COUNCILOR'S CORNER The 3rd Thursday of the month has rolled around again and that means it's time for Councilor's Corner, June 15. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week251ssue4l5/tabid/835/Default.aspx 2/19 6/13/2019 3 As w Tony Scott (Photo courtesy London Free Press) isn't able to meet his business needs. Week 25 Issue 415 "My team and I rely on high-speed fibre to meet with clients using video conferencing and to connect with web servers based all over the world," said Scott. "The nature of our work means that we can choose to work wherever we want." Just like many others in the growing cohort of successful Millennial entrepreneurs, balancing work and lifestyle is an important goal for Scott. Drawn to the lifestyle benefits and sense of community in rural Huron County, Scott wants to relocate fulltime - himself and Akira Studio headquarters - to his seasonal residence located south of the Village of Bayfield. However, the Internet service currently available to his rural residence "I know there are other people like myself who want to relocate and work from nicer surroundings like those found in Huron County - especially the Millennials who have a life ethic of not wanting to work in a fixed office during regular hours," added Scott. In April, Huron County Council partnered with Comcentric — a cooperative of local Internet service providers - to submit an application to the Government of Canada's Connect to Innovate program. The project proposes to connect 98 per cent of Huron County's population with high-speed fibre within three years. To leverage federal investment in this project, which is expected to cost a total of $31.5M, County Council has committed 22 per cent or $7M over seven years to help make it happen. "Huron County's project to expand broadband connectivity would attract highly -skilled labor and the human capital that comes along with it to rural Ontario," said Huron County Warden Jim Ginn. "However, we can't build this infrastructure alone and are calling on the federal government to partner with us." For Scott, having reliable high-speed fibre is the difference between being in business and not being in business. Huron County Council recognizes this reality and is trying to attract these entrepreneurs and grow the regional economy. "Expanding high-speed connectivity is a top priority of Council," added Warden Ginn. Home to 60,000 full-time residents, Huron County is one of the most agriculturally productive regions in Ontario. Major sectors of the local economy include agri-business, manufacturing, professional services and tourism.

Sunday, June 11, was a beautiful day in Bayfield, perhaps a little too hot for trail walking and more suited to swimming in the lake. However, several gallant hikers assembled at the start of Mavis' Trail to embark upon a Scavenger Hunt organized by members of the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA). The aim was for teams to find and collect 12 items along the trail route, ranging from Fir cones and Maple leaves to snail shells and worms. Two outstanding teams comprised Roy and Alysha, and Lindsay and Latisha van Bab. Both teams managed to find 11 of the 12 items listed, only failing to locate 'a broken egg shell'. Roy and Alysha, were declared winners, this was decided by the longest blade of grass they had found and the trophy was duly awarded. Next on the BRVTA's agenda is a hike at the Naftel's Creek Conservation Area on June 22. The winners were presented with a trophy. Starting at 9 a.m. join hike leaders for an early summer hike at Naftel's Creek Conservation Area. The Naftel's Creek trail leads through mixed conifer plantations, hardwood and wetland areas. Boardwalks allow hikers to enjoy the wetland. Hikers can watch for trout as they cross the Naftel's Creek bridge. The trail is 3 KMs long, difficulty is level 2 and the hike will take approximately 1.5 hours. Located 7 KMs south of Goderich at 79152 Bluewater Hwy between Union and Kitchigami Roads. Parking is available and all are welcome. The hike leaders will be Chris and Pam Bowers, 519 565-4605; and Dave Gillians, 519 565- 5884. acts. First to be announced is Canadian alternative country artist Sean Hogan who is set to perform on Wednesday Sept. 20th. Sean Hogan born and raised in Sarnia, released his debut album in 1996. In 2002 his third album Late Last Night was named Album of the Year by West Coast Music Awards and in 2003 he was named Roots Artist of the Year by the Canadian Country Music Association. He was nominated again for this award in 2006, 2007, and 2008. He has had seventeen music videos on CMT and in 2005 the Saskatchewan Country Music Association named him Humanitarian of the Year for his charitable work and contributions. Hogan's rising career was almost derailed in 2011 after what was thought to be a long, drawn out case of tonsillitis turned out to be stage four oral pharyngeal cancer. After six weeks of intensive chemo and radiation therapy, and six months of recovery, Hogan is now cancer -free. This experience led him to push the boundaries, play the music he wants to play, and write his latest album he named Phoenix. Hogan will be performing on Tented City's Main Stage in the morning with a second performance on the Lounge Stage later that afternoon. Advanced tickets for the IPM are being sold at every municipal office in Huron County for $15 with tickets available at the gates the day of for $18 per person.

Pet Valu sponsored the 2017 walk. Rick and Heidi Rolleman from the Barkery in Stratford had a booth set up in the park. PHOTOS AND STORY BY JACK PAL On June 4th, the 31st annual Walk for Dog Guides in Bayfield took place. The event was held in Clan Gregor Square and this year approximately 20 dogs and their owners participated in the 5 KM walk and raised over $9,100 for the National Dog Guide program. "This is something Bayfield can be really proud of. The weather gods smiled on us and helped make this event very successful," declared Lion Jack Pal, chair of the Dog Guide Walk Committee. After the walk, participants and the general public were treated to a variety of dog -related activities and presentations. Leading off the presentations was Lion Dave Overboe who provided a short history of the program and the important role it plays in the lives of people with special needs. Essex, Bayfield's popular and former Dog Guide In Training from last year was back for a visit. Deb Grasby, his foster parent during his first year, talked about his new life outside of Dog Guides. Pat Pal followed up on behalf of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program. With her own anecdotal stories of the value that this program provides to people in nursing homes or other restricted environments she made a strong case to dog owners to consider getting their own pets certified for this program. Brennan Mulhern, from the Goderich OSPCA, along with his rescue dog Shadow D, made us aware of the OSPCA's program in Huron County and the hope that in the future there might be a dog component to it. Bob Merrimen, a Bayfield Lion and organiser of the first Police K9 unit in a metropolitan Canadian city, talked about his history with the unit and shared some informative anecdotes about the duties of K9 officers. Melissa Brighton, a Vet tech with the South Huron Vet Clinic was a big hit with young and old alike as she offered prizes for correct answers to dog cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek251ssue4l5/tabid/835/Default.aspx 14/19 6/13/2019 Week 25 Issue 415 June 4th, the 31st annual Walk for Dog Guides in Bayfield took place. The event was held in Clan Gregor Square and this year approximately 20 dogs and their owners participated in the 5 KM walk and raised over $9,100 for the National Dog Guide program. Pat Pal spoke on behalf of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program as Bailey listened attentively. The Keynote presenter for a second year was Elizabeth Jaremko and her Hearing Ear dog, Heart. Through her health questions. Along the way everyone became more informed about pet health. Shannon Brennan, from Barks of Bayfield, had some very important tips on grooming and the importance of making a dog positively disposed to a crate. Judy Ives, a certified dog trainer from PETS dog training centre in Clinton had much good advice for everyone on training their dog to be the best possible pet. A lot of this involved training the owner. The Keynote presenter for a second year was Elizabeth Jaremko and her Hearing Ear dog, Heart. Through her dad Dan's interpretation of her signing, she told a heartwarming story of how having a Hearing Ear dog changed her life completely and forever. Becoming deaf immediately after birth, Elizabeth's life changed for the better when she finally was blessed with her new life partner, Heart, several years ago. Today she amazed everyone with a demonstration of all the things that Heart can do to make her life as close to normal as possible and provide her with full independence. The last event was a full canine agility demonstration by Bonnie Hirst and some of her very enthusiastic and skilled "students" from P.E.T.S. of Clinton. This presentation delighted all the dog lovers in the audience. Refreshments in the form of hot dogs rounded out the morning. The event was both entertaining and educational and helped support a very worthwhile cause. "We will continue to run our annual program in Clan Gregor Square to increase its visibility and to engage the whole community in this important project," said Jack Pal.

BRONSON LINE ZURICH, ONTARIO 519 236 7373 1519 565 7373 Melody Falconer -Pounder ] THE �i j��/T E 2018-19 SEASON SUBMISSIONS Tim Hortons — a bastion of "Canadiana" that some residents may get excited about or a sign of progress that some living in a small town may not welcome? These are the questions I put to my subscribers this week as it was recently brought to my attention that a development company out of Toronto has purchased the piece of vacant land to the south of the Bayfield Foodland and LCBO on Hwy. 21. also just learned that they have for about the last year been working with the municipality staff to get all their ducks in a row to put in a 20 -seat Tim Hortons restaurant with drive-thru, self -serve Esso station, and a convenience store all complete with an ATM. It all sounds similar to the business now operating on the edge of Blyth across from the Cowbell Brewery. Sometimes as the "journalist" in town I am the last person to know things... people either assume I already know or don't say anything for fear I will broadcast it everywhere. But I find it surprising that as it may be brought forth to council for approval Monday night, June 19th, that no one has even raised an eyebrow about it. No doubt, as awareness in the community grows, it will be a topic of discussion at Councilor's Corner tomorrow night (Thursday) at the Bayfield Community Centre starting at 7 p.m. It took us over thirty years to get public washroom facilities on Main Street, the process of redesigning the streetscape on said Main Street continues to plod along and yet in just a year there could be permission for a Tim Hortons granted for this, dare I use the word, "quaint" community. The project was on the agenda June 5th and although it can't be confirmed until later this week it looks like this may be on council's next agenda as well, so if you wish to witness the proceedings, whether in favor or otherwise, perhaps Monday night's council meeting at the Stanley Complex in Varna (start time 7 p.m.) should be on your agenda. - Melody To learn more about the proposal check out the agenda from the June 5th council meeting — starting at page 45: bluewater.civicweb.net Update - Saurday, June 17 - I have looked closely at the council agenda for June 19 and it does not appear there will be anything brought forward at the meeting regarding this development's approval.
