BY GREG STEWART
Although many may not realize it, the people of Bayfield and Bluewater are witnessing the end
of an era. Dr. Charles Wallace and Maggie Visscher will be retiring from the active practice of
medicine at the end of June. With that will end a medical career that has lasted close to 60
years and a medical partnership of close to 40 years.
Dr. Wallace graduated in medicine in 1955 in the United Kingdom. After a lengthy period in the
RCAF, he established a medical practice in Zurich and later in Bayfield. During that time, he
was instrumental in establishing the Bluewater Rest Home in Zurich. Maggie Visscher, who
completed her training as a Nurse Practitioner in 1976, joined the practice in 1975. Dr. Wallace
and Visscher, in practice together, have made an immense contribution to the health and well-
being of the people of Bayfield and Bluewater who have looked to them not only for medical
care but also for an advocate and a friend.
The careers of Dr. Wallace and Visscher should be remembered as being, at the same time,
both innovative and old-fashioned. Long before the modern Family Health Team, Dr. Wallace
saw the benefit of an approach to General Practice that combined the skills of the Physician
and the Nurse Practitioner. Starting in 1975, and continuing today, they have practiced as a
team offering their patients the skills and efficiency of treatment by both skilled professionals.
In doing this, they have contributed to the role of the Nurse Practitioner in a medical practice.
Along with this innovative approach to medicine, Dr. Wallace and Visscher have maintained the
traditions of hands-on diagnostics and an approach to care that is truly focused on the needs of
the patient. Long after it was common practice for doctors, Dr. Wallace and Visscher continued
to make house calls to patients who could not come to the office. In visiting the homes of the
frail and the elderly they frequently took care of their medical needs as well as their physical
needs by ensuring that the home was safe and comfortable and that the patient had sufficient
and appropriate food. In the same manner, they have continued the practice of regular care to
those in the nursing and rest homes, not only caring for their health but taking the time to listen
and to visit.
As they retire, Dr. Wallace and Visscher should know that they have touched many lives and
have truly made an immeasurable difference to so many.
The Zurich and District Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Thank You Reception in honor of
Dr. Charles Wallace on June 28 from 1:30-4 p.m. at the Bluewater Complex in Zurich. A
bed to lay the patio where benches will soon be
provided. Once that work is completed a berm will be
built and plant material selected. An artisan crafted
steel decorative screen has been commissioned from
Jim Wallace. This structure will provide the backdrop
for contributor recognition.

The FOBL invite people to follow the project's
progress when they stop in to pick up their mail at the
neighboring post office or when checking out the
nearby notice board.
BACP
It was announced on June 2 that the ice will be going
back into the Bayfield Arena in the fall of 2014 and
for at least two more years after that as Bluewater
Council voted unanimously to reverse their decision
made earlier this year to remove the ice permanently.
Yearly reviews will be conducted. The Bayfield Arena
Community Partners (BACP) formed when the
controversy first began in an effort to save the ice will
act as a liaison to promote the facility.
The BACP will hold their first meeting following this
big announcement on June 16 at 7 p.m. at St.
Andrew's United Church. Anyone interested in
becoming involved in the process is encouraged to
attend.

AUXILIARY MEMBERS HONORED
For many Bayfield residents Clinton Public Hospital (CPH) is their choice for healthcare and
therefore the work of the Auxiliary to CPH should be of interest.

"We have a fantastic variety of acclaimed Canadian authors this year," Brown said. "Their most
recent works include historical and contemporary fiction, young adult fantasy and non-fiction
with a definite Ontario focus. Two of these authors are currently on the bestsellers list."
Jennifer Robson first learned about the Great War from her father, acclaimed historian Stuart
Robson, and later served as an official guide at the Canadian National War Memorial at Vimy
Ridge, France. A former copy editor, she holds a doctorate degree in British economic and
social history from the University of Oxford. She lives in Toronto, ON with her husband and
young children.
"Somewhere in France" is her first novel. It tells the story of Lady Elizabeth Neville -Ashford
(Lily). She wants to travel the world, pursue a career, and marry for love. But in 1914, the
stifling restrictions of aristocratic British society and her mother's rigid expectations forbid Lilly
from following her heart. When war breaks out, the spirited young woman seizes her chance
for independence. Defying her parents, she moves to London and eventually becomes an
ambulance driver in the newly formed Women's Army Auxiliary Corps — an exciting and
treacherous job that takes her close to the Western Front.
Tickets for the Bayfield Writers' Festival are $15 and are available now at The Village
Bookshop, 24 Main Street North or by calling 519 565-5600.

WOODLAND TRAM A VISUAL TREAT
Can anyone identify this wildflower? Those people who hiked the Woodland Trail on June 8 were stumped and
wonder if Bayfield Breeze subscribers might have suggestions? (Photos by Jack Pal)
On June 8, a group of avid hikers set off to enjoy an afternoon stroll along the Woodland Trail.
It was a cloudy but warm afternoon. Perfect for photos!
The Woodland Trail is a 5 km hike starting at Clan Gregor Square, strolling past some of
Bayfield's local churches and village homes until hikers enter into the forest starting at the end
of Sarnia Street.
"Today was a lovely temperature for the walk and we were fortunate that the mosquitoes chose
to ignore us leaving us free to discover all the ravines, quarry roads, pastures, lumber roads
and deer trails covered with local flora and fauna," said Pat Baker, one of the hike leaders. "We
observed phlox, lady's slippers, a few remaining trilliums, lots of ferns, fungi, columbines,
irises, daisies, wild geraniums, wild strawberries, asters, raspberries, and even a gorgeous
flower that we were unable to identify. It has lovely wispy soft green foliage covered with yellow
blossoms similar to those of the Sweet Williams. However, only the immature plant has yellow
blooms. It would appear that as the plant matures its bloom color changes to pink/red. Any
ideas?

TREE PROJECT
Despite lots of rain in early spring, our area trees are
starting to get thirsty, especially those new trees
planted in the last three years as part of the Bayfield
Tree Project (BTP). Residents are encouraged to
water these trees.
New trees need anywhere from one to two and a half
inches of water per week to survive. A slow trickle of
water over several hours is the best method.
Trees planted by the BTP can be found on Louisa,
Anne, Charles, Howard, Colina, Dow, Delevan,
William, Chiniquy, Charles, Jane, Hamilton, Troy,
Ducharme, Tuyll, John and Euphemia Streets as well
as on Bayfield Terrace, Victoria Place, Keith Cresent
and the corners of Sarnia and Hwy. 21 and Mill Road.

The next First Friday's Artist Walk will coincide with
the launch of a new exhibit of original work by artist
Carolyn Hurd, of Zurich. On the evening of July 4,
"The Beauty of Bayfield" will showcase Hurd's
amazing ability to capture Bayfield scenes and
architecture with the stroke of a brush.
The event will be held at JMR Gallery starting at 6
p.m. Refreshments will be served and the artist will
be in attendance.
Limited Edition prints of several of the images will
also be available as well as a second series of "The
Black Dog" giclee print.
PIONEER PARK
Nothing says it's summer like the Annual Pioneer
Park Rummage Sale, now in its 67th year. All and
sundry will be available to purchase from sporting
gear for active folks to chairs to curl up in for those
who like to read. This year, the Silent Auction will
offer a new array of special and one -of -a -kind
products and experiences that people will absolutely
want to bid on.
The Pioneer Park Rummage Sale and Silent Auction
will be held on July 11 with doors opening to the
Bayfield Arena at 7 p.m.
The proceeds from this sale go, as they have for over
half a century, to keeping Pioneer Park clean, green
and open to view the best sunsets on the shore.
As folks open their cottages and sprint into spring-
cleaning, they are asked to please put aside all those
items that they think will be a treasure for someone
else at the rummage sale.

"Hiking in our own neighborhood is a wonderful
way to spend a couple of hours getting to know
some new acquaintances, renewing past
friendships, learning about other countries
(today we heard all about Costa Rica) and
enjoying the outdoors."
The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association
(BRVTA) has two hikes planned each month
during the summer and up until October on the
second Sunday afternoon and the fourth
Thursday morning. The next hike will be held on
Thursday, June 26 at 9 a.m. in the Naftel's
Creek Conservation Area.
Naftel's Creek, a trail loved by so many, leads
through mixed conifer plantations, hardwood
and wetland areas. It is a rewarding place to
spend time, a rich area to explore at any time of
the year, a relaxing walk, suitable for everyone
in the family. This is a Level 1 hike, a leisurely
pace and will take about an hour to complete.
Participants are asked to meet at the Naftel's
Creek Trail parking lot. Watch carefully for the entrance to the conservation area as it is not
obvious from the highway.
Week 24 Issue 258
The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA)
are offering guided hikes on local trails on the
second Sunday and third Thursday of each month
from now until October.
The Woodland Trail is the perfect place to photograph all kinds of burgeoning flora at this time of year.
The hike leaders will be Elise Feltrin, 519 565-5852 and Carol Powadiuk 519 565-4120.
Generally dogs on leash are welcome but it is always best to check with the hike leader. The
usual meeting site will be Clan Gregor Square unless specified otherwise and car-pooling will
be arranged from there. All hikers are reminded to wear proper shoes and bring water. It's a
good idea to wear long pants and take insect repellent along in case it is needed.
Anyone with questions concerning specific hikes or who would like to make suggestions, call
one of the hike leaders or contact the program coordinator, by email

BAYFWLD FOOD BANK
Since 2011, the Huron Backpacks for Kids Program
has been supporting families that cannot afford the
cost of school supplies and backpacks for their
children. Last year they were able to provide over
300 school -aged children with a backpack of supplies
for their first day of school.
Planning has begun for the 2014-15 school year.
Participating Huron County Food Banks, including
the Bayfield Food Bank (Feed My Sheep), will begin
taking registrations from families in June. Local
businesses and clubs will also be approached to
request support, either financially or through
donations of backpacks or supplies. Individuals are
also welcome to contribute to the cause. Income-tax
receipts will be issued for donations of $20 or more.
Financial donations are ideal, as this allows
organizers to purchase grade -appropriate items for
children that have registered. Donations will be
accepted until Aug. 8th.
In addition to the participating food banks and the
Huron County Food Bank Distribution Center, area
hospitals and the Huron County Health Unit are
participating in the Huron Backpacks for Kids
Program.

The Bayfield Calendar will once again be a joint
project of the Bayfield Lions' Club and the
Photography Club of Bayfield (PCoB). Last year's
2014 calendar was so successful that it was sold out
well before year's end. As a result, more calendars
will be made available this year starting with the
official launch on Aug. 16, coinciding with the
Bayfield Fall Fair.
The calendar committee is looking for more photos
from both PCoB members and members of the
public. People need not be a member of any
photography club in order to participate. Winning
photographers get the choice of a free membership

According to Joan Bailey, co-owner of Patina Studios, the inaugural First Friday's Art Walk,
held on the evening of June 6, drew local residents and visitors alike.
The idea behind this Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce initiative is that people can
enjoy an evening of art by walking the Main Street as artists showcase their work in a number
of locations. Each artist will have their own exhibition and will be available to talk to and explain
their art. Snacks and refreshments will be served and music will be offered as well.

First Friday's Art Walk.
One such exhibition was held at Patina Studios.

the visiting kids to try their hand at decorating pottery as well."

This week, another in the series on people at the Bayfield Post Office — does anyone
remember these folks in this picture taken outside of the "new' post office (the building was

Mary Jessop wrote in to say, "The man behind the
counter at the "new" post office is Postmaster Ernie
Hovey. The old post office was next to Hovey's
general store (where Main Street Optometric is
now). You could buy your groceries from Mr. Hovey
at the general store and then go next door and buy
stamps from Mr. Hovey, who went from store to post
office through an archway behind the counter. When
the new post office was built, Pat Graham took over
the general store."
Doug Darnbrough added, "I spent many hours as a
child listening to him hand cancel stamps for as long
as it took to cancel that day's mail, when the sound
stopped the usual crowd waiting in the post office
would take this as the cue to get in line and the
wicket would open and mail would be dispensed - no
regular hours - when the mail was cancelled the
wicket would open."

In last week's submissions I wrote about May Ann Colihan and how she lost her watch at the Howard Street beach on the
afternoon of June 1. It had great sentimental value as it was a gift from her husband 20 year ago.
Good news! The watch was found later that same day when a mother and daughter walking along the beach around Howard
and Glass Streets discovered it.
"We did the old fashion Bayfield thing to do and put notices up in the Town Crier and the notice board outside the post office
before we headed back to Toronto," said the mother.
Melody Falconer -Pounder She later discovered that someone had reported a watch missing in the Bayfield Breeze and a connection has been made via
email to facilitate the return of the watch.
