Weather permitting, the service will be held outdoors near the chapel so those who attend are asked to bring their own lawn chairs. In the event of rain, the service will be held inside the chapel. BLUEWATER NEWS The new location for Bayfield's controversial dog park was back before Bluewater Council last week. It took council 20 minutes of debate and discussion to decide there are several locations that could be suitable. Before a single site is selected by council a public meeting will be held in Bayfield to advise council. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week261ssue3l2/tabid/730/Default.aspx 1/15 6/13/2019 Week 26 Issue 312 municipality. The members of the Blue Community Group are I -r: Jennifer Pate, Sondra Buchner, Pat McDougall, Shelagh Sully, Jack Pal, Ray Letheren, Barry Detenbeck, Roger Lewington and Ken Larone. About 40 people took part in the "Walk for Water" hosted by the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) in support of the Blue Community Group's Celebrate Water weekend, June 20. BRVTA guides led hikers on the two Varna Nature Trails of varying levels of difficulty. The Taylor Trail is 1 KM long and is one of a very few barrier free hard surface trails in Ontario. The 2.5 KM Mavis Trail runs from the Varna Complex to the Bayfield River and is of medium difficulty. Participants in the Walk for Water received a refillable water bottle as part of the Bayfield Blue Community Project plan to eliminate bottled water. Donations were collected at the walk with proceeds being used to install water refill stations throughout the village. 2IMG_6791 The Blue Community Group's Celebration of Water events held on June 19 and 20 were blessed with sunny skies and warm temperatures. These conditions made for a very enjoyable hike along Mavis' Trail on Saturday afternoon. Participants received a refillable water bottle as part of the Bayfield Blue Community Project's plan to eliminate bottled water. Donations were accepted at both events with proceeds being used to install water refill stations throughout the village. Shop Bike Coffee will be selling the special Bayfield refillable water bottles as an ongoing fundraiser for the Blue Community Group. In addition to "Walk for Water", a "Cycling for Water" event was also held on the afternoon of June 19. See this week's story, "Mayhew Family Makes First Donation of Land to Trust" for details. Also a special viewing of Jennifer Pate's documentary, "eXXpedition: Making the Unseen Seen" was held in Pioneer Park on Friday evening. The potential sites are: • 25 Carriage Lane (2.2 acres) • 4 Jane Street (.6 acres) location of the previous dog park • Corner of Hill Terrace and Howard Street, currently used by Road Department • One of seven unopened road allowances A date has not been set for the Bayfield public meeting Knox Presbyterian Church will be the location for Kintail on the Road Day Camp every Wednesday at the church during July and August.

Planting the trees is but the first step. Caring for them to allow them to grow and flourish are the next steps. Here are some tips from the Bayfield Tree Project for those in the community that have young trees planted near their property: New trees need anywhere from one to two and a half inches of water per week to survive. A slow trickle of water over several hours is the best method. When whipper -snipping around trees stay at least three inches away from the trunk of the tree. By snipping too close the bark can be stripped and this puts the trees in jeopardy and they may die. A good way to prevent this from happening is to put a piece of `BIG O' around the bottom of the trunk. Mulching trees is a wise step. Place the mulch around the base of the planting area making sure to keep it off the bark of the tree. The mulch holds in the moisture and is said to keep trees much healthier. NEW YOGA CLASS cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week26issue3l2/tabid/730/Defauit.aspx 2/15 6/13/2019 Week 26 Issue 312 Maude Barlow, chair of the Council of Canadians, took part in the Walk for Water led by members of the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association on the afternoon of June 20 along Mavis' Trail. About 40 people took part in the Walk for Water on Saturday afternoon. Hikers could choose to walk the 1 KM accessible Taylor Trail or the more challenging Mavis' Trail which included a stop at the Scott Robeson Bridge. 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 a variety of scientists and Pate, a respected environmental filmmaker and adventurist. They were studying ocean pollution, particularly micro plastics. Energized by this project Pate is now planning "eXXpedition Great Lakes" in 2016 where she plans to study the microplastic issue in all five of the lakes. Pate was the opening speaker at a special Blue Community Group event at the Bayfield Town Hall on Saturday afternoon. She encouraged the nearly 50 people in attendance to "Think Glocal and Act Glocal." "I have learned just how powerful a strong local community can be since I moved to Bayfield last year," she said. Pate was followed by Maude Barlow chair of the Council of Canadians, who came to the village to present the Blue Community group with their official certificate. Barlow shared several anecdotes with those gathered including her battles with Nestle and the world water shortage that is quickly spreading to once water rich countries, such as Brazil as well as parts of the US and Canada. She also spoke of the Blue Community movement and how people want to be inspired. "They say, 'I want to be for something not always fighting against something,"' Barlow said Ray Letheren, chair of the Blue Community Group, announced at the presentation that the first refillable water station is now in place at the Bayfield Library. Future plans are to have others installed at the Bayfield Arena and in Clan Gregor Square. Another future project for the group is the purchase of a portable water tanker to have water accessible at larger village events like last summer's Tall Ship Festival. 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. What makes Bayfield's Blue Community status unique is the fact that the application was citizen driven not municipality driven. "It's all about connecting breath and body,"' said Nancy Moore, the new yoga teacher offering instruction at the Bayfield Town Hall. "Yoga is also about connecting us to ourselves, each other, our environment, and, eventually, our truths." Moore has been offering yoga classes for several years in the area, and is now teaching Jennifer Reaburn's Wednesday classes for the summer. She practices a breath -inspired class that is gentle but dynamic, suitable for all levels and abilities. Classes are held on Wednesday evenings from 5:30- 6:45 p.m. and the cost is $10. To contact Moore please phone 519 441-7700 or check out her Facebook page at "Bayfield Yoga". IN SEARCH OF SIGN The more observant among us may have noticed that on or about Labour Day Weekend 2014, the sign heralding the entrance to Bayfield's Main Street (in the triangle garden across from Clan Gregor Square) went missing. The Bluewater Communities in Bloom Committee members are hoping that someone knows the whereabouts of this sign. They would like it returned in time for the visit of the Community in Blooms judges in a few weeks. The person in possession of the sign is asked to return it to the garden triangle. It can be rested against the signposts where it was originally attached. No questions asked. AT THE GALLERIES... JMR Collections, formerly JMR Art Gallery, will be holding their third annual Customer Appreciation Night, on the evening of July 3.

She came prepared for the long walk toting along necessities like a refillable water bottle and stuffed toy. Week 26 Issue 312 "Bayfield is the eighteenth community in Canada to receive Blue Community status. The only one not established by the municipality. I am hoping this village will become a role model to show others that we don't have time to wait for the municipality to get the councilors on board that the time to act is now," said Barlow. "Communities to the south on Lake Huron, Central Huron and Goderich have all approached our group with an interest in learning how to become a Blue Community," said Letheren. "So the movement is growing."

HURON COUNTY MUSEUM Huron County Museum staff members are hoping that Bayfield residents may be able to fill in the gaps about the former owner of an artifact donated to the museum in the 1970s. More information is being sought regarding John Mackenzie. In 1978, a Mrs. John Mackenzie donated the North West Mounted Police uniform he apparently wore to serve out west before WWI. The only information the staff has to go on thus far is taken from the Village of Bayfield History (1876 - 1985) where there is a reference to them. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek261ssue3l2/tabid/730/Default.aspx 4/15 6/13/2019 Week 26 Issue 312 encourage others to see the value in our forested lands." He said the parcel is a natural drainage area and provides natural habitat as well. "Jack and Iris Mayhew farmed here for nearly 43 years," he said, pointing to the home farm, cater-cornered from the Mayhew Tract. Greg recalled that at a time when his father, an avid outdoorsman, might have cleared fencerows or removed trees for more crop land, "he was still planting trees and creating grassed waterways." When recalling the history of the ten -acre parcel that was donated, he said it was a source of firewood and a place to enjoy nature. Greg recalled his mother bringing her children and grandchildren to the site. "Every spring Iris would bring us down to look for pussy -willows, a tradition she continued with her grandkids," he said. Roger Lewington, chair of the Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy applauds as the children of Jack and Iris Mayhew, Tim, Janine and Greg unveil the sign announcing the donation of forested land. (Photos by Jack Pal) Huron County Warden Paul Gowing and Municipality of Central Huron Mayor Jim Ginn were among the dignitaries who spoke at the ceremony to thank the Mayhew family for the generous donation that will help to provide local forest cover, groundwater recharge, and wildlife habitat for generations to come. The donation from the Mayhew family is the first one received by the new land trust. "This is a historic first donation of land to the Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy," said Warden Paul Gowing. "I commend the Mayhew family for your generous donation. We appreciate your trust in protecting this land in the memory of Jack and Iris Mayhew. Your donation will safeguard wildlife habitat, while enhancing air and water quality for our children's children." Mayor Jim Ginn said it was a pleasure for him to speak at the ceremony for a number of reasons. "It's a privilege that the first donation to the Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy happens in Central Huron," he said. "It is also a privilege because I knew Jack and Iris very well. Jack owned another property directly across the highway from my farm. For a number of years we got to know each other pretty well, and spent many times talking about trees. It was kind of a passion both of us had. On behalf of the Municipality of Central Huron I would like to thank the Mayhew family for donating this and showing the good stewardship practices to preserve this land in perpetuity." Bill Strong, constituency manager, brought remarks on behalf of Huron -Bruce MP Ben Lobb, who had a prior commitment at another charitable event. "Ben got to know Jack and Iris very well over the years," Strong said, and the fact that Jack was an accomplished wood carver made the donation of this woodlot an appropriate way to remember Jack and Iris. "I had the privilege of knowing Jack myself," said Strong. "Congratulations to the Mayhew family for this donation." "Mr. and Mrs. John Mackenzie were one of the owners of the Reeve Burns home (built in 1898) on Clan Gregor Square now called "Clifton". They owned the home from 1949 until 1963." Anyone with more history to share is invited to call Registrar Patti Lamb at 519 524-2686 Ext. 202 or email her at plamb@huroncounty.ca.

The Conservation Foundation facilitated the creation of the HTLTC as a local and permanent way for people to leave a lasting land and nature legacy. People can do this through donations and bequests of land to protect and preserve the natural, recreational, scenic, historical, or agricultural importance of some of the properties of the historic Huron Tract area. "The Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy is a volunteer organization with a separate board of directors," Radtke said. "The Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy gives people in the Huron Tract area a way to make a positive difference by helping to protect, restore land, water and nature. The land is permanently protected to preserve its conservation, heritage, or agricultural values. On behalf of the Foundation I would like to commend and thank the Mayhew family for this generous and lasting donation in the memory of Jack and Iris Mayhew. This lasting legacy will not only provide environmental health benefits to the people of this area but it will inspire other people to do the same. This is the start of something very important." Roger Lewington, chair of th _.,re in front of the newly unveiled sign with members of the donor family I -r: Tim Mayhew, Janine Jones, Greg and Nancy Mayhew. "This is a special day for the land trust," said Roger Lewington, chairman of the HTLTC, marking the first donation of land. "This will be here for generations to come. There is a need for more forest cover and that makes it even more important to have donations that preserve the forest cover we have. Forest cover provides wind protection, cleans the air we breathe, retains runoff and provides sanctuary for wildlife." The Mayhew Tract is located about two KMs south of Holmesville, on the northeast corner of Tower Line Road and Parr Line. It is just north of the watershed divide between the Bayfield River and Maitland River. The ten -acre (four -hectare) Mayhew Tract property is entirely forested. Most of the trees are lowland hardwood (for example, Silver Maple and Aspen) and there are also some conifers near the west side of the property. There is also an intermittent drain on the property. The forest helps to store water through the year and recharge the groundwater table. This is one of the benefits to this nature area along with habitat. Land trusts or land conservancies are independent, charitable organizations that work with private landowners to preserve open space and nature. Land trusts accept donations and bequests of land and conservation agreements and, in some cases, may purchase land or conservation agreements. The land is then protected from that time on. The HTLTC gets its name and geographic boundaries from the days of early settlement in this part of Ontario. The Huron Tract was purchased by the Canada Company, an agent of the British government, to be distributed to colonial settlers of Upper Canada.

MINIATURE HORSES PUT ON REALLY BIG SHOW Visitors to the show were treated to seeing some professional trainers and leads showing horses as well as those showing for the first time. (Submitted photo) Close to one hundred miniature horses congregated at the REACH Huron centre in Clinton for a sanctioned competition on June 20. The American Miniature Horse Registry Sanctioned Show presented by the Bayfield Agricultural Society was the first for this region. The show began at 9 a.m. and ended in the early hours of Sunday. There were over 150 competitive classes and some exhibitors traveled three to four hours to get to Clinton. The day included Conquering Obstacles Overcoming Limitations (COOL) classes making it an inclusive show. Two judges chose the winning entries in many halter, driving, and carriage classes. Size does matter with a miniature horse show and they are measured to qualify for specific classes. Liz Elliott organized the show and was pleased with the enthusiasm of those taking part. Approximately 30 local horse owners participated in the show. A spouse of one of the exhibitors from Niagara Falls said he knew he wouldn't be home until mid -Sunday morning but he was enjoying the hospitality at the show. Visitors to the show were treated to seeing some professional trainers and leads showing horses as well as those showing for the first time. All appreciated seeing the miniature horses putting on a show for the audience.

And in these cases words can hurt. Melody Falconer -Pounder I may be naive but I don't think there are many among us that intentionally pollute our environment or water supply. I don't let the water run when I'm brushing my teeth. I take cloth bags to the grocery store. I have a refillable water bottle and I use it. But there are little blue specks in my "Rockin' Mint" toothpaste. I don't want plastic in my toothpaste. I don't want it in my body and I don't want it in the water supply. But that is where it is ending up. The beads are small enough that they slip right through water treatment facility filters and into watersheds. Education is key and I thank young people like Jennifer Pate and veteran activists like Maude Barlow and stalwart soldiers like Ray Letheren for continuing to work at making people aware of the dangers that our world water supply and our environment faces daily. So before you pick up your toothbrush or climb in the shower check the labels on the products you use for the five "words" listed above. Better yet read the labels in the stores before you even purchase the product. After all one of the best ways to have your voice heard is with your power as a purchaser and a consumer. Together we can join in the revolution to ban the bead. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
