gallery features Ontari
y Rod Wits
Last year Mary Rochon
came to Bayfield for the first
time in her life. She was
fascinated with the village
but was surprised to see
there was no art gallery. On
May 21, Mrs. Rochon
decided to change that and
thus the Bayfield House
Gallery was born.
The art gallery features
original works from ap-
proximately 30 artists
throughout Ontario. Pain-
tings in the gallery range
from oils to water colors.
Original sculptured pieces
and hand blown glass are
also on display.
Mrs. Rochon's backround
as a painter is a definite plus
in her business. She studied
art at the University of
Toronto and has been ac -
lively painting for 15 years.
Mrs. Rochon is originally
from Oakville, where she
started a co-op gallery. She
also spent some time
working at the Art Gallery of
Hamilton.
Before the doors of the
Bayfield House Gallery
could be opened on May 21, a
complete renovation off its
main street location was
done. Fifteen layers of
wallpaper was torn from the
walls of the 19th century
home to make way for a
fresh look.
Outside the house, a brick
tea -terrace was added.
Visitors to the gallery can
relax on the terrace and take
advantage of the six
varieties of tea and the
cream -topped, jam -filled
scones.
artists
At the rear of the house is a
stable that is being used for
craft demonstrations. The
public is invited to visit the
stable and get a first hand
look at art being created.
Crafts such as weaving,
leather works and oil
painting will be on display.
Mrs. Rochon expects to have
James Wallace of Sharp's
Creek Forge in Benmiller
displaying his blacksmith
skills sometime in the future.
According to Mrs. Rochon,
business has been "very
good and above ex-
pectations." She says people
have shown a keen interest
in art.
"Art is something you get
hooked on. It's something
that you start to ap-
preciate," said Mrs. Rochon.
Paintings such as abstract
interpretations of Lake
Huron and metal etching
techniques are featured at
the Bayfield House Gallery.
Mrs. Rochon stresses that
she is always on the look out
for up-and-coming artists.
Mark Fletcher, a native of
Kincardine, Mona Mulhern
of Goderich and Puck
Menkies of Grand Bend are
three local artists that have
their work on display at the
gallery.
Mrs. Rochon has a resume
of every artist that is on
display, giving credibility to
both the gallery and the
artist.
As for the future of the
gallery, Mrs. Rochon hopes
the business will continue to
go well and that people
continue their interest in fine
art.
Villagers protect ancient trees
By Doris Hunter
Visitors to our shores often
comment on the beauty of
o- our tree lined streets, the
pleasant dappling of the
sunlight as it filters through
the leaves of our old maples.
The Garden Club hopes
that our people, one and all,
will take a very good look at
the silver maple, on town
property, and the ancient
elm, one of only three in
Western Ontario, which was
preserved for us by the ser-
vices of the Davey Tree
Company at the request and
considerable expense of Mr.
and Mrs. Richard Dick, in
front of whose property
these trees are thriving.
The maple is estimated to
be 200 years old, much older
than Bayfield itself,
somehow escaping the
woodsmen's axe as the land
was cleared.
Explorers wrote of our
maple trees as long ago as
1703 and it is well-known the
great loss to the country
which the Dutch Elm disease
caused.
One conjures up many vi-
sions of the years that have
passed since these trees
"struck their roots into the
lap of time," growing a new
circle each year to attain
their present great girth.
The Garden Club was
pleased when the Dicks were
awarded a citation by the
Ontario government, for
outstanding service in the
preservation of these
monuments to history. It is
our turn now; the trees must
be preserved. The expense is
great and your help and your
interest are needed. Talk to
council, support the Garden
Club in its concern for the
trees, thank the Dicks and
trite as it sounds remember,
"Only God can make a
tree."
The Lion's Club Frolic is
on everyone's mind this
week as hula girls, pirates,
cowboys, small devils and
other famous characters,
prepare to march in the
parade, held every year to
start the fun at the fair
grounds. Here there is a
small type sized merry-go-
round, lots of games of
chance, bingo and the
Lioness Penny Sale draw.
Everyone goes and everyone
has a,super time.
Parade starts 7 p.m. in
front of the Little Inn, Fri-
day, July 22. See you there!
Our distinguished native
son, Tom Penhale, has
returned from the Calgary
Stampede, trying desperate-
ly to appear modest, but
rightly enjoying the ac-
colades, his beautiful Disney
World Wagon received.
Calgary hosted the Royal
Percheron Congress on this.
its 100th anniversary. A coup
for Calgary as the Congress
has heretofore been held in
France, and a coup for
Bayfield as Tom's beautiful
wagon was drawn by the
magnificent Percherons
owned by the Disney World
Organization. Needless to
say they walked off with a
first, and are now officially
Royal Champions in the 8
horse hitch event. This
means they are the world's
best and Tom's wagon is a
worthy part of the ensemble.
Tom and Carol had a
fabulous time at the
stampede, their daughter

Among returning
Bayfielders this week was
Mrs. Alison Cox, now a resi-
dent of Huronview. Her
daughter, Miss Dorothy Cox
also entertained her aunt,
Miss Sinclair of Seaforth and
neighbours pleased to see
Mrs. Cox in such renewed
health, stopped by for a chat.

Jason, Andrew and baby
Jessica, while daughter
Janet and Howard McLean

Kenneth. Happy. days for
Frank and Betty.
The Bayfield Firefighters
were called out this week
and in five minutes had ex-
tinguished a blazing car on
Highway 21. It was a write-
off but the wise owner had
abandoned his car at once,
so no one was injured.
Mary Rochon recently opened a fine art gallery in Bayfield. The gallery features the
work of Ontario artists. (Rod Hilts photo)
Two architectural styles
make House unique
The Bayfield House was,
like many of our homes in
town, built in two stages. The
first small abode in the 1850's
and the present front half in
1893. This type of ar-
chitecture is variously called
vernacular, folk ar-
chitecture or County Gothic.
The last because ofits.,
sharply. epeaked gable and
the quaint window there. The
Gothic style was supposed to
direct man's thoughts
toward heaven. Painted
frame in proper Canadian
style with spanking white
walls and shutter green trim,
the little building is one of
the few of its kind left in
town, without some kind of
siding or a paint job from the
Williamsburg palate of
colours.
Bicycling was the great
diversion in the 1890's.
Daring women took scissors
to their skirts, sewed weights
into the hems and subscribed
to the belief that "it drove
away dyspepsia, headaches,
insomnia and sciatica and
imparted a vigorous tone to
the whole system". It was in

Happy
Birthday Roy
Sunday, July 17, being Roy
Scotchmer's birthday, he
and his wife Freida were
invited to Ken and Joyce's
for dinner. On arrival Roy
was surprised to find some
friends and relatives there.
It was a very happy oc-
casion. Many others called
during the day for a hand-
shake to convey their good
wishes. Roy said, "I am the
oldest of the Scotchmer clan
living."
Wishing him many more
years of happiness and
health, hang in there Roy.

Stanley p
Stanley Township has
given approval to the Huron
County Highways Depart-
ment to operate a gravel pit
at lot 14, concession 5.
Previously the pit was us-
ed for sand, but a gravel
deposit has been located
there. The highways depart-
ment will use the gravel to
build up the road between
Brucefield and Egmondville.
Stanley will be applying
for a special grant to help
celebrate Ontario's birth-
day.
Municipalities in the pro-
vince are eligible for funds
from the ministry of hous-
ing. Based per capita,
Stanley may receive $953 to
help in the 1985 bi-centennial
celebration.
As in past years, the
Tuckersmith Summer
Recreation Program was
given permission to use the
