SUNDAY'S WALK FOR DOG GUIDES
CELEBRATES 30 YEARS
Nettle, an intelligent, two-year-old Yellow Labrador
with a truly keen sense of smell, joined the
Bordman family in 2013. She provided Terry and
Beata Bordman with a much needed extra set of
hands - or rather, paws - to help care for their 12 -
year -old twin daughters Brooke and Jade who suffer
from two life-threatening conditions: Type 1
Diabetes and Celiac disease. (Submitted photo)
"On June 7, bring your dog and walk the
Heritage Trail through beautiful downtown
Bayfield on behalf of Dog Guides. Your
participation and donations will help us raise
and train more dogs to be of service to those
desperately in need," said Jack Pal, chair, Dog
Guide Walk Committee.
"Dogs cost upwards of $20,000 each to train
and are made available free of charge to those
who qualify," he added.
The Bayfield Lions' Club's Walk for Dog Guides
will start at 9 a.m. from Clan Gregor Square.
Registration will take place in the gazebo
starting at 8:30 a.m.
Recently, one of the Lions' Dog Guides, Nettle,
a yellow Lab, was inducted into the Purina
Animal Hall of Fame for exemplary service to
her charges: two twin girls with severe diabetes
and celiac disease. To understand the
importance of this America -wide Dog Guide

BARLOW TO HONOR VILLAGE WITH
BLUE CO STATUS
On the weekend of June 19 and 20, Canada's celebrated authority on world water issues,
Maude Barlow, will make a return visit to Bayfield. She will be here to honor this village that
recently attained Blue Community status.
A Blue Community acknowledges water as a human right and denounces the privatization of
this resource. Thirty community organizations committed to eliminate the use of bottled water
from meetings and sponsored events. These groups represent children from 5 years of age,
service organizations, health focused groups, bridge clubs, choirs and virtually every facet of
village life.
Bayfield joins many communities around the world to be so honored.
Barlow is a frequent visitor to Bayfield. She is the chair of the Council of Canadians. She also
chairs the board of Washington -based Food & Water Watch, is a founding member of the San
Francisco—based International Forum on Globalization, and a Councilor with the Hamburg -
based World Future Council. In 2008-09, she served as Senior Advisor on Water to the 63rd
President of the United Nations General Assembly. She has authored and co-authored 16
books.
Everyone is invited to join in the many events planned for the weekend. The schedule begins
on Friday with "Cycling for Water", a 35 km return trip from Clan Gregor Square that departs at
1:30 p.m.
Holmesville will be the destination of cyclists to not just celebrate water but also the donation of
a parcel of woodlot on Parr Line to the Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy. The Mayhew
family has made this donation in memory of Jack and Iris Mayhew. The couple's youngest son,
Greg, and his wife, Nancy, are planning to cycle with the group.
Those wishing to take part should be in Clan Gregor Square at 1:15 p.m. The cost to
participate is $10 each. The proceeds will be split between the Bayfield Blue Community
Project and The Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy.
And then Friday evening the documentary "eXXpedition: Making the Unseen Seen" by Jenn
Pate will be shown at Pioneer Park at sunset. Those who attend are asked to bring their own
chair.
Pate, a Bayfield area resident, was one of fourteen women that set off in a sailboat to cross the
Atlantic from the Canary Islands to Martinique late in 2014. The group consisted of scientists of
every stripe and Pate, a respected environmental filmmaker and adventurist. They were
called, "Local Thursdays". Every Thursday the two
stores will offer refreshments, specials and draws for
the local folks as well as those who just wish they
were.

Project.
According to the Girl Guides of Canada website, over 100 units participated in tree planting
activities across the country in the 2014-15 year.
"The TD FEF Tree Planting Grant Program offers girls and young women a hands-on way to
raise their awareness of environmental issues while supporting them to transform green
spaces in their communities. Through grants of up to $2,500 for girl -led tree planting and
greening projects, this environmental initiative helps to bring girls and nature closer together as
they make their communities greener and more livable," the website states.
The Bayfield Tree Project's regular cycle of spring and fall planting is continuing in 2015.
"Several trees were planted along village streets as part of our ongoing `infilling' process," said
Bochner. "In addition, four beautiful maples were planted on the east side of Main Street. In the
next few weeks, we also hope to install two large wooden containers with good-sized trees on
the west side of Main Street."
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.

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.
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
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.
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

A neighbor to three new trees on the corner of
Harbour Court and Jowett's Gove Road was kind
enough to loan the girls a hose and some water to
help establish the freshly planted trees.
Verbeek's Farm and Garden Centre Inc., of Clinton,
dug the holes earlier in the day so that members of
Bayfield Guiding could simply add fertilizer, soil,
mulch and some water to the new trees.
The girls in blue were out and about along Harbour Court and Jowett's Grove Road on Thursday evening
finishing the planting of several of the 17 trees they donated to the Bayfield Tree Project through a TD Friends
of the Environment Foundation grant in conjunction with Girl Guides of Canada.

On June 13 from 10 a.m. to noon some members will
be showing off their stitches and answering any
question passersby may have outside the library on
Bayfield Main Street North and all are invited to come
and meet the group and say "Hello". They are bound
to spin a good yarn!
Hundreds of people will descend on Bayfield on the
morning of June 21 for the annual Safe Harbour Run
that raises funds for the Huron Women's Shelter.
Registration and awards: Bayfield Community Centre
and Arena - 5 Jane St. Race day registration and

NEW OWNERS OF SECRET GARDEN BED & BREAKFAST TO
HOST OPEN HOUSE ON JUNE 7
PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
The Secret Garden Bed & Breakfast, 12 The
Square in Bayfield, went up for sale on a Friday
and Marcia Leitch made an offer on the property
the following Monday.
"The minute it went on the market I knew it was
my kind of home, my kind of garden," said Leitch.
"We were in the process of looking at homes in
the area when this place came up. It just seemed
perfect, a gorgeous house with a business
combined."

week 23 Issue 309
The new owner of the Secret Garden Bed & Breakfast, Marcia Leitch, stands at the heart of the property.
Guests will marvel at the attention to detail found in the gardens at the property.
The Secret Garden Bed & Breakfast is located in a restored 19th century home in the village of Bayfield. It is
located in the heritage designated Clan Gregor Square. A former owner paid close attention to detail when
restoring the property using the home's original windows in the nearby garage that creates a lovely backdrop
for the elaborate gardens.
The owner's love for antique pieces can be seen in the common area of the bed and breakfast.
Leitch is no stranger to the bed and breakfast
world. She had such a business in Seaforth about
15 years ago.
"To be successful you have to have a draw which
Bayfield has. In Seaforth, we got the overflow
destination dollars from the Stratford Festival but
when problems developed with the economy and
the American tourist trade slowed it dried up," she
said. "Running a bed and breakfast is time
consuming. You have to make a conscience
decision that you are not going to be traveling a
lot. This lifestyle suits me better than traveling."
The Secret Garden Bed & Breakfast offers three
bedrooms: a king bed with a single; a double bed
with a single; and one queen bed. Each offers a
private bath and there is a common area with a
specialty coffee maker, bar fridge etc.
The accommodations come with a very full
breakfast, starting with a cold breakfast buffet
including yogurt, homemade granola, muffins and
fruit, followed by a hot breakfast of pancakes,
French toast, an egg dish and meat.
"People are never hungry when they leave here,"
said Leitch.
Breakfast is also where her husband, Fred, gets
in on the action.
"He makes the fruit salad, prepares the coffee and
cooks the bacon on the barbecue before he
leaves for his real job in Stratford where he is a
lawyer," she said.
The couple moved in to the house on Dec. 1,
2014 and opened the bed and breakfast in
January. Leitch has been pleased with the
number of guests she's greeted thus far.
"May was really busy and bookings for June, July
and August should keep me insanely busy," she
said.
Leitch went on to say that what she finds the most
interesting about being a bed and breakfast
proprietor are the people.
"So far our oldest guest was 90 years old and our
youngest one year plus all ages of people in
between. I used to worry that at breakfast they
would have nothing in common to talk about but it
is amazing how people connect. It is fun to watch
and to listen to the conversations."
The couple is also enjoying settling into the
community and Leitch describes Bayfield as a
"happy place."
"Bayfield is a friendly community. Everyone talks
to everybody and everyone is so helpful. We used
to come to Bayfield to the restaurants and the
beach. Now my grandkids are very excited that
we are just across the road from the splash pad
and park as they love using both."

week 23 Issue 309
The new owners of the Secret Garden Bed & Breakfast have upgraded one of the three rental rooms to a King
size bed. Owner Marcia Leitch has used her mother's bedroom suite to decorate the room. The furniture is
decorated with inlaid wood and is about 200 years old.
The new King bedroom at the Secret Garden Bed & Breakfast has the extra benefit of a single bed created from
the footboard of the owner's mother's 200 year-old bed frame. An up cycled extra piece when the bed was
converted into a king for the comfort of guests.
The Secret Garden Bed & Breakfast was
established in the summer of 2013. But for 25
years prior to that it was known as Clair on the
Square and former owner Clair Soper has
dropped in for a visit three times since Leitch took
over the business.
"My husband knew her from way back," said
Leitch. "And I first met her on a garden tour."
Leitch is hosting an Open House at the bed and
breakfast on June 7 from 4-6 p.m. and Soper will
be in attendance to say hello to old friends.
"All in the community are welcome to drop in. I
picked a time later in the day to allow for area
merchants to come by after work and also I didn't
want to interfere with the Bayfield Lions' Dog
Guide Walk event in the park earlier in the day."

Breakfast or to check their rates visit their
website: http://www.secretgardenbandb.com.
Leitch can also be reached by calling 519 565-
4010 or sending an email to mleitch@tcc.on.ca.
Bookings can be made through Bookings.com at

So this is my favorite time of year. The days are growing longer, the birds are nesting, the spring flowers are blooming and my
extracurricular activities are winding up before they wind down for the summer.
With our new lifestyle comes the opportunity to spend more time outside and our new address certainly allows for some
creative gardening. I have delighted in reviving a long forgotten shade garden for which I have discovered some new -to -me
varieties of Hosta and other perennials. These plants are like returning friends, pushing up through the soil every year after a
long winter, they are the investment pieces in the garden. The annuals are the "bling" and both my husband and I are having
fun adding lots of different colors and varieties to several existing gardens. We are finding that the hummingbirds and
bumblebees are pleased with our efforts — reason enough to water and weed throughout the coming summer months.
For me, however, the very best part is being able to dine alfresco on warm nights with the flowers for decor and the chirping birds for ambience.
Everywhere we go people are asking us how we are enjoying "retirement"? Having so many caring friends in the community that take the time to ask is
most gratifying. I think it is safe to say we are enjoying it very much — having the time to literally smell the flowers is something we are both truly grateful to
have the opportunity to do. — Melody
