FILM SOCIETY The Bayfield Film Society is taking a break for the month of February but will be starting a brand new film series on March 10 with the film, "Get Low". El Bob Merrimen, of Bayfield, was one of the original dog handlers for the London Police Canine section which cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week6lssue83/tabid/487/Default.aspx 1/11 5/27/2019 Week 6 Issue 83 began as a trial experiment in 1970. It was the first Canine Section for a municipal police force in Ontario and still exists today. Merrimen shared his experiences with this section when he spoke in front of a full house at the Bayfield Town Hall on the afternoon of Jan. 31 as part of the Take Time 2011 series. Merrimen also invited current members of the Canine Section to share their knowledge of the program. A highlight of the lecture occurred when a dog handler and his canine partner gave a demonstration on how they work together when conducting a search.

His job was to ensure that all participants were doing fine as they progressed along. The Varna Nature Trails are considered by the BRVTA membership as the most ambitious of their projects to date. PHOTOS BY DENNIS PAL More than 40 Bayfield and area residents took advantage of a sunny, Sunday, Jan. 30 to enjoy a brisk snowshoe hike through the woods and meadows on the new trails that are being constructed at the Stanley Complex on County Road 3, just west of Varna. Afterwards, they shared a potluck lunch at the Stanley Complex's pavilion. The members of the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) hosted the mid-day excursion, which was extremely well received by participants. "This is the second time that I've walked these new trails," said Pam Bowers. "They are lovely. I'm delighted that we have so much choice close to Bayfield if we want to enjoy a walk in the woods. There is really no excuse for us to sit at home and complain that there's nothing to do on a winter's day and the exercise is good for us." Bayfield River Valley Trail Association president Dave Gillians, labeled this event, "The first annual Bayfield/Varna Snowshoe Walk and Potluck". �IMG_2144.jpg This event gave the trail volunteers an opportunity to show participants the results of thousands of work party hours as they continue to improve the trails. He added, "This event gives the trail volunteers an opportunity to show walkers the results of thousands of work party hours and to encourage new memberships to help ease our financial burden. On the Varna Nature Trails, four bridges have been completed this autumn and all of the materials are in place to build a 65 -foot bridge across a wide gully.

Someday we'd like to make it wheelchair accessible so that everyone, no matter what their abilities, can share this beautiful experience." Roger Lewington, president of the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce, and one of the founders of the BRVTA said, "The trails that have been developed in and around Bayfield over the past four years are splendid in all seasons and we are very fortunate to have this incredible natural resource so close to home. We are hoping that the trails will bring visitors to the area all year round. What a win/win situation. We get a healthier community and create more business opportunities and jobs." One of Sunday's walkers, Mike Roney, called the calming effect of a walk in the woods, "a nature bath". He said, "Recently in the Globe and Mail, there was an article that discussed how the Japanese call frequent tranquil strolls in natural surroundings, away from civilization, "forest bathing". When you take your time and use all of your senses, stress seems to evaporate." People are invited to support the trails financially by joining the BRVTA. Yearly memberships are $20 per individual and $25 per family. These memberships will be available at the event. Or cheques for memberships can be made payable to the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association and mailed to P.O. Box 531 Bayfield, ON. NOM 1GO. Memberships are also available from Outdoor Projects.

We've got some fun plans, a snowshoe hike on the Sawmill Trail and if the snow is the right kind we might try to build a small quinzee. We're also going to do some cooking in a reflector oven the girls and leaders made at our last meeting. This is the first winter in a long time that conditions are perfect to get out and enjoy the snow and everyone is really looking forward to it. There will be some cozy and warm indoor activities too like sewing our own pajama bottoms, making scarves, playing games and learning about some different European cultures. And I know there will be plenty of hot chocolate and yummy food as well. Hope I'm not too excited to sleep as the day draws nearer! - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
