Last week Bluewater Council was told the first phase of investigating the three old dumps by Englobe Corporation, a soils and engineering company, is completed and the second phase of investigation has been planned. Andrew Bicknell, new Works Commissioner for Bluewater, told council in a five-page report the cost for Englobe completing the study will be $49,925. This will be a $9,925 increase above the $40,000 council set aside for the investigation in its 2017 budget. Council said it would use expected budget savings from the Bayfield Bridge on Hwy 21 to pay the extra cost of the dump study. Bicknell listed eight items Englobe competed in its initial study. They included: 1) Interviews of individuals familiar with the properties. 2) Evaluation of previous environmental studies. 3) Aerial and fire insurance plans. 4) Research private and public environment databases. 5) Review the topography, hydrology, geology and public water -well records. 6) A review of the current and previous operations at the sites. 7) The corresponding potential for off-site impacts. 8) A visual observation of site features. The second stage will test for combustible fuels such as methane and the presence of waste related contaminants. Intrusive boreholes will be drilled at each site. Soil and surface water samples around ponding areas will also be sampled. Englobe expects it will take 10 weeks to complete the testing. Councilor Bill Whetstone cautioned "This work gets us to Aug. 15. Any additional work will cost the municipality more money."

The Board of Directors for Goderich Lions Club's Camp Klahanie will be hosting a Grand Opening Celebration at the camp on Black Point's Road to unveil the revitalized property on June 17. "This day is being organized to thank all of the donors and volunteers that have helped to make our vision of Camp Klahanie come true. In 2013 we had a couple of buildings with roofs that were leaking and foundations that were shifted from cold weather because the camp had been closed for four years and no one local was allowed to maintain the buildings," said Genelle Reid, secretary for the Board of Directors and an event organizer. "Now the camp is alive again. With about $400,000 in improvements it is probably one of the best facilities for youth to camp at around." Reid explained that everyone in the community is invited to come and see the improvements to the camp property and join in the celebration. Guided tours will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be a ribbon cutting at 1 p.m. of the new Comfort Station and three newly constructed bunkhouses with the main corporate and service club donors in attendance: Libro, AVIVA, Goderich Lioness and the Goderich Kinettes.

Conservation authorities, in their provincially mandated role, do important work monitoring watershed conditions, interpreting forecasts, and sharing with municipalities what local impacts there might be to an approaching flood event. ABCA can warn municipalities if a flooding event is likely to be minor or major and provide technical and planning assistance. (Submitted photo) Some Canadian communities (including in eastern Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia) faced the worst flooding in decades this month. Unrelenting rainfall and floods hit more than 130 communities. At least one person died and others were missing. Some communities declared States of Emergency. More than 1,500 people had to evacuate their homes in the Province of Quebec and more than 2,400 homes were flooded in the May storms in that province. Hundreds of Canadian soldiers took part in efforts to respond to the flooding. Hundreds of thousands of sandbags were used in Quebec to divert water during the flood. The human and financial costs of extreme weather events like these remind people of the need to promote projects and best practices that address and reduce risks from flooding, according to Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). These flood events reinforce the need to continue to protect life and property through programs such as flood forecasting and warning and flood plain management. It's not possible to prevent all risks from floods but the extreme floods which took place in early May are powerful recent examples of why the Province of Ontario has continued to support programs that limit the extent of those impacts. Ontario has programs to manage natural hazards like flooding and, for many decades, the Province has delegated specific flood plain management responsibilities to conservation authorities, where in those parts of the Province where conservation authorities exist. Conservation authorities reduce risk to life and property through a flood monitoring, forecasting, and warning system; flood plain maps to identify flood - prone areas; and regulations to limit or restrict new development in those flood -prone areas in order to protect life and reduce property damage. Local residents and community groups are helping to reduce risks from flooding by helping to make the local watershed more resilient to extreme weather events. Landowners and communities are using best management practices and completing local projects that slow down and capture water and release it slowly, improve forest conditions, and manage water running off of land during storm events. "They can also protect, create, and enhance local wetlands, which provide some of the best flood storage during high-water events," said Davin Heinbuck, ABCA Land and Water technologist. Conservation Ontario, which represents Ontario's 36 conservation authorities, has called for increased investment to maintain flood prevention and warning programs to prepare for future floods. The projected increase in the scale and frequency of extreme weather events, as climate continues to change, places increased demands on existing efforts to protect life and property from flooding, according to ABCA. "The recent flood events in Ontario and Quebec remind us how damaging floods can be," Heinbuck said. "These major floods show why continued investment is needed to continue Lake Huron Realty, Remax Reliable Realty — Brian Coombs, and Wade Berard Plumbing are all sponsors for this grand opening event and organizers are thankful for their support. SATURDAYS AT THE LIBRARY The Friends of the Bayfield Library (FOBL) will host their next installment of "Saturdays at the Library" on June 24.

"We issued a Flood Watch to municipalities, and shared this flood message with local media and on social media, so municipal staff and residents would be aware of the potential for flooding," said Heinbuck. Fortunately, observed rainfall amounts in this watershed were on the low end of the forecasted range. Otherwise, flood impacts in the local area could have been worse, he said.

SHARE THE ROAD SIGNS PART OF COUNTY CYCLING STRATEGY Members of the Huron County Cycling Advisory Committee had their picture taken with a Share the Road sign These signs are now posted about the county to serve as a reminder to all users of the road to share the space safely. (Submitted photo) Huron County Council believes strongly in promoting safety on our roads and recognizes the potential of cycling tourism in the region. The Huron County Cycling Strategy is being implemented to make cycling safer and more enjoyable on Ontario's west coast. "The Huron County Cycling Strategy was created by a steering committee that includes stakeholders from the cycling, health, municipal, police, tourism and transportation sectors," said Laura Dekroon, chair of the Huron County Cycling Advisory Committee. "The strategy recommends a number of actions and an implementation plan that will make our communities more bicycle friendly within the next five years." The Share the Road signs serve as a reminder to all users of the road to share the space safely. Provincial law requires motorists to give cyclists at least a 1 M space when passing and should change lanes whenever possible to ensure safety. In addition to the work of the Public Works Department to keep county roads safe all year long, two new infrastructure projects are being implemented this season as part of the cycling strategy. A total of 60 Share the Road signs are being installed throughout the county to remind all road users to be safe. Council is implementing a pilot project to pave the shoulders on County Road 31 between Saltford and Benmiller, which is a favorite route among cyclists.

His friends and neighbors got together ahead of time to salute Riddell's years of service with a dinner and tribute. (Submitted photo) A capacity crowd of close to 200 people jammed the Dashwood Community Centre on May 6 to celebrate longtime Liberal MPP Jack Riddell. Riddell was recently nominated for induction into the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame at a ceremony scheduled for next month. But his friends and neighbors got together ahead of time to salute Riddell's years of service with a dinner and tribute. The Huron -Bruce Federal Liberal Association organized the tribute event but people from all political stripes were there to salute Riddell. "What a great event, overwhelming and humbling and full of great memories and people," Riddell said in his speech after a lengthy tribute that included a slideshow documenting his remarkable career, speeches by other dignitaries and a message from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Riddell saluted his family for supporting him, keeping the farm going and working together on political events all those years. "I owe a huge debt of gratitude to so many people," Riddell said. He said his time as agriculture minister was the highlight of his career, "a point of real pride and accomplishment." "It means the world to me that you are all here tonight, sharing this special occasion with me," Riddell said. "It makes the years melt away, with the stories and successes that we all built together. I was the lucky one who was honored to represent all of you." "This is a wonderful opportunity to salute the women of Huron County," said Mayor Cole. "Our community is the vibrant, welcoming place that it is today because of their contributions. These incredible women lead by example to make a positive difference in their communities, and we are very grateful for all that they do." The event will be open to the public.

NEW HORIZONS Huron -Bruce MP Ben Lobb encourages organizations to apply for funding from the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) 2017. Seniors make significant and valuable contributions to their families, communities and society. That is why the Government of Canada remains committed to empowering all Canadians, including seniors, to contribute to and share in the prosperity of the country. The NHSP call for proposals, open until June 23, is seeking proposals for projects led or inspired by seniors. Organizations are invited to apply for funding for projects that promote positive aging and empower seniors to initiate and participate in activities that benefit the community. Eligible organizations can receive up to $25,000 in project funding. The government recognizes the remarkable contributions that seniors have made over the years and continues to take measures to ensure they enjoy the fulfilling lives they deserve. By investing in NHSP community-based projects that help foster partnerships with local governments, institutions and organizations, the government is reinforcing its commitment to deliver positive change and improve the lives of seniors. "New Horizons for Seniors Program projects promote seniors' volunteerism, mentorship and civic leadership and inspire goodwill, sharing and friendship in Canadian communities. These projects help seniors in our community keep active, stay connected, share their knowledge and continue to enhance their skills. I encourage local organizations to apply for New Horizons for Seniors Program project funding to provide seniors with the opportunity to both participate in and lead community activities." said MP Lobb. Through the previous 2016-2017 call for proposals, the Government of Canada provided approximately $35 million in NHSP funding for close to 1,850 community-based projects. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week231ssue4l3/tabid/833/Default.aspx 10/22 6/13/2019 week 23 Issue 413 Riddell formally ended his 17 -year run as a provincial MPP in Huron -Bruce in 1990 after an incredible tenure that also included a period as Minister of Agriculture and Food from 1985-89. While he did not seek re-election in 1990, Riddell has remained an active Liberal, a member of the board of the Huron -Bruce federal Liberals and a key player in the 2015 election campaign. The official ceremony to install Riddell in the hall of fame takes place in Milton, on June 11. But his friends wanted to get the ball rolling early to celebrate this amazing person. Guests included South Huron Mayor Maureen Cole, former MPP Paul Klopp, former Speaker of the Legislative Assembly at Queen's Park, Hugh Edighoffer, former MPP Murray Elston and longtime MP Paul Steckle. One of the organizers of the event, former federal Liberal candidate Allan Thompson, served as the Master of Ceremonies and thanked Riddell for all of his help during the 2015 election. "Jack joined the team, came out of political retirement and really played an important role in the 2015 election campaign and I am eternally grateful for that," Thompson said. "As a candidate, it was learning from the master being out with Jack," Thompson said. " I remember going to a fish fry in Zurich with Jack. He worked that room like he was the candidate running for office. It just seemed like he knew everyone. And some of the younger people, if he didn't know them by name, he would just say: 'who's your grandfather,' and then we'd know them too." There were tribute speeches from former Liberal MPP Murray Elston, former federal Liberal MP Paul Steckle and Riddell's daughter, Donna Overholt. "He is a remarkable man and a great Dad," Overholt said. "He has made us proud as he forged ahead with great enthusiasm and determination in his life. We are all so proud of you and we know that you are so very deserving of this honor. You worked hard all of your life and you gave the best that you had." And she recounted one of her Dad's favorite sayings: "Life is an echo, it all comes back, the good the false and the true. So give to the world the best that you have and the best will come back to you." Elston said that he too learned from the veteran politician. "Jack is one of those guys who is in your corner, to make sure that you have a chance to succeed. He is a man who knows what he wants and how to get at it," Elston said. "But he is plain spoken, so you'd better make sure you're ready to listen." "Jack was the Ag minister probably at one of the worst times for agriculture," Elston said, recounting Riddell's work to help farmers struggling in the face of record high interest rates. Deputy Premier Deb Matthews also sent a message, congratulating Jack for his work 'day in and day out' at Queen's Park. "You constantly stood up for the interests of the agricultural community." And Matthews joked that she would gladly go and knock on doors if Riddell decided to get back into politics. "They say it's never too late, so if you ever want to get back in the game Jack, I'll be there," Matthews wrote. Former Huron -Bruce MP Paul Steckle shared stories of going hunting with his friend Jack, who he joked was careful with his money and didn't want to part with a pair of boots that got soaked in the mud. Riddell put the boots in the oven, Steckle recounted, but left them there too long. "When they came out they were well roasted and Jack quietly put them in the woodpile." Months later, his friends sent Riddell the boots in a COD parcel. On a serious note, Steckle said it was easy to sell tickets for the Riddell tribute. "This is probably the easiest dinner I ever sold tickets for. There were more people wanting tickets than we had tickets. Everybody likes Jack and everybody knew Jack," Steckle said. "We just want you to know how proud we are to have been included in your list of friends." In a letter read out by Thompson, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saluted Riddell Since 2004, the NHSP has approved close to 19,700 projects in hundreds of communities across Canada, with a total Government of Canada investment of approximately $417 million. Based on Statistics Canada data from the 2016 census, there are now more seniors (5.9 million) than children (5.8 million). By 2061, they project 12 million seniors to 8 million children.
