(Photo by Roger Lewington) The final brick has been laid at the Bayfield Town Hall as part of the fundraiser for the landscaping and exterior improvements made to the hall in the last couple of years. The project has been generously supported by the community through donations and the purchase of bricks that have been placed in the walkway. The landscaping and brick laying was done by Gold Coast Landscaping, of Varna, and the ironwork by Jim Wallace of Sharpe's Creek Forge near Goderich. Margo Robeson, president of the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS) said, "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank the community for their generous support of this project." This most recent project at the hall cost approximately $35,000 with the majority of the funds generated from the community. In addition, there were heritage grants from the County of Huron and Municipality of Bluewater. The 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, collecting private donations and grants, enough money was raised to restore this historic building. The BTHHS, a non-profit charitable corporation with a volunteer board of directors, is charged with the maintenance and upkeep of this historic building. This upkeep is possible through the many fundraising events run by the board as well as generous donations from Bayfield residents. In addition to maintaining the Historic Town Hall, the mission of the BTHHS is to provide cultural events and activities for Bayfield and area residents. The Bayfield Town Hall has become an iconic symbol of the village with many residents and visitors choosing to have their event at the Town Hall.

(Photo by Roger Lewington) The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) welcomed 25 walkers from Southwestern and Central Ontario that have walked the EI Camino Trail to Santiago de Compostela in north- west Spain on July 24. The group enjoyed a walk on the BRVTA's Woodland Trail. They also took some time at the village's Trinity Anglican Church to celebrate the Apostle St. James, who is buried in the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. Many Bayfield residents have walked the Camino. These people have great stories to share from their adventure and did so following the local walk over traditional Spanish soup and bread served up in the parish hall at Trinity. The Way of St. James is the pilgrimage to the cathedral, where legend has it that the remains of the apostle, Saint James the Great, are buried. St. James' Way has existed for over 1,000 years. It was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times. It is believed that his remains were carried by boat from Jerusalem to northern Spain where they were buried on the site of what is now the city of Santiago de Compostela. There is no single route; the Way can take one of any number of pilgrimage routes to the cathedral including through Portugal, Spain, England, France and Switzerland. The distances vary widely from a couple of hundred kilometers to over a thousand kilometers. The participants were able to share stories of hiking through the Pyrenees Mountains to walking through French villages and vineyards. Several people had made the trek from several points and had made a number of trips. Hikers are able to set their own pace and cover as much of the way as they can in the time they have available. For accommodation, there are hostels along the way that are organized by each of the particular trails. The most popular route, which gets very crowded in mid -summer, is the Camino Frances which stretches nearly 500 miles from St. Jean -Pied -du -Port near Biarritz in France to Santiago. The network is similar to a river system - small brooks join together to make streams, and the streams join together to make rivers, most of which join together to make the Camino Frances. During the middle ages, people walked out of their front doors and started off to Santiago, which was how the network grew up. Today, cheap air travel has afforded people the opportunity to fly to their starting point, and often to do different sections in successive years. Some people set out on the Camino for spiritual reasons; many others find spiritual reasons along the Way as they meet other pilgrims, attend pilgrim masses in churches and monasteries The lawn of The Village Book Shop, on Catherine St., is the perfect place for a midsummer tryst with a favorite author. On Aug. 6, the store will host, A Midsummer Night's Reading with D J McIntosh, author of The Witch of Babylon. Gary Davidson Group and Beate Bowron Etc generously sponsor this reading. This event will begin at 7 p.m. and is free of charge. Participants are reminded to bring lawn chairs or beach blankets. On Aug. 21 The Little Inn of Bayfield will play host to a Books and Brunch with Alissa York starting at 12:30 p.m. Tickets for this event are $30. They can be purchased at The Village Bookshop, 20 Catherine St. or by calling 519 565-5600 or emailing Mary Brown.

Pat Cantrick, of Bayfield (right), chatted with Debbie Erb, of Detroit, Michigan (left) and Leslie Liedtke (nee Erb) from Denver, Colorado prior to the cycling portion of the event. PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Monday, Aug. 1 st, marked the 25th year for the Annual 5 KM Pioneer Park Fun Run, Walk & Roll and by all accounts it was another resounding success. The weather, although a little humid, was perfect for this summer morning event that proved to be the biggest run ever with over 280 people registering either as a participant or as a fan. "This event accomplishes many things and, for me, the most noteworthy is how it brings people of all ages together for a morning of either zipping through town by running, walking or on wheels of some kind for 5 KM or by being a fan and cheering the racers on," said Ann Laudenbach, event organizer. Those who took part could do so by running, walking, biking, or blading. Individuals are often quite creative with the wheels they choose to use. Leashed dogs were welcome to join in the fun. There were prizes awarded in each category in four different age groups, plus prizes were also awarded to those who demonstrated a special effort. The prizes were very generously donated by various local merchants, personal businesses and other individual sponsors. "Although not everyone is a winner in their category, the objective of the event is not about winning - it's about being a part of something bigger than yourself, it's about setting a goal and trying your hardest for 5 KM which is not easy," said Laudenbach. "It's about learning how to win and lose gracefully, it's about giving back, making a difference, and most importantly, it's about understanding we're all connected and embracing these moments." Laudenbach would like to extend thanks to all who participated in this fundraising event for the upkeep of Pioneer Park. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week321ssue109/tabid/519/Default.aspx 6/11 5/27/2019 Week 32 Issue 109 Look closely at this photo and you will see pictured at centre three year-old Owen Wilson, a summer resident, ready to ride with the big boys and girls in the bike race.

Foot power or pedal power is all that is needed to enter this family friendly event, oh, and a helmet too if you're a minor. "Huge thanks to the race crew who once again sacrificed their long -weekend Monday morning to help organize and execute what has truly become an annual tradition in the park."

RAYFIRLD 519.56&4711 SUBMISSIONS COPEN1HAGENS Civic Holiday weekend falls in the heart of summer. Perhaps this is why it is a favorite time for family gatherings for isn't family where the heart is? On Sunday, I had the pleasure of meeting the descendants of Jack and Elinor Rourke at their most recent reunion. I was first introduced to this family when they submitted a story for one of the Bayfield Breeze's first issues and members check in from time to time with encouraging emails as this publication continues to evolve. So it was wonderful to finally meet face-to-face and have the opportunity to photograph the group — all eighty-three of them. Melody Falconer -Pounder Then it was off to a gathering of my own family as we celebrated the first birthday of my great nephew, Jackson. It was a slightly smaller affair but no less jovial with a first cake to sample and gifts to tear into. It was also terrific to have some time with my grandson, Graham, who is fast approaching two months of age. Observing the two little cousins together at the party was first-hand evidence of how quickly babies develop in those first 12 months of life. And my meeting with the Rourke Family was an added testament to what can grow from the loving union of one couple. This is also something I have seen first-hand with my husband's family. When I officially joined the clan in 1991 we tallied 14 and now we can boast 23. And that, as I'm sure the Rourke family will concur, does a heart good. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
