July 26, 2017 Vol. 9 Week 31 Issue 421 RESIDENTS VOICE CONCERNS OVER PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Sixty people gathered for a special Councilor's Corner meeting on the afternoon of July 16 at the Bayfield Community Centre. Bayfield Ward Councilor Bill Whetstone opened the meeting by stating that it was a Ward meeting to gather input from residents on the proposed development at 89 Main Street South. It was an opportunity for them to have their voices heard on both sides of this sensitive issue. He shared the presentation that Deanne Mighton, a Bayfield summer resident and Senior Urban Designer for the City of Toronto, had made as a delegation to Bluewater Council on July 4. "It sums up very well the challenges that we are facing," he said. (Whetstone had her permission to share the presentation, as she was unable to attend.) Whetstone went on to say that it's not that the development proposed for the site is a Tim Hortons in so much as what is proposed does not follow Bluewater's Official Plan or the brand image for Bayfield. "And if we don't follow the Official Plan we are ignoring what the residents want as it was the residents that created the plan," he said. Several full-time and summer residents voiced their thoughts on the project, listing concerns over traffic safety, litter, light and noise pollution, strains on sewage capacity and setting PETITION An online petition has been created regarding the proposed development at 89 Main Street South in the village. The petition entitled, "Preserve Bayfield, Ontario's heritage culture - say "NO" to corporate encroachment" that will be sent to the CAO of the Municipality of Bluewater Kyle Pratt. It was launched midday on July 11 and as of publishing time had generated 496 signatures.

Still others asked what they could do as residents regarding the development? Whetstone suggested that they write letters and send copies to all members of the council. He noted that it would be best to leave personal opinion out of the letter and base it in fact with all the issues that had been discussed at this Ward meeting such as, sewage capacity, traffic and pedestrian safety, traffic flow, lack of sidewalks, litter, light and noise pollution plus perhaps most importantly the fact that the proposed development at 89 Main Street South does not fit within Bluewater's Official Plan.

RUNINUGE SALE It takes the village of Bayfield to realize the value of natural landscape and the joy of community. It takes the members of the Pioneer Park Association to carry on the vision and mission of protecting a natural, open greenspace for all. And once a year it all comes together at the Pioneer Park Rummage Sale. "On July 14 we did it again! It was one of our most successful years ever," said Catherine Tillmann, 2017 convenor of the sale. "As always, the proceeds will go to keeping the park clean, green and open to the public. "Of course the sale is more than just one night. It begins many months before with the organizers. It builds with the donation and sorting of items at the Quonset Hut. It reaches 'preparation peak' with the arena set-up, goods pricing and display. Then it is ignited by the enthusiasm of the shoppers." For seventy years, this event has been an unofficial 'kick off to summer. "Neighbors meet up, old friends reconnect and new friends are made. It is an event that both makes and is made by all those that love the simple, natural state of our village," said Tillmann. She extended thanks to all the volunteers, to all item donors, and to all who came to be a part of "this wonderful tradition" and looks forward to seeing these same folks at the park. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY For many people, the Bayfield Community Fair signals that summer is nearing its end, and believe it or not it is now just four weeks away — Aug. 18-20.

"Maybe you have been in the kitchen perfecting your carrot cake or loaf of white bread. Maybe you need to give the kids something to do for the day have them do some Canada themed crafts. All of these thigns can be entered in the fair." cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week3l Issue421/tabid/842/Default.aspx 3/18 6/13/2019 Week 31 Issue 421 The Show will be open on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission on these two days is $5.

The Dreamboats specialize in cover music from 1955-65 but also write and perform their own music created in the style of these early decades of Rock N' Roll. PHOTOS BY JACK PAL AND STORY BY MELODY FALCON ER -POUNDER Those who attended The Dreamboats concert at the Bayfield Town Hall on Friday night were taken back to July 23, 1959 and as the musical energy built in the hall so did the temperature. Four young talents, whose ages averages out to be about 28, comprise The Dreamboats from Mississauga, ON. In keeping with the era in which they have musically immersed themselves the majority go by stage names: Sir Ritchie Hummins, lead vocals, guitar; Fliggers B. Lewis, lead vocals, bass guitar; Matt Best, lead guitar, vocals; and Johnny G. Wiz, drums and vocals. The Dreamboats specialize in cover music from 1955-65 but also write and perform their own music created in the style of these early decades of Rock N' Roll. On this warm and humid night in Bayfield, The Dreamboats took the stage in costumes suiting the era they portray — black jeans, white dress shirts with black bowties and blue suit jackets. By the time they rolled into their third or fourth song their perfectly coiffed hair was dripping in sweat. When Riggers produced a beach towel to wipe the perspiration off his face the drummer lamented that he hadn't thought to bring a towel. A couple songs later a volunteer with the Bayfield Town Hall appeared with t -towels for all the members and thus set the tone for a relaxed and friendly concert with plenty of banter between the musicians and the audience. At one point audience members suggested that they take off their jackets to be more comfortable to the shock and mock horror of the band. In fact during the second half of the show they took the crowd's advice and emerged for their "Chippendale" set, jackets removed and long sleeves rolled up and bowties removed or loosened. These high energy musicians delighted the crowd with great toe tappin', hand clappin', sing -a -long tunes touching on many of the eras favorites including Roy Orbinson, The Beach Boys, Carol Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Elvis and of course The Beatles. After every cover of the Fab Four they bowed toward Liverpool. They also shared that one of the highlights of their careers cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week3l Issue421/tabid/842/Default.aspx 12/18 6/13/2019 Week 31 Issue 421 Kelsey Johnston (left), a Michael's Pharmacy employee, organized the sold -out concert as a fundraiser for the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society.

The Dreamboats, who formed in 2009, went on a 14 -show European Tour in May and explained to the audience that they developed a love for the music from watching movies like "Back to the Future" that featured songs from this time. The audience appeared to certainly be glad that they had giving them a standing ovation at the end of the night to which Sir Ritchie Hummins faked enthusiastically tossing his sweaty t -towel into the crowd. "Trust me, you really don't want this," he smiled. The Dreamboats concert was held in recognition of the 10th anniversary of Pharmasave Michael's Pharmacy being open in Bayfield. Kelsey Johnston, a Michael's Pharmacy employee, organized the sold -out concert as a fundraiser for the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS).

Last year was the summer of spaghetti westerns when I experienced the trilogy of Clint Eastwood films for the first time. This year the Elvis era seems to be a recurring entertainment. We went to see "All Shook Up" and "Million Dollar Quartet" at the Huron Country Playhouse both rousing spectacles of a bygone but not forgotten time. It was especially cute at the end of the "Million Dollar Quartet" when the announcer told everyone "Elvis had left the building". On the way out the lady seated to my right shared with me that she had - had the good fortune to see "The King" perform live. Melody Falconer -Pounder We were also lucky enough to score tickets to "The Dreamboats" concert on Friday night at the Bayfield Town Hall. They were brought to the community by Michael's Pharmacy to celebrate their 10th year in Bayfield. And it was quite a celebration. The four, young lads from Mississauga put on "a really big show!" Again Elvis tunes were a part of it as were others of his musical generation. It was after watching these three performances that it dawned on me that next month will mark the 40th anniversary of the day Elvis died. I was 10 years old then and I remember that my parents were both moved by his passing. It made me wonder what all the fuss was about and I asked for an Elvis record for Christmas. I was presented with "Elvis' Golden Hits" in answer to my request and there ended my curiosity until many years later when I got to visit Graceland and all things Elvis in Memphis, TN. That sparked an interest in his movies and we spent yet another theme summer watching those! While I loved every aspect of both plays at Grand Bend I think the most stirring moment for me came near the end of "Million Dollar Quartet" when Sam Phillips, founder of Sun Records, grew reflective and said, "I just wish these four young musicians, with all their talent and success, could have found some happiness in their lives." As the actors position themselves around the piano for a photograph the original black and white image of Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash drops down from the ceiling and their was collective sigh from the audience. Sam Phillips was obviously not the only one... It left me feeling as I did back in 1977 a little sad and a lot curious... perhaps I will add some Elvis themed reading to my summer of "The King". - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
