The presentation was made in front of more than 50 people at a reception held in the Trinity Anglican Church Parish Hall. The Royal Red Cross medal was presented to Maud at Buckingham Palace by King George V and Queen Alexandra on Jan. 30, 1918 in recognition of her conspicuous acts of bravery as a Nursing Sister at a hospital camp near the killing fields of Salonika in Greece. Maud was singled out an extraordinary three times in Dispatches. Maud's inspirational life story began on a farm near Bayfield where she was one of 15 children born to pioneers, William Stirling and Rebecca Colwell Stirling. Her abilities were recognized at a young age and she was sent to stay with relatives in Goderich while she attended Model School. She first chose to become a teacher but after teaching for a few years, Maud decided that she would like to further her education and entered the Nurses' Training course at Toronto General Hospital.

Maud was singled out an extraordinary three times in Dispatches. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) In September 1914, when war was declared, Maud was amongst the first group of nurses from all over Canada who answered the call. She joined No. 4 University of Toronto Base Hospital which was sent to Greece, near the town of Salonika, in response to the slaughter of the Australian and Kiwi troops in nearby Gallipoli, where they established a tent hospital near the front lines. In an era when women were still not allowed to vote in Canada, there was a great deal of controversy about whether women had the strength and stamina to endure the hardships of nursing near battlegrounds.

She joined No. 4 University of Toronto Base Hospital which was sent to Greece. Week 45 Issue 487 Maud is considered to be Canada's first Massage Therapist. (Black and white photos courtesy the Stirling family.) The Nursing Sisters in the Canadian Army Nursing Corp had to contend with exhaustion in chaotic, unsanitary situations while dealing with mortally wounded young men and a lack of medications. They had to deal with the rigors of caring for ill and wounded patients in appalling conditions often while they were sick themselves. They were frequently bombarded in air raids. These raids often destroyed parts of the hospital and killed dozens of patients, but the Canadian Nursing Sisters and the entire medical team would have to dive under beds or find whatever shelter they could because they could not and would not abandon their patients. It was for her actions during these bombardments that Maud's outstanding courage was recognized in the military dispatches. Finally, in 1917, the staff of No. 4 General Hospital were so depleted by illness that they were ordered to withdraw back to England. DUNE GRASS PROTECTION SURVEY The Great Lakes dune systems are of national significance. Beach -dune shorelines are the most diverse ecosystem in the Great Lakes Basin. They are also the most vulnerable to human pressures. This is primarily due to the large amount of development and recreational activities that have occurred along the shoreline that are eroding, damaging and destroying these dunes and their important vegetative cover. Since the dunes are built and supported by plants, particularly beach grass, the resilience of the dunes depends highly on the presence of this grass. If the grass is lost or removed, then the shoreline can become unstable, and this affects the people, other ecosystems and infrastructures. In order to protect these grasses, we, at the University of Waterloo need help from people like you. We are conducting research to better understand the human -environment interactions between people and the Lake Huron shoreline by examining the benefits people receive from beach grass, how they perceive and interact with it and gaining insights on how to better manage beach grass along the Lake Huron shoreline for the better of the people and the environment. To do this, we are conducting a 10 -minute online or phone survey with local property owners and beach visitors to understand their perspectives on these benefits. The survey aims to understand how you interact with beach grass along the shoreline and the benefits you receive from its presence. Maud's maturity and skills were recognized and in January 1918, she was sent on a special course at Buxton, England, to learn about message therapy for wounded soldiers. After Nearly all communities of the Great Lakes Basin are completing the training, she was given responsibility for the Massage Department of the already experiencing local impacts of global climate hospital which would eventually treat over 3,300 patients a month. Maud is considered to be change and are expected to need to adapt to future Canada's first Massage Therapist. climatic changes. After the war, in civilian life, she had a successful career as the Matron at several hospitals in Ontario When she retired, Maud returned to Bayfield, where she became a beloved member of the community. Because of these impacts, the protection and maintenance of sand dunes fundamentally affects the quality of the beaches along the shoreline and the people who live here. The capacity of beach -dune ecosystems to respond favorably to climate change conditions will depend on the establishment of beach grass populations. With a better understanding of these benefits, how they are changing and how this is impacting the social well-being of the property owners and beach visitors of the southeastern shoreline of Lake Huron (Sarnia to Tobermory), the dependence of human well-being on ecosystem health can be better captured. It would demonstrate how potential decisions can affect human well-being by altering or restoring ecosystems and how much these changes matter. This would finally, allow for the emergence of more effective protection and conservation methods for the beach -dune ecosystems of Lake Huron. If you are interested in participating or would like to receive more information on this research, please cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek451ssue487/tabid/908/Default.aspx 3/15 6/11/2019 Week 45 Issue 487 After the war, in civilian life, she had a successful career as the Matron at several hospitals in Ontario. When she retired, Maud returned to Bayfield, where she became a beloved member of the community. Maud Stirling died in Bayfield, July 1964 at the age of 87. Most residents in Bayfield knew that she had been a Nursing Sister during World War I and that she had played an important role in the local 'Patriotic Society' during World War II but they couldn't have imagined the horrors that she had experienced on the front lines of World War I or the magnitude of her heroism. Stirling family members have entrusted this most prestigious medal to the historical society in hopes that Maud's story, along with the memories of all of the other courageous villagers who have served Canada so valiantly, will never be forgotten. integrity .'..- Everything!

A CLOSER LOOK AT BAYFIELD'S WATER QUALITY MONITORING The Huron County Health Unit runs a Beach Water Sampling Program. Pier Beach and Bayfield South Beach are just two of 14 beaches along Huron County's shoreline that are sampled. (Photos courtesy the Huron County Health Unit Beach Sampling Program) Bayfield is fortunate in that there are, and have been, several water quality monitoring programs that have taken place within the village, along the lakeshore, and upstream along the Bayfield River. The purpose of the following article is to provide a brief summary of the programs that currently exist: Huron County Health Unit Beach Water Sampling Program, Blue Flag, Bayfield Beach Storm Water Monitoring Program, and the Provincial Water Quality and Enhanced Monitoring program. It is important to note that water quality issues are complex, and that there may not be one simple solution. What we do know, is that everyone, whether one lives in Bayfield or upstream of Bayfield, plays a role in the solution. Furthermore, just as it took time for water quality to degrade, it will take time to see improvements. These improvements will require broad -scale actions, a couple of examples being numerous rain gardens and more vegetative cover on fields. To make these improvements happen people must continue to work together, to monitor, and to implement positive actions. The Huron County Health Unit (HCHU) runs a Beach Water Sampling Program. The HCHU is required to regularly sample water quality at public beaches during the summer. Pier Beach (formerly known as Bayfield Main Beach) and Bayfield South Beach are just two of 14 beaches along Huron County's shoreline that are sampled. Lake samples are analyzed for concentrations of E. coli, which is a type of bacteria, twice weekly in June, July and August. E. coli in water indicate the potential presence of disease -causing organisms. Results are posted online at huronhealthunit.ca/health-topics/beach-water-quality, and each public beach has a sign providing the HCHU's Infoline and a Quick Response (QR) code for use on a smart phone or device. 396-3007. "There's no better way to kick of the new year than recognizing remarkable people who are making a difference in our communities," Thompson said. MUSEUM TAKEOVER On Nov. 17, the students from the Avon Maitland District School Board's S.O.A.R. program will use their new knowledge to take over management of the Huron County Museum with the exhibit they have created called "Dinner Back Then". (Submitted photo) "Hi my name is Pierce and I am from the Seaforth S.O.A.R program. On Nov. 17, we are taking over the Huron County Museum. We are taking over the Huron County Museum to learn about museums and what better way is there than taking over all the jobs at the Huron County Museum!" The Huron County Museum's staff have been working with students from the Avon Maitland District School Board's S.O.A.R. program since September of this year. Museum staff have been teaching the students about all aspects of Museum operations including curatorial work, artifact care, exhibit creation and design, archives procedures, marketing, guest services and more. On Nov. 17, the students will use their new knowledge to take over management of the Huron County Museum. Stop in anytime between 1-4 p.m. to meet the kids and see the exhibit they have created called "Dinner Back Then". At the request of the students, admission to Takeover Day will be by cash donation to the Huron County Food Bank. The student exhibit, Dinner Back Then will be on display at the Museum until Dec. 1.

Lake samples are analyzed for Week 45 Issue 487 Based on the number of E. coli colonies in the water, and on an assessment of environmental factors, the HCHU may post no -swim advisories at any of the beaches monitored. Note that it takes about 24 hours to receive the previous day's water testing results. By this time, the water quality may have changed to either safe or unsafe for swimming. For this reason, the HCHU suggests people ask themselves these questions when deciding if it's safe to swim: • Is the water turbid? This means that people cannot see their feet when standing waist deep in water. • Has there been heavy rainfall in the area in the last 24-48 hours? If the answer is yes, E. coli levels are probably high and it may be unsafe to swim. The Blue Flag is an internationally -recognized designation for beaches that meet certain environmental criteria, with one being water quality. The local Blue Flag program was concentrations of E. coli, which is a type of bacteria, initiated by the Bayfield Ratepayers' Association twice weekly in June, July and August. (BRA) who worked with the Municipality of Bluewater to attain Blue Flag status for the Pier Beach. Each year, Bluewater applies for this designation and ensures all criteria are met, which include organizing education and outreach programs. The data collected through the HCHU's Beach Water Sampling Program are also used for the water quality monitoring component of the Blue Flag Program. Along the beach in Bayfield are several storm water outlets. These outlets carry storm water from the village out to Lake Huron. This monitoring program was initiated in 2014 to evaluate whether the storm water from the village might be impacting the beach and near shore water quality. Local volunteers have spent the last five summers collecting the water samples as citizen scientists in consultation with the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). Storm water samples are analyzed for concentrations of E. coli, total phosphorus and orthophosphate bi-weekly in June, July and August and after rain events at Pier Beach Phosphorus levels are checked as these can contribute to algal growth. For further information and previous reports, please visit www. huron health u nit.ca The Provincial Water Quality and Enhanced Monitoring program, which is supported by the Province of Ontario and ABCA, provides a broad look at water quality across the watershed. The data collected through this program form the Watershed Report Card, which is produced every five years. River samples are analyzed for a variety of indicators including, E. coli and total phosphorus monthly from March to November. Sixteen sites are sampled within the Ausable Bayfield watersheds, sites along the Bayfield River include, Varna, Bannockburn and Seaforth.

NEW INITIAL l V E GRANTS Is your organization aware of local issues that need to be addressed? Are you considering how to best deliver services to the community? United Way Perth -Huron (UWPH) is looking to answer these types of questions through their New Initiative Grants (NIG). "The New Initiative Grant process is a great opportunity for the community," said UWPH Executive Director Ryan Erb. "It's a way to respond to emerging needs, test service models, support smaller projects and help pilot new ones." NICs provide up to $20,000 for one year for projects developed by registered Canadian charities or not - for -profits who are planning to, or already deliver, social and community services in Perth and/or Huron County. Expressions of interest can be submitted to UWPH until Friday, Nov. 23 at 5 p.m. Submissions will then be reviewed based on eligibility requirements and organizations will be notified whether or not their initiative has been approved to move on to the full application stage. Full applications are then submitted by Sunday, Dec. 9 at midnight.

The piece that was commissioned is titled, "To Cross the Sleeping Green" and is partially inspired by the poem, "Break of Day in the Trenches" by Isaac Rosenberg as well as the art of Dianne Bos. Through learning about this piece, the students in our concert bands are actively engaging in history and remembrance. The days of WWI veterans attending local Remembrance Day assemblies have passed, but this piece offers an opportunity for youth from eight schools to engage and take ownership in their remembrance and share this piece in their communities. Alfred Publishing has decided to make this piece available to schools to order internationally in the Spring of 2019. With so much music coming out of the United States for school level Concert Bands, it is refreshing to have a Canadian piece, composed specifically for the high school level and commemorating the end of WWI. It is the hope of all involved in the project, including Gassi, that this piece will become part of the standard repertoire that is performed by Concert Bands in Canada during their ceremonies. Earlier this fall, 40 members of the St. Anne's Concert Band traveled to Orillia to be a part of the piece along with four of the participating schools. The St. Anne's Concert Band is indebted to the Seaforth Legion members as they partially sponsored the cost of the bus for the students to travel to Orillia. At that time, St. Anne's, St. Michael, Orillia Secondary and Chippewa Secondary performed the piece together.

BAYFtELLD BRL€ZE k SUBMISSIONS A note from village resident Sondra Buchner was submitted this week on behalf of herself, Truus Dragland and Lucia Schatteleyn. It is the kind of news story that is the foundation for the Bayfield Breeze as it tells of people coming together to help others in both good times and in bad and I am happy to share it with our readership. — Melody "On Oct. 22, we experienced a wild wind storm during which our friend Lucia's car was totally destroyed by a limb falling off our old maple. Gratefully our friend was safely in our house. What a shock "Our first action was to call The Bayfield Tree Service. Although it was after hours John Vanderhaar's first response was, "I will be right there!" Collectively he and his father, Doug, removed the huge limb and secured the car until appraisers arrived. HAY MII' U"'L IIIH II 519-236-4381 "It is indeed remarkable to live in a village where immediate assistance is offered no questions asked. What a community! Thanks to John and Doug Vanderhaar."
