The hall was so crowded for the event that some opted to go outside to the park to hold their breakout groups. Others retreated downstairs. But after an hour or so, the group re -convened for a rapid fire round to hear from a representative of each table, tasked with pulling together the highlights of the discussion. "We need to find out how to make the government have the political will to make the changes that are available and necessary. We pay now or we pay later," note taker Allison Lobb said, speaking for her group. She also called for greater education with young people. "It worked for blue box, it worked for smoking. Start with kids." "We had a table of very passionate people who questioned whether there was climate change," reported Barbara Hollingworth. That table also warned about what it called "politicizing climate change for profit." Another group called for what it dubbed "net zero homes" that require no external energy for heating or cooling, "The government should assist builders to build net zero homes." Several groups also mentioned wind turbines, some questioning the utility of the turbines at all, and others calling for a more equitable distribution of the economic gains from the turbines. Several groups called for greater investment in public transportation, such as light rail, or busing. "And small towns need bike lanes just as much as cities do," one note taker reported. One group questioned a focus on emissions and called for more attention to mitigation strategies. "Transportation is the biggest consumer of fossil fuels, so all of the ideas we've heard here about improving our transportation system are valid," note taker David MacLaren said. A detailed summary of the discussion will be publicly available soon online at http://eccc.publivate.ca/en. The feedback will contribute to Canada's approach on climate change. Community members are encouraged to host their own town hall or submit an idea on how to address climate change by visiting this interactive website: http://www.canada.ca/climataction.

The second performer on the docket is Kendall Jardin, of Belgrave. The free afternoon concerts being held on Sundays from 3-5 p.m. will feature artists who are relatively undiscovered. "We are giving them the stage to get some experience and help expose their talent to a broader audience. We have eight Sunday's filled already with some amazingly talented young artists," said Kirsten Harrett, owner of The Ashwood Inn. Jardin is 16 years old. She began performing at the age of nine at a school talent show. This positive experience encouraged her to pursue music as a hobby. She joined Studio C at the age of 10 to learn keyboard, guitar and voice. She has opened major local events such as Music in the Fields and The Dungannon Tractor Pull singing the national anthem. She has also performed at several local musical venues, not unlike The Ashwood, when not working at any one of her three part time jobs. Jardin hopes to pursue a career as a paramedic when she completes high school. "Ashwood Untapped" is presented by LP productions, Studio C and The Ashwood. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week271ssue365/tabid/785/Default.aspx 3/14 6/13/2019 when going through the barn.

The cost is $7 for anyone older than 5 years of age. The parking will now be in the field in front of the shed where the breakfast will be served. Guides will be on site to direct drivers where to park. The event will be a learning experience as well as a nourishing one. Behind that dairy barn door each cow gives an average of 30 Litres of milk a day. In return they receive 11 Kilograms of hay, 16 Kilograms of silage and grain, 2 Kilograms of protein supplement, minerals and salt, as well as 80 to 180 Litres of water a day. Samples of the supplements will be on display. Only the milk truck that will be on display can dwarf the size of the milk tank in the barn that stores the milk supplied by the herd. There will be many display booths set up from commodity groups, agricultural boards, and producers of our local food. There will be a bouncy cow for the children to play in and papers and booklets for them to color and read later. Parents can pick up a sign that can be placed at their gate saying, "Children at Play". July 2 is an opportunity to celebrate our rural community by learning about the dairy industry in the most productive county in Ontario, eating a hearty breakfast, and meeting neighbors and friends at Breakfast on the Farm.

CAMERON LAURIE PERFORMS IN "MY BEAUTIFUL SONS" AT BLYTH Cameron Laurie Huron County native, Cameron Laurie has been acting for as long as he can remember From his youngest years he would be recruited and assigned a role by his elder siblings for their basement drama productions for friends and relatives. His talents bloomed early in Sunday School and at public school concerts. And from a very young age he participated in the Blyth Festival sponsored summer theatre camps. Laurie also credits his drama teacher, Mr. Oliver, at Central Huron Secondary School, who found roles that would challenge him in his high school years and win him accolades in Sears Drama Festivals. For two seasons as a young teen Laurie acted in vignettes for the "Outdoor Donnellys" at Blyth. For the next few years he also performed in the intensive Blyth Festival Young Company productions - where he first came into contact with current director Gil Garratt. He even worked box office and acted as House Manager for a couple of seasons at the theatre. And now he is once again returning to his roots and taking on his second role at the Blyth Festival — playing the role of Brendan Dinning in "My Beautiful Sons". This coffee table book captures the special spirit of Bayfield through paintings, poems, posters, stories and folk art created over the past 120 years. A summer book -signing event by the authors will be held at the Bayfield Historical Society Heritage Centre and Archives on Main Street North on July 2 from 2-4 p.m. TOWN HALL The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS) will play host to two award wining singer -songwriters on the evening of July 9 as Ken Yates and opening act Deni Gauthier take to the stage. This evening of music will begin at 7:30 p.m. Ken Yates, of Toronto, received the 2014 Colleen Peterson Award from The Ontario Arts Council for his song "The One That Got Away". Born and Raised in London, ON, he moved to Boston to study songwriting at Berklee College 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". In 2013 he released his first full-length album "twenty-three" with US record label Mishara Music. Deni Gauthier is known for his lush but understated songwriting and singing style. He makes effective cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek271ssue365/tabid/785/Default.aspx 5/14 6/13/2019 Week 27 Issue 365 Laurie is a product of the collaborative Theatre and Drama program at the University of Toronto (U of T) and Sheridan College. Currently based in Toronto, he has participated in many plays on the Toronto theatre scene including, "52 Pick Up" at the Toronto Fringe, "Genesis And Other Stories" for Aim for the Tangent Theatre, Performing Occupy Toronto, and various Shakespearean roles for the Rose Theatre in Brampton and Hart House Theatre in Toronto. He especially enjoyed being able to keep his fight choreography skills sharpened in the latter. Laurie also performed the role of Oliver Cabana in the St. Joseph Historical Society award- winning play, "Narcisse". Cameron Laurie (right) was able to meet Brendan Dinning, another Huron County native, after having played him on stage. Playing the role of real living individuals is a humbling experience and Laurie tries to do justice to the character of Brendan. He considered meeting him in person to be an honor. Laurie is a member of the Howland Company that this year was a sponsored company with CanStage. The Howland Company recently worked with U of T professor Holger Symes' English translation of "Casimir and Caroline". The company took this German play originally set in the 1920s through workshop, adaptation and performance. Play development is something that interests Laurie who worked with Garratt, Paul Thompson and several others over the winter to put together a story of The Fighting 161 st, to be produced in the fall. His first role at the Blyth Festival was in "Falling Awake", where he performed with Catherine Fitch and Tony Munsch. He is pleased to be acting alongside them once again in "My Beautiful Sons". Laurie is also a singer songwriter with the band "Stuck Out Here" which features local names such as Patrick Armstrong, Ivan Raczycki, and Emmett O'Reilly. The band has toured all over eastern Canada and as far away as New York City and still comes home to perform from time to time in its old Bayfield stomping grounds. On opening night Laurie was able to meet Brendan Dinning, another Huron County native, after having played him on stage. Dinning had flown in from his base at Yellowknife, where he is a military police officer. Playing the role of real living individuals is a humbling experience and Laurie tries to do justice to the character of Brendan. He considered meeting him in person to be an honor. "My Beautiful Sons" plays until Aug. 5 at the Blyth Festival.

(Submitted photo) 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. The community will no doubt be saddened to learn that a life long resident of Bayfield has died. Madelon Mcllwain died at Alexandra Marine & General Hospital in Goderich on June 19 in her 84th year. She was the beloved wife of the late William George Mcllwain and loving mother and grandmother to Joyce, Don, Peg, BJ, and Jeff Mcllwain.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY TIM CUMMINGS About 50 students from Huron Centennial Public School in Brucefield and 15 community volunteers from the Bayfield area planted 300 plants at two rain gardens at Pioneer Park in Bayfield on June 21. They did this to help protect local water in the village along Lake Huron's shores. The installation of the rain gardens is just one-way watershed residents continue to implement the community-based Main Bayfield Watershed Plan. One of the new rain gardens is at the corner of Tuyll and Colina streets. The other rain garden is at the end of Colina Street. Rain gardens are shallow, sunken gardens. They are designed to capture water running off of roofs, driveways, and roads during storms. When you plant a rain garden, you may use a variety of native flowers, grasses and shrubs. Native plants are plants that occur naturally in a region. That makes them better suited to local growing conditions. It is the deep roots of these native plants, along with the soil of the rain garden, that help to filter oil, fertilizer and other pollutants from storm water runoff. "As storm water travels towards the lake, it can pick up dirt, oil, fertilizer and bacteria," said Healthy Watersheds Technician with Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA), Hope Brock. "By slowing storm water down, and capturing it in the gardens, we allow the plants and the soil to filter out sediment and pollutants before they reach the lake.

When storm events happen and water runs off of streets, roofs, and driveways, rain gardens can help to capture some of that storm water runoff and help to filter some of the contaminants from that water running off of surfaces. Shelagh Sully, Jo Thorsley and Ray Letheren were among the community volunteers who helped on June 21 to plant 300 native plants and create two rain gardens in Bayfield to protect local water and Lake Huron. The deep roots of the native plants, planted into the shallow and sunken rain gardens, help to filter some of the fertilizer or other pollutants that could run off of streets, driveways and other surfaces when storm events happen. back the water upstream, the less erosion happens downstream." The gardens are a demonstration project. The Pioneer Park Association, the Municipality of Bluewater, Huron County Health Unit, ABCA and community volunteers are working together on the project. The Province of Ontario provided funding for the gardens with a grant from the Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund. The project partners plan to install signs at the gardens. These signs are to inform Bayfield residents and visitors about how rain gardens work and their benefits. "I hope people will enjoy these gardens and be inspired to create one on their own property," said Brock. 'These types of gardens play an important role in protecting water quality. They also provide habitat and add beauty to our local landscape."

The literature on one of the gardens not featured due to distance peaked my interest, however, and I thought I'd like to visit it sometime. Well, last summer got away on me so I made sure I'd see it this year — we went last week. Riverbend Garden and Nursery is located near Wroxeter and what, pray tell, intrigued me so? They advertise they have more than 1,000 varieties of Hostas. They have lots of other beautiful plants too, including, Daylilies, Lilies and Peonies but the Hostas are what intrigued me the most. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek27issue365/tabid/785/Default.aspx 12/14 6/13/2019 Week 27 Issue 365 A good friend and former co-worker of mine gave me a few of her splits a few years ago when I started transitioning our hotel gardens from annual to perennials. A few of them really took off and I was inspired — every year I'd buy a new variety to add to the beds. And then we moved. Undaunted I dug up a few of my favorites and they moved with us. And now that we have a number of flowerbeds to fill and revitalize I have let my passion for Hostas free so a trip to the Riverbend was tremendously exciting. The owners have them all displayed and labeled in their vast gardens so you can walk through at your leisure and write the names of the ones that you are interested in purchasing down on a provided clipboard. At this time of year splits of some of the more rare varieties have been scooped up but you can call and reserve your favorites in the spring. Believe me, however, when I say there are still plenty of choices. In fact the sold out factor just helps you narrow things down easier. I purchased Rootin' Tootin', Night Before Christmas, Cookie Crumbs and was given Patriots Fire as a free gift with purchase. This adds to my slowly growing collection that includes: Victory, Humpback Whale, Fragrant Blue, T -Rex, Big Daddy, Blue Mouse Ears and Gold Standard plus those ones I got from my friend that started it Sadly I don't know what they are called besides amazing! I enjoyed my visit to the Riverbend so much that I'm going back with friends this morning. I am sure there are a couple of spaces in the garden for a few more of these delightful plants.
