For many people with life-threatening illnesses the only choice for end of life care has, up to now, been a hospital palliative care bed or home care. There are many people who are not able to be cared for at home, and the hospital choice is extremely limited in our area, with little facilities for visiting families. A residential hospice offers a completely different choice. A home -like place where families can be together for the final days of their loved one's life, without having to worry about them being kept comfortable; a place where children and grandchildren can all visit; a place where families can even celebrate birthdays or other special events that the loved one would otherwise miss An aerial view of the Huron Residential Hospice set to open in the spring of 2018. (Submitted photo) On Aug. 31, a beautiful 12 -acre property near Clinton was purchased by Huron Hospice with a view to renovating and extending the house to offer a four-bedroom residential hospice. A fundraising committee has been established to raise at least the $2.5 million needed to complete the purchase and renovation of the property. It is hoped that the Huron Residential Hospice will open its doors in mid-March 2018. Hospice embraces the unique needs of each of its residents, helping them to live life as fully as possible until the end of life. It will offer 24-hour care and support by staff with specialised skills in palliative care, as well as highly trained volunteers. This service will be provided free of charge to residents and their families. A group of Bayfield residents have come together to add their support to the "Moments Matter" fundraising campaign for Huron Residential Hospice. As part of this initiative, they are holding a series of unique social fundraising events — the "Coffee Tree for Hospice"! The idea is based on a "pyramid scheme" but the end result being a very large financial donation to the residential hospice. Seven people (one each from various towns in Huron County) become individual hosts for a coffee morning (or afternoon tea, cocktail party, etc). The guests will be given information on the new Hospice and what the fundraising aims are. These seven people will then go on to be hosts themselves and they will each invite six guests (making a total of 42 people). Over the course of five rounds, the number of guests at each coffee morning goes down from seven to three, but the number of total guests grows exponentially, with the final round amassing 840 coffee events, hosting 2,520 guests, and the total number from the whole tree is 3,619. (In Bayfield the total number would be 516). Each invitee will be asked to donate a minimum of $10 to Huron Residential Hospice. Any donation of $20 or over will receive a tax receipt. This means that the minimum amount raised would be $36,190! All coffee events will be concluded by mid-December. Zentangle" on Friday, Oct. 27. The "Learn to Paint II" workshop will be held at St. Andrew's United Church on Oct. 16. Participants will paint in acrylic and a color theory lecture is included. The session is limited to 20 participants. The event cost is $20 or join the Guild for $25. A supply list will be sent to participants. To register please email Bayfieldartistguild@gmail.com.

TURNER TO SPEAK AT FUNDRAISER FOR VILLAGE FOODBANK The Photography Club of Bayfield PCoB) is proud to sponsor an "Evening with Brad Turner" on Thursday, Oct. 19 at the Bayfield Town Hall. The general public is invited to come to what should be a very entertaining evening starting at 7:30 p.m. Admission will be free to all with a suggested donation at the door to the Bayfield Foodbank (Feed my Sheep). Born and raised in Bayfield, Turner attended high school at H.B. Beal Secondary School in London, ON to pursue radio and television production. While there, he borrowed the money from his mother and beloved local teacher, Ede Turner, to buy his first camera — a Pentax film camera. He began taking pictures of his childhood home of Bayfield and taught himself how to process the film. What began as a creative exploration of his unique point of view of Bayfield has led to an award-winning career as a producer and director in television and film. Turner also has a love for fine art, and owns the Turner Gallery in Bayfield, which sells and promotes living Canadian artists. As most of area residents probably already know, Turner has become a genuine Bayfield success story having directed over 300 episodes of popular television. During his four-year tenure on the critically acclaimed FOX series, '24', he won an Emmy Award and served as an Executive Producer for the final two seasons. In 2005, he directed the CBC mini-series, 'Human Cargo', which won several Gemini Awards, including Best Director, and garnered a prestigious Peabody Award. Over the past few years, Brad and his wife, Jessica, have worked in New Zealand producing the fantasy series, 'The Shannara Chronicles'. The second season begins premiering this fall on SpikeTV and Netflix. Other recent credits include: 'Designated Survivor', 'Daredevil', Homeland' and 'Agents of S.H.I.EL.D.'. From Los Angeles to New York and Vancouver, Paris to Auckland and Capetown, Turner has maintained a passion for photography. "Over my career I've seen camera formats change from film to digital with a wide variety of technology available, but one thing that has remained constant is the narrative power of good composition," he said. In his presentation, Turner will share his journey through the various camera formats he has utilized in his highly successful career — starting with his early photographs from Bayfield, work from his travels in production - and video work, including drone footage from this past summer in Bayfield. Members of the PCoB feel that this is truly an amazing opportunity to see and hear the "Boy from Bayfield". STILL TIME TO APPLY FOR FUNDING F - -L invites you to...

Homeowners can please call the number listed above. receive up to 50 per cent of the cash costs to a maximum of $500. Design of the garden and the application can be completed now in preparation for garden construction, which takes place next year. Rain gardens are low -maintenance gardens that can be designed to match existing landscaping, formal gardens or natural gardens. Homeowners can choose plants specifically to attract birds, butterflies, and other pollinators. There has been considerable interest in rain gardens since the demonstration gardens went in at Pioneer Park last year, said Hope Brock, Healthy Watersheds technician with ABCA. "Not only is this funding a great opportunity to beautify your property, but homeowners can actively help protect water quality," she said. "By capturing stormwater in rain gardens, homeowners can slow down runoff, and help prevent polluted runoff from reaching storm sewers and, ultimately, the lake." Bayfield homeowners interested in receiving funding to create a rain garden on their property should contact a local landscape professional who has received a Landscape Ontario endorsed rain garden certificate. (To find a list, visit the ABCA rain gardens page at this link: abca.on.ca/page.php?page=rain-gardens). Once the contractor has provided a plan and a quote for the garden, the homeowner will need to contact ABCA staff for a site visit to complete the application, which is available online. Grants, subject to approval, are paid out upon satisfactory completion of the rain garden. Homeowners can apply for funding without a contractor but preference is given to the applications that use a certified contractor. Rain gardens are shallow, sunken gardens. They protect local water quality when they collect, absorb and filter water running off of land during storms. When it rains or when snow melts, water runs off roofs, patios, and driveways. Rain gardens can prevent this water, along with contaminants the runoff picks up, from draining directly into a local storm sewer or nearby watercourses. "Rain gardens provide benefits to water quality," said Brock. "Rain gardens reduce flooding and erosion, and they can also add beauty to your yard and create habitat."

Bacon and cheddar stuffed 12" hot dog on a Red Cat brioche bun with sauerkraut and spicy mustard served up with a choice of sides. It's arrival at your table is sure to spark some incredulous looks and maybe a request for a "doggy bag" - pun intended.

I have Blyth roots on my maternal side so a trip to the village always feels like coming home and this new facility is a true marvel for the community. I knew the food was going to be excellent after meeting and talking with the Executive Chef back on media day. The Cowbell Kitchen did not disappoint. I was all set to try something off the menu when our server told us cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week421ssue432/tabid/853/Default.aspx 12/14 6/13/2019 a Ready to indulge in the special of the day at the Cowbell Kitchen - Eggs Benedict featuring Smoked Salmon and a side of Cajun Sweet Potato fries. Never even looked at the menu when I heard this was an option. Divine! (Photo by Kyrstie Pounder) week 42 Issue 432 the special and she listed three of my favorite things in one sentence, "Eggs Benedict and Smoked Salmon with (Cajun) Sweet Potato Fries." All eyes at the table turned to me as I may have squealed a little. For the rest of my dining companions a read of the menu was in the offing. They selected the Prosciutto and Arugla Pizza, the Classic Burger, the Smoked Port Ribs and two in our party went for the BIG DOG. All the food was enjoyed but the BIG DOGs got the most incredulous responses when they arrived at the table — let's just say they are aptly named. In fact I noticed with some humor that a couple at the table near us both ordered hotdogs — the husband got the BIG DOG and the wife the Kelly Dog (which is a regularly sized hotdog). Their meals looked like something Dr. Seuss might have dreamed up. Our grandson was impressed with his chicken fingers and fries while our wee granddaughter did her best on the child's grilled cheese. Not sure how they did it but my step -kids had room for dessert. One tried the Beer Pie which is pie with a pretzel and graham cracker crust, Fly Girl Nitro Oatmeal Stout and dark chocolate custard with a roasted marshmallow meringue; while the other heartily enjoyed the Maple and whisky Creme Brulee. And the grandkids were most pleased with their chocolate ice cream. In keeping with the chef's vision of working with local vendors it was wonderful to see familiar names on the menu such as Metzger's Meats, Red Cat Bakery and Shop Bike Coffee. Oh, and yes, some in our group tried the beer flights and enjoyed the sampling. I myself am not a fan of beer and was rather looking forward to trying a nitrogen based craft soda but alas they are still coming soon. Oh, well, a good excuse to make another visit "home". - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
