The collaborative efforts allowed for a larger volunteer base, ensuring that the best resources were available to everyone in Huron County. In 2005, Huron Hospice merged with Wingham and Area Palliative Care Board (WAPC) and was a positive solution for both agencies. Huron Hospice continues to be a volunteer supported agency and provides services and programs to the residents of Huron County at no cost to the participants. Huron Hospice is excited as the organization continues to evolve and will soon support the county with a residential hospice opening in March 2018. Huron Hospice has provided compassionate care, emotional support, and practical assistance for over 20 years because of the kindheartedness and serving hands of each and every volunteer. Visiting Volunteers are individuals within our communities serving neighbors, friends, and all who need support. Huron Hospice continues to offer this much-needed service to individuals and families who are facing a life -limiting illness, extending through to the bereavement process. Constance Russo, manager of Volunteers for Huron Hospice, oversees client care and the Visiting Volunteer Program. Russo ensures that each volunteer has undergone the appropriate screening, references checks, interviews and extensive training in order to provide clients with the best care. Russo meets with each client and family, assesses his or her needs, and together they make a support plan. She advocates for the client, networks with healthcare groups, maintains accurate records and matches the client with a volunteer. Russo ensures that the Visiting Volunteer Program adheres to the mandated government and organizational policies. Russo is passionate about offering excellent hospice palliative care for all Huron County residents. Visiting Volunteers provide non-medical support and comfort to individuals living with a life - limiting illness and to their families, wherever the individual resides. The Visiting Volunteers offer emotional, social and practical support but are not intended to replace the need for professional health care services. Volunteers may offer respite to families so they can rest, companionship for someone who is alone or isolated, assist with legacy work or a life review and at times advocate to ensure that the client's needs are heard and met. Volunteers may also provide support such as listening, going for a walk, playing an instrument, reading together, etc. Hospice volunteers could support an individual for just a few hours or they may support a client for several years. Ron Laplante has been passionately volunteering for Huron County residents as a Huron Hospice Visiting Volunteer for two years. Laplante said, "I have been motivated by a desire to take direct, hands-on, visible action in a journey to better understand and possibly contribute something to improve the human condition. As a participant in the human comedy for 80 plus years... Huron Hospice Volunteer Service is the perfect vehicle for me in terms of giving back effectively to the community and delivering a feeling of satisfaction that I am doing something important." Norma Khan became a Huron Hospice Visiting Volunteer in 2008. Khan lost her husband, both her parents, two brothers-in-law and her dog within two years. She provided support to each of her loved ones before they passed and continued to offer support to other family members who underwent cancer treatments. Khan said, "I know the stress that a care -giver goes through which is always passed on to the loved one who needs the care. Hospice is a much-needed service that is usually not community -wide effort at the same time. Residents have planted over 300 trees through the CIB Annual Fall Tree Sale program.

It brings together passionate volunteers and unique initiatives. The program involves creation of a community profile book, or brag book, professional judging in the provincial competition and a handful of local beautification and environmental programs. New members for the Bluewater Blooms Committee are always welcome. For more information contact Secretary Nellie Evans at 519 236-4351 Ext. 236 or email nevans@municipalityofbluewater.ca. YOUTH INACTION GRANTS United Way is seeking 14-25 year olds who have ideas to address youth issues in Perth and/or Huron Counties. United Way Perth Huron's (UWPH) Youth in Action Grants are an opportunity for youth to access up to $1,000 to develop and implement projects that address important issues in their community and help their peers. Past grant recipients have shown how creative the youth of Perth and Huron Counties can be. Last year, the grant allowed the Cultural Collective youth group to hold nine South Huron Nerd Nights between Exeter and Centralia. The main focus of the project was to increase social opportunities for youth in rural areas of Huron County. Overall over 50 youth benefitted from the program. The project was most successful in providing a safe place for local youth to attend, socialize and remain connected. Social isolation for youth is an issue for youth from low- income families, many of which live in the areas where the Nerd Nights were offered. The Nerd Nights will continue in Exeter and Huron Park (pending sponsorship). A grant for Active Minds at South Huron allowed students to bring Mental Health awareness and educational activities to their high school to promote healthy ways to maintain mental health after the death of a classmate.

BEACH CLEANUP FOR BRANDON WELL ATTENDED Organized by Blue Bayfield and supported by Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation, Bayfield River Valley Trail Association, Pioneer Park, Bayfield Beach Management, Love Your Greats and the Municipality of Bluewater this year's clean up attracted about 45 enthusiastic cleaners.

There wasn't an official dress code for beach clean up day but a wide- brimmed hat, shorts and sandals were popular on what proved to be a fine late summer morning Organized by Blue Bayfield and supported by Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation, Bayfield River Valley Trail Association, Pioneer Park, Bayfield Beach Management, Love Your Greats and the Municipality of Bluewater this year's clean up attracted about 45 enthusiastic cleaners all of whom enjoyed the "wake up" coffee provided by Shop Bike. Susan Fahidy, Lemieux's mother addressed the group. She was touched by the support shown by the community. During this tribute to her son friends and family surrounded her. Great Lakes researcher, Jen Pate addressed those in attendance and pointed out that the "Greats" contain a greater density of plastics than the oceans and stressed the importance of preventing further plastic pollution of our most important resource, water. Beach cleanups such as this, she said, are a significant part of the solution. While the "messy" beach appearance is obvious, the underlying potential harm to aquatic species and risk to human health goes unnoticed. Erinn Lawrie, from the Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation, emphasized the importance of proper beach grooming. She stressed the importance of dune grass to the preservation of the beach sands. While many have expressed that the beach should be "groomed" for aesthetic reasons, she cautioned against mechanical grooming and raking that significantly alters the eco system and ultimately destroys the beach. She asked that participants remove only man-made items and leave such items as feathers, pieces of driftwood, as they lay. Blue Bayfield is committed to reducing plastics and has, to that end, aggressively pursued the elimination of single use water bottles and cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week39issue429/tabid/850/Default.aspx 8/13 6/13/2019 Week 39 Issue 429 Participants were asked to remove only man-made items and leave such items as feathers, pieces of driftwood, as they lay.

They have also encouraged the reduction of toxic cleaners that impact water quality and aquatic species. A brochure on alternative tested cleaning methods is available in the library. Blue Bayfield wants to express sincere thanks to the many who attended this event and their show of support for Lemieux's family and our environment. Members ask that people walk the talk and consider assessing how they and their household can act to mitigate the negative impact that human behavior has on water and beaches. WHY DON'T WE RAID OR MECHANICALLY CLEAN BAYFIELD BEACHES?** • Raking beaches is detrimental to the long-term health of a beach causing it to degrade, reducing value for tourism. • When beaches are raked the top layer of fine sand dries out and the wind carries away that sand, compromising beach quality. • Raking destroys dune vegetation, which traps windblown sand and builds up sand dunes, preserving the sand on the beach. If there is no dune vegetation to catch this sand, the profile of the beach is often lowered, and the surface of the beach is therefore closer to the water table. This can result in a wet beach with wetland plants starting to develop. This could also result in a stonier beach, since all of the finer sands have been carried away by the wind. • Raking removes the "strand lines", which are the lines of debris that collect where the waves wash up on the beach. The strand lines often contain considerable amounts of organic matter, which bacteria and fungi break down, releasing nutrients into the sand which are used by plants in the nutrient -poor dunes. This debris is also important for foraging shorebirds. **Courtesy Blue Bayfield and The Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week391ssue429/tabid/850/Default.aspx 9/13 6/13/2019 iGDHBCE DESIGN— Zurich.

Unfortunately, you can plan to the minutest detail but you can't do much about the weather when your event is in a Tented City in a farmer's field. We had planned to go yesterday with my Mom and her significant other. We were to meet them there about 11 a.m. as they were planning to be one of the first people to arrive so that they'd get a good parking spot. Luckily my Mom got a cell phone a couple years back so she could contact us to abort the plan. She phoned close to 9 a.m. to say they were headed home as it was raining "cats and dogs' and didn't show any signs of stopping any time soon. Now please note that my Mom celebrated her 80th birthday this summer so the idea of traipsing around in mud wasn't appealing to her. School aged youth, however, that's another story, and from all social media reports those who attended yesterday had a great time. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek39issue429/tabid/850/Default.aspx 12/13 6/13/2019 Week 39 Issue 429 We are going to try it again on Thursday or Friday. Perhaps the attending school children could sing a few choruses of "Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun" to encourage Mother Nature to oblige with clear skies from here on out for the hard working organizers of the 100th IPM certainly deserve them. — Melody P.S. Literally, just as I posted this a note came across my news feed that organizers are closing the match site to the public today (Sept. 20). "A decision was made to close the grounds to the public, primarily for safety reasons. It was also noted that organizers did not want to irreparably damage the land that had been so graciously offered to them." So really now everyone start singing, "Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr Golden Sun". Don't know it? You'll find the words and tune via Google. 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.
