(Photos by Melody Falconer -Pounder) Jesse Baird, owner of Black Soil CSA, near Brucefield, believes that the biggest compliment he can get from people who share in the produce he grows is that their kids are eating their vegetables. (Photos by Melody Falconer -Pounder) "There are a growing number of people today who want to know where there food is coming from. They want to know it was picked this morning. " Baird's greenhouse was built from recycled materials. He purchased the parts he needed on Kijiji. It is important to this farmer to be self-sustaining. He heats his greenhouse with wood and is able to grow enough food in the winter to feed the family. Such is the philosophy of Jesse Baird. Members of his Black Soil CSA know where their food is coming from: Thorndale Farm, 39645 Roman Rd., near Brucefield. CSA stands for Community Supported (Shared) Agriculture. CSA farmers receive a set fee from the consumer at the start of the growing season. In return the consumer shares in the produce. They also share in the risks due to weather and factors beyond the farmer's control. Last year, for example, the extreme heat of the summer caused Baird's pea crop to fail. However, without risk there is no reward — and the reward can be great for both the farmer and the consumer. "The biggest compliment I get from people who have I oined is that their kids are eating their vegetables," said Baird. "For example, they really like their carrots now — they say they are sweeter in flavor, more appetizing." Baird, who is a professional drummer, having toured with such performers as Leslie Feist and Steven The PCoB is active! They are currently planning a Photo Walkabout on June 1, early evening, at the Falls Reserve in Benmiller. For more information visit: www.facebook.com/. BETWEEN THE LINES...

PENNY SALE AND AUCTION TO ASSIST IN BRINGING CAMP "HOME" At the end of Nov. 2009, the provincial entity of Girl Guides of Canada informed their membership in Bayfield and Goderich that they were ordering closed the local camp property known as Camp Klahanie. Girl Guides of Ontario also announced that the property would be sold with the money going to the provincial level. Since that time local people have been working together to bring Camp Klahanie "home" but this time it would not only benefit members of local Girl Guides it would be available for all children and youth organizations in Huron County and beyond to use as a community camp! Although a place for Guides to camp for a number of years prior, the property was officially offered by the late John Hindmarsh and his wife, Marion, to be used as a camp in 1973. Since the camp's inception, the Goderich Lions Club membership has been supportive of Camp Klahanie. The Lions made significant improvements to the land and contributed to the construction of the buildings on the property. In addition to their volunteer labor they have contributed over $80,000 toward these camp improvements over the years. The Lions Club, whose membership has always been, and continues to be, strong proponents of the camp, are also working to return Klahanie to the community. Supporters are currently planning a Penny Sale and Silent Auction to be held in Bayfield on June 13-15 to raise funds for the cause. The Goderich Lions Club will establish a trust for the property if the negotiation proves successful and funds raised will go to support the operation of the camp. The event will be held at Trinity Anglican Church, 10 Keith Cres, in Bayfield. Times for the sale are Thursday, 3-7 p.m.; Friday, noon to 9 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. People may come out to Trinity's Parish Hall between 4:30-6:30 p.m. on Saturday to see what they've won, claim their prizes and pay for their Silent Auction items.

This site is updated regularly so plan to visit often. On Sunday, June 2, the Bayfield Lions' Club will once again be hosting the annual local "Purina Walk for Dog Guides" to raise funds so that more Canadians with disabilities may have a Dog Guide.

Canines and their humans are invited to dedicate one hour to take part in the walk. Dogs are now being trained to offer six different kinds of support: Canine Vision, for people who are blind or visually impaired; Hearing Ear, for people who are deaf or hard of hearing; Special Skills, for people with a medical or physical disability; Seizure Response, for people with Epilepsy; Autism Assistance, for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder; and Diabetic Alert, a new Dog Guide offering as of this year.

(Submitted photo) Staff members of Ausable Bayfield Conservation have finished planting more than 200 trees along the east side of Hwy 4, between Brucefield and Clinton, on behalf of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO). The tree planting work is part of a Ministry of Transportation project. This project follows upgrades to roads and ditches along that section of the highway over the past two years. Some trees had to be removed at that time. The new trees were planted this May and more tree planting is planned for Hwy 4, between Kippen and Brucefield, in spring 2014. "We chose species that could best stand up to salt spray," said Forestry and Stewardship Specialist, Ian Jean, with Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). "We planted red oak, bur oak, honey locust, Kentucky coffee tree, hackberry, and soft maple trees." About half of the trees are honey locust. That species is planted in more open spaces because it can tolerate a high amount of salt spray, Jean said. Staff members will monitor the trees over the coming months and stake them as needed. They will also install tree guards in the autumn to prevent rabbits and rodents from harming the trees. "We spaced the trees between 50 and 65 feet apart to allow for proper growth and to keep the sight lines between the trees," Jean said. The tree planting that was finished this week was on the east side of the highway, on the Ministry right of way. The Ministry of Transportation also provides 100 per cent funding for some windbreak tree planting along the west side of the highway that acts as a 'living snow fence.' The Ministry requires conifers planted as living snow fences to be at least 15 metres from highway shoulders. This guideline allows space for snow to build up. Along this stretch of highway the MTO right of way is not wide enough to accommodate snow accumulation, which means living snow fences will be established on a voluntary basis on private property where landowners choose to participate. This tree planting is funded by MTO for projects that are approved by the Ministry. Those landowners who would like to do this kind of windbreak planting are invited to call Jean at 519 235-2610 or toll-free 1-888-286-2610.

Download PDF file and print it out! See full contest details in the article. Ground is scheduled to break on the construction of the Clan Gregor Square Splash Pad on June 3 and the Bayfield Optimist Club is planning a Grand Opening Celebration on June 30. A committee has been established to create a celebration reflective of the overwhelming support the project has received from the community and beyond. Juno Award nominated and Parent's Choice Award Winner, "Music with Brian" has been booked to perform in the park prior to all of the splashing. A coloring contest to determine the young person that will be given the honor of pushing the button to start the water flowing at the opening ceremonies is happening now. Children aged eight years and under are invited to enter by printing off and coloring this page and handing it in at either JMR Art Gallery or Brandons Hardware, both in Bayfield, or scanning and emailing it to bayfield.breeze@villageofbayfield.com on or before June 16. A limited number of hard copies will also be available at the gallery and the hardware store. All colored entries will be placed in a random draw. The winner will be announced in the June 19 issue of the Bayfield Breeze. The opening ceremonies will take place on June 30 at 1 p.m. Katerina Mertikas, of Ottawa, a regular contributor to the gallery walls at JMR Art Gallery, was the artist behind the coloring page. Favorite subjects for Mertikas are children at play so she was the perfect choice for the project. The Municipality of Bluewater approved the Optimist Club's proposal for creating a Splash Pad in Clan Gregor Square in September of 2012. At their Apr. 15 meeting council gave the final go ahead for the Splash Pad. It was also announced at the council meeting that Openspace Solutions Inc., of Waterloo, ON had been selected to oversee the project. "EZ IF HAV MUTUAL.

PHOTO STORY ISSUE 202 In Issue 202, a photo taken in 1969 was featured when construction was being done to join two houses together to make one. The only notes with the picture say, "Westlake near Turners"? Anyone have any information on this home to share? ISSUE 203 In Issue 203, records with this image taken in 1969 state, "Bunn house on Main Street, was Marks, Gairdner and Utter." Lewis Cook wrote in to share some more information about this property "This house used to be Corde's Market. The shed section on the right used to be screened in and was a hang out for the local and summer kids. We as youngsters sometimes probably contributed to any grey hairs on his head." Cook also noted that it was a market even prior to the Corries owning it. tis:t,�'■��a IASSAGE THERAPY & A6 dy..vzv-- 519,56,5.4711 BAYFIELD HISTORICAL SOCIETY cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek231ssue2O4/tabid/615/Default.aspx 10/14 5/31/2019 Week 23 Issue 204 GE HISTORY BROUGHT TO LIFE TO RAISE FUNDS TO VILLA" I Itl al MA Click to enable Adobe Flash Player The stars of "The Bloodless Battle of Bayfield" were; Jim Fergusson, Tyler Hessel, Helen Latimer, Raz Westwood, Wayne Malott, Bob Merrimen, Dave McLaren, Janice Nelson, Ian Rutherford, Gerry Selk, Greg Stewart, Jamie Thomas, Carol Thornley -Hall and Peter Westwood.

The village won again! On Saturday, after seeing the play, Pat MacDougall said, "What a lot of fun!" Roger Lewington exclaimed, "Thoroughly enjoyed the play.... bravo! A great story, well crafted, and we liked the use of the hall... other than the stage to bring the story out." Based on an actual incident that happened in the village in 1866, local amateur actors triumphantly brought history to life in a comedy written by Judy Keightley (who also directed) and Dave Gillians. Sandy Scotchmer and Barbara Brown produced the play for the Bayfield Historical Society. According to Bill Rowat, Bayfield Historical Society president, "We win because all of the net proceeds from the play will be used to help us repair and restore the old library. The community wins because we've celebrated another part of our unique heritage. We are very grateful for the hundreds of hours that were invested by more than 27 supporters and for the community sponsors who made this production possible.

We had wild raspberries growing on a rail fence in a nearby field that would provide enough for a pie or two. And we had lots and lots of rhubarb. We didn't have a cherry tree but our neighbors had a bunch and I was always sent down the road with a basket to pick them. I didn't like cherries so my mother knew that I would just set to the task and come home with a filled basket. She never sent me for strawberries cause I would have sat in the patch and ate as many as I picked. Melody Falconer -Pounder The neighbors with the cherry tree kept us in fresh eggs. We did have a hen house but no chickens that I can remember. Dad took down the building when I was about six. I do remember being chased by a rather disgruntled rooster when I was really little. As the farm was a mixed cattle and dairy operation, we always had beef in the freezer and fresh milk in the fridge. I heard countless stories from my older cousins of horses and pigs being kept before I was born. But as progress reared its "sometimes ugly" head, things began to change and we became less self-reliant and more dependent on the store and those ready-made pie crusts. My recent meeting with Jesse Baird (see lead story) got me waxing nostalgic for that time in my life. Of course as a child I didn't have to make the pies or can the fruit. But I did appreciate what was brought to the table. And it is encouraging to know that the tides of progress are starting to ebb. That people wish to share in the kinds of food he and others produce, not necessarily becoming completely self-reliant as in the days of old but at least more aware as consumers. And that to me is the best kind of progress. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
