Signed to Atlantic/Warner Records at the tender age of 19, three -time Juno nominee Sarah Slean has since released 11 albums in over 10 countries worldwide — but perhaps the most astonishing aspect of her artistry is its breadth. Over her 20 -year career, Slean has published two volumes of poetry, starred in short films and a movie musical (spawning two Gemini Award nominations), penned two string quartets, held numerous exhibitions of her paintings and shared the stage with eight of the country's professional orchestras. Classically trained from the age of five, she routinely collaborates with cutting-edge contemporary classical ensembles like The Art of Time, and has been invited to sing world premieres by Canada's leading living composers. Citing such diverse influences as Leonard Bernstein, Philosophy, Joni Mitchell, Buddhism and Bach, her music borrows aspects of cabaret, rock, pop, and orchestral: all knit together by the startling poetry of her lyrics, virtuosic piano -playing, and that voice, described by the CBC as "a 19th century Kate Bush". In addition to headlining theatres across Canada, Slean has also toured Europe, the US and Scandinavia and has opened internationally for such artists as Bryan Ferry, Rufus Wainwright, Alanis Morissette, Andrew Bird, Feist, Ron Sexsmith, Chris Isaak and Buck 65. "Metaphysics", her first recording in five years, is described as a breathtaking amalgamation of Slean's dramatic orchestral arranging and her signature take on songwriting. Slean will grace the stage at the Bayfield Town Hall for a matinee performance on Oct. 22 Ron Sexsmith is a favorite of Bayfield concert attendees and he will be back in the village for a performance on Oct. 26. His latest album, "The Last Rider" was released in April giving audiences an opportunity to hear new music as well as their favorites from a career that has spanned more than a quarter-century. In order to have a tree planted on your frontage, the committee asks that homeowners commit to watering and taking care of the tree (mulch, do not damage the bark); and if possible, they make a donation ( $20 plus - gets a tax receipt) in order to keep the project going. Every tree planted costs approximately $125. Anyone interested in participating in the project should please contact Sondra Buchner at tsbuchland@tcc.on.ca.

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. "We are most proud of the initiative to purchase the Bayfield Flats Natural Area for the enjoyment of future generations. In 2016, the BRVTA coordinated a fundraising drive to purchase the property on the Bayfield River and donate it to the Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy. This was an amazing project, thanks to the incredible support of the community," said Roger Lewington, a BRVTA member. The trails are free of charge to the public and provide a superb opportunity for families and people of all generations to enjoy the beauty of our area.

Kelsey Johnston, a Michael's Pharmacy employee, organized the sold -out concert as a fundraiser for the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS). As a result, the Town Hall recently received a donation of $2,000 from Michael and Nevien Ibrahim, for the net profits from The Dreamboats concert. Sandy Scotchmer, president of the BTHHS, was on hand at Michael's Pharmacy to accept the donation and once again thank Michael, Nevien and Kelsey for their support of the Town Hall. The money will help with ongoing maintenance and renovation projects. And as special note, with the assistance of Johnston, the Town Hall has arranged for a return of The Dreamboats on June 28, 20181 COUNCIL TABLES MOTIONS REGARDING ARENA FUTURE Two motions put forth by Bluewater Council from the Committee of the Whole Session on Sept. 5 regarding the future of the Bayfield Arena and Community Centre were tabled at the Sept. 18 regular council meeting. The first tabled motion was, "that the recreational feasibility study consist of a committee formed of the consultant, who has yet to be hired, the Bayfield Facility Initiative Team (BFIT), who has representation from the majority of the service clubs in Bayfield and two members of council." Bayfield Ward Councilor Bill Whetstone suggested that this motion be tabled for clarification on terms of reference in a staff report. Deputy Mayor Jim Fergusson added that the report could include what other municipalities have done. The second tabled motion was, "that the correspondence from the Bayfield Facility Initiative Team (BFIT) and Bayfield Arena Community Partners Association (BACPA) expressing their interest in the operation of the Bayfield Community Centre be discussed at the next meeting of Council on Sept. 18, 2017." Whetstone suggested that staff create an informational report to determine what the value of entering into either a lease or a purchase agreement would be to Bluewater. Later in the meeting council "awarded a tender for full restoration of the Bayfield Arena roof to Bullock and Sons Roofing in the amount of $151,950 (pre-tax) for the 2017 year with the cost of the restoration being split between two fiscal years. The cost overage will be funded from the Recreation and Park Reserve for contingency with the Reserve being replenished in the 2018 budget." Conversation arose as to why money was being spent on the Bayfield facility at this time when its future use is in question. Manager of Finance Ansberth Willert noted that it is a health and safety issue, the roof was deemed to have failed last spring, and now that work on the roof trusses has been completed the municipality needs to protect that investment now. wonderful evening and support the Bayfield Trails and the 10th anniversary celebration.

To support this fundraiser visitors to the LCBO can make a donation when an LCBO employee at their local retail location asks if they want to give $10, $5 or $2. In 2016, the LCBO donated more than $52,000 to United Way Perth -Huron. In fact, the LCBO is the single largest United Way contributor province -wide from the Ontario Public Service sector. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week4Olssue430/tabid/851/Default.aspx 5/17 6/13/2019 Week 40 Issue 430 While journeying on the path of a life -limiting illness, people are often asked about the setting in which they would like to spend their final moments. Some prefer to stay at home; some prefer to be in a hospital or a Long Term Care setting and some would love the opportunity to have the comfort of a hospice. Wherever the individual and family decide to spend these precious moments, the Huron Perth Palliative Care Outreach Team (PCOT) and Huron Residential Hospice (HRH) want to ensure the best support for each person. The PCOT and HRH aim to integrate resources to ensure that wherever an individual decides to palliate, at home or in their setting of choice, they will have access to the best resources. The PCOT is defined as a "secondary level consult team that will work in partnership with primary care providers to provide support and consultation in symptom management including psychosocial and spiritual aspects to care." The PCOT specializes in end of life care and has the ability to support the patient's symptom management in the community setting. They address complex symptom management issues in a timely manner thereby reducing hospitalization and allowing the individual to stay in the comfort of their home or setting of choice. It provides the unique opportunity to meet the needs of individuals in their home community and improve patient quality of life. Since the initiation of this team, more families have been able to support their loved ones in their home. The team members include Palliative Care Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Pain and Symptom Management Consultants, Spiritual Care Advisors and Volunteer Program Coordinators. The team also works closely with the South West LHIN program manager who implements care plans, liaises between healthcare sectors and patient needs. The program manager acts as a system navigator, ensuring the care provided is seamless and barrier -free. The PCOT offers 24-hour nursing care, expert pain and symptom management, a palliative care physician, psychosocial, spiritual and practical support. A PCOT physician is available 24/7 to support and collaborate with primary care providers, assisting them in caring for palliative care patients in Huron - Perth. Dr. Agnes Kluz is passionate about Hospice Palliative Care and has been advocating for its excellence in Huron County for several years. Dr. Kluz is the lead physician for the PCOT and has many roles such as coordinating and developing the frameworks for the Model of Care, developing and supporting education for physicians, and ensuring that care is delivered smoothly. Dr. Kluz said, "Patients living with a life limiting illness have special needs that often require immediate attention. If these needs are not met, patients may be forced to visit Emergency Rooms. The PCOT enables primary care providers to address their patient's needs, prevent avoidable hospitalization, and meet care needs of individuals and their family." The goals of the PCOT are to increase access to specialized Palliative Care, ensure dignity at the end of one's life in the setting of one's choice, and to decrease the dependence on acute care settings. Since the PCOT was initiated in February 2017 the team has made a significant difference in Huron -Perth as more individuals have been able to spend their final moments at home. Kathy O'Reilly, chair of HRH said, "The PCOT is an extension of the services Huron Residential Hospice supports, allowing more individuals to remain in the comfort of their own homes if desired." These generous donations from the LCBO and its customers come at an important time; at a kick-off lunch in Strafford on Sept. 15 and Tour through Huron and Perth Counties on Sept. 18, UWPH announced a courageous goal of $1,556,445 for the 2017 campaign. "All these generous donations from the LCBO and its customers help ensure existing needs in our community continue to be met," said United Way Executive Director Ryan Erb, "Of course United Way Perth -Huron's mandate goes well beyond money to affect lives across our region in a positive way, but without donations we can't begin to do the work that needs to be done across Huron and Perth Counties." United Way Perth -Huron is 100 per cen local and supports almost 50 organizations and services across Perth and Huron Counties. To help United Way continue supporting these local services, donations are gladly accepted.

HALTON COUNTY YOUTH CROWNED QUEEN OF THE FURROW The 2017 International Plowing Match and Rural Expo (IPM) had a busy and exciting day on Friday, Sept. 22 with good weather, great crowds and lots to see and do. The day was capped off by the Celebration of Excellence banquet — celebrating the winners of the BMO Plowing Competition and the crowning of the Queen of the Furrow. The Banquet was held at the Brussels arena and is the final event in the Queen of the Furrow program. Throughout the week, the 25 local county Queen of the Furrows had participated in numerous activities and events and had toured much of Huron County. Judging for Queen of the Furrow is based on their performances in: Plowing Ability, Appearance and Deportment, an Interview, a Speech and Impromptu Speech. Kailey Donaldson, from Halton County, was crowned 2017-2018 Queen of the Furrow. Donaldson grew up in Acton, ON and has been an active 4-H member for years. She is a graduate of the University of Guelph, Ridgetown Campus. The new Queen was honored with a car for the year courtesy of the Ontario Plowman's Association (OPA), as well as a scholarship. First Runner Up was Caleigh Van Kampen, of Peel Dufferin, and Second Runner Up was Andrea Chesney, of Oxford Blenheim. Two other finalists were Josie Linton, of Durham County and Olivia Bolender, of York County. These young ladies will continue to contribute their time over the course of the next year along with the other 25 county Queens representing and educating their communities in regards to farming, agriculture, business and volunteerism with the OPA. There are a number of special awards offered as part of the Queen of the Furrow program. BMO Bank of Montreal donated two Scholarships to the participating Queens — the scholarships are chosen randomly and the winners were Chloe Croghan, of Grenville County and Billie Diemert. of Grey Normanby. Diemert was also honored with the title of Miss Friendship. The top five Queens of the Furrow recognized for their plowing skills were honored with a $100 scholarship from the OPA.

PHOTOS BY JACK PAL The Bayfield Sustainability Summit, titled, 'Big Solutions for Small Communities,' had a sellout registration at the Bayfield Town Hall on Saturday, Sept. 23. People interested in small communities came to hear a number of 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. After an introductory welcome from Bluewater Mayor Tyler Hessel, Summit MC Elise Feltrin welcomed the enthusiastic group who came from across southwestern Ontario and Michigan. Feltrin gave a welcome to all and thanked Summit sponsors RTO4 , Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce and the Municipality of Bluewater for the support. The Summit had the support from a number of expert local workshop facilitators and other volunteers. Canadian bestselling author and international activist Maude Barlow was the morning keynote speaker. Gayle Waters introduced Barlow and welcomed her back to the village. In her keynote address, Barlow laid 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." The afternoon keynote speaker was Tom Davis, a Professor in the Donald J. Smith School of Building and Technology. Davis gave a dramatic and sobering presentation outlining the history and the causes of climate change. He also outlined the solutions to mitigating climate change offering practical solutions for everyday people to lower their carbon footprint and live sustainably. He furthermore discussed how modern building techniques offer net -zero energy solutions as demonstrated by new student buildings at Fanshawe College in London that are leading the way in responding to climate change. Detroit Zoo Environmental Manager Rachel Handbury highlighted the Zoo's sustainability projects, current and future, including their Anaerobic Digester which converts 'poo at the zoo' into compost and methane fuel. The Zoo has also successfully weaned its visitors off single -use water bottles, and is looking to install Tesla solar roof tiles in the future. Handbury's informative presentation and workshop offered suggestions as to the ways in which municipalities and universities can create less waste and lower their energy use at the same time. In her presentation, Jen Pate, local environmentalist and social entrepreneur (www.loveyourgreats.com ) shared her love story for the Great Lakes — a unique tale of people's passion for their local waterways and their cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week40lssue430/tabid/851/Default.aspx 9/17 6/13/2019 Week 40 Issue 430 Philip Keightley, M. Sc., P. Eng, is a professional engineer and Bayfield resident. He described how increases in climate change guarantee that we'll all have to deal with the effects of more extreme weather in the future. He is shown here with Elise Feltrin who acted as Mistress of Ceremonies at the event. The Summit had the support from a number of expert local workshop facilitators and other volunteers. Tom Davis, a Professor in the Donald J.

In her workshop, participants provided meaningful and actionable solutions to dealing with plastic pollution all the way from the source to the lake and beyond. Mari Veliz, Healthy Watersheds supervisor at the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ARCA), discussed both rural and urban storm water management best practices, focusing on the rain garden that was built in the Village of Bayfield. During rainstorms or periods of melting snow, the run-off created picks up contaminants that can then flow into large bodies of water ... lakes and rivers that are a source of drinking water for nearby communities. Shallow, sunken gardens appropriately called rain gardens protect local water quality by collecting, absorbing and filtering this run-off. Rain gardens not only reduce flooding and erosion they can also create habitat for wildlife and add beauty to a community. Philip Keightley described how increases in climate change guarantee that we'll all have to deal with the effects of more extreme weather in the future. This will have a major impact on our civil infrastructure, yet traditional engineering solutions seem out of reach for small municipalities experiencing increasing budgetary constraints. Keightley presented ideas and examples of simpler and more practical solutions that are appropriate to small communities. The Blue Bayfield Committee was delighted to invite local area high school students and the response was very positive .Approximately 10 students were able to participate in the sessions. All presenters made note of the importance of young peoples' involvement as they are the future change makers. Blue Bayfield is an organization of concerned citizens located in Bayfield. Its mission is to reduce the use of disposable plastics and prevent plastic and pollutants from entering our Great Lake and waterways. Blue Bayfield spearheaded the drive to install multiple water bottle refilling stations throughout the village, providing a mobile water unit (Blue Betty) at events and locations where no potable water is available. This was made possible through donations from the community, in conjunction with the Municipality of Bluewater. Blue Bayfield also hosts and participates in beach and park clean ups, educates the local community on this important topic and encourages action! It works alongside many other local community groups, businesses and government to help create a sustainable environment from land to lake.
