Acclaimed for the next term Whetstone was going to take a break until after the election but the ongoing need for communication with area citizens changed his mind. "I have received multiple questions via email and calls on some of the topics that have been asked at the last couple all candidates' debates as well as others such as, the farm tax ration, voting procedures and, of course, the Tim Hortons," he said. "Many have also asked what my priorities are for the next term of council. At this meeting I will do my best to explain and provide updates." Councilor's Corner will begin at 7 p.m. in the Bayfield Community Centre. Sept. 21 is the date of the Bayfield Farmers' Market popular fall fundraiser. cc.viIlageofbayfield.com/Members/Bayfield Breeze/Week381ssue480/tabid/901 /Default. aspx 1/15 6/11/2019 Week 38 Issue 480 r X7 >3r� RR+,�nei{- y r.r f '� h' �srP, ✓a'r't4. Mh� } k L V Bayfield Lion Bill Steensra was just one of the volunteers that worked on removing the old posts around Clan Gregor Square at the end of last week (Photos by Dave Neanngburg) Work began on the final phase of the Bayfield Lions' Club's Legacy Project on Friday morning, Sept. 14 when the club members began pulling out old posts outlining the perimeter of Clan Gregor Square. At the same time, they filled the holes left with gravel provided by the Municipality of Bluewater. With equipment provided by Bayfield Tree Service and Lions' members, together with a crew of Lion laborers, the work was done over a two day period ending mid-morning on Saturday. This week, a specialty crew from Brussels Ag Services will be on site to pound in approximately 300 cedar posts replacing the decade's old posts that have done their job for many years. A shift in the site line along the southwest corner of The Square is designed to move vehicles further in from the road at that corner. While eliminating one or two parking spots, pedestrian safety will be improved. Lion Don Vance helped with the removal of the posts around Clan Gregor. New cedar posts will be placed this week. The work was done as part of the Bayfield Lions' Legacy Project. This particular part of the Lions' Legacy Project is being undertaken with matching municipal funds and a grant under the Huron County Heritage program. This will conclude a $48,000 project started last year to honor Canada's 150th; Lions' International's 100th; and Bayfield Lions' 70th anniversaries. In addition to the new posts, the project included new picnic tables and large caliper trees in Clan Gregor Square, bike racks located around the village core and a mobile stage for community events. "Souper Duper Friday" offers customers the opportunity to enjoy delicious homemade soups created from the freshest market ingredients. This year's soups will feature beef and ham from CedarVilla Angus Farms and produce from Firmly Rooted Farm. Each bowl of soup will be served with a slice of Red Cat Farm's bread. Vegan soup and wheat free bread will be available. The price is just $5 per bowl, with all proceeds supporting ongoing market operations. The Bayfield Farmers' Market runs until October 5, Thanksgiving weekend, 3-7 p.m. in Clan Gregor Square. BFIT PUBLIC MEETING The Bayfield Facilities Initiative Team (BFIT), has just completed a comprehensive business plan for the community to take over the management and operation of the Bayfield Arena and Community Centre. During this period a longer -range plan for the repurposing of the current building or possibly a new facility would be developed in consultation within the community. The business plan was recently presented to the consultant, Monteith and Brown, hired by the Municipality of Bluewater to investigate the future role of the centre. BFIT is holding a public meeting to present the business plan to the residents of Bayfield and catchment area on Saturday, Oct. 6, 10 a.m. to noon, at the Bayfield Town Hall. All residents, Bluewater Councilors, and other interested parties are invited to attend and comment on the Bayfield Complex Public - Private Partnership Business Plan. The community based governance structure for operating the centre would be similar to the way other groups in the village operate their independent physical assets, for example, Bayfield Town Hall, Bayfield Lions' Municipal Building, Pioneer Park, Bayfield International Croquet Club's Courts, Bayfield Archives' building, Bayfield River Valley Trail Association trails and the Bayfield Agricultural Society grounds. The business plan is based on detailed financial, operating, marketing and sales components. "Our team is made up of individuals with a broad array of skills and experience in all these areas," said Steve Baker, who co-chaired the Business Plan Working Group, "We have virtually all the major volunteer agencies, interest groups and community centre users signed on as a broader advisory council." Sandy Scotchmer, the other co-chair of the working group, noted that, "We have visited a number of other community centres in Ontario, the most interesting of which is Belmore a small community of 200 people north of Wingham. Belmore has operated cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week381ssue480/tabid/901/Default.aspx 2/15 6/11/2019 Week 38 Issue 480 INFORMATION SESSION ON BEACH MANAGEMENT THIS SATURDAY Sept. 22 is an important date on the calendar for Bayfield area residents as they will have an opportunity to provide input on how their beach is managed.

VOLUNTEERS CLEAN WATERFRONT PHOTOS BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Organized by Blue Bayfield and supported by Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation, Bayfield River Valley Trail Association, Pioneer Park, Bayfield Beach Management, Love Your Greats and the Municipality of Bluewater this year's clean up attracted several enthusiastic cleaners. Bayfield's annual fall beach cleanup honoured the life of Brandon Lemieux. He spent much of his young life roaming the many Bayfield beaches, never returning without a pail of litter. He died Sept 16, 2016. In his honor a Beach Clean Up was held on the foggy morning of Sept. 15. Shop Bike Coffee Roasters served up some hot brew prior to the start to properly fuel the volunteers. While locals commonly call the beach adjacent to the pier "Bayfield Main" much of it is in fact owned by the Pioneer Park Association and properly named the Pier Beach. Due to abnormally high lake levels this year organizers were only able to clean the sections of the beach they could reach safely. They also cleaned Howard St, Pioneer Park, Pier to Marina, plus the Highway 21 ditches (west side) from top of hill to bridge and the ditches on the north side of the bridge on both sides. Anyone interested in staying afterwards can listen (and sing along!) during the regular Saturday morning practise that will follow at 10 a.m. Check out the Bayfield Ukulele Society Facebook page for more information or to contact the group. MUSHROOM WALK All are welcome to explore the world of mushrooms on a walk at Windmill Lake Wake and Eco Park on Sept. 23 along with members of the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA). The mushroom walk is a level one hike and will start at the Windmill Lake parking lot on Bayfield River Road at 2 p.m. Parking is available. The trail is mostly on level ground but there may be some wet and muddy areas. The hike will be led by mycologist Dr. Jen McDonald, who led the excellent Lambton Shores mushroom walk last year. The event will last approximately 1.5 hours. Hikers will likely see many common mushrooms and the focus will be on identification. George Ebers, 519 482-7512; and Peter Jeffers will be the hike leaders.

Volunteers worked their way up Long Hill Road searching for trash. The Bayfield Lions' Club members would like to let the public know that tickets for the Joe Brandon Memorial Trout Derby are now available at the following places: Nip & Tuck and Brandons Hardware in Bayfield, Goderich Bait & Tackle and Angling Sports in London.

(Submitted photos) A popular saying in the gardening world is that in the first-year plants sleep; the second year they creep; and the third year they leap. Anyone who has been watching the rain gardens at the end of Colina Street in Bayfield will have noticed that the plants have certainly been leaping this year. Rain gardens are gardens designed to capture water that runs off roofs, driveways, patios, and roads during storms. Native plants are the best choice for rain gardens as they have significantly longer roots than non-native species. It is the deep roots of these native plants, along with the soil of the rain garden, that help to filter oil, fertilizer and other pollutants from storm water runoff. Rain gardens are so much more than pretty flowers, soil and mulch. They are an important part of the village's storm water infrastructure. "As storm water travels towards the lake, it can pick up dirt, oil, fertilizer and bacteria," said Hope Brock, Healthy Watersheds technician with Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA). "By slowing storm water down, and capturing it in the gardens, we allow the plants and the soil to filter out sediment and pollutants before they reach the lake. The more we can hold back the water upstream, the less erosion happens downstream." Curious about the history and stories of life within the walls of the Huron Gaol? St. Joseph and Area Historical Society will present "Behind the Bars' with representatives from the Huron Historic Gaol in Goderich, tonight (Sept. 19) at St. Peter's Church Hall in St. Joseph.

This free event will begin at 7:30 p.m. and light refreshments will be served. All are welcome.

Kristyn Watterworth offers up a "Love Letter to Bayfield" as she has rinsed out her paint brush at Kryart for the last time and heads to New York City with a blank canvas ... best of luck my friend. - Melody It has been an incredible adventure running an art studio in Bayfield. It's hard to believe that 15 years ago I was just 19 years old and naive enough to start a studio/gallery in Bayfield from scratch. I still remember coming up with the idea, and while living on a farm, 2 hours away, I was hell bent on jumping in headfirst and spreading Melody Falconer -Ponder my baby wings and calling myself a business. I yearn for the days of that unhinged confidence. In just one week from the spawn of the idea to opening day, wild, fast and free, I threw up artwork on the walls, put up some lights, and placed a table and easel in the middle of the room, an open sign on the door, and there I was, ready for business. That first year was a whirlwind, turning strangers into friends and laying the foundation for the creative chaos to ensue. The first studio/gallery, it was all portraits, sunsets, and parents asking me to teach them and their kids. Each summer I would add more lessons to each week, and eventually every morning became overrun with kids. Then, while I was out at the Martha Ritz (now the Virtual High School) I was overcome by the idea of a new concept studio. While the waitress was taking my order, and serving me food, I thought how cool it would be if she was actually bringing me art supplies and I could sit there and be making art. This idea started becoming stronger and stronger and I thought, yes, build an art studio on the concept of a restaurant. People can come in as they please, order the style, size and color scheme and subject matter off of an art menu, then be given the entire set-up, helped through it, and have someone clean up after them. So, Kristyn watterworth in 2009, 1 opened the Art Barn. I had some wonderful help, painting the barn, putting in a pond and the gardens and turning a dusty red barn into a crazy art studio! Thank you to Helmut Becker, the Keightleys, my staff, Leanne Jamieson, Kyle Griffiths, my family, and the Wallaces, for first helping me get so much started. It's unbelievable watching how easily people will jump at the chance to paint now. Seeing people grasp the concept and start throwing color and joy around now is an absolute joy. It has been amazing to have the support of the community over the years. It would take me pages to thank everyone individually. Every single person that came through my studio to offer a smile and words of encouragement and especially the ones who took the time to create a painting or buy one or twenty, I am so grateful for you! Thank you to Bill Rowat for being so supportive and endlessly fixing the pedal pushers so people can ride around laughing their heads off. Thank you to all of the families who have made Kryart an annual event and those who came daily. I love hearing about all of the cottages being fully decorated in 111"x14" paintings from their kids attending the kids' morning sessions over the years. I am definitely going to miss being covered in paint form head to toe every day throughout the summer! Thank you to everyone at Pioneer Park for letting me do creative paint projects year after year. The debut one, before the cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week381ssue480/tabid/901/Default.aspx 13/15 6/11/2019 Week 38 Issue 480 1000s of sunset paintings, still makes me laugh every time I think of it. Every kid left completely covered in paint after slip and sliding down 25' feet of canvas. And then, just before sunset a giant rain storm rode in, and everyone at the park grabbed a part of the canvas and ran it a street over for cover in the Frezell's shed. Thank you to everyone for not yelling at me for ruining their children's clothes. The studio has been destroying outfits since 2004, my apologies. Great art never comes without consequence. I have always loved the freedom that the small town of Bayfield afforded the art studio. Thank you to everyone for making it easy to tromp kids around for camp, using the splash pad and beach, and letting us march down the streets advertising dance and art shows. And of course, for the freedom for a bookshop to have chickens as pets and turn them into little town mascots, dropping golden nuggets all over town, thanks Martha. Lots of love goes out to all of the restaurants in town, and special thanks goes to The Pink Flamingo, for the endless coffee and cupcakes to keep my staff and me going all summer. Thanks to all of the businesses and chamber for making the town a destination. And thank you to all of the people who have let me stay at their cottages and homes over the years. It was always a challenge to find seasonal housing, so thank you to the Poelmans, Tillmanns, Harretts and MacTaggerts for making that easier. The hospitality of the town will always be cherished, and I will miss everyone! And, of course, thank you to the Bakers for their support and to John, for letting me create the entire D2L art collection. I know that it is time to move on though, and I am starting a new chapter, jumping in to the New York City art scene and seeing what I can sink my teeth into over the next year. I am so pleased to have Faith Patrick, who has worked with me at Kryart for the last six summers continue on at the art barn. She has been making some of the necessary changes so that people can book their time for lessons and has modified the art menu. The modifications should make it a little easier for people to understand and get the time they need. And as long as the weather cooperates she will be open through the fall. Book your lesson time with her by emailing: faithpatrickstudio@gmail.com. For information, visit: www.kryart.com Lots of love to you all! And always take the chance to be creative! You owe it to yourself. Xoxo Kristyn Watterworth Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
