HEROES OF HURON cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Weekl2lssue298/tabid/716/Default.aspx 1/11 6/13/2019 Week 12 Issue 298 Early on the afternoon of March 4, the Bayfield Tree Service began the removal of a Black Locust (left) and a Horse Chestnut (right) on Bayfield Main Street N. following a report prepared by the Public Works Department from findings by an independent consultant. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) There will be four less shady spots on Main Street this summer as four trees were removed from the street during the winter months due to such factors as age and disease. Two Sugar Maples, one at 21 Main Street N. in front of the Red Pump and another at 20 Main Street N. by the Bayfield Archives were removed in January. The trees were estimated to between 20-40 years old and were suffering from vehicular damage and stress. On March 4, two neighboring trees, one an 80 year-old Black Locust standing at 11 Main Street N. in front of Shop Bike Coffee, and the other a Horse Chestnut estimated to be between 30-40 years of age located at 13 Main Street N. near The Heritage Group were removed by the Bayfield Tree Service. The Locust had stress cracks migrating up its branches while the Chestnut was suffering from leaf blotch disease. According to a report presented to Bluewater Council on Jan. 5 given by Jennette Walker, manager of Public Works for Bluewater the Horse Chestnut and Black Locust needed to be removed by a tree removal company, due to their size and in keeping with standard municipal practices. Municipal staff cut down the smaller Sugar Maples. Walker noted in her report that as part of the preliminary design work for the Bayfield Main Street — Streetscape and Reconstruction Project, Martin Quinn (Parks Supervisor for the Town of Goderich) was hired to consult on the construction survivability of the trees within the proposed two blocks of the future Main Street N. project. She stated to council that since the topic of trees can be a very sensitive subject for the public, it was felt that hiring an outside consultant to work with the Bayfield Main Street Reconstruction Design Project Advisory Team would be an asset. The report stated that Quinn reviewed 27 trees (plus two stumps) within the proposed two blocks. From his review it has been estimated that, in all seven trees will not likely survive through construction or much longer after construction due to their roots being disturbed by the work. However, only the four trees noted above needed to be removed post haste due to age, vehicular damage and/or disease. Some branch pruning on some of the remaining healthy trees may also be necessary along Main St N to continue to maintain tree health and it is hoped to complete this in May. The report concluded that by removing these trees based on their age and/or health the municipality's liability from property damage from falling branches, etc., would be reduced. Walker also pointed out that part of the new streetscape project is the planting of new trees in this section of Main Street N. The new trees are proposed to be native species, able to withstand the climate and conditions of a well -traveled street, with better protection from vehicle traffic. Jim Rutledge, of Goderich, is ensuring that the fallen boys and men of Huron County will not be forgotten. In April, he will lead a group of local people on a third visit to France and Belgium to visit the grave sites of the Huron soldiers lost in WWI. They will also be participating in ceremonies at Vimy Ridge and Leper. They will then move further into Belgium and also the Netherlands to visit the cemeteries of those who lost their lives in WWII. While in the Netherlands the group will be participating in the ceremonies and celebration to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of that country. At all gravesites they visit they will mark the headstone with a Canadian Flag, as well as the historically appropriate Canadian and Ontario ensign. They will also photograph the headstone or memorial. Rutledge is asking for the community to support this initiative by joining the "Heroes of Huron Journey of Honour and Remembrance 2015" on Facebook. He is also requesting that anyone from the Bayfield area who is planning to attend any of the Netherland's celebrations and ceremonies contact him at bookofhonour3946@gmail.com.

From I -r: John Lalor, who defended, "And the Birds Rained Down", by Jocelyn Saucier; Quinn Ross, "Intolerable", by Kamal AI-Solaylee; Leanne Kavanagh, "When Everything Feels like the Movies", by Raziel Reid; Allan Thompson, 'Ru" by Kim Thuy; and Dave Maclaren, "The Inconvenient Indian", by Thomas King. The defenders presented very convincing cases for their books and it became clear that all of the books had the ability to break down barriers and change perspectives. The audience had a tough decision to make that was reflected in the distribution of votes. It was Ross whose tight, and solid defense of "Intolerable", earned him first place. Lalor's captivating portrayal of "And the Birds Rained Down", earned him a second place finish. Kavanagh, Maclaren, and Thompson were all within a couple of votes from first place. According to Martha Beechie, owner of The Village Bookshop, it was a challenge that the defenders all met with success and she would like to thank them for taking it on.

As the sunshine and warmer temperatures were softening the trail foundation snowshoes were almost a necessity to explore this new trail constructed about 2013 by the ABCA. PHOTOS BY ADRIANN SCHREUDER On March 8th, eight folks on snowshoes and four hikers set out to explore the new Front Road trail near Clinton as part of a Bayfield River Valley Trail Association sponsored hike. The trail is located in an Ausable Bayfield Conservation Area. It was created about 2013, so it is not yet in the Huron County Hiking Guide. It starts on the West side of Front Road just North of the railroad tracks and is a loop trail mostly through a pine forest that takes about 30 to 45 minutes to walk. Hike Leader Patrick Capper reported that, "It has some fine views of the Bayfield River and is home to many squirrels, a few rabbits and foxes and last year there was evidence of deer. "Two hikers found the trail too soft to stay on the snowshoe packed trail and soon had to turn back but two hikers managed to mostly stay on top of the packed trail. The merry chatter along the way by the ten participants ensured that sightings of wild life were few and far between but nevertheless it was an enjoyable outing." cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Weekl2lssue298/tabid/716/Default.aspx 8/11 6/13/2019 Week 12 Issue 298 Members of the BRVTA took advantage of one last wintery day on March 8th to hike the new Front Road Trail near Clinton.

So this past weekend our immediate family all came for an overnight visit for the first time since our big move. I knew it would be an adjustment for all of us because since our kids left for university they have always been given a hotel room to stay in when they came home for a visit and this just continued when they married and started a family. So they've been accustomed to having their own space with all the other little conveniences one would expect from a hotel. However, I must say we all managed very well. Our grandson bunked on a pullout couch in our room and he thought that was great fun. His toys, cars and games took over the sitting room and it was lovely to have a dedicated spot to spend time with him. Neither the doorbell nor the phone interrupted our meal times together, a common occurrence in our old life. For the first time in my married life, no longer working where we live, I felt like my family was finally at home and that was a pretty wonderful feeling. — Melody P.S.
