Post retirement he and his wife Flo relocated to Clinton where the Reverend has enjoyed pulpit supply in numerous churches since that time.

(Submitted photo) Week 27 Issue 417 UNICORNS, MERMAIDS AND TURKISH DELIGHTS AWAIT AT PURPLE PEONY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Please contact the Bayfield Breeze if you are interested in adopting one (or two) of this adorable trio. Thanks to dedicated volunteers 31 cats from the feral cat colony on Main Street have now been through the Trap -Neuter -Release (TNR) program and several of them have found forever homes. 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. Financial support from area residents for the TNR program is always appreciated. The volunteers have made arrangements with a Veterinary Hospital in London to have the cats neutered/spayed for 7 f1 approximately $60 each. Funds support this effort as well as travel costs for volunteer drivers. Those who Cheri Shaver, owner of The Purple Peony, couldn't be happier with her new location at 8 Main Street North in Bayfield. Known for her delightfully whimsical infant's and children's clothing and toys the larger space has allowed her to expand her adult line, including stuffed creatures with grown up appeal. These include: Ostriches, Flamingos and Owls, oh my! (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) As of this spring, The Purple Peony has a new home on the village's Main Street in the building that is also home to Lake Huron Realty and Coopenhagens. Owner Cheri Shaver is very happy with her new location. She noted, "Traffic has doubled." And as one customer exclaimed as she was checking out, "You have so many adorable things." In fact, local kids have renamed the shop, "The Unicorn Store" in homage to the giant unicorn shaped pool float hanging off the front porch and the large stuffed unicorn that has been incorporated into the window display. The Purple Peony has become known as the place to go for activities to keep the children occupied while visiting the beach or when looking for that perfectly unique children's or baby gift but the new larger space has afforded Shaver the opportunity to expand her adult line including a variety of hats, sunglasses and fair trade, Alpaca shawls, ponchos and blankets that are machine washable and made in Ecuador. She also has a retro line of activities that are proving to be "nostalgia for the adults" and suitable for family time away from devices. And wish to sponsor a "Forgotten Feline" by providing a financial gift may do so at Shopbike Coffee on Main Street.

OPEN HOUSE INFO FOR SHORELINE MANAGEMENT PLAN NOW ONLINE Presenting at the second of two public information open houses on shoreline management were, from I -r: Dr. Robin Davidson -Arnott, professor Emeritus, University of Guelph, and Coastal Engineer Fiona Duckett, M.Sc., P. Eng., of W. F. Baird and Associates Coastal Engineers Ltd. They are shown with Deputy Mayor Doug Cook, of the Municipality of Lambton Shores, and Geoffrey Cade, supervisor of Water and Planning with Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). Cook, a member of the ABCA Board of Directors, chaired the June 17 open house in Thedford, and Cade answered questions from the public that related to current policies in the Shoreline Management Plan (2000) and technical work as part of the 2015-2018 update of the existing plan. (Submitted photo) Approximately 220 people showed their interest in the local shoreline by attending two Shoreline Management Plan Public Information Open Houses in June. The events took place in Zurich and Thedford and were hosted by Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). Staff members answered questions at mapping stations and displays. The ABCA staff shared information on topics such as water quality issues and community actions to improve water quality; Lake Huron water levels; the effects of a changing lake for cohesive bluffs and dynamic beach systems; how average annual recession rates are measured and mapped along the shoreline; current local and provincial policies; and how lakeshore hazards such as flooding and erosion are determined in the current Shoreline Management Plan (2000). Attendees also heard presentations from Dr. Robin Davidson -Arnott, Professor Emeritus, University of Guelph, and coastal engineer Fiona Duckett, M.Sc., P. Eng., of W. F. Baird and has accepted the CAO position with the County of Lennox & Addington in Eastern Ontario. "I'm really proud of the cultural changes that we've made in Huron County and of the working relationship we've built between staff and council. This relationship is based on trust, honesty, transparency and mutual respect. Staff and Council build on each other's ideas to make the best decisions for rate payers," said Orchard. "I'm looking forward to working with the Council and staff in Lennox & Addington as the next chapter in my career." Orchard has been the Huron County CAO for over four years and has spearheaded several organizational improvements that have ranged from workplace culture to the County's approach to economic development. "Brenda has been a wonderful leader within our organization and for Huron County, and we're thrilled for her as she accepts this new role," said Warden Jim Ginn. "Council and staff are in a very good position going forward, thanks to Brenda." Orchard will transition to the new role in August and the search for a new CAO will begin shortly. CELEBRATE 1-5-0 THROUGH STORIES What a tale could be told by many items from the past! A collection of historical items will be on display at the REACH Centre in Clinton on July 7-8 as part of the 1-5-0 celebrations in Central Huron. Items that have resided not far from Bayfield will be on display. There will also be several stories that have been shared just for this occasion. The story was told that when an orchard was being planted in 1918, the young man invited several neighbours in to assist with the task with the added bonus that he would share some beer at the end of the day. When the man brought the helpers in for lunch, his mother took him aside and sternly indicated that he was to dispose of the beer and expressed her displeasure. The neighbors heard this sad discourse and when outside held out their mugs and suggested he pour slowly. Find out whom the owner of that orchard was and what the next few generations remember about the storage shed by visiting the display. A great way to celebrate this country's sesquicentennial would be to bring children and grandchildren to see how people communicated a century ago, or how they stored things over winter, or what a school desk was like in a one room school. The historical display will be open from 3-8 p.m. on Friday, July 7 followed by fireworks and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 8. Items that have a story can be added to the display. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week271ssue4l7/tabid/838/Default.aspx 9/17 6/13/2019 Week 27 Issue 417 Associates Coastal Engineers Ltd.

Regional engagement will continue, as the project will only proceed with interested communities, potentially affected First Nation and Metis communities, and surrounding communities working in partnership to implement it.

No worries... he has some experience having once helped to organize the Bayfield Optimist Village Fireworks Displays in days of yore. had so much fun taking pictures with the Mommas and Sesquicentennial babes for our cute celebratory feature this week... hopefully, the little ones in the group who were born this year will be as proud as I am to share such a special birthday.
