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 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).

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.

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. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week261ssue364/tabid/784/Default.aspx 9/18 6/13/2019 week 26 Issue 364 ...Willy Hancox .Marti Middleton Those interested in attending can register for the event by visiting Ontario Nature's event calendar, www.ontarionature.org/connect/blog/events/.

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. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week261ssue364/tabid/784/Default.aspx 10/18 6/13/2019 I. t; and Don Sr,therland- week 26 Issue 364 -1,77 jrf V E 201$-19 SEASON REMEMBER ME?

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. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week261ssue364/tabid/784/Default.aspx 13/18 6/13/2019 week 26 Issue 364 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.

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 Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
