BLUEWATER NEWS The Municipality of Bluewater sends best wishes to Acting Economic Development Coordinator, Erin Samuell, who will be departing from her position effective Feb. 1 to return to freelance and project based work. "We extend our sincerest thanks to Ms. Samuell for her hard work and dedication to the Municipality. We wish her well in her feature endeavors," said Bluewater CAO Kyle Pratt. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week6issue396/tabid/816/Default.aspx 1/11 6/13/2019 week 6 issue 396 John McLeod, of MCL Sound and Production in Clinton, has always been fascinated with sound and has really concentrated in the last few years on perfecting sound quality. It is a passion evident in the equipment he has purchased and has also built with his own hands. One could say that John McLeod was born with an ear for sound. He remembers that at seven years of age he was given his first record, an Elvis Presley album, and he listened to it on a small record player made primarily out of plastic. His musical taste would evolve overtime as would his sound equipment. He has a passion for perfecting sound, which includes crafting his own equipment, and now he hopes to share what he hears with others through "MCL Sound and Production". Some may recognize the name "MCL Sound" as McLeod started his own DJ business back in 1995 with good friend Shawn DeJong. They did a myriad of buck and does and weddings. They were the fellows to call for the tunes needed to enhance any celebration. "The first system I built was installed in Tom's Place in Clinton. The first band that utilized it was The Ashgrove. I've also provided sound for such groups as Doug and the Slugs, See Spot Run, Danko Jones and IROX," he said. McLeod not only has an ear for music he can play it as well, as the drummer for the band IROX, a group name that the area hair band lovers of the 80s and 90s will identify. Classic Rock mixed with original compilations was the order of the day. McLeod built the public address system for the band to cut out one of the expenses that they would have otherwise had when out performing. The boys in the band, Al Chesney, Richard Swirklis and Rob Fletcher, are now in their fifth decade and reunited a couple of years ago to perform a concert for their mutual 50th birthdays an extravaganza that has since evolved in a comeback for the group and resulted in the launch of McLeod's new business. In addition to DJ services MCL Sound and Production can provide sound, production and lights for any event imaginable, corporate, family celebrations, concerts and festivals. They can run the system or simply provide it. "I want to do big events with multiple stages. I am not afraid of a challenge," said McLeod. In fact, his is one of three business that have placed a bid for the International Plowing Match to be held in Walton, ON in September and hopes he will be hired to provide the sound and production necessary to run the seven stages at the weeklong event. "With the creation of area music festivals, like the Celtic Festival in Goderich, people are dancing in the streets again and one of the reasons I started this business is because I hated knowing that organizations have to hire people from outside the area, companies from London or Toronto, to bring in their sound equipment when they could get it right here locally," said McLeod. "I of course want to make money but I want to save these organizations some money too. With a local company they don't have to pay for travel expenses or accommodations for a crew. We can save them that part of the fee." Since Samuell joined the team in Bluewater, she has interacted and assisted multiple community groups in achieving their goals, created multiple community- based websites and launched the municipality's social media platforms. The Municipality of Bluewater is planning to move forward in Economic Development and has posted a listing for applicants for the position here: municipalityofbluewater.ca COAST CO WORKSHOP The Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation (LHCFCC) is a non-profit organization founded in 1998 with the goals of protecting and restoring Lake Huron's coastal environment and promoting a healthy coastal ecosystem.

The promise was made to home owners who packed Bluewater Council meeting held on Jan 23. Homes within 500 meters of the three sites can not be sold or altered until the sites can be proven safe from contamination. Within the past month the residents learned their homes were under a sales quarantine. Councilor Bill Whetstone claimed their problem was a liability threat for the municipality. Deputy -mayor Jim Fergusson agreed. He compared it to the Hensall land -fill problem which contaminated a fish spawning stream. Deb Penhale and Cal Scotchmer were spokespersons for the Bayfield home owners. Both stressed the need for fast action. Fergusson said Bluewater would get the three sites tested. Mayor Tyler Hessel said council would have to find money to pay for the testing. Penhale reminded him it was impossible for any of the homeowners to sell their property while their 100 homes are under the quarantine restrictions. The idea of buying a Bayfield fire truck with an extension ladder brought some quick reaction from some councilors last week. A development plan prepared by Watson and Associates Economists predicts apartment growth for Bayfield within 10 years. This could bring a need for a Bayfield ladder truck. Whetstone blurted, "Where is this idea of three -and -four storey apartment buildings for Bayfield coming from?" Councilor John Gillespie said the idea was controversial because it suggested Bayfield wanted to grow fast. Whetstone added, "We have to decide where we want to go" before any new development takes place. Figures used in the Watson report forecasting growth in Bayfield and the rest of Bluewater ranged around one per cent per year. Farm population showed a declining growth. SOUTH HURON FIRST CANADIAN SCHOOL FOR ACTIVE MINDS The stress levels of high school students in Perth and Huron Counties are set to rise over the next couple of weeks, as they delve into exams. The teen years present many challenges and new situations, and exams add to any existing anxiety. "Exams are an incredibly stressful time," said Ryan Miller, a South Huron District High School (SHDHS) student. "You have two hours to show everything you've learned, so if you're already struggling with mental health issues or other pressures, the anxiety and nerves can really work against you." Miller is a mental health advocate and responsible for starting the first Canadian high school chapter of Active Minds. "So many people struggle with mental illness, such as anxiety and depression, and have to suffer in silence because of the stigma against discussing Mental Wellness. Active Minds helps students in the school feel more open about discussing these feelings, and helping them to be mentally fit in our educational system." Recently, Active Minds received a Youth in Action grant from United Way Perth -Huron to bring Mental Health Awareness speakers to the school and conduct activities and events to help break the negative stigma. WARDEN'S CAUCUS County of Simcoe Warden Gerry Marshall has been elected as the Western Ontario Wardens' Caucus (WOWC) Chair during the organization's Annual General meeting in Guelph, ON on Jan. 20. "I am honored to have been elected to the position of Chair by my peers from across Southwestern Ontario and I look forward to helping drive our collective goals forward," said Warden Marshall. "One of our main items for WOWC over the next two years will be strengthening our role in economic development. Accomplishing this will take co-operation among all levels of government as we continue to seek funding and partnership opportunities to grow the success of Southwestern Ontario." Prior to his election, Warden Marshall served as Vice Chair of the WOWC, and Chair of the Southwestern Integrated Fibre Technology (SWIFT) committee. Throughout 2015, Warden Marshall worked closely with members of the WOWC to garner support for SWIFT from the private sector and other levels of government that culminated in a $180 million funding commitment from the federal and provincial governments in July 2016. Also appointed at the annual general meeting were: Mayor Randy Hope, Mayor of Chatham -Kent to the office of Vice Chair; Kelley Coulter, CAO of Bruce County as Treasurer; and Mark Aitken, CAO of Simcoe County as Secretary. The Western Ontario Wardens' Caucus is a not-for- profit organization representing 15 upper and single tier municipalities in Southwestern Ontario with more than three million residents. Its purpose is to enhance the prosperity and overall wellbeing of rural and small urban communities across the region. For more information, visit wowc.ca.

Connect Youth is a website that provides options for youth to make healthy decisions for their lives and to find community services in Perth and Huron County that can help them. Concerns ranging from complexion and weight, to family challenges, pregnancy, violence, bullying, and health related fears — issues both small and large can be searched in an easy format to connect them to the appropriate services that can help. Erb said, "During exams and really anytime of the year, this website is such a valuable resource. Youth can remain empowered, searching the information themselves and finding the help they need." The service can be found at http://connectyouthperthhuron.ca/ Miller offered for other high schools to contact him if they wanted to start a chapter of their own at their high school. "I would be more than happy to help others out with the process — it is truly worth the time and effort to have this resource at your school," Miller. He can be contacted through SHDHS.

Those who have driven by the access point to the Flats near the Bayfield Bridge, will notice that a new sign is on the gate and that a pedestrian path beside the barrier has been cut out to enable walkers to go down to the river or check on progress. The gate will be closed this winter to stop vehicles from going down to the river and getting stuck in the mud. January's warm weather has allowed Doug Vanderhaar to use his backhoe to remove over 30 old boat cradles and other large debris. According to BRVTA Flats' management team member, Dave Gillians, "The Flats are muddy but the "bones" of the property are really starting to show. After the dead and dangerous trees are removed later this spring, we will all have a much better idea of just how beautiful this village treasure is. The land is now owned by the Huron Land Trust Conservancy 'In Trust' for the Village of Bayfield and was purchased with funds collected from the community during the Bayfield River Flats campaign held in late 2016.

The internet tells me that Edmund Burke (1729-1797) who said, "those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it" so with this in mind I take some solace in voices from our past – two of our Prime Ministers – one Conservative the other Liberal. No playing favorites here. They both had something to say that should be remembered not just in these days when so many are reaching for a life -ring but even when the waters are calm. - Melody 1 am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what 1 believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country.
