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, a memorial postcard is shown. It announces that the gentleman in the picture died in October 1934. Does anyone remember this man? about the status of trees in the village. The intention of the group is to engage the community in a plan to restore Bayfield's trees through a collaborative effort involving community groups, interested individuals and government partners. They envision a process involving, first, an inventory to assess the number, type and health of the existing trees in the village. Second, on the basis of the inventory results, they hope to create a plan for replacing dead and dying trees with species appropriate to soil and moisture conditions. Third, they would like to develop a plan for planting new trees in areas of the village where there are few. Their goal is to produce a sustainable plan of tree care and renewal and to secure the necessary funding to restore the village's beautiful community forest.

WATER LINE INSTALLATION SPRING 2010 UNDER CONSTRUCTION: BAYFIELD'S MAIN STREET PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Water system construction has been going on in the village for a few weeks now but this week it has arrived on Main Street. The installation of the main water line started in the downtown core on March 29. According to a notice posted on the Municipality of Bluewater website, while this pipe is being installed, the contractor will erect temporary barricades preventing vehicles from parking in certain areas. The contractor plans to close Main Street in one block sections for approximately one day each. Once the contractor has moved to the next section, parking in the completed area will immediately return to normal. This restriction is cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfiieldBreezeWeekl4lssue39/tabid/289/Default.aspx 5/9 5/27/2019 Bayfield Breeze - Week 14 Issue 39 According to information posted on the Municipality of Bluewater website, restoration of the disturbed areas will follow as soon as possible, however, asphalt for permanent pavement repairs is not available until mid May.

Dave Moloy operated the payloader. being done to ensure a safe work environment, to minimize installation time and to eliminate risk to parked vehicles. Delivery trucks will still be allowed on the street but may experience some delays due to the work. Emergency vehicles will be exempt from the restrictions. Pedestrians will still be allowed access to the downtown for business purposes, but will be guided by the contractor to ensure that they remain in a safe position away from heavy equipment. The municipality has imposed a May 14 deadline for all work to be completed in the downtown area to ensure no disruption during the highest tourist season. The project is currently well ahead of schedule. Bruce Leggate used an excavator to dig up the street. Kyle Hodgins was kept busy bolting restraints on to pipes to prevent them from moving under pressure once installed. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfiieldBreezeWeekl4lssue39/tabid/289/Default.aspx 6/9 5/27/2019 Bayfield Breeze - Week 14 Issue 39 It is expected that the work on Main Street should be completed in approximately three business days On the morning of March 30 work on the water line was being done on the corner of Charles and Main. The plan is to close Main Street in one block sections while the work is being done to disrupt activity as little as possible. The road closed sign is a familar one around the community this spring as municipal water comes to the village. The main water line is being installed in the downtown core this week. .

Workers discovered that the water table is close to the surface on Main Street, so in some areas water is being pumped out before the line is installed. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/BayfiieldBreezeWeekl4lssue39/tabid/289/Default.aspx 7/9 5/27/2019 5 Bayfield Breeze - Week 14 Issue 39 MYFIE.L1 FiNh�CIAL c�wurixc SUBMISSIONS L21-1 I-11` SCLUIRRELI yea s s. rw,e The old saying, "be careful what you wish for' maybe coming into play on the streets of the municipality this week, for quite awhile now there have been grumblings that Bluewater lacked a full time by-law enforcement officer and that as a result by-laws were not being enforced. Well, it is becoming evident that all this has changed with the arrival of full time by-law enforcement officer Mark Russell. And now there are new grumblings a foot. It would appear Parking By-law No. 24-2005 is the cause. People are being ticketed for parking on boulevards - the area of land between the road and the property line that although technically owned by the municipality - they maintain. The municipality has posted an information package online with regards to this by-law that may prove informative. The purchase of a parking permit may prevent further consternation. Permits will only be granted to properties with inadequate space for parking. Applicants must provide explanation for their need to obtain a parking permit as well as a dimension sketch of their lot. Generally, a maximum of two permits will be issued to residential properties. There is a onetime application fee of $10.00. Renewal permits are issued at no cost to the bearer of the original permit. These permits will be processed within seven business days. However, people who have parked on these boulevards for years are feeling unjustly treated and will make their feelings known at the council meeting to be held on Apr. 6 at 7 p.m. Janisse Zimmerman, of Zurich, will at that meeting present a petition that is being circulated in Zurich and Hensall and she would like to extend an invitation to any Bayfield residents with similar concerns to show their support by attending the meeting. To learn more about the by-law go to the Municipality of Bluewater website — click on "I Live Here' — Departments — By-law Enforcement Services — By-law Permits and Applications — Special Parking Permit. Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome. Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m. Please email me at bayreld.breeze@villageofbayfield.com or call 519-565-2443.
