GHZLS GETAWAY WEEKEND cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week221ssue4l2/tabid/832/Default.aspx 1/19 6/13/2019 week 22 Issue 412 The Singers' popular gala Cabaret Concert, Dinner and Auction is coming up on May 27 at the Varna Complex, on Mill Road just west of the village. Doors open at 6 p.m. with dinner starting at 6:30 p.m. Browse our fantastic silent auction before dinner while imbibing on Huron -brewed libations from the bar. Then, enjoy our signature full course meal and desserts. Emcee Duncan McGregor guarantees an interesting evening as he regales you with Canadian trivia contests, prizes and exciting raffles. All that and music too! "Huron Shores and Beyond" will feature the eclectic stylings and original Huron -bred music of our guest musicians Reynolds, Robinson & Lodge. They may sound like a law firm, but in fact they are a Goderich musical trio consisting of Mike Reynolds, Warren Robinson and John Lodge. Reynolds, Robinson & Lodge offer an eclectic blend of original acoustic folk music, with influences from Bluegrass, Jazz, Celtic and Country. Critics claim their music is "clean, crisp and smooth — not unlike a fine beer" with a "fabulous blend of instrumentals and vocals". The long-time friends have played together in various formats and musical styles for a long time, but over the past few years, Reynolds was inspired to really appreciate the banjo as a lead instrument. He began letting many original tunes he'd been keeping in his head flow freely, and his original musical compositions became the trio's main focus. The group's new format began to make public appearances during 2014 while further honing Reynold's tunes and preparing to record their first CD "Into the Wind". Released in June 2015 it quickly sold out Their second CD "Haze Around the Moon" was recorded at the Livery Theatre in Goderich this past December. It will not be officially released until June 10. But those attending the Cabaret Concert will get an early sneak peak at some of the offerings their new album will have in store and even get an opportunity to purchase their music. The Blyth Festival Singers will also pay tribute to music from this area, music both near to Huron's shoreline and far beyond. Artistic director and conductor, Sharon Poelstra, has put together a musical program that features the full choir and smaller ensembles. Seating for this event is limited so reserve your seat soon. For a full course meal and concert, tickets are a bargain at $30 for adults and $15 for children ages six to 12. Call 519 482-9265 or 519- 82-9306 for ticket availability. The Blyth Festival Singers are a community based choral organization under the umbrella of the Blyth Centre for the Arts.

"HELP YOUR SELF" TO SEAN MCCANN CONCERT TICKETS Shan McCann, co-founder of the internationally renowned band, Great Big Sea, has spent the last 20 years entertaining audiences across the world. Today his mantra is 'Help Your Self', breaking the silence on his past addiction, abuse and using music to change his life for the better. "I stopped drinking five years ago and once I sobered up I realized what really needed to change," he said. "Great Big Sea was the biggest party band out there, living the every - night -is -Friday -night routine, the same songs every night. If you're an artist, that life can kill you. I loved the band but I knew I had to get out." That decision, though, brought old demons out of the dark. "I started to write songs to make sense of everything...and I felt very much alone. " Sean McCann (Photo by David Howells) McCann recalled about making his 2015 album 'Help Your Self'. "When I put the record out, the response was huge. Fans said, I know that song - that song is my brother or that song is my mother — or that song is me. That was a great leap forward for me, because I learned I wasn't alone. We're not alone." The Ashwood Bourbon Bar - Friday and Saturday noon to 3 p.m. 'Tiki-inspired' BBQ party - Sunday New Orleans -Style Brunch • The Red Pump - Friday night 5-7 p.m. "Wear Your Red Pumps" wine -tasting party • DaVinci's - Friday and Saturday night'Salsa and Sangria' party • Lake Huron Sewing Company - Saturday 11 a.m. to noon - Terrarium -building demonstration by the Little Shed Flower Company Attendees are asked to call the restaurants and hotels directly to reserve.

In the off-season, Newland has been touring with a five -piece band, "Uncharted Waters", presenting a show he calls "The Northwest Passage in Story and Song". Weaving together stories, songs, photographs, and video, the show has sold out venues across the province including the Bruce County Museum in Southampton in August 2016. In 2017, the Bayfield Town Hall is one of the venues set to host the production on May 28 at 7:30 p.m. In 2015, Newland was named a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, whose mandate is "to make Canada better known to Canadians and the cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week221ssue4l2/tabid/832/Default.aspx 3/19 6/13/2019 week 22 Issue 412 McCann has found himself using music as therapy, working with people who face physical, mental, and addiction challenges, and has become a sought after motivational speaker trying to help others to help themselves find light through the darkness. His journey to find his own peace, love, and happiness continues through his new music and sharing that with others. And now he's out on the road again, touring intimate venues with multi -instrumentalist Chris Murphy, playing some Great Big Sea favorites and new uplifting songs. "I really don't have to be in front of 10,000 people again," he said. "I'll play for people in an intimate place like the Bayfield Town Hall and I'm happier. Being a Newfoundlander, I love the water and I'm looking forward to coming back to Lake Huron." "An Intimate Evening with Sean McCann" is set for June 4 at the Bayfield Town Hall.

GRANTS AVAILABLE TO CREATE RAIN GARDENS IN VILLAGE There has been a lot of interest in rain gardens in Bayfield with recent workshops and demonstration gardens at Pioneer Park. Homeowners in Bayfield are now encouraged to apply for funding to help install these gardens on their properties. "Local people suggested rain gardens as a management solution for dealing with urban runoff in the community-based Main Bayfield Watershed Plan," said Hope Brock, Healthy Watersheds technician with Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). "Now homeowners have this great opportunity to install a rain garden and help protect Lake Huron." The Huron County Clean Water Project and the Municipality of Bluewater, through its Blue Flag initiative, have provided funding. The Blue Flag is an international designation awarded to beaches and marinas that meet certain criteria like water quality. The Bayfield Main Beach has flown the Blue Flag since 2010. Funding assistance will cover 50 per cent of the cash costs up to a maximum of $500 per rain garden. There is a limited amount of funding available for a limited number of projects. Bayfield homeowners interested in receiving funding to create a rain garden on their property should contact a local landscape professional who has received a Landscape Ontario endorsed rain garden certificate (visit the ABCA rain gardens page at this link: abca.on.ca/page.php?page=rain-gardens). Once the contractor has provided a plan and a quote for the garden, the homeowner will need to contact ABCA staff for a site visit to complete the application, which is available online. Grants, subject to approval, are paid out upon the satisfactory completion of the rain garden. Homeowners can apply for funding without a contractor, but preference is given to the applications that use a certified contractor. 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 Brock. "Rain gardens reduce flooding and erosion, and they can also add beauty to your yard and create habitat." THIRTY SIX SPECIES OF BIRDS COUNTED ON RIVER FLATS HIKE world." Newland says that mission is especially important in 2017. "To me Canada 150 means it's high time to hear our own stories," he said. Uncharted Waters, Newland's folk -roots ensemble features Steafan Hannigan, Saskia Tomkins and Oisin Hannigan, of Clan Hannigan; and Sam Allison, of Lotus Wight as well as Sheesham & Lotus & Son.

(Photos by Jack Pal) About 30 people from Bayfield joined eight members of the Stratford Field Naturalists (SFN) for a hike through the Bayfield River Flats on May 9. It was a beautiful sunny but cool morning. The Bayfield River Flats has about 1,200 feet of river frontage right at the Bayfield Bridge in the village. It was acquired by the Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy (HTLTC) through a fundraising effort by the community and led by the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association. Hikers noted that many improvements have been made already; hazardous dead trees have been cut and small trees have been planted. Much junk has been removed but a large barge had been abandoned on the property. It has been cut up and will be removed. A program is in place to control Giant Hogweed and Japanese Knotweed. The trails are beginning to be improved. Steve Thorpe recorded 36 species of birds. Notable were Orioles, Grosbeaks, and a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker. "Some of us were lucky enough while watching a pair of Flickers to see a Merlin land while the Flickers dove for cover," said Don Farwell, a member of the HLTC and of the Bayfield River Flats Management Team. Following the hike, organizers provided coffee and cookies that was much appreciated by the members of the SFN.

HURON CENTENNIAL SCHOOL REUNION Fifty years ago, 600 students entered the doors of Huron Centennial School at Brucefield for their first day.

DISTRIBUTION CENTRE CUTS RIBBON ON WALK-IN FREEZER MPP Lisa Thompso (second from left) and Judy Keightley (centre left), a volunteer from the OTF, offered their congratulations and joined in the ribbon -cutting with municipal dignitaries and Huron County Food Bank Distribution Centre members. (Submitted photo) Recently, MPP for Huron -Bruce Lisa Thompson met with the staff and volunteers with the Huron County Food Bank Distribution Centre (HCFBDC) to cut the ribbon on its new walk-in freezer. Thanks to a $50,400 capital grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF), made in late 2015, the Distribution Centre was able to buy and install the new equipment. MPP Thompson and Judy Keightley, a volunteer from the OTF, offered their congratulations and joined in with the ribbon -cutting with municipal dignitaries and HCFBDC members. "No one should ever have to live wondering where their next meal is coming from, and the efforts of the Huron County Food Bank ensure that everyone has access to nutritious, healthy food when needed. I'm glad to see the improvements being done to the freezer at their distribution centre in Centralia. It will ensure that those who benefit from the service will continue to have access to food at all times," said MPP Thompson. The HCFBDC's purpose is to support the existing food banks. It channels large food donations in a free-flowing fashion to the local community food banks. Huron County is large and diverse, "Signage should be put in place immediately with reduced speed limits," MacDougall wrote in his letter dated Apr. 21. "Introduction of removable speed bumps would also be appropriate but the introduction of a 'roundabout' or traffic circle would be inappropriate." He concluded his letter by asking "council to act quickly to reduce the existing hazard and your own liability."

Organizers extend thanks to all who supported this worthy cause and hope those who purchased hanging baskets and patio pots from Huron Ridge Greenhouses will enjoy them this summer. Proceeds from the sales will support "Kintail on the Road", a day camp for cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week22issue4l2/tabid/832/Default.aspx 9/19 6/13/2019 week 22 Issue 412 relying on the local food bank to know the immediate needs of their own area. When the HCFBDC receives donations of food from farmers and food producers, it acts as a clearing- house, dividing the large donations into usable portions, then distributing to the food banks that have need of the products. It helps with the extras such as fresh produce, dairy and meat as well as dry goods. The local food banks continue to count on individual donations for their basic needs.

It identifies shoreline hazards for flooding, erosion, and dynamic beaches and their impact on shoreline development. ABCA started a process in 2015 to update technical information to support updates to the 2000 SMP document. The 2017 open houses will provide information on the existing plan and current policies as well as an update on the progress of technical work for future updates. (The review of local development policies contained in the SMP 2000 is not expected until 2018, according to ABCA.) Updates to the Shoreline Management Plan will provide a consistent and up-to-date guide for development and municipal land use planning along the shoreline. Updates will provide newer information on shoreline recession rates, ensure that local policies and application of the Regulation conform to Province of Ontario policy, and keep policies current in light of emerging land use trends.

A lot can happen in just 14 days and it would appear to have all come into my email inbox. As I prepared this week's issue, and incidentily a good part of next week's issue too, I couldn't help but experience a bit of a sinking feeling. It appeared that my inbox counter was broken as no matter how many emails I addressed the number seemed stuck at 55 to go. Eventually the number started decreasing, I sorted through the melee, and a good selection of submissions made it into this week's issue. If the article or photos you sent in do not appear this week do not fret and do not frown because they will be featured in an upcoming issue. I sorted through so that time sensitive stories took precedent this week. Once we get caught up I will regale you with a tale or two from our adventures in iceland and Sweden. It was a terrific way to ring in my fifth decade and I wouldn't trade the trip for anything not even a few less emails to read.- Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome. Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m. Please email me at bayfield.breeze@villageofbayfield.com or call 519-525-3830.
