TWO BLUE FLAGS CELEBRATED
MISSING PLAQUE
The commemorative plaque that had gone missing
off the Post Office building on Main Street has been
found!
"Thanks to the efforts of one of our Senior Staff
members, the Post Office plaque has been located,
and will be returned to the Municipality for safe
keeping. It is always pleasant to be able to pass on
good news," Geordie Palmer, councilor for the Ward
of Bayfield, Municipality of Bluewater.
The Post Office building was demolished on June 12
to make way for the new library, washrooms and post
office. The plaque is brass and bears the names of
all Bayfield's past Post Masters and Mistresses. The
plan is to have the plaque grace the front of the new
post office when construction is completed.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER
There are two blue flags flying over the Bayfield Main Beach and Municipality of Bluewater
Marina again this year. This is the third consecutive year that the flag has been unfurled over
the village's sandy shore and the fourth time the marina has been given the honor.
Blue Flag is a highly respected and recognized international eco -label. Across Canada there
are only 16 beaches and three marinas that can fly Blue Flags in 2012.
Of the three marinas designated in the country all are on Lake Huron. Grand Bend Marina and
Port Franks Marina were recognized for the honor along with Bluewater. Neighboring
community beaches, Station Beach, Kincardine and the Grand Bend Beach, were among the
16 beaches recognized.
A special duo Blue Flag Ceremony was held late afternoon on June 16 at the Bayfield Main
Beach and Bluewater Marina. Several groups were represented at the ceremony including:
Municipality of Bluewater Council and Staff, County of Huron, Bayfield Ratepayers'
Association, Bayfield Yacht Club, Bayfield River Valley Trail Association and Bayfield and Area
Chamber of Commerce (BACC).
Roger Lewington, president of the BACC, spoke regarding both the environmental and
economic importance of the Blue Flag designations.
"The environmental importance of Lake Huron and the Bayfield River is very significant to our
community. They are significant resources, both locally and globally. Lake Huron and the Great
Lakes are the largest freshwater lakes in the world, holding something like 25 per cent of the
world's fresh water.
1 have been coming to Lake Huron all my life and I treasure the lake and river. We, each and
every one of us, are responsible for the protection and improvement of our local environment
for future generations. We are only the caretakers," said Lewington.
Camp Kintail is returning to Bayfield for the third
consecutive summer.
Knox Presbyterian Church is partnering with Camp
Kintail, the area Presbyterian Church camp, to offer a
Christian based Day Camp every Wednesday at the
church during July and August.
This Day Camp will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The
very capable and well-trained young adult staff of
Camp Kintail will lead the program and activities. The
camp will be for children who have completed JK up
to Grade 6. The children are welcome to attend all
eight sessions or just one or two.
The first camp will begin on July 4. The program will
conclude on Aug. 22. Lunch and snacks are
provided.
Registration for each session is held at 8:30 a.m. on
the day but participants may also pre -register by
calling Brenda McLean at 519 524-8645 or by calling
the church 519 565-2913 and leaving a message.

they are hosting and this time around it will be a
fundraising barbeque on July 14.
The event will be held at the church from 4-7:00 p.m.
On the menu will be bratwurst on a bun or a

Roger Lewington, president of the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce, spoke to both the environmental
and economic impacts that Blue Flag recognition has on the community.
He went on to say regarding the economic importance that tourists and visitors come here
primarily because of the lake and river. The tourism industry is a significant part of the
Bluewater and Huron County economies.
"Bayfield is the largest recreational harbor on the eastern shore of all Lake Huron. We have
450 boat slips — creating probably 5 million dollars in direct economic activity. This drives the
economy of the village, which in turn is a major impact in Bluewater and Huron County.
"We need to all do our part in protecting and improving the lake and river. Blue Flag is an
important indicator that we do care, but it is not the end of the journey. We need to celebrate
this today, and continue to do our part to improve this wonderful resource that we have," said
Lewington.
Beaches are awarded the Blue Flag based on compliance with 32 criteria covering
environmental education and information; water quality, environmental management, safety
and services. Marinas must comply with 24 criteria covering the same categories. All Blue
Flags are awarded for one season at a time. If the criteria are not fulfilled during the season or
the conditions change, the Blue Flag may be withdrawn. To learn more about the criteria visit
www.blueflag.org
Huron County Warden, Bernie MacLellan marvelled
at the achievement of the Bluewater Marina being
one of only three marinas in Canada to be granted
Blue Flag status for 2012 during his remarks to the
crowd at the marina flag raising ceremony. He is
flanked by Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for the
Municipality of Bluewater, Steve McAuley (left) and
Huron County's warden, Bernie MacLellan, was
also invited to comment on the Blue Flag
designations at the ceremonies.
"I knew Blue Flag meant clean water but when I
was invited to this event today I looked it up to
learn more. The fact that this is one of just three
marinas recognized in Canada is an
accomplishment. Such an accomplishment
makes the area more attractive to tourists and
that means a lot to us at the county. It is a real
feather in our cap and we appreciate that," said
MacLellan.
"Bluewater Council, staff and residents should

They understand Bayfield, they understand the community and they have worked with us to
achieve Blue Flag."
Environmental Defence is the coordinator of Blue Flag
Canada. They work with beach and marina managers, their
partners, and community stakeholders to achieve the
international Blue Flag award. The Blue Flag International
program is managed by the Foundation for Environmental
Education (FEE), a non-governmental, non-profit organization
promoting sustainable development through environmental
education.
The concept of the Blue Flag was born in France. In 1985,
French coastal municipalities were awarded with the Blue Flag
for complying with sewage treatment and bathing water quality
criteria.
Since 2001, many organizations and authorities outside
Europe wishing for cooperation on spreading the Blue Flag
Program have made applications to FEE.
With the expansion of the program, the criteria became more
rigorous and unified. As of 2006 an international set of criteria
is used with some variation within to reflect the specific
environmental conditions of certain regions.
Sam and Max Dupuis were given
the task of hoisting the Blue Flag
for the Bayfield Main Beach at the
flag raising ceremony held late
Saturday afternoon. They did so
with guidance from Tyler Hessel

Bluewater, and under the watchful
eye of their youthful counterparts.
TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE FOR RCMP
MUSICAL RIDE IN CLINTON
Thirty people attended the recent Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) meeting. The excitement
is growing among their members as the big event they are co -hosting will be held this week.
"The RCMP Musical Ride will arrive at REACH (in Clinton) on June 19 and leave June 22. This
is an event that only comes to Ontario every four years and we are fortunate to co -host it this
year with REACH Huron," said Doug Yeo, BAS president.
Tickets for the 7 p.m. show to be held on June 21 st at the REACH Centre, 169 Beech St. in
Clinton can still be purchased at the Nip 'N Tuck today (June 20). Tickets are $10, for adults;
and $6, for children aged 5-12 years; under five are free. Tickets will also be available at the
gate of the outdoor riding ring at the REACH Centre the evening of the performance, however
these will cost two dollars more. Organizers suggest it might be wise to be there a half hour
early to find parking and get a seat. There will be bleachers for about 3,000. There will be lots
of room also for wheelchairs. The event is outside and warm weather is expected. People can
visit the stables and see the horses when they are there. Those who attend should take a
camera because there will be opportunities to take pictures with a horse and RCMP officer
after the performance.
BAS members thought it would be a unifying feature to have shirts purchased so people could
recognize them as being part of the society. The new BAS shirts arrived, were distributed at the
meeting, and will be worn at the RCMP Musical Ride performance. Anyone in a lime green
shirt likely is a member of the BAS.
Many at the meeting commented on the expanded Flea Market being held every Sunday at
Agricultural Park in Bayfield. There are many new vendors. Anyone with fresh food to sell is
certainly welcome.

FOOD BOX NEEDS A GOOD LEADER
The Huron Good Food Box (HGFB) is seeking a new Lead Volunteer for the program as they

DR JOHN HOWARD NEXT SPEAKER IN
"WORDS OF WELLNESS" SERIES
The sight of young people taking drugs has become more common in recent years. Reference
is not being made to elicit drugs but those drugs found in inhalers that are used to curb the
effects of breathing difficulties commonly associated with asthma.
While it is hard to argue that the advancements in science have produced more sophisticated
products that have provided a more comfortable life style for most of the first world countries, it
could also be argued these advancements have come at a cost to our health.
What are the social, economic and political costs to environmental degradation?
There is a relationship between the state of the environment and our health. On June 21 st, we
have the opportunity to get a better understanding of this relationship when the Alexandra
Marine and General Hospital Foundation (AMGHF) hosts it's second of three lectures in the
"Words of Wellness Lecture Series".
One person who has committed to understanding this relationship is Dr. John Howard. His
main academic interests are in Ecosystem Health, an innovative approach to medicine and
health that recognizes the importance of our physical, social, economic and political
environments in health.
Dr. Howard joined the Children's Hospital of Western Ontario (CHWO) in 2004 after moving his
primary appointment from the Department of Medicine to the Department of Pediatrics. He
undertook subspecialty training in gastroenterology followed by fellowship training at the
National Institutes of Health Bethesda. He has won several awards including the Bocking
Award for Excellence in medical teaching, the Edward G. Pleva Award, the Faculty of
Medicine's Award of Excellence and the Clinician Teacher Award.
Dr. Howard is currently the chair of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the
Environment. CAPE is a group of physicians, allied health care practitioners, and citizens
committed to a healthy and sustainable environment and to better understand how
environmental degradation affects human health.
This "Words of Wellness Lecture" will be held at the Bayfield Town Hall beginning at 7:30 p.m.
The doors to the hall will open at 7:15 p.m. The hall will be set up in a modified cafe style with a
seating capacity of 80. Those who attend will be invited to enjoy a glass of wine as well as view
the work of five local artists.
Tickets for this lecture are $20 and may be obtained from the AMHGF office at 519 524-8689

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
Summer came a little bit early to the heritage
village on a great lake when the 10th annual Sail
and Canvas Festival was held on June 16-17.
Exceptional summer like weather on Saturday
afternoon brought out the crowds who soaked up
the rays and the artsy atmosphere. Rain
threatened on Sunday but thankfully held off until
the end of day.
Over 40 artists set up shop on Main Street and in
Clan Gregor Square complimenting the already
seven galleries that call Main Street home.
Buskers entertained from shady vantage points
and choirs performed both on the street and later
in Pioneer Park. Creative hat contests, heritage
walks, carriage rides and a painted Fiat rounded
out activities.

Week 26 Issue 155
The Glee Sisters performed in the shadow of The Albion Hotel on Saturday afternoon.
One of the more entertaining results of the 10th annual Sail and Canvas Festival occurred when local artist
Kristyn Watterworth was invited to put her signature style on a Fiat 500 from Fiat of London.
o ,
Amanda Rowe's cat paintings
caught the eye of many people who ventured past her display in front of the
Marten Arts Gallery.
The 10th Annual Sail and Canvas Festival
was blessed with amazing weather on
Saturday drawing people to the village to
look at the art and listen to the musical
talents set up along Main Street and in Clan
Gregor Square. It wasn't quite as sunny on
Sunday but the rain did hold off until the
conclusion of the event.
Suzette Terry, of Kitchener, ON, displayed several
pieces at the festival including this figurative piece
supporting the marine theme of the event.
Candice Sherriff, of London, is one of the
owners of the Kula Hoop Co. They make
handmade custom and signature hula hoops.
She was kept busy on Saturday showing
visitors to the gardens at Kryart Studios just
how to best use the hoops.

Week 26 Issue 155
Skip Izon, of Shadow River Boatworks, in Grand Bend, stands behind one of his handcrafted kayaks.
David Vasquez, of Toronto, and owner of "Innersoul Art" displayed several of his pieces at the Sail and Canvas
Festival. He noted that his depiction of decaying leaves was a very time consuming piece to create as he wanted
to make it as realistic as possible and needed to keep adding light to it to do so. The piece is unique as it can be
hung four different ways; he signs the back of his work to accommodate this.
Driftwood and Paper Mache Artist Nancy
Plummer, of St. Mary's, worked on one
of her more delicate pieces during the
festival on Saturday afternoon.
Gerhard Von Harpe, whose work was on
display in front of Marten Arts Gallery, drifted
across the street to visit with Tony Eyamie, of
Patina Studios (seated), during the 10th
annual Sail and Canvas Festival.
Tony Eyamie, kept busy on the pottery wheel during
the weekend. He was set up in front of the new
Patina Studios on Main Street.

Richard Garvey (right) shared his music with all who passed in front of Kryart Studios on Main Street.
The abstract art of Craig Greenwood, of London, left quite an impression on the village streetscape.
Nancy Plummer's colorful driftwood and paper mache art made for a very eye-catching exhibit in front of Shared
Times on Main Street on Saturday afternoon.
Joey Cooke, 8, of St. Joseph, was the centre of
attention when he received the award for his most
artistic "Mad Hat" during Saturday's "Mad Hatter
Contest" held in conjunction with the Sail and
Canvas Festival. He was presented the award by
Caroline Harnett, of the Sail and Canvas Committee.
Blake Evans won the "Mad Hatter"
Award for the best hat depicting a
marine theme.

Week 26 Issue 155
So this past Saturday marked a first for my husband and I. We got to stroll down Main Street in Bayfield on a Saturday in June.
Over two decades as a couple and I can honestly say that has never happened before. He even treated to some gelato — quite
the charmer!
As all the stars aligned to allow us both to sneak away from our business for a little while he joined me while I took pictures and
talked with visiting artists during the Sail and Canvas Festival. I must say the 10th annual was a stellar event and I tip my "mad
hat" to the committee members of the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce for organizing and executing it so well.
Happy first day of summer one and all! May we find more time in the next 94 days to enjoy moments like Saturday - after all
they are the perfect excuse to consume more ice cream. - Melody
