YEARS AND YEARS OF HISTORY EXPLORED BEYOND THE SHORE Five new tours of Bluewater's three villages and two townships are now available for free download at www. explore beyondtheshore.ca. Thanks to a grant from the Huron Heritage Fund and under the auspices of the Bluewater Heritage Advisory Committee, both residents and visitors can enjoy approximately one-hour walking tours of Bayfield, Hensall and Zurich, while driving tours cover Hay and Stanley Townships. The tours display the presence of almost 200 years of settlement but the stories reveal the drama - the fires, the faith, the rebuilding, the ghost towns, the murders and the resilience of the people and places. Many clues about the area's past are scattered throughout Bluewater's villages and countryside. The familiar brick Ontario Gothic farmhouses are more decorative, revealing the presence of highly skilled bricklayers whose unsigned work beautifies buildings large and small. The intricate work of blacksmiths shows up in the cemeteries. The imagination and invention of craftsmen can be seen when looking up at church towers. The tours reveal a past and present unexpected and rich to those who venture along their route - by foot, bicycle, car, motorcycle or from the comfort of their home. Tours are easily downloaded onto your Smart Phone or Tablet or printed and brought along for those who prefer to do so. It's all waiting to be discovered at www.explorebeyondtheshore.ca. The Heritage Tours project was supported through staffing from a Job Creation Partnership project through the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development. This Employment Ontario project is funded in part by the Government of Canada.

HEALTHUNH N As the Huron County Health Unit (HCHU) continues its regular mosquito trapping, it reminds residents to protect themselves against mosquito bites. Diseases such as West Nile virus can spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. The HCHU traps mosquitoes weekly and has them identified and tested. "While we don't have any positive pools so far, in 2017 two samples tested positive for West Nile virus," said Public Health Inspector Keshia Hackett. "The easiest way to prevent infection is to prevent mosquito bites, especially during dawn and dusk when many mosquito species are most active." Here are some simple precautions to help protect yourself from bites: • Wear light-coloured, long-sleeved shirts, long pants and closed -toe shoes • Use an insect repellant that has been approved by Health Canada. Always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions • Check the screens in doors and windows to ensure there are no tears or holes • Disturb or eliminate any mosquito breeding grounds on your property. Dump any standing water in places such bird baths, buckets, old tires, pet water dishes and gutters. For most people, the risk of getting infected with West Nile virus is low. However, people can be at greater risk of serious health effects if they are over the age of 50, have a chronic disease such as cancer or diabetes, or have weakened immune systems. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/Bayfield Breeze/Week28issue470/tabid/891 /Default.aspx 6/22 6/11/2019 Week 28 Issue 470 There isn't much better than soaking up some rays with fellow Vette enthusiasts on a perfect summer's day. A Vette from the 1970s receives some TLC from its owner - this activity also proved interesting to show visitors. The sunny skies and reasonable temperatures brought a number of spectators out to Clan Gregor Square on Saturday for Vette Fest. Most people infected with West Nile Virus experience no symptoms or have flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, stiff neck, weak muscles, mild rash, or swollen glands. In more rare and severe cases, symptoms may include severe headache, stiff neck, high fever, difficulty swallowing, vomiting, loss of consciousness, loss of coordination, nausea and muscle weakness and paralysis.

Seriously though, teachers and staff on behalf of my friends, thank you. You never gave up on us even when the road got a little bumpy and we needed someone to guide us along the way. We also had a few good laughs together, so thank you we can't express our gratitude enough. We all had something we were good at; something we will be remembered by.

LEVEL 1 LOW WATER ADVISORY ISSUED FOR BAYFIELD WATERSHED Dry weather and very low streamflow has prompted the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) Water Response Team (WRT) to issue a Level 1 Low Water Advisory for the Bayfield River watershed. As reported at automated rain gauge locations, the Bayfield River watershed received about 50 per cent of the normal precipitation totals for the months of May and June combined, according to ABCA staff. Streamflow in the Bayfield River watershed has fallen well below the springtime Low Water Level 1 indicator threshold, which is 100 per cent of the August flows. August is when staff members typically see streamflow at its lowest. Actual June streamflow values for the Bayfield River were at 69 per cent of the Low Water indicator. As we move into July, real- time streamflow is indicative of Level 3 low water conditions. Rainfall totals across the remainder of the ABCA watershed have been below normal over the past two months as well. However, a band of heavy rain passing through the central and southern parts of the ABCA watershed, from June 22-24, brought some reprieve to declining streamflow in the Ausable River. The Water Response Team relies on both precipitation and streamflow indicators to support any decision to move into a Low Water Advisory. Indicators include one-month streamflow and one-month or three-month precipitation. The prolonged period of below -normal precipitation could have a long-lasting impact on streamflow and water availability this summer, according to Davin Heinbuck, Water Resources coordinator at ABCA. "In some areas, water availability in streams is vitally important to sustaining crops through very dry periods," he said. "The focus should be on sustaining water availability through responsible management and conservation of the water resource. If a dry weather pattern continues, a recovery of the already stressed watershed will become more difficult as we move through the summer." Water Response Team Chair Doug Cook said everyone has a role to play in water conservation. He encourages all water users to look for ways they can conserve water and prevent further reduction in water levels and availability through the summer. "For areas that are in a Level 1 Low Water Advisory condition, we are encouraging water users to voluntarily reduce their water use by 10 per cent," he said. For ideas on ways you can reduce water use, please visit the water quantity and water conservation page at abca.ca at this link. "Movies remain one of the last places that the tobacco industry can advertise to youth," said Jacqueline Uprichard, public health promoter with the Huron County Health Unit (HCHU). "Our efforts aim to get tobacco imagery out of youth -rated movies." At the event, HCHU staff and students will be addressing the issue of smoking in movies rated for children and the effects that these movies may have. The rain date for the smoke-free movie night is July 27 at the Courthouse Square Park. This event is hosted by the Goderich Business Improvement Area in partnership with the HCHU and the municipality of Goderich. i 01 me 11011i The popular Behind the Bars evening tours at the Huron Historic Gaol are returning again this summer with new characters to meet!

A Level 1 Low Water Advisory includes a request for a 10 per cent voluntary reduction in water use. A Level 2 Low Water Advisory includes a call for an additional 10 per cent (total of 20 per cent) voluntary reduction in water use. A Level 3 Low Water Advisory may involve mandatory water use restrictions. The Water Response Team was formed in 2001 in response to the low water and drought conditions that year and the team has been active ever since. The WRT includes representatives of major water users (such as aggregate industries; agriculture and vegetable growers; and golf and recreation) and includes local municipal representatives and staff of provincial ministries (such as Natural Resources and Forestry; Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs; and Environment, Conservation and Parks). ABCA staff will continue to monitor rainfall and streamflow data and keep the public informed of any changes in watershed conditions. Visit www.ontario.ca/lowwater for further resources on the Ontario low water response program or the website at abca.ca for the dynamic low-water advisory tool which alerts people to low- water advisories in effect in the watershed.

(Submitted photo) The Hometown Heroes, "Raise a Little Health" Charity Hockey Game is proud to have the opportunity to support deserving causes. This year, one of these causes is the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital (AMGH) Clinical Laboratory. One of the services offered at the AMGH Clinical Laboratory is Transfusion Medicine. When ordered by a Practitioner, a technician takes a patient's blood sample to determine their Blood Type, performs a Screen for antibodies to donor blood, and matches donor blood (from community volunteers through Canadian Blood Services) if requested. AMGH has acquired a semi -automated analyzer called the BioRad Saxo, which aids the Technologist in performing these tests. The Saxo is interfaced with the Hospital Information system to ensure reliable data transfer, as well as an internal camera to accurately read the results of the testing. This new, innovative technology will assist the Laboratory staff in A delegation from Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health in Goderich attended the Annual General Meeting of the South Bruce Grey Health Centre (SBGHC) at the Durham Hospital/Clinic complex on the beautiful summer evening of July 4. At the meeting, Gateway President Jay McFarlan and Paul Rosebush, CEO of the SBGC, signed a renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Cooperation. The shared vision of both organizations is to explore and promote health research in rural settings, engaging academic leaders from Ontario universities and local health care providers. Four years ago, the two groups signed the first ever MOU between a community based rural health research organization and a rural based hospital. Both McFarlan and Rosebush talked about the opportunities such an agreement presents to rural communities and how the first four years of cooperation had been very productive and enlightening. Most health research in Canada is based in and funded from teaching hospitals in urban settings. This renewed partnership affords a continuing opportunity to explore the issues in rural Canada that affect rural residents' health and healthcare.

(Photo by Jack Pal) gardens were featured on the Bayfield Garden Tour for the Huron Residential Hospice (HRH). A perfect summer's day was the backdrop for viewing and savoring these carefully designed showpieces. The tour raised $2,770 for the Bayfield Children's Room at HRH. The owners who so graciously opened their garden gates were: Jen Smith and Laurie Hazzard, Leigh and Jerry Selk, Paula and Ray Letheren, Susan and Jim Beatty, Carol and Bob Morley, and Nancy and Frank Moore. All worked tirelessly since spring finally arrived to ensure their gardens were in top notch form for viewing. Organizers thank them for sharing their creations and talents as many of them also displayed their own works of art and that of other local artists. Further enhancing the gardens, were the sweet sounds of local musicians: The Bayfield Ukulele Society, the trio, "And Then There Were Three" and members of The Huron Harp School. An added attraction, was the Friends of the Bayfield Public Library Reading Garden. Here the Bayfield Artists Guild displayed numerous art works, adding beauty to the quiet space and the front lawn. The Rain Gardens at Pioneer Park were another bonus feature and an excellent means of educating the public on the prevention of water pollution. Any time during the tour, one was welcome to stop at St. Andrew's United Church for refreshments donated by Renegades Diner, Bayfield Berry Farm, Bayfield Foodland and Tim Hortons of Clinton/Seaforth. The Bayfield Hospice Committee wishes to thank those who supported the Garden Tour and the many volunteers who made it possible.

FIRE CALL INTERRUPTS ANNUAL FIREMEN'S BREAIFAST John and I drove down to Bayfield on Saturday morning expecting to take a cheque presentation photo, cover the Firemen's Breakfast, partake in the eggs and bacon, cover the Vette Fest and then maybe swing by Clinton for their town yard sale, checking out the new inventory at Elliot's and dropping in for a coffee with a friend before heading to Goderich to pick up a couple things then returning home to put a first coat of paint on our soon to be new kitchen. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezeNVeek281ssue470/tabid/891/Default.aspx 19/22 6/11/2019 Week 28 Issue 470 Well, Saturday had other plans for us and many others too... Just after taking the cheque presentation photo, and while mingling outside the firehall with attendees, the village fire alarm sounded. Folks just looked around at each other, their expressions begged the question, "Is that for real?" For some unfortunate souls at Paul Bunyan Lake Front Resort it was very real as they experienced a trailer fire after an incident in their kitchen. All those people waiting in line for breakfast learned that it was indeed a real fire call when the firefighters, who just a few minutes earlier were flipping eggs and serving up bacon, came running across the lawn in full fire gear, jumped into the trucks and mere seconds later pulled away. John and I looked at each other and I said, "So with our 117M1Jgl7 J" 1— f ..1 f 1 r A T } r restaurant experience we should probably go see if they need a hand." He nodded agreement and through the crowd we went. We were both able to find jobs rather quickly – John at a deep fryer station preparing sausages for the multitudes and I discovered a young lady of about 10 years up to her eyeballs in dirty serving trays. I asked her if she needed help and the response was a resounding, "Yes!" For the next little while I dried and she washed and then she dried and I washed and we took turns taking trays to the front so that the long lines of people had something to put their plates and cups on. Others dropped by to help us out too in between their being whisked away to other tasks. Joan Cluff, and her granddaughter, Siobhan Kleuskens, arrived and asked me how they could help as they had heard the alarm sound. Soon they were working the juice and coffee station. Brian Coombs showed up with two of his student volunteers from the Vette Fest and these two young women went to work clearing tables and bringing us empty trays for cleaning. Existing volunteers shuffled positions and fire fighter spouses showed up to help out too. A firefighter from Seaforth that had been enjoying the breakfast joined John on fry duty. Essentially with little interruption, thanks to those extra hands, and I'm sure am missing some and for that I humbly apologize, the people were fed! Just before 11 a.m. the final truck returned from the call so the brigade was once again intact for clean-up. John and I sat down to enjoy a really great breakfast our appetites enhanced by the knowledge that once again Bayfield residents had demonstrated just how great this community is. And now a word from Jack Bender, Bayfield District Fire Chief, "On behalf of the Bayfield Fire Fighters and myself, we would like to thank all of the members of our community that stepped up and assisted with our breakfast when the Department was summoned to a fire call on Saturday, July 7th. It is actions like these in a situation such as this, that makes us proud to be members of this community. We at the Bayfield Fire Department, are very proud to serve such a community and hope that you know just how much your assistance was appreciated!" Many people asked if this event had ever been interrupted by a fire call before and I asked others at the Breakfast this question. Volunteers that had helped for the last 25 years couldn't remember it ever happening before and I'm pretty sure they would have remembered if it had. Let's hope it never happens again. We also send our thoughts to those who sounded the alarm on Saturday and hope I , .

Those standing in line for breakfast wondered if it was a test until the firefighters that only moments before were cooking and serving up their annual breakfast came running out of the hall in full gear and headed for the trucks. Preparing to depart and visible in this truck were Don Knox and Dave Andrew. All ages were curious to watch the Bayfield Firefighters spring into action in the middle of their annual breakfast - some found the fire alarm rather loud but most were odd at the speed in which they departed.
