(Submitted photo) The Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) is raising money for an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) for the post office box area at the Bayfield Library Complex. The chamber executive feels that this is a good location in the village as it is accessible 24/7. And immediate accessibility to an AED is essential as the survivability of a person in distress drops seven per cent per minute. The Bayfield Lions' Club, Bayfield Optimist Club and Pharmasave Michael's Pharmacy have all generously kicked off the campaign with a donation of $250 each toward an AED costing $2,000. Local residents have also joined in the fundraising and as of publication another $700 is needed to finalize the purchase. People can donate toward the purchase. Donations over $20 are eligible for a 2016 tax receipt. Cheques should be made out to: Municipality of Bluewater with "Bayfield Defib Project" on the memo line. Donations can be dropped off at: SHOP BIKE COFFEE, 11 Main Street N., Bayfield, ON, NOM 1 GO. FIRST DRAFT OF COMMUNITY INIPROVEIVIENT PLAN PRESENTED Bluewater Council and about 50 residents from three villages and six hamlets discussed the first draft of the Bluewater Community Improvement Plan (BCIP) at a special council meeting on March 26 in the Stanley Complex in Varna. Mark Cassidy, coordinator of Economic Development for Bluewater presented the draft plan. Council is expected to approve the final plan at its meeting Apr. 7.

The lights may have been out but collectively The Glee Sisters shone. Those who attended the Earth Hour celebrations were encouraged to sing -along by flashlight. PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER An Earth Hour concert by The Glee Sisters at St. Andrew's United Church marked the launch of the 2015 season for the Bayfield Tree Project. Roma Harris, a member of the Bayfield Tree Project Committee, spoke to the generous crowd that attended about the progress of the committee in planting trees on public lands throughout the village since spring 2011. Two hundred trees have been planted to date but the wish is to plant a further 300 as well as to come up with a plan to "retree" Bayfield Main Street North where trees are disappearing and won't be replaced until the long-awaited storm sewer project is realized. The committee is considering options for the placement of larger trees in special containers that can be spaded in once the project is complete. Harris also acknowledged that the Slippery Elm on Bayfield Main Street North, in front of The Red Pump has been declared a local treasure by tree consultant Martin Quinn and the community needs to determine a way to protect and preserve this tree before it is too late. Over the winter it was noted that it was scarred by snow removal equipment and the vehicular compaction of the soil surrounding it is also proving stressful. Once the lights went out in the church the concert began with The Glee Sisters performing several numbers with themes varying from night and day, sea and sky. The audience was also invited to join in singing such selections as "Oh Susanna" and "Scarborough Fair". Several of the choir members took on the role of choral director giving Choir Director Leslie Bella a chance to sit back and enjoy portions of the concert. Members of the St. Andrew's United Church Choir also joined the women singing in both the opening and closing numbers. And when the lights came back on, donations to the BTP 2015 campaign, which in all likelihood will see trees planted in Carriage Lane and along Jowett's Grove Road, were gratefully accepted. To make a donation to the BTP spring tree planting please contact Roma Harris at 519 565- 2373. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeekl4lssue300/tabid/718/Default.aspx 9/12 6/13/2019 Week -14 Issue -300 A generous crowd joined in the singing during the Earth Hour concert.

If you are to include people in your photos be sure to have their permission to publish their picture on-line and also send in their names and where they are from. And don't forget to tell me who took the photo for proper credit to be issued Melody Falconer -Pounder SUBMISSIONS NMI "TR S(WIR8E4 45riCW4 . Today you are reading the 300th issue of the Bayfield Breeze. No, this isn't an April Fool's Day joke although I'm not so sure how I feel about this milestone falling on this most auspicious day on the calendar. Since the very first issue was launched in July 2009 your contributions have shaped what we are — a voice — an online connection to what is happening in our community. We have been embraced not only by readers and subscribers but by contributors as well. I consider myself so fortunate to have both talented writers and photographers in residence that are happy to help cover events. They do a superb job and I thank them for their ongoing efforts. We wouldn't be able to publish weekly issues without advertising support and some of these advertisers have been with us since the beginning. As always we could use a few more on our team. Spring is a great time to come on board. Show the community that you value how they disseminate their news and showcase your business or service for a six month or one year time frame. Someone said this week that the "Breeze — is your baby' but there is an old adage "that it takes a village..." and in this case it really does. On behalf of the Bayfield Breeze team, Dennis, Mike and John, thank you for allowing us to come into your inbox these past 300 weeks. Hopefully the winds will continue in our favor for many more issues to come. — Melody P.S. The Bayfield Breeze now has its own dedicated Facebook Page.
