BLUEWATER BLOOMS
For the second consecutive year, the Municipality of
Bluewater is proud to be a part of the Provincial
Communities in Bloom Program competition. There
are new dates for the judges' visit. They will be
coming to Bluewater July 20-22.
Last year, the Municipality of Bluewater printed a
pamphlet that explains the program. This highly
recognized program is not just about floral displays. It
promotes environmental responsibility and
beautification through community participation and
friendly competition!
The judging criteria is based on eight categories:
tidiness, environmental awareness, community
involvement, natural and cultural heritage, tree/urban
forest management, landscaped areas, floral
displays, turf and groundcovers.
The color scheme for this year's "Bluewater Blooms"
is red, purple, pink and blue. People will notice these
colors in planters on the streets of Hensall, Zurich
and Bayfield.
In conjunction with the judges' visit, the Municipality
of Bluewater Communities in Bloom Committee, will
be holding an open house at the Bayfield Community
Centre on the evening of July 21 from 7-9 p.m.

When Bayfield resident, Lillian Martin, first saw the proposed plans for the Bayfield Public
Library she could hardly believe "that this is going to be our library. It is such a beautiful
concept."
Martin was just one resident that commented on the plan presented by Skinner and Skinner
Architects of London at an Open House organized by the Municipality of Bluewater on the
morning of July 9 at the Bayfield Community Centre.
In addition to the presentation by the architect the Open House provided residents and
community groups an opportunity to speak to the project, voice concerns and make
suggestions.
According to Bradley Skinner, principal architect with the firm, the historical character of the
village that makes it a distinctive and unique community formed the design inspiration for the
project.

The L-shaped plan, arched windows and gentle
roof slope pick up on characteristics found in
the buildings nearest neighbor, the current
library and archives building.
"The current post office building is really an
anomaly on the street as it doesn't really fit in,
however, the social space that has been
created at its front with benches and the village
bulletin board is important. And we hope to
enhance and further define this area," said
Skinner.
The new construction at 5,117 square feet will
be located on the site of the post office box
building, on the north side of Main Street and
east of the existing archives and library
building. It will become home to the library that
will see a dramatic increase in size at 4,042
square feet up from the existing 1,035 square
feet. In addition a multi-purpose program room,
public washrooms and post office boxes will be
included in the build all of which can be entered

from alternative entrances when the library is closed.
The interior of the library is designed with flow in mind and in keeping with the need that staff
must be able to see all areas of the library from the centralized circulation desk. The library will
contain an adult collections area, a reading and seating area, a public access computer area, a
children's collection and seating area and a multi purpose program room. The plans also
include a family washroom as well as facilities for men and women, a storage area and a staff
workroom.
The library plan features a cathedral ceiling running along the centre with a porthole style
window in the roofline at the front. Attractive wood beams on the ceiling will support the
lighting. The ceilings in the space are 10 feet high with the exception of the centre of the library
and the multi-purpose program room.
The public washrooms designed with the plan have been long desired by visitors, residents
and merchants in Bayfield. Skinner wanted to make them prominent and a beautiful feature of
the plan.
"I didn't want to put them around the back where people would worry about their safety when
using them," he said.
PIONEER PARK

the remaining summer months with both fundraising

There will be two courses open to people depending on their fitness level. The event will begin
at noon with registration check-in being held from 9-11:30 a.m.
The 45 km Course begins at the Bayfield Arena and meanders through the Huron countryside.
All roads are paved. The terrain, while basically flat, offers regular climbs over moraines. The
course runs parallel to Lake Huron with the lake in view at many points. The event ends in the
village centre.
The 3 km Course is designed for those people wishing to participate while avoiding a more
strenuous ride. The course is within the village on flat paved roads.
Cyclists can opt for either the 45 km or 3 km course.

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

Army. In 1958, he immigrated to Canada and
practiced anesthesia in hospitals in both Quebec and
Ontario. He was also a very active Freemason for 48
years.
His wife, Eunice, his children and grandchildren,
survives him.
A funeral service was held on July 15 with interment

anniversary.
There was music, door prizes, food and great fun
for Thunderbird lovers both old and young. Once
again the Bayfield Historical Society manned the
food booth providing hotdogs and hamburgers to
hungry Thunderbird fans.
Reg Kutasinski, of New Hamburg, ON (centre), chats
with Karen Leggett and Lloyd Elrick of
Cambridge/Hespeler, ON, during the SOTC car show

welcome to this largest single
gathering of the SOTC for the
year. Participants didn't have to be

This 1957 Thunderbird owned by Dean and Jan Thompson, of Thedford, ON, has the added benefit of a Bird
Nest - Rumble Seat. The rumble seat is a rare feature and in this case it is a reproduction of what the original
would look like.
Earl Jacques, of St. Thomas, ON (left), and Jim Aiken, of Mitchell, ON, parked their Thunderbirds side by side in
Clan Gregor Square on Sunday. The two had a common hobby to chat about.
Thunderbirds come in a myriad of colors including this eye catching green. This 1956 Thunderbird is owned by
Mary and Adrian Lavender of London, ON.
The 007 Ford Thunderbird was
manufactured as a 2003 Limited
Edition with 700 vehicles being
made. Three of these Thunderbirds
were in attendance at this year's
show.
This 1956 Buckskin Tan Thunderbird is owned by
Barry and Paula Carson, of Delaware, ON.
Clan Gregor was a busy place on Sunday afternoon
as the Thunderbirds descent caused many curious
people to come stroll through and look at the cars.

Canada is a country of extremes. We are a land of humidity and wind chills. Remember how we wished for a warm breeze
when we trudged through the snow in -30C weather attempting to find our cars under piles of fresh snow? Did we complain
about the cold? Of course, we did. And now? With humidity making it feel like 48C we're going to wish for a few snowflakes to
cool us.
There is only one other time I can remember feeling heat like this and that was in the jungles of Belize touring Mayan Ruins.
Our tour guide, a native of that country, even admitted it was hot for him. He carried a hand towel with him and blotted the
sweat from his brow every few minutes. I who stood dripping in sweat trying to concentrate on his talk coveted that towel.

And now as this heat wave rocks Ontario where do I find myself headed? A simulated Serengeti, as my Guiding sisters and I
head to the Toronto Zoo for Bush Camp at the end of this week. You can be sure I will have a hand towel at the ready. - Melody
