EXTREME SUMMER ADVENTURE VIA Kyrart Studio and Outside Projects, both on Main St. in the village, ran an Extreme Outdoor Adventure and Art camp from July 25-29. In this photo, the day campers displayed their finished boards, posing alongside some of their camp leaders. (Submitted photos) Skateboard, biking, hiking and art, what could be more fun? Two local businesses, Outside Projects and Kryart Studio, located on the villages, Main St., once again joined their expertise to provide just those types of experiences through their Extreme Art and Outdoor Adventure day camps. The camps are jammed packed full of activities, and throughout the weeks, campers challenge themselves in various outdoor and artistic pursuits. At the beginning of the week, campers begin designing their own skateboard logo for their own skateboard that they design and build throughout the first few days of the camp. The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) are asking members of the community to save the date for the of the village's 3rd Annual Terry Fox Run set for Sept. 18. It will be an all-inclusive, non-competitive, family oriented event. The Bayfield run is a BRVTA initiative and is scheduled to start and end at Clan Gregor Square. Registration will open at 8:30 a.m. with the event to begin at 9:30 a.m. To be a part of the Terry Fox Run people can choose to walk, run, bike or wheel. In town there are two routes; the two kilometer route is suited to wheelchairs, strollers or roller blades and the five kilometer route is perfect for running and walking. Participants up for more of a challenge can choose to walk or run distances of either seven or 10 kilometers. These longer distances include the Sawmill Trail Loop, which travels along the Bayfield River. There is also an in -town 10 kilometer route for cyclists. There is no minimum pledge and donations can be collected through pledges, personal donations or on- line pledging. Pledge sheets will be available soon. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY Once again, the Bayfield Fall Fair will play host to a Preliminary Competition as part of the Western Fair Youth Talent Search on the opening night of the fair, Aug. 19. All summer long, aspiring entertainers between the ages of six and 21 have been performing at preliminary competitions, like the one planned to take place in the Bayfield Community Centre at 7 p.m. on the Friday of the fair. Competitors hope to win a chance to represent their area at the finals to be held at the 2011 Western Fair in London this September. There are a number of prizes to be won at the Western Fair in the Junior (ages six to 12 years) and Senior (ages 13-21) Divisions. In the Senior Division, one act at the Western Fair finals will ultimately be chosen to compete at the national championships in Calgary on Nov.19. For more information on the Bayfield Talent Search including, rules, regulations, and online registration forms, please visit the Bayfield Fall Fair website at www. bayfieldfallfair.ca. Interested contestants need to be sure to read the rules thoroughly before entering. Entries must be made in duplicate on the Official Youth Talent Entry Form. All required information must be provided, and cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week331ssuel10/tabid/520/Default.aspx 2/10 5/27/2019 Week 33 Issue 110 The camp combined art with outdoor activities. One excursion was a hike on Lobb's Trail near Holmesville. The campers had the opportunity to get their "feet" wet in the Maitland River. In town bike safety, along with various skills of balance, turning, and control are emphasized in the first days of camp. Then later in the week, Outside Projects staff and campers head out to Lobb's Trail near Holmesville to spend a whole day of riding and challenging themselves further with more technical trail riding along the Maitland River. A hike on the local Woodland Trail was also a part of the campers' week long schedule of activities. Hiking is another important component of the week where campers get to enjoy local trails around the Bayfield area and gain knowledge about the surrounding area along with water safety and quality initiatives important for the area such as Blue Flag along the Bayfield Marina and beaches. The most popular part of the camp tends to be the process of designing and painting their skateboards through Kryart Studio. The youth gain knowledge in assembling their own board and then travel to the local skate park to get used to their new boards and learn some new tricks. Campers are sure to come home tired every day after learning new skills in biking, boarding, and art. Another Extreme Outdoor Adventure and Art Camp is scheduled for Aug. 15-19. Anyone interested in learning more should contact outsideprojects@tcc.on.ca or 519 565- 8514.

LEVEL ONE LOW WATER ADVISORY ISSUED FOR WATERSHED The Ausable Bayfield Water Response Team (WRT) has issued a Level 1 Low Water Advisory for the entire Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) watershed. The team made the decision based on very low stream flows and July rain patterns. The spring season was wetter than usual but July precipitation amounts were below normal across most of the ABCA watershed. Conditions were hot and dry in July (with the exception of some rainfall at the first of the month and between 25 and 40 mm during the last week of the month). Most areas of the watershed observed nearly no rainfall for three consecutive weeks, according to Davin Heinbuck, ABCA Lands and Water Technologist. "The prolonged dry spell had a significant negative impact on stream flows in local watercourses," Heinbuck said. The most recent rainfall was timely and did provide some flow to area watercourses, he added but much of the water was soaked up at the ground surface. Flows, as of early August, once again reflect a Low Water Condition. If hot and dry conditions persist through August and September, residents of the watershed may experience their driest summer since 2007. During 2007, the WRT issued a Level 2 Low Water Advisory and considered moving into a Level 3 for the first time in the ABCA watershed since the inception of the program in 2001. WRT Dave Frayne said that conservation of water is very important at this time to prevent further reduction in water levels and availability. "We encourage everyone to voluntarily reduce their water use 10 per cent based on current Level 1 conditions," he said. Along with the Level 1 recommendation, the WRT, in co-operation with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, has sent a letter to all surface -water Permit To Take Water (PTTW) holders to invite them to a meeting/workshop in anticipation of a Level 2 Advisory that could be issued as early as mid-August. The meeting is planned to take place the week of August 15. The WRT wants to engage local PTTW holders to discuss water use strategies in which limited water supplies can be shared amongst the users. The incentive would be to find a local solution to avoid a Level 3 situation where water use restrictions could be mandated or restricted by the province. Kevin Hearn, of the very popular Canadian group, Bare Naked Ladies, will show off his solo talents on the Bayfield Town Hall Stage on Aug. 25. The doors will open at 8 p.m. and the show will start at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 each and are available now at www.ticketscene.ca. FITNESS FUN Summer is here and now that all those good fitness habits have been established it is time to get out and enjoy not only the weather but a variety of opportunities to keep fit as well. Local folks may be interested in a new wellness program that is starting in September known as "YEAH". This acronym stands for "You Effectively Achieving Healthy Habits". YEAH will promote exercise and nutritious eating. Two levels will be offered - Boot Camp and Soft Shoe. This program is offered free of charge. Come to the Bayfield Community Centre at 10:15 a.m. on Aug. 26 or Sept. 2 to learn more about this program. One Care is sponsoring several programs for both men and women to stay fit over the summer months. The following activities are scheduled to run from now until the end of August.

The team could meet to discuss the possibility of moving to a Level 2 Advisory at this time. ABCA staff will continue to monitor rainfall and stream flow data and keep the public informed of any changes in watershed conditions.

For me it is almost as good as a day at the spa — I came away feeling rejuvenated and ready to try out for the next amateur production. The theatre is for me like traveling to new locales is for my husband; he always wants to live at the places we visit. Places live the caverns in Mammoth Caves, Kentucky. This too shall pass. But hopefully the opportunity to view live theatre in our own backyard never will. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfaeld Breeze are always welcome.
