OLD FAMILY FARMS INVITED TO
CELEBRATE WITH SIGNAGE
WEEKEND TRADGEDY
At around 4 p.m. on Sept. 2, a holiday weekend
turned tragic when the village fire siren sounded,
then several emergency vehicles, including the police
boat being towed by a police vehicle, were seen
speeding through town. Later helicopters began
patrolling the lakeshore.
A 53 year-old man from Atwood, ON is missing and
presumed drowned after jumping from a 30 foot
pleasure craft into Lake Huron about eight KMs from
Bayfield.
According to the Huron Perth County Crime News
website, as of 6 p.m. Sept. 3, the search for the man
was continuing. A second man, a 62 year-old from

This sign is proudly displayed at the home of Dave and Carol Steckle. Their 1865 Century Farm is located at
74101 Bronson Line. It has been in the family for 147 continuous years and is best known as Huron Ridge
Acres. (Photo courtesy of the Bluewater Heritage Advisory Committee)
Families who have owned their farms for 100 years or longer are encouraged to celebrate their
heritage by joining the Junior Farmers' Century Farm Sign (CFS) program.
In 1967, the Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario (JFAO) started the Century Farm Sign
Project to celebrate Canada's Centennial. In 2017, farms that were 100 years old in 1967, will
be 150 years old. And, in two years, the first Junior Farmers' Clubs, chartered in 1914, will be
100 years old. These anniversaries present a unique opportunity to recognize the historical
value of local agricultural properties.
"I am just delighted to join with the Huron Junior Farmers' Club to celebrate Bluewater's old
family farms. As an owner of three farms that have been in my family for over 100 years, I want
to encourage century farm owners to apply for the Junior Farmers' signs. Let's have one
outside every farm that meets their criteria," said Bill Dowson, Mayor of Bluewater. The
Dowson farms are located on Babylon Line, Concession 9, in the former Township of Stanley.
Two of the farms were purchased from the Canada Company.
In the early days, there was a sign requirement that the farms remained in the name of male
descendants. Times have changed, now it's 100 years or more of continuous "family"
operation.
Samantha Klaver, president of the Huron Junior Farmers' Club, said, "Because of the Century
Farm Sign Project's continued popularity, signs are in great demand and we even get requests
from farms in the province that have been run by the same family for 200 years. The fee for
each sign helps us supports the cost of the program and leadership development in our clubs."
The Municipality of Bluewater and its Heritage Committee have partnered with the Huron
Junior Farmers' Club (HCJF) to promote the program. Owners may find application forms and
instructions on the Junior Farmers' website at: http://www.jfao.on.ca/what-we-offer/century-
farmsigns/.
Dave MacLaren, chair of the Bluewater Heritage Advisory Committee, said, "The Municipality
also welcomes contact from owners of farms that are 100 years old or more, regardless of
whether they've been in the same family or not, so we'll know where heritage farms are
located.
"A farm may be considered heritage or historically significant because of its age, the years a
family has lived there; the activities of one or more family members for example, a prominent
citizen; the property contains an old tree; or because it was the site of a large-scale or special
event."
North Perth, had also jumped in the water. He was
rescued and remained in stable condition at
Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich.
The names of the victims are being withheld at this
time.
The police report stated, the missing man was the
boat operator. He and another male passenger, a 62
year-old from North Perth, jumped into the water for
a swim. Neither was wearing a personal flotation
device. The waves and wind quickly separated the
pair from the boat and they were unable to swim
back. Passengers on the boat, although
inexperienced were able to maneuver the vessel and
recover the 62 year-old male. He was pulled on
board but not before he was struck by the pitching
vessel and ingested a considerable amount of water.
The 53 year-old male was unable to reach the boat
and slipped beneath the surface. The injured male
was brought to shore and taken to the hospital in
Goderich for treatment.
Emergency personnel responded to the scene after
witnesses on shore saw flares shot from the vessel.
A United States Coast Guard helicopter responded
quickly to the scene and assisted in the search until
RCC Trenton responded to the scene. The RCC
Trenton helicopter, two OPP vessels, two Canadian
Coast Guard vessels along with several private boat
owners searched the area where he was last seen
until dark on Sunday. Officers on ATV's continued to
search along the shoreline. The water search
resumed Monday morning.
As of Monday evening, there were three OPP
vessels, an OPP helicopter and the Provincial
Underwater Search and Recovery Unit at the scene.
Two ATV's were also being used to search the
shoreline.
Editor's Update: Just before noon on Sept. 5,
Gordon Van Dyke, 53, of Elma Township
(Atwood), was found deceased by an OPP officer
from the Huron County detachment in Lake
Huron south of Bayfield.
HISTORICAL SOCIETY
"In response to many villager requests, we now have
a supply of a full-size copy of the Cameron Plan of
the Town of Bayfield dated 1856 for sale," said Bill
Rowat, president of the Bayfield Historical Society
(BHS). "It measures 24 in. by 33 in. and shows the
original cracklature (old paper marks) of the copy the
Bayfield Archives has."
According the BHS, the Honorable Malcolm
Cameron had the map commissioned. He had
purchased all the outstanding unsold lots from Baron
Van Tuyll in 1854 and did a new survey after
reducing the lot sizes from Van Tuyll's plan.

PRACTICE OF TAOIST TAI CHI COMING

Doug Brown, of Bayfield, is hoping to lift the spirits of Bayfield and area residents by helping

The Bayfield Archives on Main Street is open
Wednesday and Saturday afternoons from 1-4 p.m.

organization and those who join the Bayfield group will be affiliated with the Stratford group.
The beginners' class will be held at the Bayfield Town Hall from 9-11 a.m. on Thursdays
starting on Sept. 27 and will run for 12 weeks. The cost is $32 a month and this includes
membership at the Stratford branch.
"After people complete the beginners' class then they could extend their membership and
continue classes in Stratford," said Brown, who is now an accredited, volunteer instructor.
Master Moy Lin -shin introduced Taoist Tai Chi to Canada upon his immigration to this country
in 1970. According to their organization's website, in 1984, the International Centre was
established in a rural location near Orangeville and quickly became a gathering place for
practitioners from around the world to study and train. In 1998, Master Moy died, but his legacy
continues as his students work to ensure that present and future generations will continue to
be able to benefit from what he taught.
The Taoist tradition teaches that a person's health depends on the harmony of body and mind.
Taoist Tai Chi offers a variety of activities to help people with their physical, mental and spiritual
health at all stages of their life. Practice of the Taoist arts can improve strength, flexibility,
balance and circulation and can help calm the mind and cultivate the heart, transforming one
into a healthier and more harmonious person.
"Master Moy established 108 moves that are taught in the beginners' class and improved upon
in the extended classes," said Brown. "As we do the practice as a group people get their cues
from those around them when they are first learning.
1 enjoy the attitude of the organization as it promotes passion, humbleness and integrity as
well as offering both physical and psychological benefits."
The program is offered for both the old and young and the moves can be adapted to suit a
person's physical conditioning. People can learn more about Fung Loy Taoist Tai Chi by
attending an one-hour Open House to be held at the Bayfield Town Hall on Sept. 20 starting at
10 a.m.

In the Spring, the Sparks, Brownies and Guides from Bayfield visited a museum in Auburn to learn about the
tools of yesterday. What adventures await for their new season? Girls are encouraged to register on-line prior
to Sept. 18 to find out firsthand. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder)
Attention girls and young women of the community, have you slept overnight among all the
fabulous exhibits at the Ontario Science Centre? Have you ever gotten your hands dirty
planting a tree or made your own handmade drum? Have you ever designed your own float for
the Santa Claus parade, laid a wreath at the village cenotaph, or learned about rescuing
wildlife?
If you were a member of Bayfield Guiding last year you could answer, "yes" to all those
questions. Why not join them this year?
The benefits of being a member of Bayfield Guiding are many — girls enjoy trying a variety of
new skills in a comfortable, relaxed environment. They also learn an appreciation of the world
around them by exploring their own great outdoors as well as taking a virtual look at countries
far, far away. They are instilled with the desire to do service for their community, their
environment and for others across the globe. And perhaps above all they develop confidence
and make lasting friendships all in the name of fun!
The season lasts from mid-September to early June.
Bayfield Guiding has openings for Sparks, aged 5-6 years; Brownies, aged 7-8 years; Guides
aged 9-12 years; Pathfinders, aged 12-15 years; and Rangers, aged 15-17 years. Women
interested in becoming leaders are also welcome to contact the number listed below for more
information.
The groups meet, with the exception of the Pathfinders and Rangers, on Tuesday afternoons
from 5:30-7 p.m. at Trinity Anglican Church, 10 Keith Cres. (doors open at 5:15 p.m.) The
Pathfinders and Rangers will meet twice monthly at the Bayfield Village Inn on alternate
Wednesdays from 6:30-9 p.m.
The first meeting of the year for Sparks, Brownies and Guides will be held at Trinity Church on
Sept. 18. All girls in these age groups are invited to come out and see if Guiding would be of
interest to them.
Pathfinders and Rangers will have their first meeting on Sept. 26. And again anyone interested
in joining is welcome to attend to learn more about what being a senior member of Guiding is
all about.
If you would like to reserve a spot for your daughter please phone Melody Falconer -Pounder at
519 565-2443 or email her at bvi@tcc.on.ca. Registration to be a member of Girl Guides of
Canada is now exclusively on-line. Parents can register their daughters prior to the first
meeting by visiting https://register.girlguides.ca/ use the postal code NOM 1 GO to find the
Bayfield branches.
Renowned ragtime pianist and raconteur, Bob Milne,
will be returning to the Bayfield Town Hall for a
performance on Sept. 15.
Milne is an outstanding pianist specializing in
ragtime, boogie-woogie and the player piano styles
of the turn -of -the -century. He is highly sought after
not only as a performer but also as a lecturer and
educator in the field of ragtime, improvisation, music
theory and history.
For three days in 2004, Milne was filmed during a
series of interviews at the United States Library of
Congress, so that his knowledge and talent would be
documented for future generations. At the
conclusion, he was declared, "a national treasure".
Milne will begin to tickle the ivories at 8 p.m. The
doors will open at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets are selling for $20 and are available now by
calling Charlie Kalbfleisch at 519 565-2244 or

All proceeds from the concert will go toward the
maintenance of The Bayfield Town Hall. The Bayfield

for their generous sponsorship of this event.

The Huron Land Trust Conservancy Area is shown on this map.
The year 2012 marks 60 years of land acquisitions in Ausable Bayfield watersheds to preserve
and protect natural areas for the future.
It was 1952 when the former Ausable River Conservation Authority (ARCA) first began to
purchase important parcels of land to protect soil, water, and living things. That year, the ARCA
purchased land, with important ecological features, from at least eight local families. The
acquired land was located in Hay Swamp, west of Exeter; the Adams-Klopp Tract, northeast of
Zurich; and in Parkhill, now site of Parkhill Conservation Area.
Six decades later, those natural lands continue to provide environmental benefits such as,
habitat for birds and animals, protection of water quality and quantity, and limiting the loss of
trees.
Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) has acquired many other significant areas of
land over the past six decades through purchases and donations. ABCA continues to look at
the strategic acquisition of lands in important natural areas through a long-term land
securement plan.
A diverse community group that met between 2010 and 2011 to develop a new Conservation
Strategy encouraged ABCA to "acquire conservation lands strategically in order to conserve
healthy habitat, forest conditions, water quality and water quantity."
The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation (ABCF) has preserved and protected natural
areas as well since the foundation's incorporation in 1974. Since then the ABCF has received
gifts of land, applied for grants for the acquisition of land for future preservation and donated
towards the purchase of important natural areas.
The ABCF also offered a new opportunity for people to donate land or gifts in a larger area
through the creation of the Huron Tract Land Trust Conservancy (HTLTC). The Land Trust was
created in 2011 with a new volunteer board of directors from diverse walks of life. The board
oversees the land trust, which seeks to preserve some natural properties throughout the area
of the historic Huron Tract, an area that stretches north from Arkona and includes Lucan,
Goderich, Stratford, Exeter, Bayfield, Clinton, and Seaforth, among other communities.
"Local municipalities, landowners, and the conservation authority showed vision sixty years
ago when land was acquired for the benefit of future generations," said Roger Lewington, chair
of the HTLTC Board of Directors. "We encourage people to consider donations in order to
leave a land legacy for the future."
For information on lands that have been preserved visit abca.on.ca For information on how you
can leave a local land legacy for the future, in the area of the historic Huron Tract, visit htltc.ca

Bayfield Tree Project (BTP). Residents are
encouraged to keep watering these trees.
New trees need one inch (2.5 cm) of water per week
to survive. A slow trickle of water over several hours
is the best method. Trees planted by the BTP can be
found on Louisa, Anne, Charles, Howard, Colina and

THE ART OF SEEING EXPLORED AT
EVENING HOSTED BY PHOTO CLUB
T L
The Photography Club of Bayfield (PCoB) will celebrate their first anniversary with a very
special evening for photography enthusiasts of all skill levels when they host a presentation by
photographer, Don Martel.
"Don has an incredible resume that runs over decades including many collaborations with
Freeman Patterson, one of Canada's foremost photographers," said Jack Pal, one of the
PCoB's founding members. "On a personal note, I can tell you that his presentation is
awesome."
According to Martel's website, photography grabbed his attention while studying Business
Administration in college. After working in and traveling for a computer- based career he made
the switch to his true passion — photography. Over the years he devoted much time to
attending photographic workshops as a student eventually evolving into the instructor.

group will be walking the Woodland Trail. Participants
are invited to park at the trail entrance on the David
St. extension. They will set out from there at 8:30
a.m. rain or shine. If on those dates walkers would
prefer to do a Gentle Jaunt in the village, please let

arrangements. Also, Pole Walkers might like to walk
as a group in the Terry Fox Run. Participants will be
walking the Saw Mill Trail and should meet by the
cenotaph at 9:15 a.m. on Sept. 16. Due to this event

The Optimist Club of Bayfield invited all in the
community to come out to their first ever "Open
Mic" in Clan Gregor Square on the afternoon of
Sept. 2 and come out the people did! In fact it was
nearly impossible to find a parking space all
around the square.
It was a family friendly way to wrap up all the fun
of summer before school started on Tuesday
morning.
The afternoon featured some excellent
performances by: "The Donnybrooks", "Aces
High", Danielle Durand, Brett Pitblado, Gerard
Creces, and Richard Gracious. Plus it was
reported that "The Honey Sweethearts" led by
young songstress, Ava Dawe, stole the show. The
young lady sang "I'll be There", "Tomorrow" and
the theme from "Arthur". She was accompanied
by her parents Steve, on guitar, and Heather, on
drums.
The youngsters were kept busy with crafts,
parachute games, bubbles and a music station.
And folks really brought their appetites as
organizers noted that over 100 hamburgers and
hotdogs were consumed along with popcorn,
water and juice boxes.
A unique way to get those creative juices flowing
was also offered — for a toonie — you could leave
your artistic mark on a derelict, white F150. When
the day was done the truck wasn't white any
longer!
People also brought forth their generosity filing
the donation boxes provided at the event with
coins and bills. The money raised from this event
will go toward youth oriented activities and
projects sponsored by the Optimist Club of
Bayfield.
The club members would like to extend thanks to
Jeff Graham, of Bayfield, for providing the idea,
not to mention the musical talents, for this event.
The membership was inspired by his enthusiasm

and couldn't be more pleased with the end result.
Members of the Optimist Club of Bayfield were
approached by Jeff Graham with the idea or
creating an "end" of summer musical
fundraiser. What evolved was "Open Mic" and it
included a barbecue. Optimist Brenda Kinnear
displayed the hotdogs and hamburgers all
ready to be devoured by hungry attendees.
Vada Purser, of Goderich, enjoyed making her own
music to accompany the bands that performed
during "Open Mic" in Clan Gregor Square on Sunday
afternoon.

SUBMISSIONS
How many times as a child did I play pretend wedding — it was almost always out of doors and on the farm where I grew up. I'd
march down the front steps, imaginary bouquet in hand, until I reached the magnificent weeping birch on our front lawn where
my imaginary groom awaited.
So it was a lot of fun to watch my young cousin practically reenact that scenario on Saturday afternoon when she and her
wedding party got ready in the farmhouse. She enjoyed a photo shoot around the home farm and then got married on the
property directly across the road which is now owned by my older cousin, her dad. This place was part of my childhood
ramblings too.
I will always have a special place in my heart for this young bride, for at the age of six she helped me celebrate my own
marriage as a member of my wedding party. From flower girl to bride — she was beautiful at both!
I was married at the end of November; the dream of an outdoor wedding from childhood set aside, but there is no regret. When I walked to the top of the
church aisle on that day all those years ago, my little wedding party of smiling cherubs looked up at me and it was just how I had pictured it — my groom
was imaginary no more! I'm sure our newlywed will be able to make a similar comment as the years pass. Congratulations cousin Erin and welcome to the
family, Ian! - Melody
