GARDENERS TO TAKE BOTANICAL
ADVENTURE THROUGH PHOTOS

Spring is in the air and gardeners are looking forward to sunnier days and the exciting changes
ahead for the warmer seasons.
Everyone is invited to attend the first meeting of the Bayfield Garden Club to be held on Apr
18, starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Bayfield Lions' Community Building.
The speakers for the evening are Leigh and Jerry Selk, members of the community who are
both world travelers and enthusiastic gardeners. Their presentation will take us on a botanical
adventure through photos of their recent trip to the magnificent Singapore Botanic Gardens an
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Singapore Botanic Gardens is one of only three UNESCO Heritage Site gardens in the world
and is the only tropical botanic garden in the company of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew,
England and Padua Gardens in Italy.
Singapore Botanic Gardens had its beginning in 1859 as a British tropical colonial botanic
garden. This photographic journey lets us visualize the transition from the original British
colonial landscape as it has progressed to a modern day world class botanic garden which has
historical landscape features and a scientific facility which combines conservation, recreation
and education. Anyone interested in travel, horticulture or tropical travel are invited to join in
this photographic journey.

CELEBRATE EARTH DAY WITH A
LITTER WALK AND A FILM
The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) invites the community to celebrate Earth
Day on Apr. 22 with two special Earth Day events that focus on both local and global
environmental concerns.
The Second Annual Earth Day Litter Walk will begin at 1 p.m. at Clan Gregor Square in
Bayfield. Walkers can check in with organizers at the pavilion, where they will choose their own
route or area and be given bags to collect garbage and recycling as they walk. Filled bags
should be returned to the park. The garbage will be picked up there for disposal by the
municipality.
Last year over 50 volunteers participated in gathering up litter from streets and public lands
throughout Bayfield. Those wishing to participate should dress for the weather and wear their
own work gloves. They can sign up to collect garbage anytime between 1-4 p.m.
The concert will be held at the Kingsbridge Centre in
Kingsbridge starting at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $10 at the door. For more information
please call Sharon Johnston at 519 524-1865.
Jennifer Pate, of Windmill Lake Wake and Eco Park,
will be the guest speaker at the Bayfield Farmers'
Market Annual General Meeting on Apr. 20 at the
Bayfield Town Hall.
The business portion of the meeting will begin at 7:15
p.m. followed by Pate's talk, "Greening Our Market" a
presentation on environmentally friendly packaging
options beginning at 8 p.m.
The Bayfield Farmers' Market Board of Directors is
now seeking community representatives. This is not
an onerous commitment and no experience is
necessary. People who have in interest in seeing the
market flourish and who are available to attend two
or three meetings yearly are being sought Please
contact Market Coordinator Mary Brown at
bayfieldfarmersmarket@gmail.com if interested.
The first market of the season will be held in Clan
Gregor Square at the start of the Victoria Day
Weekend, Friday, May 20 and conclude on
Thanksgiving Weekend, Friday, Oct 7. The market
will be held from 3-7 p.m.
Shop Bike Coffee Roasters, 11 Main Street N. in Bayfield, is proudly sponsoring the Earth Day
Litter Walk by donating 50 cents from every cup of coffee or tea sold during the entire day to
the BRVTA.
And then later that same evening, the BRVTA is hosting a special screening of the
documentary "This Changes Everything".
This game changing and provocative film by Avi Lewis premiered at the 2015 Toronto
International Film Festival and is based on the critically acclaimed best seller by award-winning
journalist Naomi Klein. She changed the global conversation on climate change by asking the
question, "What if confronting the climate crisis is the best chance we'll ever get to build a
better world?"
The film recently aired on CBC. It was shot in nine countries over four years, and presents
seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines of both fossil fuel extraction and the
climate crisis it is driving. Going beyond simply exposing and criticizing this looming global
crisis, Lewis and Klein propose a call to action for a new future. Their hope is that through
community viewings of the film, the public will become engaged in conversation and dialogue
about the crucial issue.
The film builds to a controversial and exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of
climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better.
Whether you agree with their proposal or not, the film promises to be a thought provoking and
controversial conversation starter for Earth Day.
OWL PROWL
Families are invited to take an exciting moonlit,
guided hike on Apr. 23 at 8 p.m. and learn about owls

founder of modern nursing, and less well known for
midwifery education, but she also left a broader
unsung legacy as an environmentalist, social
scientist, reformer, feminist, statistician and general
force of nature.
Guest Speaker McDonald may be considered a force
of nature in her own right. She has written the
definitive 16 vol. "Collective Works of Florence
Nightingale" and is a recipient of "The Order of
Canada". As a former MP, McDonald introduced the
bill leading to banning smoking in public places and
to regulation of tobacco advertising. Co-founder of
"Just Earth" a coalition for Environmental Justice she
continues her activities for truth, justice and the
Canadian way.
The evening will begin at 7 p.m. and is free although
donations would be appreciated.

a row for their annual Rubber Duck Race to be held

will win prizes. First prize is a stainless steel
barbecue valued at $400 and donated by a Friend of
Optimists. Second prize is a Norco BMX Bike
donated by Outside Projects and a friend of
Optimism. It is also valued at $400. Third prize is an
overnight at The Albion Hotel including breakfast.

prize is valued at $200. Fourth prize is a gift
certificate for Michael's Pharmasave worth $150 and
donated by Michael and Nevien Ibrahim. Fifth prize is
a handcrafted stone birdhouse created and donated

HURON COUNTY MUSEUM
STORIES OF REFUGEES AND MIGRANTS THAT CALLED HURON
COUNTY HOME
Kaushik Patel & Family - Courtesy of Patel Family
Whether it was settlers from Great Britain in the
nineteenth century, Dutch immigrants after the
Second World War, or more recent refugees and
immigrants, the migration of people in and out of
Huron County has brought great changes to the
landscape and culture of the county. The Huron
County Museum's newest exhibit features the
stories of seven people who moved to make
Huron County their home.
Beginning with the story of Agnes Mcllwain, a
newly married step -mother to six moving from
Ireland in 1840 to Goderich Township with a new
baby on the way; the exhibit traces each person's
life as they arrive in Huron County, make their
home and leave their mark. Also included is the

MAIN ST. /r'lT%{�'t.- EXETER.
Margaretha & John Becker - Courtesy of Becker family descendants
Bernard Brown - Courtesy Barnardo's Children's Charitie
story of Margaretha Keller -Becker, a young
German woman immigrating in 1865 to Hay
Township. She lived through two world wars and
numerous changes to the county, raised 10
children, and passed away in 1942 as one of the
district's oldest residents.
Not all immigrants came by choice. Bernard
Brown was only 10 years old when he came to
Tuckersmith Township as a Barnardo's Home
Child. Emigration separated Bernard and his
younger brother Edward from their mother and
sisters in Northern Ireland. A decade after he
arrived in Canada, Bernard returned to the United
Kingdom with the 161st Huron Battalion as a
soldier in the First World War. Due to World War
II, Victor Kadonaga came later to Huron County
as a young Japanese -Canadian man forcibly
evacuated from British Columbia in 1942. In 1946
he came to live on the farm of Ernest and Irene
Townshend on the Cut Line near Holmesville
through church sponsorship and was able to finish
his schooling before moving again.
Still others saw Huron County as part of a land of
opportunity. Bakke de Haan was only a six year-
old girl when she and her family emigrated from
the Netherlands in 1948 to East Wawanosh.
Knowing no English, young Bakke sometimes
found life in Canada strange and puzzling, but she
soon adjusted and thrived. Her memoirs have
been recorded in her book Our Land of Milk and
Honey.
Living still in Goderich today, Ernst and Pauline
Tafeit grew up in times of scarcity and hardship in
Nazi -occupied Austria. The couple had only been
married six months when they immigrated to
Canada in the winter of 1951. In Goderich, they
soon partnered with two other recent immigrants
to found their own manufacturing business,
Akromold Ltd.
And finally, the most recent immigrant featured in
the Museum's exhibit is Kaushik Patel who as a
boy had dreamed of Canada while at school in
India. Originally from a farm family, Kaushik was
looking to run his own business and return to life
in a rural community when he and his family took
over Charlie's Variety store and settled in Clinton
in 2007.
The stories featured in this exhibit are only a small
selection of the journeys that have shaped and
continue to transform Huron County as new
neighbors arrive to this day and illustrate the
strength and diversity of residents.
The special exhibit is open to the public during
museum hours until Oct. 15. Regular admission
rates apply. Groups and tours welcome. Visit the
Huron County Museum to see and learn more
about these individuals, and to leave your
immigration story for others to discover.

There is a "'Meme floating around the Internet that never fails to make me pause, it is a note to a child, "Never make fun of
having to help me with computer stuff. I taught you how to use a spoon."
And it so rings true. I consider myself a fairly adaptable person when it comes to computers. I am always willing to learn new
things but I'm not particularly concerned with shortcuts unless and until some younger person points them out to me when the
situation arises.
Three things happened this week that made me think back to the saying written above.
The first was a conversation with my mother— 30 years my senior. She was commenting how disappointed she was in her
bank for phasing out passbooks. She uses her Debit Card almost exclusively (which is a concept I have yet to grasp, actually)

and is concerned that a bank statement issued every six months isn't going to be an efficient way of keeping track of her spending. I gently suggested that
we could set her up with a banking password and she could go to the library to check her accounts regularly but she was firmly against this idea
suggesting she would probably break the computer.
Earlier this week I attended a meeting regarding village tourism that had at the forefront a conversation on Social Media and using it for promotion. It was
during the group chat that I suddenly realized I don't really have a clear concept of what a hash tag is or #howtousesaidhashtag.
The third technically challenged scenario came from a relative about 20 years my junior who works for a tech business. This relative had recently been
startled by a coworker that requested a document be "Faxed"! Apparently faxing has gone the way of passbooks and writing in complete sentences.
And so the world wobbles on its axis as we do our best to keep up with the generations that come up behind us. Or I suppose we could just revert back to
eating with our fingers. - Melody
P.S. ``Meme (/'mi:m/ MEEM) is an activity, concept, catchphrase or piece of media which spreads, often as mimicry, from person to person via the
Internet.
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m.
