Week 10 Issue 296
In November and December of 2014, a crew of 14 women crossed the Atlantic Ocean on
board the Sea Dragon, a 72 -foot sailboat. Included were scientists, activists, artists and
technologists. The mission for the crossing of 2,600 nautical miles from Lanzarote, Canary
Islands, to Martinique in the Caribbean, was to make the unseen seen — from the pollution in
our oceans to the toxins in our own bodies.
Local resident Jen Pate, co-owner/operator of The Windmill Lake Wake & Eco Park, was part
of this team and has completed a documentary of the trip and will present it together with her
experiences at the Bayfield Town Hall on Apr. 2 starting at 7:30 p.m. The film entitled,
"eXXpedition: Making the Unseen Seen" will premiere at the Royal Geographic Society in
London, England on March 7.
It took 19 days of swells, squalls and intense heat to complete the passage. Water samples
were taken and conditions were recorded while sampling for plastic pollution of the Atlantic in
conjunction with the Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation (ASC) Marine Microplastics
Project (ASC Microplastics Project website).
Microplastics particles, acting as sponges for toxins including BPA, DDT, pesticides and others,
are often ingested by small forms of aquatic life and move up the food chain. They pose a
range of environmental and human health risks, not least the proliferation of cancer. While
contributing to ASC's wider data set, and simultaneously raising awareness for the value of
adventure science, the goal was to help increase knowledge and global awareness of issues
affecting environmental and human health.
The film presentation, sponsored by the Photography Club of Bayfield, will be open to the
public with admission by donation. Proceeds will go to the Bayfield Blue Community.
Please mail, bayfieldpc@gmail.com for further information on the presentation.
Pate, along with another member of the eXXpedition crew, Dr. Elaine McKinnon, will be
launching a new eXXpedition in the Great Lakes region of North America later in 2015. To learn
more about both voyages, visit exxpedition.com.
PUBLIC MEETING NEXT STAGE OF
COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN
In early February, Bayfield residents and
business owners were invited to voice their
opinions on the village aspect of the Bluewater
Community Improvement Plan (CIP) at an
Open House. Starting in December of 2014
residents of all three villages and six hamlets
that comprise the Municipality of Bluewater
were given the opportunity to help establish a
physical area within their community they felt
should receive financial incentives for
improvement.
With this stage nearing completion the
Bluewater Council will be holding a public
meeting on March 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the
Council Chambers in Varna to consider a
Community Improvement Plan (CIP) pursuant
to the provisions of the Planning Act.
Bluewater is the first in Huron to work on a CIP
for the entire municipality. The proposed CIP
will assist to improve the three villages and six
hamlets in the Municipality. Maps showing the
exact location of the Community Improvement
Project Areas in all nine communities are
available on the Municipal website
(www.town.bluewater.on.ca) and at the public
What is meant by physical area? Organizers noted
that on a map a continuous line must be drawn
enclosing the one area (streets and property) in the
village that needs the improvement. The white line
indicates the proposed area while the red denotes
the line drawn by participants at the February
meeting. It should be noted that this revised map is
not the final version of the project area.
Recommendations can still be emailed to Mark
Cassidy (m.cassidy@town.bluewater.on.ca) and
According to Martha Beechie, new owner of The
Village Bookshop, "A strong team of defenders is
now in place and ready to tackle this year's Canada
Reads question. The list of books is impressive,
ensuring a close battle, however by 4 p.m. there will
be only one winner!"
Beechie invites community members to be the judge,
and learn the answer first at'Bayfield Reads 2015'.
The event will be held from 2-4 p.m. at the Bayfield
Town Hall. Tickets are available now for $5 each at
The Village Bookshop.

Facebook or visit www.thevillagebookshop.com.
WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
St Andrew's United Church will host the annual World
Day of Prayer Service on March 6th starting at 2 p.m.
According to the Women's World Day of Prayer
website, "The World Day of Prayer service for 2015
has been written by the Christian women of The
Bahamas."
Although written by women, all are invited to attend
and share in this service that focuses on the theme
of 'Jesus said to them, "Do you know what I have
done to you?
The service will also provide knowledge about The
Bahamas and not only from the tourist's perspective.
The Huron County Brain Injury Support Group has
been formed to help those living with a Traumatic
Brain Injury (TBI) as well as their caregivers.
Participants can learn more about living with a TBI
(whether it is mild or severe), discuss common
issues and problems and have fun in a positive and
supportive environment. The facilitator will be Nancy
Robinson, who is a local Occupational Therapist and
works with TBI survivors on a daily basis.
Anyone is welcome, no matter their circumstances or
how long ago their TBI took place. The first evening,
March 9, pizza will be served at 6 p.m., followed by
discussion afterward.
The meetings will be held on the second Monday of
the month at the OMAFRA office, 100 Don Street,
Clinton from 6-8 p.m.
DINING FOR SENIORS
A sign that spring is on the horizon is the return of
Bayfield Dining for Seniors. The Thursday lunches

RESIDENTS WITH LOCAL HISTORY TO
SHARE SOUGHT BY ARCHIVES
Is&,
Dianne Smith
The Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) is
updating the history of the community's notable
residents as well as property histories and the
society needs the support of the community to
make it a successful project.
"This is a call for help from residents who have
history to share, stories to tell or stories that
want telling," said Ralph Laviolette, village
archivist.
The BHS has engaged Dianne Smith, of
Egmondville, to do research over the next few
months for the Bayfield Archives.
Smith has worked for Waterloo's Schneider museum, Stratford Festival and other notables.
She was on Seaforth's LACAC committee and has done extensive research in A.Y. McLean's
Huron Expositor archives on articles about Seaforth, Huron County and Bayfield. The Huron
County Historical Society has published her work in four annual editions of Huron Historical
Notes and the Huron East Chamber of Commerce has used her research for their Doors Open
Events in past years.
Smith will be researching ownership records of properties, homes and cottages in the older
section of Bayfield and doing new research, or assembling existing researched materials, on
notable residents and buildings over the years, augmenting the info gathered by the Bayfield
LACAC years ago.
These updated histories will be further enhanced by historical photos of the buildings as well as
current curbside images recently taken by a few members of the Photography Club of Bayfield.
In addition a university student will also be collecting oral histories from some of the village's
older residents during the summer months.
Anyone wishing to learn more or share historical information should email Laviolette at
baya rch ives@tcc. on. ca.
SOUP AND A MOVIE
A Lenten tradition, the congregation of Trinity
Anglican Church welcomes the community to join in
fellowship over a hearty bowl of soup while delighting
in a great cinematic work.
"Soup and a Movie at Trinity" will be held over the
next three Mondays from 6-9 p.m. A free will offering
is collected with any extra funds going to outreach.
All in the community are welcome but need to
reserve their spot by calling 519 565-2790 by the
Sunday prior to the movie.
The schedule of movies is as follows: Saving Mr.
Banks, March 9; 12 Years a Slave, March 16; and
The One Hundred Foot Journey, March 23.
Time is often a factor in why people don't exercise so
perhaps a new Zumba class starting up on Tuesday
nights might be of help to some.
Annemarie Pedersen will be leading the class to be
held at the Bayfeld Town Hall. The first class will be
held on March 10 for one hour starting at 5:30 p.m.
MARCH BREAK ICE
March Break is almost upon us and the Bayfield
Arena Community Partners are providing plenty of
opportunity for families and friends to take to the ice.
From March 15 to 21, free public skating will be
offered from 1-3 p.m. on both Sundays plus Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday!
There are also several open ice times available for
rental. March Break would be the perfect opportunity
for friends, family to get together to skate. It would
also be a terrific time for organizations to book some
ice for extra preparation for that big game or
upcoming special event. Businesses might also
consider renting the ice for a great team building
experience.
To view what open ice times are available visit
bacp.ca and check out the arena calendar. Ice can
be rented for $54 per hour on weekdays or $75 per
hour on March 21-22.
To learn more contact the arena at 519-565-2121 or
Bill Whetstone at 519 955-0682.

house along Hwy. 21 (home to Tanja's Hair Design in
more recent years). Then they moved to a house

So we've been in our new apartment for just over five weeks now and people have been asking how our 16 year-old feline is
adapting to his new surrounds. And I'd have to say he is doing pretty well — having lived on the second floor for the majority of
his life he had never really been exposed to birds and squirrels — so a large window overlooking a cornucopia of birdfeeders is
something of an early morning delight for him that can only get better as spring advances. Oh, and those squirrels — they are
just too exciting! It is so much fun to watch them dig for peanuts under the snow! Well, I'm speaking for myself now but judging
from the rapid motion emanating from Curly's tail when he watches them I think he agrees with me.
One of the most worrisome things about our big move was the fact that our new roommate, my mother-in-law, also had a cat.
Melody Falconer -Pounder As Sammy was a rescue no one is quite clear on his age but judging from his antics we estimate him to be around two. Now
two is a lot younger than 16 and we wondered how they might interact with one another. Well, Sammy all but moved into our
apartment with us. He comes in to say hello in the morning and goodnight in the evening. He watches our television (curling is a favorite) and isn't bashful
about visiting Curly's litter box either. He can often be found perched in a high spot or snuggled up on the bed for his afternoon nap. He takes his meals
with Curly and they watch the birds and squirrels together. Curly seems to tolerate this interloper and I dare say he sometimes even goes looking for him
to play.
Having this new friend has perhaps made the move a bit easier on our old fellow — I know the young lad's constant curiosity certainly has brightened some
rather dull winter days for me, and judging from the curve in Curly's tail I think he might agree. — Melody
