OX 111 V INITY STUDENT El cc.viIlageofbayfield.com/Members/Bayfield Breeze/Week181ssue460/tabid/881/Default.aspx 1/19 6/11/2019 Week 18 Issue 460 SAVE OUR ICE We Support BAYFIELD lla fit OP'r�iM/IST ,...,,, . ...,..� %+ Two hundred and forty-six days after Bluewater Council voted to permanently remove ice from the Bayfield Arena a majority of councilors finally agreed to rescind the motion giving the area and village residents a local place to skate for the 2018-19 season. "The motion passed in August of 2017 to remove the ice was rescinded, thanks to Councilor Hill. She has become a great supporter for Bayfield," explained Sandy Scotchmer, a spokesperson for the Bayfield Arena Community Partners Association (BACPA) and the Bayfield Facilities Initiative Team (BFIT). Councilor Marnie Hill, is the representative for the Hensall Ward. Council then passed a motion to install ice for the coming season with a financial contribution of $20,000 from BACPA/BFIT prior to installation. BACPA and BFIT have joined forces to become one entity in their efforts for the community arena to alleviate public confusion. BACPA/BFIT prepared and submitted to council on Apr. 10 a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enter into negotiations with the Municipality on a public-private partnership to operate the arena. At the council meeting staff were directed to review this MOU and report back. "Council also passed a motion to begin a Feasibility Study of recreation needs in Bayfield and catchment areas that will conclude with a report to Council scheduled for October 2018. Included in the terms of reference for the outside consultant to review, is the public-private partnership that BACPA/BFIT wants to enter into with the Municipality," said Scotchmer. Monteith Brown Planning Consultants has been retained by the Municipality to complete the Bayfield Complex Feasibility Study at a cost of $56,500 inclusive of tax. "It was suggested at the Council meeting that the Feasibility Study not be completed at all - save the money and put it towards the ice, or public-private partnership, but Council wants to proceed with the study," said Scotchmer. "A $30,000 grant was applied for by Bluewater which has now been approved." Scotchmer noted that area residents are now asking what should be done with their "Save Our Ice" lawn signs? Scotchmer expressed a strong need to keep the 600 that were distributed in place. "Just because we have the ice back for a year, we can't become complacent - we still have much work ahead of us through the summer as the consulting firm Monteith and Brown begins its study of the recreation needs of the village and the public-private partnership preferred by BACPA/BFIT," she said. "We need to keep the village engaged, especially our summer residents." According to Scotchmer, Deputy Mayor Jim Fergusson suggested he would like to hear the views of summer residents with regards to the ice and the arena throughout the study. So to recap, the answer to the question — what to do with those "Save Our Ice" signs? Emily Webb The congregation of Knox Presbyterian Church, Bayfield is pleased to welcome Emily Webb as their summer Divinity Student. She will arrive in early May and be living in the village where she will be welcomed into both the church family and it is hoped the community at large. Webb is between her second and third year of studies at Knox College in the Master of Divinity program. She is from Sundridge, ON, which is a small village just north of Muskoka. Before following God's call into ministry, Webb worked as an archaeological scientist at The University of Western Ontario and at the University of Bristol in the UK. She is passionate about worship: what we do in church on Sundays and how we can live missional, worship -shaped lives that share Christ's love with the world. She feels called to ordained ministry in the Presbyterian Church in Canada and is looking forward to worshipping, working and growing this summer with the congregation at Bayfield. Trilliums and other wildflowers should be plentiful on the Family Hike at the Bannockburn Conservation Area hosted by the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) on May 12. Those who participate in this hike that will begin at 2 p.m. are encouraged to bring their wildflower books, if they have any, to help increase their knowledge and to share with other hikers. Cameras are also encouraged. Bannockburn is home to six different natural communities: wet meadow, white cedar, deciduous forest, marsh, old field and aquatic. The trail is 2 KMs long, difficulty is level 3 and the hike will be medium pace, so should take approximately one hour. The trail is also partially wheelchair accessible. The conservation area is located at 76249 Bannockburn Line, the first road east of Varna. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Weekl81ssue460/tabid/881/Default.aspx 2/19 6/11/2019 Week 18 Issue 460 "Don't remove them as we want the Consultant to see the support throughout the village," Scotchmer concluded. "Definitely keep them up!" SPRING IS FINALLY HERE AND SO IS John Siertsema, of Bayfield, oversaw the draw table at the most recent meeting of the Bayfield Garden Club.

RAIN GARDEN GRANTS AVAILABLE 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. (Submitted photo) Bayfield residents have a chance to protect their lake, make their properties even more beautiful, and get grants to do it by planting rain gardens. "Local people suggested rain gardens as a management solution for dealing with urban runoff in the community-based Main Bayfield Watershed Plan," said Hope Brock, Healthy Watersheds technician with Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). "Now homeowners have this great opportunity to install a rain garden and help protect Lake Huron." Rain gardens are shallow, sunken gardens. They collect, absorb and filter runoff and help prevent polluted runoff from reaching storm sewers and, ultimately, the lake. 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 in Bayfield in 2016, said Brock. "With this funding, we are trying to make it easier for homeowners to bring some of that beauty to their own yard," she said. "By capturing storm water in rain gardens, homeowners can help with localized flooding as rain gardens actually absorb more water than a grassed lawn." 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 abca.ca at this link: https://www.abca.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 at abca.ca. 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. A single downspout rain garden typically costs between $1,000 and $3,000 but will vary on the size of the garden. Bayfield homeowners can receive up to 50 per cent of the cash costs to a maximum of $500. The Huron County Clean Water Project and the Municipality of Bluewater, through its Blue Flag initiative, have provided funding. JESSIE PAYNE JOINS GATEWAY TO PURSUE RESEARCH PROJECT He captures the spirit and intensity of Springsteen's live performance, spanning his entire catalogue.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the concert starts at 7:30 p.m. The BTHHS Board would like to thank Deb Penhale for her donation in support of this concert. For those with an interest in classical music, the BTHHS will also host an "Evening with Beethoven", performed by members of the London Symphonia on Thursday, May 24. At its core, the London Symphonia is a professional symphony committed to performing vibrant and bold musical experiences for London and the region.

It is now London's foremost orchestra, celebrated as one of the best in Canada. Performers will include: Christine Newland, Cello; Joseph Lanza, Concertmaster; Andrew Chung, Violinist; and Jennifer Short, Second Oboe/English Horn. For tickets please contact Mike van Baardwyk, 519 565-5489, Pat Baker, 519 955-1456, or Shelagh Sully, 519 565-2572, or purchase online at www.ticketscene.ca. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the concert will start at 7:30 p.m. 1 L` I BAl 1ULD May 6th is the date set for the annual Huron Hospice Hike. On previous hikes, several Bayfield residents have individually participated in this special annual fundraiser. This year, Penny Overboe and myself would like to form a "Team Bayfield"," said Lynda Steenstra, a Bayfield resident. "Let's hike as an united team!" "We also encourage anyone who would not be able to hike, to make a donation under "Team Bayfield", on the Huron Hospice Hike home page (ch pca.convio.net)," she added. Hikers are also able to obtain their donor record sheet at that same web address. Anyone wanting to join "Team Bayfield" are asked to contact either Penny at lionsdavepenny@gmail.com cc.viIlageofbayfield.com/Members/Bayfield Breeze/Week181ssue460/tabid/881/Default.aspx 4/19 6/11/2019 Jessie Payne (Submitted photo) Week 18 Issue 460 Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health (GCERH) in Goderich is pleased to announce the arrival of their first research student of the summer, Jessie Payne. Payne is pursuing her undergraduate degree in a Bachelor of Science Honors in Biotechnology with a specialization in Neuroscience at Queen's University as a Schulich Leader Scholar. She hopes to pursue future studies in medicine and research through a Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering. Growing up in Bayfield, Payne joins GCERH with an understanding of rural life as well as the challenges and beneficial aspects that are part of it. She hopes to apply this knowledge to the research project, "Lonely No More" under the supervision of Dr. Feng Chang, GCERH board chair and research chair, and management of GCERH Board Member Sheila Schuehlein. She aims to enhance our knowledge of seniors in rural areas experiencing isolation and loneliness; with the ultimate goal of supporting these seniors through resources currently available to them and by offering training to their caregivers. This will hopefully provide a sustainably enhanced quality of life for all parties involved. Payne is focussed on improving rural healthcare in other aspects of her life, in addition to her contribution to "Lonely No More". After being named the Queen's University's Schulich Leader Scholar for 2016, she began to act on the opportunities put forth by the prestigious foundation. While attending a Schulich Leader conference this past fall, Payne saw a presentation given by Dr. Julielynn Wong centered around using 3D printing technology to feasibly innovate healthcare in rural and isolated areas. She signed up to join Dr. Wong's team as a Medical Maker and has since founded an official Kingston Medical Maker chapter at Queen's. The Kingston Medical Makers, through her leadership are dedicated to innovative healthcare, research, and bringing the modern calibre of medicine from developed countries to developing countries and rural, isolated areas around the globe through 3D printing. She will head to the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah in the Spring of 2019 to continue testing the technology, put her designed and printed prototypes to use in the field, as well as explore the efficacy of using drones to restock the 3D printer materials in remote locations. In addition to exploring the vision of bringing cost effective and innovative medicine to rural areas as a Medical Maker, Payne is pursuing research at GCERH, which is also devoted to the improvement of rural health and healthcare delivery. While working on the "Lonely No More" project, she hopes to improve the quality of life of socially isolated seniors and in turn reduce the loneliness they may feel. This innovative, peer -based model aims to connect seniors with their peers and address the social isolation experienced by seniors of rural Perth, Huron, Grey, and Bruce Counties through education events and coaching sessions. This project will foster community volunteerism and involvement and it will also create sustainable support networks for at -risk seniors by educating them and volunteers on available resources and self-care tactics. GCERH is excited to see this project unfold and see the beneficial impact it imparts onto the community.

CO LUNCH All are invited by the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS) Board of Directors for their Sixth Annual Community Luncheon on Monday, May 28. The luncheon is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and hear about the cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Weekl81ssue460/tabid/881/Default.aspx 5/19 6/11/2019 Week 18 Issue 460 The official Grand Opening of the new four -bed Huron Residential Hospice will be on May 6. (Submitted photo) Huron Residential Hospice (HRH), located on Hwy 8, between Holmesville and Clinton, will host this year's annual "Hike for Hospice" fundraiser on Sunday, May 6 to support the expansion of hospice palliative care programs that will add residential hospice beds in the community this spring. The event will also include the official Grand Opening of the new four -bed Hospice and the event will provide the public with an opportunity to visit the home before residents are admitted HRH will provide daily, around-the-clock care and support through highly skilled registered nursing staff who have specialized training in hospice palliative care as well as dedicated trained volunteers who also have expertise in hospice palliative care. The "Hike for Hospice" is part of an ongoing $2.5 million capital funding campaign which includes the purchase of the 12 -acre property that is home to the Hospice, renovations to the existing home, and financial resources to support the first year of operations. According to census data, between 500 and 600 Huron County residents pass away each year. The four bed HRH will be able to build upon the wonderful hospice palliative care services that currently exist in Huron and Perth by providing another option where people facing end of life may seek care and support. Support for grieving family members and friends is also a critical component of a comprehensive hospice palliative care program. It is likely that almost every resident of Huron County will someday be touched by the sensitive supports and hospice palliative programs offered at or associated with HRH. The Hike for Hospice will be held at the Hospice site and will also include the new "Tranquility Trail" which is located on the property. The trail offers an opportunity for people to experience nature in a quiet setting — a place to reflect, for emotional release and restoration. It is with this intent that members of the Bayfield River Valley and Maitland Trail Associations, with the assistance of Woodland Links Golf Course, have undertaken the effort to create the gift of a walking path, through the tall grasses and natural pasture located behind the home. Everyone is invited to attend and participate at "The Hike for Hospice and Grand Opening" The event will also feature games for children, music and lots of entertainment for everyone. Registration for the hike will be held at 12:30 p.m., with the grand opening and ribbon cutting scheduled for 1:15 p.m. followed by the hike at 1:30 p.m. There will be organized tours of the home and the public is invited to come and see the home and stay to enjoy a pig roast at 3 p.m. Tickets for the dinner are $20, and children under 10 eat free.

On May 1, Community Futures Huron launched the new Taste of Huron program. The program features "Taste Your Own Adventure" tours, along with guided tours, contests and more. All located on the website www.tasteofhuron.com. Over the past two years the Taste of Huron committee has been working on a new program and ideas. "In the past Taste of Huron worked with various local food businesses to create events," said Paul Nichol, of Community Futures Huron. "While the events were really amazing, we needed to come up with a way for the program to be sustainable." This led the committee to thinking about how they could promote local food and a culinary tourism experience through online initiatives. That is when they came up with the "Taste Your Own Adventure" tours. Goderich residents and tourists alike are loving the casual and welcoming atmosphere of Square Brew. A beer tasting is included in the purchase of a Taste Your Own Adventure Tour ticket.

Starting at 6:30 p.m. in the St. Anne's gym the evening will feature performances by the Concert Band, Jazz Band, Junior Ensemble, Choir, Soloists and small ensembles. Music awards will also be presented at this event. "We have three students heading off out of the St. Anne's Music Program to study music at the post- secondary level. This is a huge number for a rural high school,"said Josh Geddis, music teacher at SACSS. "Joshua LeBlanc -Demers is heading to study Jazz Percussion; Cal Marcy is heading to study Percussion and Ben Luelo Is heading to study Alto Saxophone and Composition." A highlight of the evening will be the world premiere of "Among the Stars Soar" — a Reconciliation Project for the Band." This piece was commissioned by the Huron -Perth Catholic School Board and the SACSS Concert Band and was composed by Vince Gassi. "This is a very special piece of music in that students in the band learned about a wide survey of topics pertaining to Canada's history directly from indigenous teachers who came to the school to work with them. The students then interpreted their learning musically and reported their learning to the composer who created a piece of music. The band's performance of this piece at our May 4th concert is a culmination of almost two years of work," said Geddis. The suggested donation to attend the concert is a $5 minimum while children 12 and under are free. In addition, attendees are invited to pre -order for $10 the forthcoming St. Anne's Jazz Ensemble CD that is being recorded at the Chicago Recording Company in May.
