July 13, 2016 Vol. 8 Week 29 Issue 367 SATURDAY WAS A BUSY DAY FOR TOWN HALL VOLUNTEERS BY PAT PAL July 9 was a busy day in Bayfield. While many people were around for Vettefest and the Fireman's Breakfast. The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS) board members and volunteers provided a complementary event, the third annual One of a Kind Show on the town hall grounds. While the weather was not perfect, all events were well attended and successful.

This year, the village Celtic Concert will take place on Aug. 1, the Civic Holiday Monday, and features "Cupola:Ward", from Derby in England. Cupola comprises Oli Matthews, Doug Eunson and Sarah Matthews add the fine talents of Lucy Ward (2012 Horizon Award Winner at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards) and "Cupola:Ward" was born. This composition has resulted in a vibrant collaboration of music and song. Cupola's fine instrumental arrangements and vocal harmonies provide the perfect backdrop for Ward's songs and strong delivery. All are encouraged to come out and enjoy this dynamic quartet. "Cupola:Ward went down a storm at Gower Folk Festival — their brilliant musicianship, beautiful close harmonies and total love of what they do made for a superb set and with the addition of the totally stunning Ms. Ward you can't get better!" said Artistic Director Gower Folk Festival, Joy Toole.

Appropriate to Vettefest, an automobile artist was in residence as well. The BTHHS thanks all of our returning and new artists for taking part in this special event. At the same time, more Town Hall board members and volunteers were across the street in Clan Gregor Square, cooking and serving food at Vettefest. As a change from the standard fare, their new menu included pulled pork and turkey sausages (along with more traditional hotdogs). Those who attended any of these special events had an advance look at the progress on the new Town Hall roof. Bayfield Breeze readers are encouraged to drive by and check it out! Understandably, fundraising for this project has been a huge undertaking for a volunteer Board of Directors. It is understandable as well that cash reserves have been sadly depleted. Donations are welcome to help us keep this vibrant resource alive in Bayfield. Please consider going to http://www.bayfieldtownhall.com/donations, and donating through the Canada Helps.org link. �dIMG_5687 The colorful art of "2 Pals who Paint" was on display in the grounds of the Bayfield Town Hall during the third annual One of a Kind Show.

GIANT HOGWEED Anyone who glances to the riverside as they cross over the Bayfield Bridge on Hwy 21 will no doubt have noticed that the insidious Giant Hogweed has returned for another season and this time the bed is even bigger. Bill Whetstone, Bayfield ward councilor for the Municipality of Bluewater, sent an email out on Tuesday morning to the effect that, "The hogweed cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week291ssue367/tabid/787/Default.aspx 2/14 6/13/2019 Cutting Boards by the Wilson Boys were one of the items available for purchasing at the One of a Kind Show held on Saturday on the grounds of the Bayfield Town Hall.

He added monitoring will need to be done and he expects another round of spraying will need to be done next year due to the seed bed. In addition to some of the furniture designed by Dave Loerchner, of DL Creastions of Bayfield, the delightful carving of Colin Brown was also on display at the show. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) While the One of Kind Show was being held, across the street in Clan Gregor Square, more Town Hall volunteers were cooking and serving food at Vettefest. On this shift we found Cal Scotchmer, Mike van Baardwyk and Shelagh Sully cooking up hotdogs, pulled pork and turkey sausages. (Photo by Jack Pal) Giant Hogweed can be a serious health hazard. If there is skin contact with this plant, the toxins in the sap, activated by direct sunlight, will cause severe burns. Contact with the plant can create painful blisters, reddening and swelling of the skin after a day, and inflammation after three days. If the sap comes in contact with the eyes, it may even cause temporary or permanent blindness. The severe dermatitis can affect some people for months. Some people exposed to the plant even stay sensitive for years. The mammoth size of the towering Giant Hogweed is the plant's most distinctive trait. The plant can grow to the size of a full-grown adult and can sometimes reach ten feet in height.

PHOTO STORY PIONEER PARK ASSOCIATION RUMMAGE SALE AN ELECTRIFYING EXPERIENCE The Bayfield Arena floor was alive with activity on the evening of July 8 when the Pioneer Park Association hosted their 69th Annual Rummage Sale and Silent Auction. Jenny Allan, Rummage Sale Convener, took a moment for a well deserved rest during the sale. Allan is expecting her second child any day now! PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER The 69th annual Pioneer Park Rummage Sale was electrifying! Literally. Organizers determined that a severe thunderstorm was about to move over the village and invited everyone lined up to enter the arena when the doors opened at 7 p.m. to come on in early. It was a very good executive decision as some moments later a lightning strike hit in the vicinity of the arena causing a temporary loss of power. It also set off the alarm and may have poached the arena scoreboard in the process. However, Rummage Sale shoppers are resilient and they continued to scoop up bargains despite the inclement weather. Sadly a good deal of the items on display for the outside portion of the sale probably sustained water damage. One table that is always popular every year is the Bake Table and as it is always set up indoors nothing got soggy. The convener of the Bake Table, Lynne Price, wishes to thank, very sincerely, all those who contributed their baked goods. She especially thanks the volunteers who assist with sales. As always, they came through with great support, she wrote. Anyone reading this who might wish to contribute next year can let Price know at 519 565-5876. No matter the results, Pioneer Park now has considerably more funds in the coffers for upkeep than it did on Thursday and that is what the goal always is. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek291ssue367/tabid/787/Default.aspx 8/14 6/13/2019 MG_5607 Week 29 Issue 367 Trevor Bieber, of London, discovered the most perfect treasure, a millennium snow globe featuring an "exploding" computer.

It rained. PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Something unusual happened at the 10th annual Bayfield Vettefest held on July 8th and 9th. It rained. "Hopefully next year Mother Nature will get back to her usual sunny warm mood but we can't complain because she's co-operated with us nine out of the 10 years!" wrote Brian Coombs, organizer, on the event's Facebook page. "I just want to thank you all for braving the cool damp weather and for coming out. Mother Nature sprinkled on us for a few minutes but again we appreciate you all for hanging in there and enjoying the day. It's the car owners that make this day a huge success." Vettefest saw 235 cars set up in the shade of Clan Gregor Square. There was another dozen or so outside the park and a couple of Corvettes were brought in on trailers. Participants came from Detroit, Toronto, Hanover and beyond. On Friday night, right when the Summer Cruise was set to disembark from Clan Gregor Square a severe summer storm made its way overhead. As a result Corvette owners were invited to the Little Inn of Bayfield for an impromptu reception instead of a drive. Coombs noted that Vettefest appreciates the ongoing generosity of the Bayfield and area merchants who donate door prizes and items for the participant goody bags every year. He is also indebted to the many volunteers who work in advance of the event and also during it to make sure everything runs smoothly. This year money raised from the event will help support the Bayfield Skating Club. cc.villageofbayfiield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week29issue367/tabid/787/Default.aspx 10/14 6/13/2019 Week 29 Issue 367 Participants came from Detroit, Toronto, Hanover and beyond to take part in the 10th annual show MG_5696 The latest in Corvette design was brought to Vettefest by Mike Holman of Stratford.

Every morning I woke up to his smiling face staring intently at me from my bedside. He never speaks, coughs or nudges me he just stares me awake. From that moment each day we were off on adventures. We gave him a wallet for his fifth birthday and everyone in the "know' gave him money for a present to help fill it up. He was a little disappointed that the cardboard card that came with the wallet was not a real credit card so as a compromise I took him to the Bayfield Library and he got his very own Huron County Library Card for his first card in his wallet. We also got a music CD, two videos, a collection of Robert Munsch stories, and three Dr. Seuss books to enjoy over the course of the week. We also went shopping on Main Street to spend a little bit of that birthday money on some fun activities to busy away the hours on those afternoons that were too hot to go out. In an effort to cool down we also sampled a couple different ice cream options He expressed an interest in trying golf so I was able to borrow a set of wee clubs from a friend for him to test his skill on. Some backyard instruction from grandpa and then a trip to the driving range in Grand Bend provided him with an opportunity to see a golf camp in action. The Golf Pro even took the time to visit with and encourage him and shake his hand. By then Graham was convinced he was ready to head out on the course but after some negotiating he agreed that maybe just visiting the course would be a reasonable first step. So we headed out to Bluewater and he got to see the expanse of hole one and nine. He watched some older boys practice their putting for a while and marveled at the size of the sand traps. "They don't look that big on TV, Gramel!" We also introduced him to the art of mini -golf by heading to Putts Mini -Golf at Gold Coast Landscaping. It was there I discovered I might need to buy a season's pass as after his first experience we went back every day thereafter. I am pleased to report that we both improved each day but still find holes #4 and #9 to be our nemesis. It was here that we also discovered that our right-handed grandson might be a left- handed golfer. In the last hours of our day we headed to Clan Gregor Square for some time in the park and a few circuits around the Splash Pad. And then it was ready for bed where we shared in the worlds created by authors Munsch and Seuss. And then just like the Christmas season the week went by too quickly, however, he did share that for his next visit he'd like to try two weeks. So there may be more opportunities to try all the other wonderful things that we can do in the village in the summer if we only had more time. — Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
