguishing marks on the casts. It could be, since one of the Gairdner family members was a minister, there is some undiscovered connection. The archivist is hopeful that perhaps a Bayfield Breeze reader might be able to shed some light on the history of the casts. bring to the forefront areas of concern within the transport file." Lobb will be tasked with ensuring that the newly elected Liberal Government is held accountable for transportation programs and policies that include working with the provinces, municipalities and stakeholders to support our economy, protect and create jobs across Canada with respect to transport as well as keeping a close eye on projects that build and maintain roads, bridges, ports, airports and railways. Lobb previously served as Chair of the Standing Committee on Health and as a member of numerous committees including Human Resources, Skills, Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities, Public Safety and National Security, Veterans Affairs and Agriculture and Agri -Food. He will be sworn in for the third time on Dec. 1 st. The House is set to commence on Dec. 3rd and the first order of business will be electing a new speaker. PUBLIC SKATING The ice is back in the Bayfield Arena for another season of good fun and great exercise. Skating is offered free to the public on the afternoon of Nov. 15 from 1-3 p.m. due to the generosity of sponsors Den Way Auto Body and Deb Johnston of McKillop Insurance.

FOUR SECONDARY SCHOOL PROJECTS RECEIVE YOUTH GRANTS United Way Perth -Huron has awarded three Youth Grants for 2015-2016. The purpose of the youth grants is to assist young leaders in addressing issues that are important to them and their community. Projects must have a lead youth applicant (age 14-25) and an adult trustee to assist in the stewardship of funds. The One Mind Project, from St. Michael's CSS in Stratford, received a grant to obtain Mental Health resources for the students and even the larger community of Perth and Huron. This ties in to their'Safe and Healthy Schools Committee' work. With a guest speaker at a school assembly, followed by a series of discussions and available resources, the student council hopes to take action to reduce the growing stigma around mental health issues. As a result, the cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week481ssue334/tabid/752/Default.aspx 6/13 5/31/2019 Week 48 Issue 334 council expects a more positive awareness and understanding of those who have suffered from or been challenged by mental health issues. The GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) Creating Safe and Inclusive Spaces, from Goderich District Collegiate Institute received a grant to promote a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students. Monthly campaigns such as, "Don't be scared to be yourself', are designed to help students with a sense of belonging in the school community. Through promotional campaigns that support equality and mental health wellness, the group is expecting incidents of bullying to lessen, which in turn should lower the rate of depression and suicide. The Green Ribbon Campaign, consists of a working group of youth at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton affiliated with the Huron -Perth Centre and a similar group at South Huron District High School in Exeter; both groups want to raise awareness and advocate for children's mental health in their schools. The grant will help develop and produce graphic material to identify safe places for students to disclose their struggles with mental health issues and are in need of support. Magnets and signs will be placed on classroom doors, counseling offices and student lounges to indicate an adult champion is available to talk. Being able to promote a safe space also provides a natural opportunity to educate about mental health and reduce stigma. The program anticipates that students will use the safe spaces to discuss and access support. Ryan Erb, executive director of United Way Perth -Huron said, "Again this year I'm inspired by the enthusiasm of our youth and their progressive approaches to dealing with social challenges. We are thrilled to support each of these initiatives." United Way of Perth -Huron improves lives and builds strong local communities by bringing change where it is needed most. The United Way helps people in need through nearly 50 supported partners. REMEMBER ME?

As these performances are popular with all ages, there were two afternoon shows. With help from the Bayfield Optimists, the first 30 children that came each show were costumed as elves and encouraged to join in the action. The Glee Sisters became children for this show, performing in their pajamas, with the songs selected from the popular animated movie featuring Tom Hanks. Admission was by donation of cash or non- perishable food items that were donated to Feed My Sheep (Bayfield Foodbank) based out of Trinity Anglican Church. Hot chocolate and cookies were served after the performance.

One month until Christmas. For those of you who just felt anxiety swell up a little in your soul I apologize but I announce it in memory of my late father. His favorite holiday was Christmas and from January 25th onwards he would count down the months sharing this news at the breakfast table as the dates rolled around. So on every 25th of the month I honor him by continuing the countdown. Christmas is my favorite holiday too and I enjoy all the opportunities that the Advent season affords us. This year I am starting a new Advent tradition and a countdown of my own for our grandchildren. It is based on an idea I borrowed from Pinterest. Over the last few months I collected story books, some with Christmas themes, but not all, at yard sales and flea markets and Melody Falconer -Pounder bookstores collecting both new and gently used titles. A new book for bedtime from Nov. 29 to Dec. 24 — these were lovingly wrapped and then packed in a festive looking box. They will find it under their tree this Sunday night and then hopefully the stories shared will lull them into dreamland. For, after all, it is still a wee bit too early for dancing sugarplums. But there is always time for peace, hope, joy and love A new tradition I think my father would heartily approve of! — 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 519-525-3830. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek481ssue334/tabid/752/Default.aspx 12/13 5/31/2019 Week 48 Issue 334 BAYFIELD BREEZE A—SHARE io � ®LJ S r C R` 'uv Tare QA4'FIELD BREEZE LLICK HERE Founding Members Goderich Honda Bayfield Garage Tuckersmith Communications Co-operative Ltd.
