(Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) Alongside the pizza place and the fish and chips take-out now sits an "old world deli style sandwich shop" known as "Highway Robbery". It is the latest addition to "grab and go row!" This is the nickname, Pete Meades, co-owner of Highway Robbery, has given to the stretch of businesses across from Clan Gregor Square on Hwy. 21. Highway Robbery Deli and Sandwich Shop is the vision of Meades, Chef Robert Whyte and Leanne Kavanagh. "A village deli can become a traditional social hub, part of the fabric of the town," said Whyte and this is a goal of the trio. They also hope to fill a gap left by the closing of the Black Dog Pantry and Clay Gourmet by offering locally made gourmet food staples in addition to their signature, fresh made sandwiches. In the off-season they also hope to offer some special events mixing music (Meades and Kavanagh also run LP Productions) with chef tables as well as catering. Whyte is no stranger to the Bayfield food scene. The chef graduated from the Culinary Arts program at Liaison College in 2002. He apprenticed at the Toronto Granite Club and worked at Wolfgang Puck's first Canadian restaurant also in Toronto. He has taught with the Humber College's culinary arts program and has a second home in Bayfield with plans to become a full- time resident in the near future. "Everything is made from scratch," explained Kavanagh. "When the ingredients are gone that offering is done for the day. We of course keep the items needed for our most popular sandwiches well stocked." Examples of their sandwich offerings include a Korean Chicken BBQ and Deli Trio, three stackable meats served on Rye bread reminiscent of the Carnegie Deli. Whyte's own slaw is made fresh daily as demand permits. The deli counter is also stocked with cheeses and meats and other delectables so that people can make their own sandwiches. Lesters meats, Blyth Farm Cheese and Stonetown Cheese are just a few of the brands that can be found behind the glass. Anyone wishing a charcuterie board is invited to call ahead to have one custom made. Highway Robbery, 2 The Square, has been designed to resemble an early village style deli. Stepping through the doors people are transported back to a simpler time and right now this opportunity is available every day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for lunch. Deli pick-up is offered until 5 p.m. The deli can be reached by calling 519 565-4327.

Quinn Ross (Submitted photo) The Ontario Bar Association (OBA) is pleased to announce Quinn Ross as the 83rd President of the OBA. Ross, Managing Partner of The Ross Firm, with offices in Goderich, Kincardine and Stratford, has been an active member in senior roles on the OBA board since 2012. In 2015, Ross was elected Second Vice President and has been involved in numerous committees that include chairing the Working Group on Alternative Business Structures, the Technology and Practice Innovation Committee, the Governance Committee and Strategic Planning. "The OBA has become like a second family to me since joining almost a decade ago, and now, as President, with a holistic view of the association, I know the changes that need to be made and how to make them happen, starting with a transformative fall council meeting," said Ross. In his upcoming term, Quinn looks forward to continuing the OBA's leadership in addressing challenges and opportunities in the legal system that face all stakeholders, from the professional members of the association to the most vulnerable in society. "I grew up in a family that emphasized inclusion, within the walls of our house and as members of the community," said Ross. "With greater diversity than ever at the OBA, it's an obvious position for me to ensure that when making decisions as an association, all voices are heard, all talent is leveraged and both are representative of the bar and the public we serve." Through his involvement with professional development programs and committees, Ross has also enabled practitioners to leverage technology and innovation in order to better serve their clients and will continue to champion these efforts during his term. "Ensuring lawyers have the tools to meet the needs of the public and to practise law in a way that is modern and responsive is critical," said Ross. "These are practical things that can save time and costs that can then be passed along to the public." Under the OBA's governance structure, the second vice-president is elected and then successively becomes first vice president and then president. The OBA also alternates between presidents from Toronto and other regions of Ontario in order to ensure all regions of the province have a strong voice. Ross officially took office on Aug. 15.

SOURCE PROTECTION CONBUTTEE IN NEED OF MEMBERS A local source protection authority has issued a notice calling for applications to fill three vacant seats on a committee that is protecting municipal sources of drinking water. The Ausable Bayfield Maitland Valley Drinking Water Source Protection Committee (ABMVDWSPC) is a 15 -member committee in addition to the Chair. The committee reduces risk to drinking water in the Maitland Valley and Ausable Bayfield source protection areas. The ABMVDWSPC does this by putting into action locally developed and provincially approved source protection plans. The Ausable Bayfield Source Protection Authority (ABSPA), on behalf of the source protection region, is seeking applications from individuals to fill two vacant committee seats from the Economic -Agriculture sector and one vacancy for a committee member from the Other -Environmental public interest sector. The ABSPA issued the call for applications on Aug. 15. Applications (cover letter and resume) with position title clearly marked, are to be submitted by Monday, Sept. 25 by 4 p.m. local time to be considered. For a summary of member obligations, job description, and full posting visit: www.sourcewaterinfo.on.ca. After the closing of the application period, the source protection authority will then interview a short list of candidates. ABMVDWSPC Chair Matt Pearson said a committee member's work is interesting and important. "We have benefitted from the expertise, knowledge and commitment of our past and current members," he said. "We have three committee seats that are vacant at this time. We are looking for strong candidates to take on these vital roles as committee members." It's important to find the right people who can bring their knowledge and questions to the table, according to Pearson. "This helps to improve the work we do to implement, monitor and update policies that are reducing risk to our local drinking water," he said. "It helps to keep our drinking water safe and clean, starting at the source." The ABMVSPC was Ontario's first. The committee has worked since 2007 to create local terms of reference, assessment reports, and source protection plans. The Ontario Clean Water Act, 2006 has made this work possible. The Province of Ontario approved the locally developed plans on Jan. 19, 2015 and the plans took effect on Apr. 1, 2015. The source protection plans include policies to address 21 activities that can pose a threat to municipal drinking water sources in certain circumstances (for example, in certain locations such as municipal wellhead protection areas and in certain quantities). The make-up of the committee is shaped by the source protection committee regulation (Ontario Regulation 288/07) and by a local process that took place to decide how to include diverse voices at the committee table. One third of the committee is from municipalities. One third of the committee (five members) comes from economic sectors. Locally, three of those five economic member seats are from agriculture and the other two are from industry and commerce, including tourism. The other third of the committee represents Other - Environmental, Health, and other interests of the general public (including property owner It is an open tournament and anyone interested in taking part can contact organizer, Julian Bayley for further details at 519 857-6654 or by e-mail at julian@iceculture.com The Maitland Trail Association is a charitable organization established in 1975 with the mission of maintaining and developing trails in the Maitland Valley for discovery and appreciation of the natural environment. The Maitland Trail Association's Board of Directors is pleased to announce the 2017 EI Camino event. This year's two-day, 49 KM hike along the Maitland Trail will take place over the weekend of Sept. 23-24.

Participants will traverse wide rambling trails and challenging hills, hiking through towering forests, past farmland, river vistas and autumn meadows. They may see wildlife, including deer, eagles, ravens, salamanders, snakes and toads. Along the route there will be checkpoints where water and snacks will be provided, and enthusiastic volunteers will cheer you on. Participants may choose to hike the entire 49 KM trail, or select shorter distances to challenge themselves with. The Harvest Supper on Saturday evening will be a casual meal with delicious, locally sourced choices. The supper is a chance to kick back and refuel after a successful hike, share stories and meet other hiking enthusiasts from across the province. Registration is now open at www.maitlandtrail.ca and spaces are filling up quickly. The cost for the two-day hike is $25 for adults and $10 for children.

The link to the posting notice calling for applications is at this link: http://www.sou rcewateri nfo.on.ca/notice-call-for-applications-spc-2017/ Source protection plan policies address a list of 21 activities (such as fuel or chemical storage, among others) in four types of vulnerable areas. The four vulnerable areas are wellhead protection areas which are zones to protect municipal wells and the groundwater that supplies them; surface water intake protection zones; significant groundwater recharge areas; and highly vulnerable aquifers. People may find the maps of these areas by visiting sourcewaterinfo.on.ca. Threat activities may be assessed as low, moderate or significant threats to municipal drinking water sources. In this region, significant threats to drinking water are found only in wellhead protection areas A, B, and C. The policies in those relatively small vulnerable areas reduce risk by using tools ranging from education and outreach to risk management plans, to restricted land uses, or prohibition of some activities. Anyone who wishes to see if they reside in a vulnerable area near a municipal well, use the interactive maps, or read a fact sheet on one of the 25 municipal well systems in the region can find information at sourcewaterinfo.on.ca. People are invited to review the page on their community's well, consult a detailed map of wellhead protection areas and read a fact sheet that lets them know about the water source and treatment, explains the wellhead protection areas, and provides ways to protect these local drinking water sources. Anyone who would like to learn if plan policies apply to them, or how they can protect local drinking water sources, can visit the website at sourcewaterinfo.on.ca or phone toll-free 1-888-286-2610 or email info@sourcewaterinfo.on.ca.

Several new folks to the fair found the event has retained the traditions that their image of a "fair' has. Many like the opportunities to see the animals from the large heavy horses to the small chicks. Others are attracted to the new competitions or entertainment that is offered each year. Organized by volunteers who want to see this annual event be a highlight for the community every summer is a truly an amazing fact! cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek351ssue425/tabid/846/Default.aspx 10/24 6/13/2019 kilt.,n 1' Week 35 Issue 425 Bayfield Agricultural Society President Doug Yeo reacted to seeing some familiar faces along the parade route. The train tour was a first for the fair and probably the most popular activity by far even late into Sunday afternoon the cars were filled with eager tourists. Agricultural Society volunteer Bil Dowson made countless happy trips around the fairgrounds as the train conductor on the weekend. Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) President Doug Yeo would like to thank everyone who helped make the 161 st fair such a success. He listed his highlights for the 2017 fair: • Irene Okahashi being absolutely shocked being given the President's Award for being a long-term vendor at the Bayfield Fair. She has been a vendor, exhibitor and ticket seller for a long time and what is quite amazing is the fact that the money for anything she sells goes to Crime Stoppers. She proudly had her ribbon pinned at the front of her booth. • The three dignitaries were great sports about the competition they faced at the Opening. What was inspiring is they were encouraging each other and helping one another with suggestions. • The fireworks were great but when speaking with Michael, who set off the spectacle, it was strange to be doing it with the sign saying "No Smoking" just behind him and with several fire department members nearby. • It was a proud moment to see so many flags that the BAS gave out at the beginning of the parade being waved as the parade wound its way through the heart of the village. The families lining the route were definitely patriotic and enthusiastic. • The quilt car was a unique combination of blanket and vehicle and as the owner said she can always keep warm. Many stares were observed when it slowly drove along the parade route. • The dunk tank proved to be a centre of a lot of excitement with children dunking their parents and the public dunking a police officer, or mayor, or fire department member, or radio celebrity. Everyone was a great sport and got into the spirit of challenging each person throwing the ball. • A lot of skill had been noticed for the drivers of the Friesian horses as they drove through the obstacle course. They were brought from a trot to walk to fast pace as they manoeuvered though the various sections of the course. • Who thought watching pigs run for a drink of milk could be so entertaining and exciting. The large crowd that gathered were delighted doing much cheering and pig calling. The winner in addition to bragging rights, which went well into the night hours, got to also provide a charity with a donation. People became very attached to their pig and there is rumour that possibly a few of the pigs had their feelings hurt with some of the names provided. • Exploding watermelons are hard to describe until you experience it. Many of the participants in the watermelon competition ended up with blisters and aching muscles as they put repeated layers of elastic bands on a watermelon. The melons did cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek351ssue425/tabid/846/Default.aspx 11/24 6/13/2019 Week 35 Issue 425 This young lad motioned for the train whistle as he rode along. Snippety was on hand at the fair to make balloon creations and paint faces - this young lady followed these activities with a train ride. Many youngsters who rode on the train were heard to exclaim, "We're going into the forest!" It was actually the hedge row between the ball diamond and the fairgrounds but for youngsters it was still quite an adventure! not disappoint as they took their time but they did explode. • A visual highlight was seeing one busker walking around on stilts and being so tall he was looking down at the folks who were in the cab of the modern tractor. • A special highlight was checking the statistics of the number of entries on all the exhibits in the arena. Except in two sections there were increased entries. The handcraft section has the most with over 300 entries. • My final highlight was seeing the number of young people carrying stuffed toys away after having a great time at the midway. They were leaving with a souvenir of a happy experience and that is what a fair should provide. Reports are already written and being written about suggestions for next year and the BAS welcomes input by asking you to fill in a questionnaire online on the website www.bayfieldfair.ca. Volunteers are always welcome and an invitation to come to the after -fair meeting is extended for Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. in the basement of St. Andrew's United Church. The train was reportedly on loan from the Parkhill Agricultural Society and judging from its popularity hopefully it will be back again next year! cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek351ssue425/tabid/846/Default.aspx 12/24 6/13/2019 Week 35 Issue 425 Scott Miller, a reporter with CTV, officially opened the Bayfield Community Fair on Friday night and then was challenged to some tasks that included sawing a piece of wood. President of the Bayfield Agricultural Society, Doug Yeo, timed his efforts. Travis Saunders, 8, of Bayfield, earned a "Best in Show" for his very detailed "Lego parade float". Linda Dixon's entry in the "Biggest Carrot" category took third prize. Doug Yeo's "collection of vegetables" earned a "Best in Show" ribbon at the 2017 Bayfield Community Fair. Katie Nurse, 7, of Kingsville, ON earned a first place ribbon for her "birthday cake for Canada using recycled materials". cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week351ssue425/tabid/846/Default.aspx 13/24 6/13/2019 Week 35 Issue 425 Charlotte Williamson's creation appeared too cute to think about eating.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Saturday dawned overcast that proved to be perfect viewing weather for the Bayfield Community Fair Parade on Aug. 20. The parade made its way along Main and John Streets at the stroke of 11 o'clock and at its end folks were encouraged to follow along to Agriculture Park for the 161st Bayfield Community Fair. And follow they did! The Parade Marshall this year was former longtime fair volunteer and honorary board member, Afra Van Wonderen. For the second time the Bayfield Arena Community Partners Association organized the parade on behalf of the Bayfield Agricultural Society. Those supporting the parade this year were: Bayfield Convenience & Gifts, Bayfield Lions' Club, Den -Way Auto, Municipality of Bluewater, and the Virtual High School Three bands performed for the crowds as they walked along the route nicely spaced between vintage vehicles and tractors and youngsters on decorated bicycles. The Stratford Police Band, Clinton Legion 140 Pipes and Drums Band, Seaforth All Girls Marching Band and kept many a foot a tapping as they marched by. The Shriner's presence always adds flair to the festivities and they did not disappoint with representation from the Mocha Motor Corps, Mocha Temple Road Runners and the Mocha Jeepsters Unit. Both Paul Bunyan Campground and the Egerton Beach neighborhood entered floats with a patriotic theme in celebration of Canada's 150th birthday — a young nation compared to the fair that is 11 years its senior! This entry is a regular in all the local parades promoting boat safety.

John Robinson, of Bayfield, had a great vantage point to see the spectators as he was driven down John Street. The Mocha Temple Road Runners are always a favorite entry in the annual parade. Perhaps two future Mocha Motor Corps make their way down John Street behind the aforementioned Shriners.

Let's go to the library first, stroll over to the children's corner. The storybooks on the shelves are dusty. In the corner the reading chair sits empty. The children's computers turned off. The toys that were once out on the play rug are now away in a box. Leave the library and head to Clan Gregor Square. The swings sit rusted from lack of use. The Splash Pad sits quiet, as there is no one who has happily pushed the on button in quite awhile.The place is eerily silent. Take a stroll down a side street — basketball hoops and road hockey nets are disintegrating where they were left. No shouts of "car" can be heard from young voices as no games are being interrupted. Approach the door of the Bayfield Arena ... the front door is locked. The ice is gone... no games of pick up hockey, no organized hockey, no skating lessons, no tournaments, no public skating. The children and their families are gone... moved to centers with amenities that can offer more for their young, active lifestyles. And then it happens like a game of dominoes... no more MILKs Group, no more Preschool, no more Ontario Early Years program, no more church day camps or summer camps, no more Girl Guides, no more Optimist Club ... no need, there are no children living here. Ice or no ice - ask yourself how sad would a village be with no children? Some will say this is an exaggeration but it was a recurring theme noted by the two delegations and the members of the very, large crowd that gathered in the council chambers in Varna on Monday night when council voted to remove the ice from the Bayfield Arena permanently in March of 2018. Thankfully it wasn't unanimous and my inner child remains hopeful that both the BACPA and BFIT won't give up the fight for both the young and young at heart in this community. — Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
