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.

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."

On Nov. 19, after the Santa Claus Parade, the Glee Sisters are again producing a show for the
whole family. This year they chose "A Charlie Brown Christmas" because it has been 50 years
since the original television special first aired and a book has been published in celebration.
Music for the production includes selections from the original show, as well as other familiar
Christmas music and even something from the Beatles thrown in for good measure. As usual,
the Glee Sisters will be in full costume and full of Glee.
There will be two shows. The times are 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. at the Bayfield Town Hall.
Admission is by contribution to The Bayfield Food Bank (Feed My Sheep), either cash or a
non-perishable food item will be accepted.
Every family will be able to take home their own Charlie Brown Tree, courtesy of the Bayfield
Optimists.
TIME TO DECK THE HALLS WITH AN
ASSIST FROM THE AG SOCIETY
There are definite signs that the Christmas season must not be too far away. Crews of people
from the Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) have been cutting boughs of cedar, spruce, pine,
and juniper. There have been gatherings of folks who have been bundling the greens so that
they can be wired on grape vine wreaths to make a finished evergreen wreath. Another crew
has prepared over 150 bows to put on the wreaths.
The finished product will be for sale this coming weekend in front of St. Andrew's United
Church on Hwy. 21. Wreaths, swags, and bundles of greens will be sold on Friday, Nov. 18
from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The price of wreaths and
swags will be $25. Orders will be taken for larger sizes and available the following week.
Contact Don Brodie at 519 263-2404 or John Siertsema at 519 565-2479 if the wreaths cannot
be picked up this weekend as they can still be purchased. The money from the sale of the
wreaths and swags helps with the costs of putting on the annual fair on the third weekend of
August.
The Annual Meeting for the Society will be on Tuesday, Nov. 22 in the basement of St.
Andrews United Church. A potluck supper will be at 6 p.m. followed by a speaker. The meeting
The event will be held at the Bayfield Town Hall at 7
p.m. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Refreshment
will be served. Entrance to the event is by donation.
CHRISTMAS TREE DAY
Dec. 3 will be Christmas Tree Day in Bayfield as folks
can visit Bayfield Foodland or Brandon's Hardware
and pick out the evergreen that shall grace their
living room this holiday season and at the same time
support the Bayfield Tree Project.
Starting at 1 p.m. on the Saturday, $5 from all trees
purchased will be given to the Bayfield Tree Project.
There are a limited number of trees available for this
event so people should plan to drop by early and
enjoy some holiday music and cheer while they
select their perfect tree.

NEW BUSINESS
MASSAGE THERAPY ON THE SQUARE OPENS IN HISTORIC
CONNOR HOUSE
PHOTO AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER "Massage Therapy is now considered part of
complementary and alternative medicine. It's
;�IMG_1459 increasingly being offered along with standard
treatment for a wide range of medical conditions
and situations," she said.

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. Dietz can also
be found on Facebook at "Massage Therapy on
The Square - Lorraine Dietz RMT"

Dietz specializes in therapeutic massage therapy such as reducing muscle pain and tension,
improving joint health and mobility, sports injuries, deep tissue, pregnant massage, TMJ
disorders and relaxation
"I have a passion for well being and want to inspire others to live to their full potential," said
Dietz. "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.

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.

So what terrific autumn weather we are having, eh? Yesterday my husband and I were able to plant spring bulbs, clean up a
big pile of leaves, string holiday lights and decorate the front porch for the festivities for Christmas in Bayfield weekend and we
did all this in our shirtsleeves.
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. Let's just enjoy it for as long as it lasts! — Melody
