TOM DAVIS A FEATURED SPEAKER AT BAYFIELD SUSTAINABILITY SUNUMT Canadian best selling author and international activist Maude Barlow is the keynote speaker at the Bayfield Sustainability Summit, taking place at the Bayfield Town Hall on Sept. 23. Titled 'Big Solutions for Small Communities,' the Summit will bring together experts in various aspects of environmental sustainability with a particular focus on how rural villages can make meaningful change in the fight against Climate Change. The National Honorary Chairperson of the Council of Canadians, a citizens' advocacy organization with members and chapters across Canada, Maude Barlow is also the co-founder of the Blue Planet Project, which works internationally for the human right to water. She chairs the board of Washington -based Food & Water Watch, is a founding member of the San Francisco—based International Forum on Globalization, and a Councilor with the Hamburg - based World Future Council. In 2008-2009, she served as Senior Advisor on Water to the 63rd President of the United Nations General Assembly and was a leader in the campaign to have water recognized as a human right by the United Nations. The BRVTA has been actively building and maintaining a network of trails in Bluewater over the past 10 years. These trails, built entirely by volunteers, are for public use by local residents and tourists alike thanks to a partnership with the Municipality of Bluewater and the generosity of private landowners. Over the years the BRVTA has contributed much to community improvement through fundraising. Sponsorship of the Terry Fox Run for the past 8 years has raised over $30,000. An additional $1,000 was raised for the Goderich MRI Imaging project and $1,200 for the Clinton Hospital. In 2013, the Festival of Fitness and Art in Bayfield used the trails and raised in excess of $4,000 for the Alexandria Marine and General Hospital in Goderich.

In 2016, the BRVTA coordinated a fundraising drive to purchase the property on the Bayfield River and donate it to the Huron Tract Land cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek371ssue427/tabid/848/Default.aspx 4/20 6/13/2019 Barlow is a prolific author; her most recent book, "Boiling Point: Government Neglect, Corporate Abuse, and Canada's Water Crisis", builds on a trilogy of treatises on global water issues: Blue Future, Blue Gold and Blue Covenant. In her keynote address, Barlow will lay bare the defining issue of our coming decade: the vulnerability of Canada's water reserves. According to the Globe & Mail, she delivers, "the most eloquent call to arms we're likely to hear about the politics of water." Joining Barlow at the podium and around the discussion table will be: Tom Davis, a professor in the Donald J. Smith School of Building and Technology; Detroit Zoo CEO Ron Kagan; Week 37 Issue 427 Tom Davies (Submitted photo) Bayfield's own Jennifer Pate, a geographer, filmmaker and adventurer; Mari Veliz, the Healthy Watersheds Supervisor at the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA); and Philip Keightley, M. Sc., P. Eng, of Bayfield, a professional engineer with more than 40 years of experience specializing in water and sewage projects. Tom Davis is a professor in the Donald J. Smith School of Building and Technology. An environmental pioneer, Davis immigrated to Canada from the United States as an adult and began his teaching career at Fanshawe in 2008. He has an educational background in civil engineering, majoring in environmental engineering; has worked in the highrise construction business; created his own environmental company (Green -tech Environmental Engineering Ltd.); and is an accredited professional with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). Davis was also personally trained by former Vice -President Al Gore, chair of the Climate Reality Project, and is part of the Climate Reality Program Leadership Corps. This entails receiving content prepared by Gore and delivering it to students in sustainability at Fanshawe. Most recently, Davis and his students worked on a corporate policy to retrofit 68 townhouses across from the college to net zero design, with the hope of rolling the idea out to four other programs at the college in the fall. Davis will offer practical solutions for everyday people to lower their carbon footprint and live sustainably, and will also discuss how modern building techniques offer zero energy outputs, as demonstrated by new student buildings at Fanshawe College in London.

He died on Sept. 16, 2016. One year later a beach clean up is being organized in his name. During his life, he ensured that his daughter also knew of this special place as a visit to the Bayfield beach was a must each and every summer. (Submitted photo) Brandon Lemieux, an ardent beach walker and cleaner, died on Sept. 16, 2016. His mother Susan wishes to honor his name and asked if Bayfield would be interested in assisting as a result Blue Bayfield, Bayfield River Trail Association, Pioneer Park Association, Love Your Greats, Beach Management Committee, Municipality of Bluewater and the Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation are joining forces to coordinate a beach cleanup to honor Brandon. Interested citizens are asked to meet at the Main Beach parking area at 9 a.m. on Sept.16, 2017. Participants are asked to wear appropriate footwear; gloves and bags will be provided. Citizens in the village have been willing volunteers for beach cleanups for at least 20 plus years. Cigarette butts and fast food containers, including plastics have dominated the collections over this period. Studies have shown that plastics are becoming a major concern in the Great Lakes and that aquatics species are mistakenly consuming plastics that appear to them as food. Forty-five million people also use the lakes as their source of drinking water and a reservoir for sewage, both storm and domestic. Lemieux had visited his great-grandfather's summer cottage off of Stanley Side Rd 1 since childhood. His summers always included trips to the village for ice cream and a trek down to Bayfield Beach for a swim, fishing off the end of the pier, his passion. Later, he worked as a cook in the kitchen of JD's Restaurant. In any season, Lemieux, later living in Seaforth, could be found wandering the Bayfield Beach. Even after relocating back to his hometown of Kitchener, he made sure his daughter also knew of this special place, a visit to the Bayfield beach was a must each and every summer. He was passionate about the beach and expressed this passion by spending countless hours picking up litter. It was important to him that the beach and Lake Huron be maintained for future generations. Lemieux's connection to the Bayfield Beach was so strong that he always said that he "felt the most himself there". All are invited to join in honouring Lemieux's memory by demonstrating community support for his passion for protecting a most valued resource, water.

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.

Bereavement is the loss of someone or something precious. Grief is the normal and natural response to the loss of someone or something precious. Mourning is the social expression of grief performed after death and includes religious and cultural rituals and behaviours (Pallium Canada). Grief is a personal and unique response to loss. Grief can be a very painful process and can take time to heal. It can be expressed physically, emotionally and spiritually and it can take months to years to heal from a loss. Loss may not be something someone ever gets over but eventually it can be integrated into one's life allowing the person to move towards healing and wholeness. There are over 40 different kinds of losses that a person can experience in a lifetime. These can include but are not limited to death, divorce, pet loss, financial loss, loss of health, empty nest, retirement and can also include intangible losses such as loss of trust, safety, control, etc. Huron Residential Hospice recognizes that there are various kinds of losses in life and identifies that grief and bereavement support are essential to their Model of Care. Huron Residential Hospice advocates that grief and bereavement support must be accessible to everyone in Huron County and include emotional, spiritual, and psychosocial support for individuals and families anticipating a death or who have experienced a loss. Huron Residential Hospice and Huron Hospice Volunteer Service will continue to offer several programs ensuring that everyone has access to grief recovery. There are currently several programs offered by Huron Hospice throughout the county. Each program is facilitated by a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist and is designed to meet the needs of a specific group based on age, loss, location, etc. The Grief Recovery Outreach Program is an eight week support program for adults that provides a safe environment to evaluate common myths, look at one's own beliefs about loss, identify losses that have affected one's life and actions that have lead to emotions that may be causing unresolved pain. Certified Grief Recovery Specialists provide participants with tools to help each individual recover from the loss with supportive guidance. It is an action -based program that includes reading and writing assignments and is typically offered in the spring and fall. The program is also available to youth and young adults with a slightly different application to ensure success. The One -to -One Grief Support Program is another resource for individuals who are experiencing grief or bereavement. Specially trained staff and volunteers are available to support an individual by offering an empathetic listening ear, exploring healthy forms of coping and building trusting relationships. A staff member will complete an assessment and ensure that each individual is matched with the best volunteer or staff member to ensure the most effective support. This program is available in an individual's home, over the telephone, or wherever the person feels most comfortable. My Path is a program developed by Huron Hospice using the principles of the Grief Recovery Outreach Program and has been implemented in other hospices within the province. This program is for persons with cognitive impairments, helping them process their grief and loss. It is a four-week support program that allows individuals to acknowledge their grief and say goodbye to the pain and hurt. The specialized staff and volunteers provide support by validating feelings and grief responses and provide new tools that allow individuals to express grief and cope with their losses. These support programs are currently offered to everyone in Huron County and will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. Huron Residential Hospice supports those who are grieving by providing a supportive, non -judgmental and safe environment. Support through the hospice helps a grieving person realize that they are not suffering alone; they can share strategies for healing and find support in their community. The next Grief Recovery Outreach Program will be starting in late September in Wingham and Bayfield. If you or someone you know would benefit from this program or one of the other programs offered, please contact Huron Hospice at 519 482-3440 Ext. 6301. **Kailyn Pasma, RN, CHPCN(c), Huron Hospice Board Member 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.

It was important for two reasons. First, it marked my granddaughter's third birthday and secondly it was the day that our six year-old grandson would get to attend his first live professional theatre. Three front row centre seats were reserved for he, his grandpa and I. The production of "Beauty and the Beast" at the Huron Country Playhouse was probably a lot of youngsters' first theatre judging from the muscle posturing boys and princess dress attired girls that were having their pictures taken during intermission. And it certainly did capture Graham's attention if not necessarily his imagination. He is after all a very practical wee chap. While we counted down the minutes to curtain he thoroughly read the program learning the song orders and the real names of many of the cast members and their parts. We discussed the work of the man pictured on the TV mounted on the balcony and he wondered if perhaps balcony seats might have been a better choice. Once the show began he did his best to be a good attentive listener but he is an inquisitive soul and he couldn't help but ask some questions along the way sorting out the various roles the people were playing and announcing that the male ensemble dancers were definitely his favorites especially the welcome mat and the knives. These talented dancers earned his appreciation when one did a back flip off the staircase right in front of him. "That was awesome!" he declared. His imagination was tweaked when Maurice was locked in the cage and Belle was pleading with the Beast to let him out. In fact he declared that he didn't like the show anymore and he wanted to leave. Luckily I was able to convince him that the story would get happy again soon and he stayed in his seat. About part way through the first act I noticed he wasn't clapping so at intermission I explained to him that after the musical performances if you enjoyed the song you are allowed to clap to show your appreciation. "Oh? Really?" he said and sure enough in act two he clapped enthusiastically in fact sometimes he was the last one in the theatre to finish. Having recovered from the dark spell in the story he was very much looking forward to the fight scene in act two. When the Beast pushed Gaston off the parapet his fall was accentuated by his voice trailing off into the distance as he dropped far below on the castle grounds. "Well that was a pretty long drop," I whispered to him. "Not really, just to the stage floor," he replied. Ever the pragmatist but hopefully one that will develop a love of theatre as he grows up. — Gramel P.S. Happy 3rd Birthday Noelle! Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
