Members of Bayfield Guiding have supported the global Operation Christmas Child project for over a decade but this year they were told about a similar project run for young native peoples in Canada. The "I Love Attawapiskat" campaign organized by "I love First Peoples" based out of Quebec had set a goal to collect 600 shoeboxes filled with gifts and necessities to be delivered to the 600 students at Kattawapiskat Elementary and Vezina High Schools in Attawapiskat on Dec. 9. The Bayfield Guiding membership shopped as a group for items to fill 10 boxes for both boys and girls aged three to 17 years. In addition to using Unit funds, VHS donated $200 to help cover costs associated with the project and the girls made individual contributions as well. Next year Bayfield Guiding hopes to make this a community wide project to see how many boxes may be sent to let the native youth know that someone cares. (Photo by BJ Wraith) POLITICAL DIFFERENCES OF OPINION COULD AFFECT VILLAGE ISSUES BY KEN LARONE You might say it wasn't a good week for Bayfield last week. Two key community issues hit political road blocks. Mayor Tyler Hessel decided to give more time to developers of a contentious apartment plan proposed for Bayfield. One week earlier his Bluewater Council unanimously voted to reject the 120 suite apartment plan. Hessel's surprise came at a meeting of Huron County Council on Dec. 7. Bayfield ratepayers attending the county council meeting expecting the Bluewater mayor to vote against the 7.4 - acre subdivision proposal located near the intersection of Hwy. #21 and Cameron St. in Bayfield. More than a dozen Bayfield residents who represent several village organizations left the county council meeting upset by the mayor's vote to defer his decision and not reject the project. One day earlier at a meeting at the Bayfield Public Library, Deputy -Mayor Jim Fergusson received a similar reaction of disappointment from representatives of several Bayfield groups who were discussing future plans for redeveloping Bayfield's Main Street. For 10 years the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) with other community groups have been working with Bluewater Council to develop a new infrastructure for the Main Street. A big part of their objective is to protect the respected historical character of the street into the future. At the Dec. 6th meeting the engineering firm of B.M. Ross of Goderich, represented by Matt Pearson, for the first time released a $1.5 million cost estimate for the project. During the financial discussion Fergusson and Bill Rowat, president of the Bayfield Lions' Club and a BLESSINGS Blessings Community Store is a thrift store as well as a food bank on Main Street in Zurich. Their donation box in Bayfield can be found in the Nip N' Tuck lot Oust north of the building). Residents are encouraged to drop in the box clean, gently used clothing and household goods they no longer need or want. The sale of these items in the thrift store help to support the food bank as well as help others. Please call 519 236-4376 with questions. MAIN STREET OPTOMETRIC Dr. Rich Samuell at Main Street Optometric wants to let Bayfield residents know that full eye health examinations are available at his Bayfield office. Examinations are fully covered by CHIP for children and teens, seniors, and those with diabetes. Main Street Optometric uses current technology including a "no -puff' eye pressure check, as well as digital retinal photography to monitor for eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Please call 519 565-2300 to schedule an appointment.

The club extends thanks to those businesses that sponsor this family friendly function including: Bayfield Foodland, Fairholme Dairy (milk), Bayfield Breeze (photography), Brandon's Hardware and Albert Schilbe (Maple syrup).

The 1st Bayfield Pathfinders also helped at the breakfast for the first time this year and their help was also very much appreciated. In addition to a hearty meal, several children took advantage of the opportunity to spend a little time with the jolly old elf. Santa was delighted to greet them all and happy to hand out fifty-five bags of treats that the Optimist Club generously supplied. A few people waited around to see whose name would be drawn for a toy chest of toys with the winner being Diane Snell, of Bayfield, who decided to donate the contents to a local charity. Immediately following the breakfast Santa headed north to his workshop to make final preparations for his Christmas Eve rounds.
