VHS responded to the RFP as a vendor for content development services and was ranked as the top vendor by FLVS after a rigorous review process. The announcement to award the entire project to VHS, in partnership with D2L, was posted by FLVS in August 2016 The completion of the Elementary Course Development Project is a major milestone for VHS, D2L, and FLVS. VHS and FLVS both built large teams to write, develop and review course content in eight different subject areas (Math, Technology, Science, Physical Education, English, Spanish, Social Studies and Art). Ramping up for the project meant an increase in staffing of more than 150 percent at VHS, resulting in more than 60 new staff hires to work in Bayfield and live in the surrounding area. D2L supported VHS project management and assisted in the creation of custom interactives and graphic assets for use in the courses. The final product of this project is a suite of engaging, interactive and media -rich online courses to be used by FLVS in the United States and worldwide by any of its students or clients. FLVS has reported that educational stakeholders are pleased with the outcome of the collaborative course development project and that students will have a positive experience in the online courses. FLVS, VHS and D21L are excited about the launch of the course suite for the 2018-2019 school year and eager for students to engage with the courses created over the past 18 months. The Virtual High School is an online course development company based out of Bayfield that specializes in custom course development work. VHS has developed over 125 online courses ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 12, including its work with FLVS and plans to expand its course development services in the future. VHS is also a fully online high school offering Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) credits to students worldwide.

In anticipation of this sixth annual event to be held on Sept. 2 a little Q & A was done with the event organizers: What is the history of the Run4Kids event? The Run4Kids 5 KM Run/Walk was started in 2012 to raise funds to support a child undergoing cancer treatment. Staff at VHS were inspired by the story of Will Frassinelli, a VHS student who has been battling brain cancer for over ten years. Encouraged by the generosity of participants in the past Run4Kids events, we have sought out other children's charities in the Huron County region. How do you go about selecting a wish child to sponsor? VHS contacts Make -A -Wish Southwestern Ontario who is responsible for finding a suitable candidate to sponsor. The child is typically from Huron County or a nearby region. What has the reception been like from the community? Does the Run4Kids receive a lot of support?

FRONT LINE SMILES FROM ZURICH'S MEDICAL OFFICE ASSISTANTS Editor's Note: Ron Davis is a retired journalist, and a patient with the Bluewater Area Family Health Team (BAFHT), who decided to take a closer look at the various departments at the medical clinic in Zurich and explain the different roles the staff play in making the centre tick on a daily basis. In this second article he examines the role of Medical Office Assistants (MOAB). BY RON DAVIS Kim Poortinga (Submitted photos) I'm getting into this health care stuff now. After a lifetime of receiving the best in health care and not even bothering to learn more about it, I should be ashamed of myself. I'm 73 now — I know, I know, I should have made the effort to learn. I, like so many others take everything for granted — if I get sick I know where I can get looked after properly. Last time, I talked about Nurse Practitioners and the role they play. Now, I'll explain what the Medical Office Assistants (MOAs) do and I think you will be quite surprised. If it takes 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown why would you waste energy? The MOA team at the front desk at the BAFHT medical clinic in Zurich must be believers in this message and it is rare indeed to not see a broad smile as they greet patients coming in for their appointments. The BAFHT staff at the front of the house, as they say in the restaurant trade, are the face of the clinic and they are responsible for taking down all your relevant information and completing the paperwork. They try and make you feel comfortable before your session with a specialist, Nurse Practitioner or Physician. The MOAB — Melissa Beacom, Kim Poortinga, Sarah Romphf and Meaghan Whalen - do it well. In addition to maintaining medical records and reporting statistics, the MOAB help train new employees, explain clinic policies, cancel and rebook appointments and notify patients of procedure appointments and help patients complete appropriate forms and documents. MOAs also answer the phones, check messages and faxes and handle mail. They also help look after the cleanliness of the clinic. MOAB are the "greeters" at the clinic and most of the time, the smile is always present. Never hurts to smile back either! Bluewater Blooms is hosting a contest for local gardening talents.

With rain threatening, the service was held in the Cemetery Chapel and lead by Emily Webb, summer student minister at Knox Presbyterian Church in Bayfield. The service began with prayer and singing followed by Psalm 121. The message was about storytelling and how the stories we share shape who we are and who we will become. Our personal stories interweave with the stories of families, our hometowns and our nation. It is in places where these stories intersect that community is built. The memorial stones in the cemetery do not just commemorate a death — each one represents a story. Whether we know those stories or not, because their story happened here and our stories are happening here, we are all part of the larger story of Bayfield. Christians believe that there is an even larger story of God in relationship with human beings. From Ephesians 1: 3-12, it is in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for and we learn that God wants to interweave his story with ours.

Something pretty darn wonderful that's what. And those lucky enough to have tickets to hear Ryan Malcolm and Richard Hadfield sing at the Bayfield Town Hall on Thursday, June 21 would know doubt agree. Up until the day before the concert Malcolm and Hadfield had never actually met. They connected through a mutual friend from Wales. Despite just one rehearsal the pair's significant performing experience as well as the talent of Rick Lobb (drums), Robert Whyte (base) and Justin Evans (lead guitar) held them in good stead and a magical evening of music, humour and friendly competition ensued. In fact, the headliners joked that opening act and lead guitarist for the evening, Evans, almost stole the show. His easy repore, self -deprecating humor and obvious musical talent endeared him to the audience many of whom hopefully purchased the $5 EP he was pedaling. Evans sang his own compositions including, "When Your Heart is Broken", explaining prior to performing that he had never actually had a broken heart, thankfully, but wrote this song by observing the experiences of others. Hadfield, the winner of Britain's Got Talent 2014 (with the group Collabro), and Malcolm, Bayfield's adopted son and Canada's first Idol (2003), shared the stage taking turns performing and occasionally backing each other up vocally. At the heart of Hadfield's performance is a strong love for Jazz. His musical theatre background shone through in numbers like "The Phantom of the Opera" paired with the "Pink Panther Theme" as well as such crooner ballads as "The Way You Look Tonight". In contrast, Malcolm performed selections from The Tragically Hip and The Lumineers catalogues as well as the song that kept him at number one on the Canadian charts in 2003 for 13 weeks, "Something More". Naturally competitive the pair enjoyed squaring off to close out the show taking "Feeling Good" to a level that might have even made Simon Cowell cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/lssue26Week468/tabid/889/Default.aspx 12/17 6/11/2019 Issue 26 Week 468 Ryan Malcolm and Richard Hadfield smile... it certainly brought the town hall crowd to their feet! Malcolm himself concluded that, "It was probably one of the most memorable and fun nights of my career and I want to thank everyone for coming out and supporting local music!" This event was brought to the village by LP Productions as part of the Bayfield Concert Series. Barney Bentall is their next performer coming to town on Aug. 16 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available now at www.ticketscene.ca.

Q0.�-d4 SUBMISSIONS D ma Aijbr Attics f Spray Foam I was sitting in the second row from the stage in the town hall on Thursday night listening to some tremendous music when my inner voice interrupted. "Do you know how lucky you are?" it queried. "How many rural villages of 1,000 residents can draw such talented people to share their musical gifts with the community?" We are indeed fortunate. This week a little tip of the hat to those determined few that about 30 years ago decided that the Bayfield Town Hall should be spared from the wrecking ball. Thanks to those people who had a vision that the space could become a special venue to host such intimate events like music concerts whether they be a big band or simply singers with cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/lssue26Week468/tabid/889/Default.aspx 16/17 6/11/2019 Issue 26 Week 468 their acoustic guitars. Many of those visionaries are no longer with us but luckily there have been others that have taken the torch and continue their legacy of making the hall a terrific place to spend a Thursday night! And guess where I and my inner voice will be tomorrow night? Yep, humming along with "The Dreamboats" as the quartet returns to the town hall stage for a second sold -out year! — Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
