Prepared by the World Day of Prayer Committee in Malaysia it will offer an example of how these Malaysian women "consider themselves Christian neighbors whose informed prayer prompts them to be partners with all who desire that justice will prevail." World Day of Prayer is held in more than 170 countries and regions bringing together Christian women of many traditions to observe a common day of prayer each year, and who, in many countries, have a continuing relationship in prayer and service. In Bayfield the service will be held at St. Andrew's United Church beginning at 2 p.m. Members of The Church on the Way, Knox Presbyterian Church, Trinity Anglican Church and St. Andrew's will cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week101ssuel39/tabid/550/Default.aspx 1/11 5/28/2019 Week 10 Issue 139 I�. It took a flight half the world for Bayfield "neighb, s" to meet but they recently came together at the Cambodian Landmine Museum. Pictured 1-r are: Gordon Fraser, Dorothy Griffith, Aki Ra, founder of the Cambodia Landmine Museum; a museum employee and Richard Fitoussi. BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Bayfield residents, Dorothy Griffiths and her husband, Gordon Fraser, are spending the winter in Siem Reap, Cambodia this year volunteering at Honour Village Cambodia. This is their third year volunteering in Cambodia and their second year at Honour Village that was opened in 2010. Griffiths wrote this from Cambodia to share with Bayfield Breeze readers, "Ever since my husband and I began coming to Bayfield, even before we built our home in 2008, we had heard about Richard Fitoussi. We learned that he was a photojournalist who was very involved with the Cambodia Landmine Museum and the Cambodian Landmine Museum Relief Fund. Oddly enough, although my husband and I have spent the last three winters volunteering in Cambodia, and live in the same town as Richard, we had never crossed paths with him. "Once, a few years back, while we were in Cambodia, one of our friends told us that she had met a man from our hometown. We knew it had to be Richard. When Richard's film, "A Perfect Soldier" was shown at the Bayfield Town Hall, we had previous commitments, and were not able to attend." Griffiths went on to say that one of her items on her "bucket list" for Cambodia was to visit the Cambodian Landmine Museum. She learned, quite by accident, that on Jan. 29, the CLM was having an open house with free admission and free bus transport, and they decided to take advantage of the opportunity. And it was on this tour that the old "it's a small world" scenario came into play. Fitoussi was at the CLM on that day and his film was also being shown. Regarding the introduction, Griffith commented, "It seems so funny that we had to travel half way round the world to meet someone from our hometown. Funnier still was his comment, "I've heard a lot about you!" After all, he's the famous one ... not us." To learn more about the CLM take a tour with Griffith through her Blog: dorothygriffith. blogspot. com Griffith and Fraser have been at Honour Village since early December and will return home to Bayfield in late March. Fraser, who is a woodworker, is building desks, shelving and cupboards for the children. Griffiths is teaching hand sewing and embroidery. "In addition, we both pitch in anywhere we can, helping with child care, preparing and serving meals, painting, sewing or whatever else needs doing," said Griffiths. participate in the service. All in the community, both men and women, are invited to attend. ANGLICAN CHURCH It is a Lenten tradition at Trinity Anglican Church to join in fellowship over a hearty bowl of soup while delighting in a great cinematic work.

NAY MUTUAL COPENHAGENS 519-236-4381 BLUEWATER HERITAGE CONMTTEE ACHIEVEMENTS IN HERITAGE CONSERVANCY RECOGNIZED AT CEREMONY PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER In recognition of Ontario Heritage Week, the Bluewater Heritage Committee, along with Mayor of Bluewater Bill Dowson, held a ceremony to honor local heritage volunteers and their achievements on Feb. 26 at the Bayfield Town Hall. Recognition was given in three categories: volunteers, heritage buildings and historical activities. The volunteers recognized were: Ruth Brown, winner of the Lieutenant Governor's Ontario Heritage Award for Lifetime Achievement; cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Weekl Olssue139/tabid/550/Default.aspx 6/11 5/28/2019 Week 10 Issue 139 Five individuals were recognized by the Bluewater Heritage Committee for their efforts in voluntary heritage service. Three of these people were able to attend the ceremony held at the Bayfield Town Hall on the afternoon of Feb. 26. They are from I -r: Ian Marr, Ruth Brown and Doug Grant, all of Bayfield. Absent were: Dave Johnston Sr. and Wayne Reid. Provincially, Brown was also the recent winner of the Lieutenant Governor's Ontario Heritage Award for Lifetime Achievement. The St. Joseph and Area Historical Society members brought to the ceremony the award they were presented with in December during a ceremony held in Rideau Hall in Ottawa - the Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Community Programming for the production of the play "Narcisse". Volunteer organizations play a key role in keeping heritage alive in Bluewater. Four such groups were recognized for their efforts by the Bluewater Heritage Committee and representing these groups at the award ceremony were I -r: Alma Westlake and Lois Thiel, 150th Anniversary Committee of St. Peter's Lutheran Church Douglas Grant, for over a decade of volunteering for heritage; Dave Johnston Sr., for professional and voluntary heritage service; and Ian Marr and Wayne Reid for voluntary heritage service. Unfortunately, due to poor weather conditions on Feb. 24, Brown was unable to attend the presentation for her provincial honor in Toronto so the crowd of close to sixty people that gathered at the town hall celebrated with her instead. The owners of newly renovated or rebuilt heritage buildings receiving recognition were: Patricia and Steve Baker, for the Virtual High School (built as the Martha Ritz in 1948); Patricia and Roger Lewington, for restoring Rutledge House; Melissa and Henry Silva for JMR Art Gallery (first established as Tippet's Harness Shop). All of these building are located on Bayfield's Main Street, a heritage conservation district. People involved in historical activities being recognized were: Joan Karstens, representing the St. Joseph and Area Historical Society, recipient of the Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Community Programming with the production of the play "Narcisse". Judy Keightley, on behalf of the Bayfield Historical Society, for writing and presenting historical plays. Heather Klopp, representing Zurich's Friends of Hay Township Hall, for saving the aforementioned building. Alma Westlake, of St. Peters Lutheran Church, for the resurrection of tombstones in Zurich's Pioneer Cemetery. Raili Vanderwiel, for preserving Zurich's Dominion Hotel (now Smiley'Z Restaurant). cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Weekl Olssue139/tabid/550/Default.aspx 7/11 5/28/2019 Week 10 Issue 139 in Zurich; Judy Keightley, Bayfield Historical Society; Pat Rowe, Joan Karstens and Liz Ihrig, of the St. Joseph and Area Historical Society; and Heather Klopp, Friends of Hay Township Hall. The owners of newly renovated or rebuilt heritage buildings receiving recognition were I -r: Patricia and Roger Lewington; Melissa and Henry Silva and their daughter, Nelene; Raili Vanderwiel; Patricia and Steve Baker. THE EVOLUTION OF THE BLUEWATER HERITAGE COMNIITTEE*: • 1974 - Ontario Heritage Act proclaimed allowing municipalities and governments to designate individual properties and districts as having cultural heritage value or interest. • 1976 - Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) commissions Nick Hill, architect, to prepare a Heritage District Plan. The BHS was formed as a branch of the Huron County Historical Society in 1965. BHS pioneered the idea of designating a district that would include, historic buildings, wide streetscape, footpaths, trees, gardens, sight lines and a square rather than just designating individual buildings. • 1977 - BHS becomes an affiliate of the Ontario Historical Society, in part to obtain financial support to fulfill its mandate. To maintain the architectural features of the village, BHS successfully advocates to Bayfield's Council to form a Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee, known as LACAC. Doris Hunter was the first chairperson followed by Gwen Pemberton in 1983. The BHS Archives Room was established. The historic clapboard building that the archives calls home was moved to its present location. Dorothy and Harold Ormand had been owners of the building, constructed in 1893, since 1964. The couple donated it to the BHS for the community. Under their new constitution, BHS places plaques on: The Hut, Albion Hotel, Little Inn, Richard Moore House and Lance's Store. • 1982 - Village of Bayfield designates a Heritage Conservation District. • 1983 - Bayfield passes By -Law 194-83, a report entitled, A Heritage District Conservation Plan for Main Street, Clan Gregor Square, and Elgin Place (former name of Main St. North from Colina Street to Bayfield Terrace), prepared by Hill and Borgal. LACAC becomes a key feature in the realization of the Plan's objectives. • 2001 — The province mandates amalgamation of the Villages of Bayfield, Hensall, Zurich, and Hay and Stanley Townships. LACAC became an advisory committee for the Municipality of Bluewater Council and named the Bluewater Heritage Committee. The name changed to reflect the fact that their work had expanded to include built, cultural and natural heritage, making their original name seen inappropriate. * Prepared by Ainslie Willock, Bluewater Heritage Committee member with sources from BHS and the Municipality of Bluewater websites. When members of the 150th Anniversary Committee of St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Zurich began work on a cairn that they knew had been placed on a pioneer cemetery they didn't know what to expect. What they found inside were a large number of tombstones all in excellent condition. Many of the stones were for children under one year of age. The hope is that the site will one day be a park and that a suitable indoor display area can be found for the stones. The carving on this stone has been translated from German: "Here rests Caspar, son of Andreas and Anna D. Hey; born, Nov. 10, 1868; died, June 11, 1869; age seven months. Be comforted this is your resting place, here you will rest (sleep) child after suffering; through an early death you have escaped all anguish and distress." The role of the Bluewater Heritage Committee includes advising council on identifying, protecting and promoting heritage resources that make the community unique and sustainable places to live, as defined by the Ontario Heritage Act and the Heritage Section of the Municipality's Official Plan. Their goal is to build strong relationships with property owners to encourage the good stewardship of heritage resources. They facilitate the exchange of heritage ideas and expertise that contributes to economic and cultural development. They bring passion and dedication to finding solutions to heritage conservation. They ensure that plans for change and progress are developed in a manner that recognizes our heritage. The next meeting of the Bluewater Heritage Committee will be held on March 6 at 7 p.m. at the Hensall United Church, 78 King Street, Hensall, ON.

Doug Yeo, a member of the Bayfield Agricultural Society, had received confirmation that the RCMP Musical Ride will be coming to REACH Huron in Clinton on June 21. Yes, that's right the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and their fine horses are coming. Perhaps what is even more exciting is that the Bayfield Agricultural Society will be co -hosting this event with REACH Huron. Forgive me if I'm wrong here but I don't remember the ride being in the immediate area since 1989 when they performed as Melody Falconer -Pounder part of Klompen Feest events. I was a very young reporter working in Clinton when they performed and I got assigned to cover the event. I remember wanting to capture the majesty of their performance on film without getting trampled. I recall borrowing an extra long lens and being pleased with a stellar close-up of an officer on horseback. I also remember the opportunity to go to the stables afterward and meeting the officers. These moments stand out and I'm sure for those who are able to attend the upcoming show they will have memories of it some twenty years on. According to Yeo, tickets for the 7 p.m. show will be available soon with adult tickets selling for $10; tickets for those under 12 will be slightly less. He also noted they hope to have seating available for up to 2,000 people inside the building so rain won't be an issue. - Melody P.S. Happy Leap Day to all our subscribers!
