Executive Chef Glenn Sheridan, of The Red Pump, enjoyed a rare moment in the rear garden at the restaurant
earlier in the season.
According to the CAA website, Four Diamond "establishments are upscale in all areas.
Accommodations are progressively more refined and stylish. The physical attributes reflect an
obvious enhanced level of quality throughout. The fundamental hallmarks at this level include
an extensive array of amenities combined with a high degree of hospitality, service, and
attention to detail."
The Red Pump Restaurant of Bayfield was listed in the June 2017 publication of the CAA Tour
Book as having a four -diamond rating, one of six restaurants in Southwestern Ontario.
This was a goal that The Red Pump's Executive Chef, Glenn Sheridan, had set for himself and
one that he had known he had achieved for several months before it was made public at the
end of January.
Sheridan applied to CAA for the opportunity to be rated and had to fill out forms including a
restaurant description, menu and photos of food presentation. And then he waited.
"The CAA representative could come in anytime within the year after you apply. You have no
idea who or when," he said. "They must eat three meals to establish consistency, for example
two lunches and one dinner. It is a very secretive process."
Sheridan believes that in all things consistency is the key to obtaining the rating
"It doesn't matter if you are serving the Queen of England or a couple that have saved for three
months to be able to go out to dinner they deserve the same treatment," the chef explained.
"Attention to detail, clean bathrooms, the knife blade facing inward at the table setting, attentive
yet not overpowering service, these combine to make a great dining experience and these are
the little trade secrets that they are looking for."
The Red Pump opened for the 2017 season on Good Friday and right away they saw an
increase in business with people coming in to say they saw the articles regarding the
designation and social media was also a buzz.
The designation has also proved to be a highlight for Harry Israel, who celebrated 45 years as
the owner of The Red Pump this past May. Sheridan commented how proud he was able to tell
Israel that the business had achieved four -diamond status.
He credits Israel for giving him the space to get creative with the menus while also not being
afraid to give his opinion regarding those creations.
"He knows what he is talking about and it is important to set ego aside and make changes
when he suggests them," Sheridan said.
He added that he is also lucky to have John Musselman as the dining room manager providing
wonderful customer service front of house.
"It is all about great hospitality. It is our job to make sure you have a good experience and go
home happy," Sheridan said.

For Sheridan the path he took that led him to The Red Pump was one with varied experiences
An Alvinston, ON native he began his studies at George Brown College and is trained in the
classic French style. He worked at the Hilton International in Glasgow, Scotland for two years
and really enjoyed it, crediting Executive Chef James Murphy as a mentor. He also spent time
as a Sous -Chef at the Savoy Hotel in London, England, calling it a "phenomenal experience".
He returned to Canada in 2004, to work in Northern Ontario and then for a while in Edmonton,
Alberta at The Fantasyland Hotel. He returned to Southern Ontario in 2012 and has been in
Bayfield for the last three years.
"Destination dining is what I enjoy doing. It is a high pressure job and like a diamond you either
crumble or you excel," he said. "Being a chef is as close to being a rock star as I will get. The
customer doesn't care if you are having a bad day and you don't know who is out in the dining
room but you know you have to send them away happy with your culinary performance."
He sights his best moments are when he can give customers a happy experience.
"We have to impress the couple who had their first date here and then come back for their
anniversary some time later. We have to go that extra mile every time," he said.
He changes the menu about every four months and the restaurant is open Wednesday to
Sunday in the summer months serving lunch from noon to 3 p.m. and dinner 5-9 p.m. One of
the chef's favorite things to serve is his homemade Brioche Rolls sent to the table warm and
flakey.
Sheridan remarked that he has a chef friend who told him, "I don't love the kitchen I'm addicted
to it." And he understands what he meant.
"Cooking is a great way to express who you are. I would miss the sound of the hoods, the
people dressed in white, the buzz of the dining room, the clanking of dishes. I really enjoy the
family atmosphere that we have established here with our staff. Harry could have sold this
place 20 years ago but he loves it. I think he is addicted too," concluded Sheridan.

BUTTERFLY RELEASE
How many among us take notice of certain symbols
that remind us of someone special who no longer

an event in Pioneer Park on Aug. 27 that will allow
community members to honor the memory of loved
ones or beloved pets in a symbolic way at a Butterfly
Release.
The event will be held from 7-8 p.m. and will include

Name of Business: Stan's Antiques

Business location: Kitchener and Aberfoyle Antique Market
# of years attending Bayfield Antique and Collectibles Show and Sale: This is my first
year.
How long have you been a dealer? 40+ years
Do you offer antiques, collectibles or both? Both
Do you specialize in certain items or eras? I frequently handle antiques from the 18th, 19th
and early 20th centuries.
What first inspired your interest in antiques? In England, at around age 10, my mother
would take me along on a Saturday morning to a couple of homes where she was'in service.'
Here she would prepare the home for a dinner party and my job was to help her by cleaning all
the sterling candlesticks, flatware, etc.; items that would be used during the evening. In this
way I got to know and appreciate Georgian and Victorian antique silver and family heirlooms.
At the same time, my father would bring home antiques that he had found and we would talk
about them and examine the marks to determine the age and period. Both of these exposures
allowed me to learn about early English antiques.
What would you describe as your favorite find ... your most unusual find ... your oldest
find?
My favorite find: An Anglo-Indian carved rosewood buffet with matching side table from the
mid 19th -century with hand carvings of foliage, serpents and exotic birds. Magnificent!
My most unusual find: Unexpectedly I was able to purchase the following antiques found
under the floor of a barn that was being demolished: a Brown Bess musket, several bayonets
in their original leather scabbards from the war of 1812 era; as well as a WWI helmet in great
condition.
My oldest find: A grandfather clock in working condition by London maker made in 1720.
Anything you would like to add about your business? We strive to authenticate, research
and obtain any provenance related to the items we sell in order to pass said information on to
the customer.

day camp to the village.
The fun has already begun so call to register
campers from JK to Grade 6 by calling 519 565-2913
and leaving a message.
Camp takes place every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to
3:30 p.m. until Aug. 24th. The cost to attend is $5 per
child each week or $7 for two or more children. All

KM route during the village Terry Fox Run that was held in
Sept. 2015. Feltrin will be taking part in the Safe Harbour
Run on Aug. 20. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder)
week 30 issue 420
On Aug. 20, the Rev. Elise Feltrin will
arrive at her service at St. Andrew's United
Church dripping in sweat having
completed her 10 KM run. We don't know
the text of the sermon for that Sunday will
be but it might make reference to "... let us
run with patience the race that is set
before us..." (Hebrews 12:1-2).
This is the 8th Safe Harbour Run. First
held in 2009, as well as offering fun and
exercise to participants, it has raised
much-needed funds for the Huron
Women's Shelter. In 2016 the event was
struck by a shortage of volunteers. Into the
breach stepped Blue Bayfield who agreed
to manage the event for 2017, again in
support of the Shelter and to a lesser
extent, the work of Blue Bayfield.
Because Bayfield is home to a popular
pole walking and equally popular hiking
fraternity, these events have been added
to the traditional 10 KM, 5 KM and 2 KM
runs. The 10 KM and 5 KM runs are part of
the Runpikers Series sponsored by
Runners Choice in London. Participants
compete for points and cash prizes that
are then included with the results from
other races in the series. These races take
place throughout South Western Ontario.
It is the only regional race that also
provides for para athletes.
Because this event is registered and promoted nationally, it follows a certified course;
participants are electronically timed by a "chip" attached to their bib number.
Do not be threatened by this competitive event as the vast majority of runners and walkers do it
for fun, fitness and willingness to support the Shelter and Blue Bayfield.
Safe Harbour Run is limited to 250 entrants. All participants receive a gift package valued at
over $10. This is made possible through the generous support of 57 sponsors that have
provided the necessary funding to cover all race expenses.
Entry fees vary with the event chosen. There are reduced rates for young people. Rates
increase closer to race time.
If you are unable to participate, you may wish to pledge your support to someone who is
running. Pledge sheets can be downloaded from the events website. The website also includes
articles under "news" on training for a 5 KM, the history of pole walking and other articles
related to the event. Bikes, skateboards etc are not allowed for safety reasons.
Anyone wishing to volunteer should contact pmcdougall@tcc.on.ca.
For more information and to register please visitwww.safeharbourrun.ca
August and September are months for running in Bayfield. Other upcoming runs include:
• Pioneer Park Fun Run — Aug. 7 at 9:00 a.m. The 31st annual Pioneer Park Run begins in
Pioneer Park. Participants are welcome to run or walk, push strollers, ride bikes and bring pets!
$5 Entry fee $5. Prizes to be won. Visit www.pioneerparkbayfield.ca to learn more.
• Run4Kids — Sept. 3 at 9 a.m. The 6th annual run -walk. Presented by Virtual High School and
the Optimist Club of Bayfield. All proceeds will be donated to Make -A -Wish Southwestern
Ontario (SWO) to grant the wish of a child with a life-threatening medical condition. For more
information visit http://www.vhsrun4kids.com
So there you have it "Kintail on the Road" is camper
approved!

Marty Allen as Johnny Cash (Submitted photo)
The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS) is
pleased to announce another tribute performance, on
July 29. This one features Southern Ontario artist,
Marty Allen, celebrating the music of the great
Johnny Cash. Many of us grew up with Johnny's
music, but younger people may know it best from the
2005 movie hit, "Walk the Line".
Allen was named after the late Marty Robbins and
weaned on Sun Record artists Elvis Presley and
Cash.
He believes that "Honky-tonk and Rockabilly music is
as much about life as it is about music".
"It was a simple sound, yet energetic and
commanding," said Allen, who received his first guitar
at the age of eight. Although not musicians
themselves, his parents possessed a real love for
music. "There was always music playing in the house
and Sunday mornings we would hear the gospel
music crackling from the hi-fi."
Allen went on to form his own band, the Cadillac
Cowboys, with Dave Tufford, electric guitar; Cory
Richardson, upright bass; and Mike McDowell,
drums. He has released five independent albums:
"Daybreak's Coming", "Marty Allen", "Living Life",
"Blue Church Road", and the "Sun Sessions", which
he recorded at the legendary Sun Records Studio in
Memphis Tennessee, where B.B. King, Presley,
Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis all got their
start.
To learn more and to check out his music, go to
www.martyallenband.com or YouTube.
Organizers note the people should get their tickets
soon, as they are expected to sell out. Tickets are
$20 ($25 at the door, if any are left). Doors open at 7
p.m. and the concert starts at 7:30 p.m.
For tickets, call Pat Pal, 519 565-5340 or Sandy
Scotchmer, 519 565-2830, or go to
www.ticketscene.ca. The BTHHS thanks OLG for
their sponsorship of this event.

MATTHEW BRYNE FEATURED ARTIST
FOR CELTIC CONCERT
Matthew Byrne (Submitted photo)
Due to a special arrangement with the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival, we are able to see one
of their award winning acts here in Bayfield each year, hosted by the Bayfield Town Hall
Heritage Society. This year, this Celtic Concert will take place on Aug. 7, the Civic Holiday
Monday, and will feature Matthew Byrne.
The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Bayfield Town Hall.
Born into a family of Newfoundland music makers, Byrne's repertoire is heavily influenced by
that unique musical lineage — the weaving of a great story with a beautiful melody — and he
supports this tradition with powerful vocals, polished guitar work and a presence that fills the
room. His repertoire transcends time and place and his live performance reminds listeners how
satisfying traditional songs can be when stripped down to their basic elements.
"His reverence and respect for his material, along with his unabashed exploration of new songs
and his staggeringly beautiful voice, makes for the rarest and most vital type of folk performer,"
said Tom Power of CBC Music.
Byrne will release his highly anticipated third album, "Horizon Lines" on Aug. 11. This newest
collection of traditional material explores a unique repertoire of songs from both sides of the
Atlantic and continues Byrne's journey through his own unique musical lineage. Check out his
music atwww. matthewbyrne. net, or on YouTube.
Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. For tickets call Sue at 519 565-2551 or Sandy

The minutes of the meeting go on to state, "the
property is not designated under the Heritage
Act, so therefore the site plan application was
not circulated to the BHAC.*
It is set out in the minutes that Harris noted the
purpose of bringing the application forward
"was to comment on the development and
identify the BHAC's interest in development in
the Settlement Area that is not exclusive of the
Bayfield Heritage Conservation District
(BHCD)."
She also noted that although the "BHAC has no
authority to impose the Ontario Heritage Act on
this application" they do have the "moral
suasion to bring concerns to Council" siting that
"heritage is an important part of tourism,
property values and economy."
The minutes would indicate that the proposed
sign for the business is of concern to the BHAC.

According to the minutes, "Mayor Hessel noted
sac .
the proposed illuminated sign was proposed at
the front of the development in a green space
with the buildings at the back of the property.
He showed a drawing of the sign. He expressed
concern with a "neon" sign on the highway."
It is noted in the minutes that BHCD Member Jane Rowat expressed support for a sign similar
in appearance to Michael's Pharmasave. She also suggested that trees be added along the
frontage. BHCD Member Lynn Girard noted the adjacent grocery store has an illuminated sign
and BHCD Member Bill Dowson commented upon the difficulty of requesting a non -illuminated
sign when the adjacent sign is illuminated. BHCD Member Alma Westlake was recorded in the
minutes as stating that "the sign should be in the character of the heritage of the village".
Rowat also addressed "concern that local buinesses would be adversely affected and there is
not enough demand from the village's small population to support the proposed businesses."
The minutes state that, "Mayor Hessel responded that policies guiding development of the
village are provided in the Official Plan, noting the Heritage Committee has reviewed the draft
Official Plan."
After this discussion, a motion was put forward by Jane Rowat and seconded by Lynn Girard:
"That the Bluewater Heritage Advisory Committee is grateful to the developer of 89 Main Street
South, Ward of Bayfield, for considering heritage features in the proposal, however, the
Committee is concerned with the large, free-standing sign and requests that the developer
consider options for toning it down to muted colors, using the Michael's Pharmasave
(pharmacy) sign as an example; and further that the green space be treed to block the sight
line across the frontage adjacent to Main Street South;
And further that the Bluewater Heritage Advisory Committee requests that Council allow the
committee to see such applications earlier in future."
The motion carried.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE PWC
MS BIIE FUNDRAISER
BY AMY FRASER
Volunteers are a critical part of the PwC MS Bike - Grand Bend to London that will be held on July 29.
Volunteers are needed in a variety of roles for the upcoming fundraiser. (Submitted photos)
Some say volunteering is one of the most satisfying things a person can do. When it comes to
charity events, like the upcoming PwC MS Bike - Grand Bend to London, volunteers turn vision
into reality.
"Volunteers are critical to the event," said Sarah Mann, the Senior manager of Community
Engagement and Development with the Southwest Ontario region of the MS Society of
Canada. "The ride absolutely could not happen without the support of hundreds of people who
give their time, skills and passion."
Volunteers at the PwC MS Bike contribute by doing everything from food prep, coordinating
riders' luggage, photography and leading stretches and yoga for the riders.
Some volunteers have personal connections with the ride that brings a certain dedication and
passion to what they do for the event.
Anne Thibert, co -captain of C.T. Soil's Mighty Celtic Warriors, has chosen to volunteer with the
committee for the MS Society in addition to cycling in the ride over the last few years. Having

more than 15 years of experience with the PwC MS Bike, Thibert is able to provide an in depth
understanding of what can help the participants throughout the ride.
"I rode for 12 years and I always wished I knew when the checkpoints were coming up," said
Thibert. "We decided to start making signs that say five kilometres to the exit and putting them
out, and it's something that we've donated to the MS Society and the tour."
Leading up to the event the MS Society has meetings with members of the volunteer
committee, like Thibert, who assist in the planning and execution of the event to make it
successful for riders and volunteers alike.
Riders who come back year after year notice the impact the volunteers have on the PwC MS
Bike and everything they do to help them cross the finish lines and keep them comfortable
throughout the weekend.
Riders who come back year after year notice the impact the volunteers have on the PwC MS Bike and
everything they do to help them cross the finish lines and keep them comfortable throughout the weekend.
"My feeling on the volunteers is that the ride absolutely could not happen without them," said
Paul Fraser, a rider in his fifth year with the PwC MS Bike. "My focus is making it to London
and back again safely, and the volunteers take care of everything else for me."
"It's very motivational hearing the cheering team at every rest stop, it keeps me riding, and the
motorcycle team does a great job at keeping the riders safe and on course," said Fraser. "My
luggage disappears at ride time and then magically shows up at the end without a hitch."
Hundreds of volunteers are needed every year to help the riders make this inspirational event
what it is.
"We still need volunteers in many roles and are asking people to connect with us if they are
interested in being a part of this awesome event," said Mann.

COVER CROP INCENTIVE PROGRAM
GAINING TRACTION
Saturday, July 15 has been rescheduled for Sept. 23.
They apologize for any inconvenience and note that
tickets purchased for this weekend's performance will
be honored or may be refunded.
In his show, Taw Connors takes to the stage in a
tribute to his late father "Stompin' Tom" Connors.
"Stompin' Tom" was a Canadian country and folk
singer -songwriter who is credited with writing more
than 300 songs in his lifetime. His music focused
exclusively on the Canadian experience and hits
such as 'Bud the Spud', 'Sudbury Saturday Night' and
'The Hockey Song' made "Stompin' Tom" a national
icon.
Taw has been quoted as saying, "I'll never fill that
man's shoes" but his voice sounds uncannily like his
fathers and thanks to Taw's "The Canadian
Stompper" tribute concert series, the music of
"Stompin' Tom" is alive again at venues across the
province.
The show will start at 7p.m. at the Hensall Heritage
Hall located at 108 King Street.
Tickets are $35. For tickets please call Kathy at 519
263-2343. They are also available at D&D Variety in
Hensall, or Ticketscene. Those who plan to attend
are asked to get their tickets early so they don't miss

everything that makes this country unique.

Cover crops in Huron County, like this colorful multi -species cover crop, are being planted with support of a
county program which offers grants in 16 categories of water quality projects, including cover crop incentives
and erosion control. Cover crops like those shown in the photo reduce erosion, lessen impacts on water, and
protect and improve soil health. (Submitted photo)
Cover crops are turning heads in Huron County, whether it's a crop no one has seen before, or
it's a colouful field with sunflowers or crimson clover. The County of Huron is helping
agricultural producers to adopt these new practices to conserve soil through an incentive
program.
Producers jumped on board in a big way in 2015 when the Huron County Clean Water Project
(HCCWP) introduced a cover crop incentive category. Farmers in Huron County then outdid
themselves in 2016 by planting even more cover crops with support of the county program.
The county -funded program provided support for 71 completed cover crop planting projects for
a total of 4,637 acres in the first year of the cover crop category. That was a pretty successful
first year, according to staff, and the next year was even better. Huron farmers completed 81
cover crop planting projects in 2016. These projects covered more than 6,000 acres with grant
support from the county program. There has been more than $100,000 provided for cover crop
incentives over the incentive category's first two years in Huron County. The total project value
is more than that.
The cover crop incentive category is now in its third year. A phone call or email to the Ausable
Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) is all it takes to get an application started, according to
staff delivering the program. Most application forms can be completed over the phone. Grants
are $10 per acre to a maximum of $1,000 per farm operation per year. The cover crop mix
needs a minimum of three species and the field must have a minimum 50 per cent residue
before next year's crop is planted.
What's above the ground is eye-catching but the roots below the ground are also doing their
job.
"Cover crops help to improve soil structure, increase organic matter, prevent erosion, maintain
topsoil, protect water quality, and help to make food production more sustainable over the long
term," said Kate Monk, manager of Stewardship, Land and Education at ABCA. While most
producers plant cover crops after wheat harvest, an increasing number plant after soybeans or
into standing corn. Wherever it fits into the rotation, the practice is catching on quickly in Huron
County.
"Cover crops help protect soil from erosion from heavy rains and they work well with
windbreaks year-round," said Doug Hocking, Water Quality specialist at Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority (MVCA).
The HCCWP is also focusing on erosion control projects this year.
"Projects to control erosion provide many benefits such as preserving topsoil, keeping nutrients
on the land and out of creeks, and they provide economic benefits as well," said Monk.

The 2017 International Plowing Match and Rural
Expo, Sept. 19-23 in Walton, ON, will be a jammed
packed week with many entertainment and musical
acts set to perform on many stages throughout the
week.
"Mudmen", a Canadian Celtic rock band, will perform
on Thursday, Sept. 21 in the Lounge Tent at 4 p.m.
First discovered in 1993 as "The Campbell Brothers",
the band signed a deal with EMI Records and
changed their name to "Mudmen" in 1998. The six -
piece band includes, bagpipes, drums, bass guitar,
with interludes of banjo, mandolin and a lap steel.
The band's name comes from the Campbell Brothers
"founding members" occupation prior to forming the
band. They were mixing mortar and carrying bricks
as bricklayers.
Their music has been featured on Xbox and
PlayStation games, NBC's television show, "Black
Donnellys" and six Don Cherry hockey videos, and
HBOs "Shameless" TV show. The "Mudmen" have
appeared twice on Parliament Hill for Canada Day's
televised performance offering the opportunity to
shake hands with the Queen of England. They have
also performed at the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary
Flames home opening game ceremonies on CBC.
Closer to home, the "Mudmen" are a focal feature
every year at the Kincardine Scottish Festival.
Check out their sound on their YouTube Channel

COASTAL SURVEY
The Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation is
looking for the public's help to gather more
information on the passions, concerns, and hopes of
Lake Huron's residents and day users in their

People in Huron County are applying for $5,000 grants to help with the costs of erosion control
projects such as berms and inlets. Nearly 200 erosion control projects have received grants
since 2004. The berms reduce erosion in low draws by holding water behind an earthen berm
for a short period of time and releasing it slowly through a tile.
The HCCWP provides grants for 16 categories of water quality projects.
Landowners and community groups in Huron County have completed almost 2,400 projects
over the past decade with the county support. The total value of those projects is more than
$9.4 million. That's good for water quality and good for the economy, according to staff
delivering the program.
The county program has had more than ten years of success but staff said they aren't relaxing.
They want to build on the foundation of success by encouraging more projects by more people.
The HCCWP 2017 campaign to raise public awareness and encourage new projects includes
promotional postcards, print and broadcast media, and a social media campaign. Stewardship
staff from Maitland Valley and Ausable Bayfield conservation authorities will also be promoting
grants from the county program at the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo in Walton
from Sept. 19-23.
"The people of Huron County should be very proud of all they have accomplished in more than
ten years of projects supported by the Huron County Clean Water Project," said Hocking. "We
are increasing promotion starting this summer because we want to keep the momentum going
to benefit water quality for everyone."
To learn about grant rates and eligible projects you are invited to phone MVCA at 519 335-
3557 or ABCA at 519 235-2610 or toll-free 1-888-286-2610. You may also find out more online
at huroncounty.ca or mvca.on.ca or abca.on.ca.
Huron County residents have, with support of HCCWP Project: fenced cattle out of 20 KMs of
streams; planted 700 acres of trees; established 150 KMS of windbreaks; upgraded 366
private wells; decommissioned 506 unused wells; decommissioned 91 liquid manure storages;
completed 59 Forest Management Plans; completed 643 tree planting projects; completed 192
erosion control projects; and planted more than 10,000 acres of cover crops in the first two
years of the cover crop incentive category.
The HCCWP provides grant support for water quality projects in a number of categories
including: Cover Crop Incentives; Erosion Control Measures; Special Projects; Living Snow
Fences; Clean Water Diversion; Fragile Land Retirement; Livestock Fencing; Manure Storage
Decommissioning; Community Projects; Forest Management Plans and Woodlot
Enhancement; Composting Toilets; Wellhead Protection; Well Decommissioning; Stewardship

providing valuable input into the Coastal Action Plan
for the Southeastern Shoreline of Lake Huron,
including your concerns and expectations.
The southeastern coast of Lake Huron is home to
thousands of permanent and seasonal residents.
Millions of visitors each year interact with the lake
through fishing, swimming, boating and other
recreational activities. Large communities include
Sarnia, Grand Bend, Bayfield, Goderich, Point Clark,
Kincardine, Port Elgin, Southampton, Sauble Beach
and Tobermory. These communities recognize Lake
Huron as being key to their economic development.
While most beaches are safe for recreational use,
many are not free from water quality advisories and
multiple types of nuisance algae. Sand beaches,
dunes, bluffs, river mouths, nearshore waters,
wetlands, and woodlands are all coastal ecosystems
that provide valuable ecosystem services, and
support many rare species.
To maintain healthy wildlife populations, adapt to
climate change and maintain water quality,
environmental restoration, protection and
enhancement efforts are required. There are
significant regional threats to Lake Huron's
biodiversity and water quality, including: non -point
source pollution; shoreline development and
alteration; invasive species, and climate change.
A Coastal Action Plan for the Southeastern Shoreline
of Lake Huron will create a unified vision for Lake
Huron coastal conservation and stewardship efforts.
This plan will enable a coordinated approach to
address common issues and goals of our
communities along the Lake Huron shoreline. The
plan will develop a list of environmental management
strategies by identifying valuable natural features and
species, and the threats and stressors that negatively
impact them. You can find more information about

PIONEER PARK ASSOCIATION
RUMMAGE SALE "GREEN FRIDAY" ON VILLAGE CALENDAR
Toys and games were on display at the outdoor portion of the sale and proved popular with the youngsters in
attendance.
The biggest crowd in recent history - possibly ever - waited for the doors to open on the 70th annual sale. The
line stretched all the way to the ball diamond!

It literally takes a village to put on the Pioneer
Park Rummage Sale.
Starting at 9 a.m. on Friday morning, not to
mention the morning before and the weeks
leading up to the event, the volunteers were
there. And those people that weren't busy
unpacking boxes, inspecting donations, moving
items to the appropriate booths and creating
organized presentations, were busy dropping off
the good used items they no longer needed off at
the arena door.
Fast -forward a few hours...
It is the calm before the storm, thankfully their
wasn't a literal storm this year, as eager shoppers
assembled in the line outside the large arena
door in the fairgrounds. It's Bayfield's version of
Black Friday but its perhaps best coined Green
Friday as so much is reused and repurposed for
the beloved green space known as Pioneer Park.
The sales have already begun outside and the
volunteers are hopping. Helping customers with
their newly purchased patio furniture, board
games, tools and luggage. The volunteers on the
inside are at the ready for the onslaught that is
soon to flow in the door — and for the 70th annual
sale, the buzz is big, the crowd is huge. The line
extends all the way down to the baseball
diamond!
Volunteers can spot the veteran "rummagers" in
the crowd. They know the drill. Bring coins, small
bills and your own shopping bags. "Newbies" will
soon learn the ropes - $20 bills are of course
welcomed but patience is required while waiting
for change.
Imagine what Bayfield would be if it weren't for
people like Lucy Woods Diehl and company. They
had the forethought to make Pioneer Park a
privately owned public green space which the
community still embraces and supports through
this fundraiser every year. They could also be
considered the cultivators of volunteerism in this
village, a volunteer spirit that continues to grow
70 years on.

farms are family owned.
Information signs were placed around the farm to explain
best practises to visitors. One sign noted that "calves are
born without an active immune system so its critical they
receive the best care. Farmers keep their calves healthy
by housing calves individually for the first part of their
lives. This helps reduce the spread of germs and provides
the best possible care for each calf."
