OPTLVIIST CLUB
The Optimist Club of Bayfield would like to
encourage everyone in the community to vote for the
Bayfield Splash Pad project in the second round of
voting in the AVIVA Community Fund Competition.
The club now has over 400 voting supporters and
well over 1,000 votes but the main objective is to
make it to the semi-finals and to do that a lot more
support will need to be generated. If the club makes
it to the finals they could share in a portion of one
million dollars in grant money being offered by AVIVA
insurance. Any amount granted would be a great
help in raising the approximately $150,000 needed to
construct a Splash Pad in Clan Gregor Square.
All people need to vote is an email address, they can
vote once a day per address, it is important to

The Bayfield Agricultural Society membership has begun making wreaths to be sold out in front of St.
Andrew's United Church on Christmas in Bayfield Weekend. Stonefield Garden Centre was the site of a wreath
making bee on Oct. 29. Busy creating wreaths were I -r: Doug Yeo, Bayfield Agriculture Society president;
Jentje Steenbeek, owner of Stonefield Garden Centre; Joan Brodie, Jean Dunn and Kathleen Siertsema,
society members. The wreaths are perfect for Christmas decorating and will brighten a door all winter long. If
you would like to order a wreath in advance of the sale or help with their crafting please contact Don Brodie at

Mark Beaven, the recently appointed general manager of the Ontario Association of
Agricultural Societies (OAAS), spoke at the October meeting of the Bayfield Agricultural
Society. He addressed concerns about the Ontario government's new approach with the
racehorse industry. He also expressed that he considers fairs to be an integral part of rural
Ontario.
It is the mandate of OAAS to create greater awareness of where and how our food is
produced. Beaven plans to attempt to point Agricultural Societies to where they can get their
questions answered. Members of the Bayfield society suggested it would like more commodity
groups involved at the fair and assistance with issues around midways.
Mention was made at the meeting of the passing of Marg Bowers. She entered exhibits and
helped in the culinary arts section. She was a very positive member of the BAS and will be
missed.
The Emergency Plan was briefly presented at the meeting. The members approved a policy on
Volunteer Appreciation. They also supported the Bayfield Ratepayers' Association in their
efforts to make crossing Hwy. 21 safer.
Some of the members attended the Annual Meeting of District 8 for Agricultural Societies. They
were most pleased to learn that Jordan Berard won the junior cookies competition and Cate
Thompson won the K -Grade 4 poster competition against all the other fairs in the District.
The Bayfield Agricultural Society membership has wreath making down to a fine art. John Siertsema (left) and

Homes for the Holiday, a tour of homes decorated in
anticipation of the festive season, to be held on Nov. 3-4, is
sure to be a pleasant lead in to the Village of Bayfield's
Christmas celebrations one weekend later.
The doors of five beautiful Bayfield homes will be opened to
the public on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Sunday
from noon to 4 p.m. Area florists, designers, merchants and
those with a penchant for holiday decor will enhance the
houses; providing visitors with ideas they can incorporate in
their own homes.
One popular way of decorating for the holidays is to
incorporate natural elements into the design to "bring the
outdoors in".
According to Helen Varekamp, of Bayfield's Huron, Hearth and
Home, "Natural elements can be incorporated into any style of
design. Branches, pinecones, dried plants, leaves, berries or
weeds are all good choices. They can either be left natural for
a country look or spray painted to make them look more
contemporary and match a color scheme. When arranged in
large clusters, they will make a lovely statement."
One room in the home where people wish to make a statement when decorating for the
holidays is their dining room by creating the perfect backdrop for holiday entertaining.
practice alternative and supportive treatments as part
of an educational evening.
During the evening to be held at the Bayfield Town
Hall, Drs. Brent and April Hulley, of Bayfield, will
provide insight into the role of chiropractors. Other
speakers will include: Dr. Kate Hazlitt, of Goderich,
naturopathic; Dr. Katarina Romano, acupuncturist;
and Stephanie Schilthuis, massage and reflexology
therapist.
"Words of Wellness" is an educational series that
neither supports nor condones the principles
expressed by the speakers. All the speakers in the
series are giving graciously of their time to support
the AMGHF. In the first two lectures, Dr. Ken Shonk
and Dr. John Howard challenged their audiences and
indeed their peers to consider treatment of the whole
patient as a priority and not focus on just the disease.
Also on Nov. 8, in addition to the speakers, those
who attend can enjoy the work of seven local artists
who have prepared a show and sale of their work.
The art show, with refreshments, begins at 7 p.m.
The lectures along with a "questions and answers"
session will start about 7:45 p.m.
Tickets are $20 and available in Goderich at

raypaula@tcc.on.ca. Please note seating is limited.
She also said that people shouldn't be afraid to use two sets of dishes and layer these on top
of each other, starting with a charger in a complementary color.
Deb Grasby, owner of Cabin the Woods Design in Bayfield, noted, "Bring out your best pottery,
dishes and silverware; if not now, then when? For an updated look, go with a table runner
instead of a tablecloth. Cloth napkins are a must; no paper products allowed!"
Both designers had several ideas for arranging the all-important centerpiece.
Varekamp said, "Make a unique centre piece by arranging a collection of either glass balls,
pine cones, candlesticks, small poinsettias or anything that is unique." She cautioned against
using tall items that will obstruct the view.
Experts in design say that the festive season is the perfect time to bring out the best dishes and cutlery
hidden away in the cupboard and allow these items to enhance the holiday dining experience.
Grasby suggested using candlelight when going for a more dramatic look.
FILM SERIES
Hilarity ensues for the third of four Toronto Film
Circuit films to be shown as part of the Bayfield Film
Society's Fall Series. The comedy Moonrise Kingdom
is scheduled for Nov. 15 at the Bayfield Town Hall.
Moonrise Kingdom takes place on an island off the
coast of New England in the summer of 1965. It tells
the story of two twelve year-olds who fall in love,
make a secret pact, and run away together into the
wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them
down, a violent storm is brewing off -shore and the
peaceful island community is turned upside down.
The final film of the series will be shown on Dec. 13.
The films start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at
the door for $10. Seating is limited. Tickets can be
ordered from Jane Rowat by e-mail:
wjrowat@hotmail.com or by calling 519 565-5838.
Author Susan Swan will be reading from her latest
novel, "The Western Light" at The Village Bookshop
on Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m. The novel shares a heroine
with her international bestseller, "The Wives of Bath."
Swan is a journalist, feminist, novelist, activist and
teacher whose critically acclaimed fiction has been

"Candlelight is a simple and dramatic enhancement to a setting," Grasby said. "Use two
matching candelabra, one at either end of the table."
The featured houses on the Homes for the Holiday tour include an upscale condo, a heritage
home constructed in the late 1860s, two brand new constructions and a home modeled after
the Strawberry Island Lighthouse in Georgian Bay.
Grasby's creative talents will be showcased in the lighthouse as she combines roles as both
homeowner and designer. Varekamp will work her magic in the heritage home known in the
community as Fairlawn.
With close to a dozen professionals, hailing from Bayfield, Grand Bend, Goderich, Clinton and
Seaforth, sharing their expertise in the homes there is sure to be an abundance of decorating
ideas to suit a variety of tastes.
Tickets are on sale for $20 each and will include a light lunch served at the Bayfield Village Inn.
Tickets are available now by calling the Bayfield Village Inn, 519 565-2443. Elsewhere in
Bayfield they are available at Brandon's Hardware, Nip N' Tuck, The General Store and Cabin
in the Woods Design. Tickets can also be found in Clinton at Curves, in Grand Bend at The
Garden Gate, in Goderich at Homescapes by Lynn and in Seaforth at Blooms N' Rooms.
A LITTLE HOLIDAY DO-IT-YOURSELF
Bayfield's Deb Grasby, of Cabin in the Woods Design, shared an idea for those who are
looking for an alternative to the traditional Christmas crackers and in the process create
instead of a traditional centerpiece a "surprise" element to delight family or guests who sit down
to share a meal together.
1. Purchase or make small gifts for each person.
2. After wrapping these gifts, tie one end of a very long
piece of curling ribbon around each gift. Curl the length
and then glue a place card with the guest's name on the
end of the ribbon.
3. Place gifts in a large bowl (that coordinates with your
dishes, of course!) and place in the centre of the table.
4. Run ribbons, with place cards attached to individual
plates.
5. Place raffia, pebbles, moss or a filler of choice on the top
of the bowl full of gifts to keep the presents hidden from
sight.
6. Celebrate the occasion by having each guest retrieve
his/her gift before serving dinner.

BAYFIELD HISTORICAL SOCIETY
MURDER REMAINS A MYSTERY ONE HUNDRED YEARS ON
STORY BY DAVE GILLIANS
Editor's note: As the publication of Issue 174 falls on Halloween we thought a look at Bayfield's
"Dark Side" would be appropriate. So we opened the pages of "For the Love of Bayfield" and
discovered the story of an unsolved murder...
Mrs. W. James Burns (nee Eleanor Bartliff) was the victim of an unsolved murder in the summer of
1909.
In July 1909, there was an unknown murderer wandering around Bayfield!
Eleanor (Bartliff) Burns age 57, wife of general store owner and former Bayfield Reeve, James
Burns, was found by her husband, lying dead on her bed, gagged, with a severe bruise on her
forehead and with a stocking tightly wound around her neck.
Neighbors of the residence on Lot 278, Keith Crescent, testified that they hadn't seen anything
or anyone unusual although there were rumors in the village that a sinister character had been
seen.
Soon after the body was found, an inquest was held by Dr. Richard Stanbury. The cause of
death was determined to be "suicide!" This verdict caused such an uproar in the village that
When Coroner Shaw opened the hearing, the
town hall was filled to capacity. According to the
London Advertiser on July 23, 1909, this second
jury returned a verdict:
"That the deceased came to her death at the
hands of some person or persons unknown and
that the case was manifestly not one of suicide!"
Crown Attorney Shaw muttered to the London
Free Press on July 22nd,
"The mystery of Mrs. Burns
death would never be
solved. " It never was!
The Burns family's life in Bayfield had the
ingredients of a Greek Tragedy. James Burns was
a successful businessman who had been elected
Reeve of Bayfield for three years, from 1895 to
1898.
Things were going so well for them that during
that time, he built the home on the northeast
corner of Clan Gregor Square, now known as
"Clifton Manor". Sadly, he over extended himself
financially. He spent too much on the construction
of that fine home and was forced to move out,
after living in it only a short time.
Eleanor Burns was not a healthy woman. She
was bedridden most of the time and according to
a July 23, 1909, London Free Press story, when
Burns was asked about the bruise on his wife's
forehead, he said, "At times when his wife was
distracted with pain or in a temper, she would beat
herself over the head with her hands or anything
she happened to have in her hand at the time"
The Burns' daughter, Ada, suffered from a violent
form of mental illness and had been sent to the
London Hospital for the Insane. At the time of her
mother's death, however, she had been living at
the home on Keith Crescent for two years.
She was described as weak and docile and
although she had been home in an adjacent
bedroom at the time of her mother's murder, it
was judged that she was incapable of such an
act. She was an invalid and could hardly leave her
bed.
Ada was sent to the asylum in Whitby, where she
remained until she died in 1936.
cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week45issuel74/tabid/585/Default.aspx 7/10
5/27/2019 Week 45 Issue 174
Crown Attorney Seager, of Goderich, convened a second inquest headed by Dr. Shaw, the
Coroner at Clinton.
Dr. Shaw assigned Dr. Gunn, of Clinton, and Dr. Ninian W. Woods, of Bayfield, to make a post
mortem. The body had been embalmed so they couldn't determine if any poison had been
administered.
Dr. Woods, who was called in after the discovery of the body, testified that there was no
evidence of death by strangulation. The body was not contorted, and there was no sign or
evidence of a struggle, everything appearing as if death had been peaceful. The bruise over the
right temple was a severe one and could not, in his opinion, have been self-inflicted.
The doctors said that the blow to Mrs. Burns head and other bruises on the body might have
caused death, but at any rate these injuries would have made it impossible for her to put the
stocking around her own neck.

James Burns testified at the inquest that he had
left the house about 2 p.m. after making certain
his wife and daughter were comfortable in their
beds. He accounted for all his movements up to
his return to the home about 5 p.m.
He said that when he arrived home after some
business meetings, he first went to his daughter's
room and found her in the same position she was
in when he had gone out.
He claimed that he then went to his wife's
bedroom to see how she was. That's when he
found her lying dead on the bed.
No one was ever charged for the murder of
Eleanor Burns and to this day it remains a
mystery.
After the trial. James left for Toronto.

Week 45 Issue 174
I didn't get to go Trick or Treating very often as a child growing up ... it interfered with milking time in the barn, so the times I did
get to go out are quite clear in mind. Having a friend whose birthday fell on Halloween was a bonus, when the occasion fell on
the weekend there would be a sleepover and that meant going Trick or Treating in the bustling metropolis of Varna. It was
terribly exciting going with a group of friends door-to-door with the final stop being the general store. The people of Varna really
knew how to fill a treat bag — I remember full size candy bars, bags of potato chips and cans of pop... plus the good old ding
bats and candy kisses (Do they even still make those?). Amongst the loot, nary a box of raisins, not that I would have minded
nature's perfect snack but they did tend to cause some consternation among my counterparts.
This year, if all goes to plan, I will experience Trick or Treating on an even larger scale as we travel to the city to enjoy
Halloween with our grandson. He's a little young yet for the chocolate bars so maybe I can trade him some raisins for one or
two out of his treat bag. Happy Halloween everyone! - Melody
