Last Wednesday afternoon, a
group of four ladies from Bayfield,
and Clinton did a “streetscape”
tour of Turnberry Street, guided by
John Rutledge, Architect. John has
an excellent knowledge of Victorian
architecture as found in many of
the buildings known as “commer
cial blocks” located on our main
street. The group also enjoyed their
visit to Mitchell’s store and a stroll
along William Street, and interior
tours of several homes. The after
noon concluded with afternoon tea
at Sheila Richards’ home, and in
keeping with the Victorian theme,
the guests and Leona Armstrong

interesting buildings and lovely
homes.
The John/Thomas area has a
new resident which is causing some
concern to the bird population. It is
a screech owl so when you are out
walking in the vicinity, listen for a
sound similar to a cat’s meow
coming from the upper branches of
the large trees. You may be able to
spot him if you’re lucky. Turnbull’s
pond has at least one pair of
Canada geese with goslings, and
a blue heron which makes regular
visits. Purple finches will visit
feeders if sunflower seeds are
provided. The hummingbirds are
back and enjoying that old-fashion
ed garden plant bleeding heart
which is in bloom. A hummingbird
feeder will attract them almost as
soon as installed.

and removed $300 and took the

On July 26 he returned to the
house and found Mr. Willis lying
