Hall on Thursday, July 7. This presentation, sponsored by the Photography Cub of Bayfield, will
be open to the general public and admission is by cash donation to the Bayfield Food Bank
(Feed My Sheep).
Although much of his work over the last 19 years has focused on professional sports having
worked extensively with the NHL, Hockey Hall of Fame, Winter Olympics, NFL Super Bowl,
Major League Baseball and the NBA, on July 7 he will be showing some of his more
emotionally engaging nature shots.
His passion for photography was born from a love of nature and wildlife and his earliest
attempts at photography, as a child and into his teen years, were of birds, critters and beautiful
Canadian landscapes.
Over the past two years, his nature photography has taken him into the frigid waters of Lake
Erie where he tackled the challenge of "the Gales of November" as well as a world away to the
surf breaks off the southeast coast of Australia. This past year, he has ventured below the
surface of the Indian Ocean for the thrill of a lifetime; cage diving to shoot Great White sharks.
It is some of these amazing water-based photos that he will be showing us in Bayfield and
sharing some of the secrets that go into capturing them. These will include photos of waves on
stormy Lake Erie that he has described as "Liquid Mountains" as well as some of his incredible
surfing and shark photos from warmer climes.
His work has been featured all over the world and his photos are in high demand. For a better
look at his work Go to https://www.davesandfordphotos.com/ for a closer look at his work.
According to organizers, opportunities to see Sandford in person are hard to come by and
Bayfield is lucky to have him visit. The evening will begin at 7 p.m.

of Music. It was there that he developed his
skills as a songwriter, releasing his first album,
"The Backseat EP".
Yates' songwriting ability started getting noticed
right away, including attention from John Mayer,
who posted a full page Blog about Yates' ability
as a writer stating, "Ken Yates wrote a song
called 'I Don't Wanna Fall In Love'... this song
moved me when I first heard it and still does
today".

effective use of his looping station, as well as ambient guitar noises that add texture to his

SPONSOR A PLANTER
The Bluewater Blooms Committee is offering the
chance to sponsor a flower planter on your
community's Main Street.
In past years, flowers were watered until Labour Day
and removed from the street before the end of
September. This year the Committee has planned to
extend the watering schedule all the way to
Thanksgiving and needs financial support to cover
the additional watering and maintenance schedule. A
donation of $75 covers all the extra costs and will be
recognized by acknowledgement on the planter.
To sponsor a planter in the Communities in Bloom
(CIB) Street Planter Sponsorship program, please
contact Nellie Evans at the Municipality of Bluewater,
519 236-4351 Ext 236 or Jim Fergusson. Please
provide the words you wish to place on the sign (up
to three lines) and the location of planter to sponsor
(ie. Bayfield Main Street in front of...). There are
planters to sponsor in Bayfield, Hensall and Zurich.
Sponsorship is $75 per planter for one season. A
receipt is issued. Cash, cheque or debit (payable to
Municipality of Bluewater)
CIB judges love the planters because they provide
continuity of appearance in Bluewater's villages as
they are planted with flowers of the same colors.
They provide floral decoration that shows pride in the
community. The judges will visit on August 10 and 11.
FOOD BANK

food bank? Well, the Virtual High School (VHS) is

BEACH BUTTS
The Huron County Health Unit is calling for your help
to clean up cigarette butts on beaches. Volunteers
are needed for two beach clean-ups that will be held
over the summer to raise awareness about the
negative impacts that cigarette butt litter has on our
environment.
The first clean-up will be at the Grand Bend Main
Beach on July 5 from 4:30-7 p.m. and the second will
be at Goderich Main Beach on Aug. 2 from 5-6:30
p.m.
"These are great opportunities for youth groups,
sports teams and other members of the community
to learn something new and make our communities
cleaner, healthier places to live and play," said Huron
County Health Unit Public Health Promotion Student,
Michael Roy. Volunteers will work together to collect
cigarette butts along the beach.

Having a hearty breakfast and then touring a
dairy farm is an option the family can partake in
very soon.
On July 2, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., breakfast
served outdoors will be available at the
Steenbeek Dairy Farms just East of Varna. The
Bayfield Lions' Club will be preparing breakfast
for a limited number of people. Tables will be
set up in a nearby shed where everyone is able
to eat under cover.
Tours of the 300 milking herd operation will take
<O�I�rTH�EFF�ARI1ri� place all morning for anyone coming to the
farm. Opportunities to have a look behind
modern barn doors are rare and this visit all visitors will have their questions answered as well
Parking will be on a cement pad behind the shed and the tours start nearby. Pets and smoking
are not permitted on the farm. Shoes or running shoes are recommended for the tours.
Local milk, egg, pork, and grain producers are sponsoring "Breakfast on the Farm". Gay Lea
has provided an inflatable bouncy cow for the children to play in while waiting for the tours or
following their tours. Several displays will also be available to learn about what a cow would eat
and there will be displays of some of the machinery needed for planting or looking after the
crops. A milk truck will be present demonstrating how much milk is hauled to the milk depots.
There will be many handouts that can be taken which help explain where and how our food is
grown and how it is processed. There will also be a booklet available that everyone might use
to look at how safe everything is around where we live.
Tickets are available at Stonefield Garden Centre, by calling 519 482-9296, or by ordering
online at info@bayfieldfair.ca. Tickets may be available at the farm on July 2 but tours will be
held for everyone. This event is a great opportunity to bring Canada Day visitors to the village
to inform them about agriculture in our local community — part of the most productive area in
Ontario. The Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) is organizing this breakfast -tour event with
massive assistance by the Steenbeek family.
Food always seems to be a major focus for the BAS. The Ribs Fest is a very popular part of
the Bayfield Community Fair. This year, to reflect suggestions from last year's fest, there will be
four groups preparing the ribs. Caitlyn Vail, of Cait's Kitchen in Goderich, and Pat and Kevin,
from Pat & Kevin's on the Square in Goderich, will join Devin Tabor, of Bon Vivant Catering,
and Brian Garnet of Let the Flames Begin. One group is talking about using secret ingredients
to make theirs the best ribs. The committee is hoping this will be the most successful year yet
for Ribs Fest.
The BAS promotes greater awareness of agriculture for all ages. It has been active for 160
years and depends on the support of the community. If anyone wishes to be involved as a
volunteer or leader, the Society would be pleased to hear from you at info@bayfieldfair.ca.
Anyone interested in volunteering for a few hours for
the beach clean ups should contact Sam Docherty at
519 482-3416 Ex 2557 or
sdocherty@huroncounty.ca.
The Huron Ready Community Notification Program is
ending effective immediately and its phone and social
media services are being discontinued.
Huron Ready has been operating since 2009.
However, after conducting a program review, it has
been identified that this County service is no longer
relevant. With the rising adoption of communication
technologies, Huron Ready has become redundant
as source agencies responsible for community
notifications are now connecting to residents directly
using tools like social media.
Over the coming days, one final phone call campaign
will be completed to members of the public registered
with Huron Ready to notify them that the service is
ending. This final call campaign is expected to be
complete by the end of this month. A notice will be
posted to the Huron Ready Facebook and Twitter
accounts to notify followers that the program is
ending.
To continue to receive community notifications,
residents are advised to consult the following
authoritative sources: for road closures, follow the
OPP @OPP_COMM_WR; for weather alerts, follow
Environment Canada @ECAlertON160 (Goderich) or
@ECAlertON110 (Wingham).
HANDBAGS FOR HOSPICE
Women are invited to the ultimate ladies' night when
Huron Hospice Volunteer Service presents the power
of the purse gala event, "Handbags for Hospice".
This evening sponsored by Realty Executives will be
held on June 23 at the Libro Community Hall, 239 Bill
Fleming Drive in Clinton.
The highlight of the event being held from 7-10 p.m.
will be a charity purse auction featuring fashion and
designer handbags as well as other accessories.
Attendees can also indulge in desserts provided by
The Black Dog Pub and Bistro of Bayfield and a cash
bar.

NEW TREES NEED VILLAGERS'
STEWARDSHIP AND WATER
The Bayfield Tree Project (BTP) has had another busy spring and has recently planted 22 new
trees in the village. Cameron Street was the focus for the new trees as well as several fill-in
spots throughout the village.
The total number planted since this group began in 2011 is a remarkable 400 trees.
The BTP Committee asks that homeowners please read and incorporate the following tips in
order to keep the trees healthy:
Water the trees weekly (a slow drip from a hose if possible); the trees need an inch of water
weekly for the first two years.
Do not "whippersnip" near any tree. Once the bark is injured the tree may die. Unfortunately,
several trees have been killed this way.
Mulching elevates the likelihood of your new tree having a healthy life. Place the mulch in a
circle around the base of the tree but not touching the bark.
It has been noted that the ground is extremely dry so without attentive watering for the first two
years these trees will perish.
The BTP thanks the residents for their ongoing financial support as well as their good
stewardship. All donations of $20 and over will receive a tax receipt. Please make your
cheques payable to ABCA Foundation/ Bayfield Tree Project and mail them to P.O. Box 164,
Bayfield, ON NOM 1 GO.

Prizes were, however, given away to those men and women who shot their golf balls closest to
the pins on four holes. These winners were: Hole #2, Matt McKaig and Sue Burton, $50 Little

Huron Shores Catering provided the evening meal and all enjoyed a Silent Auction and 50/50
draw during the cocktail hour. Prizes were presented to all golfers through a random draw. It is
estimated that the tournament raised over $5,000 for the Optimist Club's Friend of Youth
projects.
Optimist Mike Dixon presented the closest to the pin prizes to participants in the Bayfield Optimist Club's
annual Golf Tournament held at the Bayview Golf Club on June 11. Prize winners included: Matt McKaig...

the children of the community.
Those people with children interested in participating
should call Knox Church and leave a message. The
number is 519 565-2913. The program will run from 9
a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with lunch and snacks provided.
Youngsters who have graduated JK through to Grade
6 are welcome. The cost is $5 per day per child or $7
for two or more children.
Every Run4Kids event the winners in every division
of the run receive a photo plaque. This year
organizers, Virtual High School and the Bayfield
Optimist Club, have decided to hold a photo contest
to involve the community in determining what image
will grace the 2016 plaque.
The image should reflect the nature of the Run4Kids
as well as the organization that benefits from the
event, Make -A -Wish. And although there should be
children in the photograph they should not be easily
identifiable.
Large file images should be emailed to
Jackie.loebach@ virtualhighschool.com
There is no prize for the picture chosen, just bragging
rights to help support the cause.

BIOBLITZ
Ontario Nature will host a Bioblitz at its George G.
Newton Nature Reserve on June 25.
The George G. Newton Nature Reserve is located on
Kitchigami Road in Central Huron. Ontario Nature will
be hosting this all -ages event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Perched upon the rolling Wyoming Moraine, not far
inland from Lake Huron, this reserve was once a
farm until it was donated to Ontario Nature. The trail
system through the reserve takes us through a
forested ravine and old farm fields, and offers a
compelling example of ecological farmland
restoration.
During the Bioblitz, participants will try to identify
local flora and fauna on the property. In addition,
participants can talk with one of Ontario Nature's
expert biologists who specialize in identifying reptiles,
amphibians, plants and birds.
Ontario Nature will be hosting this all -ages event
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. A free brown bag lunch will be
served at noon.

Irene Maria Harris died recently. Born in 1921 Irene
Ledergerber in Gossau, Switzerland, Irene was the
oldest of 8 children. She emigrated to Abbotsford,
British Columbia, Canada with her husband, Leslie
Harris, in 1952. Following Leslie's death, she enjoyed
several happy years with her companion Hugh
Fellowes. Irene moved to Bayfield in 2005 to be with
her daughter, Roma Harris and partner Leslie Bella.
She is also survived by Hugh's daughters, Angela
and Jane and remaining siblings, Hugo, Thomas and
Ivo Ledergerber and Heidi Fraefel.
Irene had a successful career as a social worker,
including as district supervisor for child welfare and
financial services in Mission and area. She will be
remembered for her stylish elegance, canny bridge
play, her straightforward expression of opinion and
her great love of music and travel. As she did
throughout her life, she showed great dignity and
grace during her final difficult days.
Roma and Leslie would like to thank our wonderful
friends for their love and support and to recognize
the kind staff of the Bluewater Nursing Home in
Zurich for their compassion and gentle ways.
Following Irene's wishes there will be a champagne
reception for family, friends and neighbours at 18
Louisa Street, Bayfield on Friday, June 24 between
4-5 p.m.

The adventure began with a lunch time stop at the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory.
The girls were able to get very close to a young Giraffe as they stayed nice and quiet during their session with
his keeper.
Samson the Hippo came out of his pond to enjoy a snack while his keepers shared stories about him with the
girls.
Zoo -mobile and introduced to their camp guides —
Chelsey and Katie. These young leaders never
missed an opportunity to share animal and
conservation knowledge with the girls packing
their heads full of interesting animal facts from
start to finish. And the girls kept them on their toes
with plenty of questions.
Highlights included getting up close and personal
with two young giraffes and Samson the
Hippopotamus who came out of the water to
devour salad fixings. The girls discovered that
Giraffes dine gracefully while Hippos don't have
the best table manners. They also learned a lot of
fun facts about these creatures when they met
their keepers.
When darkness fell the girls took part in a
Scavenger Hunt game between Carnivores and
Herbivores along the African Savanna. A campfire
with S'mores and the dramatic telling of a legend
about giraffes rounded out the experience.
Once nestled in their tents the girls fell asleep
listening to the barking of Hyenas as dawn began
they drifted out of sleep to the plaintive call of the
lions followed appropriately enough by music from
"The Lion King".
For breakfast the girls dined overlooking the
Rhino exhibit and then they were given a tour of
the African Rainforest Pavilion where they were
introduced to a Royal Python, the Ring -Tailed
Lemurs, the Slender -Tailed Meerkats and a
Pygmy Hippo among others.
Once the zoo reopened for the day the girls were
divided into smaller groups to explore the other
regions of the zoo. Some members ran straight to
the Giant Panda exhibit to see the new babes and
their parents before the viewing lines grew too
long. Others tried out the ropes course at the
Gorilla exhibit and still others ended their day with
time at Splash Island a fun splash pad area with
an animal theme.
The members of Bayfield Guiding would like to
thank those businesses and individuals who
helped them make this very ambitious year-end
adventure financially possible. A bequeath, cookie
sales and a share in a recent Penny Sale and
Silent Auction fundraiser helped make this trip
happen.

The three lion cubs born at the zoo are now eight months old but still full of plenty of playfulness.
The cheetahs are often elusive but after the zoo closed this one offered an 'a -ha" moment for many of the
group as she sat right up against the glass of her exhibit and watched the girls watch her.
While his spouse and young cubs slept, Da Mao roamed his exhibit and dined on some Bamboo. He was born in
China in 2008 and is described as being lively, tender and quite a gentleman.
Sharing new experiences while making friends is a big
part of Guiding.

SUBMISSIONS
So I had another "a -ha" moment at the Toronto Zoo this past weekend as I
escorted my third group of girls and young women on an overnight at the
Serengeti Bush Camp.
It couldn't have been a more picture perfect adventure — the weather
cooperated and the animals did too. It was kind of like they were collectively
thinking, "Hey look, it's the Bayfield Girl Guides. Now they had to raise a lot of
money and drive a fair distance to visit us so we're going to show them that we
are as pleased to see them as they are to see us!"
Animals that were dreamily asleep in the warm summer sunshine suddenly became alert and in many
cases came over to give us a closer look.
An "a -ha" moment after hours at the zoo.
Every time I take girls on this excursion I seem to have an "a -ha" moment and this time it was with a Cheetah. The girls were busy playing a supervised
game along the African Savanah when a co -leader came out from around the corner of an exhibit. "Brown Owl," she said. "You've got to see this and bring
that camera!"
My heart melted as I came around the corner to see a usually elusive Cheetah sitting up alert at the glass of her exhibit looking curiously right through me.
Magic! One by one all the members of our group filtered around the corner and had an "a -ha" moment with her. She remained attentive and patient with
each and every one.
It was a once in a lifetime moment that I am so pleased to have shared with my Guiding sisters. And I hope they took away as I did that we can learn so
much about ourselves when looking deep into the eyes of those creatures that we walk the planet with. — Melody
