The goal of CHAP is to promote cardiovascular health in the local community and to raise awareness about the importance of blood pressure monitoring. Trained volunteers will help participants measure their blood pressure and complete a heart and stroke risk profile. A copy of these results will be given to the participant and, with their permission, sent to their family physician and regular pharmacist. The sessions are run from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., on the third Thursday of every month, at Pharmasave Michael's Pharmacy.

The barge was scuttled along the south shoreline in 1973 in an attempt to stop erosion. The piers at the mouth of the harbor demonstrate that this winter has been a memorable one for snow accumulation. A wintery postcard from Bayfield. Bayfield has seen a great deal of lake -effect snow this winter and the result is a village landscape blanketed in the white stuff. Nowhere is this more evident than along the southern beaches and down by the harbor. The lake with waves suspended by snow and ice resembles the surface of the moon. All is still and quiet. So for our subscribers who have headed to warmer climates, closed up the cottage until spring or would just prefer to stay indoors and curl up with a good book, here are a few snapshots of how the village looked on the afternoon of Feb. 7. Late afternoon on Feb. 7 the sun breaks through gently lighting the frozen landscape. The lake with waves suspended by snow and ice resembles the surface of the moon. According to the calendar, there are only 39 days remaining until Spring arrives. The Purple Martins that call the birdhouses at the Main Beach home will surely be packing their bags to head for their summer retreat soon after. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week7lssue84/tabid/488/Default.aspx 7/10 5/27/2019 Week 7 Issue 84 Taken from the second landing on the Pioneer Park steps, a break in the pack ice fairly close to shore is still evident. 1- y Bayfield Mews Exclusive Sgt Cpmmunity One floor iownhanies 514. 555 -8543 www-baylieldmews•ca PIXILATED - IMAGE OF THE WEEK It will be some time yet before summer visitors delight in making the trek down the stairs from Pioneer Park to catch some rays on the beach.

It was a round about way of resolving to exercise more but a resolution that I am having a better time committing to than riding the recumbent bike on a regular basis. Thanks to a little pedometer application on my husband's Ipod Nano I can successfully say I have taken more than 80,000 steps since the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1, 2011. The majority of those steps have been around our country block, achieved despite snowstorms and -25 C temperatures. It is a great accomplishment for me to consistently walk 3.3 KM five times a week and I hope I can keep it up. Melody Falconer -Pounder My first target was this past Saturday, Feb. 5 when I joined the members of Bayfield Guiding on a snowshoe walk on the Sawmill Trail with Tyler Hessel from Outside Projects as our trail guide. This was the first time I'd been on snowshoes in over a decade and I must say I like the improvements they've made to them. The girls took to snowshoes like ducks take to water but they were plum tuckered out at the end of the 2.1 KM trail. I was happy to note that I wasn't tired and was sad to have to take the snowshoes off, another reason to resolve to keep stepping out this winter. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
