According to organizers, this march is about empowerment. It is about a person's passion for making the world a better place for all living things A "Day Without Women" happened first in 1975, in Iceland — 42 years ago. It changed the way women were seen in that country and put Iceland at the forefront of the fight for equality. All women and girls, and men and boys who wish to support the cause, are invited to meet at Shop Bike Coffee on Main Street in Bayfield at 2:30 p.m. for the march that will commence at 3 p.m. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week10issue400/tabid/820/Default.aspx 1/18 6/13/2019 week 10 issue 400 performance to "Listen to the Music".

(Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) RATEPAYERS' SEND LETTER TO BLUEWATER REGARDING BUDGET BY KEN LARONE EDITOR'S NOTE: The first part of this article can be found in the Week 9 Issue 399 edition of the Bayfield Breeze. The Bayfield Ratepayers' Association (BRA) told Bluewater Council two weeks ago it should take a hard look at how it is spending money collected from municipal taxes. The BRA asked council to follow the principles of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. This article is a summary of the second part of the six-page letter the BRA sent to council which is currently wrestling with its 2017 budget. "The total tax load in 2017 for Bluewater's ratepayer will be in the range of $15 million to $16 million," the BRA wrote in its letter. Already, "Bayfield ratepayers are suffering from severe tax fatigue." Since amalgamation in 2002, villagers have individually paid thousands of dollars in extra levies - a waste water system, storm sewers, water systems north and south of the Bayfield River and the Zurich arena. Now there is "an impending levy for an unanticipated expansion of the village sewage system." The BRA claims Bluewater taxes go far beyond the nine core services recognized by the CTF "Council should implement a zero -based budget template to reflect this year's current budget to last year's actual," the letter recommended. "Some staff wage increases are more than 15 per cent higher than last year and the general administration alone is 20.2 per cent higher." Historically, the citizens of Bayfield have relied less on government. Private groups in the village have taken the initiative to provide a full range of programs, projects and services. These initiatives lessen the financial and administrative demands on Bluewater. The Bayfield Town Hall, The Bayfield Lions' Community Building and The Bayfield Archives and Heritage Centre are three buildings leased from the municipality for $1 each a year. Citizens who manage and operate the programs for each building pay for their upkeep and manage the programs using the facilities. The Bayfield International Croquet Club gets the same $1 deal each year. The club's 110 members form the largest sports club in the community. The Lions Club, Optimist Club and other local groups regularly raise funds for capital improvements to Clan Gregor Square. Additional groups such as The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA), The Agriculture Society, The Pioneer Park and Beach, The Garden Club, Friends of the Bayfield Library, Home4Good, The Bayfield Initiative Team and the Bayfield Arena Community Partners Association involve hundreds of citizens who raise thousands of dollar each year for their community, all of which helps to reduce municipal costs. The Bayfield Tree Project has purchased hundreds of trees for streets throughout the village. Recently the Bayfield River Flats were purchased for less than $100,000. The flats will become a future public park along the river and managed by the BRVTA. "The BRA recommends other communities within Bluewater be encouraged to undertake a similar range of volunteer activities. It would result in a large number of capital and program items being removed from municipal services and costs," the BRA letter suggested. The Canadian Taxpayers Association has prepared a list of questions and suggestions that every municipal government should ask itself. Here are some of their recommendations: 1) Refocus activities on core services for the municipality. The march will conclude at Clan Gregor Square where there will be music and inspirational speeches by inspiring women of our community. The event should wrap up about 5 p.m. Please bring refillable water bottles and/or coffee/tea containers. PUBLIC SKATING The International Plowing Match (IPM) to be held near Walton in September 2017 is sponsoring public skating on March 5 at the Bayfield Arena. The IPM will also have an information booth set up at the arena from 1-3 p.m. for folks to learn more about the event. SOUP ANDA MOVIE AT TRINITY "Soup and a Movie at Trinity" is moving to Tuesdays!

"Involve groups of citizens to assist staff with reorientation and planning of services ... in the most efficient and effective manner," the BRA recommends in its final paragraph. Blake Evans Blake Evans, 22, is one of 10 young Ontario artists to win a contest and their pieces are on display at Queen's Park in Toronto until December 2017. Evans collaborated with friend Mary McPherson, 20, of Thunder Bay, on a piece depicting an Indigenous elderly woman wrapped in symbols of Ontario's heritage. It is titled, "Recognizing Worldview Through Education". Together they entered the Youth Arts Banner Contest offered by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in response to the question, "What do you love about Ontario?" The contest is held annually however this year it had a special purpose: Canada's Sesquicentennial. The Canada 150 banners are hung along the south entrance, and may be viewed in a brochure or on the website discoveryportal.ontla.on.ca and Evans are students of the Honors of Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Arts) program at Lakehead University, Thunder Bay. Evans will graduate in 2018. McPherson, who is of Anishnaabe ancestry, is in her second year. "The purpose of the piece was to emphasize gratitude for post secondary education as a means of expanding one's personal knowledge. For Mary, the post secondary experience teaches critical thinking skills and the tools for her to rediscover the philosophies of her worldview. For Blake, post secondary education offers a means of collaboration and learning from different perspectives. He also focuses on learning about his settler history as well as contemporary colonialism through art. The piece aims to synthesize two worldviews present in Ontario; the Indigenous worldview and the settler worldview. This is done by showing an appreciation for educational opportunities that are available to us," said McPherson and Evans in a joint statement. Keightley's "Hagayashi Soup" (Drift).

A humorous and heartwarming feature documentary, "Cyber -Seniors", adds to the important international conversation about the growing generation gap. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week10issue400/tabid/820/Default.aspx 3/18 6/13/2019 week 10 issue 400 ma.,. mrnFmrxrSn - - Evans collaborated with friend Mary McPherson on a piece depicting an Indigenous elderly woman wrapped in symbols of Ontario's heritage. It is titled, "Recognizing Worldview Through Education". (Submitted photos) "My world view has changed. In collaborating with Indigenous youth to say what I love about Ontario, I am strengthening my connection with the land and the Anishnaabe people. Learning from the local Indigenous people allows me to incorporate their teachings into my art to be able to communicate their ideals on a grander scale through the education system," said Evans, son of Dan and Nellie Evans, of Zurich. The piece is indicative of Evans' beliefs in reusing material to preserve the natural environment and his admiration for Indigenous culture. He travelled to Standing Rock, North Dakota, USA, in November 2016, to protest construction of an oil pipeline through a major river that supplies water to millions of people. He stood alongside Indigenous people and their supporters; listened to their prayers and solemnly promised to educate folks at home. Back home, Evans campaigned as a "water protector' on Facebook to bring awareness and at Lakehead University by posing as a river then painting his body with "oil" in a three-hour mime. He continues to speak about the need to teach young people how to live from the land and invent new ways to conserve water and energy. Evans has always taken an active interest in international art and language. He enrolled in university to study Indigenous art and teaching. He excelled in Mandarin.

Finding their footing rather quickly, the group moves on to compete for the most "YouTube" views while swiftly building their online inventory of friends. The Huron Youth + Seniors Knowledge Network was a collaborative project between Goderich District Collegiate Institute and the Goderich Place Retirement Residence where students from a Grade 10 Careers class worked with elders to teach them how iPads can be used to connect with family and friends, as well as to search out personal interests on the Internet.

RAIN GARDEN WORKSHOPS People in Bayfield and area can learn about rain gardens and their construction at two local workshops in March of 2017. Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) is hosting the two workshops. The first workshop is designed for landscape contractors and designers. It will take place on March 2 this will be followed by a rain garden workshop for homeowners on March 25. Rain gardens are shallow, sunken gardens. They protect local water quality when they collect, absorb and filter water running off of land during storms. When it rains or when snow melts, water runs off roofs, patios and driveways. Rain gardens can prevent this water, along with contaminants the runoff picks up, from draining directly into a local storm sewer or nearby watercourses. "Rain gardens provide benefits to water quality," said Healthy Watersheds Technician with ABCA, Hope Brock. "Rain gardens reduce flooding and erosion. They can also add beauty to your yard and create habitat." The first workshop, geared to landscape contractors and designers, will be held at the Bayfield Arena and Community Centre on Thursday, March 2 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The registration fee is $100 and includes lunch. Event hosts invite landscape designers, contractors and other interested cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week10issue400/tabid/820/Default.aspx 6/18 6/13/2019 week 10 issue 400 Pearson takes over from past Chair Laurence Brown who served in the role between 2007 and 2016 before retiring from the position. The SPC honored Brown for his service with a tribute at the September 2016 SPC meeting. The next regular meeting of the SPC is Wednesday, Apr. 19 at the White Carnation Hall, 79867 Parr Line, Holmesville, at 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. This meeting will be Pearson's first as provincially appointed Chair. It will also be the first meeting, as new Source Protection Program Supervisor for Geoff Cade, who takes over from Jenna Allain, past program supervisor. Allain has moved to the position of Source Protection Coordinator at Upper Thames River Conservation Authority. She made this move after having served as Program Supervisor at the Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley Source Protection Region since 2012. She had been Project Assistant, before that, since 2008 The committee will pay tribute to Allain for her past service at the April meeting. Pearson is an Environmental Planner and leads the Planning Group at B. M. Ross and Associates Limited. He is a founding member and Past Chair of the Board for the Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation. He is also a member and past officer of the Ontario Professional Planners Institute, and a former member of the Huron County Water Coalition, Huron Stewardship Council, and Friends of the Bayfield River. "it is an honor to serve as Chair of this committee," said Pearson. "I have been proud to serve with this bright and dedicated group of community members." The committee members have worked closely with people in the area to develop practical, effective, and local plans, he said. "Those plans are adding a new barrier of protection helping to keep our drinking water safe and clean," said Pearson. "We have now entered an important phase in protection of our water and we need to make sure planning policies are being implemented effectively." The new Chair added, "I would like to commend all the people in our local communities who are adding protection to our drinking water sources through positive actions at home and work." The agenda for the April meeting includes program updates, updates on monitoring of source protection plan implementation, a report on consultation on a proposed reduction in the size of the committee, from 15 to 12; reports from liaisons to the committee and a report on changes to drinking water quality standards in Ontario. Local citizens on the Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley Drinking Water SPC have worked since 2007 to create terms of reference, assessment reports and source protection plans. The Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) approved the locally developed source protection plans for the Maitland Valley and Ausable Bayfield source protection areas on Jan. 19, 2015. The source protection plans took effect in April of 2015. The plans include policies to address 21 activities that can pose a threat to municipal drinking water sources in certain circumstances (for example, in certain locations such as municipal wellhead protection areas and in certain quantities). Source protection plan policies address activities in four types of vulnerable areas: wellhead protection areas (groundwater) around municipal wells, surface water intake protection zones; significant, groundwater recharge areas and highly vulnerable aquifers. People may find the maps of these areas by visiting sourcewaterinfo.on.ca. Threat activities may be assessed as low, moderate or significant threats to municipal drinking water sources. In this region, significant threats to drinking water are only found in wellhead protection areas (WHPAs) A, B, and C. The policies in those relatively small vulnerable areas reduce risk by using tools ranging from education and outreach to risk management plans, to restricted land uses or prohibition of some activities. To find out if you are in a vulnerable area near a municipal well, use the interactive map or read a fact sheet on one of the 25 municipal well systems of the region at sourcewaterinfo.on.ca. You are invited to review the page on your community's well, consult a detailed map of wellhead protection areas, and a fact sheet to let you know about the water source and treatment, explain the wellhead protection areas, and provide ways to protect these local drinking water sources. professionals to register for the workshop with Jeff Thompson by calling 519 748-4021 or by emailing j.thompsol @bellnet.ca. "it is important to provide local contractors with the knowledge and design considerations for rain gardens," said Brock. "There is a growing awareness and need for rain gardens in southwestern Ontario. Landscape professionals can fill this need in their community." The second workshop, for homeowners, is free.
