Enjoy a beautiful family oriented walk in the woods
along the Bayfield River and share the spirit of
Christmas on the Sawmill Trail on the afternoon of
Nov. 15.
Starting at 1 p.m., members of the Bayfield River
Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) will be hosting a
stroll on one of Bayfield's most popular nature paths.
After completing the hike at the Bender Family
viewing deck, children will be invited to create their
own custom tree ornament by slathering a pinecone
with peanut butter and birdseed. These cones will be
hung on nearby trees so that the birds that haven't
headed south and other small animals can enjoy
their own holiday celebration.
To make this annual seasonal event even more
special, hike participants are asked to bring non-
perishable canned food for the local Feed My Sheep
(Bayfield Foodbank).

Adam Robinson, Huron County paramedic, displays the information card for the "Cool Aid" program.
(Submitted photo)
During a medical emergency, every second counts. That's why Huron County EMS is
distributing information cards to residents that will help paramedics provide vital care in the
early moments of an emergency.
"When medical emergencies take place at home, patients aren't always able to relay their
medical information to the responding paramedics," said Jeff Horseman, acting chief of
Emergency Services. "This simple, low-tech solution keeps a person's critical health
information in one place and has shown to help paramedics provide care when arriving to a
person's home."
The card is designed to host health information including an individual's drug prescription and
dosage, known allergies, medical history and the phone numbers of their emergency contacts.
Each person writes his/her own health information on the card and attaches it to the fridge
using a magnet on the back cover. This way, paramedics always know where to look for it.
"We call it the 'Cool Aid' program to remind people that the card is meant to be stored on the
fridge at home," said Huron County Paramedic Adam Robinson. "The card's front cover flips
closed so personal information isn't displayed to guests of the home."
Huron County EMS encourages anyone living in our communities with a pre-existing medical
issue, including those taking prescription drugs, to fill out and keep one of these cards on their
fridge at home. Residents can pick up the 'Cool Aid' cards from any pharmacy operating in
Huron County.

CITIZEN AWARD
Huron -Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson would like to

Citizen Award is less than a month away on Nov.
20th.

offices. Nominations must include the name of the
nominee, a photo, and a 250- word submission that
highlights why the individual is deserving of

"It is hard to find anyone in Huron -Bruce that has not
felt the impact of a selfless community leader or
volunteer," said Thompson, "I look forward to reading
the stories of more outstanding citizens in the coming
weeks".
The award is presented annually to people who have
made significant contributions to their communities
and past recipients have included a wide range of
people from chairs of local committees, to church
choir members.

With most windows and doors closed due to the
cooler weather, now is a good time for Huron County
residents to test for radon.
In fact, November is Radon Action Month. Radon is a
colorless, odorless radioactive gas found naturally in
the environment. Long-term exposure to radon is the
second -leading cause of lung cancer in Canada.
According to Health Canada, 11 per cent of randomly
tested homes in Huron County tested above the
Canadian Radon guideline in 2012.
"The only way to know the radon level in your home
is to test for it," says Public Health Inspector Chris
Boyes. "Fortunately, it's not difficult or expensive to
test for radon. Taking measures to reduce radon from
your home could greatly benefit your health."
Radon test kits are available for purchase at most
major hardware stores. Health Canada recommends
homeowners do a long-term radon test, for a
minimum of three months, during the fall or winter
months. The detector should be placed in the lowest

SHORELINE RESIDENTS INVITED TO
TAKE PART IN ONLINE SURVEY
Shoreline residents and other interested people are showing an interest in shoreline
management issues by taking part in an electronic survey and subscribing to a newsletter
about the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) Shoreline Management Plan
Update.
ABCA staff note that they are at the start of a Plan Update process that will take more than a
year to complete.
No drafts or recommendations have been prepared yet and technical work will not be ready for
public comment until 2016, said ABCA Water and Planning Manager, Alec Scott. He added
public open houses have not taken place yet and are to be held in the summer of 2016 so all
residents, including seasonal residents, are able to attend. Staff members expect technical
work to be ready by summer of next year so the public will have the latest mapping and
shoreline information to review at that time.
An electronic survey is one of the first opportunities available for people to provide input about
shoreline issues of concern to them. Local people have already started to respond to the
survey and to subscribe to a free electronic newsletter with updates about the project.
"We are very pleased with the high level of public interest that has been shown already," said
Scott.
He said the Steering Committee and the ABCA are in the very early stages of updating
technical work about the shoreline and identifying shoreline issues as provided by the public.
"We want all seasonal residents, shoreline residents, and other interested people to have the
opportunity to attend open houses so that's why the Steering Committee has decided to hold
those public meetings next summer," he said. "We also want to make sure we will have
updated information ready about the issues and the state of the shoreline so local residents
have current and meaningful information to review as they provide comments."
The online survey is available at this link: www.surveymonkey.com/r/Shoreline-Management-
Plan-Update. The survey is to be open until Feb. 1, 2016. This is one of the first of many
opportunities for the public to be involved over the coming year.
The conservation authority is also releasing the first of several free electronic newsletters about
the Plan Update to keep people informed about opportunities to be involved over the coming
year. The newsletter is to be available on the shoreline management web page. You may

People may find out about the Plan update by visiting the shoreline management plan web
page at www.abca.on.ca/page.php?page=shoreline-management. The page includes answers
to a list of frequently asked questions. It also includes the link to the survey.
The first ABCA Shoreline Management Plan was completed in 1994 and it was last updated in
2000. The updated Shoreline Management Plan should be completed by late 2016. A local
Steering Committee and consulting team are now working with the conservation authority and
area stakeholders to guide the update over the next year. The Steering Committee includes
local people with an interest in shoreline issues, representing seasonal and shoreline
residents, industry, neighboring conservation authorities, the counties of Lambton and Huron,
and representatives of the four -shoreline municipalities in Ausable Bayfield watersheds. All
meetings of the Steering Committee are open to the public and anyone with an interest is
invited to attend. Fifteen minutes are to be set aside at the end of each Steering Committee
meeting to allow members of the public to ask questions, make comments, or present
delegations to the Steering Committee. If you wish to make a presentation to the Steering
Committee, please contact ABCA staff in advance.
Anyone with further questions about the Plan Update is also invited to contact Alec Scott or
Geoff Cade at Ausable Bayfield Conservation at 519 235-2610 or toll-free 1-888-286-2610 or

SUBMISSIONS
A few weeks ago my husband and I enjoyed two weeks exploring the Maritimes. Our first stop on the tour
was the Halifax Citadel where we discovered their totally amazing Army Museum. We ended up spending
the entire day on the grounds immersed in Canada's military history from the first conflicts right through to
today's missions.
We're both military history buffs but as is the case with most couples we have two different approaches.
John likes the hardware of battle — the guns and ammunition. I like learning about the faces behind the
guns — the soldiers and their treasures, the newspaper clippings and correspondence — this to me is the
essence of history.
Melody Falconer -Pounder So within the confines of a military fortress we found
ourselves completely engrossed. The experience has
made celebrating this particular Remembrance Day all that more compelling. Because this year I can
really feel what the day actually stands for both in my mind and in my heart.
I have always appreciated the service and sacrifice of our military men and women but the truth be told
it was probably because I was raised to believe it was the appropriate and respectful thing to do.
Perhaps at times I was a little like the Brownie that told me Sunday's service at the Bayfield Cenotaph
was "boring. All we did was stand there." If it is hard to understand as an adult, how difficult is it for a
seven year-old? How do you tell her about what people sacrificed so she could have the freedom to be
bored?
The visit to the Citadel culminated with a walk in the trenches. A new exhibit still being built — it is a
replica trench that is only missing the mud and the rats and the gas — you are free to imagine those. But
the soldiers are there ready to tell their stories. Shivers ran up my spine when I realized a young man
was quietly following me as I made my way along the trench system. He made his time in the trenches
come to life for me with his tales.
And that is why, today - Nov. 11, 2015 - I will drop whatever I am doing at 11 a.m. and remember them.
I invite you to do the same. — Melody
