June is Seniors Month and One Care Home and Community Support Services kicked off the
month with a fundraising and awareness walk, "The Grand Parade", in Stratford on Saturday,
June 2.
One Care is a local, charitable, non-profit organization delivering home and community support
services to 6,000 seniors and people with disabilities in Huron and Perth. Programs include:
Home Care, Meals on Wheels, Dining for Seniors, Transportation and Exercise and Wellness.
These and other programs help people to live in their own homes and be involved in their

"The Bayfield Amblers", comprising Gary Lloyd -Rees, a One Care Board Member, and his wife,
Kate, took part in the walk raising over $600 out of a total of over $20,000.
Gary Lloyd -Rees said, "Funds raised from this event will subsidize clients who cannot afford
fees for services like Meals on Wheels, Transportation and Home Help as well as replacing
aging accessible vans that are essential to give people transportation to enable them to be
active in our community."
He added, "I would like to thank all local residents and businesses who supported the walk by
participating, sponsoring or donating. We would also like to invite Bayfield residents, young and
old, to join us as part of the Bayfield Amblers team next year."

On Sunday June 24, the Bayfield River Valley Trail
Association (BRVTA) will host a "Land Management
Experience" at the Linfield Wildlife Area.
Starting at 2 p.m., join members of the BRVTA for a
walk with Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority
(ABCA) Land Management Supervisor Kate Monk to
learn how water and soil resources and wildlife
habitat will be preserved at the Linfield Wildlife Area,
one of the newest conservation lands in the ABCA
watersheds.
This property was in the Linfield family for several
generations and lovingly cared for and enhanced
during this time by the family. Since the donation of
the property, Monk has been the lead manager to
continue to manage the property in an
environmentally responsible way. The property is
about 95 acres in size, including 70 acres of active
farm land and 25 acres of natural areas. Hiking, bird -
watching, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and
fishing are permitted activities in the wildlife area.
ABCA intends to develop additional windbreaks,
grassed waterways and tree planting in the coming
years.
The hike will be approximately 2 KMs on a primitive,
natural surface, trail through mature woodlot and
wind breaks. The trail can be quite wet, depending
on weather conditions and there may possibly be
some poison ivy. The Difficulty Level is Level 2 with
uneven trail. The trail is used all year for walking, bird
watching and snow shoeing. Pets are requested to
be kept on leash.
It is suggested that participants wear sturdy walking
or hiking shoes, long pants and insect repellant. They
are encouraged to bring a refillable water container
plus a tree or birding identification book.
The Linfield Wildlife Area is located west of the
Pavilion Road and Goshen Line intersection,
southwest of Varna and north of Zurich.
Participants are asked to meet at the parking area
and Linfield Trailhead sign at 2 p.m. The walk will
take approximately 2 hours. All are welcome to be
part of this great hiking opportunity!

sponsored by Steam Whistle Brewery, The Virtual High School, and Deb Penhale from Lake
Huron Real Estate.
David Wise, one of Australia's top croquet players, also an opera singer and competitive sailor,
is returning this year.
Last year he was quoted as saying, "Of the hundreds of tournaments I have played in
worldwide over the years, Bayfield is by far and away the best."
Rich Lamm, a top US player has also confirmed a spot in the Open, "I've heard so much about
this charming, hospitable little village and its internationally recognized tournament, that I have
to come and see for myself."
Brian Cumming, Canada's top ranked player from Elora, ON, is also returning after spending
the year on the global circuit.
"I'd never miss Bayfield - top caliber play and fun social events," he said.
Cumming was the skip for Team Canada last July in Brighton, England, where Canada and
Sweden tied for first. The other three players on Team Canada, Bill Rowat, of Bayfield; Nick
Mitchell, of Salem, ON; and Jim Wright, of Toronto, ON, have also entered the Bayfield
tournament.
DONATIONS TO FOOD BANK
WELCOME AT ROGERS' CONCERT
Garnet Rogers (Photo by Bruce Dienes)
The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society is
delighted to have renowned performer, Garnet
Rogers grace the stage on Friday, June 15.
When he was barely out of high school, Rogers
was on the road as a full-time working musician
with his older brother, Stan. Together they
formed what has come to be accepted as one
of the most influential acts in North American
folk music.
Since then, Rogers has established himself as
a major talent, hailed by the Boston Globe as a
"charismatic performer and singer". He is also a
man with a powerful physical presence, close to
six and a half feet tall with a voice to match.
The Washington Post refers to him as a "smooth, dark baritone" with incredible range, and
thoughtful, dramatic phrasing. Rogers is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of
the finest singers anywhere.
His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful.
Cinematic in detail, his songs according to the Kitchener Waterloo Record, "give expression to
the unspoken vocabulary of the heart".
An optimist, he sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the
small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs, his over -the -top humor and
lightning -quick wit can move his audience from tears to laughter and back again.
In 2016, Rogers released his book, "Night Drive — Travels with My Brother".
According to Rogers, the work contains "stories about how Stan and I grew up together,
discovered music together, and learned to play in a band and travel together. How the songs
got written and recorded. What life was like on the road before there was an independent
music scene. And nearly every stupid, inexplicable and bizarre thing that could happen to a
pair of young idiots who were naive enough to think they could play folk music for a living back
in the mid-70s and early 80s."
The Young Novelists (Submitted photo)
On Friday, June 22, the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage
Society will welcome "The Young Novelists".
Since the band's inception in 2009, The Young
Novelists' effortless harmonies have been heard
across stages in the U.S. and Canada and have
been compared to everyone from "The Band" to
"Wilco". The Town Hall performance follows the
recent release of their new album, "in City &
Country", produced by Juno -winning producer
Howard Bilerman who has also worked with "Arcade
Fire" and "Leonard Cohen".
When they first met, band members, Graydon James
and Laura Spink had no idea that they would be
married one day - much less touring the world
together as The Young Novelists. They have
released three full-length albums, won numerous
awards and continuous praise for their unmatched,
effortless harmonies. But for their new album. the
Toronto-based band decided to travel out of the city
and in to small-town Ontario in order to connect the
two places.
After years of firsthand experience combined with
historical research, James and Spink wrote over 30
songs inspired by a dozen Canadian towns. From
that set, "In City & Country" was born, a collection of
ten songs that tell the universal stories of both
parallels while highlighting the differences, similarities
and everything in-between. One of the songs, "Two
of a Kind", was inspired by a visit to Goderich!
They both grew up in Ontario; Spink in Peterborough
and James in Verona, a small eastern town with a
population of a mere 1,800. They both moved to
Waterloo for university, where they met via
community theatre, but it wasn't until James decided
to refocus his career from drummer to front man that
they combined their talent musically.
"I had written a bunch of songs and recorded them in
my basement, mostly for posterity," said James, "I
asked Laura to sing harmony on some of the songs
and it instantly had this magical vibe."
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. There
is a cash bar. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the concert
will begin at 7:30 p.m.
For tickets call Mark Edmunds 519 521-2994 or

Resolutely independent, Rogers has turned down offers from major labels to do his music his
own way.
The Bayfield Town Hall doors will open at 7 p.m. with the concert starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets
are $30 in advance or $35 at the door. There will be a cash bar.
For tickets call Mike at 519 565-5489 or Sandy at 519 565-2830 or purchase them online at
www.ticketscene.ca.
Note also that Rogers encourages that when possible, audience members bring non-
perishable donations of food, and items of personal care such as, shampoo, toothpaste or
soap to help the less fortunate in the community. The BTHHS Board will ensure that all
donations go directly to the Bayfield Foodbank (Feed My Sheep).

ABCA BREAKS TEN YEAR RECORD IN
NUMBER OF TREE PLANTINGS
The majority of the trees are row -planted using a tractor pulling a two -seated planter. Seated planters are able
to plant more than 4,000 trees per day. (Submitted photos)
Tree planters at the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) have planted more than
56,000 trees in the spring of 2018. This is the highest single -year total for spring tree plantings
by staff in the watershed in the past ten years, said Ian Jean, Forestry and Land Stewardship
specialist with ABCA.
The successful planting of so many trees took place despite a late start this year. Tree planters
started planting later than normal this year because of cold and snowy weather in April. The
tree planters were still able to get the trees planted before the end of May.

Western Massachusetts. He is pursuing a Bachelor
of Arts while majoring in Political Science and
French. PJ is looking forward to continuing his
research project from last summer when he
implemented a walking program and evaluated the

"We finished before the Victoria Day long weekend thanks to hard work by staff and the tree
planting crew," said Jean. "We could not have planted these tens of thousands of trees without
the support of local landowners and other partners including those who fund tree planting and
stewardship incentive programs."
Tree planters at the Ausaole Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) have planted more than ir._es in
the spring of 2018.
The majority of the trees are row -planted using a tractor pulling a two -seated planter. Seated
planters are able to plant more than 4,000 trees per day. Crew members must plant trees with
a shovel in areas that are steeper or more remote.
ABCA plants trees when funding is available through donations (such as those made through
the Carbon Footprints to Forests carbon counter -balance program at footprintstoforests.com)
or supported by community groups, government departments and ministries, and other
organizations with programs that support tree planting.
The majority of tree planting done by ABCA is on privately -owned farms and other rural
properties with the participation of local agricultural producers and other rural landowners. Staff
work with participating landowners to develop a plan and to access funding to help reduce the
cost of the trees and planting.
The spring tree planting work was successful but there is still a lot of work left to do this year
for forestry and stewardship staff at ABCA. Staff members will be working closely with
landowners, residents, and community groups throughout 2018 to provide grant support and
technical expertise in planting and stewardship projects. Now is one of the best times of the
year to start site planning and preparation for tree planting later this year or early next year,
according to staff.
To find out more about tree planting and forestry services at ABCA visit their tree planting page
at abca.ca at this link: https://www.abca.ca/page.php?page=tree-planting
Trees along watercourses improve water quality and provide wildlife habitat and travel
corridors.
ABCA sells more than 50,000 trees each year to more than 200 landowners through tree order
programs in the spring and autumn. People in the watershed buy trees for conservation
projects such as windbreaks, watercourse buffers, reforestation of erosion -prone slopes, or
tree planting on marginal agricultural lands. Trees and windbreaks provide a variety of benefits
for soil, water and property owners.
"Planting trees for windbreaks reduces soil erosion, wind stress on field crops, and benefits
livestock as well," said Jean. "Windbreaks keep drifting snow away from homes and farms,
reduce winter heating costs and summer cooling costs, keep spray application from leaving the
field, reduce soil erosion, protect livestock from extremes of heat and cold, and more."
SERVICE WITH A SMHLE
expanding the scope of his research to include a
"buddy system," whereby participants will complete
the walking program with a friend. Additionally, PJ will
be assisting with the Hometown Heroes charity
hockey game and he looks forward to playing in the
game again this year.
Alex Conlon
Alex Conlon recently completed his third year of
medical school at The Royal College of Surgeons in
Dublin, Ireland. He is excited to be continuing a
project focused on educating patients and their
families on long acting injectable medications and
their use in various mental health disorders. It will
take place in the outpatient clinics in Goderich,
Seaforth, Wingham, Exeter and Clinton. He is hoping
to gain both clinical experience as well as knowledge
on mental health in the rural setting. Alex plans to
continue his schooling in Ireland and plans on
practicing in Canada after he graduates.

On Thursday campers will explore planes, trains and automobiles: Youth will find out what
moves Huron's vehicles and mighty machines past and present, from boats in the harbor, to
tractors in the field, to planes at the air flight training schools as well as the museum's famous
indoor locomotive.
On Friday campers will get animated: Children will animate moving pictures using techniques
from 19th century optical illusions to a demonstration of modern 3D modelling.
Campers can test their Victorian manners at an (iced) tea party to end the week!

CYCLING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
INTRODUCES ONE METRE LAW
Celebrate Bike Month this June by learning how you can enjoy cycling safely in our
communities, and help others cycle safely too.
The Huron County Cycling Advisory Committee (HCCAC) has hosted several Bike
Maintenance Workshops at local libraries across the County this May and June. The
workshops focus on bike safety and bike maintenance. Two workshops remain — in Goderich
on June 14 and in Clinton on June 26 both one-hour sessions will begin at 6:45 p.m.
The committee is also sharing information on important cycling topics for both cyclists and
drivers, like the one -metre law.
Under the one -metre law, drivers are required to leave at least one metre when passing
cyclists. The penalty for passing within one metre is a $110 fine and two demerit points. The
HCCAC and Huron County OPP have developed an educational tool to teach cyclists and
motorists about the law.
"Cycling is a great way to see your community, engage in physical activity and is great for the
environment as well," said Laura O'Rourke, Public Health promoter at the Huron County Health
Unit. "Celebrating Bike Month allows the committee to raise awareness of cycling through great
events and important information."
The HCCAC is the organization responsible for implementing Huron County's Cycling Strategy
The strategy is currently in its second year of implementation.
For more information and upcoming local cycling events, check out the Huron County Cycling
Strategy's Facebook page. www.facebook.com/huroncountycyclingstrategy
DONATION OF NOTE
BE SUN SAFE
With another great summer on the horizon, the
Huron County Health Unit reminds residents to enjoy
the sun safely.
"Sun safety is important all year round," said Laura
O'Rourke, Public Health promoter. "Ultraviolet
radiation, or UV rays, from the sun cause sunburns,
skin cancer and eye damage."
Children are most at risk because they tend to spend
more time outdoors when the sun's rays are the
strongest. They also have skin that is generally more
sensitive to the sun.
Here's how you can protect yourself and your family
this summer:
Limit time in the sun when the UV index is higher,
usually between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Seek shade or make your own — bring an umbrella.
Wear lightweight clothing that covers as much skin
as possible.
Choose an approved broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Apply plenty of sunscreen with SPF 30 or more.
Reapply often, especially after swimming or
sweating. Use a sunscreen lip balm, too. Wear close -
fitting or wrap-around sunglasses with UV 400 or 100
per cent UV protection. Do not use sunscreen on
babies less than six months old. Protect them by
keeping them out of direct sunlight.

"The Men of Note" is a non -denominational male choir consisting of around 25 members. They recently
celebrated their 20th anniversary as a choir and performed a concert. Instead of charging admission, a free
will offering was collected with all profits being donated to the Huron County Food Bank Distribution Centre.
The choir members would like to thank all of those who attended this event and for their generous support for
the cause. Mary Ellen Zielman, Executive director of the HCFBDC, recently accepted a cheque from choir
members, Owen Numan and Richard Bergsma. The Men of Note practice in Clinton from September to May
and perform for various churches as well as seniors' homes. (Submitted photo)

followed with a plea for people to consider
becoming foster parents for a Dog Guide pup in
training just as they did two years ago.
Wendy Donaldson followed up on behalf of the St.
John Ambulance Therapy Dog program. With her
own anecdotal stories of the value that this
program provides to people in nursing homes or
other restricted environments. She made a strong
case to dog owners to consider getting their own
pets certified for this program. At the end of
Sunday's event she had registered three new
Therapy Dog candidates.
Dr. Nancy Ridder, from Heubner Ridder
Veterinary Hospital, in Goderich, gave some great
tips on making dogs less fearful allowing them to
be safer pets and easier to treat in a veterinary
setting. Shannon Brennan, from Barks of
Bayfield, talked about the importance of making
your dog more comfortable with being touched all
over resulting in a happier dog who is also more
amenable to grooming. Both Ridder and Brennan
emphasised the value of using treats to
accomplish these objectives.
Sergeant Lee Currah, from the London Police K9
unit, explained the various types of activities K9
officers got involved in. His own dog, Cooper, was
getting post graduate training in explosives
detection.
Melissa Brighton, a Vet Tech, was a big hit again
this year as she offered prizes for correct answers
to dog -related questions. Along the way everyone
became more informed about pet health. All
prizes were generously donated by PetValu of
Goderich.
Coming back again as Keynote speaker was
Elizabeth Jaremko and her Hearing Ear Dog,
Heart. Becoming deaf immediately after birth,
Jaremko's life changed for the better when she
finally was blessed with her new life partner
several years ago. Through her mom Sarah's
interpretation of her signing, she told us and
showed us how Heart has made her be more
independent and venture out on her own to
Mohawk College; Heart always by her side to
help.

festivities on June 3.
Lion Dave Overboe provided a short history of the Dog
Guide Program and the important role it plays in the lives
of people with special needs.
Bonnie Hirst, of Greenacre Dog Agility and
Training, provided some good suggestions on
training using only positive methods which
included a generous use of treats. Although
training through force and fear may give some
short term results it inevitably leads to long term
issues and makes for a very unhappy, and
possibly dangerous, partnership for both dog and
owner. As a finale to the morning, her team put on
a canine agility demonstration. Audience
members were encouraged to have their dogs go
through the agility course as well for fun.
A gift basket, generously donated by The Barkery,
of Stratford, was raffled off and refreshments in
the form of hot dogs rounded out the morning.
The event was both entertaining and educational
and helped support a very worthwhile cause.
New this year, the Photography Club of Bayfield
provided pet owners an opportunity to have
portraits taken of their dog(s) with or without
human family members throughout the morning.
All proceeds went to the Dog Guide program.
This feature will be continued next year.
"We will continue to run our annual program in
Clan Gregor Square to increase its visibility and
to engage the whole community in this important
project," said Pal.

SUBMISSIONS
It is with heavy heart that I share this news with our community this week. Richard Dick has died.
Richard and his wife the late Sarah Dick are the names of a couple that were once synonymous with Bayfield. For forty years
they played store in what I believe to be one of the most marvelous shops that ever graced Main Street. The Village Guild
closed its doors at the end of 2002 and the couple moved full time to Florida. Sarah was 78 and Richard 83 when they officially
"retired".
The following is Richard's obituary as it was kindly emailed to me. - Melody
Melody Falconer -Pounder Richard Dick (1918-2018), resident of South Port Square Retirement Community, Florida, passed away at Tidewell Hospice
House in Port Charlotte on May 28. He was ninety-nine.
Perhaps it was his sense of humor and amiable temperament that made for such longevity. Raconteur and repository of outrageous puns, his light touch
delighted his Junior High students in the Dearborn, Michigan, Public School System, his customers at The Village Guild gift store in Bayfield Ontario,
Canada and fellow residents at South Port Square Retirement Community, Port Charlotte, Florida. As a math teacher, his long division class frequently
required the words "go into" ("How many times does three go into nine?"); he conflated the phrase into a single word "guzzinter' — while still, of course,
requiring the right answer. At his last hospital visit when returning from an X-ray, he quipped, "They determined I'm not pregnant."
He combined jovial informality with engagement in the real world. He, with his late wife Sarah, travelled the world long before travel became a global
industry, visiting over one hundred and fifty countries, calling on fellow stamp collectors along the way. Until the last few months, he ran an active business
as a stamp dealer. He was the principal of Orleans American School in France (1953-5) and, prior to his teaching career, was a Marine Engineer in World
War 11. He was an active campaigner for Civil Rights which included a night in jail (an event he considered a badge of honor), a protester against the
Vietnam War, and an activist against a phosphate plant near the Peace River.
Such energy was matched by his irrepressible wife of sixty-seven years, Sarah Dick (nee Sarah Kanter) 1924-2014. They married after a storybook love at
first sight. He was the son of Harold A. Dick, of Chicago and Florence A. Hallet, of St. Paul, Minnesota, and had a predeceased sister, Betty. He leaves
numerous nephews and nieces as well as an extended and extensive family of treasured friends collected over the years, all drawn to such a colorful
figure, happy to be included in this world-class stamp collector's album of life.
The memorial service will be at 2 p.m. on Thursday, June 7th at South Port Square, Gables East.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to Habitat for Humanity or United Universalist Fellowship of Charlotte County.
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@yEggeofbayfield.com or call 519-525-3830.
