Thirty-five community groups said no to single use plastic water bottles at their meetings and events. They also acknowledged that water was a human right and all peoples of the world should have access to publicly supplied water for drinking and sanitation. Blue Bayfield arranged for the installation of five water refill stations. Over a two-year period, 25,000 refills have been recorded at these sites. They also made 2,500 refillable bottles available to the community. Studies have estimated the oceans contain 220,000 pieces of plastic per square kilometre. Alarming as that may be, when people stand on the banks of Pioneer Park admiring the "pristine waters", they are looking at a body of water estimated to have up to twice that at 440,000 pieces of plastic per square kilometre. 80 million pieces of plastic enter our waters every day, the majority single use products like bottles, bags, straws, cups and lids just to name the obvious. The first piece of plastic ever made still exists. Blue Bayfield is responding and asking for your support. While we can't solve the world's plastic problem, we can become a model for local communities. We are not acting alone. On the Cornwall coast in England, people will find the best surfing on the Atlantic coastline. The community of St Agnes is in the heart of this surfing region. Unfortunately this surfers paradise, knows all too well about plastic pollution of their waters and beaches. In 1990, surfers became alarmed at the waste from water treatment plants and improperly treated agricultural waste. They formed and organization Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) to raise awareness of the problem. While improved but not fully resolved, this problem has taken a back seat to a new phenomenon: plastic pollution. Beaches and the waters along the coastline have become awash with plastics. SAS raised the alarm and engaged in a program called Plastic Free Coastline Communities. They asked communities in the UK to engage in community coastline cleanups, seek municipal support for the elimination of single use plastics, commit to ending the use of plastics in eateries and other businesses and to encourage others to become involved in reducing plastics. Today, over 150 UK communities have committed to this program along with coastal towns in France, Portugal and Spain. In North America there is one community that met the standards for becoming a PFCC — and that was Bayfield, Ontario, Canada. Why? 1) Bluewater Council passed a resolution The Council of the Municipality of Bluewater in the Province of Ontario, Canada supports Blue Bayfield's efforts to protect the Huron BLUEWATER BLOOMS Bluewater Blooms is hosting a garden contest to celebrate the hard work of our green -thumbed neighbors! Send us a photo of a garden anywhere in Bluewater and describe briefly how it impresses you. Does a garden incorporate best environmental practices such as composting, or compliment the historical attributes of a century home, or is it a whimsical home to tiny fairies? There are no categories. It's just a celebration of colorful gardens! The contest closes July 8. What Can the Best Neighborhood Gardens Win? Six beautiful gardens will win our Neighborhood Award sign posted at the garden and a Miracle -Gro gift donated by Scotts Canada (one jug of Shake 'N Feed All Purpose and one package of Nature's Care Vegetable, Fruit and Flower Food). To enter email nevans@municipalityofbluewater.ca or comment or upload to Facebook (tag: bluewaterbloomscontest) There is a bit of fine print though. We will want to photograph the winners' garden and obtain their signature on a permission form that allows the National Communities in Bloom (CIB) organization and Scotts Miracle -Gro to use the photograph on their respective websites as well as CIB social media, magazine and awards ceremony. This contest is being held by the Municipality of Bluewater Communities in Bloom Committee (Bluewater Blooms).

Similar resolutions were passed by the Ratepayers Association, the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce and the Bayfield Town Hall. 2) Even at this early stage, 80 per cent of the eateries have agreed to discontinue the use of plastics and polystyrene. 3) Blue Bayfield, Love Your Greats, The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association and the Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation will continue to hold their biannual cleanup of litter created by humans on all Bayfield beaches. Will all single use plastics be eliminated from the village? It is up to you: access the single use products in your home. Blue Bayfield will be providing eateries with water bottles for their tables. While international and national chains have not committed Blue Bayfield is roud of these local Plastic Free Champions and encourage people to support them. It is the hope of Blue Bayfield that in time all eateries will be on this list. The current Plastic Free Champions are: The Black Dog Pub and Bistro, Renegades Diner, Shop Bike Coffee Roasters, The Yellow Perch, Bayfield Public House, Drift Restaurant, The Ashwood, The Little Inn, Bayfield Lions' Club and The Lake House Bistro. In addition the Bayfield Town Hall, Bayfield Lions' Club and St. Andrew's United Church are also Plastic Free Champions. Blue Bayfield invites everyone to save Saturday, Oct. 27 as the date to celebrate the village being plastic free! LINFIELD WILDLIFE AREA EXPLORED ON RECENT HIKE Kate Monk, Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) Land Management supervisor was the guest for the hike because of her experience with the property since it was donated almost 10 years ago by the Linfield family. (Submitted photo) On Sunday, June 24 the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) hosted a "Land Management Experience" at the Linfield Wildlife Area. This event was co -hosted by the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation. A group of hikers met at the parking area as the rain stopped for the day. Kate Monk, Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) Land Management supervisor was the guest for the hike because of her experience with the property since it was donated almost 10 years ago by the Linfield family. Monk gave an outline of how water and soil resources and wildlife habitat have been developed and preserved. The fifth summer student to be employed by the Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health (GCERH) are being introduced to the community this week. Sam Murray is currently completing his Bachelor of Science in Honours Biology through Trent University under the Special Admissions Scholarship. During his time at Trent, Murray has excelled in his studies, receiving the Biology Department Book Prize for outstanding academic achievement. Going forward Murray plans to specialize in the field of biochemistry and later pursue a career in teaching. While at Gateway, Murray will be assisting Doctor Tiffaney Kittmer with her research project on post- operative opiate stewardship. He will also be helping with community events such as the Hometown Heroes hockey game. As a resident of Huron East, Sam is well -versed in and passionate about rural life. He has always been interested in health sciences and is excited to be joining an organization which focuses directly on improving the quality of life in rural Ontario. He hopes that his time at Gateway will provide him with new insights into the research field and have a positive impact on the surrounding rural communities.

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 water resources of the property are interesting as they flow to Lake Huron. Some marginal land sloping areas were reforested to help protect the watercourse. The group walked through the cedar plantation that was planted some nine years ago and is now over 2 Ms tall. There are a number of small streams through the property, and a beaver was observed in the pond. The trail is approximately 2 KMs on a primitive, natural surface, through mature woodlot and wind breaks. There are some nice vistas across the farm fields to the lake. Anyone who missed the hike and would still like to visit the area should be aware that the trail can be quite wet, depending on weather conditions and there may possibly be some poison Ivy. It is a Level 2 in difficulty with uneven trail. The trail is used all year for walking, bird watching and snow shoeing. Pets are requested to be kept on leash. Hikers should wear sturdy walking or hiking shoes, long pants and insect repellent is recommended. BiAYFtELD BRE€ZE ire L)t1"I1.I 11Y 411`{"t'1 IrTe sqVIen optometric, Flu e REMEMBER ME?

JUST ONE MORE SONG! PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Just one more song! Just one more song! It was getting close to 10:30 p.m. and after nearly three hours the sold -out crowd that packed the Bayfield Town Hall didn't want The Dreamboats to stop playing. Could they possibly no one more song? That was the underlying question. After playing two 45 - minute sets filled with music from the 50s and 60s covering all the greats from Chuck Berry to the Beatles and mingling in several of their own compositions written in the early Rock N' Roll style — they actually did have one last song left in their repertoire. The Dreamboats made their "sophomore" appearance at the town hall on Thursday, June 28 and they brought back with them their fab harmonies, skilled musicianship, humor and smooth moves — and yes, things got a little sweaty again. Although the hall didn't reach the fevered temperature it did the year previous as the AC kept up with the outdoor heat, there was still a need for the loan of a town hall t -towel or two to keep the band comfortable. These four young talents, whose ages averages out to be about 29, comprise The Dreamboats from Mississauga, ON. In keeping with the era in which they have musically immersed themselves the majority go by stage names: Sir Ritchie Hummins, lead vocals, guitar; Riggers B. Lewis, lead vocals, bass guitar; Matt Best, lead guitar, vocals; and Johnny G. Wiz, drums and vocals. During the two very short intermissions the band members visited with the crowd peddling t -shirts, vinyl and CDs. Returning concert -goers remarked that Best was a lot more animated on stage then he had been the previous year. At the start of the second set the drummer reminded the audience that Best had been in a walking cast the year before! The concert felt like something of a homecoming as the boys shared several of the adventures they had been up to in the past 11 months including finding several unique areas to record their material — including Elvis' summer house in Palm Springs, CA and Ronnie Hawkins' barn up near Peterborough, ON. The Dreamboats, who formed in 2009 had previously noted that they developed a love for the music from watching movies like "Back to the Future" that featured songs from this time. And the audience was definitely glad that they did! As the folks spilled out of the town hall into the warm cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/Bayfield Breeze/week27issue469/tabid/890/Default.aspx 11/18 6/11/2019 week 27 Issue 469 summer's night their voices echoed on the air. "if they come back again — we'll be back too!" So hopefully Bayfield can look forward to a "junior" performance by The Dreamboats in 2019. Hint!

When we finally moved to Bayfield 10 plus years ago as permanent residents we remember strolling down Main St. one beautiful summer evening around dusk to Pioneer Park to see one of the famous sunsets. As we approached the park we noticed a crowd of people setting up their lawn chairs to watch a movie in front of an outdoor screen. As we stood quietly in the back a friendly lady approached and asked if we would like chairs. She then went across the street to her cottage and returned with two folding lawn chairs for us. We remember thinking what a wonderful, kind and considerate person. Later she returned with two bags of homemade popcorn for us to enjoy as we watched the movie under the stars. That simple act of kindness and consideration has remained with us all these years. We've always thought it is our job to pay that gesture forward. Melody Falconer -Pounder We came to find out later that that kind and considerate lady is Catherine Tillmann, the artist who painted that amazing painting of the steps in Pioneer Park.
