January is a great month to start a new activity or get
reacquainted with an old favorite. For this reason
folks are invited to lace up their skates and head to
the Bayfield Arena.
Skating is offered free to the public on the afternoon
of Jan. 24 from 1-3 p.m. due to the generosity of
sponsor The Docks Restaurant and Bar.
In addition to public skating on Sundays there is now
more time available for youngsters who love to be
out on the ice. Due to popular demand, ice time is
now being offered on Mondays at 7 p.m. for kids'
pickup hockey. New players are always welcome.
EUCHRE CLUB
The Bayfield Euchre Club winter session of cards
has begun and all are welcome to join in the evening
held at the Bayfield Lion's Community Building on
alternate Wednesdays.
The next evening of cards will be held on Jan. 27
starting at 7 p.m. The cost to play cards is $2.

Fifteen years ago, studies were undertaken to establish a benchmark database of E.coli and
phosphate flows from some Bayfield storm sewers into Lake Huron. Recent studies have
demonstrated that little has changed over the intervening period.
This is a two part series designed to provide understanding of the problem, the evaluation
process and to present alternative solutions. While the outflow of these potentially harmful
contaminates is not regarded as critical, recent and past studies have determined that the
results exceed recommended guidelines.
PART H: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
Perhaps we can learn from Lindsay Ontario's studies of E.coli and phosphate discharges. Their
study resulted in remedial action. Phosphate counts were alarming and generated discussions
on solutions. From the literature they reviewed it was concluded that constructed wetlands
would be the most appropriate way to reduce the amounts of E.coli and phosphorus.
Studies show that "paved areas and turf grass are not very efficient at breaking down wildlife
feces, whereas tall grasses and natural buffers are significantly more efficient. During
conditions of saturation -excess, E. coli is found to be quickly transported across the surface of
saturated soils, and do not have much of an opportunity to unite with the soil." However,
pavement exists and it is not logical to return to gravel roads.
What has worked in eradicating E.coli and phosphorus from storm sewer runoff is the creation
of more natural buffers around outfalls. This is also the most natural way of solving this
problem, and will mitigate other pollutants from entering the lake while having the potential to
be aesthetically pleasing. This technique appeared most often in the literature reviewed and
seemed to have a high success rate at a relatively low cost.
Constructed wetlands are also a cost effective way that has been proven to work. And although
this will not remove all of the E. coli, it will lower the concentration. It is also a natural approach
that requires little follow up work to maintain effectiveness. Bio -retention ponds are very similar
and also an effective method of removing phosphorus and E. coli. A study in North Carolina
showed that E. coli levels were lowered by 71 per cent because of the use of this technique.
Given that Bayfield is isolated from all agricultural production, it is unlikely that the source of
phosphorous is agricultural based. So what might the source be? The answer is not definite but
given that it can't be what we put down the bathroom sink as this discharge, presumably,
enters sanitary sewers, not ditches, it is in all likelihood what we do to our properties.
Testing over many years at outflow sites has demonstrated that phosphates exist in excessive
amounts. If we were to eradicate the problem at the source testing at virtually every corner of
the community would be required. This is not viable from either a financial or from a practical

SATURDAYS AT THE
LIBRARY
Friends of the Bayfield Library (FOBL) are once
again offering up their "Saturdays at the Library"
series starting with a morning with local wine
aficionado Richard Fitoussi at the Bayfield Public
Library.
Fitoussi, who has long been associated with the
hospitality industry and is a consultant on the
development of wines in Huron County, will provide
an informative presentation on evaluating wines and
how to pair them suitably with cheese at the library
on Jan. 23. The session will run from 10:30 to noon.
HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) will hold their
Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Dinner, catered
by the United Church Women, on Jan. 25 at noon at
St. Andrew's United Church.
Author Barbara Brown, of Bayfield, will be the guest
speaker at this event. The fact that artists have been
attracted to the village for generations was the
inspiration behind the book, "Reflections of Bayfield"
created by Brown and fellow author Joyce Lambert.
Brown and Lambert assembled a collection of art, in
several genres, that otherwise would never be
available for the public to enjoy as they were in
private collections. Brown will share their
experiences in assembling and producing this book
at the AGM.
All are welcome to attend this event. Tickets are
available now for $20 and may be obtained by calling
Pat or Bud Langley at 519 565-2894.
CABARET NIGHT
"Bayfield at the Oscars" is the theme of the Bayfield
Town Hall's fifth annual cabaret to be held on Feb. 12-
13.
The movie theme should provide attendees with a
great evening of fun and frolic. Seating is cabaret
style and there will be a cash bar at this fundraiser.
The curtain will rise at 7:30 p.m. both evenings.
Those who wish to attend are advised to get their
tickets early, as the cabarets are always a sell out
with only 90 seats available for each night.
Tickets are available now for $20 per person. Please
contact Pat Lewington at 519 565-2202 or Margo
Robeson at 519 565-2827, to reserve tickets early.

perspective. What we can do as a community is establish processes that minimize phosphate
and E.coli content from our storm water.
And there are tried and true ideas that could work for Bayfield. A few examples are outlined
below:
Stormwater Planters: A stormwater planter is a specialized planter
installed in the sidewalk area that is designed to manage street and
sidewalk runoff. It is normally rectangular, with four concrete sides
"'- providing structure and curbs for the planter. The planter is lined with
a permeable fabric, filled with gravel or stone, and topped off with
soil, plants, and sometimes trees. The top of the soil in the planter is lower in elevation than the
sidewalk or roadway, allowing for runoff to flow into the planter through an inlet at street level.
These planters manage stormwater by providing storage, infiltration, and evapotranspiration of
runoff.
Rain Gardens: A rain garden can mimic the natural absorption and pollutant removal activities
of a forest, a meadow or a prairie and can absorb runoff more efficiently, sometimes as much
as 30 to 40 per cent more then a standard lawn. By capturing rainwater from your roof,
driveway and sidewalks in a rain garden, water can slowly soak into the ground reducing the
rush of a large storm — quickly, neatly and naturally. Other benefits include the fact that these
gardens look great while filtering contaminants and preventing quantities of clean water from
going into the sewer system.
Because rain gardens are dug 4" to 8" deep, and in some cases V- 2' deep, they hold larger
quantities of rainwater making their overall construction more cost efficient then other green -
alternatives. Rain gardens also need less technical experience to install and can be installed
without permits or heavy equipment.
Bioswale/Hybrid Ditch: Bayfield's storm sewers are, for
the most part, ditches that run along both sides of our
streets. They quickly collect run off from roads and paved
driveways. The good news is that abundance provides us
with an opportunity. Development along the coastline limits
our ability to use wetlands at storm sewage outflow points
along the lake to capture and treat E.coli, phosphates and
nitrates.
However, Bioswales are linear, vegetated ditches which
allow for the collection, conveyance, filtration and infiltration
of stormwater. These ditches could be planted with native
species that are capable of absorbing and treating water
naturally. In addition to cleansing water, these plants provide
homes for a variety of birds, frogs and interesting insects. Plants would mitigate the problem of
standing water that can be home to mosquitoes.
This project would require homeowners and the municipality to accept growth in ditches as
positive steps forward in protecting our lake.
Permeable Surfaces: Heavy rains and melting snow produce fast moving water. When water
flows over earth's surface, at least a portion of it is absorbed and filtered by the soil. Paved
roads and driveways exacerbate the problem of water runoff. Gravel or brick surfaces
interspersed with earth provide an opportunity for water to penetrate into the soil and be ridded
of unwanted ingredients picked up from the earth's surface.
Trees and More Trees: A fully -grown tree may lose up to 90 per cent of stored water through
its leave on a hot, dry day. Depending on the species this could be the equivalent of 40,000
litres. The ten per cent that remains keeps the living tree system healthy and maintains growth.
The elimination of trees adds to flow of water directly into our watercourses. Trees also
moderate the rainfall so that water drips into the soil. Trees are themselves a natural filter and
utilize phosphates for growth.
Lawns: North Americans are passionate about lawns. What makes a lawn grow? However,
phosphates, nitrates and potash are what make a lawn grow. And those chemicals end up in
our lake. Perhaps we should look at our lawn as ground cover and accept what grows
naturally. It can be very attractive. It is also healthier for people, pets and the environment. It
Member of Parliament for Huron -Bruce, Ben Lobb,
today encouraged employers to apply for funding
through the Canada Summer Jobs program to help
create student jobs.
Canada Summer Jobs helps students gain the skills
and experience they need to be successful, while
earning money for the upcoming school year. The
program also supports local community priorities
such as agriculture, infrastructure and arts and
culture through the hiring of students.
Funding will be available to not-for-profit
organizations, public -sector employers and private
sector employers. Young people aged 15 to 30 years
who are full-time students and intend to return to
school in the following school year can qualify for
these job opportunities.
Employers can apply online at
www.servicecanada.gc.ca/csj or print an application
from the website. They can also get an application by
visiting any Service Canada Centre. Applications
must be submitted between now and Feb. 26.
To help employers complete their application, the

also saves water and money. According to a past study by the Ministry of Natural Resources, it
is estimated that 50 per cent of the water treated in Grand Bend is applied to lawns.
So What's Next? Collectively and as individuals we can do our part to improve the quality of
water flowing into our lake and river not only for the good of the local economy but for our own
enduring health and pleasure.
In addition to the Blue Community Project (with 37 member groups) and the Water Monitoring
Team, the Bayfield Ratepayers' Association, Bayfield Tree Project, the Erb Family Foundation
and the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association have committed themselves to protecting our
waters and have taken action.

make a snowman.
Dave MacKechnie and his children stand proudly with their snowman that was later voted as the best of the
day on the Bayfield, Ontario Facebook page by local snow sculpture connoisseurs.
Early on the morning of Jan. 12 the call went out on social media for those that could make it to
Clan Gregor Square safely to come the park at 1 p.m. and participate in a snowman -making
contest to celebrate the first real snow day of 2016.
The Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce invited local vendors to enjoy in the fun and
they did so in some very inventive ways. Brandon's Hardware provided maple syrup flavored
snow cones, Shop Bike Coffee offered builders free hot chocolate, Outside Projects brought
snow shoes of all sizes to the park for people to test out and The Albion Hotel extended their
hospitality to anyone who needed to use the washroom.
Now the snow might not have been the perfect variety for making snowmen but several people
entered the contest and there were some tremendous looking creations. A winner was
determined via online voting at the "Bayfield Ontario" Facebook page with the creation made
by Dave Mackechnie and his two children earning first place. McCabe Promotional donated the
prize, an Adidas backpack — the perfect thing to carry coal, carrots and a corncob pipe in!
"I'm thrilled we were able to secure a powerhouse
like Ron," said Brenda Orchard, CAO of Huron
County. "His extensive experience in economic
development projects all across North America will
offer tremendous benefits to Huron County."
In addition to more than twenty years of proven
leadership in community economic development,
Gaudet holds a Fellowship in Economic
Development from the University of Waterloo and the
Economic Developers Association of Canada, a
bachelor's degree in economics and a bachelor's of
education. An advisor to the county for nearly two
years, his expertise has guided the process of
redefining the purpose, mandate, and approach of
economic development in Huron County.
"Ron's strategic vision and his ability to get things
done makes him a perfect fit for this job," said Jim
Lynn, chair of the Huron County Economic
Development Board. "I know that the entire Board
and I look forward to continuing to work with Ron as
we enter the exciting next phase of our strategic
plan."
Building on the momentum generated over the past
year, the director position will oversee the
implementation of the new Huron County Economic
Development Strategy. The plan will operate under
three guiding principles: develop targeted
opportunities; align with municipal government
efforts; and engage a broader group of stakeholders.
The Huron County Economic Development Board,
which represents an innovative private -public
partnership, has approved of the strategy and looks
forward to reporting on progress over the coming
year.

This trio of snow people took second place in an
online vote following the impromptu park event.
Maitland and Dawson Roy, Denver Fisher and Brennan Erb went with a cookie themed snowman
"Project Rural" to begin a major program of research
and outreach in rural ridings.
The full details of the task force's composition and
mandate are still being finalized, but work will begin
almost immediately. The task force will be
established under the Liberal Party of Canada
(Ontario) and will begin its work in rural ridings
across the province.
At the outset, the goal of "Project Rural" is to design
a program of outreach in federal ridings across
Ontario that are predominantly rural. A first step will
be to consult with former Liberal candidates, their
campaign teams and electoral district associations
from ridings with a significant rural presence.
But equally important, the task force will engage
directly with communities in ridings that are
predominantly rural or have a significant rural
presence. Project Rural will also conduct research
into key rural issues and will tap into existing work on
rural issues and concerns.
Project Rural recognizes the need for the federal
Liberal party to engage directly on key issues that
resonate with rural voters, to establish best practices
for campaigning in a rural context and to begin the
process now of devising a rural campaign strategy
and platform planks for 2019.
"We must be regarded as a party and government
that has something to say to rural voters. And having
something to say starts with listening," said
Thompson. "I think the federal Liberal party can work
harder to connect with people who live in rural
communities."
As the Liberal candidate in Huron -Bruce in last year's
election, Thompson ran on a theme of providing a
strong rural voice. He and his supporters moved the
Liberal party from a distant third in 2011 to a very
competitive second -place finish in the October 19th
election. And Thompson's experience mirrored that
of many other candidates in ridings with a significant
rural component.
Alongside MP Kim Rudd (Northumberland -
Peterborough South), Thompson was asked to lead
a panel on "the rural campaign" at the LPC(0)
Executive Board meeting held in Ottawa in early
December. To prepare for that session, he was in
touch with candidates in a number of predominantly
rural ridings and conducted an informal survey about
lessons learned from the 2015 campaign. A central
finding of that survey was that there is a need to start
now re -connecting with rural candidates and their
communities and to build a major program of
outreach in rural ridings.
Thompson was born and raised on a farm in Bruce
county and is now a journalism professor at Carleton
University. Based on his experience as a candidate,
he took the initiative to propose to the Liberal party
that it set up the Project Rural task force. Liberal

Brandon's Hardware served up some of the very tasty Albert and Doris Schilbe maple syrup on the fresh fallen
snow for those who came to Clan Gregor Square for the Snow Day events on Jan. 12.
The snow that fell in the storm last week perhaps wasn't of the packing
variety but all who came to make snowmen in the park did there best to
be creative. This one could be titled, "Masked Snowman Resting".

chairing the initiative.

So winter has finally arrived. I know of folks who have been shoveling out from at least two feet of snow not too far from here
while we who live in the Bayfield Bubble (my own unofficial term for this meteorological phenomenon) remain mostly unscathed
— I can still see grass poking through in our backyard.
But this lack of snow doesn't prevent me from being glued to the Exeter Radar, the road closure and school cancellation
websites and the hourly Weather Network postings for Bayfield. It is kind of a winter hobby. So you can imagine my excitement

when I read an article about www.trackmyplow.com. If you haven't seen it yet you should check it out. It posts on a map where
the snowplows are in the area — the direction they are traveling in and the time they were last in that area. Too cool! Now in its
second year of testing it is another tool to help people travel safely in the winter months when the roads are open. — Melody
