Week 33 Issue 475
This annual fair is a celebration of rural life and has been a part of the Bayfield scene for 162
years. Fairs are a community festival where friendly competition occurs whether it is with
animals or a variety of indoor classes; it is a source of a variety of ever changing entertainment
and a chance to see some of the agricultural industry whether it is getting close to some of the
animals, the machines, or products from the farm.
Townsend's Amusements will have a midway available throughout the weekend and offers
special rates on Saturday after 5 p.m. and all -day Sunday. And back by popular demand a
"train" will be making regular circuits around the grounds carrying kids of all ages.
The farm animal display will be open every day and is always a popular spot for all ages. A
modern tractor will be available for youngsters to imagine driving through the fields. The indoor
displays which take up the bulk of the arena are filled with exhibits highlighting the talented,
creative and green -thumbed members of the community. The arena also has an area where
the young people can play in the grain with some farm toys.
Friday night people can have their hunger satisfied with a ribs meal prepared by Pineridge and
enjoy music on the RBC stage by Graham Bedard. Youth compete at the Rise2Fame talent
competition for a chance to compete at the Western Fair. Several previous winners have done
very well in London. The beer gardens are available for a relaxing night before opening day
climaxes with fireworks.
Saturday begins with a light horse show while many congregate along the main street of
Bayfield for the parade at 11 a.m. The final float this year will feature an entertainer who will
perform later in the day in the arena and also in the tent area. The fairgrounds have a host of
activities taking place in every corner including two sheep herding demonstrations,
"Bubbleology° performances, a dunk tank, a Friesian horse show, the 4-H dairy and sheep
competitions, pig demonstrations, a mini tractor pull, and a Discovery Tent. The day concludes
with 21 Gun Salute which is an AC/DC tribute band renowned for their performances.
On Sunday, people will gather under the tent for a community church service. The heavy
horses and miniature horses compete in the two show rings throughout the day. The
demonstrations of sheep herding and the Discovery Tent will again be held in the afternoon. A
jamboree will be held in the air-conditioned community centre while the watermelon
competition will be visible near the tent.
The Homecraft President, Jean Dunn, who coordinates all the indoor exhibits, said, "Meet old
and new friends over coffee and pie."
Fairs are a community event for mingling with your neighbors and it is the opportunity to bring
your many generations of family to a gathering that has something for all ages. Further
information can be obtained from the website BayfieldFair.ca.

This image, created from a photograph by Jack Pal of the "Bayfield Lighthouse", was unveiled at the Bayfield
Public Library on the morning of Aug. 11. This collaborative creation will be on display outside the Bayfield
Library from now until Aug. 18.
Earlier this year the Goderich Co-op Gallery displayed a Mosaic Mural which was a
collaborative effort of their painter and photographer members. In their words it was a fun and
challenging project that kept them busy over the winter. The Bayfield Artist Guild (BAG)
members decided that it was such a successful effort that they wanted to try something similar
over the summer.
Near the start of summer, they approached the Photography Club of Bayfield (PCoB) and with
the help of Angela Kaptein they came together to make this summer creative collaboration a
reality.
A photograph was selected by members of the PCoB. The image, unseen by BAG members,
was sized and divided into 16 equal parts. Sixteen members were given a 1/1 6th size
numbered piece of the picture and a 16 x 20 inch canvas. Each artist was directed to interpret
the image in whatever way that they chose using their own style with the only caveats being
the importance of sizing the image so that when put together, the pieces of the mosaic would
line up to meet the adjacent pieces and a suggested palette to ensure some visual consistency
throughout the finished work.
The participating artists that were able to attend the unveiling were (1-r): Mary Hurley, Lori Webb Thompson,
Linda Kumpf, Trisch Pemberton, Leslee Squirrell, Mary Elizabeth Stephenson, Debra MacArthur and Deb
Grasby. A complete list of the painters involved in this project is on display at the library. (Submitted photo)
The image, created from a photograph by Jack Pal of the `Bayfield Lighthouse", was unveiled
at the Bayfield Public Library on the morning of Aug. 11. The end result was a surprise to the
BAG members, artists and community. This collaborative creation will be on display outside the
Bayfield Library from now until Aug. 18.

CALENDAR TO BE LAUNCHED FRIDAY
What will the 2019 calendar cover look like? Visit the Bayfield Farmers' Market this Friday to find out.
(Submitted photo)
On Aug. 17, the Bayfield Lions' Club and the Photography Club of Bayfield (PCoB) will be
launching the 2019 Bayfield Calendar. The calendar is a joint project of the Lions and the
PCoB.
"The theme this year was: Bayfield and area architecture interpreted liberally... it could be a
window or door, a barn, a birdhouse, a gable end or other architectural feature and, yes, even
a building!" said Jack Pal, chair of the Calendar Committee. "We continue to challenge our
photographers with new themes every year and make changes which we hope the public will
like."
A short list of 16 photos was selected from 217 entries this year. All members of the PCoB had
a vote in selecting this final short list. The thirteen winners were determined by a vote by the
members of the Lions' Calendar Committee. Each of the selected photos has been enlarged
and matted to a 16" x 20" size ready for framing. The unveiling of these photos will take place
at the Bayfield Farmers' Market at 4 p.m. on Friday. The enlarged prints will be available for
immediate sale at a price of $40 and will include a free copy of the new calendar.
"Something new this year will be the sale of calendar photos printed 24" x 36" in size on
canvas and mounted ready for hanging. We hope this will be a popular addition," said Pal.
The new calendar will also be offered for sale at a price of $10 and will be available at Shop
Bike Coffee Roasters and Bayfield Foodland as well as from Lions members, PCoB members,
community organizations and volunteers. All calendar proceeds go towards Lions projects in
the community. Organizers note that the calendars make wonderful gifts and mementos of
Bayfield.
For those who miss the launch, there will be a display of all the calendar photos at the Bayfield
Archives and Heritage Centre until the Bayfield Town Hall's annual Sunset on Summer event
on Sept. 1 when the prints and calendars will once again be displayed and offered for sale from
4:30-7 p.m. Net proceeds from items sold there will be shared between the Lions and Town
Hall.

CELTIC MUSIC AND STEP DANCING
IGNITES AT FESTIVAL PREVIEW
PHOTOS BY JACK PAL
"Rant Maggie Rant"
"Rant Maggie Rant" and "The Fitzgeralds" performed live at the Bayfield Town Hall, courtesy of
the Celtic Festival in Goderich, on Aug. 6. Powerful Celtic music and championship step
dancing were enjoyed by all in attendance.
Rant Maggie Rant embraces the time-honored styles of the music from seven Celtic Nations:
Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall, Wales and the lesser known Isle of Mann, and the Celtic regions of
Galicia in Spain and Brittany in France, as well as Quebec and Canada's East Coast, with
each member bringing their individually unique influences to create an uplifting, infectious
sound. They were the 2018 Jack Richardson Music Awards Winners for Traditional Folk/Roots.
The Fitzgeralds are a family group consisting of fiddling and step dancing siblings: Tom, Kerry
and Julie Fitzgerald. These siblings from outside of Canada's renowned Ottawa Valley have
come a long way from their small-town roots. Featuring 3 -time Canadian Grandmaster Fiddle
Champions and Ontario Open Step Dance Champions, this is a unique act features high-
energy fiddling and mind-blowing step dancing!
How many among us take notice of certain symbols
that remind us of someone special who no longer
walks the earth? Hearing the striking lilt of a birdcall,
sighting a butterfly flitting by or spotting a feather on
the ground are all fine examples of these signs.
In recognition of these the Huron Residential Hospice
is holding an event in Pioneer Park on Sept. 9 that
will allow community members to honor the memory
of loved ones or beloved pets in a symbolic way at a
Butterfly Release.
This second annual event will be held from 1:30-4
p.m. Those who attend should bring their own lawn
chair or blanket to sit on.
Please go to www.eventbrite.ca to purchase your
butterfly prior to Aug. 24. Monarch butterflies are $25
each.

NEW SMOKING BY-LAW
Beginning Sept. 1, a new by-law prohibiting smoking
anywhere on Huron County owned property will
come into effect.
"This by-law will help protect our staff and visitors
from second hand smoke" said Meighan Wark, Huron
County CAO. "We know from working with the Health
Unit that smoke-free policies are an important way to
help create healthier and cleaner environments."
The by-law prohibits smoking or holding of lighted
tobacco, lighted cannabis; lighted, heated, or
otherwise activated smoking equipment; or the
smoking or holding of any other lighted or heated
non -tobacco substance on any County -owned
property.
Nearly 20 County -owned properties are impacted by
this by-law, including properties such as the
museum, social services, health unit, and the areas
immediately surrounding the Goderich Courthouse.
Signage will be posted at each County -owned
property that will now be smoke-free under the new
by-law.
County staff have been preparing to implement the
by-law since it was confirmed in December 2017.
"There are many benefits to smoke-free spaces,"
said Angela Willert, Senior Public Health promoter
with the Huron County Health Unit (HCHU). "By-laws
such as this one help reduce health risks of second
hand smoke, discourages tobacco use, and creates
a supportive environment for those looking to quit."
For more information, visit huroncounty.ca/by-laws.
For questions on enforcement, please call the HCHU
at 519 482-3416.

BAYFIELD WATERSHED ENTERS LEVEL
2 LOW WATER ADVISORY
Streamflow in the Bayfield River watershed has continued to decline as a result of prolonged
dry weather, prompting the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) Water Response
Team (WRT) to move from a Level 1 Low Water Advisory, into a Level 2 Low Water Advisory
for the Bayfield River watershed.
Rainfall distribution through the month of July varied widely across the ABCA watershed. While
some areas received near normal rainfall amounts for the month of July, other areas received
very little, as low as 25 millimetres (mm). Much of this had to do with how the rainfall patterns
moved through the watershed, generally from south to north.
With some local exceptions, it was the Bayfield River watershed that once again missed most
of the rain. This area has been the hardest hit by drought conditions in 2018.
Streamflow continues to decline across the remainder of the ABCA watershed but, based on
the Low Water indicator thresholds for July, the Ausable River remains slightly outside of a low
water condition. Real-time flows in the Ausable River watershed are indicative of a low water
condition and will be monitored closely as we move through August, with the potential to issue
additional advisories.
"Most of the rainfall in August was used up at the ground surface, with very little contribution to
stream flow. To reverse the trend of declining streamflow, it will take a much wetter than normal
August if we are to see sustained improvement in streamflow conditions," according to Davin
Heinbuck, Water Resources coordinator at ABCA.
WRT Chair Doug Cook said everyone has a role to play in water conservation. He encourages
all water users to look for ways they can conserve water and prevent further reduction in water
levels and availability through the summer.
"For areas where a Level 2 Low Water Advisory is in place, we are encouraging water users to
voluntarily reduce their water use by 20 per cent," he said. "For water users that do not fall
within areas currently under a low water advisory, water conservation should still be a priority in
order that the water resource is available to meet both short and long-term social, economic
and environmental needs."
For ideas on ways you can reduce water use, please visit the water quantity and water
conservation page at abca.ca at this link: https://www.abca.ca/page.php?page=water-quantity
The WRT was formed in 2001 in response to the low water and drought conditions that year
and the team has been active ever since. The WRT includes representatives of major water

BAT SEASON
Have you found a bat in your home recently? You're
not alone. During the warmer months it is common
for bats to find their way into homes through open
windows and openings as small as 1.25 cm (3/8 of
an inch). The Huron County Health Unit (HCHU)
reminds residents to avoid bat exposures.
As recently as 2016, a Huron County bat tested
positive for rabies. Overall, one to three per cent of
Ontario's bat population is infected with rabies
according to the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Rabies is a viral disease that is fatal to humans.
"if you are bitten or scratched by a bat, or if infectious
material (such as saliva) from a bat gets into your
eyes, nose, or a wound, wash the affected area
thoroughly and seek medical attention immediately,"
said Public Health Inspector Patrick Landry. "If you
awaken and find a bat in your room or in the room of
an unattended child or an incapacitated person, call
the Huron County Health Unit."
When there has been a bite, scratch, or exposure to
infectious material, the bat should be captured, if
possible, so that the HCHU can arrange for rabies
testing. If the bat is dead, put some gloves on and
place the bat in an empty container, such as a coffee
can. Do not touch a bat with your bare hands.
If you find a bat in your home and are absolutely sure
that there was no human contact, try to confine the
bat to one room, turn on the lights and open a
window so the bat can fly out.
Bats remain active until cooler weather arrives,
generally beginning to hibernate or fly south around
November.
Residents with questions or concerns should call the
HCHU at 519 482-3416 or 1-877-837-6143.

users (such as aggregate industries; agriculture and vegetable growers; and golf and
recreation) and includes local municipal representatives and staff of provincial ministries (such
as Natural Resources and Forestry; Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs; and Environment,
Conservation and Parks). ABCA staff will continue to monitor rainfall and streamflow data and
keep the public informed of any changes in watershed conditions. The WRT relies on both
precipitation and streamflow indicators to support any decision to move into a Low Water
Advisory. Indicators include one-month streamflow and one month or three-month precipitation.
A Level 1 Low Water Advisory includes a request for a 10 per cent voluntary reduction in water
use. A Level 2 Low Water Advisory includes a call for an additional 10 per cent (total of 20 per
cent) voluntary reduction in water use. A Level 3 Low Water Advisory may involve mandatory
water use restrictions.
Visit www.ontario.ca/lowwater for further resources on the Ontario low water response program
or the website at abca.ca for the dynamic low-water advisory tool which alerts people to low-
water advisories in effect in the watershed.
LIVE AUCTION HIGHLIGHT OF
"BETTER TOGETHER" GALA
On Thursday, Aug. 2, the Huron County Food Bank Distribution Centre's (HCFBDC) 5th
Annual "Better Together" Gala took place at the Libro Hall in Clinton with guests from across
Huron County as well as London, Stratford and area.
Greetings were provided by Huron -Bruce MP, Ben Lobb; Janet Haines, representing Huron -
Bruce MPP Lisa Thompson; Huron County Warden, Jim Ginn; HCFBDC Board Chair
Willemien Katerberg; and HCFBDC Executive Director Mary Ellen Zielman.
Guest speaker Jackie Wells, of Ailsa Craig, ON, spoke about growing up in a large family
where there was not a lot of extra money for "luxuries" but that they always had enough food
on the table from their garden, field and barn. She talked about poverty and the effect on food
insecurity in the area. Her new awareness of HCFBDC and the issue of food insecurity was
shared very clearly with the guests.
The evening featured a delicious meal catered by Chef Devin Tabor as well as a silent auction
and a raffle table. A lively auction completed the evening with guest auctioneers Ben Lobb,
Huron -Bruce MP; Fred Lobb, emcee; and Glen McNeil, councilor representing the Township of
Ashfield- Colborne-Wawanosh. Doug Jacob, of Mitchell, was invited to the stage by Ben Lobb
to auction off an item as well.
HCFBDC's purpose is to source and supply food and related products for the 10 food banks
and 15 plus aid agencies in Huron County. The HCFBDC relies on the generous donations of
area growers to supply fresh fruit and vegetables (seasonal) and meat products. HCFBDC
relies on financial donations to purchase eggs, dairy, fresh produce and other nutritious foods
in addition to the donated foods.
Organizers of the event extend thanks to all the donors, sponsors, volunteers and attendees
who made the 2018 "Better Together" Gala a great success and they ask that people save the
date for the HCFBDC 6th Annual Gala set for Thursday, Aug. 1, 2019
For more information, please visit the HCFBDC's website at www.huroncountyfoodbank.org or
contact the office at 519 913-2362.

Volume 10
There are countless photographs of people in the Bayfield Historical Society's Archives

image with the hopes that one of our subscribers might be able to identify the individual(s) in
the photo. Please email your information to the Editor's attention at the address listed near the
bottom of the page in "Submissions" or you can email the archivist directly at
bayarchives@tcc.on.ca or click on the image and make a comment on Flickr.
Editor's Note: We are now adding the archive's code to the information supplied with the
photographs so that if anyone would like to learn more from the Bayfield Archives about
certain pictures they can use the code to make the process easier.
This week, records indicate that this image was taken in the 1930s and that Jack Walters is
seated on one of the horses. Does anyone remember him or recognize the other young lad?

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
Progress is a part of everything in life even a
more than three decades old antique show! The
33rd annual show hosted by the members and
friends of Trinity Anglican Church has a new
name: the Bayfield Antique and Vintage Show
and was one day shorter this year.
Due to requests from vendors the show was held
on Friday and Saturday only, Aug. 10-11, at the
Bayfield Arena. There was no Sunday show this
year.
In 1985, the event was first organized as the
Bayfield Antique Fair and Sale. It was, and
remains, a fundraiser for the needs and outreach
of Trinity Anglican Church in Bayfield.
What has never changed is the quality of
merchandise brought to the show by
the participating vendors. Once again they
brought an impressive collection of antiques and
collectibles, big and small, to suit every taste and
pocketbook. The arena floor was arranged with a
fine array of quality antiques and collectibles such
as Canadiana, furniture, books, porcelain, silver,
estate and costume jewelry and antique toys.
In addition, the Huron County Museum brought
some fun pieces from their historic local collection
of clothing and household items as did the
Bayfield Historical Society Archives' Room.
Friday's Opening Night provided attendees a first
opportunity to purchase the offerings for sale
while they were treated to wine and cheese. A
highlight of the evening was a Vintage Fashion
Parade. People enjoyed the looks created by
Judy Roth at JMR Collections, on Bayfield's Main
Street, and the models really had a lot of fun in
their looks from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.
Gold Coast Landscaping also created an inviting
display of colorful flowers at the entrance to the
show.TrThe caf6 organized by church members
and friends kept shoppers sated on Saturday with
a selection of sandwiches, tea, coffee and
delicious homemade sweets.

I admired her like no other person I have ever met. She loved fiercely. She was the definition of a mother bear. She was always
up for a challenge. She gave with her whole heart and rarely expected anything in return except for respect and she earned
that.
At her "Living Celebration of Life" held just a couple of weeks ago she invited people to write a note in a journal. On that day I
couldn't bring myself to pick up the pen. When it came time to leave we hugged each other extra hard. I did not want this day to
come when I walked the earth and she did not. Her spirit, determination and zest for life will carry on through those whose lives
she touched; she earned that too.
Take more pictures. Give more hugs. Wish on more stars. I'll say goodnight but not goodbye. — Melody
