tower. Removal of existing lead-based paint and repainting of the Cove Island Lighthouse will also take place.

Minister Shea stated that “Today’s announcement builds on the Government of Canada’s commitment to infrastructure investments ensuring historical landmarks like the Cove Island Lighthouse remain secure and solid for future generations to enjoy.”

This announcement comes as part of the Government’s initiatives to support infrastructure across the country. Last fall, it was announced that $5.8 billion over the next 2 years would be invested in infrastructure in areas such as heritage, First Nations education, defence, borders, research facilities, harbours, transportation and search and rescue. As part of this funding, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Canadian Coast Guard

will receive a total of $551.1 million.

“Canada’s light stations are critically important to navigation and safety in our waters and on our coasts,” said Miller. “I am very pleased to see that the Federal Government will be investing in repairing and restoring the Cove Island Lighthouse so that its beacon can continue to mark safe passage for mariners between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.”

The first yacht of the season came into Tobermory Harbour on May 5, emerging from the fog on Georgian Bay and threading its way among the ice floes.

Chi-Cheemaun Settles Back Into Summer Home

Ferndale, Lion’s Head & District Lioness Club. It was a beautiful spring day and seven members turned out to pick up garbage along Highway 6 between Everatt Sideroad and Cherry Hill Road so that our highway is clean for when tourists arrive.

Organizer Lindsay deMalmanche says there seemed to be less garbage this year, which is good news, although there were the same amount of beer cans and bottles, which is not so good.

Getting ready to tackle the job are (left to right) Lioness President Bonnie Warder and Lionesses Donna Rocca, Jackie Souter Carol Phillips and Dannah Oliver. Missing from the picture are Cathy McLay, Bev Miller and Lindsay deMalmanche.

Lioness members will attack this stretch of highway again in the fall to help keep our community clear of litter.

When John Grant of the Nature Conservancy of Canada appeared before Council on April 27 he was asked some fairly pointed questions about NCC’s activities.

Councillor Rob Rouse noted that NCC pays no taxes whatsoever on the land they conserve. “There’s too much of that,” he often says. He asked how much tax revenue was lost by our municipality as a result of the NCC owned properties.

The phrase “25 or 30 percent of the land isn’t paying any taxes” was spoken at one point; I didn’t write down who said it.

Councillor Tom Boyle made the point that a lot of the land that is bought by conservation trusts is already zoned as conservation land so that those properties are already exempt from municipal taxes. This is entirely true of

I Don’t Mind Paying 25% Extra on My Taxes To Keep Our Wildernessthe Krug properties which NCC recently acquired.

Mayor McIver asked Grant if any of the properties NCC currently owns will be transferred to other agencies. This is not a trivial question — any land that is transferred to a provincial or federal reserve would start to generate revenues in the form of PILT.

The PILT system — Payments in Lieu of Taxes — is the way the senior governments compensate municipalities for large tracts of provincial or federal land that are exempt from municipal taxes. It’s a good system, because it offsets the municipality’s costs for providing basic services (roads, parking lots, garbage removal, emergency services etc) to those properties.

John Grant stated that NCC has no plans to hand off any of their properties to other agencies. What he didn’t say was that the Krug property (between Hwy 6

and Johnson’s Harbour in the former St Edmunds Township) can’t be handed to Parks Canada because it is not part of the National Park Study Area. It was left out of the National Park Study Area because of pressure from local hunters.

Personally I applaud the work of the NCC and other conservation agencies. I am delighted to live in an area where vast tracts of wilderness will remain wilderness. I don’t mind that landowners get a tax break for wilderness and wetlands.

I love living in an area where orchids, ferns, salamanders, snakes and warblers abound. The NCC defines Bruce Peninsula habitats as “largely intact for the species that rely on them.”

St Edmunds Property Owners and others point out that nearly all of our municipal taxes are paid by homeowners and cottagers. Forests, wetlands, conservation lands — even farms — pay only a tiny proportion of our municipal tax base.

If the owners of wilderness properties are getting a tax break, that’s fine with me. The only way those wilderness properties would generate tax revenues is if they were developed. The Bruce Peninsula would look like a sort of Bramalea-with-rock-outcrops.

I applaud the Mayor and Council for trying to find ways for wilderness land to generate funds but I want them to know how much I value wilderness. If it means I’m paying a 25% premium on my property taxes to help keep NBP a wilderness, I really don’t mind. The cranes, eagles, turkeys and herons are worth it. And as Mayor Milt is fond of saying, we have the lowest tax rate in Bruce County.

If you agree with me that wilderness is more important than mill rates, you might communicate that to the Mayor and Council. It’s not a point of view they hear very often.

By John FrancisMNBP Council’s April 27, 2015

meeting began with three delegations.Up first was John Grant of Nature

Conservancy Canada, appearing at Council’s request.

Grant began by explaining that NCC is Canada’s largest environmental charity, dedicated to conservation and stewardship of Canada’s ecosystems.

NCC’s approach is “science-based”. It has identified Northern Bruce Peninsula as its highest priority in the Great Lakes Basin because NBP’s habitats are “largely intact, for the species that rely on them”. In fact, Grant continued, “...we have been quite busy the last couple of years” on the northern Bruce Peninsula, “...quite focused on those areas we would like to see protected.”

Grant stressed that NCC does more than simply buy land to conserve it — stewardship is also important. He cited a local example near the intersection of Hwy 6 and Dyers Bay Road, where a work crew of NCC volunteers put up cedar rail fencing that kept motorcycles and ATVs out of a fragile alvar habitat.

NCC’s funding, Grant said, comes from a variety of sources: “...a lot from the federal government over the years,” plus the provinces and corporations. In addition, “...contribution from individuals is significant,” especially for Northern Bruce Peninsula.

Councillor Rob Rouse asked how much land NCC owns in our municipality and how much tax revenue is lost as a result. Grant replied that NCC owns 3,700 acres in NBP, including the recent addition of the Krug property near Johnson’s Harbour. The acquisition of the Krug property will make no difference to MNBP revenues because the property was already tax exempt as conservation land.

Mayor Milt McIver asked if any of the land would be handed off to other agencies as has been done in past. Grant replied that this would not happen; NCC would keep the Krug property and has no further plans to transfer additional lands.

The subtext here is that if lands are transferred to either a provincial or a federal agency then those properties will generate Payments in Lieu of Taxes — PILT — whereas if the lands are zoned conservation and remain in private or conservancy hands, then they are entirely exempt from municipal taxes.

Deputy Mayor Patricia Greig asked about NCC’s future plans. Grant replied that NCC could share some of their intentions with Council.

The second delegation was Chris Wilson on behalf of Lake Huron Learning, a provincial program which offers “a collaborative approach to learning”. The program’s mission is “To provide learning opportunities for professional development and personal advancement”.

Wilson appeared on behalf of vpi inc, a private company which delivers many provincial and federal programs out of their office in Walkerton, including some job training programs.

Her Powerpoint presentation to council appears as pages 25-36 on the agenda (www.northbrucepeninsula.ca;

MNBP April 27, 2015 Council Meeting Recap: Nature Conservancy, Lake Huron Learning, Bruce County Museumdrop the council tab and select Agendas, then April 27.)

Wilson explained that vpi personnel were able to meet with clients in Wiarton or Ferndale in some circumstances.

Councillor Griff Salen asked if these programs offered financial help to people wanting to start their own businesses. Wilson replied that her agency has no direct capital money but can network with Bruce Community Futures Development Corporation.

For more information on Lake Huron Learning visit www.vpi-inc.com or www.211ontario.ca

The third delegation was Cathy McGirr on behalf of Bruce County Museum, delivering a Strategic Plan Update. (Her Powerpoint appears as pages 37-56 in the agenda.)

McGirr explained the strengths and challenges of the County Museum facility in Southampton. The museum is, she noted, “landlocked — we don’t have room to put in a large pioneer display...” Space limitations also hamper the museum’s ability to host collections of documents and other historic memorabilia.

Councillor Boyle offered a formal thank you for the county museum’s generous help and cooperation in the revitalization of the Peninsula and St Edmunds Museum and Jacob’s Cabin.

Deputy Mayor Patr ic ia Greig wondered about museum memberships and reciprocal membership privileges with other counties. McGirr said that this is a worthwhile initiative but the network is not very extensive yet. “We need to have conversations” with other museums.

Deputy Mayor Greig also asked if the museum had any plans around Canada’s 150th anniversary. McGirr replied that 2017 is also Bruce County’s 150th anniversary. She expects that federal funding for the celebration may be spread thinly.

A snippet from her presentation:

Strategy #8 – Actively seek out a post-secondary campus for Bruce County. Attention National Park Advisory Committee and the Sources of Knowledge Forum: the museum’s phone number is 519-797-2080.

The first item on the agenda of the meeting proper was the disposition by auction of a number of pieces of surplus equipment.

Councillor Rouse wondered if one of those pieces, a “Trackless” could be used for snow removal in Tobermory.

That was the plan, said Public Works Manager Bill Rydall, but Council decided to put it out to tender instead. Mayor McIver mentioned that there had been public pressure to contract out services rather than hire people.

A question hung in the air but went unasked: “Should we hang on to the Trackless and revisit the issue?”

The Municipal Bylaw Enforcement Officer’s Report generated a surprisingly lively discussion.

The main topic was congestion due to parking at and near the intersection of Moore and McCurdy Streets in Lion’s Head.

Bylaw Enforcement Officer Carol Hopkins noted that the turnaround just past the hospital can get too crowded for a fire truck to get by.

Mayor McIver noted that the McCurdy Street parking area just isn’t big enough. Councillor Rouse asked if the parking lot could be enlarged.

Councillor Boyle stated that this is a provincial natural area and there is no appetite for a larger parking area without a plan. He explained that the parking area

is managed by the Peninsula Bruce Trail Club but that the parking lot is heavily used by rock climbing folk. “Illegal rock climbing folk,” interjected CAO Bill Jones. Councillor Boyle noted that there were problems with adapting the site for more parking. The province will want to keep use down because they haven’t got the staff to regulate use.

MNPB has lots of Provincial Nature Reserves, Boyle continued. They use our roads and we provide emergency services.

Further discussion focussed on the need to get the Bruce Trail Club to attend a Council Meeting. Councillor Rouse suggested that Provincial Parks be asked to attend that same meeting.

Councillor Boyle noted that we need a management plan, not just more parking. “We could put a nice little parking lot at the end of the cul-de-sac but it’s blocked.”

Deputy Mayor Greig pointed out that there used to be parking maps. Could we do those again?

“Do we just go ahead and make [both sides of the road] no parking?” asked Mayor McIver. “Were there a lot of complaints?”

“Some”, replied Bylaw Officer Hopkins, mainly from residents. When there are vehicles parked on both sides of the road, people can’t get through.

Isn’t parking legal on one side of the road only? asked Mayor McIver. Which would mean that half of those people were illegally parked?

“Yes,” agreed Bylaw Officer Hopkins.“We don’t have anyplace to put these

people,” replied Mayor McIver.Continued on next page

TOBERMORY COMMUNITY CENTRE

ANNUAL SPRING MEETING

Councillor Salen agreed: “I struggle with taking away parking and not providing an alternative.”

CAO Jones framed the question differently: is this our responsibility? These people are visiting provincial assets.

“Can we push this down the road to a meeting with the Bruce Trail and the Province?” wondered Councillor Rouse.

“Absolutely,” chimed Mayor McIver and CAO Jones.

Public Works Manager Rydall offered some background on the issue. A proposal to widen Moore Street some years ago was defeated when it was opposed by a large delegation of residents.

But, he continued, a resident offered the use of a lot for parking. The local cottage association was unable to help because their constitution required unanimity for this sort of decision and

Continued from previous page this was unlikely to be possible.Councillor Boyle repeated that NBP

needs a comprehensive management plan for the area. “We need a public process.”

Deputy Mayor Greig had the last comment: “Let’s get everybody interested at the table.”

Bush Country Signage was discussed again.

Councillor Rouse introduced the subject, stating that MTO has always considered NBP to be bush country. MNBP’s objection to the ruling has the potential to cause problems for all signage less than 23 metres from the road. “This potentially affects a lot of business owners and not in a good way,” he finished.

Mayor McIver suggested MNBP simply ask for an exception from recent changes.

Councillor Boyle was less concerned. “We just need to clarify that we were addressing signage in the corridor itself,”

he said. We don’t need to retract, just clarify. “I think they are just jerking us around.” Don’t forget that “they directed us on how to write the motion...”

CAO Jones noted that MTO staff have asked for time to evaluate this.

Just before adjournment, Ivan Smith asked to address Council on behalf of the Tobermory Skate Park proposal.

“José and Amanda just picked up the ball and ran with it,” he began. “But as the project evolved we gained more knowledge.” Last fall’s proposal was for a modular system of ramps installed on a concrete pad. But, Smith continued, the group has discovered that concrete is superior in every respect except one: you can’t remove it to use the concrete pad for other purposes.

Everything else tips in favour of concrete, he said. It would be usable by many groups— skateboards, scooters, roller skates, BMX and so forth. The Chamber of Commerce — our partners in

this initiative — agrees.A firm which has built a number

of larger facilities has expressed interest in building the Tobermory facility, basically as a showpiece for other smaller communities to look at. We have checked the references of this proponent, Smith noted, and they are very good.

We are looking to go forward, he said. All we need is Council’s agreement to go with the concrete proposal.

Councillor Rouse noted that there is room for a pavilion (“or whatever”) between the skate park and the dog park.

CAO Jones noted that Council and Staff need to understand that this changes the multi-use facet of the facility.

Council voted to accept the concrete skate park proposal.

Ivan Smith noted that the successful Trillium grant proposal was written by Noreen Steinacher and that she deserves a vote of thanks.

In the Individual Carpentry competition, there were 22 teams competing representing school boards all over Ontario. The students are not given notice of what they are to build until the day of competition. This year’s projects were a wishing well with a gable rooftop along with the layout and cutting of a stair stringer according to specs, that was to be completed within a 6 hour time limit under the watchful eyes

of judges from the industry and several colleges. With the drawing provided, the students are to build the project according to the drawing specifications. Along with the completed project; workplace safety, problem solving, power tool use and safety, worksite management as well as a theory test are part of their overall mark. The students were also put through a job interview by a professional HR company.

Secondary and post-secondary school students compete in trades in the Construction, Technology, Industrial,

Motive Power and Serv ice sectors . C o n s t r u c t i o n trades featured at the compet i t ion inc luded : b r i ck masonry, cabinet making, carpentry, electrical wiring, p l u m b i n g , a n d l a n d s c a p e gardening.

More emphasis is being placed on the skilled trades as the Canadian economy recovers and there is a looming shortage in the skilled trades and t e chno l ogy s e c t o r s . T h e Construction Sector Council predicts the need for 300,000 new construction workers before the year 2020.

Brian Furgal is the Construction Technology teacher at Bruce Peninsula Distr ic t School . Mr . Furga l has

been teaching Construction for 25 years and over the years he has had many students participate in these competitions. Many of them have gone on and been very successful in their chosen careers complimenting these skills competitions as part of a great start for them.

“Construction skil ls are an important tool whether you decide to go into the industry or choose another. Although the thrill of a competition doesn’t appeal to everyone, the thrill of learning new skills certainly does.”

Brett has now qualified for the National Skills Competition held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on May 25-30. Brett will not only be representing BPDS and the Bluewater District School Board, he is a member of Team Ontario.

If you are interested in making a donation for the next competition, please contact Brian Furgal at Bruce Peninsula District School 519-793-3211.

We would like to thank the following people for their donations; Allan Hastings Construction, Laura Hastings and Mike Laing, Miller

Lake TimberMart and Don Dimaline Carpentry.

These competitions provides valuable experience for any student wanting to enter a trade, and for BPDS, it’s “another chance to display their skills” as far as student accomplishments go.

Congratulations Brett and good luck at the National Competition!

Spring is finally here, or are we going straight into summer? At this time of year, all manner of tourism operations begin again! For BPTA that means the printing and distribution of our 2015 Beautiful Bruce Peninsula Guidebook. The Guidebooks will be ready for pickup at the Ferndale Information Centre and our depot at the Wiarton Home Building Centre on the south side of Wiarton. We have also started distributing them locally to our member businesses and will be continuing to do so over the next month or so. If you wish to pick some up for your business, please let us know and we’ll make sure they’re delivered to your nearest depot!

The official launch for the 2015 Guidebook took place at our AGM on

Bruce Peninsula Tourist Association Launch 2015 GuidebookThursday, April 30th at Dockside Willies in Wiarton. This year we had a great turnout and a fabulous dinner provided by the owners, Tanja and Greg Norton, and their amazing staff.

This year we had Scott Parent from Fathom Paddle Guiding as the keynote speaker for our AGM. Scott Parent and Zane Davies from Explorers Tread attempted a feat never before completed; a three day transverse across frozen Georgian Bay, from Cape Croker to 12 Mile Bay during March of 2015. The experience and photos from the epic adventure were shared to a captivated audience. What a great accomplishment for both, who are experts in their field.

In addition, Jeff Corner, BPTA past Chair and board member, spoke to the group about a new concept in golf, known as Foot Golf, that has been

sweeping Europe over the last few years. It sounds like a lot of family fun! Jeff owns Cornerstone Golf course in Tobermory,

BPTA welcomes back returning Board members: Catrina Dodge as Chair, Bev Miller as Treasurer, Kathi Anderson as Vice-Chair, Barb Grison as interim Secretary and Anne Weir as past Chair. In addition, Jeff Corner, Mike Marcotte and Zane Davies remain as board Directors. And, we say a regretful farewell to departing Secretary Shirley Teasdale and Lawrence Stewart as Director. Currently, there are open positions on the Board, including Secretary, so if you are interested in learning more about the roles and responsibilities of BPTA Board members or becoming more involved, please contact us at [email protected].

Our thanks again to those who help put the AGM together, as well as those who

attend – it’s always good to reconnect with our members, neighbours and newcomers over beverages and goodies! We welcomed new BPTA member Red Bay Lodge that is in the process of renovating and will be re-opening this season.

The BPTA will again be operating the Ferndale Info Centre, on behalf of the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula, during the 2015 season. All businesses are welcome to drop off new brochures and say hello to the staff and volunteers. The Information Centre will be opening for the May long weekend on Friday, May 15, 2015.

The BPTA is also organizing the Annual Yard Sale Trail on Saturday June 20, 2015. So watch for ads in the Bruce Peninsula Press soon! To register, drop by the Information Centre in Ferndale, call 519-793-4734 or email to [email protected]

The Players find themselves at Lost Loon Lodge seeking the whereabouts of Sasquatch a creature of mythical desires! Lenora Clark and Cathy Irving play two city slicker sisters Carrie and Mary who inherit the lodge, an inn infested with numerous creepy and crawly wild life removed daily by their handyman Pete. The hi-jinks abound as strange guests arrive

on their quest for Sasquatch including a witless Congressman who is determined to transform the wilderness into a ridiculous theme park covered in vinyl siding, sprinklers, and imported wildlife not indigenous to the area!

Our shows will be on the Father’s Day Weekend, June 19th, 20th and 21st at the historic Rotary Hall in beautiful downtown Lion’s Head. Hurry and get your tickets at Josie’s in Wiarton and Peninsula Pharmacy in Lion’s Head. They go fast!

from Bruce Peninsula District School is studying how human activity impacts physical Geography. They have asked the big question “can ONE make a difference?” One person, one geological event, one invention, one municipality and so on.

The class visited four sites on the Peninsula, including the local wind mills, Eastnor Waste Disposal Site, a water regulation system and solar water cattle system, to witness ground breaking technology and systems that are improving our water ways, our energy systems and our waste management.

Submitted by Bill Caulfeild-BrowneApril was almost a normal month –

a little cooler than usual, but not as far from usual as the first quarter of the year. The mean temperature was 3C, just 0.7C below expectations. Perhaps the extremely cool trend we’ve had this winter is coming to an end.

The coldest day was the 5th when the mercury slipped down to -7.2C. The warmest day – the warmest for the year so far – was the 13th at 15.4C, though it was distinctly hotter back from the lake.

After a dryer-than-usual first quarter, precipitation picked up and we got 77 mm of rain against a long-term mean of 61 mm. But as so often has been the case in recent years, most of it fell on just three days; 34 mm over the 9th/10th and 23

Orchidfest Committee Orchid Festival 2015 wants you to

know that spring is in the air and on the ground! Proof was found on today’s walk in the woods, encountering many Trout- Lily and Coltsfoot! There are many more native wild flowers and orchids to come so register now! This year’s dates are June 5th-7th.

The Schedule of Events offers plenty of opportunity to get outside and enjoy the beauty surrounding us on all sides. Trips to Flowerpot Island, Car Caravans to prime locations and Photography Workshops

Orchid Festival June 5-7: Spring Is Beginning To Bloomand Walks will be enjoyed by many.

For the photography enthusiasts, we are very happy to announce that Kerry Jarvis has agreed to conduct the morning workshop. Kerry is an educator, photographer, author, presenter, gardener and traveller, coming to us fresh off The Huron Fringe Birding Festival. Come out and pick up some tips and techniques! The afternoon photography group will be led by our very own Bill Caulfeild-Browne. Not only does Bill keep us apprised of the weather trends and changes here on the Bruce Peninsula, he is an inspirational nature photographer. Take part in his “nature friendly” approach to photography, techniques that minimize impact.

The Saturday evening presentation will be preceded by a Wine and Cheese reception. Spencer Barrett, our Keynote speaker comes to us from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Toronto, where he is a Professor and Canada Research Chair – Evolutionary Genetics Tier 1. He holds many National and International Honours and Awards. His talk entitled “Plant Sex in the Wild” is sure to be lively and entertaining as he convinces us that plant sex in the wild is alive and well, not only on the Bruce Peninsula, but sharing examples from exotic locales such as South Africa, China and Brazil! This will be a “must attend” presentation!

An added feature this year will be an optional Sunday activity. We are partnering with Earthbound Gardens to promote the idea of leaving the wild in the wild and their “Don’t Dig It” promotion. All Orchid Festival registrants will be given a pass to go to visit Earthbound Gardens on Sunday for a free, guided tour of their gardens. They are committed to conservation and sustainability in gardening. Please pay them a visit on your way home from a fantastic weekend of orchid and wildflower fun!

The Orchid Festival is hosted by the Friends of the Bruce District Parks Association and the National Parks Visitor Centre is the festival headquarters. Visit our website at www.orchidfest.ca to register. Space is limited and filling up fast!

mm on the 20th. There were 22 days with no precipitation at all.

The nicest thing about the month was the sunshine. We had only 7 cloudy or partly cloudy days; the rest, particularly in the latter half of the month, were gloriously sunny from dawn to dusk. This is one of the benefits of the cool northern high-pressure area that dominated our weather.

On the other hand that same high pressure resulted in persistent north or north-westerly winds that kept the ice fast all around the tip of the Bruce. Around the middle of the month there were southerly winds, which pushed the ice clear and the bay was apparently ice-free. Alas, it had only migrated to the north and east and when the winds shifted on the 23rd, all the ice moved back in again. On May

1st there was practically no open water visible from Big Tub Harbour although you could see that much of Georgian Bay was open if you climbed the tower in the National Park.

Indeed, in all the years I have lived here full-time, I have never seen ice clogging the whole area as far out as Echo Island in May. Late April, yes – but it’s always been gone by May. This is a testament to the extreme cold in February that resulted in much thicker and more extensive ice than is normal.

But every cloud has a silver lining. The almost 100% ice cover prevented any evaporation. The lake level is now above chart datum and well above the long-term mean. It’s hard to believe that January 2013 set a record low level and that just two and a half years later we’re flirting with high levels.

The forecast for May 3rd is for strong southerly winds – highly desirable given that Crane Day is the 4th and the Chi-Cheemaun hopes to start her schedule on the 5th! Lets hope they blow all the ice away so it can melt someplace else!

Book Review:A Discovery of Witches by Deborah

Harkness (All Soul Trilogy Book One): It all begins with a lost manuscript, a reluctant witch and 1,500-year-old vampire. Dr. Diana Bishop has a really good reason for refusing to do magic: she is a direct descendant of the first woman executed in the Salem Witch Trials and her parents cautioned her to be discreet about her talents before they were murdered, presumably for having “too much power.” So it is purely by accident that Diana unlocks an enchanted long-lost manuscript (a book that all manner of supernatural creatures believe to hold the story of all origins and the secret of immortality) at the Bodleian Library at Oxford and finds herself in a race to prevent an interspecies war.

breath of spring on April 16, when the

April WIN Luncheon: Creating A Garden In Harmony With Nature

Photo: April’s guest speaker, Alain Charest, shared his vast knowledge of the perennial plants, shrubs and trees that are best adapted to the microclimate of the Northern Bruce Peninsula.

Women’s Information Network invited Alain Charest to speak at our final luncheon before the summer break. With photos and discussion, Alain introduced

us to “Roche Fleurie” (translated “Rocks in Bloom”), the stone house and garden in Tobermory that he and his partner L o r n e h a n d c r a f t e d stone by stone from its inception in 1992 until they moved permanently to the completed home in 2007. Retired on their 35-acre property, they then began construction of the raised garden beds, pathways and stone walls that surround the gardens and trellises near the house, using up almost all of the stones readily available on the property, as well as stones from a neighbour’s property (with their permission).

As with any garden, Roche Fleurie is ever-evolving.

Alain says: “I have never worked in horticulture, but was a Master Gardener for over 15 years and when I started gardening, I took a few courses at Guelph University. I used to write articles for gardening magazines in the U.S. and Canada and our old city garden was featured on 2 television programs”.

Alain shared with us his vast knowledge of perennial plants, shrubs and trees that are best adapted to the microclimate of the Northern Bruce Peninsula: the harsh winds and deep snow cover of winter, the bog of spring melt, the drought of summer; and to the limestone and the thin soil that covers it. Amazingly, some of the most unlikely plants flourish in these widely diverse conditions! Much more detailed anecdotal gardening information can be found online

at Alain’s blog “Roche Fleurie Garden: Diary of a Frugal Gardener” at www.rochefleuriegarden.blogspot.ca.

After a long winter of comfort foods, we enjoyed a tasty spring lunch catered by Rebecca Mills of Delicious Dishes. With gratitude we thanked Rebecca for her catering services over the past 3 years and we wish her well in her retirement.

We are pleased to report that WIN luncheons in future will be catered by Sean and Judy Hurst of Ancient Cedars, beginning with our next luncheon on Thursday, September 17 at the Tobermory Community Centre. For information about luncheons and other WIN news, visit our Facebook page: Women’s Information Network, Tobermory at www.facebook.com/win.tobermory.ontario or our website http://suegeoffdawson.wix.com/wintobermory.

DELEGATION

1. Jakob Van Dorp, Bruce County Planner

Re: Development Permit Systems Background

Mr. Jakob Van Dorp reviewed a power point presentation relating to Development Permit Systems (DPS).

He gave the background and legislative authority. He explained there is a three stage process to establishing a DPS. He explained what is required in the Official Plan if the Municipality has a DPS and how it works. He explained some of the challenges that can happen if the Municipality has a DPS.

The Chief Administrative Officer noted that he had seen DPS in use before and that there is a downside with reduced public consultation and perception of transparency.

Mayor McIver thanked Mr. Van Dorp for attending today’s meeting.

Submitted by Terri MunnSo much has been happening with Simply

Living Simply Challenges (www.slschallenge.org) this spring.

March’s “Get Energized” month had citizens and students taking energy challenges to make a difference. Grade 4/5s made musical raps and posters to teach others about using power bars to reduce

phantom energy, about replacing incandescent light bulbs and using human power over mechanized for personal fitness and fun. The students put on a great presentation at the Transition Community’s annual seed exchange.

April ’s “Get Trees” challenged us to become more conscious of our paper use, the dilemma of the shrinking global forests and the need to plant trees. The Grade 1/2 class organized a Free Tree giveaway. Saplings of local trees were distributed at Celebrate Success BPDS. GOOS paper (Good On One Side) bins have been located in every classroom at Bruce Peninsula District School. The class hosted an informative UNESCO assembly to share what they have learned about trees and climate change.

May’s “Get Cultured” theme gives everyone a chance to become more know ledgeab l e about permaculture, pollinators and pesticides. It’s the time

of year to think about gardening and preserving our milkweed plants and rich pollinator landscapes while work along with other international communities to limit our use of pesticides.

Did you know?• With more than 700 native species in Canada, bees are the most common pollinator.• The Ontario government, along with the governments in Europe, are cutting Neonicotinoid use by 80%. Encourage other districts to do so! • The number 350 means climate safety: to preserve a livable planet, scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 400 parts per million to below 350 ppm.• Under a law passed in France, new buildings in commercial zones must partially cover their roofs with solar power or plants. • Denmark has lofty goals: By 2020, the country aims to produce 70 percent of its energy from renewable sources and to make the switch to renewables completely by mid-century.

Simply Living Simply: May Challenge - “Get Cultured”

Photo: Sasha demonstrates his model to explain “Get Energized” themes and to rethink our energy system. He recognizes the need to move away from fossil fuels and develop more renewable energy options to work on climate change issues.

Photo: Grade 1/2 students from BPDS shared facts on why trees are so important to our environment. They have welcomed guest speakers, watched documentaries and organized a tree giveaway as part of “Grow Trees” month.

Doug Smith Sets Personal Fundraising Goal

For An Epic Cycling Event Doug Smith of Tobermory is gearing

up for the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. The Ride brings together communities of riders, survivors and their supporters for one common goal: to conquer cancer in this lifetime. Riders will travel between Toronto and Niagara over two-days, June 13-14, 2015. Funds raised from this epic event will support Personalized Cancer Medicine, including research, treatment advances and care at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

With 45% of Canadian men and 41% of Canadian women developing cancer in their lifetime, Doug rightly viewed The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer

as a call to action and has set a goal of raising $4000 for the 2015 event. Every rider must raise a minimum of $2,500 in order to participate and for The Ride to continue making crucial impacts for cancer research and care at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

Doug is a retired paramedic who has dealt with cancer patients through his career and then in 2013 was himself a cancer patient. He has seen and personally experienced the effect Cancer has on patients and their families and by helping to raise money hopes to have an impact that will help in the goal to conquer cancer in this lifetime.

This is the eighth annual Ride to Conquer Cancer in Ontario and the second time that Doug has participated. To date, the event has helped raise over $119 million for Princes Margaret Cancer Centre.

To help Doug reach his goal of $4000, visit www.conquercancer.ca or call 877.699.BIKE. Simply enter Doug Smith or participant number 594078-5 and make your contribution to this important cause.

Sandy Walsh Excited For Challenge And The Opportunity To Make Difference

I’ll be participating in a 2-day major cycling event called The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, one of the top 5 cancer research hospitals in the world.

Over Father’s Day weekend (June 13-14), myself, along with thousands of other riders, will cycle over 200 km from Toronto to Niagara Falls to support cancer research, treatment and services.

T h e P r i n c e s s M a r g a r e t Cancer Centre is Canada’s leading comprehensive i n s t i t u t i o n d e v o t e d t o cancer research a n d c a r e , and the work they’re doing is leading-edge.

I started training last summer and have continued t r a i n i n g o n my bike in my recroom when the wea ther didn’t allow outdoor riding. I am excited about the challenge and the opportunity to make a difference.

If you wish to make a donation visit www.conquercancer.ca and search my name or Team SHALGO.

Research at the National Cancer Institute of Canada show 171,000 estimated new cases of cancer in Canada this year and 75,300 estimated deaths from cancer in Canada this year. That’s why I’m riding. To do something BIG about cancer. I hope that you’ll share this incredible adventure with me by supporting me in my fundraising efforts.

Thank you in advance for your generosity!

Local Residents Participate In Fundraising Rides For Cancer ResearchBrittany Tackaberry Dedicates

Her 5th Ride to Ruth, Joey and Grandma Kate

As a fifth time participant in the Ride to Conquer Cancer, I am very excited to get back on my bike and start the journey for another year. This year I will once again be completing a 200 km ride from Toronto to Niagara, as part of the four person team SHALGO.

This year I will be dedicating my ride to Ruth Hellyer, Joey Hofstrand, and my Grandma Kate.

Ruth lost her courageous battle with cancer back in August 2011. She was a woman who inspired many with her strength, determination and ever positive attitude towards life; a true role model to myself and many others in the community.

Joey Hofstrand was a Grandma to two of my closest younger cousins. Joey was receiving treatment and care at Princess Margaret last year at the same time that I was participating in the cycling event. She experienced first hand the reality of what we ride for. Joey will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

My Grandma Kate is another very strong woman who has just recently been impacted by cancer. She is the head of our family and a great role model to us all. She took on her diagnoses and was able to conquer it. Without a doubt she is one of the strongest women I know, and I am lucky to call her my grandma.

Funds raised in The R ide t o Conquer Cancer s u p p o r t T h e Princess Margaret. If you are interested in making a donation to the ride, you can do so online by searching my name or SHALGO at h t tp ://www.conquercancer.ca/

Tracey Watson Committed To Doing Her Part In Finding A Cure For

Cancer In Our LifetimeI SHALGO…We lace up our shoes,

wipe the sleep from our eyes and we are on our way. Long stretch of highway ahead. That’s how we begin our day in the Ride to Conquer Cancer. We are lucky we are riders, we ride amongst friends with the same goal, we are committed to doing our part in finding a cure for cancer in our lifetime.

This will be my 5th ride. I have ridden for my Uncle Carl and my Dad and always will. Cancer has touched my family in so many ways, my Aunt Karen and Cousin Mary with Breast Cancer, my Aunt Beth and Aunt Mary and teammate Doug with Colon Cancer. Not to mention my longtime favorite friend and teammate Trish with Hodgkins Disease. This year however Team SHALGO has special family in our hearts….

Sarah Klages. Sarah will be in our hearts as we ride this year. Her battle is intense,

her spirit is strong. She i s n e v e r w a v e r i n g in her fight one day at a time to have one more d a y a n d one more s n u g g l e with that g o r g e o u s b a b y T h o m a s . W e h a v e

Sweet Sarah in our hearts every day and

pray that someday there will be a cure and stories like hers will be a distant memory.

Each pedal stroke we take in our more than 200km we do for every person we know, every tear we have shed and every life that has been lost because there is no cure. I am happy to say that Team SHALGO has raised more than $100,000 over the last 6 years. I am proud to have ridden with so many different people from all walks of life, young and old, patients and survivors and my friends. In the words of my cousin Sam I SHALGO, I will ride on with sweet memories of my Dad in my heart and I SHALGO. The Ride to Conquer Cancer raises tens of millions of dollars every year with thousands of riders. We will find a cure for cancer in our lifetime. Please give what you’re able.

Since February, we, the grade 7/8 class at B.P.D.S., have been participating in the Canadian Geographic Energy Diet Challenge to earn points so we can be eligible to win prizes for the competition, which ended on April 28. In order to get the prizes, we had to complete challenges as a class.

A few of the challenges we have completed are:

• “One Hour No Power” when the lights and electronics are turned off for one hour. Every hour is one point.

• “Sign Up or Sign Out” is a pledge challenge to get the community to be more resource-efficient. For every person that signs up we get a point.

Museum is scheduled to open for the season on May 16th. Hours of operation will remain unchanged: 11 am to 4 pm, daily in July and August and weekends from Victoria Day until Thanksgiving. Volunteers are working over the next couple of weeks getting ready for a new season.

The daily operation of the museum is the responsibility of a Committee of Council. Members of the committee include Ruth Bainbridge, Judy Caulfeild-Browne, Rob Davis, Cele Eadie, Shirley Johnstone, John Oosterhuis and Tom Boyle.

Last fall we hosted a public information session and received tremendous support. We came away with terrific ideas to help plan and improve our museum to enhance the experience for our visitors. Our goal over the next four years is to make these

The St Edmunds Bruce Peninsula Museum Opens For The Season On May 16: Calling All Volunteers

Photo: Local resident Lloyd Adams speaks at the 2014 re-opening of Jacob’s Cabin. Lloyd was one of many children who grew up in the cabin and spoke fondly of the memories he made there. If you haven’t been to the museum yet be sure to check it out - learn what life was like in the early days on the Bruce.

• For “Tips, Tricks and Announcements” we made a display board and pasted on

tips to save energy.

• “The School Energy Project” challenges us to design an energy efficient school.

• For “The Windy City” we built an anemometer.

Our class was selected as the prize winner for the 75 point prize, winning $500 for the classroom!

Our earth needs our help and with us as the next generation it is OUR duty to save the earth. If we don’t act fast, we will run out of time. We believe that ONE can make a difference, and we are starting with ourselves.

ideas work as best as possible.

In 2014, we had a number of planned events including the grand re-opening of Jacob’s Cabin as well as demonstrations by the local carving club, quilters and artists. We also had private tours for groups such as Bruce County Tourism, the Bruce Trail Association and municipal staff and council members. This spring the Sources of Knowledge Forum has made the museum one of the options on their itinerary. We are currently developing plans for other events for this year. Watch for announcements in the Bruce Peninsula Press and on Facebook.

We are a small group however and are in need of volunteer help. We need interpreters who will greet visitors and share the stories that lie within the museum (we do provide training for this role). We need individuals who have computer or keyboard skills to update our records – training provided for this too. We also need people who are willing

to take on miscellaneous roles as needed. None of these tasks are onerous, but the reward is in giving back to our community and helping preserve our history.

If you would like to volunteer, please contact Ruth Bainbridge at 519-596-2129 or Rob Davis at 519-596-8766.

Thank you Bruce Peninsula for your incredible support during our Second Year!

A Fire Permit is required before starting a fire outdoors except when the fire is for cooking or obtaining warmth.

No person shall ignite and discharge fireworks of any class except without purchasing a Fire Permit. No person shall set off Family Fireworks except on Canada Day, Victoria Day Holiday, Civic Holiday, Labour Day, Independence Day (U.S.A), Chi-Cheemaun Festival weekend, or any special day established by Council, as well as the two (2) days immediately preceding and following these days.

Fire Permits may be obtained from the following locations:

Flying Lanterns Are Not PermittedFire Chief Wilf Barnes would like to inform residents and businesses that Flying Lanterns are not permitted within the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula. These products resemble a small paper hot-air balloon, fuelled by an open flame. When released, the hot air produced by the fuel source can lift the lantern to extreme heights and allows it to drift for long distances until the fuel is depleted. These lanterns are often released in large numbers to generate an impressive visual effect. Due to their uncontrolled and unpredictable flight path, these products could land on trees, building rooftops, or other combustible properties while still ignited and cause fires.

THE FIRE SEASON EXTENDS FROM APRIL 1ST TO OCTOBER 31ST EACH YEAR

Air & Auto Extravaganza Coming To Wiarton/Keppel Airport This Summer

Submitted by Doreen Hills, SecretaryThe Paraphernalia Sale, held annually on Thanksgiving Saturday, at the

Tobermory Community Centre, will once again be hosted by members of the Happy Harbour Club. This group consists of mainly retirees who are seeking social contact with others from many walks of life and communities.

President Don Burton welcomed members to the May 5th general meeting; humour was provided by Jeanine Lombardo.

Over the winter months three individual committees consisting of several members were formed to gather ideas and recommendations regarding the Paraphernalia sale, a Constitution and By-laws and our annual Christmas Party. Reports were given by Cele Eadie, Stan McClellan and Wayne Schmitz on their findings, followed by membership discussion.

Spring highway 6 cleanup took place on May 7th. Co-ordinated by Case Hoffer, twenty members voluntarily gathered garbage along the highway from the Emmett Lake Road.

Mike Marshall reported that eighteen people will be attending the play “The Mousetrap” at the Roxy in Owen Sound.

This is your invitation to come out and meet others living in this community. We meet from September to June at the Tobermory Community Centre on the first Tuesday of the month at 6 PM sharp, for a pot-luck dinner; third Tuesday of the month at 7 PM for a general meeting. Games are played both evenings, or if you are not a game-player, there are other non-players with whom you can socialize. Membership is a conservative $5/year per person. Don’t be shy about coming - guests are first in the pot-luck food line!

Happy Harbour Club Update May 2015

Submitted by Brad InglisFrom the church you can hear the

horn of the Chi-Cheemaun, so I guess you can say the season has officially begun. That same horn is also our call to all the Thrift Shop volunteers, potential volunteers and those wishing to make donations of clean, gently used items that will fill our shelves. For those of you who don’t know it, the thrift shop is sometimes referred to as the “Tobermory Mall” and you will find it on the west side of number six, before or after Little Tub Bakery depending on which way you are going. It is the little white church that was once the Settlement Church. Volunteers are needed for the annual spring cleaning on Tuesday, May 12th starting at 10 am and anyone wishing to make donations of items can drop them off between 10 and noon on Wednesday, May 13th. The Thrift Shop will officially open for business on Friday, May 15th from 1 to 4 (in time for the long weekend) and will be open Saturday and maybe even Monday if you are lucky!

The Thrift Shop is open Friday and Saturday in May and June and then six days a week during July and August from 1 to 4. We are only able to accept donations while we are open. If you would like to make a special arrangement to drop things off, please call the church and leave a message at 519-596-2394. We are unable to take appliances and large televisions. Clean, gently used clothing, linens, old jewelry, children’s toys, books and household items are all welcome. Proceeds from the Thrift Shop go towards the Community Outreach Fund, children’s

something to be valued and should always be considered as a protected asset for the community.” said Don Colter, President of COPA Flight #68.

This event will feature a variety of airplane exhibits, classic car displays and Vintage Motorcycles. Best in class prizes will be awarded in the Aircraft, Classic Car and Vintage Motorcycle categories. The day will also include a BBQ lunch with all proceeds donated to the South Bruce Peninsula Food Bank. Plus, live music, airport tours, an Aviation Museum and

an Aviation Theatre featuring interesting footage of vintage airplanes.

The town of Wiarton rests on the picturesque shores of Colpoys Bay, which is part of Georgian Bay. Geographically, Wiarton is defined by the rugged limestone cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment (a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve – one of only twelve such reserves in Canada), which intersects the town. The town is known as the gateway to the Bruce Peninsula, the peninsula separating Georgian Bay from the rest of Lake Huron.

The June 13th event will run from 10am – 4pm. A rain date is set for Sunday, June 14th. Drive in/Walk in entry fee is $4.00/per person and children under 12 years of age are admitted free. Admission for Car and Motorcycle exhibitors is $4.00/per person as well. FREE ADMISSION is extended to visitors flying in, and to pilots wishing to display their airplanes.

A must attend event! Visit www.flywiarton.com for more details.

programs at the Winter Carnival and our ministry in the community. We always welcome new volunteers to help sort items, serve customers and stock our shelves. The stock changes daily so it is always worth a visit to find new treasures for home or the cottage (…what about a new outfit for a night on the town?).

We would like to thank the many talented artists who shared their poetry, stories and musical gifts with us on Friday, April 24th at our annual concert. The amount of talent here on the peninsula is amazing. It was our privilege to gather these gifted, like minded people together under one roof. Next year we look forward to including visual artists as well so they can display some of their work for others to enjoy. For those interested in writing you may want to consider joining the Tobermory Muses who meet on the first Wednesday of the month from 1:30 to 3:30 pm at the church. For more information you can contact Ferelith Hoffmann-Taylor at 519-596-8359 or [email protected].

It seems that in church land we are always preaching the message of “love”, love one another, love the earth, love your community…love…love…love. What that ultimately means, is that we are all better when we are loved. And when we are loved, we can do more, work harder, give more generously of our time and resources and be kinder to each other. When we are loved, our outlook on the world is completely different. The church certainly doesn’t hold the patent on love. Love is found wherever we are. It is in the sound of the Chi-Cheemaun horn as it

calls everyone to action and announces the rhythm of the new season. It is in the air when artists come together to share their talents and creativity. You find it on the steps of the Thrift Shop as shoppers and volunteers gather to share their winter stories. You find it during this coveted season of employment, business

opportunities and dream vacations on the shores of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. Welcome to the season as the horn of love blows!

“We’re here for only one reason – YOU!” “We’re here for only one reason – YOU!” “We’re here for only one reason – YOU!”

Submitted by Paul KastnerFollowing the launch last June of

the successful half day Annual William Wilfred Campbell Poetry Festival, directors announced today that the 2nd Annual Festival will take place on Saturday, June 20, 2015 for a full day over two Wiarton sites: Wiarton Branch Library building and the Bluewater Park Pavilions.

“We ’ve l is tened to program suggestions by Bruce-Grey and local poets for more poetry to be heard.” said Festival Director, Paul Kastner. “Incorporated will be two half-hour sessions embracing improv and open mic opportunities for poets.” Jennifer McGuire, publisher of the Tin Roof Magazine, who is the overall

2nd Annual William Wilfred Campbell Poetry Festival June 20thfestival program MC, will moderate these to ensure they move quickly with humor.

The festival begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Wiarton Branch Library Meeting Room where a Poetry Adventure Workshop for 12 students will be conducted by Dawna Proudman of Barrie, a published author with 20 years experience as a workshop facilitator and co-founder of the highly successful Words Aloud Festival in Durham.

When the library opens at 10 a.m., branch librarian Kristina Porr and a creative specialist from branch headquarters will present a special poetry program for young readers. It is open to the public.

In another change, prize money for the three winners of a festival organized Bruce-Grey Poetry Contest has been upped from $200 to $500 each. New to the contest is a Bruce-Grey youth category for ages 11 to 17, with $200 prize money each for three winners.

Deadline for the entry of poems in the 2nd Annual William Wilfred Campbell Poetry Festival contest for Grey-Bruce poets has been extended from May 15 to May 29, 2015.

Festival director, Paul Kastner said perhaps the exceptionally cold and long winter has affected creative output, “but to be positive the odds of winning one of the three $500 poetry prizes have been greatly increased as a result.”

Plans are underway to begin the afternoon Pavilions program at noon with a municipal BBQ reception for all participants. Following the reception, keynote speaker, Dr, David Bentley, English professor from Western University in London, Ontario will start off the program. The award winning teacher will

discuss and evaluate Campbell’s poetry.

Among guest readers will be Linda Thorn, a Mar poet who rhymed the famous Beautiful Jo story and produced an illustrated version. Kastner said that as the year progresses more program details will be announced, including peninsula art and music contributions.

With the intent of establishing an opening program tradition, a bagpiper again will play.

The Campbells will be in attendance and a peninsula Grade 7 student will recite Indian Summer.

Instead of a half hour audience break there will be two 15 minute breaks. This will allow our visitors to inspect the Campbell Memorial Cairn which abuts the Pavilions and overlooks beautiful Colpoy’s Bay whose two-mile width challenged Campbell’s swimming abilities as a youth.

By June the hope is to have secured one or more poets of note to bring to the people of Bruce-Grey for their pleasure.

Submitted by Wanda Strosberg The decorating committee at the

Tobermory Health Facility are planning the exchange of art in the facility corridors. Those who have art hanging are asked to pick it up on May 15 between the hours of 9am and 4pm. We extend our thanks for allowing us to showcase these works of art during the past months.

Waste Management Equipment Operator - Level 1

Submitted by Joni Regan Over the last few years I have put

in a few gardenless gardens. But I don’t think I have mentioned it in this column before. These gardens have been very successful, as well as colourful. They are low maintenance, therefore great for summer homes or for those who do not have the time, or do not want to be bothered with a garden.

The first one was for an elderly gentleman, who couldn’t tend his extensive gardens that his late wife had put in many years before. Periwinkle had taken over the property, including all of the gardens. So I went about rescuing the few perennials left and potted them up in large pots (ones that small trees come in). I made sure that the pots were full of good soil and compost, then placed them around the Periwinkle, moving a few for bloom time, sun/shade, till I got them where they would all be happy. This is where my good clippers come in handy. I trim back the periwinkle, just enough to place each pot, pulled the

In The Garden - Hints From A Mrs. Gardener: Gardening Without A Gardenground-cover around the pots (just enough to hide them). And VOILA - instant garden! I popped an annual in the pots outside of his sun-room and kitchen windows so he would have colour all season long. He loved it and it did look nice. In one of his little garden areas, the ferns had taken over, so in went pots with a few of the salvaged Hostas. Each pot had just one Impatient plant. I wish I had taken photos of this area, it is still one of my favourite looks in a shady spot.

The next gardenless garden was just as easy and looked just as nice. This one was an almost full-sun area and, again, they wanted it pretty but not much work. I went about digging out rocks and in the holes left from the rocks, in went a plant. I scraped first with my cultivator and cut any other larger roots, then I filled the hole with shredded paper (newspaper sheets work just as well). Good quality soil, some compost, and mulch mixed in as well.

Lately, I have been liking one-half soil, one-quarter compost and one-quarter mulch mixture. I remember taking out a

fairly large rock and putting in a Shasta Daisy, Dark Purple Iris and a pretty Yellow Mum. The following summer, all were doing well, except the Hot Pink Tulip I put in that fall, the squirrels must have paid a visit. That area was so pretty with the perennials tucked in all over. Apparently, they never watered them and let Mother Nature do her thing. With this garden I also left some of the prettier rocks by the mini gardens, there sure were some beautiful ones. They

made a pretty back-drop for the perennials.I do have a corner on the north side

of my property that has some fairly good sized rocks. I would love to move the rocks and put plants in there. Hmmm... and I do know two tall, dark, handsome, strong, wonderful young men who just might work for food...

Happy Gardening! [email protected] 519-596-2389

BPH would like to thank all the volunteers and hike leaders, the local businesses that donated prizes and all the organizations that helped make the day possible. Special thank you to every hiker that participated and raised pledges – the support really makes a difference in the lives of many people in our community.

This past year, BPH volunteers shared their caring and compassion with over 70 individuals and families

Submitted by Eran WilliamsonOn Sunday, May 3rd I had the pleasure of hosting Tobermory’s first dance

recital. From the very beginning of this venture I was delighted with the interest in a dance program. Without any advertising I had twenty-three students sign up for the dance season running from September until early May.

The dancers worked incredibly hard this year and it was my pleasure to watch them grow as young artists and learn an amazing amount in one short dance season. The goal for them from the very beginning was to prepare for their recital; an opportunity to perform their art as all lively arts must do.

When it came time to make final preparations for recital I found myself uncomfortable asking parents at this time of year to pay for tickets to see their children dance. I also felt it very important for the sake of these young, excited new performers to have a large audience and I felt that

charging admission would greatly decrease the attendance of their recital.

I cannot express enough thanks to The Trading Post, The Princess Hotel, Blue Heron Co., Peacock’s Foodland, The Sweet Shop, Val’s Complete Cottage Care and Mobilewave for their generosity. It is heart-warming to see first hand the sense of family in our community and the appreciation for a local extra-curricular activity for our youth. Many people, strangers and friends alike, have spoken to me throughout the year about how glad they are to have a local activity for our children, but it was truly amazing to see these businesses come forward so quickly and willingly to sponsor this exciting day for my students.

Our community also came out in full-force to support these dancers in their first recital. We had over 120 audience members! I thank every one of them for coming to support these young artists.

Finally I want to congratulate my students on a beautiful performance. You danced with an ability far beyond that of most first year dancers and I could not be more proud of each and every one of you. Thank-you for your hard-work, dedication and open spirits that you brought to each class and most of all thank-you for letting me share my love of dance with you.
