Rental rates for Canada Post will jump from a dollar
a year to $2,000 a year for the space it rents for mail
boxes located in the Bayfield Library building located
on the village's Main Street.
More than a month ago Canada Post tried to renew
its dollar -a -year lease for 10 more years. Deputy -
Mayor Jim Fergusson asked Bluewater council not to
renew the lease until costs for hydro, heat and
cleaning were calculated by municipal staff.
Last week council learned the costs were $2,662 a
year. Councillor Dave Roy convinced council it
should charge $2,000 for five years.
The dollar -year lease originated 10 years ago when
all Canada Post services were included in a Post
Office on Main Street.
Fergusson later explained, "The merchants on Main
Street felt all mail services concentrated in one
location were a magnate for merchants. When the
Post Office separated its boxes and the mailing

Pint size horses will strut their stuff at the Huron Reach Centre in Clinton on June 18 as part of
the Bayfield Agricultural Society's American Miniature Horse Registry (AMHR) Sanctioned
Show.
The public is encouraged to come out and watch the horses and their handlers compete in this
family -friendly, free event starting at 8 a.m.
The horses competing in this "points" show are all 38 inches and under. The horses compete in
classes, and at this show there will be two judges who grade them in the points system. Then
they are placed up to sixth for ribbons.
They are judged for confirmation and performance. This show has 125 classes, including:
youth, halter, amateur, and driving. There are also COOL classes. This class stands for
Conquering Obstacles Overcoming Limitations. And there are even fun classes like jumping,
liberty and obstacle.
Halter classes are broken down into categories, starting by sex — mares, stallions and geldings,
then it's divided even further by ages - foals, two year-olds, and three and over. This allows the
judges to see horses in their own group and age to judge them more fairly.
services a few years ago the magnet that worked for
the merchants became broken."
More than 330 homes, cottages and some farm
buildings between Bayfield and Grand Bend are
being threatened by erosion along the Lake Huron
shoreline.
The threat was explained to Bluewater Council by
Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) last
week.
High lake water smashing against the shoreline cliffs
can be expected to cause more damage in future
years. ABCA expects warmer winters will increase
the problem because the lake will remain open
during the heavy winds of winter.
Barriers now being used along the beach won't stop
the erosion, an ABCA spokesperson explained.
Many of the existing barriers will increase the erosion
because it will divert the natural flow of the lake
water.
ABCA asked council to invest in consultants to help
evaluate the extent of the problem. Councillors John
Gillespie and George Irvine called ABCA's request
premature. They urged ABCA to deal with individual
property owners before hiring consultants. The two
councillors felt ABCA should first answer property
owners' questions and concerns. The majority of
council agreed.
Women are invited to the ultimate ladies' night when
Huron Hospice Volunteer Service presents the power
of the purse gala event, "Handbags for Hospice".
This evening sponsored by Realty Executives will be
held on June 23 at the Libro Community Hall, 239 Bill
Fleming Drive in Clinton.
The highlight of the event being held from 7-10 p.m
will be a charity purse auction featuring fashion and
designer handbags as well as other accessories.
Attendees can also indulge in desserts provided by
The Black Dog Pub and Bistro of Bayfield and a cash
bar.
Tickets are available now for $40 per person from
www.eventbrite.ca or for more information contact

The horses competing in this "points" show are all 38 inches and under.
"With that being said this show can go very late, last year which was our very first show went till
well past 2 a.m.," said Liz Elliott, one of the organizers. "We offer amateur classes that allow
people who do not train for others to compete in this class. You need to have an amateur card
that you apply for via the AMHR registry. Youth classes are broken down again via age groups
and again you must have a youth card to compete in these classes."
People come from all over the area to show at this event. Some travel up to five hours one-
way.

"Huron Reach is an awesome spot to host this show. They rent out stalls for those who are
traveling distance, and this allows them to spend the weekend. Horses will start arriving late
afternoon on June 17 and some won't leave till Sunday morning," said Elliott. "So come on out,
spend an hour or two just relaxing in the stands and watch what these wee horses can do."

Ann Brabender, administrator at the Bluewater Area Family Health Team (BAFHT) since the
centre's initiation eight years ago is retiring. BAFHT doctors, staff and Board members met
recently at the Oakwood Resort, Grand Bend, for an emotional send-off party.
The Bluewater Blooms Committee is offering the
chance to sponsor a flower planter on your
community's Main Street.
In past years, flowers were watered until Labour Day
and removed from the street before the end of
September. This year the Committee has planned to
extend the watering schedule all the way to
Thanksgiving and needs financial support to cover
the additional watering and maintenance schedule. A
donation of $75 covers all the extra costs and will be
recognized by acknowledgement on the planter.

Such is the passion and enthusiasm Brabender has for the expansion project and her energy is
much appreciated by all involved with the BAFHT.
Brabender has been with the team since the centre was started in 2008. In the following eight
years, the number of patients with the BAFHT has risen from 1,680 to 4,150 today, with a
target of 5,340 rostered patients within the next year or so.
When the clinic moved to the centre of town in the building once occupied by Hay Mutual
Insurance, there were two physicians and one allied health professional. Today, the building
accommodates three full-time physicians with a fourth joining the team in September, and four
full-time allied health professionals.
The new facility will have space available for the BAFHT to partner with other health care
agencies and will offer specific programs for the community. BAFHT programs have surpassed
the provincial average and the clinic has never been in a deficit position since it began.
Brabender said, "The BAFHT may be small in terms of personnel, but a dedicated staff and

This past Sunday, June 12, there was another Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA)
hike on the beautiful woodsy Mavis' Trail and the adjoining wheel chair accessible Taylor Trail
The weather was perfect for this truly inter -generational event. Although windy at the lake, the
walk along Mavis' Trail was sheltered and enjoyed by all participants. It was a prime time to see
some amazing wild phlox and daisies along the trail.
BRVTA holds guided hikes twice a month: the second Sunday of the month at 1 p.m. and the
fourth Thursday morning at 9 a.m.. The next hike will take place at Naftel's Creek Conservation
area; half way between Bayfield and Goderich on Highway 21 on June 23. All are welcome.
It was a prime time to see some amazing daisies along the trail.

are two parking lots available so visitors are asked
not park on the highway as it will be under
construction this Spring.

The Aldeburgh Connection last performed in Bayfield four
years ago, at the time of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond
Jubilee. They returned in time for her 90th birthday
celebrations, and performed some of the same music in
her honor.

In addition, the audience enjoyed the world
premiere of "Summer on Lake Winnipeg", written
especially for Ralls and Ubukata by their friend,
Winnipeg native, John Greer.
Westman grew up on a farm in the area, spent
summers in Bayfield, and has performed with the
Aldeburgh Connection here before. Now based in
Stratford, he is one of today's leading Verdi
baritones and will play the leading role of Sir John
A. Macdonald in the Canadian Opera company's
new production of Louis Real. In his final encore,
his stunning rendition of "Some Enchanted
Evening" awed the audience.
The Board of Directors for the Bayfield Town Hall
Heritage Society offers thanks to Ralls, Ubukata
and Westman for donating their time, an
incredible gift to the Town Hall. Sponsors included
OLG and D&S Pianos, whose donations to the
concert were greatly appreciated. Plus, thank you
to "The Piano Movers", including DM Lawyers and
Greg Stewart, whose generosity helped defray the
cost of bringing the piano to Bayfield.

So I golfed in a tournament on the weekend. The last time I did so was about 25 years ago when Signal -Star Publishing had an
annual company tournament. I don't remember much about the actual game play. I recall watching a foursome from the
composing room at the hole adjacent my group pitching their golf balls to see who could throw them the furthest because using
their clubs just wasn't working for them.
remember that the owner of our newspaper chain, at that time the company was owned by the St. Catherine's Standard
group, barbecued my steak for me. And I also recall winning a brown beaded seat cover as my prize!

Flash forward two and a half decades to Saturday when I took part in the Bayfield Optimist Club's fundraising tournament at
Bayview Golf Club. This too was a best ball scenario and I tried to channel my five year-old grandson's philosophy of sport. When trying an activity he
often repeats, "I'm really good at this" - even as he is falling off his scooter.
And I have to say going with the flow was beneficial to my game. We actually used three of my drives to play off of when the group was only tasked to use
two. I'd like to thank my very patient teammates and also the Optimists for running a stellar tournament that ran on time to the "t"! The Bayview course is
quite beautiful and rather intimidating in a couple of places but I really enjoyed being out amongst the mature trees, singing birds, warm sunshine and I
delighted in the camaraderie of the other golfers.
Not sure if golf is my game but I'm pretty sure this experience confirmed that I won't be waiting another 25 years before I try it again. — Melody
