WATER DISTRIBUTION AND BYLAW
ENFORCEMENT HOT TOPICS FOR BRA
The Bayfield Ratepayers' Association (BRA) continues to work for Bayfield and in their
ongoing efforts to keep the community informed of matters which may affect them as
ratepayers they have forwarded to the Bayfield Breeze a copy of their most recent
newsletter. Excerpts from this publication are included below:
Village residents will have noticed that the second phase of water distribution is under
construction. Phase Three (Main Street), is scheduled to be done by May 24. The
Environmental Assessment for taking the distribution system across the Bayfield River is
underway. The new water tower is full and some people are hooked up to the water distribution
system. Municipality of Bluewater, Deputy Mayor Dave Johnston advised that 2011 should see
the start of the billing to individual lots.
The By Law Enforcement Officer is on the job. It was noted that parking tickets are now
appearing on individual's car windshields. The board was informed that special parking permits
are available to people who are unable to park their cars in their own driveways. These permits
are available for a fee of $10 and may be purchased at the Municipal Offices. One parking
permit may be purchased for the homeowner and one for their guests.
It was also brought to the attention of the BRA that by laws dealing with residential based
businesses state that in home business owners must be resident in the property in question.
The BRA continues to support Water Quality Monitoring as it comes before Council for annual
budgetary renewal.
The Facilities Review Committee met and received their recommendations from staff. The

EARTH HOUR
Communities around the world will demand action
on climate change by marking Earth Hour on
March 27. All are encouraged to turn their lights
off for 60 minutes starting at 8:30 p.m. (local
time).
To celebrate Earth Hour in Bayfield everyone is
invited to turn off lights at home and head to St
Andrew's United Church for a sing -along in
celebration of the earth and to express joint
concern about its future. The program will
commence at 8:30 p.m. It will feature songs by
both the Glees Sisters and St. Andrew's Church
Choir, plus the two choirs combined. The choirs
will also lead a sing -along of popular old-time
songs.
Organizers suggest participants bring a flashlight,
candle or hurricane lamp to view the words for the
sing -along by because the lights will be off in the
church as well!

Committee will make some recommendations to Council. It was recommended that the Holy Week is upon us and Trinity Anglican
Bayfield Library, Post Office and Washrooms proceed to architectural drawings and that the
Archives Room be left as is until further consultation.
The Ontario Government Provincial Policy Statement on planning and development drastically
affects rural issues as the policy statement appears to be geared to large urban areas as
opposed to smaller rural communities. There has been a suggestion that there should be two
separate policy statements; one centered on Metropolitan issues and one focused on rural
communities. The county and the municipality will comment and the BRA will put together a
position statement.
The date of the Municipal Elections is Oct. 25. The BRA will put a position statement forward in
readiness for the election.
Complete minutes of the last BRA meeting can be accessed by members on the BRA web site.
Any interested parties who are not yet members please contact Sondra Buchner by calling 519-

HEART HEALTHY CARE WITHIN
VILLAGE
Village residents may be surprised to learn that they don't have to drive to a larger centre for
heart healthy care. Blood pressure measurement and monitoring sessions are being held right
here in Bayfield as part of the Cardiovascular Health Awareness Program (CHAP).
The goal of CHAP is to promote cardiovascular health in the local community and to raise
awareness about the importance of blood pressure monitoring.
Trained volunteers will help participants measure their blood pressure and complete a heart
and stroke risk profile. A copy of these results will be given to the participant and, with their
permission, sent to their family physician and regular pharmacist.
The sessions are run from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., on the third Thursday of every month, at
Pharmasave Michael's Pharmacy.
To learn more please call local CHAP Coordinator, Kelly Webster, at 519-236-4373 ex 632

LAST WEEK TO SUPPORT TOWN HALL
COMMEMORATIVE BRICK
FUNDRAISER
It has been more than 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.
Time is running out to be part of the society's latest fundraiser. 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", will end on March 31.
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.
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.
The society hopes to have the brickwork installed this spring.
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".
This week we have a little mystery to try and solve. According to notes, this photo was sent to a
Mrs. N.W. Woods on June 18, 1938. Does anyone know who the lady is in the picture?
The final movie scheduled for the season is Cairo
Time. It will be shown on May 13.
Tickets cost $10 per person at the door the night
of the film.

Albert and Doris Schilbe's family have been making maple syrup for about 50 years. Their children,
grandchildren and even great-grandchildren have all helped out where they could over the decades to bring in
this sweet harvest.

Doug Smith keeps fire burning, often boiling sap through the night.
Harmony Palacios and Melanie Wilson were just two members of Bayfield Guiding who visited the Schilbe Sugar
Shack on the afternoon of March 23.
PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
"I love cyriiup," announced Bayfield Spark,
Johanna Palacios as she poured the last drop of
her maple syrup sampling onto her tongue.
The afternoon of March 23 marked a special
outing for the members of the Bayfield Sparks,
Brownies and Guides as they went for a tour of
the Albert and Doris Schilbe Maple Syrup Bush on
Orchard Line.
The business began about 50 years ago and
although the tradition of the maple syrup harvest
is an old one the family has kept up with the times
when it comes to processing technology.
In 1972, the spring after the shanty was built; they
switched from a gravity pipe line to a vacuum
system. In 1980 they added a reverse osmosis
machine to lessen the boiling time and improve
the quality of the syrup.
Today they have close to 3,500 taps and in
keeping with tradition they also have 200 taps
with buckets in use.
Albert Schilbe now runs the business in
partnership with Doug Smith and with the help of
his daughter Dianne and her husband Brian
Brandon .
The members of Bayfield Guiding truly enjoyed
learning how this sweet Canadian treat goes from
sap to syrup and the fact they got to taste it didn't
hurt their enthusiasm either.
A true sign of spring!

So will you be shutting off your non-essential lights for one hour this Saturday evening in honor of our earth? It is a symbolic gesture, I know, but with the
growing magnitude of recent natural disasters, it is an important recognition that something needs to be done to combat climate change.
This year I will be celebrating Earth Hour with my Pathfinder unit, a group of bright, environmentally conscience young women, whose generation will be
looked upon to pick up where mine leaves off.

And it won't be easy, after all consider this, I thought we'd light some candles for the hour and do some global minded activities in
their glow. And then this morning I read an article promoting Earth Hour which read: Using candles during Earth Hour can actually
increase atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions. Ugh!! I guess we will celebrate Earth Hour by the glow of LED Flashlights, the
suggested, environmentally friendly option.
How ever you choose to celebrate, may the evening make us more mindful of our collective carbon footprint.
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome. Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m. Please
