A sunfilled weekend prompted, Naomi Pal, Liam Pal and Henry Dobson to spend their days playing on their
unique snow fort. This large stump facing the Village Guild Building, on Main Street, is all that remains of a
grand silver maple which dated back to the birth of Bayfield. It was severely damaged in the harsh winter
weather of 1998 and cut to its present form. (Dennis Pal photo)
JUDITH KEIGHTLEY GUEST SPEAKER
AT HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S ANNUAL
MEETING
BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER
The first discovery of oil in North America and its impact on Southwestern Ontario will be the
topic presented at the Bayfield Historical Society's Annual General Meeting on Jan. 25.
The day will begin with a lunch served at noon at St. Andrew's United Church. Tickets for the
luncheon cost $15 per person.
As part of the Society's Speakers Series, the guest presenter will be Judy Keightley. She once
lived in a house in Petrolia that was built by Jake Engelhart, a president of Imperial Oil.
Keightley has done extensive research on the impact that oil has had; her presentation should
prove to be both entertaining and informative.
Tickets for the lunch are available in advance only. Both tickets and society membership
renewals for 2010 can be obtained by contacting Bud or Pat Langley at 519 565-2894.
There will be three public meetings in each
watershed for public review of the documents and to
ask questions and provide input between Jan. 5 and
March 12.
The first of the six public meetings will be held at the
Bayfield Town Hall on Jan. 21.
This open -house format public meeting is open for
the public to drop in and talk to staff between 3-5
p.m. and between 6-8 p.m.
Public delegations are welcome at a public meeting
in Blyth on Feb. 18 from 7-9 p.m. To reserve a time to
present at this more formal public meeting call the
Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley Drinking Water
Source Protection Project (see numbers below).

the delegation -format public meeting in Blyth visit

TOWN HALL
It has been 20 years since a committee was formed
to save the Bayfield Town Hall from demolition. Since
that time a number of fundraising efforts have been
held in an effort to preserve it and make it a vital part
of the community social scene.
Now The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society is
looking to improve the entrance to the building to
make it more visibly appealing for weddings,
festivals, concerts and business meetings.
The latest fundraiser will be the sale of
commemorative bricks to be installed in the front
walk, at the hall entrance and a new walk leading to
the property's "great lawn".
The paving stones can be engraved to showcase a
family name, honor loved ones or celebrate a special
occasion such as a wedding or an anniversary. They
could even make a unique family Christmas gift.
According to the fundraising brochure, "These stones
will be placed along the walkway so that generations
to come will enjoy this wonderful legacy left in honor
of the revitalization of the town hall."
There are three stone styles to purchase: a large
stone, 8X12, with two lines of engraving up to 12
characters per line, $250; a medium stone, 8X8, with
one line of engraving up to 12 characters, $100; and
a place holder, 4X8, no engraving, $50. Tax receipts
will be provided. Cheques can be made payable to
The Bayfield Town Hall and mailed to PO Box 2078,
Bayfield ON, NOM 1 GO. Further information can be
obtained by contacting Margo Robeson at 519 565-
2827.
Organizations, school classes, businesses and
corporations are encouraged to be part of this
worthwhile community project.

SNOW BOOTS WERE MADE FOR
WALKING
The Bayfield Historical Society and Bayfield Archives Room would like to invite everyone to
leave their footprints in the snow about town. The Bayfield Historic Walking Tour booklets are
now available to act as your guide.
If a winter's walk doesn't sound that appealing people are sure to enjoy taking this stroll come
spring or summer. The booklet, is based on notes of a Guided Walking Tour composed by
Elaine Sturgeon, volunteer archivist from 2001-08. These notes were revised and expanded by
Dianne Smith and produced by the Bayfield Historical Society, Ralph Laviolette current
volunteer archivist and Dave Gillians, historical society president. Its production was funded by
memberships, donations and a grant from the Huron Heritage Fund.
The Historic Walking Tour booklets are now available for $5 each at the Bayfield Archives
Room on Main Street or by calling 519 565-2454. The booklet is in a 5.5 X 8 inch format and
includes a map at its centre. The booklet was created to compliment the Bayfield Historical
Society guided walking tours that depart from the Bayfield Archives Room every Saturday
morning at 10 a.m. during July and August.
The Bayfield Historical Society also has a limited number of the "Huron Historical Notes —
Village of Bayfield" book available. These are selling for $8.00 to cover production and printing
costs.
REMEMBER ME?
There are countless photographs of people in the Bayfield Historical Society's Archives
collection, but sadly their names were never recorded. In this section we will showcase an
image with the hopes that one of our subscribers might be able to identify the individual(s) in
the photo. Please email your information to the Editor's attention at the address listed near the
bottom of the page in "Submissions".
In Issue 27's "REMEMBER MET' we showed a photo of two ladies standing in front of the
entrance to what is believed to be Orlagh. This home, at 41 Main St. S, was built by Dr. Ninian
Woods. Does anyone remember these women?
This week, we feature a photo of three strapping young soldiers. It is labeled that one of them
is S. Larriman. Does anyone know which gentleman this would be and also who the other two
men are? Does anyone recognize to what regiment their uniform belongs?

Capturing winter through the lens of a camera
is a delight for the senses especially if you
have the ever changing waterways of the
Bayfield Harbour and Lake Huron as your
subject. Every day it tells a different story.
These images were captured in the morning
hours of Jan. 9 when our frozen village was
blessed with winter sunshine.

can't imagine living in a country where you didn't experience the four seasons — spring is my overall favorite but I must admit to
enjoying some aspect of all of them.
And although this might not be the popular opinion I am going to go on record as stating I like winter. (This is not to be confused
with winter driving — totally separate subject.) I especially like the days when the sun shines and the snow has covered everything
in a glistening blanket of white. Although it may be chilly, with the right accessories, a winter's walk can be a warm and calming
experience.
Of course, this season sometimes causes us to take stock and prevents us from going outside at all when those Huron County
snow squalls take centre stage. On those occasions an excuse is provided to do the things I can't seem to make time for the other months of the year —
like reading a book, sorting sock drawers and scrap booking.
Here, in this summer driven community winter invites us all to slow down a little and maybe if we're lucky make angels in the snow.
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome. Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m. Please email me at bayfeld.breeze@villageofbayfield.com or call
519-565-2443. Hope to see you online soon at www.villageofbayiield.com - Melody
