Just another way that Sport in Port is a community driven shopping experience. GRANDPA BOB CONTINUES ON JESSE'S JOURNEY The story of Jesse's Journey began to unfold in the summer of 1995 when John Davidson - at the age of 49 - set out on an incredible mission to push his 15 year- old son Jesse across Ontario in his wheelchair - a trek of 3,339 KMs. The journey became a rallying point for people in communities across Ontario and across Canada. This grueling test of endurance for a determined father and son generated $1.5 million dollars for research. Three years later there was another chapter in the amazing story. In 1998 John Davidson found himself on the road again - this time alone. On his son Jesse's 18th birthday John dipped his running shoes in the Atlantic Ocean at St. John's, NL. He dipped those same running shoes in the Pacific at Beacon Hill Park in Victoria, B.C. 286 days later. The 8,300 KM journey across Canada generated $2 million dollars in grassroots donations made by Canadians coast to coast. From their humble beginning the Davidsons managed to bring the Jesse Davidson Endowment Fund on stream. The means was at hand to begin funding research each and every year. Jesse's Journey has funded more than $5 million in research projects in North America, and is the only Canadian charity that exists solely to fund Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) research. Bob Facca, or "Grandpa Bob", is on the road - walking 4,000 KMs for DMD research. Grandpa Bob will be walking across Quebec and Ontario for his grandson Louie - and for all of the other boys with Duchenne. His 2014 walk started May 12 in Quebec City, heading west and covering approximately 20 KMs a day. Facca will stop in many cities and towns, including Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, London, Windsor, Parry Sound, Sudbury, Thunder Bay and Bayfield. The hike leaders are Carol Powadiuk, 519 565-4120; Jack Pal, 519 565-5340 and Carmen Schmitz. W111911 Friends of Bayfield Library (FOBL) are holding a children's StoryMob on Aug. 30 from 12:30-3 p.m. at the Bayfield Library. Take a great children's book, make some costumes and props, add music, gather lots of people, read out loud and you have a StoryMob! The book chosen for this exciting event is "The Busy Beaver" by Nicholas Oldland. He reminds us to take care of others and the world around us. Gretel Meyer Odell and Roxanne Deans created StoryMob to inspire a sense of community and nurture literacy and imagination. Children are encouraged to sign-up at the Bayfield Library for reader parts that include beavers, bears, moose and birds. Adult volunteers are also needed. Keep checking Huron County Library Facebook, FOBL Facebook and the Bayfield Breeze over the month of August for updates on the local StoryMob. FIDGET MAIKERS Fidget Makers, a group headed by Janet Clark, meet at the Exeter Library monthly. They make aprons and attach buttons and zippers for dementia and Alzheimer patients who like to 'fidget' with things. Anyone who has extra buttons (not too small) and zippers they could use are asked to take them to the Bayfield Library and they will be transported to the Exeter Library. The Fidget Makers are off for the summer but at the end of August will host a meeting of interested people to see if other groups in the area would be interested in starting such a group. The original idea has just mushroomed into more calls from nursing homes than they can keep pace with. It is a great social time for the volunteers who make the activity aprons as well. If you might be interested in belonging to such a group you can receive more information by contacting Joyce Lambert at lambertjoycel@gmail.com. UNITED CHURCH cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week321ssue266/tabid/680/Default.aspx 3/14 5/31/2019 Week 32 Issue 266 Facca said this is something he has to do, "because as close as the researchers are, they still need more money. The more funding they have, the more research they can do." All walk expenses have been covered through corporate sponsorship so all funds raised through donations go directly to funding research. Facca is scheduled to arrive in Bayfield on Aug. 10 and the Lions Club of Bayfield, in partnership with the Bayfield Firefighters Association, are having a Community Welcome Party. The party is taking place at the Bayfield Fire Hall and neighboring Bayfield Lions' Community Building. Everyone is welcome to bring a lawn chair and enjoy the afternoon commencing at 3:30 p.m. Local entertainers "Cheap Shirts" will be providing the entertainment. The firefighters will be cooking up hot dogs and chips and soft drinks will also be available. Local supporters will walk with Grandpa Bob on this way into the village. He is scheduled to meet the crowd at 4 p.m. At about 5:30 p.m., John Davidson, founder of Jesse's Journey, will speak to those on hand. Organizers are hoping for a good crowd to help make this a special day. Anyone who wishes further information or perhaps want to help with the welcome should please contact Tom and Carol Dawe at 519 565-5594 or Dave and Penny Overboe at 519 565-5786. CITIZENS HELP WITH MAIN BEACH WATER QUALITY MONITORING Kate Lloyd -Rees, Sandy Scotchmer and Erica Clark, are three of the 'citizen scientists' who are helping to collect water quality monitoring samples in the Bayfield area. Professional staff from Ausable Bayfield Conservation already take 1,300 samples a year to find out about the state of local water quality in Ausable Bayfield watersheds but the work of volunteers makes it possible to provide more data from more sites. (Submitted photo) Several volunteers from Bayfield and area have signed up to be 'citizen scientists.' These people from the local community are helping to collect water quality data along the Bayfield Main Beach. Ausable Bayfield Conservation staff members currently collect about 1,300 water samples a year, said Healthy Watersheds Technician, Hope Brock. "This monitoring helps us to know if water quality is getting better or worse in different places, she said. "It would be great to sample at more locations, but that is not always possible." That's where citizen science can help, according to Brock. "Volunteers can provide us with more data, more often, from more locations." A conversation board is the latest outreach project started by St. Andrew's United Church. (Submitted photo) The members of St. Andrew's United Church want to start a conversation with the community. They unveiled their new signboard at the Bayfield Farmers' Market on Aug. 1. "Each week will feature a different topic to stimulate conversation and engage the community in expressing their opinions," said Elise Feltrin, minister at St. Andrew's. On Aug. 1, the market itself was the topic. "People were delighted to stop by and read the comments of others - once the sign was full, they started checking off the ones they agreed with. People of all ages participated! "Market Manager Joan Brady was pleased to read the many reasons why people are enjoying the market - and the vendors were so pleased to read what it is that people appreciate," she concluded. TOWN HALL This year the Bayfield Town Hall is hosting a signature fundraising event that will easily become a new Bayfield summer tradition. The Sunset on Summer BBQ, on Aug. 30, is a celebration of the last weekend of summer holidays. Families can sway to the delightful music of The Little Surf Band, enjoy a succulent half chicken BBQ dinner with all the fixings and ice cream bars for dessert, and relax in the beer tent while reminiscing about those wonderful summer memories enjoyed in the village. The proceeds of the Sunset on Summer BBQ will be used to build a capital fund for the replacement of the Bayfield Town Hall roof, the maintenance of which is one of the most significant maintenance requirements of this historic building. The BBQ will be served on-site at the Bayfield Town Hall from 4-8 p.m., with takeout dinners available. In the event of rain the event will be relocated to the Bayfield Arena. Tickets for adults are $15 and tickets for children are $7. This event is the perfect way to wrap up another glorious summer season and the cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek321ssue266/tabid/680/Default.aspx 4/14 5/31/2019 Week 32 Issue 266 Citizen science often involves volunteers who assist researchers by collecting information. start of a fun and memorable Bayfield community Ausable Bayfield Conservation provided training for the volunteers, who will collect water event! quality data from storm water outfalls along the Bayfield Main Beach. The volunteers will collect samples every two weeks and during rain events throughout July and August. The samples will PHOTO CONTEST then be analyzed for concentrations of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and phosphorus — a nutrient that can sometimes result in algal blooms. The data collected by the volunteers will help project partners (Ausable Bayfield Conservation, Huron County Health Unit, and Municipality of Bluewater) to determine whether storm water from the Bayfield area is having an impact on the beach and lake. When rain falls or snow melts during storm events, water can run off of land. That runoff could carry pollutants and degrade water quality if not properly managed. Algal blooms and bacteria can make the lake water not meet the standards for swimming and recreational beach use. Decaying algae can also deplete the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, which can affect aquatic life. Brock said this citizen science program not only expands the locations for collecting water quality information, but it is a chance to engage the community in watershed improvement. Volunteers learn about how complex it is to manage storm water. The Bayfield Beach Storm Water Monitoring project helps to implement the Bayfield and area community's Main Bayfield Watershed Plan. The local steering committee launched this plan last autumn. The community steering committee for the Main Bayfield Watershed Plan set a goal to improve water quality within the Bayfield River, and its tributaries. The plan offers ways to do this. These ideas include more forest cover, wetlands, and streamside cover. Many landowners can use rain barrels, create rain gardens, and use permeable pavement to hold back water and allow it to filter into the ground. Farmers can plant cover crops, add berms and grassed waterways, and use conservation tillage. Many actions by many people can help to reduce phosphorus and Escherichia coli (E. coli) concentrations, according to the plan. Environmental Defence Canada — the coordinator of the Blue Flag program — is hosting a beach photography contest and folks have until Sept. 1 to enter. In this fourth annual contest they want to see the best of people's favorite Canadian beaches have to offer — whether it's the sun, sand, water, or the wildlife that call it home, show the judges the nature that makes the beach unique and beautiful. Three prizes will be awarded with the top one being $1,000 worth of camera gear.

"Nights" is Geddis' second release and follow up to his 2008 album "Yellow Tent". Over the past several years Geddis has shared the stage with the likes of Joel Plaskett, Serena Ryder and more. "My goal with this album was to create music that was real and that had feeling. We did a lot of our recording live off of the floor in order to create a disc with lots of live energy," said Geddis. "The CD release in an intimate venue like the Bayfield Town Hall provided the perfect venue to debut the CD with the full band and take the audience through a recording that both myself, and the band members are extremely proud of." Including Geddis, the night also featured youth musicians Clara Stegall and Sarah Hoy as show openers courtesy of youth arts program, Imagine South Huron.

From Michigan, the pair, who were married for 68 years, had called Port Charlotte, FL home since 1995, first during the winter months moving there full time after selling the store. Despite time and distance her heart was always in Bayfield where she remained in touch with many friends.

The story of the weaving loom was featured in the Bayfield Breeze in the July 2nd issue (Vol. 5 Week 27 Issue 261) in the hope that a local home could be found for it. - "We received four replies about the Du Boulay loom, three of which were generated by the Bayfield Breeze article, one from enquiries to the Huron Tract Spinners and Weavers Guild," said g Ralph Laviolette, archivist for the Bayfield Historical Society, who spearheaded the search for a new owner. The current keepers -of -the -loom, the Chapman family, of Louisa Street, inherited the loom from Greta but could no longer care for it and an offer to donate it to the Bayfield Historical Society's Archives proved unrealistic due to its large size. Kate sullen, who summers in Bayfield, is the new keeper of Greta Du Boulay's weaving loom. (Submitted photos) "All replies were from, or the loom would be used by, new or accomplished weavers," added Laviolette. "One applicant would set it up in Bayfield, the other preference. The three other applicants would have seen the loom moved to London, Hamilton or Combermere, near Ottawa. "We were impressed by all the applicants but the family has decided that Kate Bullen is the future owner," said Laviolette. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week32issue266/tabid/680/Default.aspx 7/14 5/31/2019 Week 32 Issue 266 A photograph of Kate Bullen's most recent weaving project. She is thrilled to now have a loom available to use for her work when she visits Bayfield in the summer months. SHARE oar®... PHOTO STORY SHEAR TALENT T Kate Bullen grew up in Bayfield. Her family roots grow deep within the village, as both her father and mother were both Main Street entrepreneurs in the 1990s. Her mother, Margaret McLean Knitzer owned and operated the Wardrobe (The Gardiner House) while her father, Terrence Bullen, owned the restaurant, Admiral Bayfield's (now The Black Dog). Her father still resides in Bayfield while her mother now lives in the United States. Kate herself lives in Boston, Mass and is an artist and recent weaver. Her plan is to keep the loom in the village to use when she visits in the summer months. The Chapman family is pleased that Kate will be the new owner of the loom, knowing that she will enjoy and value using it in her work. And Kate herself is very excited to have a loom set up and ready to weave when she visits this month. Greta too would no doubt be pleased as well. PIONEER PARK ASSOCIATION FIVE KILOMETER EVENT PUTS THE "FUN" IN FUNDRAISING The walking crowd got a half an hour head start on those who chose to run or roll. PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Twenty-eight years ago a fun tradition was started to raise funds for the maintenance of Pioneer Park — the 5 KM Fun Run, Walk and Roll. This year 239 participants took part on the morning of Aug. 4. They laced up their sneakers some to walk others to run. People took to wheels of all sorts from cycles built for two to roller blades. The weather couldn't have been nicer for the event with temperatures in the low 20s and sunny skies. Prizes were awarded in each category in four different age groups, plus prizes were also awarded to those who demonstrated a special effort. Various local merchants, personal businesses and other individual sponsors generously donated prizes. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek32issue266/tabid/680/Default.aspx 8/14 5/31/2019 Week 32 Issue 266 James Yuhasz, of London, ON, waited patiently for the cycling portion of the morning to begin. His patience was rewarded as he was first to cross the finish line. Cyclists of all ages enjoyed taking part in this annual fundraiser for Pioneer Park. Roller Blader, Natasha Morham, of Winnipeg, MB, was fresh as a daisy. Pat Cantrick arrived early to find a good vantage point from which to watch friends and family cross the finish line. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week32issue266/tabid/680/Default.aspx 9/14 5/31/2019 Week 32 Issue 266 Sisters, Tracey Church and Vicky Ramsay, were just two of the volunteers who kept track of the runners as they crossed the finish line so that prizes might be awarded.

For forty years they played store in what I believe to be one of the most marvelous shops that ever graced Main Street. The Village Guild closed its doors at the end of 2002 and the couple moved full time to Florida. Sarah was 78 and Richard 83 when they officially "retired". My husband and I were one of the lucky villagers on their Christmas card list. It was always a delight to receive. Sarah was a prolific writer — she'd weave tales about family history, their myriad world travels, global activism and even aging gracefully. The bulging envelope would always arrive plastered over with U.S. postage stamps of lesser denominations pilfered no doubt from the doubles and triples in Richard's stamp collection. He was a renowned philatelist. It's arrival always made me smile and I took the time to admire the stamps before I tore open the envelope. Sadly, I received my last holiday greeting from Sarah this past December as I received the call on Monday that she had died on Sunday. And it would appear she knew that her time was drawing near as her little book was titled, "Hail & Farewell: The Tale of Richard and Sarah Kanter Dick 1947 to 2014." So hail and farewell Sarah, you shall be missed. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
