More than a month ago Canada Post tried to renew its dollar -a -year lease for 10 more years. Deputy - Mayor Jim Fergusson asked Bluewater council not to renew the lease until costs for hydro, heat and cleaning were calculated by municipal staff. Last week council learned the costs were $2,662 a year. Councillor Dave Roy convinced council it should charge $2,000 for five years. The dollar -year lease originated 10 years ago when all Canada Post services were included in a Post Office on Main Street. Fergusson later explained, "The merchants on Main Street felt all mail services concentrated in one location were a magnate for merchants.

(Submitted photos) Pint size horses will strut their stuff at the Huron Reach Centre in Clinton on June 18 as part of the Bayfield Agricultural Society's American Miniature Horse Registry (AMHR) Sanctioned Show. The public is encouraged to come out and watch the horses and their handlers compete in this family -friendly, free event starting at 8 a.m. The horses competing in this "points" show are all 38 inches and under. The horses compete in classes, and at this show there will be two judges who grade them in the points system. Then they are placed up to sixth for ribbons. They are judged for confirmation and performance. This show has 125 classes, including: youth, halter, amateur, and driving. There are also COOL classes. This class stands for Conquering Obstacles Overcoming Limitations. And there are even fun classes like jumping, liberty and obstacle. Halter classes are broken down into categories, starting by sex — mares, stallions and geldings, then it's divided even further by ages - foals, two year-olds, and three and over. This allows the judges to see horses in their own group and age to judge them more fairly. services a few years ago the magnet that worked for the merchants became broken." More than 330 homes, cottages and some farm buildings between Bayfield and Grand Bend are being threatened by erosion along the Lake Huron shoreline. The threat was explained to Bluewater Council by Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) last week. High lake water smashing against the shoreline cliffs can be expected to cause more damage in future years. ABCA expects warmer winters will increase the problem because the lake will remain open during the heavy winds of winter. Barriers now being used along the beach won't stop the erosion, an ABCA spokesperson explained. Many of the existing barriers will increase the erosion because it will divert the natural flow of the lake water. ABCA asked council to invest in consultants to help evaluate the extent of the problem. Councillors John Gillespie and George Irvine called ABCA's request premature. They urged ABCA to deal with individual property owners before hiring consultants. The two councillors felt ABCA should first answer property owners' questions and concerns. The majority of council agreed. Women are invited to the ultimate ladies' night when Huron Hospice Volunteer Service presents the power of the purse gala event, "Handbags for Hospice".

"With that being said this show can go very late, last year which was our very first show went till well past 2 a.m.," said Liz Elliott, one of the organizers. "We offer amateur classes that allow people who do not train for others to compete in this class. You need to have an amateur card that you apply for via the AMHR registry.

Such is the passion and enthusiasm Brabender has for the expansion project and her energy is much appreciated by all involved with the BAFHT. Brabender has been with the team since the centre was started in 2008. In the following eight years, the number of patients with the BAFHT has risen from 1,680 to 4,150 today, with a target of 5,340 rostered patients within the next year or so.

The new facility will have space available for the BAFHT to partner with other health care agencies and will offer specific programs for the community.

They returned in time for her 90th birthday celebrations, and performed some of the same music in her honor. The Aldeburgh Connection last performed in Bayfield four years ago, at the time of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee. They returned in time for her 90th birthday celebrations, and performed some of the same music in her honor. In addition, the audience enjoyed the world premiere of "Summer on Lake Winnipeg", written especially for Ralls and Ubukata by their friend, Winnipeg native, John Greer. Westman grew up on a farm in the area, spent summers in Bayfield, and has performed with the Aldeburgh Connection here before. Now based in Stratford, he is one of today's leading Verdi baritones and will play the leading role of Sir John A. Macdonald in the Canadian Opera company's new production of Louis Real. In his final encore, his stunning rendition of "Some Enchanted Evening" awed the audience. The Board of Directors for the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society offers thanks to Ralls, Ubukata and Westman for donating their time, an incredible gift to the Town Hall. Sponsors included OLG and D&S Pianos, whose donations to the concert were greatly appreciated. Plus, thank you to "The Piano Movers", including DM Lawyers and Greg Stewart, whose generosity helped defray the cost of bringing the piano to Bayfield. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week251ssue363/tabid/783/Default.aspx 11/14 6/13/2019 week 25 Issue 363 James Westman grew up on a farm in the area, spent summers in Bayfield, and has performed with the Aldeburgh Connection here before.

The last time I did so was about 25 years ago when Signal -Star Publishing had an annual company tournament. I don't remember much about the actual game play. I recall watching a foursome from the composing room at the hole adjacent my group pitching their golf balls to see who could throw them the furthest because using their clubs just wasn't working for them. remember that the owner of our newspaper chain, at that time the company was owned by the St. Catherine's Standard group, barbecued my steak for me. And I also recall winning a brown beaded seat cover as my prize! cc.villageofbayfiield.com/Members/Bayfield Breeze/week25issue363/tabid/783/Default.aspx 13/14 6/13/2019 week 25 Issue 363 Flash forward two and a half decades to Saturday when I took part in the Bayfield Optimist Club's fundraising tournament at Bayview Golf Club. This too was a best ball scenario and I tried to channel my five year-old grandson's philosophy of sport. When trying an activity he often repeats, "I'm really good at this" - even as he is falling off his scooter. And I have to say going with the flow was beneficial to my game. We actually used three of my drives to play off of when the group was only tasked to use two. I'd like to thank my very patient teammates and also the Optimists for running a stellar tournament that ran on time to the "t"! The Bayview course is quite beautiful and rather intimidating in a couple of places but I really enjoyed being out amongst the mature trees, singing birds, warm sunshine and I delighted in the camaraderie of the other golfers. Not sure if golf is my game but I'm pretty sure this experience confirmed that I won't be waiting another 25 years before I try it again. — Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
