STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER (PHOTOS SUBMITTED) The membership of the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) has recently completed their biggest project to date - a 55 -foot bridge on Mavis' Trail at Varna. (Photo by Peter Westwood) The volunteers with the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) have established three walking trails within the village proper since the association was first envisioned in 2006. The Woodland, Heritage and Sawmill Trails have become an integral part of village society. In fact it is hard to remember a time when they weren't apart of the landscape. So beneficial have these trails proved to local folks that the volunteers with the BRVTA were encouraged to increase trail access within Bluewater by revitalizing two neighboring trails. The BRVTA Development Team knew that several years ago the Turner and Taylor families were instrumental in building two walking trails at the Stanley Township Recreation Complex in Varna but these trails had to be abandoned because of maintenance and erosion problems. In 2008, during the time while they were actively constructing the Woodland and Sawmill Trails a group of the BRVTA volunteers went to Varna, explored the old trails and scouted out possible future, lower maintenance trail opportunities. The Taylor Trail at one kilometer in length proved to be fine, only some minor rerouting, bridges and boardwalks were required to return it to usefulness. When Rob Milligan, the owner of West Coast Property Care, stepped forward and said that he wanted to contribute to this project by using his equipment to cut the meadow grass, the volunteers knew that there might be a chance that this project could work. "Once we received approval from the Municipality of Bluewater, we started the task of trying to figure out how we could build and restore two trails for very, very little money. There were several small bridges and boardwalks to be constructed and one problematic 65 -foot ravine (on the 2.5 KM Turner Trail) that had to be somehow bridged," Twenty-five residents from Varna and Bayfield worked together to continue the development of the two nature trails at the Stanley Complex in Varna in July of 2010. Trail workers from Varna included: (BR I -r) Angie Cooper, Marlene Holman, Stephanie Peck and Jeanette Hill. FR: Mitchell Cooper, Jenna Peck, Luke Hill, Blake Cooper and Rachel Hill. offer an interesting series of programs designed to combat the winter blahs. The fourth year of the "Take Time in 2012" programs will run from Jan. 9 to Feb. 6. They are a perfect opportunity for friends and neighbors to learn and share with one another. The programs will be held on Mondays from 1:30-3 p.m. Each participating church will host one event. In the past a registration coffee has been held to get the program going but this year that has been dispensed with. The cost will be $3 per session. Want to attend but don't have the transportation needed to get to the location of the presentation? Rides can be provided, just call the coordinator of that session. Bayfield's own Lynn and Dave Gillians will be the presenters at the first session to be held at Knox Presbyterian Church on Jan. 9. "Two Years Down South on a Small Boat" is the title of their presentation and should know doubt be filled with several very entertaining anecdotes. The coordinator for this session is Barb Harkins and she can be reached at 519 565-2098. According to Dave, "Every year about 500 boats leave the Great Lakes and head south to pursue their dreams. A boat becomes a "magic carpet" as it transports sailors from one adventure to another." In 2002, Dave, and his wife Lynne, boarded Picaroon 11, their CS 36 sailboat, and for the next two winters they lived aboard and explored the east coast of the United States and the Bahamas. Dave said, "The intensity of the friendships and adventures during this trip are unlike anything we have ever experienced and we'll never forget this trip. It'll be fun sharing some of the good and bad times with those who attend the first session of Take Time." The beauty of exotic flowers will be explored at the session hosted by the Church on Way on Jan. 16. "Exotic Orchids made Easy" will be the topic shared by Master Gardeners, Leigh Selk and Sue Beatty. This presentation will be held at the Bayfield Lions' Community Building and the coordinator is Anne Laviolette, she can be contacted by calling 519 565- 2454. The following week, Jan. 23, the Take Time in 2012 programs will take a break to encourage everyone to go to the Bayfield Historical Society Dinner meeting to be held at St. Andrew's United Church at noon. For more details and also for tickets people are invited to call Pat or Bud Langley at 519 565-2894. On Jan. 30, thoughts will turn to spring rejuvenation when Helen Varkamp of Huron, Hearth and Home, presents the topic, "Spruce Up for Spring" — a new look for your home.

"We knew that a project of this magnitude would cost about $250,000 if done by professionals and the BRVTA Board of Directors knew that our financial resources were so small that we'd have to be creative and build something special on a 'shoestring."' Ron Milligan from West Coast Property Care told the BRVTA that he wanted to help but couldn't participate in workparties because of his customer responsibilities. He asked, "Can I cut the meadows for you on the Varna Nature Trails with my equipment as my contribution to the trail development efforts?" Milligan's query proved to be a well-timed solution to a big challenge for the BRVTA. According to Gillians, this was the crucial period. The BRVTA needed money, encouragement and support. A great many individuals from Bayfield contributed, the Optimist Club of Bayfield and the Bayfield Lions' Club immediately stepped up and the Municipality of Bluewater also contributed. "And out of the blue in 2009, Mavis Govier, a Varna resident and community activist, obtained a Bluewater Community Foundation grant for us," said Gillians. Perhaps even more important than the money was the encouragement that came with it. "Quietly behind the scenes, she supported our vision of reopening and rerouting the old Varna Trials which had been started by the Taylor and Turner families. This support and encouragement was important. As volunteers, any obstacle is enormous because it's so easy to say, I don't need this hassle or stress and walk away from a community project. Mavis came to us at precisely the most critical time. In a way she was the project's "guardian angel". Her death at such a young age was a terrible loss to everyone," said Gillians. With her sudden death in April of 2010 at the age of 40, it was decided that the Turner Trail would be renamed the Mavis' Trail in her honor. The Taylor Trail is named in recognition of Bill and Mark Taylor, who helped start the nature trail program. Volunteers when spurred on can often achieve great things so with the Varna Trails ever present in their mindset these people slowly started to acquire materials that would someday be needed to fix the trails up all the while diligently working to complete the Woodland and Sawmill Trails. The bridge project alone would take over three years to complete and over 30 community volunteers would step in at precisely the right time to help make it happen. In 2009, Mavis Govier presented a cheque to Roger Lewington and Dave Gillians (far left) of the BRVTA from the Bluewater Community Foundation to help support the trail association's efforts. contact. For more information she can be reached at 519 565-2640. The final session will be held on Feb. 6 at Trinity Anglican Church with Kate Lloyd -Rees and Judy Keightley. The duo will share their knowledge on the creation of quick and tasty appetizers. "Small Plates for Sharing" is the topic of this presentation. To learn more contact the session coordinator, Helen Latimer, at 519 565-2792. 1W 1 I P NO WA me 1 1 ' Last year two local women started a unique initiative to raise money for their participation in the Walk for Memories that raises funds for the Alzheimer Society. By collecting empty beer cans and bottles, pop cans, wine and liquor bottles, as well as some other fundraisers; their team "For the Love of Elane and Doris", was the top fundraising team in the county. It is a title Dianne Brandon and Carrie Courtney would like to maintain this year during the 2012 Walk for Memories to be held on Jan. 28. It is, of course, hoped that everyone will celebrate responsibly this festive season and when doing so plan to donate the empties to the cause. The ladies being honored are currently living with Alzheimer Disease, Elane Brandon, Courtney's grandmother, and Doris Schilbe, Dianne's mother. Empties of all sorts may be dropped off at Brandon's Hardware in Bayfield after Jan. 5. Empties can also be taken directly to Bayfield Convenience, just mention you'd like to donate "For the love of Elane and Doris" Courtney and Brandon will even come to your door on Jan. 9 to pick them up just call Brandon's Hardware at 519 565-2677 or 519 565- 2545 to make arrangements. Please note that due to dwindling attendance, the alternate Wednesday Evening Bridge has been discontinued.

So here goes... On this day, Jan. 4, 2012, 1 resolve to get my office organized and... here's the hard part... keep it that way! Well, now it is a matter of public record and judging from the number of people who backed away from me when they saw me last week (I made the mistake of writing how bad a cold I had over the holidays in last issue's Submissions) it would seem people actually scroll all the way down the page and read this section. So I'm sure a number of you will probably hold me to my resolution. Problem is my office isn't just the headquarters of the Bayfield Breeze. There is much multi -tasking going on within its square footage. It is also a family and personal archives and home to remnants of many of my past photo shoots including weddings cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week02lssuel3l/tabid/542/Default.aspx 11/12 5/28/2019 Week 02 Issue 131 etc. Yet perhaps its primary function is its role as the official office of Bayfield Guiding with about 12 tubs of craft supplies and two filing cabinets bursting with program materials crammed in the crevices. Don't think I know where the pipe cleaners or the foam sheets are? Well, I do. All the bins are labeled and I have trained myself to put things back after I use them — well, within a month or two anyway. But I know I can do better. I want my office to be my pride and joy, not something that stresses me out when I open the door. I want it to be a creative haven not just a storage space. I have given myself until Easter to get everything accomplished so I will let you know how it goes. Oh and my cold is much better this week.
