The public is invited to a short launch ceremony at the Ausable Bayfield Conservation office at 71108 Morrison Line, Exeter. People can also conserve greenhouse gases and stay at home or their office and connect to the announcement event by telephone or computer. The partners who have made the website say the site features an easy-to-use carbon calculator. People can use the calculator to find out how many tonnes of greenhouse gases are produced by their activities. The calculator will also tell people how much it would cost to compensate for the impacts of their vehicle use, home energy use, and air travel. It will also tell them how many trees will be planted locally with the help of their donation. Carbon and other greenhouse gases push average temperatures up but trees can help to reduce the impacts of climate change and help us adapt to the changes we are experiencing in weather and climate. People can support the planting of trees through the new website. This will help the local area adapt to our changing climate and weather extremes, according to the partners in this project. The website creators say our carbon footprint is our greenhouse gas emissions released by typical aspects of our day-to-day life, such as using fuel for our vehicles and home energy use. "Trees help us adapt to our changing climate by providing shade and cooling effects when it gets hot and limiting the effects of wind and snow when it gets cold," said Tim Cumming, communications specialist at Ausable Bayfield Conservation. "Trees also provide habitat for diverse species and help to protect the quality of local water." Compensating for our carbon footprint is easy. First, use the quick and easy calculator at footprintstoforests.com to find out your carbon footprint. Then, make a donation for all or part of your footprint cost. The local conservation authorities will then put that money to work by planting trees. This will help our local area to mitigate greenhouse gases and adapt to changes in weather and climate. Interested people located near the launch event are invited to attend in person.

Gayle Waters and Roger Lewington enjoy a sample of soup offered by The Little Inn of Bayfield. PHOTOS AND STORY BY GARY LLOYD- REES Now in its fourth year, Soup's On, hosted by the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS), attracted record numbers, with the organizers estimating that about 200 adults and children came to enjoy the event. There were sixteen soups for participants to taste and vote on at the event, held at the Bayfield Town Hall on the afternoon of Feb. 16. Three local churches, eight community groups, as well as five local restaurants took part. Richard Fitoussi, once again officiated as the judge for the "Chefs Award" for which only the restaurants were in competition. After tasting all 16 soups in a blind tasting and marking them for presentation, aroma, taste and originality, he awarded first place to The Albion Hotel for their entry of "Prime Rib Dinner" soup. Fitoussi awarded equal second place to The Bayfield Diner with their "Chicken, Mushroom and Leek" soup, and The Docks with their entry of "Carrot, Tarragon and Goat Cheese" soup. Fitoussi also marked the church/community groups' offerings and although their award was separately decided by popular vote, bragging rights go to his top two choices: the Bayfield Ratepayers' Association ("Apple and Butternut Squash" soup) and the Bayfield Writers' Festival ("Carrot and Parsnip" bisque). Ballots were collected from the public for the "People's Choice Award" for which only the church and community groups were in competition. First place went to The Bayfield Historical Society with their "Slow Cooker Thai Chicken" soup and tied for second place were The Bayfield Mews for their "Parsnip" soup and the Lions' Club of Bayfield for their "Seafood Chowder". The public's choices for restaurants (covered by the Chef's Award) were: first, The Albion Hotel, and tied for second, The Bayfield Diner and The Docks. For the second year running, a clear case of public opinion being in line with the expert judge!

The arena was buzzing just prior to the national Ice Dance competition. There were two "wonderkins" in the house. I had spent the week at the championships and gotten to know the people seated around me. They said, "Watch out for Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue these two are going to do something big in the future." The duo had me at hello, really. They created magic on the ice that day. They made us all giddy with possibilities. Fast forward to the Olympics Vancouver 2010. As I watched them skate their free program I wasn't giddy — I was so nervous for them I forgot to breathe — it was truly a golden moment. In the last four years they continued to grow and mature on the blade — they took risks, they danced outside the box. They continued to represent their country with eloquence, grace and good humor. And suddenly the next Winter Olympics was upon us. Sochi 2014. Two more medals. This time silver but definitely if they gave medals for good sportsmanship and strength of character those medals would contain glints of gold. Thank you Scott and Tessa for taking us along on such a wonderful journey... it feels like it has only just begun. And for those of us who love to watch skating, whether it is amateur or professional, we hope it is not an ending but a great new beginning. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
