A number of new artifacts have been acquired at the Bayfield Archives, the most popular of which is an old
homemade diving helmet donated from the late Stu Atkinson's estate. In this photo, Bayfield Historical Society
President, Bill Rowat, tries on the helmet while Archivist Ralph Laviolette mans the bicycle pump which
supplied air to the helmet wearer during underwater exploration. (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.
TOWN HALL
A retirement party is being held for Joe Perlement
and you are invited. 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. His family and friends invite you to
celebrate and join in the fun!
This retirement party will also provide an unique
fundraising opportunity for the Bayfield Town Hall.
Those who wish to attend the "Black Pearl Murder
Mystery Dinner" should be quick to get a ticket for the
evening that shall include a three -course dinner and
a cash bar. Tickets are $35 and are available now
from Pat Langley 519 565-2894 or Judy Keightley
519 565-4515.
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.
FITNESS FUN
The time has come to get back into the routines of
autumn and fitness for both mind and body is once
again a focus. One Care is sponsoring several
programs for both men and women to stay fit over.
Dancefit and Toning classes are held on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays at 9 a.m. The cost is $40
for four months or $3 per class. The Sit and Get Fit

Week 44 Issue 121
This past July and August, for the first time in many years, the Archives Room was open daily,
staffed entirely by volunteers. 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.

ISSUE 120
In Issue 120, children, including a couple local Boy
Scouts, took part in the dedication ceremony for the
new school held in May of 1956. It would appear that
a portrait of Queen Elizabeth the Second was
recognized before it was hung in the school. The
records name five out of the six individuals in this
photo. Does anyone recognize who is who? They
are listed as Dave Corrie, Brenda Blair, Ted Turner,
Janice Merner and Jim Cameron.

PINJLATED - IMAGE OF THE WEEK
The Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce
recently unveiled the result of their second
calendar project created to not only raise funds for
the chamber but community groups and
merchants as well.
The 2012 Bayfield Calendar features photography
by Jack Pal, Cate Cuerden, Dianne Brandon,
Kristyn Watterworth, Maggie Brennan and Gary
Lloyd -Rees.
2011 marked the first calendar initiative and it is
reported that this unique reminder of the heritage
village on a Great Lake was sent to family and
friends around the world.
The calendar is now available for purchase for
$10 and would make a great holiday or customer
appreciation gift. They are available from many
merchants on Bayfield's Main Street, as well as
some community and church groups.

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.
