The BRVTA has been actively building and maintaining a network of trails in Bluewater over the past nine years. These trails, built entirely by volunteers, are for public use by local residents and tourists alike thanks to a partnership with Bluewater and the generosity of private landowners. Over the years the BRVTA has contributed much to community improvement through fundraising. Sponsorship of the Terry Fox Run for the past four years has raised over $14,000. An additional $1,000 was raised for the Goderich MRI Imaging project and $1,200 for the Clinton Hospital. In 2013, the Festival of Fitness and Art in Bayfield used the trails to raise in excess of $4,000 for the Goderich Hospital. The trails are free of charge to the public and provide a superb opportunity for families and people of all generations to enjoy the beauty of our area. Organizers hope people will come out for a wonderful evening and support the Bayfield trails and encourage them to get their tickets early!

(Photo by Gary Lloyd -Rees) NOW RECRUITING POTENTIAL NEW The Huron County Health Unit is recruiting new Community Food Advisor (CFA) volunteers. The CFAs are a group of trained volunteers who work with Health Unit staff and community partners to promote healthy eating and food safety to consumers in Huron County. The successful program is in its 20th year in the county. In 2014 alone, the 22 Huron County CFAs reached a total of over 1,500 people through presentations, cooking classes and other educational appearances. "Huron County residents from all walks of life tell us how valuable the CFA program is," said Gail Fraser, CFA volunteer coordinator. "Becoming a CFA is a great volunteer activity for people with an interest in food. You help to improve the health of your community, meet new people, gain more skills and have fun!" The current recruitment is the first recruitment drive in three years. Training is free and will A meeting will be held for Bayfield residents at the Bayfield Community Center on Aug. 12. On Aug. 26, rural residents and members of the Brucefield, Dashwood, Kippen and St. Josephs communities are invited to attend a meeting at the Stanley Complex. A final community -wide public meeting will be held on Sept. 17 also at the Stanley Complex. All of these public meetings will start at 7 p.m. "It's important that Bluewater's new strategic plan reflects the vision, goals, and priorities of not just council and staff, but also the community," said Mayor Tyler Hessel. "Council and I encourage everyone to attend the upcoming meetings and provide their input. This is about our future and everyone's opinion counts." Irwin and Associates, Bluewater's consultants on this initiative, have created a website specific to the strategic planning process (www.bluewatersvoice.com) as well as an email address (ideas@bluewatersvoice.com) for residents to provide written comments. They have also been attending community events and they will be attending more over the summer to capture public input. UNITED CHURCH While most parents strive to raise kids to be responsible and respectful, they are often left wondering how to raise them to be spiritual. Fostering a sense of awe and gratitude can lead to increased awareness of our common humanity and a sense of belonging to the larger cosmos. With busy lives and an increasingly secular society, parents, and grandparents, may be unsure of how to engage children and youth on issues that might have been previously addressed in Sunday School: questions of meaning and purpose in life, concepts of 'the sacred' and learning to think beyond themselves. These challenges and more will be addressed at an evening workshop sponsored by St. Andrew's United Church in Bayfield. It will be held on Aug. 25 from 7- 8:30 p.m. Parents and grandparents are welcome to come and join in some interactive discussion and hopefully take home some helpful tools for fostering spirituality at home. The evenings will be co -lead by Huron -Perth Presbytery Youth Minister Kathy Douglas, and St. Andrew's minister, Rev. Elise Feltrin. Please contact the church for more information 519 565-2854. There is no charge for this event and everyone is welcome to attend either or both of the sessions.

HISTORICAL WALK ALONG SAWMILL TRAIL FEATURES SOME TRUE TALES PHOTOS BY JACK PAL Sunday afternoon Dave Gillians (far left) led a group of hikers on a walk filled with historical tales along the Sawmill Trail. An iconic image along the Sawmill Trail - how long has the swing hung there? Only the tree knows. The walking trails around Bayfield are gaining a reputation for their beauty. On Sunday, Aug. 9, Bayfield's Sawmill Trail was the setting for a moderated historical walk, led by Dave Gillians, the author of the local history book, "For the Love of Bayfield". Since the Sawmill Trail was the original north south path, the first river crossing in this area and the site of the village's grist and sawmill dam, Gillians had a lot of historical tales to share. Throughout the year, the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) hosts frequent organized hikes with their trained hike leaders. The next guided walk will be held on Aug. 27 at 9 a.m. at the George Newton Nature Reserve on Kitchigami Road. This walk is one of the area's lesser-known woodland gems. Carpools will be organized. Following the success of last year's service, the Bayfield Ministerial group has been busy organizing another ecumenical outdoor worship service to take place under the tent in Agriculture Park at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 16. The guest speaker will be Alex Leith, of the Queen's Bush Rural Ministries, a charitable organization that assists local farmers in surviving crisis with dignity. A special offering will be taken to support the work of this organization that provides financial, emotional and spiritual assistance to rural folks who face challenges or difficulties. Local church members may also bring their regular offering envelopes as they will not have their regular church services that day. Local musicians, including a choir and violinist will provide special music. Leadership will include participants from Knox Presbyterian, St. Andrew's United, Church on the Way, Trinity & St. James', Middleton Anglican churches. The whole community is invited to come out and join in worship together as they celebrate with praise and thanksgiving!

In 1985, the event was first organized as the Bayfield Antique Fair and Sale. It was, and remains, a fundraiser for Trinity Anglican Church in Bayfield. Approximately 20 vendors, including five first time exhibitors, brought an impressive collection of antiques and collectibles, big and small, to suit every taste and pocketbook. The arena was filled cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek331ssue3l9/tabid/737/Default.aspx 7/11 6/13/2019 Week 33 Issue 319 Vera Bentley, of Art Vee Collectibles from London, has never missed exhibiting at the Bayfield Antiques Show and Sale in the 30 years the fundraiser for Trinity Anglican Church has been held. She joked that she told her family not to have weddings etc. that weekend because she didn't want to miss the show. At 85 years of age she noted that this was her swan song show as she has a lot of other things she'd still like to do and may be running out of time to fit them all in. The Antique Fair Committee honored her three decades with the show by providing her with complimentary meals at the cafe for the entire weekend. Peter Land, of Land & Ross Antiques in Shakespeare, talked to some visitors to the show on Saturday. with an impressive array of quality antiques and collectibles such as Canadiana, furniture, books, porcelain, silver, estate and costume jewelry and antique toys.

Not for decoration. To type letters on. I said I'd be on the lookout for one at the Bayfield Antique Show and Sale held this past weekend. She said she didn't want an antique. I love my mom dearly, so to the woman who just got a digital camera and a cell phone in the last two years, I had to gently break it to her that all typewriters are considered antiques these days. This has not deterred her so if anyone has a functional, light, portable typewriter stashed away somewhere and they're willing to part with it please send me an email. While at the antique show I did come across a Royal in questionable condition and an Olivetti that still worked but was hardly portable. One of the dealers said he remembers people, himself, included, using old typewriters as anchors. I complimented him on creating his own supply and demand issues. So the search continues. In schooling my mother on the world of antiques karma came back to bite me when I found in a display one of my favorite toddler toys — a cat with blinking eyes made out of a rubbery material given to me by my late father. (A photo of this toy appears in our photo story — mine is identical to the one on the left.) cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week331ssue3l9/tabid/737/Default.aspx 10/11 6/13/2019 Week 33 Issue 319 Now, I ask you, how could one of my childhood toys be considered an antique?
