"Croquet is an amalgam of golf, curling, billiards and chess," said Bill Rowat, the tournament coordinator. "The difference between professional croquet and the back -lawn croquet you all remember as children, is like comparing major league baseball to a kids' sandlot pick-up game. Croquet is played in many countries around the world. International playoffs are held each year in a different country. World croquet play-offs were originally held in Wimbledon before being eclipsed by tennis." Although there has been a smattering of participation by BICC players in outside croquet events throughout the decades, Bayfield members have recently begun playing regularly on the tournament circuit and done well. So well in fact that there has been growing curiosity about this little Ontario village that is producing such high caliber players. Bayfield, with a population of only 900, has 110 members in its croquet club. It is the largest and oldest club in Canada. The tournament was played on courts in Seaforth and at the village court. The event was featured on both radio and television. "It was a wonderful tournament," said Toni Kemp, president of the BICC.

Heavy drinking is defined as consuming five or more alcoholic drinks on one occasion, once a month or more. "Drinking too much, too often is a concerning issue," said Senior Public Health Promoter, Angela Willert. "People are often unaware of the consequences of over -drinking in the short and long term." cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek421ssue328/tabid/746/Default.aspx 5/18 6/13/2019 Week 42 Issue 328 Whether it's a night of celebration or drinking games, it's easy to lose track of how many drinks you've had. Continuous drinking can increase the risk of short and long-term alcohol-related harm. The most common short-term risk of heavy drinking is a 'hangover'— headache, fatigue and nausea. However, more serious risks include: alcohol poisoning, violence and injuries (car crashes, falls, fights), risky sexual behavior, oor or regrettable decisions, problems with finances, work or school, long-term health effects, such as liver cirrhosis, heart problems, cancer.

It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters." — Abraham Lincoln Yes folks, the Canadian Federal Election is this coming Monday, Oct. 19. I like exercising my right to vote and will happily head to the Bayfield Community Centre to cast my ballot. I must say this has been one of the more interesting campaigns for me in recent years and I think four things have played a strong factor in it for me. The first one would be our recent trip to the Maritimes. Mingling with the people in the little communities we traveled through and reading the homemade campaign signs erected on their lawns gave a rather clear indication of what the collective of minds of those in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island were thinking. I'll give you a clue – I didn't see a tide of ----. The second would be social media – I don't think my Facebook Feed has ever been so opinionated – but it has been great to see and share what others are expressing and debating about the issues and the candidates. The third is Rick Mercer. Yes, our very own comedian with a conscious. He is using every ounce of energy to get people out to vote and I admire that. The fourth is our four year-old grandson who went with his mother to an advance polling station so that she could cast her vote. She said he was filled with all kinds of questions about the process and declared that he would vote for Grandpa John and Gramel. Reason enough to mark an "X" in a box I'd say. Now is not the time to be so very Canadian that we're apathetic or cynical about voting. It matters not to me who you cast your vote for, we have the right to keep that a personal and private journey, what matters most is that you vote. – Melody P.S.
