EARTH HOUR CONCERT cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/weekl 3issue403/tabid/823/Default.aspx 1/17 6/13/2019 week 13 issue 403 Doug Vanderhaar has removed all of the old boat cradles and metal junk which littered the property. (Submitted photos) The relatively mild and snow free winter has given the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) team which is responsible for the maintenance of the newly acquired Bayfield River Flats Natural Area, the opportunity to start some of the more challenging projects that must be completed before the property's natural beauty can be truly appreciated and enjoyed. Over 225 individuals and families (almost one- quarter of the village's population) participated in the "crowd funding" which enabled the BRVTA to acquire the 4.75 acre river side property for the Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy (HLTC). "Since so many villagers have a stake in this property, we are especially determined to make certain that 'The Flats' will be transformed into a natural area that we will all be proud of," said Dave Gillians, BRVTA team member. Doug Vanderhaar has removed all of the old boat cradles and metal junk which littered the property. He has even managed to clear an area that should be suitable for parking about ten cars, once it's graded and has some gravel spread on it later this summer. This past weekend, crews from Lawrence Kornaker's company Trikor Construction, of Wallacetown, ON, used acetylene torches to cut the rusted hulk of a derelict old barge that was abandoned decades ago in the mud near the Bayfield Bridge on Hwy. 21. Bayfield River Flats supporters are all over North America. In this photo, John and Margaret Bettridge's grandson's family in Sherman, Texas are shown wearing their Bayfield River Flats t -shirts. L- Kornaker, and his crews, cut the huge old barge r: Shalyn Hagan, Halen, Abby, Aiden, Bryce and in two and with their large construction Hendrix equipment, pulled it out of the mud and water to the old roadway at the bottom of the hill on 'The Flats' beside the river. He had hoped to truck the sections of the old barge away in two parts and then weld them back together. However, the snow and ice on the surface of the roadway down to the river melted and the road proved too soft for the huge truck to use. The combination of the weight of the metal barge and the fact that it was so rusted, means that this plan will be revised. Later this spring, when the roadway down the hill to the river has dried out, Kornaker will either cut the old barge into smaller sections or use his heavy equipment to haul the pieces up the hill to the highway. Tenders were sent to six local tree cutting companies to obtain quotes to have all of the dead and damaged trees on the river flats that have been marked by Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority experts, taken down. Bayfield Tree Services was awarded the contact and they have already begun to clear some of the deadfalls. Over the next few weeks, anyone driving by the property, will probably see trucks and equipment and hear chainsaws. The Glee Sisters are once again sponsoring an Earth Hour concert at St. Andrew's United Church on March 25. The Earth Hour concert will begin with a presentation at 8 p.m. on "Being Blue", emphasizing the challenges that waste plastic presents for the ecology of rivers, lakes and oceans. Both Bayfield and Goderich have responded to this challenge by becoming "blue" communities, and Shelagh Sully and friends will explain how local residents can contribute by "being blue" in their homes, organizations and communities. At 8:30 p.m. the lights will be turned off in the church, (as they are all over the world on Earth Hour), and the Glee Sisters will sing songs about being blue, about the environment, about love and about nightfall and morning. The program will include familiar songs to sing along with. Words will be shared up on a screen so participants do not need to bring a flashlight to see in the dark. At 9:30 p.m. the lights will come back on for the choir's closing number. Admission to the Glee Sisters' Earth Hour Concert is by free will donation. Usually, the Earth Hour Concert is a fundraiser for the Bayfield Tree Committee, but fortunately this organization is well funded for the coming year. The Glee Sisters decided that instead donations from this concert would be contributed to the St. Andrew's United Music Fund, as a thank you for use of the church for rehearsals and in appreciation of recent renovations to the chancel and sound system. These renovations include cushions throughout all the pews, so those coming to Earth Hour will be even more comfortable.

And to simply "stop feeding" feral cats is both cruel, and illegal, according to the province's OSPCA Act" because it causes harm and distress to an animal. The HSFCC caregivers are not a cat rescue organization; they are caregivers who care for the colony that lives in their area. These colony caregivers are aware of several other local caregivers responsibly caring for feral cat colonies, indicating that this situation is not unique to Howard Street or Bayfield. HSFCC caregivers follow the best practice TNR protocol. This involves spay/neuter for population control; rabies and FVRCP vaccinations; anti -parasite dosing; along with registration, micro -chipping and ear -tipping for colony member identification. In late February of this year, the Howard Street Feral Cat Colony caregivers TNR'd 23 cats (using Mass TNR methods) from their own and a nearby colony. Mass TNR involves trapping, transporting and spaying/neutering approximately 15 to 30 feral cats at a time. In late February of this year, the HSFCC caregivers TNR'd 23 cats (using Mass TNR methods) from their own and a nearby colony. Mass TNR involves trapping, transporting and spaying/neutering approximately 15 to 30 feral cats at a time. HSFCC caregivers rented humane, cat -specific traps (raccoon traps sometimes kill/crush kittens), worked for three days to trap the cats, transported the cats for TNR, and provided three days of after -surgery care, before returning each cat to the outdoors. Although difficult, this TNR method is highly successful because it outpaces the colony's ability to grow through reproduction. The HSFCC caregivers receive free mass TNR services for their feral cat colony from the Toronto Humane Society (THS). The THS is a member of the Toronto Feral Cat Coalition. The HSFCC caregivers have negotiated some additional opportunities for other feral cat colony caregivers and/or cat rescues in Western Ontario to receive the same best practice TNR services for free. Shelagh Sully and friends will present "Being Blue" at 8 p.m. The lights will go out at 8:30 p.m. and those gathered will sing to celebrate our blue planet until the lights come back on at 9:30 p.m. A free will offering will be collected to support the music program at St. Andrew's in appreciation of renovations to the chancel that makes singing so enjoyable. BLUEWATER NEWS At its regular council meeting held on Monday, March 20, the Council of the Municipality of Bluewater approved in principle, subject to the receipt of the 2017 education tax rate, a 2.74 per cent tax rate increase for 2017. This tax rate represents a levy increase of 8.14 per cent. Included in this amount are non -discretionary costs (policing, conservation authority, hydro, insurance) that account for a total of 4.85 per cent or $340,531 of the levy increase. Given the impact of non -discretionary items, compiled with the municipal growth rate of 0.91 per cent, the net impact of the discretionary levy is 2.38 per cent. "Unfortunately, the municipality has no direct control over the rising costs of non -discretionary items. As a result, Council had to take a hard look at the discretionary items that they control. A 2.74 per cent tax rate increase balances taxpayers' ability to pay and service levels," said Mayor Tyler Hessel. "The municipality continues to monitor its operations to find improvements. For instance, staff is monitoring the use of hydro at its facilities and is implementing power saving initiatives to reduce the consumption of hydro."

TUTORING FUNDS vaccinated. 1 hear that if I don't find a home I will be released back to the Main Street Feral Cat Colony very soon. If you would like to learn more about adopting me please email the Bayfield Breeze and the editor will connect you to my temporary caregivers. Kole 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. 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 children were also given a tour of the greenhouses and got to see these "baby" plants getting a start. It was chilly outside on March 16 but signs of spring were definitely everywhere inside the main greenhouse at Huron Ridge Acres, north of Bayfield. On that day the greenhouse staff hosted a workshop for youngsters that got them excited about the growing season to come. Sandra Regier led about a dozen youngsters in the morning workshop on a tour of the greenhouses, through art and planting projects and also introduced them to four baby goats. The children got to take home a spring bloom as well as a pot filled with freshly planted seeds to watch sprout as the season progresses. It was the perfect selection of March Break activities to celebrate the coming of spring! A highlight of the workshop was getting to interact with four baby goats! Many of the youngsters were surprised to see just how big Huron Ridge Acres is! cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/weekl 3issue403/tabid/823/Default.aspx 13/17 6/13/2019 week 13 issue 403 The children were able to give their seeds a gentle spray of water before taking them home. The children were also given a container to plant seeds in to take home and care for. They had a choice of planting lettuce or cat grass seeds. The four workshops held at Huron Ridge were very popular and filled up fast. On March 16, youngsters were able to spend some time at Huron Ridge Acres, north of Bayfield, to participate in a workshop. One of the activities included painting a clay pot to plant an early spring flower in to take home. Rainbows were a very popular image to paint on the pots.
