The Social Research Planning Council (SRPC), a supported partner of United Way Perth -Huron, in partnership with the Regional Labour Market Strategy project for Perth County, Stratford and St. Marys and the Huron County Health Unit has investigated the actual cost of living in our community and has released their latest report about the living wage for Perth and Huron Counties. A living wage is the hourly wage a worker needs to earn to cover their family's basic everyday expenses after taking into account governmental benefits, taxes and payroll deductions. For Perth and Huron County, the living wage amount has been calculated as being $16.47 an hour. Ryan Erb, executive director of United Way Perth -Huron, noted that "calculating a living wage is only the first step." He was encouraged that "so many people — business owners, economic development staff and others — have participated in this process. We all agree on one thing: people need to make ends meet. Getting there is a longer journey, but one worth traveling together." The living wage formula for Ontario is based on the nationally agreed-upon household structure of a couple -family with two young children. The costs associated with this family structure would also support other family types at different stages of the life cycle, for example, young adults who are planning a family or older workers who are nearing retirement. Due to government transfers and deductions the rate is not significantly different for individuals without a spouse or dependents. The costs of living expenses included in this calculation are conservative and reasonable, and provide for basic essentials such as food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and healthcare. What are not included are credit card or student loan debts, savings for children's education or retirement, pets, lifestyle choices (such as alcohol, smoking), caring for disabled or elderly family members, or emergencies. Research shows that living wages help improve the overall quality of life in a community and lifts children out of poverty by giving families a basic level of economic security, and allowing them to live without the constant stress of deciding which bills to pay. In our community half of all households (or approximately 26,000 people) have a total household income below the annualized living wage rate of $60,000 per year. This is a significant challenge. Several employer focus groups were held to discuss what the impact of offering a living wage in our community might be for an employer. Overall there was a very positive reaction to concept of a living wage, although there was a mixed response to the actual monthly cost of living that was calculated. Some felt the budget was too conservative; others were surprised at just how much a family of four requires. Although openly receptive to joining a community -wide advocacy campaign to raise awareness of what it takes to make ends meet, several employers commented that living wages might have "unintended consequences" on community life. That if wages were to increase that municipal taxes and the cost of local products and services, such as a cup of coffee, would go up. However, there are many factors that contribute to the costs of a product or service, not just wages. What is often not taken into account is the social costs that result from low-wage work and poverty, such as poor physical and mental health outcomes, low levels of educational attainment, increases in homelessness, and high consumer debt -to -income ratios — costs borne not only by low-wage families but also by corporations, government and society as a whole. The camp will run from July 8 until Aug. 26. The cost is $5 per child per day or $7 for two or more children. Lunch and snacks are provided. For more information please call the church at 519 565-2913 and leave a message.

STORY BEHIND PARK BENCH TO BE SOLD AT PIONEER PARK AUCTION History buffs will no doubt want to try and win this Silent Auction item - one of the original Pioneer Park benches with a colorful past! It will be available to bid on at the Silent Auction during the Pioneer Park Rummage Sale to be held at the Bayfield Arena on July 10. (Submitted photo) Geordie Palmer recently submitted a history about the park bench that is one of the items up for bid in this year's Silent Auction held in conjunction with the Pioneer Park Rummage Sale on July 10th. "This is the story of the old concrete and wood park bench presently located at the south end of Pioneer Park, near the Ginkgo tree. It was a sunny afternoon in 2001, when I received a call from John Elliott that the bank at the North end of the park had fallen away. He was concerned for the safety of the visitors to the park. I met with John and we assessed the situation and then determined that we needed to clearly mark off the slide area. We rounded up a number of steel fence posts and a roll of plastic fencing and erected a temporary barrier along the collapsed bank. "The following day we returned and inspected the area adjacent to the slide. We noticed that there were a couple of pieces of concrete protruding out of the bank. We then decided to investigate further. We proceeded to excavate around the concrete, and discovered they were the end pieces of an old park bench. They were too heavy to retrieve up the bank by hand so we tied them to a rope, and secured them to the end of my truck trailer hitch, and dragged them to the top of the bank. Later on we fashioned wooden back and seat boards, including wooden securing pegs, and reassembled them to their original usable condition." In addition to this old park bench, the Silent Auction will include 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.

EDITOR'S NOTE: As part of the Celebration of Water, Jennifer Pate, a member of the Blue Community Group, organized a brain storming session on the topic of water inviting women from many facets of village life and beyond to participate. The group came away empowered, inspired and hopeful. Here in her own words are Pate's impressions of the weekend in its entirety: Every once in a while, you have an experience that solidifies to you that the path you're on is right and needed. Other times, they can make you reflect and either choose a different path altogether - or to adapt your life to change aspects of your journey that make it more aligned with what you believe in. The Celebration of Water in Bayfield - from screening my documentary "eXXpedition: Making the Unseen Seen" in Pioneer Park to gathering a group of women from across the community to brainstorm about human and environmental health in the Great Lakes, from presenting alongside the inspirational Maude Barlow, to honoring the efforts of the Blue Community Bayfield board and the community groups that have supported it - the whole weekend has made me realize that for perhaps the first time in my environmental campaigning career, I am in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing. The events of the weekend have only solidified for me that Bayfield will be the centre, the hub even, for the necessary change in the way we think about and care for our Great Lakes. We are so fortunate to live where we do, and we have the responsibility as well as the privilege to create a healthier future for not only our own backyard but the world around us. We must change the dialogue of individuals and communities from being "powerless" to "powerful", from being without hope, to realizing the necessity of optimism in the face of daunting environmental and social challenges. We have to choose to speak out rather then remain silent and above all to act, rather than shy away. Bayfield is where that dialogue change begins, and I am honored and humbled to be a part of this community. cc.viIlageofbayfield.com/Members/Bayfield Breeze/Week271ssue31 3/tabid/731 /Default. aspx 9/14 6/13/2019 Week 27 Issue 313 Marsha Faubert, Jennifer Allan, Pat McDougall, Nathalie Vermue and Hope Brock.

Yes folks, there is a large patch of Giant Hogweed growing to the east of the Bayfield Bridge where canoeists, fishermen and hikers often pass by on their way to the river. Please use extreme caution when in this area and better yet avoid it. The curious can see the white flowering plants quite plainly from the bridge and Photographer Jack Pal and Don Vance were brave enough to document its location in pictures for us and give us a reference as to just how large it grows. An ornamental plant originally from southwest Asia it is naturalizing in North America and becoming more common in southern and central Ontario. There are a number of plants that look very similar to Giant hogweed such as Cow Parsnip, Purplestem Angelica, Woodland Angelica, Valerian, Lovage, and Queen Anne's -Lace, also known as Wild Carrot. However, these plants are not as large as a mature Giant Hogweed, which grows up to 5.5 Ms tall under ideal conditions. The white flower clusters resemble those of Queen Anne's -Lace, but tend to be more widely spaced and can form a flower almost 1 M wide. Giant Hogweed as seen from the Bayfield Bridge. (Photos by Jack Pal) Two years ago a good friend of our family had a close encounter with the plant while helping a friend clean up an empty lot. He was wearing a t -shirt and shorts along with protective gloves for cleaning brush. He wasn't aware that it was Giant Hogweed he was handling, as it hadn't grown to full height. He was very badly burned on his arms and legs and will have the scars to prove it for many years to come. Luckily he did not touch his face or eyes! The clear watery sap of Giant Hogweed contains toxins that can cause severe inflammation of the skin. People can be severely burned if they get the sap on their skin and the skin is then exposed to sunlight. Symptoms occur within 48 hours and consist of painful blisters. Purplish scars may form that last for many years. According to the Ontario Invading Species Awareness Program website, evidence of permanent blindness linked to exposure to Giant Hogweed cannot be substantiated by any existing research but media outlets and various websites note that eye contact with the sap has been reported to cause temporary or permanent blindness. I ask you why would anyone want to test out those theories? Just stay away from it! Bayfield Ward Councilor Bill Whetstone has alerted the county regarding the growing patch of the plant and is hopeful that something will be done to remove it. The plant flowers from May to July and as it may be passed the point of maturity to eradicate it through spraying county employees dressed in special protective clothing may have to dig it out. We'll attempt to keep you posted. — Melody Don Vance poses near the plant to show its size. cc.viIlageofbayfield.com/Members/Bayfield Breeze/Week271ssue3l 3/tabid/731 /Default. aspx 12/14 6/13/2019 Giant Hogweed.
