The shop shares space with A.D.S. High Impact Advertising. Brothers, Bradley and Greg Aitken established A.D.S. High Impact Advertising, a sign and graphic business, in the space last year and they are also the owners of Nook & Candy. Leanne Kavanagh manages the location, along with Shaun Henry, who is also the graphic consultant for A.D.S. The pair saw a lot of foot traffic come into the space over the first year and this prompted them to think about selling "something". "We joked about it over the winter and then we approached Brad about the possibility of opening a candy shop," said Kavanagh. "He was open to the idea as long as we looked after it." From there the research began as they visited the One -of -a -Kind Show in Toronto as well as other candy shops and took into consideration what was already available in the village. "We had a ton of time to decide what to carry. We also researched online and looked into product history before deciding to go with retro candy as well as American chocolate bars," said Kavanagh. Mild%% American and retro candy bars grace the shelves at Nook & Candy. Since opening the candy shop they have been pleased by people's reactions. "Visitors to the store are often surprised and excited to find a chocolate bar they haven't seen for a long time," she said. Despite a love for sweets, both she and Henry are conscious of health and wellness and wanted to provide products in the store that would reflect that as well. wjrowat@tcc.on.ca or by phone 519 565-5838.

They also have "healthier" alternatives to soda and ice cream. The cooler is filled with ice-cold bottled pop, in keeping with the retro theme, but the difference is this soda is imported from Mexico and is made from cane sugar instead of corn syrup.

This program recognizes residences that demonstrate a special tree, planter or garden with a Garden Gallery Award plaque. The Bluewater Blooms Committee members initially honored three garden owners in Bayfield, Hensall and Zurich by planting an award plaque on their property. After two weeks the award recipient is expected to "pay it forward" and pass the award plaque along to a property they admire. After two weeks the most recent award recipient is asked to do the same so that these plaques travel through private gardens as the season progresses. The Bluewater Blooms Committee would like to congratulate the award recipients as someone thinks that their garden is beautiful and invites others in the community to acknowledge these green thumbs.

HAY SWAMP SELECTED FOR Two Ausable Bayfield properties near Exeter are the first sites in Canada to be chosen for new research into biological control of an invasive beetle species that is killing Ash trees. The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) continues to spread across Ontario. Researchers from the Canadian Forest Service have selected two sites in the Hay Swamp area, west of Exeter, for their research into management of populations of the damaging insect. The EAB infests all native species of Ash. Native predators, parasites, and diseases have so far been unable to prevent infestation, so the trees are dying. Native Ash species have also shown very little resistance or tolerance to the Emerald Ash Borer pest, which was accidentally imported from Asia to North America. In the early part of the 21 st century this insect was initially discovered killing Ash trees in the Windsor -Detroit area. The invasive beetle was first detected in the Ausable Bayfield watershed area in 2008, near Bayfield, and it is moving across the watershed. "This summer I am really seeing the effects of the borer in areas where I didn't see it last year," said Ian Jean, forestry specialist with Ausable Bayfield Conservation. "You can really see the thinning crowns on the Ash trees, especially as I drive south and west of Exeter, and in the Bayfield River corridor. We have had ideal tree growing conditions this year but obviously not enough to offset the effects of the Borer." Gene Jones and Dr. Barry Lyons, of the Canadian Forest Service, are Canadian researchers studying biological control of EAB. Jones contacted Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ARCA) staff members in the spring looking for candidate study sites. Suitable study sites included a high proportion of Ash as well as light to moderate infestation of EAB. Two sites on Ausable Bayfield property at Hay Swamp met their study criteria. "Hay Swamp is our largest natural area and has a high component of Ash," said Jean. "Before Dutch Elm Disease, Hay Swamp had large Elms. We have lost the large Elm trees and we expect to lose all of the large Ash over the next few years. Ash is such an important species for timber and wildlife, especially in our swamp forests." The study will look at the effect of introducing a parasitic insect (or parasitoid) called Tetrastichus planipennisi. This insect is native to North Asia and it is a parasitoid of the EAB. Parasitoids are a type of insect that consume and kill hosts and that's why this species is a potential management tool for EAB. their skills, who are willing to commit even on a part time — whenever possible basis," said Arlene Darnborough, choir director. The choir practices once a week. These sessions usually includes five hymns and a treat of the week. Practice night is Wednesday at 7 p.m. but this is negotiable. Services are held on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. Summer people are welcome to join at anytime. Anyone who is interested should please contact Darnborough at 519 524-2035 or email: cactusjam@cabletv.on.ca. Families will want to stick around Pioneer Park after the sun sets on several weekends this summer as the Pioneer Park Association has some fun stuff planned when darkness falls. Four free movies are scheduled most with families in mind: Meatballs, July 20; Akeelah and the Bee, Aug. 3; Because of Winn-Dixie, Aug. 17; and The Sandlot, Aug. 21. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Camp Kintail has returned to Bayfield for the fourth 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. Camps will be held from now until Aug. 21. 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. ���11.1uty� �► Summer is nearly officially here and it will be August before anyone realizes.

AND GARDEN TOO The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society hosted the Bayfield Town Hall Home and Garden Tour "Art in the Home" on July 6. Original works created by Artist Kevin Doty were featured throughout Helen Varekamp's Organic Vegetable Garden on Jowetts Grove Road.

Around 300 people enjoyed a glorious summer day out in the village on July 6, visiting the eight homes and two gardens on the Bayfield Town Hall Home and Garden Tour. Each home and garden exhibited artwork from a local Bayfield artist or gallery. Three of the homes on the tour were those of the actual artist: these were Leda McAlister (Bluewater Hwy), Paula Letheren (Cameron Street) and Doug Marr and Carlos Murguia (John Street). The task of partnering the other exhibiting artists with the homes was given to Helen Varekamp. According to show organizers, she did a wonderful job choosing the artist which best complemented each property. Varekamp's own organic vegetable garden was a huge hit on the tour, not only for her amazing display of vegetables, but also the artwork of Kevin Doty that displayed beautifully on her lawns. Some of the mysteries reported in earlier issues of the Bayfield Breeze were solved on the tour! The "Pirates' Den" was in the home of Paul and Benny Hill (Jowetts Grove Road), who exhibited artwork and pottery from Joan Bailey and Tony Eyamie, of Patina Studios. The "Sailor's Delight" was in fact the home of Dawn Cummings and Bob Merriman (Jowetts Grove Road), and was cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week291ssue2l 0/tabid/621 /Default.aspx 9/13 5/31/2019 prepared to enter a home on the tour.

Lynn Henderson's new home on Christy Street was the home of the "Polar Bear on a bamboo floor" with artwork from JMR Art Gallery. Other home and art pairings were Anne Laviolette exhibiting in the incredible gardens of Colleen and Robert Devine (Victoria Street), Krysten Watterworth in the lovely cottage -style home of Claire Trepanier and Brad McLellan, and Marten Arts, whose choice of artwork truly complemented Carol Thornley -Hall's beautifully renovated "old Bayfield" home. The Bayfield Town Hall offered a respite from the heat, serving participants with cold drinks and cookies, as well as showcasing an exhibition by Brad Turner of The Turner Gallery. Outside the hall, a Silent Auction of artwork donated by the exhibiting artists was held throughout the day. With a photograph on canvas of a "55 Vette" by Kevin Doty being prominently placed, the town hall was ensured of a good number of bidders from the Vettefest crowd. All the donated pieces were sold - some even above their valued price. "The Bayfield Town Hall Home and Garden Tour Committee would like to thank all the volunteers who helped us on the day in each of the homes and at the hall. Without them we could not have held the event," said Kate Lloyd -Reese, president of the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society. "We would also like to give a huge vote of thanks to the home owners and artists who gave up so much of their time and made their properties available to us. A final big vote of thanks to all the people who bought tickets for the tour who, as well as a large proportion of local folks, came from as far away as London, St Thomas, Forest, Stratford and Wallaceburg." cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week291ssue2l0/tabid/621/Default.aspx 10/13 5/31/2019 . .'

PHOTO STORY Week 29 Issue 210 SHEAR 11 ALENTA VETTEFEST 2013 FRIDAY'S SIZES CLEARED IN TIME FOR EVENING CRUISE The view on Tuyll Street on Friday evening as dozens of corvettes made their way through town on a Summer Night Cruise, the kick-off to Vettefest 2013. Old friends and new acquaintances, all with a love for the corvette, mixed and mingled in Clan Gregor Square on Friday evening prior to the start of the Summer Night Cruise. PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Weather plays a huge part in the success of a car show and Bayfield's Vettefest is no exception. Cloudy skies and rain threatened to dampen the spirits of corvette enthusiasts early on July 5 but by the time 7 p.m. rolled around it was sunny skies and smooth sailing for the kick-off event - the annual Summer Night Cruise. About 70 corvette owners converged on the park to learn that this year's tour would take them down Main Street, along Tuyll and Cameron and out of the village along Mill Road... destination The Slots in Clinton — everyone was given a $10 voucher for the venue to really make things interesting. No word on big winners — but unofficially the big winners were Vettefest organizers as the next day, July 6, the weather couldn't have been more perfect for the car show with Clan Gregor Square filling to the brim with colorful corvettes. The cars are only parked for a short time in Clan Gregor Square prior to Summer Cruise Night. However, it doesn't take long for people to gather, admire and discuss the corvettes. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week291ssue2l0/tabid/621/Default.aspx 11/13 5/31/2019 Week 29 Issue 210 In a few short years this young lad will no doubt be asking for the keys.

BAYFIELD (a. OPTIMIST 6-40_1* In case you haven't guessed it yet my favorite subject to photograph is people. And there is no better place to capture the human element through the lens then at a family reunion. I was invited to shoot at one such gathering this past weekend and it was such a pleasure to do. Everywhere I looked a moment was happening as the family members divided into teams, donned silly costumes and created cheers, to play equally silly games. The venue for this frivolity was none other than Pioneer Park — a green space created with such heartwarming moments in mind. I observed light-hearted competition, much laughter, friendship and love in the two hours I visited and this kept my shutter finger firing fast. I was told that the family has been "coming home" to Bayfield for a reunion since 1983 holding an event every five years. admire the fact that over 150 people share in the collective belief of the importance of coming together as a family and that this village is the touchstone for their clan. I also admired the fact that they so enjoyed playing together. I hope they can reflect upon the images I took for them at many reunions to come and look back on this sixth event with fondness and warmth. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
