Virtual High School is thrilled to announce the launch of its new initiative, Virtual High School:
Weekly Edition (VHS: Weekly Edition), a collaborative project among VHS, Desire2Learn (D2L)
and The Globe and Mail.
VHS will produce a free lesson of the week to be promoted by the The Globe and Mail and
inspired by current or past articles. These lessons will be written and designed by the VHS
team as a way of providing supplemental content for learners who wish to develop an
understanding of how the everyday world relates to their various areas of study. These lessons
provide access to curriculum -aligned content that is engaging, interesting, and continuously
available for free.

"Huron is home to some of Ontario's most productive land with large livestock and cash -crop
sectors," Parker wrote in the London Free Press late in February.
Higher commodity prices and low interest rates have given farmers their big increases in land
value, he explained.
In 2011, Huron had 2,467 farmers with 258 living in Bluewater. The average age of farm
operators in 2011 was 52.1 years old.
Murray Wales, a director of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and an Elgin County cash
crop farmer told The London Free Press often when farms are sold it's bigger farmers buying
smaller ones.
Five years ago Huron had 458 farms with 400 acres or more. MPAC expects that number will
be higher as well as the price per acre.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB TO CAPTURE
IMAGES FROM MUNRO STORIES
The Alice Munro Festival of the Short Story is excited to be hosting a new joint project between
the Huron County Library and the Photography Club of Bayfield (PCoB) that will combine the
words of Alice Munro stories with photo images of Huron County.
Huron County Library book clubs will be reading a selection of Alice Munro stories over the
next month in order to pull quotes from the stories that are visually descriptive of the places
and landscapes of Huron County. The list of quotes will then be circulated to members of the
PCoB who will have the opportunity to either shoot new photographs based on the quotes or
match them to existing images from their inventory of Huron County photos.
"We have amazing book clubs in our communities throughout the county," said Jenni Boles,
Branch Services Librarian for Huron County Library. "It is exciting that these groups have an
opportunity to use their love of books and reading to help creatively celebrate this local, Nobel
Prize winning author."
"Members of the Photography Club of Bayfield are excited about the opportunity to contribute
their images to a new creative event in the county," said Marty Bond, of the PCoB.
A jury of representatives from Huron County Library, PCoB and Alice Munro Festival of the
Short Story will select the images that will be framed and exhibited during the 2016 Alice
Munro Festival of the Short Story taking place June 2-5. Following the Festival, photos from the
"Alice Munro Country" exhibit will be displayed in library branches across Huron County.
The photography exhibit will open on June 3 in Wingham as part of the opening reception of
the 2016 Alice Munro Festival of the Short Story. This year's Festival program will be
announced soon and, along with a full line-up of author presentations and writing workshops,
will also include a half-day landscape photography workshop on "Photographing Alice Munro
Country' with Don Martel.
Fans of Alice Munro's work and members of the public are invited to participate as well.
Anyone interested in being part of this exciting project is asked to submit found quotes to their
local library branch by Apr. 1.

Week 14 issue 352
The Conservationist of the Year Award was presented to Lambton Shores Phragmites Community Group
(LSPCG), an enthusiastic, dedicated group of citizens in the Port Franks area. This group was formed in 2011
to address the invasion and spread of Phragmites australis (European Common Reed) in Lambton Shores. The
Conservationist of the Year Award prize includes a limited -edition conservation print of the Latornell Tree, by
Bonna Rouse, one of 310 made for a special edition by Conservation Ontario. Ausable Bayfield Conservation
will also make a donation towards a tree and plaque at a Commemorative Woods site in the watershed. Shown

The winner of the Conservationist of the Year Award is Lambton Shores Phragmites
Community Group (LSPCG). Ausable Bayfield Conservation announced the winner and
presented the award at the annual conservation awards evening held at Ironwood Golf Club,
east of Exeter, on March 17.
Close to 80 people attended the event, including landowners, residents, and community group
members; dignitaries; ministry and conservation authority staff; municipal representatives and
others.
Guest speaker Janette Anderson, Great Lakes program coordinator, Environment and Climate
Change Canada, presented on the topic, "Collaboration Works: Lessons Learned from Global
Review of Coastal Management".
Six members of the LSPCG were present at the event to accept the Conservationist of the
Year Award.
"We are really pleased to receive this recognition," said Nancy Vidler, LSPCG chair.
Cottage associations and community members came together several years ago when they
identified invasive Phragmites australis (European Common Reed) on the beach in Port
Franks, she said. The group had success managing the plant on the beach but members
realized this problem affected a larger area and needed a concerted effort if they were going to
keep the invasive plant in check.
"We looked around at the landscape and the big picture and we thought 'No way, we can't quit
... if we quit it's going to come back with a vengeance' and, not only that, it was destroying the
rich natural heritage we have in Lambton Shores and the watershed," said Vidler.
The growth of the community group's work, much like the plant, 'just took off."
"We feel really proud of the things we have accomplished," she said, in accepting the award on
behalf of the group. "Thank you so much for this recognition," said Vidler. "it will keep us
going."
Also present at the awards evening was Dr. Janice Gilbert, of the Ontario Phragmites Working
Group.
The awards evening program described the community group as formed by "an enthusiastic,
dedicated group of citizens in the Port Franks area." The community group received the award
prize of a limited -edition conservation print of the Latornell Tree, by Bonna Rouse, one of 310
made for a special edition by Conservation Ontario. Ausable Bayfield Conservation will also
make a donation towards a tree and plaque at a local Commemorative Woods site.

ART ASSOCIATION
Bayfield has many creative people living here both
full and part time. Many have studios built into their
homes or on their property. But wouldn't it be great if
there was an association, of sorts, where they could
share insights, studios, lesson's learned, materials as
well as invite instructors, host workshops, supply or
sell materials and help motivate each other?
"If you are among the interested, I am prepared to
host a gathering of the like-minded for an exploratory
conversation to pursue this idea. I will endeavor to
gather us together in early spring, " said Leslee

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Huron County Historical Society (HCHS) is
hosting a bus tour, "Trek to Guelph — Gateway to the
Huron Tract" on May 14.
The trek by bus is being organized by the HCHS and
will travel the Huron Road back to Guelph. Bayfield
Archivist Ralph Laviolette is putting together a
running commentary booklet for the event. He is
doing this from research contained in the Bayfield
Archives about the Huron Tract and the development
of Huron and Perth Counties.
"A group of Guelph volunteer walking -tour guides
visited Huron County by bus last year," said
Laviolette. "This trek by bus returns the trip looking at
historical cairns and points of interest along the
Huron Road through Huron and Perth Counties to
Guelph where John Galt set up headquarters when
he began the development of the 1 -million acres of
Canada Company lands that became the Huron
Tract. Van Tuyll bought the Bayfield town site from
the Canada Company."

staff that it probably isn't Canadian but fun to share
all the same.
Local archivist, Ralph Laviolette, agreed that this
image is not from Bayfield, ON as he has never seen
a postcard similar to it in anyone's collection.
In addition, a regular reader and postcard collector
agreed that it is probably from Bayfield, Wisconsin
not only owing to the tag line on the card but also
because this American town produced considerably
more post cards than Bayfield, ON ever has.

In Issue 352, in anticipation of spring sports time we
highlight a photo of the Bayfield Babes baseball
team from the late seventies. Does anyone
recognize the players?
A subscriber has suggested the following to identify
those Bayfield Babes pictured. She is not a 100 per
cent positive on everyone and is unsure of three of
the women in the front row. Can anyone confirm her
suggestions?

A record-breaking crowd descended on Clan Gregor Square for the annual Easter Egg Hunt organized by the Bayfield Optimist Club.
Optimist Wayne McKaig tossed out chocolate eggs with several youth volunteers, who just a few short years ago
would have been waiting patiently for their turn to collect the eggs.
Parents and youngsters in the under four section tried their best to be patient to wait for the countdown to
finish to start the hunt but it wasn't easy for some toddlers.

A record-breaking crowd emerged to take in the
annual Easter Egg Hunt organized by the Bayfield
Optimist Club on the afternoon of March 27. And
the weather more than likely played a part in
attendance with temperatures reaching a high of
17C and the sun shining down on Clan Gregor
Square.
Optimist members and youth volunteers tossed
out about 5,000 foil -wrapped chocolate eggs and
the youngsters vacuumed them up in short order.
Many children enjoyed greeting with and having
their photo taken with the Easter Bunny who
made a special appearance.
An Easter Basket, including a chocolate bunny
from Culbert's Bakery in Goderich, was raffled off
to help cover the costs of the event. This prize
was won by Dianne Brandon, of Bayfield, much to
the delight of her three grandsons who were in
attendance.
Fifteen minutes after it all began the annual hunt
was over. Happy families left the park with their
children's baskets filled with chocolate delights
and the bunny hopped away...

1 find myself a wee bit under the weather this week and considering the weather we've been having that is no easy feat! So
when this opinion piece came across my desk t knew the perfect place for it — my Submissions section. So while / continue to
sip orange juice and use myriads of tissue 1 share with you here the thoughts of Bayfield's own Geordie Palmer— Melody
During the regular council meeting of March 21, the Bayfield water debenture was introduced to the Council. A decision on
repayment options was delayed to a future meeting.
During the discussions, staff suggested that Council approve Bayfield's Debenture for only 10 years. Other wards have been
provided with a 20 -year debenture term for their "Area Rated" projects.
Why have the Bayfield ratepayers not been given the same option of a 20 -year term? The rational of having a shorter term, by
reducing the interest rate may make for good business sense, but it also may not suit the needs or the affordability of the
person making the payments.
Considering the never-ending upward spiral of the cost of food, energy and taxes, plus the upcoming increase of our water and sewer rates, some
households may be stretched to, or beyond their limit.
During their final deliberations, the Council should consider those on a fixed income, especially pensioners, those on a Disability Allowance, plus young
and growing families. I strongly believe it should be the choice of the property owner, to select what payment term they can afford. - Geordie Palmer
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m.
