BLUEWATER BRIEFS A couple of items at the Bluewater Council's Committee of the Whole Meeting held on Jan. 5th may be of interest to Bayfield residents. The Bayfield Arena Community Partners (BACP) have received a helping hand from Bluewater Council to operate a food booth in the Bayfield Arena. The BACP are a group of volunteers working with council to create and operate fund-raising initiatives to keep the arena financially viable including keeping the artificial ice plant operational throughout the winter for hockey and skating. Council told the BACP they could operate the booth with insurance coverage as long as they met municipal supervision standards. "Our insurance provider has also recommended that the volunteers receive adequate training from municipal staff on health and safety and ensure proper use and maintenance of any equipment," Clerk Gary Long explained to council. Bayfield business and residential growth may be at risk because sewers are overloaded. The Bayfield sewage lagoons are at capacity and considerable investments will be necessary to add capacity in order to accommodate future development," Clerk Gary Long told his Bluewater Council. The problem will be an issue in the council budget debates that start this month. The municipal staff is exploring funding sources through county, provincial and federal governments. The environmental assessment started last year. "There have been discussions with Central Huron over the past few years regarding their participation in this process.

(Photo by Dianne Brandon) On Jan. 1, the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) hosted its first New Year's Day Mayor's Levee and Hike. About 50 trail members and Bluewater residents took part in the event. Mayor of Bluewater Tyler Hessel, Deputy Mayor Jim Fergusson and Councilor Dave Roy welcomed everyone into 2015 and then set off on the Taylor Trail one of the Varna Nature Trails located at the Stanley Complex. Following the hike, Hessel hosted a reception with cake, coffee and hot chocolate in the council chambers. The levee tradition dates back 300 years to England. At that time the king held a reception for his noblemen to meet his new advisors. The executive of the trail association thought it would be fun to dust off the old tradition for Mayor Hessel and his council and have them meet their "serfs." WINTER WALK RESCHEDULED FOR THIS SATURDAY The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) will be holding their annual Winter's Walk on Jan. 17 along the Varna Nature Trails at the Stanley Complex in Varna. Those who would like to take part in the guided hike are asked to register by 10:30 a.m. The hike along Mavis' Trail and the Taylor Trail will commence at 10:45. The hike will take approximately one hour and the terrain is suitable for all ages and abilities. The hike leaders will be Roger Lewington, Helen Varekamp and Dave MacLaren. If the weather continues to cooperate people will have the option to snowshoe along the trails. If there is sufficient snow, Dwain Forrest, of Timber's Outfitters in Seaforth, will give a quick "lesson" on the trail on snowshoeing. He will also bring rental snowshoes to make it convenient for anyone to try if they wish. Participants are also welcome to bring their own snowshoes. Starting at noon at the Stanley Complex a hot dog lunch will be served along with hot apple cider. Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) staff will also be on hand to share information about the Bayfield Watershed Plan and weather permitting will conduct a snowpack measurement demonstration. There will be additional displays set up by the BRVTA and the Bayfield Blue Community Project. Donations to the BRVTA will be gratefully accepted.

Someone doesn't like the sound that bubble wrap makes when you tear it. Someone now accompanies my husband and I down the stairs nearly every time we leave our second floor abode especially if we have a box or a tote in our arms. I think our 16 year-old grey Tabby has come to the realization that there is change afoot. And he really wants to discuss it — usually at 4 a.m. On occasion Curly (the last of our furry stooges) requires a time out — he goes in to the cat carrier for a few minutes and this generally calms him down. This happened a couple times over Christmas when our three year-old grandson was visiting. He followed me into the room where Curly was sequestered and as toddlers are want to do asked me, "Why is Curly in the cage?" My response, "He is having a time out." "Well, I have time outs too," he said thoughtfully. "But my Mom and Dad don't put me in a cage." "Oh, no?" I questioned with a smile. "No," he responded. "I have to sit on the green couch." Oh, how much easier it would be if we could only explain to Curly that even though the furniture is slowly going missing and the shelves and cupboards are being emptied it doesn't mean we're leaving him behind. In fact while many of our things are going into storage his cat stand, his scratching post, his favorite rocking chair, his ottoman, his litter box and his cat carrier are all going to find right of place in our new apartment. Oh and there is a big front window with a very wide ledge to watch the world from and a lovely gas stove to curl up near. It's practically a feline Shangri-la! And it is the very least we can do to help with his transition — Curly has been a loving friend for nearly two decades — providing us with entertainment and companionship suited to our "on call" lifestyle. I sure hope he enjoys a well-deserved "retirement" along with my hubby and I. — Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
