(Photo by Dennis Pal) more on Flicker The Bayfield Fire Department was called out shortly after 10:20 p.m. on July 7 to a fire at the rear of 8 Main Street North in Bayfield. According to Bayfield Fire Chief, Ian Siertsema, "The quick response by the public in both calling 911 and the use of fire extinguishers helped to minimize the damage that may have further involved this historic structure." The fire was quickly extinguished. Due to the unexplained nature of the call, OPP and in turn the Ontario Fire Marshal (OFM) were requested to attend the scene. Investigations by both the Bayfield Fire Department and the OFM have listed the cause as undetermined at this time. And, of course, Pole Walking remains a popular part of many fitness regimes. If you are an early bird the Tuesday 8 a.m. sessions of Pole Walking may be perfect for you. There is also a Pole Walking session held on Thursdays at 3:30 p.m. All groups depart from 6 Main Street.

DESIGNS AND CONSTRUCTS NEW LIONS' SIGN Due in large part to the dedicated efforts of a club member, the Bayfield Lions' Club has an exquisite new sign designating the Bayfield Lions Community Building at 6 Municipal Road in the village. Club member, Bob Merriman, designed and constructed the new sign. The project was funded by the Bayfield Lions' Club. It took Merriman more than a year and several hundred hours to make. The sign is made of specialist materials, from the lumber, to paint, epoxy resins and real gold leaf; all the lettering is hand carved, and the total weight of the sign, including the support legs, is close to 500 The sign was installed using equipment supplied by Bill Steenstra, also a member of the Bayfield Lions' Club. This was the first sign of its type that Merriman has made. He would like to thank Pete Payne, of Willow Lake Signs and Designs, for the advice he gave during various stages of construction. According to his fellow Lions', Merriman has a natural artistic ability to produce various things and enjoys doing so in retirement. During his working career, he was in the military police for six years, followed by two years with the Toronto police and finally more than 32 years with London Police Services in London. ON.

BEST TO KEEP DOGS ON LEASH WHEN USING WOODLAND TRAIL Bo and Brigitte are a pair of Baudet Du Poitou donkeys that guard the horses at the farm of Pepi Van Biesbruick on David Street near which the Woodland Trail passes. (Submitted photo) Individuals who take their dogs for a walk on the Woodland Trail are reminded by the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association that their pets should be kept on a leash, especially when walking near Pepi Van Biesbruick's farm on David Street. Van Biesbruick's rare and valuable Baudet Du Poitou donkeys are bred to guard her horses from wolves and coyotes. They are very protective and there is concern that they will attack uncontrolled dogs which they see as a threat to their herd. These powerful donkeys which originated in France are special. There are less than 500 purebreds in the world. PIXILATED IMAGE OF THE WEEK To learn more please call local CHAP Coordinator, Kelly Webster, at 519-236-4373 ex 632.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Around mid-day on July 10 members of the Bayfield Optimist Club held their annual Play Day extravaganza. Held on the lawn beside the Bayfield Fire Hall, it was a day filled with good old-fashioned fun for children. Magician Daniel Steep, of Clinton, delighted the audience with his magic show and then wowed the crowd with his balloon creations. Jennifer Black, of Goderich, had the youngsters lined up for an opportunity to have their faces painted. Plus there were games and races also on the docket. All this frivolity definitely worked up some appetites — more than 10 dozen hotdogs were served up hot from the barbecue. Weston Rathwell, 3, and his grandmother Deb, both of Varna watched in wonder as Daniel Steep twisted and turned a balloon into something extra special. Daniel Steep made a tree with bananas and a monkey climbing, all out of balloons for Weston Rathwell, 3, of Varna, who came to Play Day with his grandmother, Deb Rathwell. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week291ssue54/tabid/457/Default.aspx 9/12 5/27/2019 Week 29 Issue 54 Kathy Bidelman and her daughter, Morgan, 4, both of Brantford, were amused by the stilts used in one of the races.

I went to the Pioneer Park 63rd Annual Rummage Sale shortly after the doors opened on July 9 so I wouldn't have to stand in line. My mind was on capturing the iconic event in pictures not on the bargains to be had for there were plenty of folks present to grab up the deals. I climbed the steps in the corner of the arena to get a good look at the crowd — the definition of a sea of humanity became clear, I was looking at one; the crowd moved in waves across the arena floor. It was truly a sight to behold. Melody Falconer -Pounder And then very early the next morning there was the Firemen's Breakfast, a long line of people could be seen at the fire hall, they made their way down the drive and out onto the street — but the wait for the hearty meal was sure to be worth it. Too bad I didn't have time to eat; I was expected at the Bayfield Volunteer Fair where I set up a booth for Bayfield Guiding. I had a brief opportunity to talk to some of the representatives of the other volunteer organizations that represent our tiny village so well, before I was off again. I had to check out the Bayfield Optimist Club's Play Day for children and the Vettefest in Clan Gregor Square too. And, of course, as people with tourist related businesses can attest there was plenty of work waiting when I got home. It's a darn good thing the days are longer in the summer or we'd never be able to fit it all in. - Melody wwx.l o ko h uno n c}wYaIQ� om 519-524-7195 Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
