The Municipality of Bluewater received a Four Blooms rating from Communities in Bloom (CIB) Ontario on Oct.
20 at a ceremony held in Toronto. The award, and a Special Mention Award for the Bayfield River Valley Trail
Association, were accepted by Jim Fergusson, left, Carol Steckle, centre, and Kay Wise, right, all members of
the local planning committee, from CIB Judges Kristen McIntyre and Marie Huxter. (Submitted photo)
For the second consecutive year it is Four Blooms for Bluewater!
The municipality earned this recognition for environmental stewardship and community
involvement from Communities in Bloom Ontario on Oct. 20 at a ceremony held in Toronto. The
highest rating is Five Blooms.
The provincial organization also awarded Four Blooms to Bluewater in 2010 the first year the
municipality had entered the competition.
"I'm delighted with Four Blooms," said Kay Wise, of Hensall, planning committee chair. "When
you raise the bar, it's tough to stay there."
High-profile municipal environmental programs such as the international Blue Flag designation
of the Bayfield Marina for two consecutive years and large volunteer projects like the building
of five trails in the Bayfield and Stanley areas contributed to the high blooms rating.
A Special Mention Award was also bestowed on the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association
(BRVTA) for building 14 KMs of trails in four years.
"The partnership has benefitted Bluewater well, the volunteers are as effective as hired staff,"
noted the Blooms judges. "We were impressed to learn that an adjoining landowner to the
Sawmill Trail provided the materials and built a viewing deck on this property for hikers. The
neighbor also maintains the upper half of the trail."
"To get a Communities in Blooms award, when they recognize an achievement, that's a
significant award, and it says a lot for the contribution of that organization to the community,
added Planning Committee Co-chair Jim Fergusson, of Bayfield.
Communities in Bloom hold competitions at the provincial, national and international levels.
The Municipality of Bluewater participated at the provincial level with municipalities of a similar
size including South Huron.
From taxpayer information bulletins, road maintenance and recycling programs to by-law
enforcement, every member of municipal staff has teamed up with community volunteers to
make strides in the municipality's environmental stewardship program.
"Municipal staff ought to be proud," said Chief Administrative Officer Lori Wolfe.
"The hard work of volunteers and staff have once again lead to Bluewater achieving a Four
Bloom rating, and all individuals involved in this great achievement are deserving of a heart -felt
and sincere thank you," added Utilities Manager Brent Kittmer.
Fergusson said Bluewater is fortunate to have so many urban and rural assets to highlight for
the competition, adding it's up to its citizens to take advantage of these opportunities.
Communities in Blooms judges noted the contributions of BRVTA members David Gillians and

CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
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.

Roger Lewington, both of Bayfield; municipal council as well as committee members Wise,
Fergusson and Heather Redick, of Zurich, who together produced a 30 -page profile book on
Bluewater's assets, environmental programs and volunteer efforts for the competition.
Municipal council supports these programs with its decisions and continuing interest.
"Volunteer spirit is high," commented the Blooms judges, referring to volunteers on the
planning committee and in the general community, many of which were mentioned in the 2011
profile book. The judges were also impressed with actors and volunteers involved in a summer
outdoor performance, Narcisse. One of the two judges assigned to Bluewater remarked to
Wise during the award ceremony, it was a toss up between the play and the trail association for
the Special Mention Award. The trail association was selected as it has sustainable benefits.
Volunteers in the St. Joseph and Area Historical Society presented the play. The members of
this organization act as caretakers of a small museum in memory of Narcisse Cantin and the
families who founded the community of St. Joseph.

conservation agreements with property owners. Land trusts
are committed to protecting those lands and properties
permanently. Information about land trusts in Ontario can be

of directors made up of community -minded citizens.
"Landowners throughout this historic area of Ontario now have a land -trust donation option as
one way they can leave a lasting legacy for our environmental future," he said. "Land trusts are
important institutions that provide assurance to donors that their gift will offer a nature legacy
for generations to come."

SALVATION ARMY BAND TO MAKE
On Nov. 25 the Bayfield Town Hall will welcome back the London Citadel Salvation Army Band
for their sixteenth annual Christmas Concert. Their appearance on the town hall stage is a
holiday tradition for many and should not be missed. In case of inclement weather the concert
will be held on Dec. 2.
The London Citadel Band got its start in 1883. By the early 19OOs the band was in demand and
performed in such cities as Windsor and Detroit. In the last 128 years the groups' horizons
have broadened considerably and they have traveled to England twice as well as the west
coast of Canada and parts of the USA.
Bandmaster John Lam, a native of Owen Sound, joined the band in 1985. Ten years later he
became Bandmaster and that year he brought the band to the town hall. Since then they have
returned annually except for one year when they were "snowed out".
Show time is 8 p.m. and tickets are selling for $10 per person. For tickets call Charles
Kalbfleisch at 519 565-2244 or Pat Langley at 519 565-2894 or online at ticketscene.ca.
Coincidentally, the Salvation Army began in Canada in 1882, the same year that the Bayfield
Town Hall was built. All proceeds from the concert will go to The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage
Society for the maintenance of the hall.

On Oct. 29, in front of 80 Bayfield citizens, a
murder was witnessed, a sham was exposed and
a murderess was arrested.
As a fundraiser for the Bayfield Town Hall, and
with half of the proceeds going to the Goderich
Tornado Relief Fund, a murder mystery dinner
play was held on the occasion of the retirement
party of Joseph Perlement - founder of Bayfield
River Pearls (BRP).
Unfortunately for Joe, after having been serenely
serenaded by the singing siren Lisa Love from
Las Vegas, he abruptly died from eating poisoned
oysters.
In the time that it took the paramedics to arrive,
and for poor Joe to be declared dead, the guests
managed to eat their main course, listen to a
business presentation on BRP, and be further
moved by the melodious melodies of Lisa Love.
The intrepid team of Inspector Morsel and
Sergeant Lewis arrived on the scene of the crime
and during dessert they managed to interview all
the suspects and solve the crime. Joe was
identified as a reckless gambler and philanderer,
and BRP pearls exposed as a total sham. The
mistress Katrina, the dipsomaniacal son
Jonathan, insider -dealing Marketing Director
Nigel, front of house manager, Mimi "I wouldn't do
such a thing" Remital, the eccentric Aunty Lulu,
the flame -haired, multi -married Lady Constance
and the long suffering wife Suzanne were all
under suspicion. Finally, Babs, the "not so loving"
daughter, was identified as the murderer and led
away, defiantly, in handcuffs.
The talented local cast was comprise of Doug
Brown, Judith Gooding, Barb Harmos Philip
Keightley, Helen Latimer, Gary Lloyd -Rees, Kate
Lloyd -Rees, Bill Rowat, Jerry Selk, Lisa Stewart,
Jamie Thomas and Carol Thornley -Hall. Judy
Keightley was both the director and playwright
while Larry Langan acted as producer. The cast's
enthusiasm was matched by the "family and
friends" in attendance. Bronwyn Bechard and
Helen Varekamp, aided by a stellar catering crew,
put on a tremendous meal that complimented the
evening's entertainment splendidly.
To help the investigation, guests submitted their
own choice of murderer: Aunty Lulu being the
"people's choice" - although a few guests made
some truly bizarre suggestions - perhaps a case
of spending too much time with Jonathan?
Will the Inspector and Sergeant have to return to
Bayfield in the future? Time will tell ...

My brother-in-law's father had a knack for making you feel like the most beautiful young lady in the room. When he
saw you his eyes would shine and he would grin broadly and then he'd land a quick kiss on your cheek before he
was off on another adventure. He was the most vivacious individual I have ever met. He was filled with light and love
for all.
John Fisher, 86, may have left this world on Oct. 26 but he left an indelible mark on this community through his involvement in
the Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) and the Bayfield Historical Society (BHS).
He was a member of the BAS since 1965 receiving an Honorary Life Membership in the fall of 2009. For over four decades,
John ran the Games and Events portion of the weekend. These special events were organized for the youth at the fair. His
ability to do the rope climb, until about nine years ago, is a legendary part of fair history.
"I could probably still climb it too, but Ina (his wife) would get after me," he told me just a couple of years ago.
John was also passionate about history and collecting. Every year at the annual BHS Collector's Show he was there and always with a new display, in fact
three generations of Fishers could also be found there as collecting was something he instilled in both his children and grandchildren.
And even before he served his community, he served his country. He was a veteran of WWII and a 15 -year veteran of NATO RCAF Service.
The sympathy of the community is sent to his wife of over 65 years, Ina, as well as their five children, 11 grandchildren and nine great grandsons.
Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will take place at the Betty Cardno Centre, 317 Huron Road, in Clinton on Nov. 5 from 2-4 p.m. As
expressions of sympathy, donations (by cheque only) may be sent to the Clinton Public Hospital Foundation. - Melody
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m.
