(Submitted photo) Though it's hard to imagine with the very cold temperatures we have been experiencing, spring rains are not far off. And conserving rainwater is one of the best ways to protect local water quality. In an effort to encourage local households to capture and store rain water, the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) is participating in a "Rain Barrel Blitz". Getting more rain barrels in the area is one of the ideas from a community advisory committee in their recently released Main Bayfield Watershed Plan. "One of the challenges we identified in the planning process is stormwater runoff, which can carry a variety of pollutants with it," said Ainslie Willock, a community member of the advisory committee. The BRVTA is one of four groups hosting this effort to conserve rainwater and protect water quality. The other groups are Brucefield Community United Church, Vanastra Recreation Centre and Goderich District Collegiate Institute Green Industries students. The BRVTA is a charitable organization whose vision includes enhancing and promoting local trails, while also encouraging environmental sensitivity. The BRVTA Board felt this fundraising opportunity was a good fit with the group's mandate. Rain barrels capture and store rainwater collected from a building's roof through downspouts. This water is diverted from stormwater systems. This reduces the pollutants and the speed of water entering local rivers and streams. Reducing the speed of water reduces its ability to cause erosion. Collected rainwater can then be used for watering lawns and gardens, or washing cars. This can save people money on their municipal water bill, stress on their well, and stress on stormwater infrastructure. Rain barrels must be pre -ordered and people can get on a waiting list now at RainBarrel.ca/bayfieldtrails. They may also call 519 235-2610 or toll-free 1-888-286-2610 for information about the local Barrel Blitz. Pick-up of pre -ordered rain barrels from the BRVTA will take place in Bayfield on Apr. 26 from 9 a.m. to noon. The rain barrels cost $50 each with a portion of proceeds supporting the BRVTA. Buyers have a choice of colors and each rain barrel comes equipped with all the parts you need to set it up. Downspout diverters, dispensing hoses, and rain barrel stands are also available at an additional cost. RainBarrel.ca reclaims food -grade barrels to be reused as rain barrels. Partnerships with local non-profit organizations result in fundraising truckload sales events for dozens of communities All are encouraged to turn their lights off for 60 minutes starting at 8:30 p.m. 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 sing -along in celebration of the earth and to express joint concern about its future. The program will commence at 8 p.m. It will feature performance by the Glee Sisters and St. Andrew's Church Choir, as well as the Elliott's Ensemble. There will also be a presentation by the Bayfield Tree Project announcing their plans for 2014. The church lights will be turned off at 8:30 p.m. so those who attend are asked to bring a flashlight so they might see the words for the sing -along portion of the evening. There is no admission but a collection for the Bayfield Tree Project will be taken. TAI CHI Lift your spirit and renovate your body by joining Taoist Tai Chi classes. Beginner classes are being offered in Bayfield in April. The Taoist tradition teaches that a person's health depends on the harmony of body and mind.

BAYFIELD CALENDAR The Photography Club of Bayfield (PCoB) in partnership with the Bayfield Lions' Club is once again creating a Bayfield Calendar for 2015. "The 2014 calendar was completely sold out speaking well to the quality of the product. Because of the high demand we will be printing more copies this year. To assure that the quality will be at least as good as 2014 we are now actively soliciting photos," said Jack Pal, on behalf of the PCoB and the Lions' Club. Anyone can submit photos and there is no limit. Please post entries to the calendar Flickr site: www.flickr.com/groups/bayfieldcalendar20l5 Photographs should be recognizably Bayfield and reflect the variety of the many aspects of our village throughout the four seasons. "Since we are now (hopefully) approaching the end of winter, many of the photos we are looking for have already been taken. The deadline is fast approaching so please take out your cameras and start shooting your favorite spring photos," said Pal. Preference will be given to those photos that provide an artistic interpretation of the heritage aspects of Bayfield in line with the declaration of Bayfield as a Heritage Community in 1982. Photographs should not have been used in previous years' calendars however they do not need to be current. Since the calendar will be printed in "landscape" (most likely 8x12) format photos should be edited to that format. Photos should be available, if selected, in a sufficient size (preferably seven megapixels or greater) to allow them to be printed at a resolution of 300 dpi. Participants do not need to be a member of the PCoB in order to submit. Photographers whose photos are selected for inclusion in the 2015 calendar will receive a free membership to the PCoB.

Coach Jody Whetstone, far left, seemed proud of the group's efforts during a synchronized pinwheel. Skate the Day Away was held to allow ice users and community members to join together to honor the ice on March 16. PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER At the beginning of the month Bluewater Council voted to carry on with their plan to make the 2013- 14 season the last for ice in the Bayfield Arena. This decision was made despite the efforts of the Bayfield Arena Community Partners (BACP) who offered to form a volunteer management board to market and oversee the facility in an attempt to make it viable in all four seasons. On March 16 the ice season came to a close — ending about a 60 -year village tradition of people lacing up their skates. (The first arena was opened in 1953. The second opened in 1979.) The Bayfield Skating Club decided that the day should be recognized, the ice honored, and the cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Weekl2lssue246/tabid/660/Default.aspx 8/14 5/31/2019 Week -12 Issue -246 Cassie Jefferson rises up from a spin.

"Sunday was officially the last day for skating at our arena. It was a very sad day and a huge loss for our community. But as a club we felt it was our responsibility to keep the day positive and fun," said Mary Ellen Coombs, a parent volunteer with the Bayfield Skating Club. The day began at 9 a.m. Duncan MacPherson's Old Timers followed by the BCH Bantam Girls C and HL teams playing an exhibition game. At 11 a.m. the boots were switched from hockey skates to figure skates so that the members of the Bayfield Skating Club could showcase their solos and skills learned from the year. Retired and former skaters were invited to perform and the coaches joined 10 other skaters on the ice for a synchronized finale. Coaches Brittany Tebbutt and Jody Whetstone were recognized at the end of the performances. Tebbutt was thanked for her five years with the club and Merner for her 26 years as a coach, 18 of which were in Bayfield. Danielle Tarnawski laced up her skates, alongside her daughter, while her granddaughter watched from the lobby window and took to the ice for the grand finale with all the performers of the day. Tarnawski had been a coach with the club in its early days. "Over the years I have had so many fine memories of skating at the rink in Bayfield, starting from when I was small and we put our skates on by the potbellied stove. Then more memories of skating and helping coach during my teen years and again after I retired from the military and volunteered to help Jody Whetstone," said Tarnawski. From 1-3 p.m. regular Public Skating was held so that everyone who wished could have an opportunity to feel the ice under their feet one last time. Organizers noted that this free time was very busy. And it was busy upstairs in the community centre as well as the club provided a concession stand, craft table and Snippety the Clown. "The young lads of our community had a wild mini sticks tournament as well," said Coombs. For the second half of the day, BCH Junior Tykes and the Novice Local teams enjoyed the ice in exhibition games. And then the veterans took to the ice closing out the day with a 5 p.m. game between the Bayfield Relics versus The Rogues. "We did our best to keep the day positive but tears were shed," said Coombs.

I caught a glimpse of my stepson and his peers on the ice during an Atom game. He waved at me and I attempted to direct his attention back to the face-off. My eyes filled with tears and this snapped me back to reality. Don't start crying now, I thought, your tears would freeze on your face. Time passes, the players grow up and move on but one thing will always be the same — the Bayfield Arena will always be remembered for its cold and crisp ice surface. Melody Falconer -Pounder Skate the Day Away was about enjoying the ice and celebrating a great breakaway or a beautiful spiral. It was organized for the love of sport and being active. It was about joy. Something I saw very clearly through the lens of my camera as I watched the players on the winning Novice team pile up on top of their goalie in celebration. Hopefully as decisions are made and succeeding chapters in the history of the Bayfield Arena are written everyone involved will keep such moments in the forefront of their minds. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
