March 21, 2012 Vol. 3 Week 13 Issue 142 BEHIND THE RINGS OF VILLAGE'S HERITAGE SLIPPERY ELM TREE 10 RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION In honor of World Water Day, the Bayfield Ratepayers Association (BRA) is hosting a special meeting to help provide insight into "Lake Huron and Water Quality" on March 22. Guest speaker, Bob Worsell, public health manager for the Huron County Board of Health, will share his knowledge on the subject through a power point presentation. This meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the Bayfield Lions' Community Building. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Weekl31ssuel42/tabid/553/Default.aspx 1/10 5/28/2019 Week 13 Issue 142 This Slippery Elm reigns over Bayfield's Main Street and is a heritage treasure for the district. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) The focus of heritage is generally the bricks and mortar within a locale but natural heritage is also an integral part of the rich fabric that makes up the community landscape. For this reason members of the Bluewater Heritage Committee (BHC) and the Bluewater Blooms Committee for Communities in Bloom are combining their efforts in recognizing and promoting Bluewater's heritage trees. Once a month Ainslie Willock, BHC member and Thyra Knudson, Bluewater Blooms member, will share with the Bayfield Breeze their knowledge of a heritage tree. This month they offer insight into a grand dame — the Slippery Elm Tree located on the road allowance in front of 19 Main Street in Bayfield or known better to most as The Red Pump Restaurant. To say it is huge may be an under -statement. It's a Slippery Elm or Ulmus Rubra, named in 1793 by Pennsylvania pastor and botanist Gotthilf Muhlenberg. It's native to Eastern North America. It's also called: red, gray, soft, sweet, moose and Indian Elm. Apparently, it's similar in general appearance to an American Elm but more closely related to the European Wych Elm. In 1987, this resident of Bayfield was measured and was found to be 26.8 meters high with a diameter of 150 cm (59 inches) and a circumference of 471 cm (185 inches). It was listed in Gerry Waldron's book Trees of the Carolinian Forest, printed in 2003, as the largest of Ontario's specimens. Bill Rowat, president of the Bayfield Historical Society, and Willock measured it in 2011 and found its circumference to be 513 cm (202 inches). Steve Bower, now retired from the Ministry of Natural Resources in Clinton, measured it last year too and determined that is now shorter but wider than it was 25 years ago. The BRA regularly meets on the first Saturday of the month at 9 a.m. at the Bayfield Lions' Community Building. Their next meeting will be held on Apr. 7. Reminders of the monthly meetings can be found on the Post Office Notice Board and on the BRA website: http://bra.camp8.org/. HISTORICAL SOCIETY John Hazlitt, one of the authors of 'The Power of the Maitland' will be the guest speaker at the March 26 meeting of the Bayfield Historical Society. Hazlitt, along with Ted Turner and Doug Culbert, authored this book that was published in late 2011. The trio explored the waterways of the Maitland watershed to uncover evidence of early settlers harnessing the power of the Maitland River. In addition to being an author, Hazlitt is a passionate environmentalist, hiking enthusiast, historian and woodworker. He cares deeply about Huron County's heritage and it's future. These combined interests should allow for an enjoyable and informative evening. The meeting will be held at the Bayfield Lions' Community Building starting at 7:30 p.m. ANGLICAN CHURCH It is a Lenten tradition at Trinity Anglican Church to join in fellowship over a hearty bowl of soup while delighting in a great cinematic work. "Soup and a Movie at Trinity" will be held over the next three Mondays from 6-9 p.m. A free will offering is asked to cover the cost of soup and buns and all in the community are welcome. The final movie on the schedule is Crimes and Misdemeanors, March 26. For more information contact Terry Boa-Youmatoff at 519 524-1774. EARTH HOUR Communities around the world will demand action on climate change by marking Earth Hour on March 31. All are encouraged to turn their lights off for 60 minutes starting at 8:30 p.m. (local time). To celebrate Earth Hour in Bayfield everyone is invited to turn off lights at home and head to St. Andrew's United Church for a concert given by the Glee Sisters choir, and their sister organization, Elliot's Liquidation Band. In addition the St. Andrew's United Church choir will perform. The evening will commence at 8 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Weekl31ssue142/tabid/553/Default.aspx 2/10 5/28/2019 Week 13 Issue 142 Perhaps some subscribers have heard of a Slippery Elm canoe? The Iroquois used to make their canoes out of the bark of this variety of tree. They'd construct it from the bark of an entire living tree by turning the bark inside out so that the rough side would be the canoe's interior. The Huron's much lighter birch bark canoes easily outmaneuvered these heavy canoes. The bark was also used to build roofs, large chests and storage vessels for grains and household goods that even held maple syrup. Slippery Elm has been used to make, furniture, crates, charcoal, veneer, caskets and even wagon wheel hubs as the interlocking grains act as shock absorbers. In a pinch, chopped Slippery Elm bark could also nourish people and animals in the wintertime. The seeds, released as leaves, are forming in May, feed birds. The leaves and twigs are also fodder for deer and rabbits. Native people called it Slippery Elm because of the inner bark that swelled when in contact with water becoming slippery and producing a soothing ointment and versatile medicine. Almost all cough lozenges contain Slippery Elm. Like its close cousin, the bouquet shaped taller White Elm, it too can be killed by Dutch Elm Disease. Waldon's book states, "Individual trees may live as long as 200 years." Willock and Knudson hope that no one will ever learn how old this gorgeous heritage tree is. It is their desire that it will live on and on and never have its rings counted. If anyone has a story about a Slippery Elm; they are welcome to share it with Willock and Knudson at: ainsliewillock@hotmail.com. TWO AREA COUPLES SHARE TITLE "CONSERVATIONIST OF THE YEAR" The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) announced their Conservationist of the Year award winners at a ceremony held at Ironwood Golf Club east of Exeter, on March 15.

(Submitted photo) A Bayfield couple, along with another couple from Grand Bend, was recognized as "Conservationist of the Year" by the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) at an awards ceremony held on March 15. The annual award was presented to Joan and John Love, of the Grand Bend area, and Ann and Bill Phelan, from north of Bayfield. ABCA has recognized outstanding achievements in conservation and protection of soil, water, and living things with the annual presentation of conservation awards since 1984. "Tonight's award winners have completed many stewardship projects on their properties over several years and that improves water quality in their communities," said Paul Hodgins, vice - chair of the ABCA Board of Directors. "These two local couples are also excellent ambassadors for the positive projects that can be done in our communities." Conservationist of the Year award winners Joan and John Love have a 200 -acre farm in the Parkhill Creek watershed. They have decommissioned two unused wells, reduced sediment and bank damage through two low -flow equipment crossings, and retired (from pasture) land bordering a watercourse that runs the length of their farm. Trees have been planted over several years to gradually naturalize the retired pasture land. They have also built and maintained a walking trail from their home to the naturalized area and the mature woodlot and This year, Bayfield's version of Earth Hour will also feature guest speaker renowned environmentalist Ray Letheren. "Water" will be his topic. There will also be an update on the Bayfield Tree Project. Donations will be accepted for the upcoming planting season with receipts available for donations over $20.

JOHN'S ANGLICAN CHURCH This historic building originally built as an Anglican Church is located at 75779 Parr Line in Varna part of the Ward of Stanley East. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) The mandate of the Bluewater Heritage Committee (BHC) is to promote the preservation and maintenance of architectural and/or historic buildings, cultural landscapes and natural heritage features. It is an advisory committee of the Municipality of Bluewater. The BHC offers March's "Heritage Feature of the Month", St. John's Anglican Church, as a perfect example of Bluewater history. Devotion to faith and craft are hallmarks of this historic building on the south side of Varna. Built in 1862 by a little congregation on land donated by George Beatty, a communicant, this building was originally an Anglican Church. The gothic -style church had a tall spire that has since been removed. The interior of the church, which had reflected the simplicity of Puritanism, was given color and warmth during the incumbency of Rev. Paull. A bolt of lightning in 1940 struck the church and minor repairs were required. History notes that its parishioners moved there from Bayfield but they continued to maintain their connection through weekly choir training sessions. Records indicate that in 1915 that the congregation was comprised of 14 families with an average attendance of 43; five Sunday School teachers and 18 scholars with an average attendance of 13. The church lives on in the milestones held within its sanctuary. The last marriage performed there was between Mary Elizabeth Beatty and John MacVicar, of London, in 1953. The last Baptism held within its walls occurred in 1958 for Sylvia Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Wilson, Jr. It is interesting to note that St. John's did record another baptism in Feb. of 1966 but this one was held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dean Aldwinckle for their daughter, Barbara. On Nov. 21, 1965, St. John's Church was deconsecrated at a ceremony officiated by Bishop Harold Appleyard. The building was sold to Marilyn Kalbfleisch. She attempted to form an independent congregation without success. DINERS' CLUB The Bayfield Diners' Club luncheons are now back in full swing.
