The portrait of Louis MacLeod was painted by Bruce Stapleton. Circa 1938. A copy was donated by the Willock/Orr family. It has been a very busy and productive summer at the Bayfield Archives and Heritage Centre. "We are pleased to advise that a new booklet, 'Bayfield - The History of our Harbour' is now available," said Ralph Laviolette, archivist. "As the flyleaf of the cover says, it was put together by Emily Hodgins, our summer student assistant, based on tour notes prepared for the 2012 Sail and Canvas event. This is intended to be the first edition." Laviolette went on to say that if, and as, Bayfield Historical Society members and Bayfield Breeze readers provide more information and anecdotes, preparation of a second edition will begin. A number of stories and memories have not yet been added — they include the story of the hand -made Atkinson diving helmet, the story of the Donald Duck sloop that plied the harbor in summertime, stories of the cottages that overlook the harbor area, stories of the diving feats off the old steel bridge, and stories of various fishing derbies Hodgins has also been busy meeting with some long-time Bayfield residents to record their oral histories. There is much to add to the booklet about personalities and memories. Other contributions to the Bayfield Archives of photos (or scans) or memories about the Bayfield Harbour would be much appreciated. Laviolette can be reached at 519 440-6206 or on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons from 1- 4 p.m. at the Bayfield Archives and Heritage Centre. Copies of the booklet are available there for $5.

Combined with the Canadian population reaching 35 million, the theme of this year's run references the unusual convergence of dates and numbers: "35 for 35". Terry asked Canadians for a dollar per person. This year, the Foundation extends that challenge again, with the goal of raising $35 million for cancer research. There is no doubt that Terry's example of courage and perseverance lives on today in "Terry Foxers" of all ages. In 2010, McKenna Modler, of Lansdowne, ON, was diagnosed with brain cancer. "When they told me I couldn't believe it, I remember being really scared. I needed surgery to insert a shunt to relieve the pressure in my brain and had to have 70 chemotherapy treatments for more than two years." Today, McKenna is a thriving 15 -year old who graces the Terry Fox "Thank You for My Life" poster that will be displayed this September in more than 8,500 schools across Canada. She expresses gratitude for the health she now enjoys. "I often think about Terry Fox - what if he hadn't raised money for cancer research? Would my treatments have been worse? Would they have even been able to treat my cancer? I am here today because Terry dedicated his life to helping people like me." Two things kept Terry going during the long, difficult days in 1980: the dollars donated for research and the supporters who encouraged him along the way. On Sept. 20, hundreds of thousands of Terry Fox supporters, like McKenna and her family and friends, will participate in their favorite Canadian tradition to ensure that cancer research continues to forge ahead. From coast to coast, people will be working together to outrun cancer. ENTRIES SOUGHT FOR FALL FOTO FEST PHOTO CONTEST On the menu at Sunset on Summer.

These youth are keeping the 100 -year tradition active and alive. (Submitted photos) Memories are all that remain of the 159th Bayfield Fair held on Aug. 14-16 with its theme "Blue Jeans and Machines". Attendance was up with many more children entering the fairgrounds during the three days and warm weather greeted everyone. The opening on Friday evening with Art Bennett acknowledged the 100 -year history of 4-H in Ontario. Richard Fitoussi judged the Ribs Cook -off this year and declared The Docks Restaurant was the overall winner. Second place went to The Ashwood Inn and the third place ribbon went to The Albion Hotel. Many people took part in the golf cart challenge with only one blindfolded driver going off course into the fence. Their able sighted partner must have been misunderstood in their instructions as to where to drive. A steady stream of people took part in the ax and knife throwing and they admired the accuracy of the members who brought the equipment as a demonstration. The parade had many machines this year from antique tractors to decorated bikes. The Bayfield Agricultural Society President, Jentje Steenbeek, Homecraft President, Jean Dunn, and Seaforth Ambassador, Amber Brodie, enjoyed their luxurious drive along the parade route in a 1952 Packard. There were many white -dressed 4-H exhibitors presenting their skills with their dairy calves or sheep. They keep the 100 -year tradition active and alive. Visitors heard the Commissioners Own Pipes & Drums and the Clinton Pipe Band play in the fairgrounds following the parade. Dick Joiner, a magician, had the big tent almost filled with spectators for his show. The dog agility show drew people out of the tent to watch several energetic dogs perform. Watching the canines racing through the obstacle course was a crowd favorite. The dunk tank gathered an enthusiastic following thanks to the volunteering of Bluewater Mayor Tyler Hessel, radio personality Fadi Didi, and Bayfield Ward Councilor Bill Whetstone. The three men were good sports about encouraging the marksmanship of those willing to try to unseat them as they sat above a tank of cold water. The exhibits filled the arena. The handcraft section certainly saw an increase in entries. Quilts and other items filled the tables and display behind. There were some exceptional pieces of art shown with sketches being the main art form. Creativity was evident in the children's work and the woodworking sections. Preserving local food seems to be alive and well if the culinary arts section is any reflection as to what is happening in the area. The Old MacDonald's Farm display building was a hive of activity as all ages showed an interest in visiting with the animals. 565-2202 or Scott at 519 565-2827. Tables of eight or more can be reserved. The BRVTA has been actively building and maintaining a network of trails in Bluewater over the past nine years. These trails, built entirely by volunteers, are for public use by local residents and tourists alike thanks to a partnership with Bluewater and the generosity of private landowners. Over the years the BRVTA has contributed much to community improvement through fundraising. Sponsorship of the Terry Fox Run for the past four years has raised over $14,000. An additional $1,000 was raised for the Goderich MRI Imaging project and $1,200 for the Clinton Hospital. In 2013, the Festival of Fitness and Art in Bayfield used the trails to raise in excess of $4,000 for the Goderich Hospital. The trails are free of charge to the public and provide a superb opportunity for families and people of all generations to enjoy the beauty of our area. Organizers hope people will come out for a wonderful evening and support the Bayfield trails and encourage them to get their tickets early!

Week 35 Issue 321 Skilled woodcarvers greeted people at the gates sharing what amazing creativity they could generate even with a chainsaw. In the evening fairgoers had the opportunity to hear the folk styled songs of "Trent Severn" or experience the excellent instrumental skills of "The Sadies". On Sunday a community church service drew more than 140 people to give thanks and support a regional organization — the Queen's Bush Ministry. Parking was a premium for the horse shows. Trailers had to be parked along John Avenue since there was not enough room on the grounds. Miniature horses, heavy horses and Friesians entertained and tried to capture a judge's attention. The largest midway in a long time provided rides for not just the children. It was reported that several adults liked the rides as well. The midway was a real spectacle during the evening hours with all its colored lights. All who attended the fair take with them their own personal memory of the events. The Directors like to have feedback on what went well, what needed to be improved, or things to be considered for next year. They have provided a way to get input by having people go to the fair website, click on "About the Fair" and fill in the form under Feedback. NOT THE BEST START TO A SATURDAY Some unwanted excitement occurred at the corner of Bayfield Main Street South (Hwy. 21) and Jane Street when a car attempting to turn out onto the highway from ]ane collided with a passing pickup truck on Saturday morning. Thankfully no one seemed to be injured but the car did sustain extensive damage. Members of the Bayfield Fire Department were on the scene to clean up a spill that resulted from the accident. Bayfield Garage employees did not have far to travel to answer the call.

Instructor Pat Pal lead the group through the routine. PHOTOS BY JACK PAL A dedicated group of instructors and volunteers hosted a "party" recently at the Bayfield Community Centre to introduce more members of the community to the benefits of exercise. Active participants donned purple shirts, representing One Care, which sponsors the fitness programs, and the Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging, which developed the extensive training program completed by all the volunteer instructors. The "purple shirters" demonstrated a sample Total Body Fit 2 class to an audience of about 30 people. People watching were able to try some of the equipment, including exercise balls and stretch bands. After the class, all enjoyed refreshments, and a draw sent everyone home with lots of information and a prize. Special thanks to all who helped organize and participated, and to those who attended this event. "Our hope is that many more will be coming out to our classes and enjoying this fun way to become more healthy and fit. If you missed the party you can still join our Total Body Fit 2 class, held Monday and Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.," said Pat Pal, an instructor.

SUBMISSIONS have always loved going to live theatre. The excitement of dressing up a little bit and perhaps dining out beforehand makes it an experience to be anticipated. Unfortunately, in more recent years circumstances curtailed a lot of opportunities to see live cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week35issue321 /tabid/739/Default. aspx 10/11 6/13/2019 Week 35 Issue 321 productions, but now as retired innkeepers, this year we could indulge. So when my step -daughter and her husband gave me a gift certificate for a local theatre I decided to add some funds to it and go see all the plays being offered on the stage. They did not disappoint and were a highlight of my summer activities. remember the first time I saw live professional theatre at the Stratford Festival. I was in my twenties and with my husband's family. My future in-laws loved to expand the horizons of their grandchildren by treating them to a show once a year. This, however, was an adults only night as the play was "Cabaret" starring Brent Carver, who I had seen perform on television and quite admired (I maybe saw more than I needed to of him that night but I digress.) I remember when the curtain started to rise I grabbed on to my future husband's arm and didn't let go for the whole performance. It was right then and there I decided that this family was stuck with me! Melody Falconer -Pounder Back in the good old days of the newspaper industry we used to get complimentary tickets to see local professional theatre to either write a feature or compose a review. I was lucky enough to work at a paper where none of the other reporters wanted to go to plays so I got to go to them all. And I am happy to report that in all those productions there was only one that was in my personal opinion just so dreadful I just couldn't write a fair and balanced review. You know the old adage, "If you can't say anything nice..." Luckily that was not the case this year and if I had to write a review for the plays I've seen I would robustly pen, "Bravo! Bravo!" — Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
