An official ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the revitalization of the front entrance, walkway and gardens to
the Bayfield Town Hall was held on June 27. L -R: Mayor of Bluewater, Bill Dowson; Huron County Warden,
Bert Dykstra; and Jerry Selk, board member of the Bayfield Town Hall Hertiage Society were invited to cut the
ribbon. (Photo by Roger Lewington)
Approximately 80 supporters of the Bayfield Town Hall celebrated the grand dame's face lift on
the afternoon of June 27th with a Strawberry Social.
The revitalization to the hall's entrance, walkway and gardens cost in excess of $15,000 and
was funded through grants from the County of Huron, Municipality of Bluewater and over 100
local residents and businesses that purchased engraved stones for the walkway.
The new look includes a new entrance walkway, wrought iron railings and arbor as well as new
plantings. The Bayfield Horticultural Society designed the plans for the project with Gold Coast
Landscaping, and Sharpe's Creek Forge being contracted to complete the work.
Several dignitaries were on hand for the event. Greetings from their perspective levels of
government were brought by Bert Dykstra, warden of Huron County and Bill Dowson, Mayor of
the Municipality of Bluewater. Jane Rowat spoke on behalf of the town hall board and Jerry
Selk, also a town hall board member, thanked all of the individual contributors from the
community, as well as the project contractors.
Other special guests in attendance were: Dave Johnston, deputy mayor of Bluewater; and
Bluewater councilors, Jim Fergusson, Tyler Hessel, George Irvin and Bill MacDougall; and
Beth Ross, manager of Library and Cultural Services for the County.
The Bayfield Town Hall was built in 1882 then moved to its present location on Clan Gregor
Square in 1920. The town hall was the seat of village government from that date until 1927 and
again from 1965 to 1984 at which point the aging building was closed for failure to meet fire
code standards.
In 1989, a committee was formed to restore and re-energize the town hall. The committee was
known as the "Friends of the Town Hall" and after years of fundraising, private donations and
grants, monies were raised to restore and maintain this historic building. The gallery was
restored through the generosity of the Trillium Foundation.
Magician Daniel Steep, of Clinton, is scheduled to
perform and a talented face painting clown will also
offer her skills to shiny faced youngsters. Games and
crafts are also on the docket.
All this frivolity is sure to create an appetite — hotdogs
will be served up hot from the barbecue.
This free event is hosted by the members of the
Bayfield Optimist Club, who are proud to have the
mandate, Friends of Youth.

The view from Pioneer Park on an autumn day.
The annual Rummage Sale, Pioneer Park's major fundraiser, takes place on July 9th and it will
be a wild and frenzied Friday evening. It's the culmination of a year of hard work by dozens of
volunteers. 1 never go to buy, /just want to see some of the unusual bargains and be in on the
action. But, 1 always come home with something. If we don't need it and a higher authority than
me says there's no room, it will end up in next year's sale. I enjoy the fun of bargaining with my
friends who make up the volunteer sales staff. They can spot me as a mark as soon as 1 step
into the arena.
I don't mind because I'm doing it for Lucy. I know that somewhere, somehow, Lucy Woods Diehl
is smiling because her Bayfield has persevered. This crippled women who struggled in pain
most of her life has left a legacy that everyone who appreciates all that Bayfield has to offer
should be grateful for.
They don't build statues to community activists who live their life in a small village far away from
the bright lights of the city but maybe they should. I believe that Lucy Woods Diehl was
Bayfield's greatest hero. The Pioneer Park Rummage sale would never happen and Pioneer
Park wouldn't exist if it weren't for her. You can take that a step further and say we wouldn't still
have a town hall, an Archives Building/ Library, a revitalized Clan Gregor Square or
reconstructed cenotaph if she hadn't shown the way; if she hadn't shown that motivated
volunteers can shape their community, can make things better.
Lucy Woods Diehl (Submitted photo)
Lucy Wood Diehl was born in "The Hut", Bayfield's oldest
building, in 1902. She was the daughter of Dr. Ninian W.
Woods, one of the village's doctors and the postmaster. She
developed rheumatoid arthritis at an early age and spent
most of her life in pain and she eventually became crippled.
Despite her ailments, she was passionate about life and
especially about Bayfield.
She worked with her family at the village post office in what
is now known as the Rutledge Building and became a weekly
columnist for the Clinton News -Record where her Bayfield
articles attracted so much attention that she was named
"Champion Country Correspondent of Ontario." Most of her
many articles are on file at the Bayfield Archives and they
are a delightful mixture of folksy gossip and historical tales.
She talked with the pioneers, she remembered the stories about the fishing families and most
importantly, she painted a portrait in words of a village that wouldn't shrivel up and die.
Very few of the issues that concern residents today haven't been argued in the past. She wrote
about saving the town hall, cleaning up Clan Gregor Square, preserving the village look of Main
Street and the political differences between village and country. She supported anyone and
anything that would make Bayfield a better place.
Her greatest achievement was organizing the purchase and establishing the "Trust" for Pioneer
Park. For over 50 years, politicians had rejected opportunities to acquire the land for a village

park because it would cost too much and it was going to be sold for development. She
purchased the park with her own limited funds and then recruited some summer residents who
were mostly from Michigan to contribute. Despite her physical limitations, she showed that
individuals can make a difference and she encouraged summer residents to participate.
Well established trees line the perimeter of the park, seemingly at rest during the winter months.
If there is such a thing, Lucy Wood Diehl is Bayfield's "guardian angel". Amidst the chaos of the
Rummage Sale, I'm going to step back and take a moment to savor the scene because Lucy's
"spirit" is going to be there and 1 want to enjoy the experience.

About 20 years ago I got my first job at a small town newspaper, it was a dream come true for me. I had aspired to have my
work appear on its pages since I was nine years -old. I have always enjoyed the ink stain one gets on their hands after flipping
through the pages of a newspaper. However, I have never liked the phrase, "There is nothing in the paper". When I hear that
my general response is "Thank the Lord." For I know all to well, the soul-searching and often the following criticism, that comes
when there is "something" to report.
I will never forget my first fire call — I was working one of my first weekends alone at the paper when the alarm sounded. Hands
shaking I dialed the number to the fire hall and to the person who answered the phone I excitedly exclaimed that I worked for
the paper, had heard the alarm and requested directions to the emergency so that I could report on it. I'm sure the person on
the other end of the phone had to stifle a giggle when she explained that it was Saturday and the alarm was only the weekly
But there would be other calls for house fires and car accidents and as a reporter in the field I dutifully answered and did my best to report on any incidents
with dignity and respect. Over time you come to the realization that the alarms and sirens are an indicator that someone's day has taken a horribly wrong
turn and lives may be changed forever.
I have great respect for those who answer the alarm — our firefighters, paramedics and police officers — they do their best each time to bring about a
positive result and it is never easy when there isn't a happy ending.
Yes, I'll take nothing in the paper; whether it is made of ink and newsprint or this virtual version, over "something" every time.
