BOOKS AND BRUNCH The always popular "Books and Brunch" returns to the village with an opportunity to dine with a talent behind some contemporary titles. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week361ssuel13/tabid/523/Default.aspx 3/13 5/27/2019 Week 36 Issue 113 Wayne Ford, field services staff member with the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA), unloads two -foot conifers earlier this year during the spring tree program. The ABCA has announced the fall tree order program is now underway. (Submitted photo) Property owners can order trees now through the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) fall tree planting program. "We have many local landowners who order trees from us for windbreaks, roadside plantings, and other planting projects," said ABCA Forestry and Land Stewardship Specialist, Ian Jean. Local residents have participated in spring and fall tree order programs for many years. Last year, ABCA planted tens of thousands of trees in cooperation with landowners. Jean added that although Spring is the most active time of year for tree orders and planting, autumn is a good time to plant ball and burlap evergreens and potted deciduous trees. A number of grant programs are available to help with the cost of planting farm windbreaks, watercourse buffers, land retirement, and other stewardship projects, he said. ABCA staff can provide landowners with information on funding programs such as the Huron County Clean Water Project, the Government of Canada Habitat Stewardship Program, Trees Ontario, Canada -Ontario Farm Stewardship Program, and local grant programs through Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Funding is also available, in some cases, from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation for windbreaks along provincial highways 4 and 21. Even when grants are not available, landowners and municipalities are helping to improve forest cover in the watershed. According to Jean, local people may have many reasons to plant trees. They may want to help improve air and water, create windbreaks, have more birds and wildlife, or better mark property lines. "Windbreaks can be very helpful to a landowner. They can keep drifting snow away from homes and farms, reduce winter heating costs, reduce soil erosion, protect livestock from extremes of heat and cold, increase yields, provide habitat for birds, and moderate soil and air temperatures," he said. Trees have benefits in both winter and summer. "It's been said that one mature deciduous tree can cool the air as much as ten room -sized air conditioners," Jean said. The Fall Tree Order Form is available online at abca.on.ca or http://abca.on.ca/downloads/Tree_ Flyer_ABCA_Fall_2011.pdf or by calling 519-235-2610 or 1- 888-286-2610. Mail and faxed orders must be returned to the ABCA by Sept. 16 and paid by Sept. 30. In-person orders, at the ABCA's office at 71108 Morrison Line, can be placed, accompanied by payment in full, until Sept. 30. Trees purchased through the ABCA program cannot be used for landscaping purposes but must be used for forestation, windbreaks, and On Sept. 18, Brian Francis is scheduled to be the guest author at the luncheon. The Little Inn of Bayfield will play host to Books and Brunch starting at 12:30 p.m. Tickets for both luncheons are $30 each. They can be purchased at The Village Bookshop, 20 Catherine St. or by calling 519 565-5600 or emailing mbrown@thevillagebookshop.com. HEARING CLINIC Have you heard the news?

BIDS 4 KIDS AUCTION The "Bids 4 Kids" Auction, organized by the Optimist Club of Bayfield, is set for Oct. 1. The membership took a break from this fundraising staple, holding their last one in the fall of 2008, but the members are now ready to host their biggest and best auction yet. The idea for this fundraiser for the Bayfield Optimists began in the early 90s. Back then; the items auctioned off were primarily handcrafted by area wood working talents. In more recent years cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week361ssuel13/tabid/523/Default.aspx 4/13 5/27/2019 Week 36 Issue 113 other stewardship projects. There is a minimum order requirement of 20 trees and trees must be ordered in multiples of 10 by species. The fall tree order form has just been posted but Jean said it's not too early to plan ahead for spring tree planting too. "Landowners who want to plant trees next spring are encouraged to begin site preparation in September or October," he said. "We can help them with many areas of land stewardship, such as planting plans, site preparation, forest management plans, wildlife habitat improvement, and erosion control — people can give us a call to find out more." LOCAL RUN HAS RAISED $5,500 In this photo, participants in the 2nd annual Terry Fox Run, hosted by the BRVTA, are seen departing from Clan Gregor Square. Walkers could choose routes of varying distance, two of which followed BRVTA trails, Sawmill and Heritage. This year the event will be held on Sept. 18. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) 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. "Since the Bayfield run was started in 2009, it has raised over $5,500. We're hoping to continue adding to that total this year and get more people out walking the streets and trails of Bayfield," said Heidi Hessel, one of the event organizers for the BRVTA. 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 are available at Outside Projects, Post Office, and This N' That. "The Terry Fox Run is meant to be an event that anyone can do. It's not about being the fastest its about coming out for a great cause and doing what you can in order to help raise money for cancer research. Everyone is connected to someone who has cancer, or has had cancer, and this event is another great way for people to be able to do something to help the cause," said Hessel. According to Hessel, The Terry Fox Foundation is an industry leader in fundraising accountability as three cents of every dollar goes towards administration and 10 cents goes anything and everything has been added to the mix, with a few key pieces of handcrafted wood being auctioned to pay homage to the early days. The event will be held at the Varna Complex with cocktails and viewing beginning at 6 p.m. and dinner to follow at 7 p.m. Entertainment will be provided by The Cheap Shirts. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds from the auction will go to the Make A Wish Foundation of Southwestern Ontario, a cause dear to the hearts of the membership. In light of the recent disaster in Goderich it has been determined that another twenty- five per cent of the auction proceeds will go to tornado relief. The remainder of the funds will benefit local youth activities. Donations of all sorts are now being accepted for both the live and silent auctions until Sept. 12. If you would like to make a donation please contact Optimist Tara Hessel at 519 565-2136. If you would like tickets for this social event of the season they are available now for $30 each at the Bayfield Village Inn, Brandons Hardware or by calling Hessel at the number listed above. Anyone who wishes to reserve a table of eight or ten can also do so by contacting Hessel. To provide more support for our neighbor to the north through the Optimist's Bayfield "Hearts" Goderich campaign $5 from every ticket sold will go to tornado relief.

These young leaders never missed an opportunity to share animal and conservation knowledge with the girls packing their heads full of interesting animal facts from start to finish. Highlights included getting up close and personal with giraffes and penguins by meeting their keeper. When darkness fell the girls took part in an Amazing Race along the African Savanna searching for and deciphering clues by flashlight. A campfire with s'mores and the dramatic telling of a legend about giraffes rounded out the experience. Once nestled in their tents the girls fell asleep listening to the plaintive call of the lions and then appropriately enough in the morning they were woken by music from "The Lion King". Following breakfast the girls were given a tour of the African Rainforest Pavilion where they were introduced to the Western Lowland gorillas and the ring-tailed lemurs among others. Unfortunately, the slender -tailed meerkats decided to sleep in that morning. The group returned to camp just as the Zoomobile returned to take them back to the bus. Camp was over but the adventure not quite so. A day to explore the other regions of the zoo was planned and after many more animals were visited the girls ended the day with time at Splash Island a fun splash pad area with an animal theme. The members of Bayfield and Clinton Guiding would like to thank those businesses, service clubs and individuals who helped them make this very ambitious year-end adventure financially possible. The final proceeds from their Centenary Calendar Project were used toward this trip in cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week361ssuell 3/tabid/523/Default.aspx 8/13 5/27/2019 Week 36 Issue 113 The Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory is home to over a 1,000 butterflies.

The Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory has a large collection of exotic birds as well. Giraffes Janetta and Twiga showed the girls how they can use their long, flexible tongues to easily accept treats from between the wires on their cage.

Giraffe Keeper Keith educated the girls on many fascinating giraffe facts while the giraffes themselves delighted the girls with their desire for treats. A white rhinocerus poses for pictures during the evening tour. After a night of sleeping in tents lulled to sleep by the plaintive call of the lions the girls were treated to a visitor to camp in the morning. Camp Leader Saralyn introduced them to Lenny the Fox Snake. Ashley Whelan, Nicole Kelly and Julie Chun enjoyed meeting and learning about this Ontario native who is on the endangered species list. A 6,000 square foot exhibit including a state-of-the-art underwater viewing area opened May 21 for a dozen African Penguins. These birds are on the endangered species list and the zoo hopes to establish a successful breeding program with these birds. The girls were introduced to the penguin keeper and learned all sorts of interesting trivia about them during their evening tour. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week361ssuel13/tabid/523/Default.aspx 10/13 5/27/2019 lntegfity ..

I came nose to nose with a polar bear. Never in my life did I think I would have the opportunity to be so close to such an amazing and powerful creature that simply lay sleeping - his nose resting just inches from the glass of his enclosure at the Toronto Zoo. His paws folded neatly supporting his head. The peacefulness in which he slept served as a contrast to the dangers that his brothers in the wild face each day as their habitat slowly disappears. I was awestruck — I held back tears. I have had a lot of experiences as a member of Girl Guides of Canada — that one will rank in the top five for many a day. I know my girls and our sisters from Clinton Guiding will have similar stories to tell this week after their overnight adventure at the Toronto Zoo. It encapsulated what I love most about Guiding. It was a chance to provide opportunities for empowerment and learning through fun and friendship. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
