The Municipality of Bluewater has contracted
Monteith & Brown Planning Consultants to conduct a
feasibility study on the future uses of the Bayfield
Arena and Community Centre.
Bluewater's Manager of Facilities, Jeff Newell,
worked with members of the Bayfield Facility
Initiative Team and the Bayfield and Area Chamber
of Commerce, as well as Mayor Tyler Hessel and
Councilor John Gillespie, to set the "Terms of
Reference" for the study.
"The Consulting firm will be collecting demographic
data, reviewing the aging infrastructure of the
Bayfield complex and gathering feedback on the
recreational needs of the residents of Bayfield and
surrounding area," explained Newell.
An Open House was held in the Bayfield Commuinty
Centre on June 13 and people were invited to leave
comments as community consultation is an important
part of the study. Bluewater residents and users of
the current facility who were unable to attend the
Open House are stil able to contribute their opinion

who posed for pictures with his fellow reading
fans. Plus several members of the Bayfield
Ukulele Society (BUS) set up on the library
lawn to serenade visitors with some fabulous
tunes!
A highlight of the day was a presentation by the
trio of owners, past and present, of The Village
Bookshop to the Huron County Library system.
Current owner, Martha Beechie, was joined by
Mary Brown and original owner, Mary Wolf, to
make the presentation of a collection of plaques
made from posters from the Bayfield Reads
event and author readings that took place in the
village from 2001 to 2012. Many of these
plaques have been signed by the visiting
authors. The collection was donated
anonymously to the Huron County Library and
are currently on display at the Bayfield Library.

MORE PIONEER PARK RUMMAGE
SALE DROP OFF DAYS ADDED
Pioneer Park by artist Catherine Tillmann
A treasure we all share.
Preserved as a natural wonder for all, since 1947, Pioneer Park and beach has been and is a
constant pleasure. It brings joy to all who live in, summer in and visit Bayfield. It holds open our
access to the most beautiful sunsets in the country and stretches down to include our long
natural beach for sunbathing, swimming and sailing.
Along with providing for the activities year-round, this glorious park is the reason for one of
Bayfield's most enduring and deeply anticipated community events: The Pioneer Park
Rummage Sale. More than the primary fundraiser that supports the maintenance of the park,
the Rummage Sale is the main kick-off community event of the summer season. This will be its
71st year.
This year the sale will be held on Friday, July 13 at the Bayfield Arena. The outdoor sales begin
at 6:30 p.m. while the Zamboni doors will open to the arena promptly at 7 p.m.
Donations for the sale are piling up. Organizers are very pleased and happy to thank everyone
who has visited the drop off centre to date. The Quonset Huts at the north end of the village
just off Hwy 21 is the location. The upcoming drop off dates are Saturday, June 30 and July 6
plus Monday, July 2 and July 9. The open times are 10 a.m. to noon.
Please be advised that while organizers are delighted with donations, there are some items
that they cannot accept. These include: appliances including microwave ovens, children's
furnishings, clothing, shoes, computers, faxes, printers, large kitchen appliances and any
electricals that are not CSA approved.
Volunteers make this event run smoothly and new ones are always welcome. Please email
info@pioneerpark.ca or text Mike Peirce at 312 618-5825. Veteran table team members are
asked to contact their team captains now!

Virtual High School (VHS), Florida Virtual School (FLVS), and D2L have completed an 18 -
month course development project to write, design, and develop 36 elementary courses from
Kindergarten to Grade 5. The project—which produced 34,903 pages of content—is one of the
largest content development projects to take place in such a short timeframe in North America.
VHS joined forces with D2L to respond to a Request for Proposal (RFP) released by FLVS in
2016. FLVS released the RFP following a decision to build out its own elementary course
content rather than leasing content from another provider. With 20 years of experience in

The firefighters in our village will be up bright and
early on July 7 to prepare for their annual Firemen's
Breakfast that will have people lining up for the 7

And who wouldn't line up for pancakes with real
maple syrup, eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, toast
and juice, plus let's not forget the Tim Horton's
coffee, generously donated by the Tim Horton's of
Exeter.
The cost for the breakfast is adults, $8; and children,
$5. The event will conclude at 11 a.m.
YOUTH TALENT SEARCH
If you sing, dance, play an instrument or perform in
other ways, and are between the ages of six and 21
then the Rise2Fame Youth Talent Search is looking
for you. It's not too early to start practicing and
perfecting your performance.
The Bayfield preliminary competition to the Western
Fair Talent Search takes place on Friday, Aug. 17 at
the Bayfield Community Fair, upstairs in the Bayfield
Community Centre.
Junior competitions begin first at 7 p.m. with Youth
competitions to follow. Check-in is at 6 p.m. This
ensures that all registration documents are complete
and that music can be lined up for the show. Be sure
to read the rules very carefully online by visiting the
website at
https://www.westernfairdistrict,com/western-fair/rise-
2-fame Registration must be completed online on the
Western Fair site before Aug. 8.
Winners go on to perform at the Western Fair – a 37 -
year tradition that has touched the lives of thousands
of talented youngsters from across the province. The
Western Fair Rise2Fame Youth Talent Search, along
with the preliminaries, has been the start to many
careers in the arts and continues to encourage young
people to pursue their talents, by giving them a
chance to perform in front of a live audience.
Remember, Bayfield's preliminary contest is one of
the last before this year's Western Fair. Categories of
competition are (1) Vocal Solo; (2) Instrumental Solo;
(3) Dance Solo; (4) Dance Group; (5) Vocal and/or
Instrumental Group including bands; (6) Variety Solo
and (7) Variety Group. Individuals can compete more
than once in different categories.

course design and development for VHS's own course offerings, VHS felt well-positioned for
success. VHS responded to the RFP as a vendor for content development services and was
ranked as the top vendor by FLVS after a rigorous review process. The announcement to
award the entire project to VHS, in partnership with D2L, was posted by FLVS in August 2016
The completion of the Elementary Course Development Project is a major milestone for VHS,
D2L, and FLVS. VHS and FLVS both built large teams to write, develop and review course
content in eight different subject areas (Math, Technology, Science, Physical Education,
English, Spanish, Social Studies and Art). Ramping up for the project meant an increase in
staffing of more than 150 percent at VHS, resulting in more than 60 new staff hires to work in
Bayfield and live in the surrounding area. D2L supported VHS project management and
assisted in the creation of custom interactives and graphic assets for use in the courses. The
final product of this project is a suite of engaging, interactive and media -rich online courses to
be used by FLVS in the United States and worldwide by any of its students or clients.
FLVS has reported that educational stakeholders are pleased with the outcome of the
collaborative course development project and that students will have a positive experience in
the online courses. FLVS, VHS and D21L are excited about the launch of the course suite for
the 2018-2019 school year and eager for students to engage with the courses created over the
past 18 months.
The Virtual High School is an online course development company based out of Bayfield that
specializes in custom course development work. VHS has developed over 125 online courses
ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 12, including its work with FLVS and plans to expand its
course development services in the future.
VHS is also a fully online high school offering Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD)
credits to students worldwide. VHS was created when its founder saw a need for a different

September. At the Western Fair competition there are
big cash prizes and trophies for final winners. The

There are just sixty-six days remaining until Run4Kids 2018, a 5 KM Run/Walk in support of
Make -A -Wish Southwestern Ontario sponsored by the Virtual High School with support from
the Optimist Club in Bayfield.
In anticipation of this sixth annual event to be held on Sept. 2 a little Q & A was done with the
event organizers:
What is the history of the Run4Kids event?
The Run4Kids 5 KM Run/Walk was started in 2012 to raise funds to support a child undergoing
cancer treatment. Staff at VHS were inspired by the story of Will Frassinelli, a VHS student
who has been battling brain cancer for over ten years. Encouraged by the generosity of
participants in the past Run4Kids events, we have sought out other children's charities in the
Huron County region.
How do you go about selecting a wish child to sponsor?
VHS contacts Make -A -Wish Southwestern Ontario who is responsible for finding a suitable
candidate to sponsor. The child is typically from Huron County or a nearby region.
What has the reception been like from the community? Does the Run4Kids receive a lot
of support?
The success of the event is highly dependent on the support of the community. Each year

FRONT LINE SMILES FROM ZURICH'S
MEDICAL OFFICE ASSISTANTS
Editor's Note: Ron Davis is a retired journalist, and a patient with the Bluewater Area Family
Health Team (BAFHT), who decided to take a closer look at the various departments at the
medical clinic in Zurich and explain the different roles the staff play in making the centre tick on
a daily basis. In this second article he examines the role of Medical Office Assistants (MOAB).
BY RON DAVIS
Kim Poortinga (Submitted photos)
I'm getting into this health care stuff now. After
a lifetime of receiving the best in health care
and not even bothering to learn more about it, I
should be ashamed of myself. I'm 73 now — I
know, I know, I should have made the effort to
learn. I, like so many others take everything for
granted — if I get sick I know where I can get
looked after properly.
Last time, I talked about Nurse Practitioners
and the role they play. Now, I'll explain what the
Medical Office Assistants (MOAs) do and I think
you will be quite surprised.
If it takes 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown
why would you waste energy? The MOA team
at the front desk at the BAFHT medical clinic in
Zurich must be believers in this message and it
is rare indeed to not see a broad smile as they
greet patients coming in for their appointments.
The BAFHT staff at the front of the house, as
they say in the restaurant trade, are the face of
the clinic and they are responsible for taking down all your relevant information and completing
the paperwork. They try and make you feel comfortable before your session with a specialist,
Nurse Practitioner or Physician. The MOAB — Melissa Beacom, Kim Poortinga, Sarah Romphf
and Meaghan Whalen - do it well.
In addition to maintaining medical records and reporting statistics, the MOAB help train new

procedure appointments and help patients complete appropriate forms and documents.
MOAs also answer the phones, check messages and faxes and handle mail. They also help

Bluewater Blooms is hosting a contest for local gardening
talents. Contest closes July 8. (Submitted photo)
Bluewater Blooms is hosting a garden contest to
celebrate the hard work of our green -thumbed
neighbors!
Send us a photo of a garden anywhere in Bluewater
and describe briefly how it impresses you. Does a
garden incorporate best environmental practices
such as composting, or compliment the historical
attributes of a century home, or is it a whimsical
home to tiny fairies? There are no categories. It's just
a celebration of colorful gardens!
The contest closes July 8.
What Can the Best Neighborhood Gardens Win? Six
beautiful gardens will win our Neighborhood Award
sign posted at the garden and a Miracle -Gro gift
donated by Scotts Canada (one jug of Shake 'N Feed
All Purpose and one package of Nature's Care
Vegetable, Fruit and Flower Food).
To enter email nevans@municipalityofbluewater.ca or
comment or upload to Facebook (tag:
bluewaterbloomscontest)
There is a bit of fine print though. We will want to
photograph the winners' garden and obtain their
signature on a permission form that allows the
National Communities in Bloom (CIB) organization
and Scotts Miracle -Gro to use the photograph on
their respective websites as well as CIB social
media, magazine and awards ceremony. This contest
is being held by the Municipality of Bluewater
Communities in Bloom Committee (Bluewater
Blooms).

The annual Bayfield Cemetery Decoration Day
Service was held on Sunday, June 24. With rain
threatening, the service was held in the Cemetery
Chapel and lead by Emily Webb, summer student
minister at Knox Presbyterian Church in Bayfield.
The service began with prayer and singing followed
by Psalm 121. The message was about storytelling
and how the stories we share shape who we are and
who we will become.
Our personal stories interweave with the stories of
families, our hometowns and our nation. It is in
places where these stories intersect that community
is built.
The memorial stones in the cemetery do not just
commemorate a death — each one represents a
story. Whether we know those stories or not,
because their story happened here and our stories
are happening here, we are all part of the larger story
of Bayfield.
Christians believe that there is an even larger story of
God in relationship with human beings. From
Ephesians 1: 3-12, it is in Christ that we find out who
we are and what we are living for and we learn that
God wants to interweave his story with ours.
The service concluded by praying for the needs of
the world and the community and by singing
"Amazing Grace".

UNAPOLOGETICALLY CANADIAN AND QUINTESSENTIALLY
BRITISH VOICES UNITE ON THE TOWN HALL STAGE
Ryan Malcolm and Richard Hadfield
Ryan Malcolm and Richard Hadfield
PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
What happens when you put a local real estate
guru, a sandwich chef, a young upstart, the first
Canadian Idol and a British bloke with a love for
jazz together on a stage for one night only?
Something pretty darn wonderful that's what.
And those lucky enough to have tickets to hear
Ryan Malcolm and Richard Hadfield sing at the
Bayfield Town Hall on Thursday, June 21 would
know doubt agree.
Up until the day before the concert Malcolm and
Hadfield had never actually met. They connected
through a mutual friend from Wales. Despite just
one rehearsal the pair's significant performing
experience as well as the talent of Rick Lobb
(drums), Robert Whyte (base) and Justin Evans
(lead guitar) held them in good stead and a
magical evening of music, humour and friendly
competition ensued.
In fact, the headliners joked that opening act and
lead guitarist for the evening, Evans, almost stole
the show. His easy repore, self -deprecating
humor and obvious musical talent endeared him
to the audience many of whom hopefully
purchased the $5 EP he was pedaling. Evans
sang his own compositions including, "When Your
Heart is Broken", explaining prior to performing
that he had never actually had a broken heart,
thankfully, but wrote this song by observing the
experiences of others.
Hadfield, the winner of Britain's Got Talent 2014
(with the group Collabro), and Malcolm, Bayfield's
adopted son and Canada's first Idol (2003),
shared the stage taking turns performing and
occasionally backing each other up vocally. At the
heart of Hadfield's performance is a strong love
for Jazz. His musical theatre background shone
through in numbers like "The Phantom of the
Opera" paired with the "Pink Panther Theme" as
well as such crooner ballads as "The Way You
Look Tonight".
In contrast, Malcolm performed selections from
The Tragically Hip and The Lumineers catalogues
as well as the song that kept him at number one
on the Canadian charts in 2003 for 13 weeks,
"Something More".
Naturally competitive the pair enjoyed squaring off
to close out the show taking "Feeling Good" to a
level that might have even made Simon Cowell

smile... it certainly brought the town hall crowd to
their feet!
Malcolm himself concluded that, "It was probably
one of the most memorable and fun nights of my
career and I want to thank everyone for coming
out and supporting local music!"
This event was brought to the village by LP
Productions as part of the Bayfield Concert
Series. Barney Bentall is their next performer
coming to town on Aug. 16 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets
are available now at www.ticketscene.ca.

I was sitting in the second row from the stage in the town hall on Thursday night listening to some tremendous music when my
inner voice interrupted.
"Do you know how lucky you are?" it queried. "How many rural villages of 1,000 residents can draw such talented people to
share their musical gifts with the community?"
We are indeed fortunate. This week a little tip of the hat to those determined few that about 30 years ago decided that the
Bayfield Town Hall should be spared from the wrecking ball. Thanks to those people who had a vision that the space could
become a special venue to host such intimate events like music concerts whether they be a big band or simply singers with

their acoustic guitars. Many of those visionaries are no longer with us but luckily there have been others that have taken the torch and continue their
legacy of making the hall a terrific place to spend a Thursday night!
And guess where I and my inner voice will be tomorrow night? Yep, humming along with "The Dreamboats" as the quartet returns to the town hall stage for
a second sold -out year! — Melody
