BLUEWATER NEWS The Municipality of Bluewater recently developed a Stormwater Servicing Master Plan for the Bayfield settlement area. The first project identified through the Master Plan was the reconstruction of historic Main Street, including upgraded stormwater drainage and streetscape. The plan provided recommendations for a stormwater servicing strategy that will be implemented in phases within the established areas of Bayfield, as well as recommending best practices and strategies for addressing stormwater servicing within future development areas of the community. A public information session is planned to present details on the Master Plan and the proposed Main Street design on June 10. Representatives of the municipality and the Project Engineers will be in attendance at the session to be held at the Bayfield Community Centre from 7-8:30 p.m. The presentation will be made at 7:30 p.m. The Seaforth and District All -Girls Marching Band is looking for girls that would like to do something fun and exciting this summer all the while making new friends and being a leader.

BLUE FLAG TO FLY OVER BAYFIELD MARINA FOR SEVENTH TIME Environmental Defence announced the Canadian recipients of the prestigious Blue Flag awards today. The Blue Flag is an exclusive international eco -label awarded to beaches and marinas meeting high environmental standards. More than 4,000 beaches and marinas in 39 countries have succeeded in attaining this coveted certification worldwide. The Municipality of Bluewater is a proud recipient of the Blue Flag award at the Bluewater Marina in Bayfield for the seventh time. "The marina operators Ron and Pat Reder continue to demonstrate their commitment to the Blue Flag Program's goals. The municipality is extremely fortunate to have a partner that shares its environmental values," said Mayor Tyler Hessel. The Pioneer Park Association as part owner and the Municipality of Bluewater are new partners in the stewardship of the Bayfield Main Beach. "The Park is committed to the vitality of the beach as an amenityfor the entire community. Pioneer Park strongly supports attaining good water quality that is drinkable, swimmable and fishable," said President Brad McLellan. The Blue Flag award is administered in Canada by Environmental Defence and is managed internationally by the Foundation or Environmental Excellence (FEE). Beaches and marinas complete a rigorous review process involving Environmental Defence, a Canadian Jury and an International Jury to receive a Blue Flag. A Flag Raising Ceremony will be hosted at Bayfield Main Beach and Bluewater Marina in Bayfield on June 19. Residents and visitors are invited to join the municipality and Pioneer Park Association at 3 p.m. Environmental Defence is the Canadian Operator of the Blue Flag Program and can be found at blueflag.ca. BEACH CLEANED WITHOUT USE OF GROOMING MACHINES THIS YEAR CHAP Community Connections Outreach Services from Zurich is hosting blood pressure monitoring and measurement as part of the Cardiovascular Health Awareness Program (CHAP) in Bayfield. The goal of CHAP is to promote cardiovascular health in the local community and to raise awareness about the importance of blood pressure monitoring. Trained volunteers will help participants measure their blood pressure and complete a heart and stroke risk profile. A copy of these results will be given to the participant and, with their permission, sent to their family physician if they are participating in the program. The sessions run from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., on the third Thursday of every month, at Pharmasave Michael's Pharmacy. To learn more please call local CHAP Coordinator, Heidi Klopp at 519 236-4373 Ext. 632. People may not be aware but there is a provincial private members bill, Bill 103 known as the Great Lakes Shoreline Right of Passage Act 2012, to make right of access to waterfront universal on the Great Lakes? It is currently stalled after first reading and the MPP has since retired but this may be something of interest to residents along the Iakeshore and the inspiration behind the next hike by the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA). People are invited to join the BRVTA at Clan Gregor Square in Bayfield on May 28 at 9 a.m. as members host a walk along a most precious resource, our beaches, and enjoy the shoreline of the largest body of fresh water in the world. With the recent rise of the water levels on Lake Huron and other lakes it should be a great opportunity to see first-hand the effects of erosion and the placement of manmade structures that attempt to preserve the shoreline. This will be considered a level three hike and will take approximately 1-1.5 hours. Some of the beach accesses have stairs and others are just dirt paths. Please wear suitable clothing and hiking shoes for walking the beach, as well as sunscreen. The hike leaders will be Gary Mayell, 519 565-5662 and Roberta Stemp 519 565-2777. TOUCH THE TRUCK Kids will get a chance to get up close to trucks they often see but rarely get to touch at the seventh annual "Touch the Truck" event on June 20. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek221ssue3O8/tabid/726/Default.aspx 3/15 6/13/2019 Week 22 Issue 308 What child doesn't dream about getting behind the steering wheel of a fire truck, an ambulance, a road grader or a dump truck? Their wildest dreams will come true when they get up close to the real rigs at this popular event! They will find the big vehicles, rain or shine, from 9 a.m. until noon at Lavis Park, located on Hwy. 8 in Holmesville. Children, and the young at heart, will be able to see, touch and learn about the mighty machines, farm t equipment and emergency vehicles at this family friendly event. Admission is free, but participants are asked to bring a non-perishable food item and help fill a loader bucket for the Salvation Army in Clinton. Nice weather on May 17 brought folks out to the Bayfield Beach. The winter storms produced a more "rocky" beach this year. Pamela Scharfe, chair of the LHCC advises this is part of normal lake coastal processes and is being experienced at other locations this year. She noted that people may see summer storms removing the rocks back to the lakebed. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) Another Blue Flag Award for Bayfield Main Beach! Pioneer Park and the Municipality of Bluewater are proud to receive this prestigious award once again. The park and the municipality will operate the beach in partnership in 2015 through the Bluewater Beach Management Committee. The Health Unit will commence water testing at the end of May. The Huron County Health Unit has a video demonstrating the process from collection to analysis. It can be found at huronhealthunit.ca. Results are posted when received from the lab on the website, on the Beach Information Board at the beach, on the blueflag.ca website and a QR code is on the health unit sign at the beach. This year the beach was cleaned according to best practices produced by the Blue Flag Program and the Lake Huron Coastal Centre (LHCC). Beach grooming by raking the entire beach by machine is not recommended. This practice makes the beach more vulnerable to wind erosion. Shore ecology and habitat can be affected negatively. For these reasons, the beach was cleaned manually by picking up the large debris from the fall and winter storms and removing debris that washed up. Machine use was limited to transporting these materials off the beach. The winter storms produced a more "rocky" beach this year. Pamela Scharte, chair of the LHCC advises this is part of normal lake coastal processes and is being experienced at other locations this year. She noted that people may see summer storms removing the rocks back to the lakebed. "This new (cleaning) process is a change but since it will ultimately improve the beach we hope you will support this more natural approach. The Beach Committee will continue to monitor the beach conditions throughout the summer," said Arlene Parker, planning co-ordinator for the Municipality of Bluewater. NEW VERSION OF SAILOR TO RETURN TO ORIGINAL LOCATION A new version of the Main Street Sailor will soon find his way back to his favored former location. Last August, when he became a ward of the Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) and was removed from Main Street for major surgery, it looked as if some of him could be recovered but that was not to be. A new Balm -of -Gilead Linden tree was found and donated by David Loerchner, of DL Creations, and the trunk was mounted at Loerchner's busy woodworks on Hwy. 21. Since then, the tree trunk has been transformed into a slimmer and taller version of the original because the trunk had been freshly cut, it had to cure during the carving process and left for awhile to stabilize. There's nothing like a big hunk of metal to attract a little child like a magnet. Road graders, tractors, dump trucks and many more vehicles will be available for children to explore while parents learn how to incorporate more literacy activities into all of their child's interests. A pedal tractor course, bale maze, a large gravel play area and a chance to build or paint a letter are just a few of the many activities organized by Huron County Children's Services staff for this special family literacy event. Please find us on www.huroncounty.ca or the Huron Ontario Early Years Facebook page. Lavis Contracting Co. Ltd., County of Huron, and the Municipality of Central Huron are the sponsors of this event. For more information call Huron County Children's Services at 519 482-8505 or toll-free 1-888-371-5718.

Melissa Silva, on whose property the old sailor rested, has agreed to host the new version at the old location on Main Street, by popular demand. One of the most photographed characters in Bayfield, he will soon be anchored and painted in his familiar colors for all to admire as he supervises Main Street traffic. The contest to name him is still ongoing. For a contribution of $25 or more to his restoration supporters can get an opportunity to suggest a suitable name to last for the next few decades. The BHS and the Bayfield Breeze will offer an opportunity for the community to vote on his new nickname from the names suggested. An unveiling ceremony will reveal his new moniker in the coming weeks. Contributions can be made at the Bayfield Archives next to the library, 20 Main St. N., (519 440-6206) on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 1- 4 p.m. Donations can also be made at DL Creations. BAYFIELD TREE Week 22 Issue 308 Due to the nature of the Linden tree he was carved from this new version of the Main Street Sailor is a taller, thinner version. (Photo by John Pounder) PROJECT AND GUIDING PARTNER FOR PLANTING The Bayfield Tree Project (BTP) committee has been busy making plans for their spring planting in the village. In addition to the 305 trees already in the ground the committee is pleased to report that several trees will be planted this spring. This will be followed by ongoing plantings in autumn and spring over the following years, until their goal to "re -tree" the village is complete. Thanks to the generosity of village residents and grant support, including from the Municipality of Bluewater, the BTP is able to continue to tree the municipal properties along the roadsides and in the small green spaces within the village limits. This year the BTP are pleased to partner with the members of Bayfield Guiding who successfully applied for a tree -planting grant through TD Friends of the Environment Foundation as part of a program offered by Girl Guides of Canada (GGC). If anyone has trees planted near their property, please remember to begin watering as soon as possible, especially those trees that are now in their second or third year. Residents may also have noticed that committee members were busy pruning trees last autumn assuring that the trees will be properly shaped as they continue to grow. People can assist the BTP to keep this important project moving ahead by donating to the cause. All amounts over $20 will receive a tax receipt. Please make cheques out to ABCA.

The newsletter was released in online and print formats recently. The publication shares some of the work that has been done and is being done by community groups along Lake Huron's southeast shore, an area stretching from Sarnia to Tobermory. The newsletter also provides ways community groups and individuals can help to protect and improve water quality in Lake Huron. (Submitted photo) Healthy Lake Huron: Clean Water, Clean Beaches has announced the release of the 2015 newsletter highlighting some of the work underway to protect and improve water quality along Lake Huron's southeast shore. The southeast shore is a largely rural area stretching from Sarnia to Tobermory. This year, the partnership is conducting an online survey to find out what you think of the newsletter. People who respond to the survey before July 1 have a chance to win a stainless steel reusable water bottle. The survey and newsletter are available online at healthylakehuron.ca. Simply click 'Summer 2015 Newsletter' on the home page to read the newsletter and then take the survey. Previous newsletters can be found under the 'Publications' tab at the top of the home page. Print copies of the newsletter are also available at most local municipal offices or you may contact your local conservation authority. Healthy Lake Huron: Clean Water, Clean Beaches is a partnership of federal and provincial ministries, local government, local public health and conservation agencies, landowners and residents, and community groups. It is the former Lake Huron Southeast Shores Initiative. The Healthy Lake Huron partnership has published an annual newsletter since 2008. "People who live near Lake Huron, people who visit the lake, and people who drink water that comes from the lake, all benefit from clean water and clean beaches," said Tim Cumming, past chair of the Healthy Lake Huron Communications Committee. "The Healthy Lake Huron: Clean Water, Clean Beaches partnership is an example of many groups working together with a common goal. The newsletter offers people practical ways to help protect and improve Lake Huron water quality." The newsletter also shares how many volunteers, landowners, communities, as well as many government and non-government agencies are working together to make this happen. "The Lake Huron Southeast Shores Initiative started because people told governments that more had to be done for Lake Huron," he said. "The newsletter is one of the ways local property owners and residents can find out about the work that is being done in response to that call and how to get involved." The content of the newsletter is available as individual articles. Simply visit healthylakehuron.ca and click on the "What's New" tab to find the articles as HTML links. Click on 'Publications' and 2015 Summer Newsletter' for a PDF version of the newsletter. The 2015 newsletter includes articles about volunteers planting wetland vegetation, shrubs and trees at the Forest sewage lagoons; and the work of communities to protect Great Lakes watersheds, including Pine River, Garvey Creek -Glenn Drain, Lambton Shores, Main Bayfield and Bayfield North. Other highlights include recovery of the Piping Plover, an endangered bird species; plastic pollution in Lake Huron; the work of community members volunteering as citizen scientists; work to protect soil health during the 2015 International Year of Soils; the importance To register call Jane Gillman at 519 482-7478 or Jay Fisher at 591 482-5557. KIDS IN THE KITCHEN Summer is just around the corner, and so is the "Kids in the Kitchen" traveling summer day camp. Across Huron County, six United Churches will host the program, which teaches children ages 8-12 years basic cooking skills through a morning of preparing fun -filled, healthy recipes. But there's more to this weeklong program than just cooking and eating: thoughtful discussions about where our food comes from, what is really "healthy' food, games, stories and more. The last day will feature a Master Chef cooking challenge for all participants, which will be shared with the parents over lunch. Additionally, the traveling day camp is offering another program for older youth, ages 10-15 years, called "MasterChef: The Ultimate Diet." More advanced cooking skills will be introduced and the themes and discussions will focus on critical thinking and exploration of current "diet" trends such as Paleo and Veganism. To accommodate potential summer jobs, this program will be held in the evening at two church sites — one at Blyth United and the other at Lakeshore United in Goderich. Both of these half-day programs ask for a $20 donation for the week to help cover grocery costs. Registration is advised and participants are encouraged to contact the church nearest them to attend. Kids in the Kitchen, Traveling Summer Day Camp will run in the following churches: July 6-10, Blyth United Church, 519-523-4224; July 13-17, Grand Bend United Church, 519 238-2402; July 20-24, Clinton United Church, 519 482-9553; July 27-31, St. Andrew's United Church, Bayfield, 519 565-2854; Aug. 4-7, Brucefield Community United Church, 519 233- 7225; and Aug. 10-14, Lakeshore United Church, Goderich, 519 524-2103.

The rummage sale allows the public to participate in the perpetuation of the park's health and vitality. The funds collected from the Rummage Sale will be used for the ongoing needs and upgrades to the many park projects. Once again this event will be held at the Bayfield Arena from 7-9 p.m. with the "outside" sale beginning at 6:30 p.m. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week221ssue3O8/tabid/726/Default.aspx 7/15 6/13/2019 Week 22 Issue 308 of cover crops; and the tenth year of projects by Huron County residents with support of the Huron County Clean Water Project.

JUNE 7 WILL BE A DAY FOR THE DOGS Neighborhood canines are preparing to take part in the 30th annual Bayfield Lions' Walk for Dog Guides on lune 7. (Photo by lack Pal) Every year we are all given an opportunity to be a part of helping to change the lives of many people across Canada by being a participant in the Purina Walk for Dog Guides. The 30th annual Purina Walk for Dog Guides will take place on the morning of June 7, hosted once again by the Bayfield Lions' Club, starting at 9 a.m. from a new location, Clan Gregor Square The Lions Foundation of Canada's mission is to assist Canadians with a medical or physical disability by providing them Dog Guides at no personal costs. It can cost upwards of $20,000 to train a pup to become a service dog. "This is the 30th anniversary of the walk and the Bayfield Lions have been there from the beginning. On a per capita basis our community walk has been one of the most financially successful in Canada " said Bayfield Lion Jack Pal, Chair of the annual Dog Guide Walk. "This year, however, we are really ramping up our activities and making it an exciting Dog Day to which everyone is invited. We are going to make it our most successful Walk for Dog Guide ever!" The morning will start off, after registration in Clan Gregor Square at 8:30 a.m. with an approximately 5 KM gentle walk along a major part of the Heritage Trail in downtown Bayfield. This is where the similarity with past years ends. After the walk, all the participants and the general public are invited back to Clan Gregor to be part of the Lions Dog Day Gala. Keynote speaker will be Larry Wainwright, a senior Lion and former member of the Bayfield Lions. Wainwright, who is blind, will bring with him his Canine Vision Dog Guide and talk about the history of the program and his own experience with it. The public is vital to the success of this endeavor. Organizers are asking members of the community to donate whatever they can. During spring-cleaning of homes, garages and trailers think of the rummage sale. Large and small items will be accepted. But please note that clothing, shoes, magazines, textbooks, televisions, large appliances, building materials, mattresses or soiled or broken items will not be accepted. All baby items as well as electrical and sports equipment must be CSA approved. This year there will not be a large item pick-up. A "drop-off' location is available and can be accessed by calling Art at 519 565-2783. In addition, donations can be brought to the arena on July 9th starting at 11 a.m. Another part of the sale will be the Silent Auction with an array of wonderful selections donated by community members and local business. Bidding will be held during the sale hours. This year, Carl Humphries is looking after the auction. Please call Humphries at 519 671-4795 or 519 433- 4794 or email him at carl.humphries@hotmail.com to arrange for the pick up of any items generously donated. The Pioneer Park Committee appreciates the donations from the public and the assistance of the many volunteers who make this yearly event possible.

"There will be representation from the London Police K9 unit, the St. John's Ambulance Therapy Dog program and the OSPCA Rescue Dog program. In addition there will be a presentation on the importance of dog grooming and a dog agility demonstration. A well known local veterinarian will talk about various aspects of dog health.

They were led by Denise Iszcuk, conservation educator with Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (holding yellow fish). Pathfinders Ashley Whelan and Bailie Dayman review the records of yellow fish markings with Denise Iszcuk, conservation educator with ABCA. PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER The fourth time was the charm for members of Bayfield Guiding as after a year of trying they were finally able to participate in "The Yellow Fish Road" Storm Drain Marking Program on the evening of May 20. The girls first learned about the program in the spring of 2014 when they enjoyed a meeting learning ways to keep the water in their neighboring rivers, streams and lake healthy. The plan was to follow that session with a night of painting yellow fish on or near the village storm drains. But it poured down rain ... and the next week it did the same ... so the meeting was rescheduled until the following year on Earth Day Apr. 22 and instead of rain, snow cancelled the meeting. So when last Wednesday night proved to be sunny, dry and warm the girls took advantage and marked 21 storm drains with the yellow fish and handed out more than three dozen fish -shaped door hangers providing information about the program to neighbors and businesses located near the drains. Denise Kszcuk, conservation educator with Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA), guided the girls through the program. By painting the little yellow fish symbols beside the drains the girls hope to remind people that storm sewer water is not treated by sewage treatment plants but flows directly into rivers, streams and lakes. The fish act as a reminder that people should never pour hazardous household products, pesticides, motor oil or chemicals down these drains as such pollutants can harm not only people's health but wildlife, aquatic life and fish. For information on this area's household hazardous waste program please call 1-800-265- 9799. "The Yellow Fish Road" Program is a national conservation education initiative created by Trout Unlimited Canada. It was started in 1991. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek221ssue3O8/tabid/726/Default.aspx 11/15 6/13/2019 Week 22 Issue 308 1 In addition to marking the storm drains along Clan Gregor Square and Main Street North the girls hung information door tags on the doors of neighboring homes and businesses to inform people about the program. Having fun while performing an environmental good turn were Sophie and Alexis Harney and Mikayla Andrew.

So you can imagine my excitement when the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce announced plans to promote the first ever town wide yard sale on June 6. Now a little over a week away our membership is busy collecting items to go in the sale. And I am hoping folks will drop around to 16 Keith Crescent to check out all the treasures. I also hope everyone remembers when shopping that the money raised will go to two great causes — the girls of Bayfield Guiding and their favorite place to camp — Klahanie — a Goderich Lions Club Camp. Some amazing things are happening at the camp as ground will be broken soon on both a comfort station and two bunkhouses — but big projects like these always need more funding — so we hope the community will help us to do our part with our June 6th fundraiser. And, of course, I think the more yard sales the merrier folks will be! Look for a list of all the great yard sales being held in the community in the next issue. About a dozen folks have sent me their info already; don't forget to include sale times with your location info. You have until Sunday at 4 p.m. to register for inclusion in the June 3rd issue. — Melody P.S. The Bayfield Breeze now has its own dedicated Facebook Page.
