ButLng waves in Bayfield
BAYFIELD - A new form of shoreline ero-
sion control - "wavebusters" - will be put to
the test in this community.
Bayfield has been chosen as the ex-
perimental site for the use of this new type
of erosion protection. This is the, first time
that "wavebusters" will have been used in
Ontario and both the provincial and federal
governments have shown interest in follow-
ing this project.
"Wavebusters" were introduced to
Bayfield council earlier this spring by Coun-
cillors Jim Quick'and Cliff Freeman. Cur-
rently in use in Munro and Lexington;
Michigan, in Florida and in Chicago, the
"the wavebusters" are new on the market.
Councillors Quick and Freeman reported to
council that 'the concept and method work
behind the "wavebusters" was impressive.
"Wavebusters" are concrete forms that
. work to create a sandbar area. Water flows
through the grill system of "wavebusters"
and sand and siltremain behind.
One hundred feet of "wavebusters" have
been donated to Bayfield • by Diemert
Custom Backhoe. The contracting firm
wants to use the Bayfield project as a
model, in hopes of doing more work of this
type.
"We're getting a $20,000 project at no cost
to the village," Councillor Quick said in
recommending the go-ahead of the work.
Council accepted the donation, with the
,notation that in taking the offer, the
'municipality is in no way placedin a com-
promise position with Diemert Custom
Backhoe.
Before work can actually begin, approval .
must be given by the Ministry of Natural
Resources. They, among other things, re-
quire surveys, 'specifications and a $250 ad-
ministration fee. As well the ministry re-
quires that the municipality state that it will
°be responsible for the maintenance of the •
"wavebusters.'''
The "wavebusters" will be placed in ap-
proximately four feet of water in the area
that runs between the Al'Galbraith property
and the Pioneer Park area.

Garden walk - one of the best ever
By Helen Owen
BAYFIELD-Brilliant sunshine supersed-
ed the overcast morning, and on Saturday
afternoon, July 5, the members of the
Bayfield Garden Club were busy on the oc-
casion of the annual `Garden Walk'.
This popular event started off at the home
of Elva Metcalf on the corner of Main Street
where visitors admired the well kept and
colored garden, wh}elq/Irs. Metcalf says is
the work of Beth Ratti ell. From there the
walkers moved on to Louisa Street to ad-
mire the roses of Mr. Renner's and then
across to the garden of the Mitchells. Here
the growth of vegetables and the methods
used stimulated a good deal of interest.
The next leg of the walk took in the
delightful landscaping yet natural look of
the Hovey's garden, through the garden of
Charles Rogers with time to admire the
beautiful pink rambler rose which covers
the Main Street facade of the house: At the
