Activities at SOS will include, a Kiddy Korner, with help from The Purple Peony, located on Bayfield's Main Street, as well as a return of the Thomas the Train table, sponsored by the CNR School Car in Clinton. As always, there will be a cash bar for adults. Once again, the event will include a raffle with a variety of fun items. Also, the Bayfield Lions' Club will be selling prints of the photos chosen for the 2018 Bayfield calendar (as opposed to the silent auction of previous years).

Called "pedestrian crossovers", these street design features will improve public safety for children crossing on their way to and from school and pedestrians accessing the downtown core. Pedestrian crossovers mean new changes for drivers, too. Failure to stop for pedestrians who have indicated they want to cross could mean a fine of up to $500 and three demerit points. Drivers must also wait for pedestrians to cross completely before proceeding. "These crossover are a new standard in the Ontario Traffic Manual," said Mike Hausser, manager of Huron County Public Works. "We're proactively replacing existing pedestrian crossings to make expectations clearer to drivers and pedestrians." "You'll be seeing these new pavement markings and signs throughout Ontario," he added. The new pavement markings include a ladder design �mauMa wa yet Ikmasmss, marking the crosswalk and a line of white triangles marking the spot where drivers are required to stop when a pedestrian has indicated they'd like to cross. The new pedestrian crossing signs will have a push button and yellow lights to alert drivers of the pedestrian. Both pedestrians and drivers should also make eye contact with each other to be sure they've been seen. Several parking spaces will be removed to make space for the crossings, and ensure pedestrians are visible to drivers. The new crossovers are replacing existing crossings along Victoria/Albert Street in Clinton. They will be found near Albert St. and Park Lane; near Albert St. and Rattenbury St.; near Victoria St. and the plaza, south of the lights; and near Victoria St. and Railway St. The Coalition for Huron Injury Prevention (CHIP) will be distributing materials to help drivers; pedestrians and cyclists use this new feature correctly. ABCA NOW ACCEPTING TREE ORDERS FOR FALL PLANTING Autumn will soon sneak its head around the corner. The fact the fall season is waiting in the wings means it's time to think about fall tree orders, according to the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). "Fall is a great time to plant ball and burlap evergreens and potted deciduous trees," said Ian Jean, Forestry and Land Stewardship specialist with ABCA. Local landowners planted more than 53,000 trees last year through ABCA's spring and fall tree order programs. The local conservation authority has posted the fall tree order form for 2017 at abca.on.ca. There are fewer tree orders in the fall than there are in the spring but autumn is a good time to order trees and think ahead to the spring season, according to Jean. There are grants available for some tree planting projects, Jean said, such as field windbreaks, treed buffers, and larger scale reforestation. He encourages watershed landowners to give him a call to find out more. "We are happy to help with project design and making it very easy to apply for grants," he said. Funding amounts vary depending on the type of project and the local municipality. The Forestry and Land Stewardship Specialist suggests landowners planning to plant trees next spring should consider starting the planning and preparation in September or October of Thinking of becoming a Community Food Advisor (CFA)? Watch the CFA demonstrations at the Threshers' Reunion and International Plowing Match and learn what being a CFA is all about. The Huron County Health Unit is currently recruiting CFA volunteers. For anyone who enjoys food, nutrition, learning and talking with people in the community, this may be the right opportunity. Training will take place this October. "You can find the CFAs at the Threshers' Reunion and the IPM this September. These events are just two examples of the educational, and food -focused, demonstrations the Community Food Advisors do regularly across Huron County," said Liz Higgins, Public Health dietitian. "This year, we're really excited to have our CFAs host a make -your -own apple sauce demo at the International Plowing Match in Walton. And, the seasonal taste -testing sessions at the annual Threshers' Reunion are always a hit with the crowds." Visit the CFA booth at the Threshers Reunion on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 2 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 10 at 11 a.m. People can also check out the CFA demonstrations at the IPM on Friday, Sept. 22 at 11:30 a.m. and Saturday, Sept. 23 at noon. "These events are a great chance for anyone interested in becoming a CFA to learn more about the program, talk with the volunteers, and try out a new recipe," said Higgins. CFA training provides volunteers with the knowledge and skills to promote healthy eating and food safety through presentations, cooking classes and other educational appearances. In 2016 alone, the 22 Huron County CFAs reached over 2,300 people. CFA training is free and will begin in October. Volunteers will receive training from professionals, including a registered dietitian, public health inspectors, public health nurses and more.

Proper site preparation is one of the keys to successful tree establishment and fall conditions are more favorable for completing this work than early spring. "Our staff can help with many aspects of land stewardship," Jean said. "Our services include planting plans, site preparation, follow-up tending, and forest management plans." Local landowners purchase trees for afforestation, windbreaks, and other stewardship projects. Anyone interested in ordering trees through this program should mail or fax their orders by Sept. 15. Payment is due by Sept. 30. Orders are accepted, accompanied by payment in full, until Sept. 30. The fall tree orders include potted Silver Maple; Sugar Maple; Red Oak; Bur Oak; and Tulip Tree. Tree species for fall tree orders also include ball and burlap White Cedar; Norway Spruce; White Spruce; Blue Spruce; and White Pine. "Two -foot balled and burlap Spruce and Cedar are ideal to create shelterbelts and windbreaks on fields and farms," according to Jean.

CENTRALIA RESIDENT WINS ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation presented a $1,000 Student Environmental Award to 2017 winner Marina Lather, of Centralia, ON, recently. Foundation Chair Bob Radtke presented the student bursary in a brief ceremony at the boardroom at Morrison Dam Conservation Area east of Exeter on Aug. 21. (Submitted photo) The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation (ABCF) presents a $1,000 Student Environmental Award each year. The ABCF announced that the 2017 winner is Marina Lather, of Centralia, ON. Foundation Chair Bob Radtke presented the student bursary in a brief ceremony at the boardroom at Morrison Dam Conservation Area east of Exeter on Aug. 21. Previous winners of the student award have been Samantha Bycraft (2016); Barb Alber (2015); Connor Devereaux (2014); Ryan Carlow (2013); Greg Urquhart (2012); Raina Vingerhoeds (2011); and Ryan Finnie (2010). In order to apply for this award, a student must be a graduating secondary school student, or a student currently enrolled in university or college, and pursuing education in a conservation or environmental related course of study such as biology, ecology, geography, forestry, fish and wildlife, agriculture or outdoor education. Eligible students must also be between the ages of stage signs of Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, and their care partners. The program begins on Thursday, Sept. 28 and will be held for eight consecutive weeks from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at the YMCA. Minds in Motion is a two hour per week fun and family -friendly program which offers the opportunity to establish new friendships with others who are living the same experiences. Because keeping mind and body fit has been proven to contribute to improved brain health for everyone, the program consists of two main components: a 45-60 minute fitness session and a 45-60 minute session of mentally stimulating activities, both facilitated by a Minds in Motion coordinator from the Alzheimer Society of Huron County. Regular physical activity for people with dementia leads to a significant reduction in depression, an increased sense of independence and an improvement in quality of life. Minds in Motion helps care partners to focus on their own health as well, rather than focusing exclusively on the needs of the person they are caring for. Minds in Motion was first introduced to Huron County in January 2015 as a pilot program and has now been continued on an interim basis with support from the Trillium Foundation and the Ontario Government. Minds in Motion is currently offered at six sites throughout Huron County: Goderich, Clinton, Grand Bend, Exeter, Bayfield and Wingham. To register for the current Minds in Motion program in Goderich, please contact the Alzheimer Society of Huron County at 1-800-561-5012 or email, admin @alzheimerhuron.on.ca. There is a cost of $20 per person for the eight-week session, current YMCA Members will have the fee waived. BONE HEALTH WORKSHOP A four-week Bone Health program will be offered in Zurich at the Bluewater and Area Family Health Team (BAFHT) on Tuesdays starting on Sept. 12. The workshop, which will run from 1-3 p.m., will be useful to those recently diagnosed with or interested in preventing, osteopenia and osteoporosis.

HURON RESIDENTIAL HOSPICE IS ALL BY KAILYN PASMA” For over two decades, Huron Hospice Volunteer Service has been passionately caring for Huron County residents throughout the various difficulties end -of -life can present by offering support to families and individuals. Huron Hospice has been listening to the members of our communities and has been advocating for a residential hospice. For over two years, dedicated members of our compassionate community have been actively working on a Huron County model of Hospice Palliative Care that incorporates much more than just the "bricks and mortar" associated with a hospice. Huron Residential Hospice's vision is "ensuring every moment matters by offering compassion, hope, and care to those approaching end of life, and support and healing to those caring for and grieving for them." The hospice will serve as the "hub" for Hospice Palliative Care through leadership, quality and performance improvements, best practices, research, support and training where people can easily access care and services in the communities of Huron County. The Model of Care will support all residents in Huron County. It is a team approach to quality, equitable care that serves the needs of all individuals and their families. Huron Residential Hospice will be a center of excellence. The Taw Connors concert has been scheduled for the Hensall Heritage Hall on Sept. 23.

It encompasses how individuals seek meaning in life, connections with others, the world, with God or a higher being or deity and themselves. Religion and spirituality are not cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezeNVeek361ssue426/tabid/847/Default.aspx 12/21 6/13/2019 Week 36 Issue 426 Butterflies visited for a few moments while they discovered their wings. On Sunday, Aug. 27, at Pioneer Park just before sunset, the Huron Residential Hospice campaign hosted a "butterfly release". Over 300 donors from all over Huron County came to support the Huron Residential Hospice project. A piper from the Celtic Blue Highlanders from Goderich accompanied the release of the butterflies in a moving, spiritual tribute to loved ones who have died. A memorial service was officiated by Eugene Dufour. The proposed new Ministry of Health endorsed, Huron Residential Hospice, will be located in the centre of Huron County, two miles north of Clinton on Hwy 8. Huron and Perth counties are the only two in Ontario that don't currently have a Residential Hospice and this new facility will meet a critical need and will serve all residents of Huron County.

Spiritual Care is a factor in holistic hospice palliative care. It is a key element of hospice care as some concerns of a dying patient are spiritual questions related to their sense of purpose, the meaning of life, self-image and hope for the future. Spiritual Care allows the patient and family to be supported and given opportunities to assess and self -evaluate, to explore beliefs of an afterlife, discover meaning, examine relationships and practice religious rituals. The full integration of spiritual care professionals within the standard practice of palliative care is lacking as it continues to be treated as an ancillary service. Huron Residential Hospice maintains the highest standards by ensuring that Spiritual Care will be a top priority, welcoming all religious and spiritual leaders in the community. Huron Residential Hospice aims to maintain the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Associations' guidelines and standards, acknowledging that the individual is the spokesperson for their own spiritual care needs. Spiritual Care through Huron Residential Hospice is there to meet the spiritual needs of all hospice patients, whatever their faith or beliefs. The Hospice is a home -like setting for patients and their families that will enhance and support each individual's spiritual care. The hospice home is situated in a beautiful natural setting. The design of the home, and each room, ensures that every patient and family member feels comfortable, peaceful and is able to enjoy nature as desired. The Spiritual Reflection Room is another place within the home for the patient and family to enhance their individual spirituality, religious practices, refective times and moments of quietness. The Spiritual Reflection Room is available for any need the patient and family desires to ensure their spiritual needs are met. Huron Residential Hospice is more than "bricks and mortar". Every volunteer and staff member will be trained in supporting the Spiritual Care needs of the patients and families. Huron Hospice currently has trained spiritual care volunteers and staff members who provide this key element of hospice palliative care. Through building trust and relationships, staff and volunteers will help support the patient and families by providing spiritual care through therapeutic listening, focusing on leading as normal a life as possible, and maintaining meaningful relationships. These trained staff and volunteers will provide support to identify personal hopes and goals and find opportunities to achieve them.

PHOTOS BY JACK PAL AND STORY BY RAY LETHEREN On a day with the winds calm and the sun rising above the tree line, 200 walkers and runners dotted the streets of the village in the Seventh Safe Harbour Run in support of the Huron Women's Shelter. After a one-year absence and with the organizational support of Blue Bayfield, this year's event is estimated to have added between $4,000-$5,000 to the coffers of the Shelter. This represents the full amount of registration fees. Sixty- two sponsors contributed $8,500 to cover the operating costs. Lack of volunteers curtailed the 2016 run but 50 volunteers from Bayfield and Goderich brought it back to life. The event included 5 KM, 10 KM and 2 KM runs. The longer runs part of the Runpikers Series sponsored by Runner's Choice. This year also saw the addition of walkers and pole walkers that attracted 45 local enthusiasts. Prize money totalling $1,150 was awarded to winners of each age category and the overall winners of the 5 KM and 10 KM events. Local resident and ardent hiker Jane Davidson represented one end of the age spectrum.

OPTIMIST IASSAGE THEr e —.a04Alp dpaw A - 519.565.4711 There are just 21 days until the 2017 International Plowing Match and Rural Expo opens in Walton, ON Huron County residents are invited to get into the spirit of the match by decorating in the IPM colors of orange and lime green and one way they can do that is to purchase official IPM Bows. Members of Bayfield Guiding are selling these cheery and festive bows made by volunteers with the IPM Beautification Committee. They are perfect to brighten porches, front doors, planters, mailboxes and more. One hundred per cent of the proceeds will go to Bayfield Guiding to help kick start their new season of adventures. The price has been set at $10 each. They are available from Bayfield Guiding members or by calling Melody at 519 525-3830 or emailing me at the address below. Thanks in advance for your support. Hope to see you at the IPM! — Melody cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week36issue426/tabid/847/Default.aspx 19/21 6/13/2019 Week 36 Issue 426 Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
