The donation left to the CPHF by Durst will be used towards a future purchase of equipment for the Operating Room at the Clinton Public Hospital. "Donations of any size are always welcomed by the Foundation, as every dollar helps. It is always wonderful when donors are able to look ahead to leave a gift in their Will through Planned Giving. We are so appreciative that individuals are thinking about our hospital, when they are writing their Will," said Darlene McCowan, CPHF coordinator. Planned Giving is the process of making arrangements now to provide a donation in the future. With some careful thought and sound advice, a person can leave a gift that will benefit a community and have a positive impact on the tax status of their estate. Planned Giving can provide individuals with immediate or delayed tax relief, and can help reduce the amount of income tax paid by a person or their estate. This is a way for someone to show appreciation and contribute to the health and wellbeing of family, friends and neighbors. For more information about how someone can leave a planned gift, it is suggested that a financial advisor or lawyer be consulted as they can help structure a will accordingly.

OPTLVIISM GROWING FOR FUTURE OF SOIL HEALTH STORY BY TIM CUMMING When Dr. David R. Montgomery, of the University of Washington, wrote his first book on a soil theme, "Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations", the book was, in the author's own estimation, the kind of historical, academic study one would expect a professor to write. In the book Dirt, the geologist and professor of Earth and Space Sciences looked backwards at the history of civilizations over the centuries and around the world. He found that countries that took their soil for granted paid a heavy price and, as their soil degraded, the health of those societies declined as well. The soil picture he painted in his first book was often a bleak one, Montgomery admits. The research talked about soil loss and soil erosion and about how some tillage practices degraded soil over generations. Countries that once had good soil and crops eventually found themselves unable to feed their own people. Soil that once had healthy, sustaining, active microbiology soon became nothing more than dirt. About ten years after the release of the book Dirt, Montgomery has a new book, called, "Growing a Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life". The author sounds a little more optimistic these days about the current and future prospects for maintaining and improving soil health. The writer, who is speaking in Clinton which has been set to take place on Saturday, June 9 at the Central Huron Community Complex. This year's theme for the Gala is "Vintage Circus" and the event will include dinner, a silent auction, a live auction and other activities throughout the evening. The Master of Ceremonies will be theatre actor, professional speaker and former radio personality, Neil Aitchison. The event is sure to be an evening full of fun, in support of the Clinton Public Hospital. This year the Board of Directors has set a goal for the Gala to raise $200,000, to be used towards the purchase of a new Digital X -Ray Unit for the hospital. Tickets have arrived and just in time for Christmas! They are now available from any CPHF director and at the CPHF Office. Tickets are $100 per person, which includes $60 as an eligible amount for tax purposes. The CPHF Office is open three days per week, so please feel free to call ahead to ensure the office is open before stopping by. For more information, please contact CPHF Coordinator Darlene McCowan by phone at 519 482-3440 Ext. 6297 or by email at cph.foundation@hpha.ca. The CPHF Board of Directors wishes to thank you for your continued support and they look forward to the "2018 Biennial Vintage Circus Gala"! I"ONSONG CHORUS The HuronSong Chorus will be holding two Christmas concerts in support of the Huron Women's Shelter. Dec. 17-18.

APPRECIATION LUNCH cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week5l Issue441/tabid/862/Default.aspx 8/17 6/13/2019 Dr. David R. Montgomery (Submitted photo) Week 51 Issue 441 tonight (Dec. 13), looks to the soil future with a hopeful vision in his new publication. The author took time to speak by phone with local media recently and shared a glimpse of what people will hear when they attend the event in Clinton. The scholar took an extraordinary path into the field of soil research. Montgomery told the media teleconference that he didn't turn to the study of soil as a farmer but as a geologist. His interest in geomorphology — studying the landscape features and processes on the surface of the Earth — led him to increased focus on the importance of soil. Years of study formed Montgomery's understanding of soil issues but one of the most powerful lessons about soil took place in his own backyard. Anne Bikle, Montgomery's wife and co-author, with him, of the book "The Hidden Half of Nature: The Microbial Roots of Life and Health" was able to restore the microbial life of the soil in the garden of their Seattle - area home. If the decline of the soil at their home "could be reversed and reversed surprisingly fast," it got Montgomery thinking about whether the things that were working in their little garden could work in the context of contemporary farming. "I was very curious about whether the techniques used in our yard could be used in a modern agricultural setting," he recalled. The scholar took a six-month leave from his teaching to do something "that academics aren't famous for doing... listening to people." For the next half a year, he spoke with working farmers from several countries around the world. He spoke with producers from smaller farms and larger farms. He learned that some producers were able to dramatically increase soil organic matter, and improve soil biology, through changes in their farming practices — including use of cover crops, diversity of crops, and reducing tillage. What he found gave him hope that contemporary agricultural producers could protect — and even rebuild — soil health. "This whole experience turned me from a real pessimist (about the future of soil health) to someone who is more optimistic that we can turn it around this time," he said. The President of the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association, Doug Walker, took part in the media teleconference and said, "I'm personally looking forward to" the presentation. He adde, "It's great to hear there are people optimistic about the future (of soil health) ... I know I am." The author is guest speaker in Clinton, tonight (Dec. 13) at the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association (HSCIA) Annual General Meeting (AGM). The AGM event takes place at Libro Community Hall in Clinton at 239 Bill Fleming Drive. To find out more about the AGM visit huronsoilcrop.org. Sponsors of the Dec. 13 presentation by Montgomery include the Government of Ontario, Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association, County of Huron, Maitland Conservation, and Ausable Bayfield Conservation. To learn more about author Montgomery and his books you may visit his website at: dig2grow.com. The Village Bookshop from Bayfield will be at the AGM selling copies of Montgomery's books, "Growing a Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life"; "The Hidden Half of Nature, The Microbial Roots of Life and Health". and "Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations".

The event was started to replace the Bayfield Lioness' Children's Christmas Party when that club was dissolved about 13 years ago.

And for the second consecutive year there was the added treat of Shirley Temples for the kiddies as Brian Clarke, of The Ashwood Bourbon Bar, fancied up the orange juice upon request! 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) and the Virutual High School (treat bags). The membership also appreciates the owners and managers of The Ashwood Inn and The Ashwood Bourbon Bar for availing their space to them to hold the event and assisting in making it run smoothly. 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 sixty 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 George Smythe, of Bayfield, who decided to donate the contents to the Big Brothers & Big Sisters of North Huron. This year Optimist Joan Schilbe made a delightful tee -pee and it was raffled as a second prize. Claire McQuarrie was the winner and she donated it to a local community group. Immediately following the breakfast and as the snow began to fall, Santa headed north to his workshop to make final preparations for his Christmas Eve rounds. Danika and Cohen Dykstra are veteran attendees of Breakfast with Santa. This year they fuelled up on eggs and pancakes before visiting with the jolly old elf. cc.villageofbayfiield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week5l Issue441 /tabid/862/Default.aspx 12/17 6/13/2019 Week 51 Issue 441 About 75 youngsters attended this year's breakfast with several of them choosing to spend a few minutes bending Santa's ear. Children of a certain age aren't quite sure what to make of the fellow in the red suit and opt not to get too close. One of the smallest of the wee folks in attendance came most festively dressed! Having your picture taken with Santa at the breakfast is a special part of this Optimist holiday tradition. Grandparents enjoy Breakfast with Santa too. Dean Daer introduced his granddaughter to Saint Nick although she wasn't too sure what to make of him. A lot of the kids came dressed in their pjs - suitable attire for breakfast, of course! cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week5l Issue441 /tabid/862/Default.aspx 13/17 6/13/2019 Week 51 Issue 441 A lot of parents joined in the visit with Santa and posed for a photo as well. Haile Corriveau was very pleased to have a visit with Santa. Siobhan (right) and Aiden Klueskens brought a friend to Breakfast with Santa on Saturday and they all enjoyed a visit with Santa. cc.villageofbayfiield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week5l Issue441 /tabid/862/Default.aspx 14/17 6/13/2019 Week 51 Issue 441 Thirty-two dozen eggs were consumed at the breakfast - the most ever! Moving Breakfast with Santa to a Saturday proved to be a popular idea as The Ashwood Bourbon Bar was pretty much filled five minutes in to the opening of service. �YEIITF �C�LIIRREC rra�arre M E IIAY MI1Tl1A �. ri liiill 519-236-4381 No PIXILATIED - IMAGE OF THE WEEK BAYFIELQ FIC THE 2018-1 SEASON cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek5l Issue441/tabid/862/Default.aspx 15/17 6/13/2019 Week 51 Issue 441 White Squirrel Returns...

Nope she was white and it was more than just fog on the window. It was officially a snowsquall! This will qualify as the first real significant snowfall for our area this December and it is the first since moving back to the farm. I must admit to feeling a bit of a childlike thrill as I peered out the window. Now I do appreciate that there are people that have to travel in this weather and I remain concerned for them and hope all get to where they need to be safely. Melody Falconer -Pounder But there is something simply marvelous about being cozy indoors as the wind blows the white stuff around. And if the weather forecast is accurate it looks like it is going to stay. I am hoping for a white Christmas but with clean roads and clear skies so cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week5l Issue441/tabid/862/Default.aspx 16/17 6/13/2019 Week 51 Issue 441 that all can make it home for the holidays and be cozy indoors together. — Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
