Since closing her Main Street store, JMR Collections, in Bayfield, Judy Roth has been doodling crazy, but all for a good reason. A very sad reason but one she hopes is making a small difference. Roth became fast friends with a woman named, Brenda, and her daughter, Carrissa, after meeting them this summer. Roth explained that they were both a huge support to her when after 10 years she decided it was time to close her store. "In July and August, they volunteered almost every weekend as the closing was near. Brenda dropped in almost every day to work in the store or to check and see if anything was needed. She brought vegetables from her garden to give away. She'd also bring her dogs with her (the oldest dog passed in June) including, her rescue dog, Poppie and her new puppy, Daisy!" said Roth. Roth added that sadly in October, Brenda was diagnosed with liver and bone cancer and is now no longer able to take care of Daisy.

Members of the Bayfield Optimist Club have learned that this may indeed be possible in the Spring of 2019. They may have the opportunity to add some "In Memoriam" stones for loved ones with the work being done on site in the spring using the same three brick sizes that are already installed around the Splash Pad. The cost of these engraved bricks will vary depending on the size, printing and quantity of bricks to be engraved at that time.

BAYFIELl3 0, ORil11Aair BAYFIELD CLEAN WATER PROJECT PROMOTES SOIL HEALTH IN HURON Doug Walker (Submitted photo) Agricultural producer Doug Walker has seen an increase in planting of cover crops over the past three decades. The Belgrave-area man remembers a time when he was one of the few people using cover crops in his part of Huron County and now almost all his neighbors are planting cover crops. A lifelong resident of his family farm near Belgrave, he has seen more cover crops, less tillage, and an increased interest in soil health. Many Huron County residents have undertaken projects to improve soil health, preserve topsoil, reduce erosion, and protect water quality with support of the Huron County Clean r sp�ialist 3447 Meld Rd. 579-51'6'5-5959 is1. IN WATER VIDEO Conservation Ontario has released a short, animated video so people can learn — in a fun way — about their sources of drinking water. The new video features a young man named Matt and his dog Buddy. The animated video opens with the question "Do you know where your drinking water comes from?" The video is only about a minute in length but that is enough time to provide an overview of drinking water source protection in Ontario. The video shows the groundwater and surface water (lakes and rivers) sources of our drinking water and how we all can help to prevent contamination by taking positive actions near municipal wells and intakes. The video was released on Water Wednesday, Dec. 5. To learn more about the video, and protecting drinking water, visit sourcewaterinfo.on.ca and protecti ngwatermatters.ca. "We're excited that the public has a new and entertaining way to find out about where their water comes from and how to protect it," said Mary Lynn MacDonald, Program co -supervisor for the Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley Drinking Water Source Protection Region (ABMVDWSPR). "The new video captures viewers' attention with humour, music, and great animation and encourages them to keep our drinking water safe and clean." Staff from the local source protection region say the message of the video is very important — we all have a role to play — at home and at work — taking positive actions that help to keep our municipal drinking water safe and clean. The video is available in English and French. There is also a shorter, 20 -second version. You can play the new video on the Ausable Bayfield Conservation YouTube channel at this link: https://youtu.be/4U-zmi3FJOA cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week521ssue494/tabid/915/Default.aspx 4/12 6/11/2019 Week 52 Issue 494 Water Project (HCCWP). Walker is one of the Huron landowners who has completed projects with support of the county program. In his case, he has taken part in the cover crop incentive and the forest management plan woodlot enhancement category. The HCCWP is funded by the County of Huron. Service delivery is provided by Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) and Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). The County of Huron has been praised as a leader in water quality initiatives such as HCCWP, providing grants in 17 project categories to county residents and community groups. "We tell people about the program," Walker said. He has encouraged his neighbors to contact their local conservation authority to find out about grant support and technical support for their projects. Walker grows cash crops (such as corn, soy beans, wheat, oats, barley, and edible beans and black beans). He has also been producing pedigreed seed, and processing seed, since the early 1980s. Farmers learn a lot from each other about what works and what doesn't when it comes to cover crops, according to Walker. "I have some neighbors who are doing some really good things with cover crops," he said. "I usually learn as much from them as they learn from me." There may be some challenges to cover crops but their benefits, combined with reduced tillage, are great, according to Walker. He said he sees the benefits in the health of his soil and in the clarity of creeks and drains where they are planted. It takes time to get the soil health benefits of cover crops so he encourages fellow producers to have patience as they increase their use of cover crops. The full benefits of cover crops happen when combined with less tillage, he said. "We did not get the full benefit of cover crops until we stopped doing full tillage," he said. They strip -till corn and edible beans "but that is the only tillage we do," he said. That reduction in tillage has resulted in time savings, less rutting, less soil damage, and less erosion. Huron County's water and soil programs don't just provide benefits for a single producer, according to Walker. They provide benefits for the whole community. "I hope we can make Huron County the place where others come to see sustainability in action," he said. The HCCWP review committee has approved 296 new projects, with grants of almost $400,000, in 2018. This is an increase of 19 projects from the previous year. More than a quarter of the 2018 approved projects are cover crops. The total value of 2018 approved projects — when combining the contributions of the county and landowners and other partners — is more than $1.3 million. Since 2004, Huron County landowners and community groups have, with support of HCCWP, completed close to 2,700 projects to protect local water quality. The total value of the completed projects is more than $10.5 million. Cover crops, erosion control projects, and tree planting are three of the top categories in the 17 project eligibility categories. The year 2018 is the third year of the cover crop incentive category and the project has supported the planting of almost 5,000 acres this year. "These cover crops are critical to keeping nutrients on the land and out of water," said Kate Monk, manager of Stewardship, Land and Education with ABCA. The root mass of those plants helps to anchor soil, she said. To find out more about the HCCWP visit abca.ca or mvca.on.ca or huroncounty.ca or phone your local conservation authority.

But as I write this, on Christmas Eve, the excitement is at a fevered pitch in our old farm house, or what our granddaughter lovingly refers to as the, "barn house". My grandchildren and I have decorated giant gingerbread cookies, we've melted crayon flakes in glass ornaments, we've made CD toy spinners, we've painted, glued and glittered everything imaginable that you could put on a tree, we've read many, many stories with holiday themes and we even squeezed in the new movie Mary Poppins Returns. A film that Graham Pounder, aged 7, gave two thumbs up. And I quote, "It was amazing!" Plus, we were fortunate to have some friends and family drop in to share a little holiday cheer. And yet on this Christmas Eve there is still plenty of merry to be made. I'm a little light on sleep but my heart is filled to overflowing with gratitude.
