Huron Ridge Acres offers a display at their garden centre showing how the official colors for Bluewater Blooms
flowers can be displayed together. (Submitted photo)
June 8-14 is Communities in Bloom Week. The Municipality of Bluewater will launch
preparations next week, for showing the community in its finest in late July. The first visible
example is placement of approximately 50 flower planters on the main streets of each village: a
continuation of a decades -old tradition.
With proclamation of the second week of June as Communities in Bloom Week recently,
Municipal Council recognizes the economic and social benefit derived from the municipality's
participation in Communities in Bloom and celebrates the efforts of countless volunteers and
municipal staff who make our communities great places to live. The Municipality of Bluewater
also produces a professional community profile noting these achievements. The Municipality
won Five Blooms, the top award, and the Heritage Conservation Criteria Award last year.
Each summer, since 2010, the community is evaluated during a personal visit from two
professionally trained judges. This year, the judges have been invited to visit on July 29 and
July 30. They will tour and stop in the rural areas and each village taking notes on local efforts
to improve the natural environment, preserve built heritage and please passersby with clean
and decorated streets and properties.
While a volunteer committee of Master Gardeners, merchants and citizens plans the judges'
evaluation, residents can get involved in several ways including planting annuals, perennials,
bulbs, and ornamental grasses in special colors. The Bluewater Blooms Committee is
promoting the colors red, orange and royal purple with lime green as the accent. Carol Steckle
committee member and owner of Huron Ridge Acres, has set up a living sample in the
greenhouse. The municipality also used these colors in the Main Street planters.
Fitness enthusiasts may be excited to learn that Rita
Catalina is coming to the village for a Meet and Greet
on June 6.
Catalina is a certified personal trainer, online coach,
motivational speaker, fitness model and cover model.
Her passion for fitness and helping others can be

struggles with weight her entire life.

The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society Board of Directors held a Community Lunch at the hall on May 26 to
say thank you to volunteers and community supporters. (Submitted photo)
"What a beautiful day it was for the 2nd Annual Bayfield Town Hall Community Lunch, held on
May 26," said Sandy Scotchmer, president of the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society.
"The sun was shining, the silverware and dishes gleamed as the Bayfield Town Hall Board of
Directors and our wonderful volunteers set the tables for lunch!"
The Little Inn provided scrumptious lasagna for the guests and Dashwood Community Living
made and donated their fantastic pies again this year.
"It doesn't get any better than that in the community!" said Scotchmer.
At the luncheon, Scotchmer presented a snapshot of what went on at the town hall during
2013, as well as the ambitious programs for 2014. Updates on how the town hall is doing
physically, and what future initiatives the society will need to address to keep Bayfield's
treasured building in tip-top shape, were also provided.
The lunch also offered the Board of Directors opportunity to thank the community for its year
round support of town hall programs.
"Many thanks to all the volunteers who worked so hard. Also, a special thank you to the
community for supporting us, once again," said Scotchmer.

"We have a fantastic variety of acclaimed Canadian authors this year," Brown said. "Their most
recent works include historical and contemporary fiction, young adult fantasy and non-fiction
with a definite Ontario focus. Two of these authors are currently on the bestsellers list."
Kate Hilton is a newly published
author that will be at the Writer's
Festival. She has worked in law,
higher education, public
relations, fundraising and
publishing. She has an English
degree from McGill University
and a law degree from the
University of Toronto. She holds
down a day job, volunteers for
community organizations, raises
two boys, cooks, collects art,
reads voraciously and likes her
husband. In her free time, she
writes. On good days, she thinks
she might have it all. On bad
days, she wants a nap.
The Hole in the Middle is Hilton's
Kate Hilton first book. It was originally self -
published in April 2013, but
received such an enthusiastic response from readers that it was re -published by HarperCollins
Canada in November 2013.
The book explores the life of Sophie Whelan, the epitome of the modern superwoman. When
she operates at peak performance, she can cajole balky employees, soothe her cranky
children, troubleshoot career disasters, throw a dinner party for ten and draft an upbeat
Christmas letter - all in the same day.
But as Sophie's fortieth birthday looms, her seamless life reveals disturbing web-like fractures.
The Hole in the Middle is a heartbreaking love story, a laugh -out loud portrayal of the twin
demands of work and family and a fresh take on the hot debate about having it all.
Tickets for the Bayfield Writers' Festival are $15 and are available now at The Village
Bookshop, 24 Main Street North or by calling 519 565-5600.

June is a great month for hiking. The forests have
turned a thousand different shades of green, late
spring flowers are blooming underfoot and the birds
are enthusiastically serenading all who walk there.
The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA)
now has several newly trained hiking leaders, eager
to get out on the trails. They are offering at least two
regular hiking events for each of the summer months,
the second Sunday afternoon and the fourth
Thursday morning, to be accompanied by three
leaders for each hike.
Generally dogs on leash are welcome but it is always
best to check with the hike leader. The usual meeting
site will be Clan Gregor Square unless specified
otherwise and car-pooling will be arranged from
there. All hikers are reminded to wear proper shoes
and bring water. It's a good idea to wear long pants
and take insect repellent along in case it is needed.
Anyone with questions concerning specific hikes or
who would like to make suggestions, call one of the
hike leaders or contact the program coordinator, by
email thyra.knudsen@gmail.com or phone 519 606-
0016.
The next hike scheduled will be held on June 8 along
the Woodland Trail starting at 1 p.m.
The Woodland Trail is the first natural environment
trail created by the BRVTA. Organizers note that it is
a superb hike. The steep sections have stairs to
allow safety for people and the surrounding
environment. Hikers should enjoy the scenic beauty,
serenity of the ravines, old pastures and glacial hills
as they hike along old gravel quarry roads, lumber
paths and deer trails. Participants should meet on the

The Bayfield Lions held their 26th annual Walk for Dog Guides on June 1 and it was another
success. Twenty dogs and their owners had a leisurely walk along the Heritage Trail on what
turned out to be a perfect day. Hot dogs and coffee were made available to all the human
participants and each dog received a goodie bag as well as a prize.
"We want to thank everyone who participated, especially the dogs. Together we raised nearly
$6,000 on behalf of the Lions Foundation of Canada's Purina Walk for Dog Guides program.
Although this may not seem like a large amount, however, based on the size of our community,
this puts us in the top ten percent of all participating communities across Canada. Way to go
Bayfield!" said walk organizer, Lion Jack Pal. " I also want to thank all our volunteers, both
Lions and friends of the Lions, who assisted in this very important project. It would not have
been possible without their help" said Pal.
Lion Dave Overboe addressed the participants following the walk.
The Lions will be undertaking the Walk for Dog Guides again next year on June 7, 2015 the
first Sunday in June. Planning is already underway to make it an even more special event next
year in the hope that they can increase participation. If you missed the walk on Sunday, you
can still make donations by contacting Pal at 519 565-5340.

NEW BAYFTELD FOODLAND OPENS
TRIPLE THREAT IN GROCERIES COMES TO VILLAGE
PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
The first week of June 1987 the community was all
a buzz with the excitement of a new grocery store
opening in a former boat building shop across
from Clan Gregor Square — Bayfield Foodland
would go on to see three different owners who all
served the community well in that location. And
this week the community is buzzing yet again as

With a little over 17 hours remaining until their Grand Opening, Franchise Owner Brad Maidment and his
mother, Janet, took a moment to stop and smell the flowers.
The technology at the bakery has expanded to include digital images transformed into cake decorations.
The frozen and refrigerated items are all kept stacked neatly behind closed doors.
Bayfield Foodland moved to its new and shiny
location — a long time dream realized for the
community and the family that has run the
business since September of 1998 — The
Maidments.
"We consider ourselves a triple threat in groceries
now," said Janet Maidment.
"We have tripled our size, tripled our staff and
tripled our selection," agreed Brad Maidment.
The new store located at 71 Bayfield Main Street
South is 15,500 square feet and every inch has
been used to advantage with an expanded fresh
department, full floral, deli and bakery offerings
and a Home Ready Meal range including fresh
sandwiches and hot soups. Both dry goods and
frozen foods have been expanded and there is a
whole health and wellness line catering to those
with special dietary requests like gluten-free foods.
"We now have 60 employees," said Janet. "At the
old location we had 18."
"And we will be open 24 hours a day from opening
day until Labour Day," said Brad. "We plan to offer
extended hours in the off season as well."
During this interview held on the afternoon of May
30 it was obvious that both Janet and Brad were
looking forward to opening day.
"We are beyond excited," said Brad. "We have
been waiting a lot of years for this."
In 1998 Janet and husband, Marty (now retired),
ran the business with their two children Joy and
Brad helping out. With the advent of the new store
Brad has become the franchise owner but Janet is
still there offering her invaluable support.
The site for the new store was purchased in 2005
and then the waiting began until ground was
broken on the site nine months ago. Rochon
Building Corporation of Toronto oversaw the
project.
"Everything kind of fell into place finally. The chain
is doing a loft of upgrades and facelifts to their
stores and it was our turn," said Brad.
The Bayfield Foodland isn't the only business
moving to the south end of town. The LCBO will
be moving to the neighborhood as well. Opening
day is slated for June 12.
Friday, May 30th dawned sunny and warm. The
big red Bayfield Foodland sign stood out proud
against the bright blue sky. In front of the store the
residents of Bayfield lined up to wait for the doors
to open promptly at 9 a.m. Inside dignitaries,
special guests and staff gathered to share a few
thoughts on opening day.
Brad welcomed those in attendance,
representatives from Foodland's head office, Bill

To ensure the freshest possible florals and produce work was still going on Thursday afternoon to stock the
shelves for the next morning.
The new Bayfield Foodland as it looked on Thursday afternoon from a higher vantage point.
On Thursday afternoon, employees in the deli and the bakery were busy preparing for opening day.
Dowson, mayor of Bluewater; Stephen McAuley,
chief administrative office for Bluewater; Craig
Metzger, senior planner for Bluewater; and Bill
Strong representing MP Ben Lobb,
representatives from the two local foodbanks (see
photo top of issue) and staff and family.
Mayor Dowson then addressed those gathered.
"This project started seven or eight years ago and
I would like to thank Sobeys for coming to
Bayfield. It has been a long time coming with talk
of it probably for the last 12 years," said Dowson.
"Bayfield has really moved uptown with water,
sewers, a new library and now a new grocery
store - the village has become the envy of other
communities this size. It is my hope that the
community will patronize this store and make life
easier and better for the people that are doing
their best to make life easier and better for all of
us."
A highlight of the morning celebrations was
Bayfield Foodland's donation of two $1,000 gift
cards to two local food banks — Blessings in Zurich
and the Bayfield Food Bank (Feed My Sheep).
The recipients were shocked by the generous gift.
Rev. Wayne Malott said, "We are honored to
receive this donation. Foodland always
remembers us and is an avid and consistent
supporter of the food banks. This donation will be
very meaningful and help the disadvantaged in our
community live fuller lives."
Norma Grainger of Blessings simply said, "I'm too
overwhelmed to say anything."
And with that the group processed out of the store
to the cut the ribbon and a very excited crowd was
then let in through the automatic doors to see for
themselves the new triple threat in groceries.

Another precious piece of jewelery has succumbed to the sands in Bayfield. I recently received this note from Mary Ann
Colihan asking if I might share the information with our readership.
"I lost a watch at the Howard Street part of the beach on Sunday afternoon (June 1). It is a Raymond Weil watch with a ratty
gray leather band and I would be so grateful if it was found."
She is offering a reward for its return. It was a gift from her husband 20 years ago.
Please email the Bayfield Breeze if you have any knowledge of this missing watch and I will put you in contact with Mary Ann. -
