There are two blue flags flying over the Bayfield Main Beach and Municipality of Bluewater
Marina again this year. This is the fourth consecutive year that the flag has been unfurled over
the village's sandy shore and the fifth time the marina has been given the honor.
Blue Flag is a highly respected and recognized international eco -label. Across Canada there
are only 18 beaches and four marinas that can fly Blue Flags in 2012.
Of the four marinas designated in the country three 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 14 at the Bayfield Main
Beach and Bluewater Marina.
During the ceremony an information sign and map provided by the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association
(BRVTA) was unveiled revealing details of the "community plan to protect the Main Bayfield Watershed".
Posing with the sign were I -r: Hope Brock and Abigail Gutteridge both healthy watershed technicians currently
with the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA); Jessica Schnaithmann, a healthy watershed
technician formerly with ABCA, who facilitated the plan on behalf of the authority for the Main Bayfield
Watershed Plan Advisory Committee; and Barry Detenbeck, president of the BRVTA.
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the conditions change, the Blue Flag may be withdrawn.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.
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.
aged eight years and under were invited to enter. All
colored entries were placed in a random draw.
People will be able to view all of the children's
colorful creations as the pages will be on display at
JMR Art Gallery on Main Street on the opening day
of the Splash Pad.
Katerina Mertikas, of Ottawa, a regular contributor to
the gallery walls at JMR Art Gallery, was the artist
behind the coloring page. Favorite subjects for
Mertikas are children at play so she was the perfect
choice for the project. The artist has created her own
colored version of the contest page. It is acrylic on
canvas and measures 16"X12" and it is now on
display at JMR Art Gallery. Throughout the summer
months the gallery will be hosting a Secret Silent
Auction where people can enter a bid on the painting.
It is hoped that Mertikas herself will present the
painting to the highest bidder at an artist reception in
September. The proceeds from the auction will go to
the Bayfield Optimists "Making A Splash" Campaign.
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 starting at 11:30 a.m. There will
also be a barbecue, popcorn, cupcakes, Slushies,
balloons, a Canada Day themed craft and face
painting prior to all of the splashing.
The Municipality of Bluewater approved the Optimist
Club's proposal for creating a Splash Pad in Clan
Gregor Square in September of 2012 and gave the
final go ahead at their Apr. 15 council meeting.
Ground was broken on the project on June 3.

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.
FEEDBACK WELCOME REGARDING
WATERSHED PLAN
People are invited to celebrate the launch of the Main Bayfield Draft Watershed Plan during an
Open House on June 20.
This plan was developed in consultation with community members and agencies to help
manage the water, and land and water interactions, within the Main Bayfield Watershed. It
provides recommendations developed by the Main Bayfield Advisory Committee, as well as
from landowners, community groups and local organizations.
People can learn about these recommendations at the Open House as well as chat with
neighbors and agency staff. Light refreshments will be provided.
The event is to be held from 5-8 p.m. at the pavilion at the Stanley Complex in Varna (38594
Mill Road). Anyone wishing to attend should RSVP to Abbie Gutteridge at 519 235-2610 or
agutteridge@abca.on.ca.
Anyone who cannot attend can also view the plan at
www.abca.on.ca/downloads/Draft_ 06_ 11_13.pdf. Feedback regarding the plan is welcomed.
Comments can be submitted to Hope Brock at hbrock@abca.on.ca or mailed to ABCA, 71108
Morrison Line, RR3, Exeter ON, NOM 1S5.
In addition, they are interested in the thoughts of community residents on the questions below:
• A plan like this requires a lot of people undertaking many different actions. One issue with
water quality is managing stormwater (runoff during storm events). How would you manage
stormwater on your property?
• How would you like to be engaged moving forward with the implementation of this plan?

ONE THOUSAND SHEETS OF TICKETS
PLAYED AT PENNY SALE
Jim Whelan, of Seaforth, and his daughter, Ashley, prepared their tickets to participate in the Penny Sale
portion of the Penny Sale and Silent Auction for Camp Klahanie held at Trinity Anglican Church on June 13-15.
Exactly 1,000 sheets were played at the event held to raise funds to help return the camp located between

At the end of Nov. 2009, the provincial entity of Girl Guides of Canada informed their
membership in Bayfield and Goderich that they were ordering closed the local camp property
known as Camp Klahanie. Girl Guides of Ontario also announced that the property would be
sold with the money going to the provincial level.
Since that time local people have been working together to bring Camp Klahanie "home" but
this time it would not only benefit members of local Girl Guides it would be available for all
children and youth organizations in Huron County and beyond to use as a community camp!
A Penny Sale and Silent Auction for Camp Klahanie was held at Trinity Anglican Church in
Bayfield on June 13-15 to raise funds for the cause. The Goderich Lions Club will establish a
trust for the property if the negotiation proves successful and funds raised will go to support the
operation of the camp.
Organizers were thrilled with the generosity of businesses and individuals in providing items for
both the Silent Auction and the Penny Sale. More than 160 items were given toward the Penny
Sale and close to 60 more were donated to the Silent Auction.
Elvis' early years will be covered by Norm Ackland Jr.
He has been paying tribute to Elvis through his
performances since 2008 and is following in his

Jr. has been racking up the Elvis titles earning the
People's Choice Award in Windsor 2009, a second
place finish in Tweed in 201 land a third place finish
in Collingwood in 2012.
Frank Cross will transport audiences to Elvis' Vegas

Those familiar black tubes were back in action in Bayfield from June 13-15 as part of the Penny Sale and Silent
Auction for Camp Klahanie. The tubes were generously loaned to the event by the Clinton Public Hospital
Auxiliary. For many visitors they brought back memories of the Bayfield Lioness Penny Sale last held in 2003.
Joan Brodie was just one of several people who dropped in to try their luck on the more than 160 items
available to be won.
Participants seemed very enthused to join in the fun and both young and old put tons of tickets
in their favorite prizes in hopes of winning.
Winners for the both the auction and sale were notified by phone but a few prizes have yet to
be claimed. This can be done at the Bayfield Village Inn until the end of the week.
Anyone who missed the event but would still like to make a monetary donation to the cause
may do so by sending a cheque made payable to the Goderich Lions Club with Camp Klahanie
Fund in the memo line to Mike Alcock, co-chair of the Goderich Lions Club's Camp Klahanie
Committee, at 127 Suncoast Drive, Goderich, ON, N7A 4C4 or they can contact Melody at 519

There was a big turnout of volunteers to scrape the exterior of the old library on the morning of
June 12. There were so many people that, what was projected to take a full day, took only two
hours.
Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) President Bill Rowat said, "It is amazing to see the amount of
volunteer support in this village. When the call goes out for assistance on a project, villagers
show up."
Coffee and homemade cookies and cake sustained the workers.
Other renovations are also well underway at the old library. Since the BHS signed its new lease
with the Municipality of Bluewater, which went into effect of June 1, walls have been removed
in the old library room and the interior painted. In the next few weeks, new ceiling panels will be
installed and new flooring laid by local contractor Mike Graham.
As for the exterior, a new roof is being installed this week and carpentry repairs made to the
exterior wood cladding Brad Robinson and his carpentry crew are doing the work.
"This is one of the village's landmark heritage buildings. I was very pleased to be invited to
work on its restoration," said Robinson.
Once the renovations to the old library are complete, the BHS's Archives operations will move
back into this space. The front room will then be set up as a Welcome & Heritage Centre with
historical displays and information for visitors.
The Bluewater Heritage Advisory Committee gave its blessing to the renovations at its meeting
on June 4.
Chair Dave MacLaren said, "These renovations will contribute to the revitalization of our
Designated Heritage District along Main Street. With the addition of the new library and
inclusion of the library property in the district, this portion of the district is significantly enhanced
and will continue to attract villagers and tourists to the core area."
Now that the building has been scraped, the next step is to prime and paint the exterior. The
BHS is putting out a call for volunteers for June 27 starting at 10 a.m. Painting will be done on
July 4 if the weather proves inclement.

the last sailing fishing ship was designed and
developed on the property," wrote Martin. "When
doing any type of landscaping we are always finding
old rusted nails, screws, and broken glass and
pottery pieces."
Martin noted that in its early years it was a boarding
house for the sawmill workers and at one point in
time a doctor's office. The far section of the house
was originally an icehouse where ice in the winter
was stored, after being dragged up from the river, to
help keep things preserved.

SAIL AND CANVAS FESTIVAL
VARIETY OF TALENTS PRESIDE OVER START OF SUMMER
L.
Sunday, June 16, got off to a foggy start but that just made the art all that more warm and inviting to look at.
Later in the afternoon, however, the sun did prevail making for a lovely conclusion to the events of the Sail and
Canvas Festival weekend. Art by Ivan was just one of about 20 artists and artisans who set up booths along
Main Street during the festival.

The 11th annual Sail and Canvas Festival
experienced a mixed bag of weather on June 15-
16. The sun prevailed mostly on Saturday but
then Sunday dawned wet and cool with a heavy
layer of fog preventing some artists from returning
to set up along the Main Street — for those who
waited it out they were rewarded with sun later in
the afternoon for an enjoyable conclusion to the
event.
About 20 visiting artists and artisans set up shop
alongside the seven galleries that call Main Street
home. Stained glass, jewelery, pastels, children's
clothing, photography plus retro and vintage
chenille creations as well as works on canvas
were on display.
Several local organizations and churches were
also vying for the attention of visitors hosting yard
sales, barbecues, auctions, and book sales as
well as informational and historical displays over
the course of the weekend.

Debi Munce's line of vintage chenille and retro creations, known as Moxie and Zab, were on display at the
festival. Anyone who missed out during the weekend can now find her products at Hive of Bayfield.
Sailboats befitting the Sail and Canvas theme were part of the display by artist Alex van Gaalen (Portraits by
Alexander) hosted by Marten Arts Gallery.
Sid and Goldie kept all ages entertained when not giving complimentary carriage rides around town.
A familiar village scene depicted in miniature
could be found at the booth set up by Penny
Poyntz who also specializes in crystal
jewelery.
Danielle Nelson and Lily Sun, both of London, were very
happy with their purchases at the Sail and Canvas
Festival.

THE TEDDY BEARS HAD THEIR PICNIC
The Optimist Club of Bayfield hosted a Teddy Bear Picnic, in conjunction with this weekend's Sail and Canvas
Festival, late on the morning of June 16. The festivities were held under the gazebo in Clan Gregor Square as
the sun didn't make an appearance until later that afternoon. Katie Bender, was seriously creative at craft time.

The fog rolled in but bears are resourceful — they
just moved their picnic to the gazebo in Clan
Gregor Square.
The Optimist Club of Bayfield hosted a Teddy
Bear Picnic, in conjunction with this weekend's
Sail and Canvas Festival, late on the morning of
June 16. About 20 children and their favorite
stuffed friend took part in a story time, sing -along
and crafts.
Following the fun the sun started to peek out from
behind the clouds, and a few families decided to
pull up a blanket and get the goodies out of the
"pic-a-nic basket" that they had brought to the
park to enjoy a good old fashioned picnic
together. Yogi would be proud!

So today is Wednesday, June 19 and we will have exactly 15 hours and 26 minutes of daylight in Bayfield. How are you going
to spend all that glorious time? Because on Sunday the days will start to grow shorter again — this information brought to you
by The Old Farmer's Almanac.
One thing you might like to do is check out the full moon this weekend apparently it will be the moon's closest encounter with
earth for all of 2013 — making it the largest or in astronomical terms a "super" supermoon. This might explain the strange
dynamic brewing among the felines in our household.

But I digress... I'd like to go strawberry picking (anybody know if they are ready yet?), check out the spring beauty along the
Sawmill Trail and maybe even indulge in a White Chocolate Raspberry ice cream cone, my current favorite.
Here's to a long, languid summer with plenty of opportunities to enjoy every minute — whether it be by moonlight or under sunny skies! - Melody
