FALL fM<E
The organizers of the popular Bannockburn Fall Hike, held at the conservation area of the
same name, are adding a new twist to an autumn tradition by introducing geocaching to the
40th annual event set for Oct. 6.
Staff members of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) will introduce
geocaching at the event and interested hikers can learn how to find hidden treasures using
Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
"This is the first time we have added geocaching to the Bannockburn Fall Hike," said Denise
Iszczuk, conservation education technician. "Geocaching is just one of many ways people can
enjoy this hike and conservation areas."
Geocaching is a popular pastime for people who look for hidden caches that may be in place
anywhere in the world, from a nature area to an urban centre. The cache is hidden in a
waterproof container along with a logbook. People who find the cache can record their visit and
take a trinket. A rule of geocaching is "if you take something out, you must put something back
in" to the cache.

With a stellar cast of many well-known Bayfield
residents, including the return of the invincible

Day -Lewis, guests are invited to help them solve the
murder.
The evening to be held on Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. in the
Town Hall will include a three -course dinner featuring
Mango Chicken (not Curry!) and a special "birthday
surprise" presentation display of "Bollywood"
dancing.
Tickets at $35 each are limited so people are advised
to book early. Tables for four or more can also be
reserved.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
This fall is the 100th anniversary of the Great Lakes
Storm of November 1913. This storm was the
deadliest and most destructive natural disaster ever
to hit the lakes. The storm killed more than 250
people, destroyed 19 ships and stranded 19 others.
Immense cargoes of coal, iron ore, and grain were
lost. Pieces of the wrecks have surfaced along our
coast for the past 100 years.
The Great Lakes Storm 1913 Remembrance
Committee has organized a series of nine media
presentations and talks about the storm to take place
every Thursday from now until Nov. 7. The nine
events will be held at the Huron County Museum in
Goderich starting at 7:30 p.m. Refreshments and
snacks will be served beforehand. The price is $5 at
the door or $30 for the series.
The Bayfield Historical Society is sponsoring one of
these presentations on Oct. 3, entitled, "The Weather
Bomb of Early November 1913" presented by Jay
Campbell, noted meteorologist.
Other titles in the series are: Lake Fury, Storms of the
Century, Oct. 10; Images of Goderich Harbour, Oct.
17; Overview of the November Storm of 1913, Oct.
24; and finally, the Edmond Fitzgerald Investigations
on Nov. 7.
Also in support of the 100th year Storm
remembrance, Barb Durand, a BHS board member,
is using her graphic arts skills to create an authentic
shipwreck map of Lake Huron showing the vessels
lost in the Great Storm. The map will be on display at
the Bayfield Archives.

For more information on geocaching on conservation lands visit abca.on.ca and type
'geocaching' into the search tool at the top of the home page. People with GPS -enabled mobile
phones or handheld GPS units can find cache sites by using map coordinates such as latitude
and longitude or Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM). These coordinates are often posted on
geocaching.com or opencaching.com.
People who want to try geocaching will need a GPS unit. Contact ABCA in advance of the hike
to ask about borrowing a GPS unit. Geocachers should also bring a compass, local map, and
pen or pencil. Organizers encourage people to also bring a refillable water bottle, snack, bug
spray, and other hiking supplies when they go geocaching.
Whether geocaching interests people or not, there are many ways to enjoy nature at the
Bannockburn Fall Hike. The fall hike will take place on Sunday from 1-4 p.m. at Bannockburn
Conservation Area, which is located between Bayfield and Brucefield, north of Varna, at 76249
Bannockburn Line. The fall hike combines health, nature, and education about soil, water, and
living things.
ABCA staff members will be located at stops along the trail to talk about plants and animals
(flora and fauna), new research, the first Main Bayfield Watershed Plan, the new Watershed
Report Card, rural stormwater management, geocaching, and more.
For more information on 40 years of Bannockburn Fall Hikes, visit abca.on.ca and type
'Bannockburn Fall Hike' or 'Bannockburn Conservation Area' into the search box at the top of
the home page. The Bannockburn Fall Hike is free but donations are always appreciated.
Participants are encouraged to 'lug a mug,' to reduce waste, and enjoy local apple cider. Local
apples will also be available for a snack.
The Main Bayfield Advisory Committee has just completed the Main Bayfield Watershed Plan,
after almost two years of work by the community. The steering committee will release the plan
at 1 p.m. at the Bannockburn Conservation Area to kick off the Bannockburn Fall Hike. The
Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Family Foundation, a U.S. foundation dedicated to nurturing
environmentally healthy and culturally vibrant communities in metropolitan Detroit and
supporting initiatives to restore the Great Lakes Basin, provided ABCA with $100,000 for its
work with landowners to conduct community-based planning at the local watershed scale, and
other work to improve water quality, between 2011 and 2013. The project has involved the
community of the Main Bayfield River Watershed that includes Trick's Creek Watershed.
BAYFIELD CALENDAR
May by Mark Laurin
The 2014 Bayfield calendar was released recently.
The Bayfield Lions' Club sponsored the calendar this
year working jointly with the Photography Club of
Bayfield (PCoB).
Thirteen photographs selected for the 2014 Calendar
— one for each month and one for the cover - are
extraordinary images of various scenes and subjects
around the village and are identifiably Bayfield.
The calendar is now on sale for $10 at the Bayfield
Archives, The Village Book Shop and at various
stores throughout the village. The proceeds from the
sale of calendars are shared equally between Lions
and the volunteer organizations and merchants who
sell the calendar. The Bayfield Lions' Club will use its
share of the proceeds to fund its various projects in
the community.

VOTE FOR A NEW NAME FOR THE
FALL FAIR AT SOCIETY MEETING
The 2013 Bayfield Fall Fair is over and planning is already taking shape for the next fair with
the theme. "The Cows are at the Gate in our 1-5-8."
According to Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) President, Doug Yeo, "The after fair meeting it
September looked at our successes with the Ribs and Music Fest, the increased number of
exhibitors in several sections, the increased donations for the parade, the new miniature horse
show, the new look at the pet display building, the display at the entrance of the arena, and the
new leaders we attracted."
The Christmas wreath fundraiser is being organized again. If anyone wishes to help make the
grapevine wreaths that are the backing for the greens, contact Don or Joan Brodie at 519 263-
2404. Young people may wish to volunteer to try pulling the grape vines down for others to
weave into wreaths. Possibly a Saturday will be arranged for a crew to start the process.
New ideas for the 2014 fair are being explored. Any ideas or suggestions from the community
could be brought to the next BAS meeting on Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Andrew's United
Church. At that meeting a vote will be taken on suggestions that have been collected for the

the Varna Nature Trails. (Submitted photo)
People love to go on vacation and explore nature but
how often do they venture out in their own
backyards? Bayfield and area is very fortunate to
have the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association
(BRVTA) who have created and maintain some
wonderful trails for the public to use free of charge.
Two such trails are the Varna Nature Trails — known
individually as Mavis' Trail and the Taylor Trail and
located 1.6 KM west of Varna off Mill Road. Entry is
off the Stanley Complex parking lot.
Mavis' Trail is 2.5 KM in length and boasts a three on
the scale of difficulty. Hikers and pets on leashes are
allowed. Limited cross-country skiing and biking is
also allowed on this trail. It has no hazards.
The Taylor Trail is 1 KM in length and has a difficulty
level of one. There is compacted gravel on some of
the trail that makes it suitable for wheelchairs and
infant strollers. Hikers and pets on leashes as well as
cross-country skiers and snowshoe enthusiasts are
welcome.
These trails are built and maintained by community
donations and volunteers. Hikers do so at their own
risk. Anyone who would like to help out, donate, or
be involved by becoming a member, please contact:
Bayfield River Valley Trail Association, P.O. Box 531,

The Childhood Cancer Research Association
(Childcan) and Virtual Highschool.com (VHS) are
pleased to announce their partnership to deliver a
new program that provides Online Learning
Bursaries for children coping with cancer.
Together they hope to offer a solution that enables
children to continue their education and helps
families to deal with the difficulties associated with
cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. With
this partnership they hope to enhance the quality
of life for children affected with childhood cancer —
this means helping to provide education that is
available at any time and in any place.
With this partnership, VHS and Childcan hosted
the first annual Run4Kids 5 km run/walk in
Bayfield on Sept. 28 to create awareness and
lend support to children and families coping with
childhood cancer. Close to 160 people from
Bayfield and surrounding communities took part in
the run. The funds raised are still being
calculated. Everything donated will go directly to
Childcan to help provide educational support and
opportunities. VHS will be covering all costs
associated with organizing the race and will
donate all course and administrative fees free of
charge to children in the Online Learning Bursary
Program. The bursaries will cover all teacher fees
associated with enrollments through the
partnership.
The overall male/female winners of the race were
Derek Lincoln, of London, with a time of 16:27
and Claire Flaming, of Londesborough, with a
time of 21:41.
Wolfgang Schulz, a volunteer with Run4Kids, provided
both encouragement and directional assistance to runners
as they made their first turn on the course.

SUBMISSIONS
There are some people in this world that you simply never forget your first introduction too — there is just something about them
that leaves a memorable impression. For me that person was Rev. George Youmatoff.
The first time I met him was back in my days as a young reporter for the Clinton News -Record. I was covering an evening
event at the Clinton Legion. I don't remember the event but I do remember I photographed Rev. Youmatoff and then
approached him afterward to get his name. He didn't necessarily trust that I would spell his last name correctly but he assured
me it was just as it sounded — You — Mat —Off!
Melody Falconer -Pounder I ran into him again one rare, sunny November morning in Clan Gregor Square at my first Remembrance Day service as the
new Brown Owl for 1st Bayfield Brownies. My charges and I were out in full force to represent Guiding at the cenotaph service
of which Rev. Youmatoff always played an integral role. After the service he came over to greet the girls and explained to them that he had once been
made an honorary Tweenie! My little ladies were no doubt left with a powerful first impression of Rev. Youmatoff as well that day — looking down on them
with a charming smile his priestly robes fluttering in the autumn breeze.
In more recent years as I became more involved at Trinity Anglican Church I had the honor of assisting ministers with Communion — serving the chalice to
the congregation. It was on these occasions that George set the standard for me on just how deep a person's faith could be. Some Sunday mornings
George's health would become a concern and he would have to leave the service for the hospital but never before he had taken Communion. It was in
those moments that Rev. Youmatoff left his biggest and most lasting impression on me.
