They now have a dedicated bar and restaurant, an expanded coffee shop and a gourmet pizza place. Some of the staff, Can, Peter, Carlos (owner), Linda, Meghan and Cody, took a moment from their busy summer schedule to pose for a picture on the new outdoor patio suitable for pizza diners. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) Carlos Murguia and Doug Marr had a lot of things in common most notably a passion for both food and art. The duo opened Davinci Ristorante on Bayfield's Main Street North eight years ago. In November 2014 they set their sites on expanding their business and purchased the building their restaurant was in with the intent of expanding into the former location of a women's clothing store known as Cammies. "Doug had a vision," said Cari LeClair, manager at Davinci's. "He worked on renovations from December to April with the help of one of our chefs, Cody McWhirter. The new design he created couldn't have been done any better. It is very practical." The bar in the restaurant was expanded and the cafe was moved into the middle of the building while a take-out pizzeria was constructed on the opposite end of the building from the restaurant. "We now have a full service licensed restaurant with six kegs on draft up from two and a bar to sit at as well," said LeClair. For the summer season the influences of new chef, Kevin Greaves, owner of London, Ontario's Jambayala can be seen on the restaurant menu with additions such as, "Thai Coconut Tilapia", "Jerk Chicken" and "Pin Piri Chicken Supreme". "The cafe offers specialty coffees and we've added homemade cheese biscuits and scones to the mix. Something people were asking for," said LeClair, who herself once owned a tearoom. Undoubtedly, the biggest change to the property has been the creation of DaVinci Gourmet Pizza. "Doug felt there was a need for the pizzeria and it is evident that there was. The overall feedback for the addition has been positive," said LeClair. Davinci Chef Dan Carter developed the pizzas and created six tempting options that aren't the standard Pepperoni or Deluxe — although those old favorites are on the menu too. Pizza choices include: Assorted Seafood and Garlic Butter, Double Bacon Cheeseburger, Goat Cheese and Roasted Vegetables with Basil Pesto Tomato Sauce, Grilled Chicken with Carmelized Onions, Portabello Mushrooms and BBQ Glaze, Peameal and Grilled Pineapple Rings with Aged White Cheddar, and Quesadilla with Green Peppers, Sauteed Onions and Marinated Striploin. LeClair notes that the goat cheese roasted vegetables pizza as well as the peameal and pineapple pizza have been the most popular since the pizzeria opened on June 11. But she personally has a weakness for the seafood pizza. Town Hall on July 12 to celebrate her over 30 years as Librarian at the Bayfield Library. A special thank you goes to Barbara Brown, Gayle Dunn and Sandy Scotchmer for organizing such a wonderful day — one that she will never forget!

They are hosting an "Off to the Fair" Craft Hour at the Bayfield Library on Aug. 1. Children can take advantage of this opportunity to create items for the fair from the prize book and perhaps win a ribbon or some prize money by entering their work in the fair to be held Aug. 14-16. The craft hour will start at 11:30 a.m. and is open to children of all ages. The youngsters will be using "Play -doh", markers, glue, paint and sponges. Items they could make include a tractor, robot, denim pockets or potato prints. They could even write a limerick. This sounds like it could get messy. Participants are asked to wear old clothes. On fair weekend the FOBL will be hosting their annual Book Sale at the library. FOBL Members will be treated to a special preview sale on the Friday from 2- 4 p.m. Membership has its privileges. The public sale will be held on Aug. 15 and 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Proceeds from the sale will go to FOBL projects and programs. TOWN HALL The "Ennis Sisters", from Newfoundland, headlining direct from the Goderich Celtic Festival, will appear at the Bayfield Town Hall on Aug. 3. The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society is thrilled to have these award-winning sisters visit Bayfield as part of their Celtic Concert Tour.

Unfortunately, Marr didn't get a chance to see the first pizzas served as he died on May 13 after a hard fought battle with cancer but such was his drive and enthusiasm for the project that Murguia, LeClair and the staff are working together to make the expansion a success. Marr's spirit is still very much alive throughout the restaurant, cafe and garden art gallery as his works of art hang alongside Murguia's fine art photography. All their work is original and available for purchase. Davinci Ristorante is open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. The cafe is open from 8 a.m. to 6ish p.m. EXPERIENCED GEOCACHER LEADS .I 11�1114�i I - 5A[10Z1 1 11 11; :.I 11 The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association bimonthly hike held on July 12 was held along the Woodland Trail.

(Photos by Jack Pal) The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) bimonthly hike held on July 12 along the Woodland Trail had a special theme — Geocaching. Jim Boere, of Paul Bunyan Camp, was the guest hike leader. Boere is an enthusiastic and experienced Geocacher, and has placed Geocaches on the Woodland, Sawmill Trails. During the hike, Boere stopped at locations along the trail where his cell phone and GPS signaled that a Geocache was close by. There is a clue given and it is up to the Geocacher to solve the mystery and find the Geocache. Once found he opened the container, and showed the list of those who had found it previously. Boere has Geocached across North America and other countries. He has currently found 7,349 Geocaches. This is a great activity for all ages, but might be of particular interest to young people to get them outdoors and engaged in hiking. This is also a great opportunity to engage all of the family in an active outdoor activity. From Wikipedia — "Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world. "A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook (with a pen or pencil). The Geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. After signing the log, the cache must be placed back exactly where the person found it. Larger Knox Presbyterian Church will be the location for Kintail on the Road Day Camp every Wednesday at the church during July and August. Camp Kintail, the area Presbyterian Church camp, will offer a Christian based Day Camp from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The very capable and well-trained young adult staff of Camp Kintail will lead the children in days of games, songs and faith. The camp will be for children who have completed JK up to Grade 6. The children are welcome to attend all the sessions or just one or two. The camp will run from now until Aug. 26. The cost is $5 per child per day or $7 for two or more children. Lunch and snacks are provided. For more information please call the church at 519 565-2913 and leave a message. UNITED CHURCH While most parents strive to raise kids to be responsible and respectful, they are often left wondering how to raise them to be spiritual. Fostering a sense of awe and gratitude can lead to increased awareness of our common humanity and a sense of belonging to the larger cosmos. With busy lives and an increasingly secular society, parents, and grandparents, may be unsure of how to engage children and youth on issues that might have been previously addressed in Sunday School: questions of meaning and purpose in life, concepts of 'the sacred' and learning to think beyond themselves. These challenges and more will be addressed at two evening workshops sponsored by St. Andrew's United Church in Bayfield on July 28 and Aug. 25 from 7- 8:30 p.m. Parents and grandparents are welcome to come and join in some interactive discussion and hopefully take home some helpful tools for fostering spirituality at home. The evenings will be co -lead by Huron -Perth Presbytery Youth Minister Kathy Douglas, and St. Andrew's minister, Rev. Elise Feltrin. Please contact the church for more information 519 565-2854. There is no charge for this event and everyone is welcome to attend either or both of the sessions. COMMUNITY FAIR CHURCH SERVICE Following the success of last year's service, the Bayfield Ministerial group has been busy organizing another ecumenical outdoor worship service to take place under the tent in Agriculture Park at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 16. The guest speaker will be Alex Leith, of the Queen's Bush Rural Ministries, a charitable organization that cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week30lssue3l6/tabid/734/Default.aspx 3/14 6/13/2019 week 30 Issue 316 containers such as plastic storage containers (Tupperware or similar) or ammunition boxes can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little financial value, although sometimes they are sentimental. Geocaching shares many aspects with benchmarking, trigpointing, orienteering, treasure -hunting, letterboxing, and waymarking. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers (Tupperware or similar) or ammunition boxes can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little financial value. "Geocaching was originally similar to the 160 - year -old game letterboxing, which uses clues and references to landmarks embedded in stories. Geocaching was conceived shortly after the removal of Selective Availability from the Global Positioning System on May 2, 2000, because the improved accuracy of the system allowed for a small container to be specifically placed and located. The first documented The Geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. After signing the log, the cache must be placed back exactly where the person found it. placement of a GPS -located cache took place on May 3, 2000, by Dave Ulmer of Beavercreek, Oregon. "The activity was originally referred to as GPS stash hunt or gpsstashing. This was changed shortly after the original hide when it was suggested in the gpsstash eGroup that "stash" could have negative connotations and the term Geocaching was adopted." The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association members will host their next hike on July 23 at 9 a.m. at Bannockburn Conservation Area. Bannockburn is home to six different natural communities: wet meadow, white cedar, deciduous forest, marsh, old -field and aquatic. The trail is partially wheelchair accessible. The trail is 2 KM long, difficulty is level 3 and the hike will take approx. one hour. It is located on 76249 Bannockburn Line, first side road east of Varna. The hike leaders will be Roberta Stemp 519 565-2777 and Dave MacLaren 519 565-5480.

HURON ARTS & HERITAGE NETWORK Huron County residents can "test drive their creative side' through a new series of introductory art classes. The art class series offers participants over twenty different classes to choose from, covering a wide range of artistic disciplines including: painting, theatre, dance, music, clay, mosaic, felting, lantern making, encaustic and printmaking. All of the classes were designed with the beginner in mind and have a registration fee of just $20 each (includes all materials), with the hopes of making it easier for everyone to have a chance to participate and try something new. "We recognized that cost and time required can be barriers to taking art classes, so all of the classes in the series have the same low registration fee and none of them are more than an eight hour time commitment," said Cultural Development Officer with the County of Huron, Rick Sickinger. "This series of classes is really about encouraging everyone, regardless of previous experience, to have some fun and explore different artistic fields and media without having to worry about cost, time or skill level." The "Test Drive Your Creative Side" series is produced by Huron Arts & Heritage Network and the County of Huron Cultural Services Department along with partnering arts organizations: Art aRound Town, Blyth East Side Dance, Blyth Festival, Elizabeth's Art Gallery, Goderich Celtic Roots Festival, Goderich Little Theatre, Imagine Huron and Worth Their Salt. The Ontario Trillium Foundation should receive special thanks for providing funding support for the project.

With the opening of the new Stratford -Perth archives this past June 6, a Bayfield Cottager's Perth archive collection got a new home. According to the Stratford -Perth Archives June 2012 newsletter, it was Bayfield cottager, R. Thomas Orr's (1870-1957) early collection of historical material, known as, "The Orr Family Collection," begun in 1903, that was the nucleus of the Perth County Archives, formed on Jan. 13, 1972. The Orr family home was in Stratford. They rented a cottage in Grand Bend until they were told they couldn't swim on Sundays there. So they bought a piece of land from Lucy Woods and in 1922 built a cottage across from her on Bayfield Terrace. The Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) also opened their Archives Room in the 1970`s (1977). When the new Bayfield Library opened, the Bayfield Historical Society made an arrangement with the Municipality of Bluewater to move The Archives into the old library and convert the 1893 Archives' building into a Heritage Centre to celebrate Bayfield Cindy Sinko, archives technician, Stratford -Perth Archives, easily slides open one of the many huge new abutting storage units. personalities and events. The Centre celebrated its opening on May 18, just three weeks before the Stratford -Perth Archives' opening. The Stratford -Perth Archives is located right next door to the Stratford -Perth Museum. Known simply as Museum Campus, they're located immediately west of Stratford, on the South side of Hwy. 8.

Since 2011, the Huron Backpacks for Kids Program has been supporting families that cannot afford the cost of school supplies and backpacks for their children. Last year they were able to provide over 300 school -aged children with a backpack of supplies for their first day of school. Planning has begun for the 2015-16 school year. Participating Huron County Food Banks, including the Bayfield Food Bank, will be taking registrations until July 29. Individuals, local businesses and service clubs are also welcome to contribute to the cause. Income-tax receipts will be issued for donations of $20 or more. Financial donations are ideal, as this allows organizers to purchase grade -appropriate items for children that have registered. In addition to the participating food banks and the Huron County Food Bank Distribution Center, area hospitals and the Huron County Health Unit are participating in the Huron Backpacks for Kids Program. To register a child or to make a donation please call Trinity Anglican Church at 519 565-2790 and leave a message. HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) works to end hunger in about 40 countries. Through wars, drought or floods, representatives of the CFGB are on the ground to help the hungry. They also provide agriculture and livelihood programs around the world, working with farmers to increase their yield and teaching nutrition to reduce malnutrition. The Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) speaker this month will be Jean Bennet, who has traveled as a volunteer on three monitoring trips with the organization to East Africa, Central America and, most recently, Kenya and Rwanda — to observe first hand how CFGB aid was used to improve the life of people there. She will give an illustrated talk about what she saw on her most recent trip to Kenya and Rwanda. All are welcome to attend this evening that will be held on July 27, at 7:30 p.m. in the Bayfield Lions' Community Building.

Photos from the archival collection will be featured. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week30lssue3l6/tabid/734/Default.aspx 5/14 6/13/2019 week 30 Issue 316 COMMUNITIES IN BLOOM JUDGES TO TOUR MUNICIPALITY NEXT WEEK Bluewater will show Communities in Bloom Ontario (CIBO) its break from traditional methods while remembering experiences of the past during an evaluation on July 28-29. Famous for Bayfield's Heritage Conservation District, the fourth oldest in Ontario, the Municipality of Bluewater is well known for its deep well of built and cultural heritage and clean-cut communities. The goals are shifting to include development of purposeful public spaces and urban forestry. Grace Dekker Brad Beatty Communities in Bloom judges Grace Dekker of Lambton Shores, ON and Brad Beatty, of Stratford, ON will be taken on a personal and active tour from Hensall to Bayfield; from Varna to St. Joseph and many stops in between. Dekker and Beatty will be tasked with assigning numerical points for each of eight criteria established by the CIBO for an overall percentage. The local planning committee will bring the community's goals and achievements to life in short presentations from groups including the committee for the Dr. Jennie Smillie Park in Hensall, the Bluewater Public Works Department and Bayfield Tree Project Committee (BTP) which has planted over 300 trees in Bayfield in the last four years. "Our plan is to purchase trees with the assistance of grants and fundraising activities. With co- operation of local landowners who will volunteer to care for the trees nearby their properties (principally by keeping them watered), our team will work with community members, with the advice of Municipal staff, to coordinate the planting of trees systematically throughout the Bayfield Settlement Area. We will work with groups from other parts of the Municipality to assist them in developing similar projects," states the BTP's website. The Hensall park pays homage to Dr. Jennie Smillie, the first female surgeon in Canada, who was born on a Hensall-area farm in 1878. The Bluewater Blooms program helped open the park two years ago and now wants to show its repurposing from an unattractive empty space in Hensall's commercial district to a colorful public space. With five years of experience, the Bluewater Blooms planning committee continues to use the tour, written material and successful special projects launched by the municipality and the community to raise the municipality's score and profile across Ontario. Comprised of representatives of merchants, community volunteers and municipal council, the Bluewater Blooms Committee has called on representatives of these sectors plus municipal staff to join the evaluation tour to personally present their interests to the judges. This is an exciting point of the competition as members are proud to show why they love to work and play here. Bluewater Council established the Bluewater Communities in Bloom program in 2010. They took that commitment a step further last year by declaring the second week of June as Communities in Bloom Week. Points of interest are identified in each community that fit into the eight criteria: Tidiness, Environmental Action, Heritage Conservation, Urban Forestry, Landscape Turf and Groundcovers, Floral Displays and Community Involvement. Council recognizes the economic and social benefits derived from participation in Communities in Bloom and celebrates the The museum needs help gathering photos of present day Huron County from residents. Community members are encouraged to submit recent, high- resolution photos with minimal editing that were taken in the county.

It's part of the largest infrastructure investment in Ontario's history -- more than $130 billion over 10 years — which is supported by a number of initiatives, including unlocking the value of public assets to help make investments in transit, transportation and other priority projects. Through the construction of important infrastructure projects like this one, our government is demonstrating our commitment to building Ontario up by keeping our communities strong and creating new jobs," said Deputy Premier, President of the Treasury Board and Minister Responsible for the Poverty Reduction Strategy, the Honorable Deborah Matthews. The $1 -billion Small Communities Fund provides funding for priority public infrastructure projects that deliver on local needs. Canada and Ontario will each provide $272 million to support projects in communities across the province with fewer than 100,000 residents. This funding will help address local priorities, supporting job creation and economic growth, thus sustaining a high quality of life in small communities across Ontario for years to come.

The ABCA will provide administrative assistance, guidance, and support to projects in targeted watersheds that include water quality monitoring projects, wetland and stream rehabilitation projects, construction of berms that reduce overland nutrient and sediment transport, and the installation of cattle fencing and alternative watering devices.

"Lake Huron is vital to the health of the people of Ontario. It is tied to our economic health as well. On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority, I would like to thank the Government of Canada for this support. This grant helps landowners and community groups on the Canadian side of the Lake Huron Basin. It allows all levels of government, public health, and conservation agencies, to work effectively and efficiently to protect and improve the region's water quality," said Ute Stumpf, vice -chair of the ABCA Board of Directors. id Attics !

LAKE HURON j?L L t'S7AVY' 1.iMJft'11 "BAYFIELD BREEZE ` At four years old my grandson is already learning to appreciate the community that can only be found in small towns like Bayfield. His family came to the village to spend a long weekend and he ran some errands with his grandparents on Friday afternoon. We managed to fit him into his car seat, thanks to his pointers as to how this is to be done, and we were off to the grocery store. A couple minutes later we were parked in the store lot. A little voice in the back seat said, "It wasn't very far to get to the store!" Melody Falconer -Pounder He held my hand as we walked across the lot to the front entrance. His Grandpa and I both greeting people by name as we passed by them. Once in his seat in the grocery cart we did the rounds. He met Joe from the meat department, and Brad the owner and Janet his mom. We also said hello to the teen working the cash register, as she was once a Bayfield Brownie. As we were walking side-by-side out of the store, our grandson looked up at me and asked, "Gramel? Do you know everyone?" And so it was that as we drove down Main Street Bayfield to our next destination a little voice in the back seat asked, "Gramel? Do you know that guy?" "Do you know that girl?" Do you know those guys?" He fired off these queries as he pointed to wandering tourists as we drove past them down the street. And invariably there was the odd merchant, local resident or summer person that indeed I did know which contributed to his theory. Ah, life in a small town — we wouldn't have it any other way! — Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
