Jessie Payne, of Bayfield and Sam Murray, of Brucefield, are on their way to the Canada Wide
Science Fair (CWSF) in Toronto after taking first place in the Senior Science and Inventor's
Fair held on March 30 in Seaforth.
The two Grade 7 students from Huron Centennial School took part in the event that was open
to all Grade 7-12 students in both the Avon Maitland District School Board and Huron -Perth
Catholic District School Board.
The Science and Inventors' Fair allows students to show their own research or invention to a
series of judges. The projects can take the form of an experiment, a research paper, or an
engineering project and students are asked to create a report, design a display and be
prepared to present their project to the judges. The process usually begins in the classroom
where the teacher is using the science fair or invention process as a means of teaching the
scientific method.
Jessie and Sam set out to discover if algae could convert car emissions into oxygen.
"The idea came from a talk that my mom and I had when we were driving on our way to
hockey," said Jessie. "We discussed trying to solve existing problems with what we already
have instead of coming up with new materials that could create more problems."
From that discussion she and Sam began to do research into photosynthesis; learning that
algae can convert more carbon dioxide than any other living plant material. So then they
decided to focus their attention on algae.
"We took two jars and put algae in one and then we injected car emissions into the jars and
recorded how long it took to convert the carbon dioxide," said Jessie. "By using carbon dioxide
detectors we learned that in 12 hours the algae had taken the levels to under 30 parts per
million which is considered to be a safe level, while the jar without algae sat at 500 parts per
million."
Jessie and Sam will share their findings at the CWSF to be held at the Seneca College-
Newnham Campus in Toronto from May 14-21. This week long national competition will bring
together over 500 finalists and 500 highly qualified judges from local colleges, universities, and
public and private sector labs. The students will compete for medals, cash awards,
scholarships and other prizes worth $1 million.
Apart from the science, the fair is its own unique experience with banquets, sightseeing tours,
special events, dances and more. According to their website, the CWSF goes out of its way to
create an exciting cultural experience for all participants. The CWSF is organized by Youth
Science Canada in partnership with a local volunteer committee.

Exhibition. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder)
The Bayfield Historical Society's 11th annual Bayfield Collector Show and Exhibition is fast
approaching. The event will be held on Apr. 16-17.
The exhibition will be held at the Bayfield Community Centre and run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
each day. The official opening ceremony will take place on Saturday at 1 p.m. with several
local dignitaries in attendance.
Historical Society member, Phil Gemeinhardt works very hard all year round at finding new and
different collections and exhibitors for this event. Pedal tractors, vintage toys, rope making,
museum and archive displays, sewing, dolls, china and sometimes even the weird and the un-
identifiable; this show offers something of interest for everyone.
Popular aspects of the show continue to be the silent auction, appraisal corner and lunch
booth.
The silent auction always has a vast selection of items generously donated by area businesses
and society friends. Organizers note that bidding on the items is brisk on both days but to be
sure to be the winning bidder it is best to be there when the auction closes at 4 p.m. on
Sunday.
For more than a decade now, Tim Saunders, owner of Three Squirrels Antiques as well as a
Historical Society past -president, has volunteered his time to preside over the appraisal table.
With over 20 years experience in the antiques and collectables business, there is very little he
cannot appraise. Those who wish to consult with him should bring no more than three items
per person and pictures of furniture or other large items will suffice.
The Bayfield Historical Society is able to carry on many local projects because of the generous
donations they receive at the door to this event as well as at the appraisal table. The spirited
bidding that occurs on many of the silent auction items also makes this the largest annual
fundraiser for the society.
For exhibitor or show information please contact: Phil Gemeinhardt, 519 482- 9230 or Binnie
Sturgeon 519 565-2376.
$90 for a ten -pass card or there is an $11 drop-in fee.
Ten pass cards are also honored at the one-hour

at 7 p.m. and some Wednesday mornings starting at
10:30 a.m. at the Seaforth Community Centre.
Licensed Zumba instructors, Alison De Groot and
Lorraine Dietz teach the classes. For more
information email De Groot or Dietz at

THE BAYNELD TREE PROJECT
LOUISA STREET LOCATION OF FIRST PLANTINGS

STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -
POUNDER
The Bayfield Tree Project is about to take root.
Following a year of planning, information nights,
inventory and writing grant requests, the first trees
in this project should be planted at the end of April
and early May.
The first plantings will take place on Louisa Street
and the committee is in the process of receiving
confirmations from homeowners on that street
that they will act as stewards for these trees
(watering) to help them get off to a healthy start.
The committee has to make one more trip back to
Municipality of Bluewater Council to ensure that
the selected tree planting locations, that are all on
municipal land, are suitable with regards to
locates.
The Bayfield Tree Project Committee (BTPC)
consists of a core group of nine individuals and
anyone who is interested in helping with the
project is invited to join. The current members are:
Roma Harris, Ainslie Willock, Shelagh Sully,
Annie Johnston, Susan Drew, Mike Mahaffey,
David MacLaren, Bill Rowatt and Sondra Buchner.
They applied for and received a TD Friends of the
Environment Foundation Grant of $1,600 with an
application entitled, "Re -leafing our Community:
Reforesting the Bayfield Settlement Area". The
money must be used to plant trees and it was
decided that municipal land along the Bayfield
River Valley Trail Association's (BRVTA) Heritage
Trail would be a good place to start.
"The Bayfield Tree Project is under the umbrella
of the trail association and they are under the
umbrella of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authority (ABCA). Parts of the trail, Main Street,
Clan Gregor Square and Pioneer Park, are under
the auspices of other committees so for now we
are concentrating on such areas as Louisa Street,
Bayfield Terrace and Colina Street," said Sondra
Buchner.
The BTP was launched at a recent Earth Hour
concert held in the village. Donations collected at
that event totaled nearly $700 but the need for
funds will be ongoing. Anyone who would like to
make a contribution will receive a tax receipt for
donations of $20 or more. Cheques should be
made payable to the Ausable Bayfield
Conservation Authority Foundation with Bayfield
Tree Project written on the memo line. A donation
of $150 to $200 would purchase a tree.
"We are going to establish a display
acknowledging our donors, corporate sponsors

and memorial gifts. This will be shown at the
library," said Buchner.
For the Louisa Street planting two species of trees
will be used. On the East side of the street Sunset
Red Maple will be planted and on the West side,
where there are overhead wires, Paul's Scarlett
Hawthorne, a shorter tree, has been selected for
planting.
Buchner explained that the Maple is a vibrant red
in Autumn while the Hawthorne blooms with
vibrant pink flowers in the Spring. The trees are
being purchased from a Huron County supplier.
This business will also plant and stake the trees.
The trees will be between six to eight feet in
height when first planted.
"We endeavored to choose native trees, however,
in some cases non-native species are being used,
as they have proven to be more hearty when it
comes to the environment they are faced with
such as, nearby asphalt, combating road salt etc.
We need to stick with what will grow," said
Buchner.
It is the long-term goal of the BTP to complete the
Heritage Trail and then to branch out to replace
old, dying trees and populate treeless areas of the
village. They would also like to work with people
in other parts of Bluewater to encourage tree
planting across the municipality.
The Bayfield River watershed has a particular
challenge. The 2007 Watershed Report Cards of
the ABCA states that the Bayfield River
watershed has a total forest cover that is low, in
general, at approximately 10 per cent and very
sparse, as low as five per cent, in the upper
reaches.
"We want to carry on with the good work that the
Bayfield Millennial Conservation Trust started
about 10 years ago," said Buchner. "It is a huge
project that will take years and years. It is a vision
for the future."
Anyone who would like to participate in The
Bayfield Tree Project or would like to
make a financial contribution are asked to contact
Buchner, 519 565-2518 or email
tsbuchland@tcc.on.ca or Roma Harris, 519 565-

If memory serves, I think someone dubbed him Horatio. He is that strong presence near the corner of Main and Charles – the
sailor in the bright yellow slicker carved from wood and rooted to the ground by cement. He was the vision of the late Harry
MacDonald, one of the many proprietors to own the business on that corner, constructed by John Tippet in 1897.
Prevailing winds, harsh rains and winters have not been kind to this once sturdy figure. He is slowly wasting away. The new
owners of the property understand the attachment that people have for this sculpture but are growing concerned that he may
soon become a danger to passersby. They are hoping that an individual or a group of people might be interested in preserving
