A total of 14 trees were planted including: five Red Oaks, three Autumn Blaze Maples, four Sycamores, a Kentucky Coffee and a Hawthorne. Trees were planted on William Street, located on the east side of Hwy 21 between Euphemia Street to the north and Elizabeth Street to the South. Plus, an "infill" tree was planted on Louisa Street and one on Howard Street. "A big thank you to everyone who has donated money or services to the tree planting including: the Municipality of Bluewater, Bayfield River Valley Trail Association, Tuckersmith Communication Co-operative and the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority," said Ainslie Willock, a BTP member. The Bayfield Tree Project's further goals for 2013 are to plant several large shade trees behind the old library building, as part of the Bayfield Library Reading Garden Project, once the initial landscaping has been completed. "We'll also be contacting Villagers on Tuyll Street to consult on planting trees there this fall," said Willock. "This will also include, planting nine trees, donated by the Pioneer Park Association, on the east side of Pioneer Park. We also hope to consult with residents on Hamilton Street (south of Cameron) to plant trees there." confirms their participation in the festival, helps advertise the weekend, ensures artists have a volunteer to watch over their set-up during breaks, an artist reception and coffee from the Bayfield cafes.

On Saturday, set-up would begin between 8-9 a.m. with artists working from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. An artist reception would follow at 5:30 p.m. On Sunday, artists are expected to work from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some fun family friendly activities are also in the works for the festival and the Sail and Canvas Committee could use some help in preparing for one of these — a craft that will transform pop can tabs into jewelry! But first they need the pop can tabs — lots of them. If our subscribers would be so kind as to start saving these, colored ones in addition to the regular silver tabs, it would be very appreciated. They can be dropped off at Inspirations on Main Street or South Shore Marina during regular business hours from now until festival weekend.

Wayne Malott, Bishop's Vicar at Trinity Anglican. "A talented ensemble, they recently completed a Choral Festival with the choirs of St. Paul's Cathedrals of Detroit and Buffalo." The choir shares its musical ministry outside the cathedral when it travels, on some ten or so Sunday afternoons each year. At those times, they sing evensong or present a concert in the parish churches of the Huron Diocese — parishes which may be celebrating significant milestones in their history or perhaps just enjoying the opportunity to attend choral evensong in the Book of Common Prayer tradition. "This evening is open to all who would enjoy this beautiful and spirit filled Anglican service," said Rev. Malott. A good will offering will be taken during the evening.

The BTP committee encourages everyone to take a moment and walk the Heritage Trail as they will be sure to notice the gorgeous young trees planted in previous seasons that are now thriving, many with blossoms. "The first phase of our tree plantings is now completed. Enjoy!" said Willock.

They began this venture out of personal interest 12 years ago and since then it has become a recognized and valuable repository of not only family histories but also of events, businesses, churches and organizations with roots in the Blyth community. They have assembled approximately 300 binders related to Blyth's history. The couple has many experiences and personal stories to share about their work. They research family histories in order to help answer questions. Individuals have provided them with valuable information about Blyth families and businesses. The reach of the Repository is worldwide. Brock claims the reward for his work comes from many sources but especially from the fact that ordinary families not mentioned in any formal historical information can find something about their roots in the Repository of Blyth History. The BHS regular meeting will be held at the Bayfield Lions' Community Building starting at 7:30 p.m. BAYFIELD AWOL. ia Bayfield Mews QV T77.3 i tl ;t 1"t'i. 1 Emdu5iue 55+ Community 8iT#MIST BAYFIELO 0Pt01rietr-r0 One Floariownhomes 519 - 555 , 4542 www -ba fietdmews.ca cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek221ssue2O3/tabid/614/Default.aspx 7/14 5/31/2019 Week 22 Issue 203 REMEMBER ME?

Audrey and Cameron Gaasenbeek, of Waterloo, watched the excitement from the South Pier. Optimists Jay Fisher and Wayne McKaig (right) wore proper headgear and coordinating shirts for the event. Wayne Van Norden, of Kitchener, was a tremendous assist during the race, especially when the ducks decided to travel toward the South Basin instead of their usual path between the piers. The largest and most enthusiastic crowd yet found their way down to the South Pier at the Bayfield Harbour for the fourth annual Rubber Duck Race organized by the Optimist Club of Bayfield on the afternoon of May 19. The club was very pleased to report that the event was a sell-out with the 750th duck being sold long before the scheduled start of the race at 1 p.m. The race was a little late going off this year as the men with the duck helmets determined how best to execute the run. The sun was shining and the air was very warm and still all of which played havoc with the current — or lack of one. For the first time ever the race was held from North to South in the harbor as the ducks were determined to head into the South Basin. They don't call the club members "Optimists" for nothing! About fifteen minutes after the plastic, waterfowl were released "quacker" #447 crossed the finish line. Greyson Roth, of Bayfield, was the winner of first prize. He, and his brothers, were excited to be the proud owners of a Duras Rubber Dingy generously donated by Bayfield Marine Services. Olivia lellamo, of London, took second prize, a remote control car given by Bayfield Garage. Linda Carswell, of Clinton, was the recipient of third prize, a Nike Golf Bag, donated by The Albion Hotel. The Optimists also held a hotdog barbecue in conjunction with the race, offering Freezies, juice boxes and water to attendees for a good will donation. The Goderich radio station, 104.9 The Beach also made an appearance with their "Beach Buggy" and handed out "Frisbees" to the delight of youngsters. Baker's Nursery, of Bayfield, were also on hand offering red geraniums to those who gave a donation to the work of the Bayfield Optimist Club. Everything combined made for a very colorful and lively afternoon at the Bayfield Main Beach. Proceeds from the Rubber Duck Race will go to the Optimist's "Making A Splash" Campaign. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek221ssue2O3/tabid/614/Default.aspx 9/14 5/31/2019 Week 22 Issue 203 Wayne Van Norden was given the task of dumping the ducks into the harbor. The crowd that gathered on the South Pier for the race was very curious about every stage of the process. The race lasted about 10 minutes this year but the crowd waited patiently for the first three ducks to float over the finish line. Bayfield Optimist Tara Hessel helped bring the ducks down the pier so that they could be loaded in the boats just prior to the race. Shaun Henry was one of the intrepid volunteers that helped wrangle all the ducks during and after the race.

Although astrology is a topic of interest I really only ever concern myself with horoscopes on this particular day as they always feature a, "If Today is Your Birthday" section and it is kind of fun to see what the stars have in store for me for the next 365 days. So here is what the website Philly.com had to say: "It's not about being the most talented or outstanding; heaven's will is carried out through your simple, unassuming ways. You will be praised, paid and rewarded, but that won't matter to you nearly as much as the good that comes from your loving actions. June is romantic, October adventurous, November lucrative. Cancer and Leo people adore you." Well, my Mom's a Leo and I know of two wedding celebrations in June ... the rest I leave up to interpretation. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome. Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m. Please email meat bayfield.breeze@ villageofbayfield.com or call 519-565-2443.
