(Photos by Melody Falconer -Pounder) A little ingenuity and some elbow grease have given 20 Main Street a fresh new look. The building at that address is home to the Bayfield Historical Society's Archives Room (BHS). It has undergone an interior facelift over the summer to make it more spacious for interpretative and publication displays as well as a larger work area. Helen Varekamp, of Huron Hearth and Home, came up with a design to improve the use of the small space. A vast amount of archival material and several filing cabinets were moved to off- site storage at the Bayfield Town Hall. Archivist Ralph Laviolette put on his carpenter's hat to enlarge the shelving along the walls. Phil Gemeinhardt donated a new archivist's desk. New mobile display racks have been acquired to better display historical publications and prints. Plus Carl Richardson built a beautiful large "antique" table to replace the old mismatched smaller ones. Carl Richardson takes a seat at the beautiful large "antique" table he built for the Archives Room. This larger workspace was made to replace the old mismatched smaller tables formerly in the space. A number of new artifacts have been acquired, the most popular of which is an old homemade diving helmet donated from the late Stu Atkinson's estate. The helmet was used, among other things, to do spring underwater inspections of the wharf to see what ice damage had occurred over the winter. The helmet had heavy lead weights to keep the wearer from floating to the surface while he walked the riverbed. Air was supplied through a rubber tube with a friend feverously pumping on a bicycle pump up above. No fatalities were recorded. A large portion of the Archive's collection of pictures, postcards and documents has been put on disc and a new larger monitor has been acquired to show these treasures to the public. The recently re -discovered Agnes Metcalf watercolors of Bayfield circa 1900 are on display; prints are for sale and society members suggest these would make a great Christmas gift. Also for sale at the Archive's Room are Bayfield 2012 Calendars. These are selling for $10 each with proceeds dedicated to cover the production costs of Dave Gillians' upcoming history of Bayfield. Those people receiving the shot are asked to wear a top with sleeves that will roll up easily and also bring their CHIP Health Card.

It is to be held at The Bayfielc Town Hall on Oct. 29 at 6:30 p.m. Perlement will be celebrating his long awaited retirement from Bayfield River Pearls, a thriving, award winning company that he established over twenty years ago.

OPTIlVIIST CLUB Bayfield "Hearts" Goderich was a fundraising campaign established by the Optimist Club of Bayfield just hours after the tornado struck on Aug. 21. Club members placed collection boxes in prominent locations around the village to accept cash donations and "spare" change. The Optimists are pleased to announce that over $790 was collected. The campaign concluded on Thanksgiving Weekend. The money collected was given to the Goderich Salvation Army to help people affected by the disaster.

As a result compared to 2010 figures, the number of visitors tripled reaching 475 and sales of publications and prints plus donations quadrupled. The majority of visitors were tourists with an interest in the village's history. The Saturday walking tours also proved to be as popular as ever. During the off season, the Archives Room is open Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and the membership of the BHS encourages visitors to check out their new look in person soon. The Bayfield Archives has a new more spacious look due to the efforts of many volunteers. ST.

LAKE HURON This week I had the rare opportunity to go on a couple of day trips into the southern reaches of our fair province. The travel days we picked really couldn't have been more splendid weather wise — perfect October days, sunshine spilling over fields browning with autumn harvest and coloring leaves glistening in the sun. Mindful of this month's assignment for the newly organized Photography Club of Bayfield my eye was especially engaged by these autumn scenes, as an image or two of "fall colors" is what the club membership will be sharing at the next meeting. Much to my surprise and pride I discovered the most vibrant fall colors could be seen rounding the curve on Hwy. 21 at Clan Gregor Square. Yes, after driving some significant distances, I found my best inspiration for a picture right here in Bayfield. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week441ssuel21/tabid/532/Default.aspx 6/7 5/27/2019 Week 44 Issue 121 Anyone wanting to learn more about the Photography Club of Bayfield should plan to attend their next meeting to be held Nov. 3 at the Bayfield Lions Community Building starting at 7 p.m. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfr-eld Breeze are always welcome.
