TOWN WIDE YARD SALE
Treasure seekers should mark June 4 on their
calendars as the Bayfield and Area Chamber of
Commerce (BACC) is promoting their second Town
Wide Yard Sale and Village Side Walk Sale on that
date.
Residents in the community are encouraged to hold
a yard sale at their home on that date and local
merchants will be offering up some side walk sales
that day as well.
Community groups are also joining in the fun for
bargain hunters to help raise funds for important
area causes. One such group is Bayfield Guiding
and the Camp Klahanie Friends Association. They
will be hosting a yard sale in support of Bayfield
Guiding and Camp Klahanie that weekend in the
yard at 10 Keith Crescent (Trinity Anglican Church).
Step inside the parish hall and even more fun awaits
with a Penny Sale and Silent Auction being held
from June 2-4.
Are you hosting a yard sale on June 4? Share the
location details and times with the Bayfield Breeze!
We will publish a list of locations in our June 1st
issue. Please submit by Sunday, May 29 at 4 p.m. to
be included.

"A special thank you to those who came out for

health and recreation is very much appreciated,"
said Ron Keys, chair of the BACPA. "We were
very excited to have 700 plus in attendance
during the festival. In addition to the many local
people, we also had visitors from such places
as Kitchener, St. Mary's and Michigan in
attendance."
"It is our hope that because of the tremendous
support we receive from our business partners
throughout the year, that they too benefited from
the economic development from the festival,"
Keys added.
Those who paid $40 for a ticket were provided
16 sample tickets for food and drink. Rumor has

This is the first bat to have tested positive for rabies

per centof Ontario's bat population is infected with
rabies (source: Public Health Agency of Canada:
http://www. phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/ccdr-
rmtc/09vol35/acs-dcc-7/index-eng.php). Rabies is a
viral disease that is fatal to humans.
"If you are bitten or scratched by a bat or if infectious
material (such as saliva) from a bat gets into your
eyes, nose, or a wound, wash the affected area
thoroughly and seek medical attention immediately,"
said Public Health Inspector Patrick Landry. "If you
awaken and find a bat in your room or in the room of
an unattended child or an incapacitated person, call
the Health Unit."
When there has been a bite, scratch, or exposure to
infectious material, and the bat is available, the
HCHU can arrange for rabies testing. Do not touch a
bat with your bare hands.
If you find a bat in your home and are certain that
there was no human or animal contact, try to confine
that bat to one room, turn on the lights and open a
window so the bat can fly out.
Bats remain active until cooler weather arrives,
generally beginning to hibernate around November.
Residents with questions or concerns should call the
HCHU at 519 482-3416 or 1-877-837-6143.

Bayfield is a buzz these days as many community
groups have come together to form the Bayfield
Facility Initiative Team (BFIT). The group's focus is
on the possibility of a new community centre.
The Official Launch and first public meeting for "A
centre created for the community by the community!"
will be held on May 28 at 10:30 a.m. in the Bayfield
Community Center.
Bluewater, like many municipalities, does not
consider recreation as a core service. This may
result in the loss of current recreational assets.
Bluewater does not have the capital budget or
reserves for upgrades or replacement of the current
Bayfield community centre. Without a suitable facility,
the current active lifestyle that Bayfield now offers
will be compromised.
Members of Bayfield's community organizations,
prospective facility users, individuals, and
businesses will facilitate the development of the
project. To ensure a sense of ownership and
transparency, the concept will be developed with the
community's input through a series of public
meetings. All possible funding models will be
explored.
A new multi -generational facility in Bayfield will
benefit the community as a whole by providing
educational, social, health and recreational programs
for the enrichment of residents and visitors alike.
Additionally, service groups will benefit by gaining
space for meetings, conventions and celebrations.
The new facility will provide economic opportunities
for area businesses.
Upon completion, it is anticipated that a local public
board will oversee the facility and work with a private
manager to ensure the long-term success of the
centre. The project will be achieved through the
implementation of a strong business plan focused on
usage and profitability.

Pier of the Bayfield Harbour to view the first five
plastic waterfowl cross the finish line.
Those five ducks, #181, #194, #450, #185 and
#410, translated into some fabulous prizes.
Rusty Brandon, of Varna, took first prize, a
stainless steel barbecue valued at $400 and
donated by a Friend of Optimist. Linda Bowman,
of Bayfield, earned second prize, a Norco BMX
Bike donated by Outside Projects and a friend of
