The 1980 Blueshadows Pioneer Park receives Wintario grant to save area by Brig. G.L. Morgan Smith You will have noticed that the only sand beach in Bayfield south bf the river is from the Smith property and the Park to the south pier.This is due to a continuing program of constructing. groins to trap the sand. In this part of the lake there is a literal drift of sand from., north to south, and any projection into the water will result in the for mation of a beach to the north and erosion to the south. The Federal pier is such a projection. Early photographs show a continuous bluff and beach. When the pier was extended, it built a magnificent beach north of the river and the bluff was protected from wave action. The reverse happened to the south. Erosion of the beach there allowed the waves to strike the toe of the bluff, and the wet clay at the bottom literally melted away. Caves were formed at the bottom and huge falls of the overlay dropped into the water. One can see Bayfield disappearing in the muddy water after every storm.. Contrary to much local belief, the surface run-off plays only a very minor part in this destruction, and that because the land -falls have taken off the vegetation and left sheer cliffs. A .dramatic demonstration of this is the lovely ,bank to the north of the river, which few people see because it is closed to the public. • Pioneer Park is spending about $1,500 a year on the construction of groins to protect their land. This is building a fine beach, which is on park land that has .in the past been, covered:: with water. Unlike the beach north of the river, where access to the beach is barred, Pioneer Park operates under an Ontario Charter to provide a service to the public. Thus one travels on the Park river road south of the pier as the only access by road to the `shoreline in the village cnuth of the river. V V The federal govern- ment acknowledges responsibility for erosion south of the river, but refuses any com- pensation. Fortunately, the Ontario government has seen fit to assist. We irthday party The Town Hall in Bayfield was tastefully decorated on Saturday for . the 80th birthday celebrations for Mrs. Susie Pollock. Family, relatives and friends from Whitby, Toronto, Ancaster, Willowdale, London, Hensall, Goderich, Clinton, Bayfield and area attended to honor her on her special day. Mrs. Pollock is the former Susie Westlake,' who was born in the area and for many years has resided on the Goshen Line. She has three children, Ken of Henson; Bill of Pilot Butte, Saskat- chewan; and Bonnie of Willowdale, and is the proud grandmother 0.00 grandchildren. She is also a sister of Mrs. Bertha Turner and Walter Westlake of Bayfield. Following the "Open House”,Mrs. Pollock was the honored guest at a' family dinner in Clinton. ' Congratulations- "'are extended to this lovely lady for many more years ' of health and happiness. have just received a letter from Jack Riddell that a Wintario grant of $500 has been given to cover one third of the cost of last year's con- struction, and a similar grant for the next two years. We wish to thank the Minister of Culture and Recreation, Reuben C, Baetz for this generous assistance. The Park funds over the ;past two years have been reduced by $2,500. It had been hoped that the investments might be built up to a sufficient amount to cover the annual maintenance costs, and that current revenues would enable us to expand our facilities. The decision had to be made that preservation of the land was im- perative', and. that -all our resources Weald be spent on protectidrr of the beach andsbluff. The federal and Onta-rio governments have produced maps of the present coastlines from aerial photography and have projected the erosion that will occur over' the next 100 years. In the area of the Park this extends to Tuyll Street If this happens, our President, Prof. Here is an interesting flashback photo of Robin- son's Store on the Main Street at the corner of Charles Street in Bayfield. It later became Kerr's Grocery Store and is now a private residence.

The next meeting will be the annual picnic and is to be held June 17th, at 6 p.m. This meeting will also see the election of officers • for the corning year. The president' asked each member to look into our schedules and search our hearts, then pray, really pray that God will provide a vice-president for this next year. Mrs. Janet Talbot brought an inspiring message entitled the Miracle of Prayer, stressing the miracles of Jesus' time and also the miracles that happen today, and how God answers the prayers of a true Christian, who is obedient to His com- mandntents. Young people The Young People of the Bayfield Baptist Church met Friday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Chapman. After an exciting scavenger hunt, which was slightly dampened by the sudden downpour, the group assembled for a time of Bible Study and prayer. David From of Goderich reminded the Young People of God's love, and encouraged each one to see His love instead of the kind of love the world offers. A special interest of the evening was when a lovely bag, made by Mrs. Chapman and filled with some of the necessities for a girl going to Camp Livingston, Quebec, to work „ with the Sunday School Mission as a senior counselor, was presented to Debbie Talbot as she leaves June 21st to be doing God's i' work for the summer. A bountiful lunch was served by the host and hostess assisted by their co -leaders, Mr. and Mrs. Doug Talbot.
