(Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) DEVELOPMENT FOR BAYFIELD BY KEN LARONE A packed Bluewater council chambers cheered council's unanimous decision to reject a new subdivision request for Bayfield. Municipal Planner Denise Van Amersfoort told council there were several reasons for rejecting the 7.5 acre plan of four three-storey apartment buildings including a parking lot for 175 parking spaces. Owners of the land are Wieslaw and Jadwiga Kaminski. Currently one water and one sanitary sewer services a single home on the property and no sewer capacity is available for the rest of the property. Mayor Tyler Hessel said the village's sewage lagoon will be filled to capacity when 46 approved individual building lots get homes built on them. Today the traffic intersection at Cameron and Hwy. 21 is considered dangerous. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The market will feature crafts, quilts and a food booth serving lunch. The Bayfield Agricultural Society will also be selling their always popular fresh green wreaths and swags outside at the front of the church with proceeds going to the Bayfield Community Fair. CHILI LUNCHEON On Nov. 19, folks are invited to make their way to Knox Presbyterian Church after the parade for their annual Chili Luncheon. A variety of chili offerings will be available including traditional, vegetarian and turkey served alongside garlic toast. Tea, coffee and juice are the beverages of choice. There will also be a selection of squares for dessert. The cost for the luncheon is $8 for adults and $5 for children under 10 years of age. "MTO has concerns on the intensified use" the 175 cars from a subdivision could add to the SCARVES AND TUNICS traffic danger at the intersection. l L. t�1�IL l Eighty-nine objecting letters to the subdivision were sent to Bluewater Council. They objected 20161111_143324 to the concentrated density that's not compatible with the current village. An increase in sewage capacity is expected to exceed $5 million and council doesn't have an affordable plan for current residents to raise the funds. Traffic concerns also included the lack of safe walkways at the corner of Hwy. 21 and Cameron Street. Other residents thought the developer was showing poor respect for council when council was trying to come to grips with enhancing the village's current charm. Bayfield Councilor Bill Whetstone claimed the plan was wrong for the community at this time and completely rejected it. His resolution was supported by the total council. This was followed by a cheer from one of this year's largest number of ratepayers to attend a meeting. Pat Graham, a long-time Bayfield resident and former municipal clerk, urged council to remain sensitive to Bayfield's reputation as a small charming community where residents work hard to keep it pleasant for its residents and visitors. Dave MacLaren, representing the Bayfield Ratepayers' Association asked council to work with a community that puts quality ahead of quantity. Planner Van Amersfoort said a burial ground abutting the proposed subdivision goes back to 1876 and may be an archaeological site of significance which provincial policy protects. In conclusion, she told council the Kaminski property "would be best developed through a comprehensive Plan of Subdivision."

It's ;�IMG_1459 increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations," she said. Registered Massage Therapist Lorraine Dietz would like to welcome everyone for a tour of her newly renovated therapy rooms and reception area at 8 The Square during Christmas in Bayfield weekend, Saturday, Nov. 19 from 2-4 p.m. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) For the past few years the formidable building, on the corner of Clan Gregor Square and Hwy. 21, has been waiting for someone to come along and add the next chapter in its very historic story. William W. Connor, a prominent member of early Bayfield, built the Connor House, as it is fondly known today, in the 1860s as a store and dwelling. In the 1940s, George and Ada Little were the caretakers of the property prior to their purchase of the now famous Little Inn. They made some changes to it and opened a Bake Shop. During the 1960s, the house became the Baptist parsonage to the former church at 4 Main St. S. The most recent residents of the home ran a shoe store in the front and lived in an apartment on the second floor. Upon retirement they moved downstairs. This history brings us to 2016 when Lorriane Dietz took notice of the Connor House. A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), she had been working at the Bayfield Chiropractic Clinic across the street for about four years. "I have always wanted to have my own clinic and one day I noticed the Connor House was vacant and thought that would be a wonderful place to have my own clinic," she said. "it had character, history, charm, location and so much more. Once I viewed the interior of the house, I realized how much potential it had and how perfect it would be for my new clinic." She noted that she could immediately visualize what needed to be done to make it a Massage Therapy clinic. After several months of renovations this past summer, two new large treatment rooms and a new reception area were completed and she opened her doors to clients in September. Her business is known as, "Massage Therapy on the Square". Dietz is very pleased with how the renovations turned out noting, "there is a real sense of peace and serenity in the rooms." Her goal is to bring in other RMTs, as well as other healthcare professionals, as the need arrives in the community and for that reason created two treatment rooms. Currently, Massage Therapy on The Square offers registered massage therapy seven days a week. Cathy Armour, an RMT from Goderich, has joined the practice and specializes in therapeutic massage and Reiki. A career in Massage Therapy nicely compliments Dietz's love for outdoor adventure as she moves from the relative "Zen" of the therapy room to the adrenaline pumping thrills of competing in Triathlons and sailing. When she moved to Bayfield in 2002 she was instantly enamored with the area and its people but Lake Huron had a decided pull. "I took up sailing in 2011 and loved it so much that I took many of the Goderich Power Squadron sailing classes that were being offered and then went to Georgian Bay to take my CYA Skippers certification," she said. This resulted in opportunities to sail the Atlantic and the Mediterranean twice, plus numerous voyages across Lake Huron, the North Channel and the British Virgin Islands. She took up training for Triathlons in 2015. "Training for the three disciplines of swimming, biking and running makes it easier on your body than training for one sport and I enjoy the positive energy that surrounds you on event day. It becomes a little addictive. In the past two summers I have done ten Triathlons," she said. Dietz has a personal mantra, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did." This belief will no doubt be reflected in the next pages of the history of the Connor House and its newest resident. The RMT would like to welcome everyone for a tour of her newly renovated therapy rooms and reception area at 8 The Square during Christmas in Bayfield weekend, Saturday, Nov. 19 from 2-4 p.m. She can be reached at 519 565-4711 for appointments or more information.

"I love my profession and feel this is where I was meant to be. I don't feel it is a job but rather a privilege to be able to help people heal and be well." Dietz's path to becoming an RMT began growing up in a small town in Eastern Ontario outside of Ottawa. She notes that Bayfield is the biggest town she has ever lived in. "I grew up in a very active family and health was always a priority," she said. She attended McGill University for a Science degree, specializing in Food Science. She worked in Food Microbiology for 15 years. Ten years ago she became a fitness instructor. "It was during this time that I realized that the rewards of helping others become healthy was what I wanted and need to do," she recalled. So in 2011 she went back to school. She attended the D'Arcy Lane Institute of Massage Therapy a private school in London, ON to become an RMT. SHEARQV T •o � BAYFIEL.3 PIXILATED - IMAGE OF THE WEEK There are many different types of massage, including these common types: Swedish Massage — This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energize. Deep Massage — This massage technique uses slower, more -forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, commonly to help with muscle damage from injuries. Sports Massage — This is similar to Swedish massage, but it's geared toward people involved in sports activities to help prevent or treat injuries. Trigger Point Massage — This massage focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse.

Yes, it's Nov. 16 and I have yet to put on my winter coat or dust off my winter boots. No complaints here, I just hope I don't jinx everything by putting this in writing.
