• What are the solutions to reducing greenhouse gases that you would like to see
governments, businesses and communities implement?
• What are your ideas for growing the economy and jobs while also reducing emissions?
• What are some ideas to promote innovation and new technologies in the effort to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions?
• What can Canada do to better adapt to impacts of climate change and support affected
communities, including Indigenous communities?
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.

Kendall lardin
The Ashwood Bourbon Bar is now hosting a fun
summer series affectionately called, "Ashwood
Untapped". 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.

Some tickets will be kept in reserve at the event site for people who decide to come at the last
moment or they can be purchased in advance from Stonefield Garden Centre, or by calling 519
482-3020, or ordering through info@bayfieldfair.ca. 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

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.

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.
A memorial service was held at St. Andrews United
Church in Bayfield on June 27 followed by an
internment of ashes at Maitland Cemetery in
Goderich.
As expressions of sympathy memorial donations to
St. Andrews United Church, P.O. Box 202 Bayfield,
Ontario NOM 1 G would be greatly appreciated.
Messages of condolence for the Mcllwain family may
be forwarded to www.faleonerfuneralhomes.com.
Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Falconer
Funeral Homes Bluewater Chapel.

Week 27 Issue 365
There are countless photographs of people in the Bayfield Historical Society's Archives
collection, but sadly their names were never recorded. In this section we will showcase an
image with the hopes that one of our subscribers might be able to identify the individual(s) in
the photo. Please email your information to the Editor's attention at the address listed near the
bottom of the page in "Submissions" or you can email the archivist directly at
bayarchives@tcc.on.ca or click on the image and make a comment on Flickr.

TWO RECENTLY PLANTED RAIN GARDENS ARE
DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS

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. The more we can hold

With Lake Huron shown nearby in the background of the photo, Jo Thorsley digs into the soil with a spade as
she and other volunteers helped to plant 300 native plants in two new rain gardens in Bayfield. 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."

Volunteers Catherine Tillman and Garnet McBride, shown with Lake Huron in the background, were among the
community volunteers who helped to plant two new rain gardens in Bayfield on June 21. When water runs off of
roofs, driveways, and streets during storms in the village the soil and deep roots of the native plants in these
shallow, sunken gardens can help to capture and filter some of the contaminants in that storm water runoff.
About 15 community volunteers, along with dozens of students from Huron Centennial School, helped to plant
two new rain gardens in Bayfield on June 21. Shown during the work bee were Garnet McBride, Kelly Vader, of
BM Ross and Associates Ltd.; Margaret McBride, Ray Letheren, Jo Thorsley, Shelagh Sully, Sandy Scotchmer
and Catherine Tillman.

Last year about this time I wrote a story about the Gardens of Huron Perth tour featuring ones within a few minutes drive of
Bayfield. 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.

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. No intervention required folks — it's a natural addiction! — Melody
