(Photos by Brian Brandon) On Feb. 10, Dianne Brandon, Carrie Sabourin, and her wee daughter Ava, went for a walk around the village. It wasn't just the milder temperatures and sunshine that brought them outside — it was their very own "Walk for Memories" on behalf of the Alzheimer's Society of Huron County. illlll II 1111111 II llllllllllllllll ROYAL LEPAGE IIIII II IIIII II II IIIII IIII IIIII II q1_ BLUEWATER NEWS The cost to bring Bayfield's storm sewer system up- to-date is estimated at six to eight million dollars, Bluewater council was told at their meeting held on Feb. 21. Dale Erb, an engineer for B. M. Ross of Goderich presented a draft of the master plan for upgraded storm sewer system after an 18 -month study. Flooded basements, flooded roads and flooded ground water in the community will be reduced, he said. Also, the quality of storm water running from the new sewers into Lake Huron and the Bayfield River will be much cleaner. Council and Erb supported a recommendation by Deputy Mayor Jim Fergusson to hold a community meeting in the village to explain the scope, the phases and timing of the new sewer construction. Sections of the existing system that remain in good condition will be used in the new system. The homes and subdivisions north of the river are not expected to need new storm sewers.

But Brandon was unavailable that day so the trio completed their walk a few days later and a very successful walk it was. "We raised $2,200 this year and I think that will put us over $12,000 in the six years we have done the walk," said Brandon. "With both of us losing our moms in the past year it was nice to have the walk alone with Ava." Dianne's mother, Doris Schilbe died on Aug. 4, 2014 at the age of 80 after living with Alzheimers for a number of years. Karen Courtney, Carrie's mother, died recently after a battle with cancer. Carrie walks in honor of her maternal grandmother, Elane Brandon who is currently living with Alzheimers "The biggest single donation came from Bill and Joyce Dowson of $600. This was a result of money collected at the party organized by Mike Dixon held in Bill's honor at the Stanley Complex in December." The duo's annual Empties for Alzheimer's campaign raised $700. The 20th anniversary walk for the society was the final winter one. A spring walk will replace it starting on May 2 of this year. Brandon reports that they will still do the bottle collection over the Christmas season as an Alzheimer's fundraiser. FORMER BAYFIELD RESIDENT RAISING FUNDS FOR FEATURE FILM Valerie Laurie the violence of her former life. Valerie Laurie, a former Bayfield resident now living in Toronto, is looking to her friends, family and the folks back home to help her finance production of a feature film through "Indiegogo" a crowdfunding website. "Our daughter is producing this film for her award-winning director friend, Marco Veltri," explained Willi Laurie. "The film does not meet the criteria for federal or provincial funding so they are turning to crowd sourcing to fund some of the film costs." This Psychological Thriller film is entitled, "Drowning" and is about a prostituted woman trying to retire, but finding it difficult to escape To learn more about the crowdsourcing campaign and the film project visit: hftp://igg.me/at/drowning. "I can't express how appreciative I am of your support as I jump feet -first into this adventure!" Valerie wrote in an email announcing the project. "This is the dream for me! Every dollar helps, but even if you are unable to contribute, just sharing this link with your friends and family to spread awareness of our campaign is an amazing help!" TILLVIANN REALIZED 103 YEARS village is not included in the six to eight million dollar investment. The first construction phase of the new plan is expected to be Main Street. The existing storm sewers on Main Street can't handle heavy rains without flooding many parts of the streets. Before any redevelopment or growth on the street takes place, new storm sewers are needed. Planning the restoration of the storm sewer system started in August 2013. The first public meeting was held Feb. 12, 2014. The revisions to the first proposal were completed last December. Homeowners in the village will be encouraged to use rain barrels and extended eve troughs to make the new system more efficient than the existing sewer system. Now roof run-off competes with sump pumps during heavy rains and storms. On Feb. 28, the "Saturdays at the Library' series will continue with a presentation by Kevin and Nancy Kale. The couple will share their knowledge of The Home Exchange Process by describing their five- week home exchange experience in Ireland in 2014. The event will be held at the Bayfield Library and will run from noon to 1:30 p.m. There is no charge to attend. WORLD DAY OF PRAYER St Andrew's United Church will host the annual World Day of Prayer Service on March 6th starting at 2 p.m. According to the Women's World Day of Prayer website, "The World Day of Prayer service for 2015 has been written by the Christian women of The Bahamas." Although written by women, all are invited to attend and share in this service that focuses on the theme of 'Jesus said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? The service will also provide knowledge about The Bahamas and not only from the tourist's perspective.

Okay, so they aren't forecasting a +1 but I'll take it. If you don't get the joke you've never seen this skit and you need to.
