An Owl Prow of the Sawmill Trail is set for Friday night. (Photo by Marty Bond)
Spring is a terrific time to get out and explore local trails. The membership of the Bayfield River
Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) has planned several opportunities to encourage folks to do
just that during the month of April.
The BRVTA and the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) will be hosting an Owl
Prowl along the Sawmill Trail on Apr. 21 starting at 8 p.m.
Learn about owls and their amazing nocturnal adaptations through an engaging moonlit,
guided hike on the Sawmill Trail. Explore owl habitat, try owl calls and (if we are really lucky)
maybe see one of these amazing birds. Our target? The Eastern Screech Owl is this area's
most common owl. Its habitat ranges from woods to urban areas.
"To hear an owl hooting on a moonlit night is nothing short of magical. Then to be lucky enough
to see one; that's an experience with nature that one doesn't soon forget."
A special guest from ABCA will call out the owls. Participants should bring a flashlight, wear
warm clothes and sturdy footwear. Please leave your pets at home.
Hot chocolate will be served at the end of the hike. This should be a fun adventure for the
whole family!
The Sawmill Trail is 2 KM long and is a difficulty Level 2 although there is one large hill. The
prowl will take approximately 1.5 hours. To find the trail turn east on Old River Road, proceed
.5 KM and turn right at Sawmill Road; parking available. Donations are welcome to cover
expenses.
The hike leaders will be Roger Lewington, 519 565-2202; Roberta Stemp and Adriaan
Schreuder.
All are welcome to join in the 3rd annual Earth Day Litter Walk organized by the BRVTA to be
held on Apr. 22 from 9-11 a.m.
The BRVTA is inviting local groups and individual citizens to tidy up the village while taking a
spring stroll. Participants are asked to check in at the Pavilion at Clan Gregor Square. After
choosing a route, BRVTA event organizers will provide collection bags for garbage and
recycling and participants will then go for a walk in their chosen designated area to pick up
litter. Bags can be dropped back at the Pavilion for disposal. The BRVTA looks forward to
celebrating this worldwide, annual event with all.
For further information contact Elise Feltrin, 519 565-5852 or Helen Verekamp 519 565-5442.
Join BRVTA hike leaders at Naftel's Creek Conservation Area on Apr. 27, at 9 a.m. to explore
the trail that leads through mixed conifer plantations, hardwood and wetland areas. Boardwalks
allow hikers to enjoy the wetland, while a passage over the creek allows for a chance glimpse
of trout.

investigate meaningful change for a healthier future.
Join Pate at the library on Apr. 22 from 10:30 a.m. to
noon to learn more about the intersection between
environmental degradation and optimism.

This is a great opportunity for area residents to get to know their local product and service
providers. Exhibitors will include experts in lawn and garden, home entertainment, decor and
comfort, investments, insurance, landscaping, leisure, pest control, porches and decks, real
estate, renovations, travel and water treatment.
Also returning this year will be displays by local volunteer service and interest groups. Come

many other annual fundraising events including the Lions' Breakfast in May, Walk for Dog
Guides in June, Bayfield Calendar launch in July, a Lions' Golf Tournament in September, a
Fishing Derby in October, and a Turkey Bingo in December. In 2015 Bayfield Lions raised over
$40,000 from these events that were reinvested in the community to fund local projects such as
the washroom in Clan Gregor Square, youth and elder programs, environmental projects and
persons and families in need. The Lions' Club also runs its own building providing meeting
rooms at modest prices for childcare, local clubs, associations and interest groups.
HOME4GOOD LAUNCHES `SENIORS'
INFO HUB' AT THE LIBRARY
Tucked quietly in the corner of the Bayfield Public Library on Monday afternoons, trained
volunteers have been assisting local seniors to sort out their information needs regarding area
service providers.
Helping people learn about resources available to residents who wish to 'age in place' is the
goal of Home4Good's "Seniors' Info Hub". To celebrate the launch of the info hub, everyone is
welcome to an Open House at the library on May 1, from 1-3 p.m. Home4Good volunteers will
be on hand to talk about the project and to welcome library visitors to drop in and enjoy some
conversation and refreshments.
The Huron County Library has provided space to host the hub within the library, and library staff
has helped create a database of locally relevant materials. In addition, the Friends of Bayfield
Library have generously funded furnishings so that hub volunteers and visitors can meet
comfortably. The Seniors' Info Hub has been underway since January, allowing volunteers to
settle into the Monday routine of fielding questions and talking with library visitors. The
volunteers have also been meeting with service providers to learn more about what's available
and how recent changes announced by the Ministry of Health will affect resources available to
local residents.
The Bayfield Historical Society is happy to present
returning guest speaker and local author Bonnie
Sitter as part of their Speaker Series on Apr. 24.
Sitter has completed another book project,
"Agriculture Today: a Portrait of Family Farms in
Ontario". This 160 -page hardcover book is
subdivided into five differing sections utilizing a
combination of photos and descriptive text. This book
should appeal to all — farmers and non -farmers,
adults and children while taking the readers on an
informative journey about the importance of our
farming community.
All are welcome to attend the evening as Sitter
speaks about the creative process behind this
undertaking. The meeting will begin at 7:30 pm at the
Bayfield Lion's Community Building. Refreshments
will be served at the conclusion of the meeting and
memberships will be available for purchase or
renewal.

Week 17 Issue 407
The Seniors' Info Hub has been several years in the making. Through two years of community
consultation, Home4Good identified three priorities to assist those wishing to remain in the
Bayfield area as they age: transportation, housing and information. To help people learn more
about local resources, Home4Good hosted the "Time of our Lives" Expo: Products & Services
for the Vintage Adult, a very successful information fair held last November at the Bayfield
Community Centre. The Expo welcomed 22 exhibitors from area service providers (both for-
profit and not-for-profit) and expert presentations including advice on downsizing a home from
a professional organizing service, demonstrations by local exercise groups, and a session
about the changing role of estate executors. Those who attended confirmed the ongoing need
for current, locally relevant information about programs and services to support older people
and their caregivers in our community underscoring the need for the new Seniors' Info Hub.

People in Huron County have completed water quality projects valued at almost $9.1 million
with about one quarter of that coming from HCCWP grants. Ben Van Diepenbeek is chairman
of the project review committee. He said the success has been possible because county
council and ratepayers have shown their support for water quality, because the two
conservation authorities have been able to work closely with residents to make it easy to apply
for and complete projects, and because individual farmers, rural landowners, and community
groups have shown their commitment by completing projects.
"For every dollar invested by the county, another three and a half dollars' worth of work gets
done thanks to the additional contributions of landowners and other funding programs," said
Van Diepenbeek.

There are countless photographs of people in the Bayfield Historical Society's Archives
collection, but sadly their names were never recorded. In this section we will showcase an
image with the hopes that one of our subscribers might be able to identify the individual(s) in
the photo. Please email your information to the Editor's attention at the address listed near the
bottom of the page in "Submissions" or you can email the archivist directly at
bayarchives@tcc.on.ca or click on the image and make a comment on Flickr.
Editor's Note: We are now adding the archive's code to the information supplied with the
photographs so that if anyone would like to learn more from the Bayfield Archives about
certain pictures they can use the code to make the process easier.
This week, we feature a photo of a large gathering of people circa 1930. Does anyone recall
anything about Mrs Thomas, Don Draeger, Mrs Bonnie Rudolph, Mr 011ie Schalitz, Mrs Almer
Schalitz, Clifford Rudolph, and Mariam Almers? (Archives Code: PB10086 PC)

SCENARIO FOR A HAPPY DAY: HIGH FIVE FROM THE EASTER
BUNNY AND A BASKET FILLED WITH CHOCOLATE EGGS
lust before 1 p.m. on Apr. 16, the Easter Bunny arrived by the gazebo in Clan Gregor Square.
Parents and youngsters in the five and up section tried their best to be patient to wait for the countdown to
finish to start the hunt but it wasn't easy.
Another record-breaking crowd descended on Clan Gregor Square for the annual Easter Egg Hunt organized by
the Bayfield Optimist Club.
PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
Just before 1 p.m. on Apr. 16, the Easter Bunny
arrived by the gazebo in Clan Gregor Square.
Shortly thereafter, there was a flood of
exhurberant children clutching their baskets
running from the playground equipment toward
the hare.
The excitement of greeting and being
photorgaphed with this dapper rabbit could have
almost surpassed the scramble for eggs that
ensued at the stroke of 1 p.m. Emphasis on the
word, almost.
Optimist members tossed out about 5,000 foil -
wrapped chocolate eggs and the youngsters
vacuumed them up in short order.
An Easter Basket, including a chocolate bunny
from Culbert's Bakery in Goderich, was raffled off
to help cover the costs of the event. This prize
was won by Travis Saunders. of Bayfield, much to
the delight of his parents.
Fifteen minutes after it all began the annual hunt
was over. Happy families left the park with their
children's baskets filled with chocolate delights
and the bunny hopped away and just in time too
as the sunshine, gentle breeze and warm
temperatures that greeted the hunt were soon
replaced by a cold front and some spring
showers.
The excitement of greeting and being photorgaphed with
this dapper rabbit could have almost surpassed the
scramble for eggs that ensued at the stroke of 1 p.m.

The hunt went off at the perfect time as storm clouds rolled in shortly after.
The frenzy for chocolate was evident on the "senior" side of the park.
Optimist members tossed out about 5,000 foil -wrapped chocolate eggs and the youngsters vacuumed them up
in short order.
Bridget Shanahan celebrated her first Easter with the
bunny of the hour and mom Jenny Allan.
Aidhan Kleuskens, of Goderich, had to show the Easter
Bunny his light sabre.

Egg hunting can be serious business.
Part of the fun of attending the annual Easter Egg Hunt is
getting into the spirit of the event by dressing up!
Someone gave in to temptation before the hunt was over.

So last night I got to release my inner artist and took part in a Paint Night Fundraiser for Bayfield Guiding. It was so much fun to
watch a distinctive flower emerge from the canvas. We were all given the same instructions, the same paint colors and the
same tools but just like in nature no two flowers were alike.
It was a great night of self-expression and social art -working! So if you get a chance to sign up for a paint night I highly
recommend it! - Melody
