This is a very hazardous and invasive plant that staff members with the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) advise people to avoid all contact with. Giant Hogweed is an invasive plant and very hazardous to people. The ABCA staff are advising people to stay away from it but to contact them regarding its location when sighted. (Submitted photo) "Community members have phoned us with reports of plants they have seen," said Angela Van Niekerk, ABCA wetland specialist. "These plants sometimes turn out to be a harmless native plant such as Purple Angelica but there are some Giant Hogweed plants in our watershed. This plant can pose serious harm to humans if touched." Giant Hogweed can be a serious health hazard. If there is skin contact with this plant, the toxins in the sap, activated by direct sunlight, will cause severe burns. Contact with the plant can create painful blisters, reddening and swelling of the skin after a day, and inflammation after three days. If the sap comes in contact with the eyes, it may even cause temporary or permanent blindness. The severe dermatitis can affect some people for months. Some people exposed to the plant even stay sensitive for years. IF YOU BECOME EXPOSED: 1. Wash all affected areas immediately with soap and water if available. 2. Keep affected areas out of direct sunlight. 3. Seek medical advice immediately. If you see a suspected Giant Hogweed plant, you are advised to report it to the weed inspector at your local municipality and the Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711. Anyone who sees suspect plants on ABCA property should call 519 235-2610 or toll-free 1-888-286-2610 or e-mail avanniekerk@abca.on.ca People who see the plant should not go near it and should definitely not touch it. Anyone who is able to safely take digital photos (at a distance) of the leaf, stem, and flower, can send the photo to the ABCA. The mammoth size of the towering Giant Hogweed is the plant's most distinctive trait. The plant can grow to the size of a full-grown adult and can sometimes reach ten feet in height.

Participants could choose to walk, run, bike, rollerblade or skateboard their way around the course.

Jonathon Heard and Sean Vader, both of Bayfield, always have an imaginative entry in the event. FALCONER -POUNDER The 24th Annual Pioneer Park 5km Race was held on Aug. 2 and has been deemed a resounding success by organizers. It was an idyllic sunny August morning that quickly evolved into an animated gathering of family and friends spanning multiple generations. There were an estimated 235 human racers. A number of dogs joined with their owners to participate in the trek as well. Participants could choose to walk, run, skate or bike their way through the village on a path following small fluorescent arrows. "This year we had our first ever swimmer which was a nice addition," said Ann Laudenbach, race organizer. "Fans and spectators were also aplenty and their cheering was greatly appreciated." According to Laudenbach, the race has, over the years, evolved from a unique community event to a tradition that brings to life the values and mission of Pioneer Park. "The nature of the race and how it's organized brings people together and we connect, for a moment, on a human level which is much needed in an age of technology," said Laudenbach. "It also encourages a physical activity, positive sportsmanship and a competitive spirit - important themes particularly relevant in these times." Laudenbach added that the success of the race relies on the tremendous generosity of the "crew". The people, who year after year, help pull all the pieces together and the sponsors who graciously offer prizes for the winners of the different categories. "I'd like to thank each and every person who in some way participated in the 24th annual race by helping, donating, racing or cheering. Thank you," Laudenbach concluded. "See you next year for the 25th." cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week321ssue57/tabid/461 /Default.aspx 7/11 5/27/2019 Week 32 Issue 57 Again this year it appeared that bicycles were the most popular transportation mode for participants as a large number of cyclists of all ages and skill levels took to the 5 KM course.

July has a certain rhythm to it, it resembles the hum of a cicada; there is always much to be done but the days are long and there is still room for possibilities. But then August comes and the realization hits that time for such summer frivolity is running short. So I encourage each of you to take a moment this week and do something on your summer's possibility list ...
