exploring the Dr. Suess tale, "The Grinch who Stole Christmas" in Story and Song for the entire
family.
This village holiday tradition will be held on Nov. 18 at the Bayfield Town Hall and due to
popular demand there will be two shows, the first at 1:30 p.m. followed by another at 3 p.m.
The town hall stage will become Whoville, with a huge colorful banner made by Helen
Varekamp. The Glee Sisters become Whos dressed in their Christmas sweaters and with
homemade Christmas fascinators in their hair. Roberta Stemp will be transformed into The
Grinch, accompanied by the dog "Max", otherwise known to all as Woosie from Louisa Street.
At this special musical event the Optimist Club of Bayfield will be providing a small, rather noisy
gift for the first 75 children at each show. After the story and song, attendees are invited to stay
for cookies and hot chocolate served courtesy of the BTHHS.
Admission to the performances is a cash or non-perishable food donation to the Bayfield Food
Bank (Feed My Sheep).

Dr. Montgomery is a geologist and professor of
Earth and Space Sciences at the University of
Washington. His research focuses on how soil
erosion has negatively impacted civilizations around the world. Dr. Montgomery highlights
entrepreneurial farmers who focus on improving soil health and regenerative practices. The
presenter says it is possible for an agricultural producer to improve their bottom line while
mending damaged environments. The author shows how no -till, cover crops, and diverse crop
rotations can sustain the indispensable soil microbial ecosystem. This, in turn, protects a
farmer's crops and livelihood, according to Dr. Montgomery. To learn more about the author
and his books visit his website at: dig2grow.com.
The HCSCIA is also proud to welcome another
presenter, Dr. Rene Van Acker, professor and
dean of the Ontario Agricultural College (OAC)
at the University of Guelph, speaking on the
value of soil. Dr. Van Acker is co-founder of the
Food Institute at the University of Guelph (now
the Arrell Food Institute). The speaker's
research interests include weed management
and agronomy. He has published more than
130 peer-reviewed works and more than 300
other non -peer reviewed contributions.
The President of HCSCIA, Doug Walker, said,
"The AGM event is a wonderful chance to enjoy
good food, renew old friendships, meet other
people working in agriculture, find out about
innovations in preserving soil health, and to
learn from world-class speakers."
Dr. Rene Van Acker (Submitted photos)
Talks by Dr. Montgomery and Dr. Van Acker should be fascinating additions to this year's

Constance Russo welcomed the approximately 80 guests who entered the front door of the Huron Residential
Hospice on Monday afternoon as part of the Coffee Tree event organized by Lynne and Dave Gillians, of Bayfield.
Bayfield resident Brenda Blair looks over the plans for the Huron Residential Hospice in the sitting area of the
facility.
Bayfield volunteers and fundraisers for the Huron Residential Hospice have taken on this room at the facility as
friends at the Huron Residential Hospice (HRH)
near Clinton. This was the perfect time for the
invitees, most Bayfield residents, to come and
tour the facility, to learn first hand about the vision
for the property, enjoy fellowship over a hot
beverage and make a donation to the cause.
Dave Gillians was pleased to report that those
who attended the afternoon contributed $7,000
for the "Bayfield Kids' Room" at the HRH.
Bayfield's fundraising team identified the kids'
room to be their community mission.
According to Gillians, it is likely that each resident
of the Hospice will have a minimum of six young
people visit. The group feels that visiting young
people need and should have a sanctuary away
from grieving adults. It is also statistically likely
that some of the residents of the hospice will be
young people, and the Bayfield team also wants
to be in a position to fund any special equipment
that these youngsters require.
Gillians noted that the team was incredibly
pleased with the success of the day.
"Perhaps most importantly, the Huron Residential
Hospice has many more enthusiastic supporters
who will spread the word about this wonderful
facility and what it will mean to all of us who plan
to spend the rest of our lives here," said Gillians.
During the tours of the HRH, visitors marveled at
the layout and extravagant finishes in the house.
These must have made it an interesting place to
live but an even more ideal setting for a
residential hospice. The many sitting areas, the
two dining areas, the tiled flooring, and the sheer
size of the public areas should work well when
four families, spouses, children and friends are
sharing the space with staff and volunteers.
Facts and Features of the Huron Residential
Hospice:
• This project is a great example of Huron County
frugality and one of the great benefits of living
here. The house and property were purchased for
$950,000. When the insurance appraisers went
through the building, they insisted that the
replacement value of the buildings was
$1,500,000. That's not including the 12.5 acres of
land.
• The HRH is centrally located within the county -
less than five minutes from the traffic lights in
Clinton or 15 minutes from Bayfield.
• Once all renovations are complete, the total cost
will be about $600,000 for each of the four beds.
In residential hospices across Canada, new
hospice beds average about $1 million each.
• Since there are 12.5 acres of land surrounding
the house, this residential hospice is scalable
meaning that someday it could be expanded. In
Huron County, this means that the community
should be set for 50 or 100 years. The house can
grow as needs arise and funds permit.

their pet project. This shall be the "children's room" where youngsters who come to visit relatives receiving care
can go to play.
About 80 people attended a Coffee Tree at the Huron Residential Hospice on Monday afternoon hosted by Lynne
and Dave Gillians and volunteers. Visitors could enjoy fellowship over a hot beverage and sweets as well as take
a tour of the facility.
Bayfield residents Ken Larone and Dave MacLaren discuss the facility project near the coffee bar.
• The numbers are compelling now! According to
the Huron County Planning Department, between
500 and 600 residents of Huron County die each
year.
• According to one report, each year, about 90
families in Huron County will be in a care crisis
situation. This four bed residential hospice will
give between 50 and 60 of them, the comfort of
knowing that their loved one will receive
dramatically improved quality of care in a caring,
dignified and supportive environment.
• The grounds are beautiful, and eventually, family
members will be able to take a break and go for a
walk on a small trail and sit on a bench just to
relieve some of their stress and anguish.
• According to the "Vision" for this hospice, each
room will have wide enough patio doors to allow
beds to be wheeled out onto a deck or patio on
nice days.
• The rooms will be large enough for family to
gather and for some to remain overnight with their
loved one if necessary. There will be no limits on
the number of visitors or visiting hour restrictions.
• A new circular driveway and an adequate
parking area will be amongst the first renovations.
• Guests and residents will be protected from the
elements when the entrance door is covered a by
new portico.
On Monday, Gillians learned that the overall cost
of the completed four-bedroom hospice, including
all operating expenses for the first year, will be
less than originally estimated.
"The budget has been reduced to $2.1 million that
is an incredible bargain when compared to other
similar hospice projects," he said. "I also learned
that the plan is to open with the existing three
beds before April 2018 and only proceed with the
planned addition when funds are available."
But if events like the Coffee Tree are any
indication fundraising momentum is just starting
to build.
"This is one of those days when we feel very, very
fortunate to live in Bayfield!" said Gillians, on
behalf of the Bayfield fundraising team for the
HRH.

What would you do if you went to the grocery store and discovered that ice cream was selling for $23.99 a carton, a box of
diapers was $79.99, a frozen pizza, $15, a toothbrush $9?
What would you do if this were the only grocery store in town? In fact the only grocery store for hundreds of miles.
What would you do? Hopefully you'd roll over and wake up out a sound sleep. For us these scenarios are just bad dreams. But
for the people in Northern Canada these grocery prices are reality.
In researching the Girl Guides of Canada Action on Poverty Challenge for Bayfield Guiding I have been learning a lot about
how expensive it is to live in the Arctic Region.
Tonight we are taking the girls shopping so that they can purchase their "I Love First Peoples" shoebox gifts. For many it is their favorite meeting of the
year as the girls get to shop for boys and girls their own age remembering to pack everything from socks to toothbrushes as well as gifts and a treat or two
- things that our youngsters happily take for granted that would be most appreciated by the children and youth in such northern communities such as
Attawapiskat, ON.
Where once we looked outside of Canada to support worthy causes we are now looking in our own "backyard" in support of our First Peoples.
Another initiative Bayfield Guiding is taking on this year is the one time sponsorship of a family of six living in Pangnirtung, Nunavut - located on the
southeastern shore of Pangnirtung Fjord on the south shore of Baffin Island's Cumberland Sound.
Soon the girls will be given the task of dividing up an essential list of groceries, hygiene and cleaning products for the family as well as sending them some
new clothes and toys.
We are very happy to report that Bayfield's Virtual High School has donated $200 to help with the shipping and handling costs for the shoebox project.
Anyone who would like to help the girls with either activity are more than welcome to contact me to see how they can help. Anyone interested in
sponsoring a family on their own should visit the Facebook Group — "Helping our Northern Neighbors" or visit https://www.ilovefirstpeoples.ca/shoebox-
gifts to learn more about how to get involved in the shoebox project.- Melody
