Now picture one tablespoon from this pail. That tiny portion is all that's available for human use! And because of population, pollution, over -use and evaporation caused by global warming, this precious little amount is dwindling at an alarming rate. In an effort to raise awareness of this pending water crisis the Ecologos Institute is about to launch the first ever global happening to protect water entitled, Water Hour. It will be held on June 11 starting at 8 p. M. Water Hour takes a whole new approach - it's about falling in love with and celebrating water. It taps into the enormous power of social networks like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube, connecting people across the globe. However people choose to mark the hour, they are invited to get involved in a journey to re -awaken their connection to water, commit to its protection and then to share their experiences via their chosen social network. Visit www.waterhour.org for more information.

Avery is owned by Pat Ringler and Molly belongs to Dorothy Greenaway, of Goderich. PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Thirty of man's best friends took to the streets of Bayfield on the morning of June 6 to "help Canadians with disabilities achieve greater mobility, safety and independence." They were walking to raise funds for the Bayfield Lions' Club's support of the "Purina Walk for Dog Guides". "The dog walk went well, despite the weather, which changed to nice and sunny just as we were taking down the signs!" said Lion Peter Westwood. This was the 22nd year for the Bayfield walk and early estimates would indicate that more than $6,000 was collected. It costs about $20,000 to raise a puppy, train it to become a Dog Guide and place it with someone in need. Over the past 25 years, the Lions Foundation of Canada has helped over 1,500 men, women and children through the use of specially trained Dog Guides. This year the goal is to train 110 Dog Guide teams. Due to the fundraising efforts, Dog Guides are provided free to each individual. "For a community our size, Bayfield's Dog Walk has done a wonderful job in raising money for this worthy cause," said Westwood. The walk raises money that goes directly to five Dog Guide programs: Canine Vision, Hearing Ear, Special Skills, Seizure Response and Autism Assistance. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week241ssue49/tabid/451 /Default.aspx 8/11 5/27/2019 Week 24 Issue 49 The walk started with a bit of rain but that didn't dampen the enthusiam of brothers Bowie and Zowie, who are half Maltese and half Shih Tzu.
