An official ground breaking ceremony was held with Mike Dixon, co-chair of the "Making A Splash" Campaign for the Bayfield Optimist Club and Steve Baker, representing the Baker Family Foundation, digging in with some silver shovels. On hand to witness the ground breaking were several of the contractors and trades that are donating their labor to the construction of the Splash Pad, as well as representatives of the local Optimist Club and the Municipality of Bluewater. Janet M. Elliott, OPA playground practitioner, of Openspace Solutions, Waterloo, as overseer of the project and Dave Underwood, as project engineer, were also present. Following the ground breaking, Baker presented Dixon with a cheque in the amount of $37,500 on behalf of The Baker Family Foundation. This money was pledged to the project in early spring providing an incentive to people to contribute to the Splash Pad as every dollar collected from Apr. 1 to May 15 was to be doubled by the foundation up to $37,500.

ANGLICAN CHURCH Trinity Anglican Church is hosting a special performance by the St. Paul's Cathedral Choir from London, ON, June 9. They will perform as part of a Book of Common Prayer Choir Evensong beginning at 5 p.m. "We are delighted to have them so generously offer their time to us to perform this unique and elegant piece," said Rev. Wayne Malott, Bishop's Vicar at Trinity Anglican. "A talented ensemble, they recently completed a Choral Festival with the choirs of St. Paul's Cathedrals of Detroit and Buffalo." The choir shares its musical ministry outside the cathedral when it travels, on some ten or so Sunday afternoons each year. At those times, they sing evensong or present a concert in the parish churches of the Huron Diocese — parishes which may be celebrating significant milestones in their history or perhaps just enjoying the opportunity to attend choral evensong in the Book of Common Prayer tradition. "This evening is open to all who would enjoy this beautiful and spirit filled Anglican service," said Rev. Malott. A good will offering will be taken during the evening.

The Bayfield Optimist's are planning a Grand Opening Celebration for the Splash Pad on June 30 at 1 p.m. with the fun beginning at 11 a.m. A committee has been established to create a celebration reflective of the overwhelming support the project has received from the community and beyond. Juno Award nominated and Parent's Choice Award Winner, "Music with Brian" has been booked to perform in the park prior to all of the splashing. A coloring contest to determine the young person that will be given the honor of pushing the button to start the water flowing at the opening ceremonies is happening now. Children aged eight years and under are invited to enter by printing off and coloring this page and handing it in at either JMR Art Gallery or Brandons Hardware, both in Bayfield, or scanning and emailing it to bayfield.breeze@villageofbayfield.com on or before June 16. A limited number of hard copies will also be available at the gallery and the hardware store. All colored entries will be placed in a random draw. The winner will be announced in the June 19 issue of the Bayfield Breeze.

(Photos by Gary Lloyd -Rees) Over 60 guests attended the first ever Community Lunch hosted by the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society at the town hall on May 27. A delicious lunch, consisting of The Little Inn of Bayfield's lasagna, followed by fruit pies that were generously donated by Community Living South Huron, of Dashwood, was enjoyed by all. In attendance were Geordie Palmer and Steve McAuley, from the Municipality of Bluewater, Lisa Stewart, on behalf of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Rachel DeBoer, from United Communities Credit Union, as well as many current and past Bayfield Town Hall board members. The remainder of the guests included Bayfield residents, old and new, who have always been so generous with their time and monetary donations and who form the backbone of the town hall's support system. A "Prezi" Power Point presentation, which was informative, interactive and often amusing, was given by Erin Roy, one of the members of the Bayfield Town Hall Board. This outlined the mission, history and community mandate of the town hall. It also listed the improvements that were made to the building over the past 12 months as well as the projects that the board hopes to accomplish in the coming year. Sixty people enjoyed a mid-day meal together at the first ever Community Lunch hosted by the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society. An amusing aside to Erin's presentation occurred when she recalled an incident earlier in the year. Her young son, Dawson, took their new puppy outside in the snow for the first time and as the pup was trying to make headway in the deep snow, Dawson called out to him, "Come on Twix - you haven't seen the town hall yet". "Apart from giving the audience a good laugh, it highlighted the effect the town hall has, not only on the older generations in Bayfield, but also the very young ones too and how important it is to keep this historic building in good shape for our future generations," said Board President Kate Lloyd -Rees. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 5 at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton starting at 7:30 p.m. Prior to the meeting club members are invited to tour the students' photography exhibition. "Members may remember we did this last year and we were all amazed at the quality of the student photographs," said Jack Pal, of the PCoB. Club members will also want to attend this meeting to learn who the winners were in the PCoB Photo Scavenger Hunt, SAIL AND CANVAS FESTIVAL The Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce's Sail and Canvas Festival will celebrate its 11th anniversary on the weekend of June 15-16. In addition to the art, some fun family friendly activities are also in the works for the festival and the Sail and Canvas Committee could use some help in preparing for one of these — a craft that will transform pop can tabs into jewelry! But first they need the pop can tabs — lots of them. If our subscribers would be so kind as to start saving these, colored ones in addition to the regular silver tabs, it would be very appreciated. They can be dropped off at Inspirations on Main Street or South Shore Marina during regular business hours from now until festival weekend. UNITED CHURCH Preparations for summer fun have begun at St. Andrew's United Church. The Stewards would like to remind everyone that their Yard and Treasures Sale is fast approaching and to add to the fervor, a Bake Sale is now being included in the day's events — June 15. Call John Siertsema, at 519 565-2479, to donate or for more information. St Andrew's will host "The Men of Note" at their 11 a.m. church service on June 23. Following this special performance those who attend are invited to join in "the joys of summer" on the church patio. This will kick off the start of sharing summer treats each week following the services until the end of August. BETWEEN THE LINES... There is more on the canvas than just art on the Sail & Canvas festival weekend, there will be room for some reading and writing too. The Village Bookshop will host "An Evening with Cathy Marie Buchanan" on the evening of June 15. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week241ssue205/tabid/616/Default.aspx 4/13 5/31/2019 Week 24 Issue 205 Lloyd -Rees also added that the lunch was a huge success and will definitely be repeated. "It is our opportunity, not only to let villagers know what we have done and hope to achieve in the future, but also to say thank you to the whole community for their continued support. Without this, there would be no town hall." SOCIETY INVITES FOLKS TO TICKLE THE IVORIES WITH DONATIONS After many years of good and faithful service, the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society has said goodbye to their two old pianos. Although they were no longer suitable for concert performances at the hall, the society members are pleased to say that these pianos are currently enroute to schools in Africa, courtesy of local Rotary Clubs. An example of the piano that the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society is currently fundraising for. "We are now acquiring a new piano for the town (Submitted photo) hall - one which will not only last for many years to come, but will also enhance the sound quality we can offer the many musicians who perform here," said Kate Lloyd -Rees, Bayfield Town Hall board president. The new piano is the Roland Digital HP 507 - as seen and heard at the recent Bayfield Lions' Home and Garden Show. This piano, which has a rich, concert -hall sound, requires no tuning and will be better equipped to deal with the ever-changing temperatures in the hall. The first concert to use this piano will be the town hall sponsored "Bicycle Opera" on July 21. Six young and talented opera singers and musicians will be performing six vignettes from modern Canadian operas. "As their name suggests, this incredible ensemble travel from town to town by bicycle each summer! It will be a fitting premiere - not only for the new piano, but also to showcase our entire new audio/visual systems," said Lloyd -Rees. To help in the purchase of the piano, donors are now being sought to purchase the 88 keys on the piano. Each key will be "sold" for $50. Anyone who wishes to be part of this exciting project by adding their name to one key or more should please call 519 565-4404 or 519 565-2830 or e-mail bayfieldth@gmail.com.

But the event doesn't happen overnight; in fact it is only a success if people remember the event when they are Spring cleaning. Organizers are now asking people to set aside their unique, nearly new, antique and quality castoffs for the sale that provides cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek241ssue205/tabid/616/Default.aspx 5/13 5/31/2019 Week 24 Issue 205 dismissed but the date of the first barbecue was set for June 26 of that year and the Steward's wives met only three weeks before to decide on the menu! By June 17 they had sold 350 tickets with a hope to sell as many as 400! A number of the members of that board of stewards and their wives are still working on the event 39 years later. The earliest barbecue events were held in the church sheds, across the road from the church, with picnic tables hauled into service. There was only cold water from a tap for washing and drinking. And the wind blew the serviettes and paper plates around - through the building and into the field beyond! Tickets in 1975 cost $3.75 for adults and $2.00 for children. As early as 1976, 1,000 tickets were being printed and each of the Stewards was to sell 100! Prices for tickets went up as the price of pork increased from 50 cents a pound to over $1.70 in the 1980s and with demand high, over 1,200 tickets were being sold in the early 80s. The barbecue became a staple fundraiser for the church, earning over $3,000 a year and keeping the church nicely in the black. Within fewer than ten years, the barbecue had outgrown its humble beginnings, and, with the building of the new Stanley Complex the church made the decision to move the barbecue there. In fact this was an inaugural event for the complex- taking place even before the official opening in July. Since then the entire community has participated in providing homemade pies, home baked beans and scalloped potatoes for the meal — even if they were not members of the church. The menu has changed slightly over the years making less work for congregation members, but the signature smoked pork chops and delicious pies and cheesecakes are still the same. Now a more modest 1,000 tickets are sold annually and people from far and wide come back year after year bringing new generations of barbecue goers. Every year for this meal the Varna community prepares: 1,100 baked potatoes, over a 1,000 lbs of pork chops, 300 pounds of coleslaw, 130 lbs of beans and 1,400 slices of pie or cheesecake. This year, members of the Brucefield Community United Church, in the community tradition already associated with the event, are already stepping forward to help with baking, selling tickets and setting up. Tickets are $14 for adults and $6 for children ages five to 12 years. Call Willi Laurie at 519 482-9265 or Deb Rathwell at 519 233-9153 to get tickets for this year's event or speak to any Varna United Church member.

The shed section on the right used to be screened in and was a hang out for the local and summer kids. We as youngsters sometimes probably contributed to any grey hairs on his head."

PHOTO STORY Week 24 Issue 205 BAYFIELD FINANCIAL BAYfWLD LIONS' CLUB WALK FOR DOG GUIDES HELPS PEOPLE GAIN INDEPENDENCE Click to enable Adobe Flash Player The Bayfield Lions Club members are pleased to report that Sunday's Walk for Dog Guides raised approximately $7,100. PHOTOS BY GARY LLOYD-REES AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER - POUNDER Those canines and their human companions taking part in the "Purina Walk for Dog Guides" that got off to an early start on the morning of June 2 avoided the rain – it was reported that only a couple of walkers got a bit wet. The weather did little to dampen anyone's spirits as the cause far outweighed the inconvenience of a spring shower. The Bayfield Lions' Club hosts this annual local event to raise funds so that more Canadians with disabilities may have a Dog Guide. Participants hailed from Bayfield, Goderich, Seaforth and Mitchell. Some people walked with their dogs, some strolled in memory of a beloved four legged friend and still others carried the stuffed variety, all so that more Canadians in need can gain independence with the help of a Dog Guide. Although Dog Guides cost approximately $25,000 each to raise and train they are provided at no cost to eligible program participants. This walk takes place in 250 communities across Canada. Dogs are now being trained to offer six different kinds of support: Canine Vision, for people who are blind or visually impaired; Hearing Ear, for people who are deaf or hard of hearing; Special Skills, for people with a medical or physical disability; Seizure Response, for people with Epilepsy; Autism Assistance, for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder; and Diabetic Alert, a new Dog Guide offering as of this year. After the walk, the human participants were treated to free hot dogs, cookies and coffee while the canines had an opportunity to compete for prizes that were donated by Purina. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek241ssue2O5/tabid/616/Default.aspx 10/13 5/31/2019 GARDENING SERVICES f MASSAGE THEIP 5 19.565.4711 Week 24 Issue 205 PIXU ATED - IMAGE OF THE WEEK 2018-19 SEASON Bayfield Mews � 0 tp sqk ixdusVe 55+ Commumityy One Floor Tovmhornes 599 • 565 -4543 L www.bayf ietdmews.ca The Beauty of Sunset ...

I was at a low -ebb in the morning but felt lighter as the sun once again set over the lake. I heard on Monday that the slaughter had begun along the stretch of road between Bayfield and Goderich. I knew it was inevitable, as road improvements have been scheduled for some time. I knew those beautiful trees that grace the sides of our highway, some standing stoically there for decades and decades, would be lost in mere moments to the saw blade, all because they took root in what now by today's standards is considered to be an unsafe place. In a few weeks we will forget they were Melody Falconer -Pounder ever there. And that to me is such a travesty. I had to go to Godench yesterday and although I didn't want to drive that route I forced myself to. I had to face it — I had to say good-bye to the ones that now lay at rest on the sides of the road and the ones that will soon follow. And I'm not ashamed to say I shed a tear as I drove along. I don't know why I have this affinity for trees...I can't help it, I just do. I remember as a child on the school bus traveling along the road known as the Cutline, the trees practically touched as they hung over both sides of the road, a cathedral along a gravel path ... and then the road was paved and they were gone in an instant. They were never replaced ... to me that road has seemed sad and desolate ever since. I know there is a plan in place to replace the ones they cut down along the highway with new ones but I just can't help shake the fact that destroying the more than 100 or so that grace the roadside is so very wasteful. It takes so long for a tree to grow and mature. I did say that by day's end I felt a bit brighter and as usual it was my Girl Guides to the rescue. It was our final meeting of the 2012-13 year. Parents were invited to share in their daughter's accomplishments as well as some dessert and tea: an homage to Guiding events of the past as Bayfield Guiding will mark 60 years in 2013-14. 1 had invited Sondra Buchner of the Bayfield Tree Project to attend so that we might present to her our nearly $28 of pennies that we collected over the Guiding year. Pennies that will help plant new trees in the village. She shared with those gathered a story, "I Planted a Tree", and as she read it I began to feel a bit brighter. The story reminded me that I'm not the only one who has an affinity for trees ... and that by providing awareness and working together trees will grow tall along our roadways again some day. I may not be of the age that will see them but my Girl Guides will and I know they will appreciate them because 1, and people like Sondra, have helped plant that seed. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
