NDP approval for local resident Wilhelmina Laurie was granted recently after completion of the party's vetting process. Laurie has lived in Huron -Bruce for forty years, raising a family of five children with her husband Joe, on a country property near Varna. The couple has five young grandchildren, with a fifth expected in August. Laurie was born and raised in St. Marys, the eldest of ten children of Dutch immigrants. After high school at St. Marys DCVI she earned a French Bachelor of Arts. She received her bilingual certification at Laurentian University in Sudbury. It was while living in Sudbury that she cast her first vote for the NDP. Laurie graduated from Western with a Bachelor of Education before teaching French as a second language at Brucefield. Her Master's Degree and Principal's Qualifications were earned while teaching and raising her family. During the politically active Mike Harris years, she led the teachers' federation as President of the former Huron Women Teachers Association. As a vice-principal, and FW Political Action rep for the Southwest Region Laurie lost her federation status when Harris took school administrators out of the union, a move which saddened many principals and vice -principals. She went on to work as a school administrator and teacher in six other schools across Huron County and explored even more schools as a busy supply teacher after retirement. When a trustee left in mid-term, Laurie served out the remaining two years as trustee for the Avon Maitland District School Board. Laurie was approached shortly after retirement to act as County Co -Chair for the CT Scanner for Huron Campaign. Together with a hard-working committee, this highly successful campaign raised $5 million dollars in three years, and not only purchased a CT Scanner, but also revamped the entire digital mammography and x-ray suite at Alexandra and Marine General Hospital. She has also been active with Varna United Church for many years and acted as its Treasurer for the past 15 years. She enjoys singing with a number of different choirs in the area and has served on the executive of the Blyth Festival Singers for over ten years. The Huron Bruce NDP has been part of Laurie's life for over 30 years, and the executive for 22. She served fourteen years as secretary, six as president and is now a Provincial Councilor and social media point for the riding association. She has worked on campaigns since 1990. She has managed campaigns for Tony McQuail, Paul Klopp and Grant Robertson and now feels the call to step up to the plate herself. Laurie cites the gas plant scandal, financial mismanagement of EHealth and Ornge, the teachers' strike, recent hydro increases, the closure of Bluewater Detention Centre and the cancellation of the Slots at Racetracks programs as reasons why she decided it was time to answer that call. Huron -Bruce NDP will announce its nomination meeting within the next few weeks PICKLEBALL AND SHUFFLEBOARD NEW ACTIVITIES FOR SENIORS Due to the efforts of Bayfield Mews residents, a Government of Canada grant through the New Horizons for Seniors Program has been issued to bring Pickleball and Shuffleboard to Bluewater. The race can be best viewed at the South Pier of the Bayfield Harbor — the plastic waterfowl will be set free at 1 p.m. Tickets are now available from club members or Brandons Hardware and are selling for $5 each or five chances for $20. Only 750 ducks will be "sold". This event is always a sell out so don't wait to the last minute to purchase. The grand prize at the duck race will be a handcrafted stone lighthouse created by the talented Tony Laporte, an estimated $1,000 prize. Gunther Hass/Walton Company has donated Detroit Tigers tickets for four, a $500 value, for second place; and Main Street Optometric has given a $200 pair of sunglasses for third. Money raised from the race will go toward the Optimist Club's many "friends of youth" projects. MOTORCYCLISTS LNVI 1 ��L' D Some Bayfield and area motorcycle enthusiasts would like to share their interest with other mature riders by forming a small group. They are looking for six to eight like-minded individuals to join them for rides during the week or perhaps on Sundays. The rides would last for four or five hours depending on the weather. There would be no club dues or membership fees. Riders would depart from the Bayfield Garage. To learn more contact Malcolm at 519 482-8519. If enough interest is generated a meeting will be held. BLUEWATER BLOOMS The 2013 Five Blooms Winning Bluewater Communities in Blooms Committee (BCIBC) will be hosting an Earth Day Tree Sale on Apr. 26 at the Stanley Complex in Varna, 38572 Mill Road.

For those who want an early chance to play Pickleball the sport will be offered at the Stanley Complex in Varna on Apr. 29 and May 1 before moving to the Bayfield Arena on May 6 along with Shuffleboard. An Introduction to Pickleball will also be held on May 6 at the Bayfield Arena starting at 9 a.m. Then on subsequent Tuesdays and Thursdays the two sports will be offered from 9 a.m. to noon. Participants may bring their own paddles or use ones supplied. Comfortable court clothes and running or court shoes are required. Eye protection is advised for all racquet sports. PIANO DONORS RECOGNIZED WITH UNIQUE PLAQUE A commemorative plaque has now been placed in the Bayfield Town Hall acknowledging all those who contributed to the 2013 Piano Fundraiser campaign. Thank to the generosity of Bayfield residents and visitors, the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS) was able to purchase a new Roland Digital piano, which has already been in use by performing artists on numerous occasions over the past year. President of the BTHHS, Kate Lloyd -Rees said, "The society would like to thank all those who participated in this fundraising campaign. We encourage everyone to come in and view the plaque, which is in the shape of a full-sized piano keyboard with names of contributors written in calligraphy on the keys. We are also extremely grateful to Rita Paakkunainen for donating her time and artistry by inscribing the names onto the plaque." In case anyone is still interested, there are still some keys available to purchase at $50 each. Please call 519 565 4404 to learn more.

There are still some keys available if anyone would like to make a donation to the cause. (Photo by Gary Lloyd -Rees) SECRETARY NEEDED FOR AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY The Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) is still looking for someone interested in becoming its secretary. The job would include taking the minutes for meetings, forwarding email messages to directors and handling the entries coming in for the fair and calculating the amount of money each exhibitor would get. All of the work with entering the exhibitors' entries and the judges' sheets are all completed using a computer program. The book is already on the program ready for fair day. If this position sounds interesting, contact Don Brodie at 519 263-2404. The current secretary is quite willing to help anyone interested. Some of the new entertainment in the works for the Bayfield Community Fair in August will include possibly a demonstration on knife throwing. There is a growing interest in the skill and several area people meet regularly to perfect their abilities. Finding the absolute safest location to showcase this art will be worked on over the next few months. A pony ride with real ponies will be available to the young folk on the Sunday of the fair. Boston Pizza Goderich is hosting a Large Pizza Give Back event for the Goderich Lions Club's Camp Klahanie on the weekend of May 2-4. People who purchase a regular priced large pizza over the weekend will see $8 given to Camp Klahanie from Boston Pizza Goderich. "Let's help to return this local camp to local youths as a place where they can fully enjoy camping in the beauty of Ontario's west coast nature," said Laura Herman, assistant general manager of Boston Pizza Goderich. The give back is applicable on all orders for dine in, take out or delivery. For more information call Boston Pizza Goderich at 519 524-7797. Located on Black's Point Road West just south of Goderich off Hwy. 21 Camp Klahanie was purchased in the late summer of 2013 by the Goderich Lions Club from Girl Guides of Canada after a four year struggle to realize this goal by both club members and the Camp Klahanie Friends Association. Conserving rainwater is one of the best ways to protect local water quality. In an effort to encourage local households to capture and store rain water, the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) is participating in a "Rain Barrel Blitz". Getting more rain barrels in the area is one of the ideas from a community advisory committee in their recently released Main Bayfield Watershed Plan. Due to popular demand orders for rain barrels will be accepted up until noon on Apr. 24. Celebrate Earth Day this week and order a barrel online today at rainbarrel.ca/bayfieldtrails. Delivery is set for Saturday morning and the barrels can be picked up at St. Andrews United Church between 9 a.m. and noon. The rain barrels cost $50 each with a portion of proceeds supporting the BRVTA. Buyers have a choice of colors and each rain barrel comes equipped with all the parts you need to set it up. Downspout diverters, dispensing hoses, and rain barrel stands are also available at an additional cost. ONE CARE FITNESS One Care offers fun exercise opportunities in Bayfield.

They hope that visitors' interest was aroused with a preview of what the fair will look like this year.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER The Bayfield Optimist Club's 12th annual Easter Egg Hunt in Clan Gregor Square was held under sunny skies amid a glorious warm breeze bringing out oodles of youngsters in their spring finery. Shortly after 1 p.m. about 40 lbs of chocolate eggs were thrown out on the lawn and as soon as the word "go" was given the children descended putting eggs in their baskets as fast as their little hands would allow. Meanwhile those parents and grandparents that weren't offering helpful suggestions on technique were busy taking pictures with their cell phones. Once again this year the Easter Bunny graced the park with his presence following the busiest night of the year for said rabbit and caused a lot of excitement among the younger set. An Easter basket of goodies was raffled off to help cover the hunt expenses and Colin Smith of Bayfield was the lucky recipient. His win also proved quite exciting for his two brothers as well. As the day was such a lovely one following the hunt many people walked across the park to enjoy some time on the playground equipment. Nearby the Splash Pad sits waiting to begin its second season... both are Optimist Club initiatives. The club is now accepting new members. Anyone interested in improving the lives of children in the local community should contact Brenda Kinnear at kaconsulting@tcc.on.ca. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Weekl71ssue251/tabid/665/Default.aspx 6/10 5/31/2019 Week -17 Issue -251 Children scrambled for chocolate eggs while the adults snapped pictures on their cell phones. First timers to the hunt always need a little guidance from the more experienced. The fashion is always fabulous at the Easter egg Aunt.
