The registration form only takes a few minutes to complete and can be found at: www.eXXpedition.com/greatiakes2Ol6. Participants are encouraged to share their stories through social media and multi -media platforms. We are working with our partners, Love Your Greats, to create collaborative engagement opportunities. These will be shared with participants who register, in the Information Package to be sent out throughout cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/Bayfield Breeze/week28issue366/tabid/786/Default.aspx 1/18 6/13/2019 week 28 Issue 366 All -female crews from Canada and the USA are sailing together for the first time this summer on all five of the Great Lakes, Lake St. Clair and the St. Lawrence River to shed new light on the link between human health and plastic in the world's waterways. The crews will be made up of women from a range of backgrounds including exploration, sport, science, technology, enterprise and the arts. But perhaps most importantly, they are all Great Lakes residents passionate about protecting our water for future generations. These Lead Boats will be conducting sampling for plastics, specifically microplastics, as well chemicals and toxics. The data collected will be provided to multiple organizations, including the United Nations, to raise awareness of their presence but also help reduce plastic and toxic pollution. Jennifer Pate However, the event isn't limited to these all -female crews. This one -day mass engagement event, taking place throughout the Great Lakes region, aims to be the world's largest simultaneous sampling for microplastics in history. That means eXXpedition Great Lakes 2016 is inviting everyone and anyone — male, female, adult, child, solo or in groups — to take part in whatever way they can, wherever they can. The day is designed to celebrate our love for the Great Lakes through conducting citizen science on all its waterways, from a backyard river to the middle of a Great Lake. The aim is that no matter how participants can access the Great Lakes and it's connecting waterways, whether it's canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, swimming or even just walking, everyone can be a part of this event and a part of the solution. Partnered with Adventurers & Scientists for Conservation, participants can take a water sample for the Worldwide Microplastics Project and have their sample analyzed for free. The event has also partnered with two clean-up organizations, the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup in the summer. For now, people can connect with us through Twitter (@eXXpedition), Instagram (@eXXpeditiongirls) and Facebook (www.facebook.com/greatiakes2Ol6). Official hashtags for the day are Moveyourgreats and #eXXpeditiongreatlakes. Water samples will be collected and analyzed for the presence of toxics and microplastics. However, the solution to this environmental and human health issue demands effort from everyone. These crews are inviting citizens throughout the Great Lakes region to join them, by taking water samples for Adventurers & Scientists for Conservation's Worldwide Microplastics Project, as well as conducting shoreline clean-ups for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup in Canada and the Alliance for the Great Lakes' Adopt -a -Beach program in the USA. Data collected by the Lead Boats and all participants will contribute to growing open source global databases documenting plastic and toxic pollution and their impacts on biodiversity and waterway health. This event aims to be the world's largest simultaneous sampling for microplastics in history. As well as conducting water sampling and shoreline clean-ups, eXXpedition Great Lakes is encouraging participants to become Community Leads, planning events in their local area on the day to maximize engagement, from plastic -free BBQs to film screenings and music concerts. This event is designed to encourage citizens across the region to see Aug. 20 as a day to appreciate and celebrate the Great Lakes, while providing the opportunity to be a part of creating a healthier future for the world's waterways. Organizers see eXXpedition Great Lakes as the first of what will become an annual "Love Your Greats' day. SANDFORD PRESENTATION Dave Sandford, a world renowned professional photographer will be making a photographic presentation of some of his award winning photos at the Bayfield Town Hall on Thursday, July 7. The event will be hosted by the Photography Club of Bayfield and is a fundraiser for the Bayfield Food Bank.

Increasing concern about the potential link between plastics in the environment and human health have been growing since 2013, with evidence that microplastics may be able to transfer toxic pollutants and chemicals and enter the food chain. It was this topic in particular that led to the creation of eXXpedition. eXXpedition is a series of all -female voyages with a long-term engagement program that explores the unseen plastics and toxics inside our waters and ourselves. Two women who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on the first eXXpedition in 2014, Jennifer Pate and Elaine McKinnon, are bringing this mission and vision to the Great Lakes this summer. Renowned nature photographer Dave Sandford will be showing some of his dramatic water photos in a presentation at the Bayfield Town Hall tomorrow, July 7. The event will begin at 7 p.m. and is sponsored by the Photography Club of Bayfield (PCoB) Admission is free. Organizers simply ask for a cash donation to the Bayfield Food Bank (Feed My Sheep). According to Jack Pal, a member of the PCoB, "Come, be amazed and learn what goes into making his absolutely spectacular storm wave and underwater shark photos. You will not be disappointed. Dave's work has been featured all over the world and his photos are in high demand." For a better look at some of his recent photos go to "eXXpedition has spent the past two years https://www.davesandfordphotos.com/ . Please share sailing the Atlantic Ocean, across the mouth of this invitation with all your photographer friends and the Amazon River, along the coast of Norway anyone else interested in a great photo story. and through the Caribbean Sea collecting samples of plastic and toxic pollution. We know Elaine McKinnon they are out there," said Jennifer Pate, of Bayfield, an eXXpedition Great Lakes Mission Leader. "We were alarmed by the high levels of persistent organic pollutants in our world's waterways, the effects they could have on our bodies and above all — the fact that these issues go unseen, and are rarely talked about. By experiencing the problem and the research first hand, I knew I had to bring the eXXpedition mission and vision back home to the Great Lakes — so this event was born!" Pate went on to say that in parts of the Great Lakes there is a higher density of microplastics then in any of the Ocean gyres. Scientists estimate that everyone alive today carries at least 700 contaminants within their bodies, most of which have not been well studied. There is an evidence base building that this exposure to chemicals is impacting health, and female specific disease research has a low public profile in the media, whilst there is also an imbalance in research funding directed towards gender specific disease. As the women sail, they will sample the Great Lakes waterways for plastics and toxics. Plastics will be sampled according to protocols developed by the 5 Gyres Institute. "The problem isn't just out there in the Oceans, but it's right here in our backyard, in our lakes and on our dinner plates. We are all a part of the problem, but that means we are also all an integral part of the solution. That's why we are holding this event, to give people an opportunity to change the story and create a healthier future, not only for the Great Lakes, but also for the Oceans, the planet and themselves," Pate concluded. Pal, added, "Opportunities to see Dave in person are hard to come by and Bayfield is lucky to have him in our midst."

(Submitted photos) On July 2nd, 17 children and a couple of Moms got to build their very own Fairy Gardens. The Friends of the Bayfield Library (FOBL) organized this event showcasing this popular way of creating gardens and felt it was a great success. The activity was held in the Reading Gardens beside the Bayfield Public Library. Jennifer Shelleau offered a session on how to create your own fairy garden with lots of fairies, pots, succulents, dirt, colored glass, stones, pine cones, sticks, paint and glue. The participants used their imaginations and every fairy garden was different although most tried to fit in their favorite place - the beach! cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week281ssue366/tabid/786/Default.aspx 9/18 6/13/2019 week 28 Issue 366 .IMG -1609 Ballgame Jennifer Shelleau helped 17 children to use their imaginations and incorporate lots of materials into their fairy gardens.

Doris Ball On Jan. 8, Doris Ball (nee Murray) (born 1930) passed away at Clinton Public Hospital. Her family is laying her to rest at Bayfield Cemetery on Aug. 6 at a private interment. Doris' friends are welcome to join her family later that day for a celebration of her life. Doris truly enjoyed a casual coming together of friends and family in a Bayfield backyard and her family invites all who have fond memories of her to join them in a backyard celebration of her life at the home of her daughter, Linda, and her husband, Carman, at 8 Glass Street. Anyone who wishes to come by and swap stories is invited to do so from 3-5 p.m. She made Bayfield her permanent home in 1990, but her connection to the village dates much further back. In 1946, her parents, Gordon and Georgina Murray, purchased a lot on Dow Street that served as the family cottage for decades to come. Dick Ball, her future husband, courted her here. They went on to raise four kids, bringing them to Bayfield as soon as school was out for the summer. All four - David Ball, Scott Ball (Cindy), Linda LeBel (Carman) and Jeff Ball (Shari) - now call Bayfield home. Her sisters, Pat Langley (Bud), of Bayfield, and Carole Halse (John), of Stouffville, survive her. She was an active member of the Bayfield community working to preserve village landmarks, including, the Bayfield Town Hall and Pioneer Park. She was also a member of several clubs, including an investment club and the book club known as the Bayfield Ladies Literary Guild. Her family would like to thank all who donated to Pioneer Park and the Arthritis Society in her name. For Doris, enjoying an ice cream cone while watching the sunset at Pioneer Park was a tradition to be upheld, come what may. She would be happy to cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week281ssue366/tabid/786/Default.aspx 10/18 6/13/2019 week 28 Issue 366 L;�IIMG_5385 know such generous donations were made to the park in her name.

One little lad was startled when a curious calf gave him a lick on the cheek. PHOTOS BY MELODY FALCONER - POUNDER AND STORY BY DOUG YEO ;�IMG_5441 On Saturday morning, July 2nd, these were the hottest tickets in town, as the event sold out before the day of this fundraiser for the Bayfield Agricultural Society even arrived! July 2nd was a sunny morning for hundreds of Bayfield residents and visitors to celebrate Canada's 149th birthday, eat a breakfast on a nearby farm, and tour through a modern dairy operation. Over 530 people were served breakfast prepared by the Bayfield Lions' Club. The Huron Pork Producers, Grain Farmers, Milk Producers and Egg Farmers provided much of what was eaten. The pancakes were covered with local maple syrup produced by Rick Schilbe. The Whole Pig, of Dashwood, owned by Teresa and Martin Van Raay, provided the sausages. Those who attended would know doubt agree that local products sure taste great. Many parents lined up for the breakfast and the children wandered over to the bouncy cow supplied by Gay Lea. The youngsters picked up coloring pages and pig erasers while adults gathered recipes and information from many agricultural groups. All the signs that said Drive Safely Children Playing went quickly. Several hundred people came just to tour the barn since the meal was sold out before the day of the event. It is a rare privilege to get a glimpse of what goes on behind barn doors. Visitors wandered along the calf hutches in a nearby field to take a good look at all the calves. Many guides cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week281ssue366/tabid/786/Default.aspx 13/18 6/13/2019 II °IIM G_5459 week 28 Issue 366 These are the white, domed, igloo -like structures that some farmers use as outdoor "nurseries". The hutch keeps the young calves isolated from other calves when they are most vulnerable to transmissible disease. Individual attention is paid to the calf, keeping an eye on feed consumption and health. Hutches act like an incubator, keeping the calf in a warm environment. Calves have the freedom to move around within the hutch and are usually bedded on a warm pack of straw. Water and feeding stations are present within the hutch so that the calf can freely choose to eat or drink. From here, calves are moved to either a stall system or group pens. ;�IMG_5447 Many parents lined up for the breakfast and the children wandered over to the bouncy cow supplied by Gay Lea. were along the tour route as people saw a video of the milking process and all the equipment to make a cow's life happy and productive. Several people commented on how large the cows were and how calm they were with hundreds of people invading their space. A lot of excellent questions were asked about the dairy operation. The organizers and supporters of this event were pleased that many more people are now better informed about the modern dairy industry. There is now greater understanding where milk originates and all the work it takes to produce the milk. Huron County has so much to offer the rest of the country. This county offers a wonderful recreational retreat in the most agriculturally productive area of the province. A special thanks is extended to the Steenbeek family, Gerhardus, Nichele, Leigh, and Jaxon, for being so accommodating and welcoming as hosts of the Breakfast on the Farm event. Jentje Steenbeek, president of the Bayfield Agricultural Society, felt everything went well and thanked the legion of volunteers needed to keep everything organized. Visitors at the event are asked to complete a very short survey on the website www.bayfieldfair.ca which will help guide changes for another venture in the future. The farm currently has 22 young calves residing in the calf hutches. They were eager to suck on anyone who offered a hand.

The milk is picked up every other day by a large cooler truck. Milk in Ontario is anti -biotic free. All milk produced is tested before it leaves the farm to ensure it meets strict quality standards and is free from anti -biotic residue. Although the cows weren't being milked at the time of the tour visitors did get to see how it is done via a video. Twenty-one month old Noelle Pounder, of Toronto, found a cow just her size during the farm tour.

OPTIMIST J--4 0 y1, Bayfield ,24iiews Em[IuSi�e S5+ Community One Floor iownh+omes 519. 555 •4542 ,,_ www_baylieldmews,ca I wasn't assigned chores during the school year as my mother put strong emphasis on homework before farm work. But my childhood growing up on a beef/dairy farm mix is filled with great memories of life in the country before things got really big and industrial. We had about 100 head with 30 or so ladies milking at one time. It was enough to supply a comfortable life — today it would probably be described as a hobby farm. I helped with feeding, haying, bringing in the grain and supplying very excited cows with stalks of fresh corn in the summertime. I went to fetch the cows in the far pasture for the evening milking and joined in the line of Holsteins heading to the barn as was their ritual. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week281ssue366/tabid/786/Default.aspx 17/18 6/13/2019 week 28 Issue 366 There is a lot I miss about roaming those 160 acres when the fields were fenced and the farm was alive with new born calves and my father still walked the earth. So having the opportunity to share a little bit of farm life with our grandson and granddaughter on Saturday at Breakfast on the Farm was very special. My almost two year-old granddaughter's facial expressions were priceless as she watched a calf pretty much swallow her grandmother's hand and lick me up to my shoulders. There is nothing better than stroking the silky patch of hair on the top of a calf's head as it tries to lick your hand. My grandson wasn't particularly pleased with the smell in the main dairy barn. As he covered his nose with his t -shirt I inhaled the biggest breath of the sweet fermented smell of silage that I could. It is a warm, comforting smell — well to me at least. Hey, maybe I am a typical Huron County farm girl after all. — Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
