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. 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. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week11 issue401/tabid/821/Default.aspx 1/19 6/13/2019 week 11 issue 401 This Bayfield kitten was recently adopted. STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER PHOTOS SUBMITTED Bayfield has a feral cat colony on Main Street. Over the winter a small group of volunteers have organized a Trap -Neuter -Release (TNR) program for the village's "Forgotten Felines" and some of the more fragile among the colonies have found forever homes after a little Tender - Loving -Care (TLC). The word "feral" is used to define a cat that lives outdoors. It essentially does not belong to anyone. Feral cats are the result of a domestic cat being abandoned or lost and left to fend for itself. The offspring of the domestic (now considered feral) cat are usually never handled by people and become terrified. Luckily this feral kitten now has a forever family. Two felines at the veterinary hospital in London. Volunteers have been informed that the Municipality of Bluewater is unable to provide financial support or any assistance with the TNR efforts at this time so they are currently seeking financial support from area residents. The volunteers have made arrangements with a Veterinary Hospital in London to have cats neutered/spayed for approximately $60 each and have been funding the project mostly by themselves. In addition, travel costs are adding up for Please bring refillable water bottles and/or coffee/tea containers. 1�iY17 7 M 1 MIND$] \•� 117 Christians, both men and women, in more than 170 countries and in 2,000 communities across Canada gather to learn about, pray, and celebrate in solidarity with the women of the Philippines through the World Day of Prayer. "Am I Being Unfair to You" is the theme of the World Day of Prayer to be held one week later than usual, March 10, in Bayfield at St. Andrew's United Church. The service will begin at 2 p.m. This event is hosted by a different church each year but includes participants from all the local churches. Women from a different country create the program each year. For 2017, an opportunity to learn about the joys and struggles faced by those living in the Philippines will be shared. All are welcome to attend and join downstairs afterwards for refreshments. In keeping with the Philippine theme, this year Pineapple Upside Down Cake will be served!

As a result, volunteers are hoping that people might like to sponsor a "Forgotten Feline" by providing a financial gift. Financial contributions may be made at Shopbike Coffee. To date 20 cats on Main Street have been trapped and with financial support the TNR initiative can continue. Most recently a three year-old female who had lost most of her teeth due to malnutrition and a 3 month-old male tabby were trapped. After neutering and a week of intense home care the tabby will be adopted. The female will be housed for a longer period of time to allow for healing and "fattening up". Anyone who might also consider adopting a "Forgotten Feline" of Bayfield should contact the Bayfield Breeze and your contact information will be passed on to volunteers. Luna was rescued off the streets of Bayfield in November. NEW RECORD RATE FOR TAXES BY KEN LARONE The 2017 taxes in Bluewater are expected to be $570,000 higher than the record rate set last year. The increase comes before Huron County Council establishes its taxes and the school boards knows their needs. Together the three groups form the total tax rates for Bluewater taxpayers. Bluewater Council will hold a public meeting Mar. 20 at the Varna Council chambers to justify their reasons for another increase this year. At council's special tax meeting last week, it agreed to restore Bayfield arena roof for $90,000. The restoration comes with a five-year guarantee and a likely life span of 10 years. To totally replace the roof was estimated at $206,000. Council withheld a decision to extending ice in the area for another three seasons. Last month the Bayfield Arena Community Partners Association (BACPA) asked council to extend their use of the rink for another three years. In the last three years the BACPA successfully added thousands of dollars to ice rentals and proved their value to Bayfield and council. Councilor Bill Whetstone says it would be unfair to close the ice rink now knowing The BACPA expected it to be available. Council did approve $40,000 to investigate three old dumps that possibly are leaking methane gas in the south-east area of Bayfield. Approximately 100 homes within a 500 -meter radius of the sites can't be sold or altered until the methane or other toxic substances are removed. Last month two of the homeowners in the restricted area, Deb Penhale and Cal Scotchmer, asked council to quickly clean-up the restrictions on the dump properties. The possible threat from the three dumps prevent owners from listing or selling their homes, refinancing their property and possibly insuring it. Whetstone says he will focus on the Bluewater budget at the meeting of his Councilor's Corner on March 16 in the Bayfield Community Centre at 7 p.m. "Soup and a Movie at Trinity" has moved to Tuesdays! The congregation of Trinity Anglican Church welcomes the community to join in fellowship over a hearty bowl of soup while delighting in a great cinematic work.

Volume 8 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. The workshop will be held from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the Bayfield Town Hall. Homeowners will learn about design, construction, native plants, and a grant program. Homeowners who would like to install a rain garden on their property are eligible to apply for funding to help them thanks to support from the Bluewater Beach Committee (Municipality of Bluewater, Huron County Health Unit, Pioneer Park Association and Ausable Bayfield Conservation). Event hosts invite homeowners to register for the March 25 workshop with Hope Brock by calling 519 235-2610 or toll-free at 1-888-286-2610 or emailing hbrock@abca.on.ca. Event planners ask people to register before March 17.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER It is awards season and the members of the Bayfield Skating Club joined in the spirit by hosting the 2017 Bayfield Music Awards as the theme of their skating carnival on Feb. 25 at the Bayfield Arena. The approximately 30 members of the Bayfield Skating Club gave an uplifting and empowering performance to a crowd of about 100 people during the afternoon carnival. Both Junior and Senior skaters presented their solo numbers as well as a couple of group interpretive pieces. In addition, Canskaters took part in group numbers under the direction of Senior skaters and the crowd delighted in watching their achievements. The closing number, which included both Junior and Senior skaters, was set to the music "Forever Country" and proved that the Bayfield club has many talented young performers. They've got skills! The grand finale marked Canada's 150th birthday with all levels of skaters taking to the ice with their coaches for a few rings around the arena waving Canada flags and dressed in the prerequisite red and white attire while the spectators offered up a standing ovation. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week11 issue40l /tabid/821/Default.aspx 11/19 week 11 issue 401 The Bayfield Skating Club's Junior and Senior Skaters joined together for a closing numbei set to the ,i "Forever Country".

They were my friends and playmates growing up on a dairy farm. No matter how hard I tried couldn't convince my mother to allow me to have a cat in the house so I spent many hours up in the hayloft in the barn watching kittens frolic in the sunbeams that danced through the barn boards. When I got married I was blessed with an instant family: a husband, two teens, a dog and two cats. As our lives together evolved so did our menagerie and for a long time we were a multiple cat household and to her credit Mother held her tongue when she came to visit and one or two would race across the dining table. They were mostly well behaved but sometimes spirited little creatures that got along with one another and loved as much as they were loved. The majority of these felines lived in access of 15 years. In fact one remains and is determinedly approaching his second decade. Until he passes we have a moratorium on bringing any new cats in to the house but the struggle to remain strong is real especially when I see that the village has at least one feral cat colony that people are trying to help. Trapping, neutering and releasing is an idea that has worked in other communities. When we were in France a couple of springs ago we discovered the "chats" of Gavarnie — "owned" by no one but cared for by all who lived in the village. Just $60 could help volunteers in Bayfield help control the cat population one feline at a time. Donations are now being accepted at Shopbike Coffee on Main Street. Of course it would be even nicer if these cats could get off the streets and find forever homes. Anyone who would like to pursue adopting a Forgotten Feline of Bayfield should email me here at the Bayfield Breeze and I will get your info where it needs to go. And perhaps the most important thing residents and visitors to Bayfield can do is not abandon a kitten once it becomes a cat, whether it is neutered or not. Cats that aren't "fixed" can produce up to three litters a year and some can have as many as eight kittens in a litter. You do the math! Abandonment is more than likely the root of the village problem. I know this first hand — as this is how we became a multiple cat household all those years ago when a couple of litters "fell" on our doorstep! — Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
