Members of Bayfield Guiding toured the School on Wheels in Sloman Park in Clinton at the end of May. They
had an opportunity to experience what attending school in the car would be like with the help of Museum
Curator Carolyn Brophy. The School Car will celebrate its 100th birthday on July 26 with free tours being
offered. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder)
When is a birthday party more than a birthday party? When it's highlighting a centenary event.
2014 marks the 100th year of one of the most interesting museum structures in Ontario. And a
celebratory bash is planned for the School on Wheels in Clinton.
Constructed in 1914 and initially utilized for a brief period as a mobile hospital, and then as a
colonist car transporting settlers to Western Canada, this vintage rail car eventually served as
classroom and residence for its dedicated teacher, Clinton native Fred Sloman, who taught the
children of the remote Northern Ontario bush for nearly 40 years. Fred and his family—wife
Cela, a former teacher, and their five children—lived and traveled in the residence/classroom
for ten months of each year. The Sloman children were, of course, "home schooled" by their
gifted parents.
Join School on Wheels Museum staff, volunteers, and local dignitaries on July 26 from 11 a.m.
to 3 p.m. and enjoy all the free activities at the School on Wheels site located in Sloman Park,
on Victoria Terrace (off Hwy 4) in Clinton.
Central Huron Mayor Jim Ginn will welcome those present at 11:30 a.m. The day will include:
School on Wheels guided tours, a model railway display, games, bubble centre, scavenger
hunt, face painting, Thomas the Tank toys, refreshments and of course, birthday cake!
Entertainment will include a short historic play based on a true event that occurred on the
school car in the late 1930s. The play was written by Ian Rutherford of Bayfield. Greg Stewart
and Leanne Kavanagh, also of Bayfield, will join Rutherford in the cast. Robyn Hunt of Clinton
will play Margaret Sloman. The play will be performed right after the opening ceremonies at
11:30 a.m.
Then at 1 p.m. pianist Steve Lane, from the Sarnia area, will perform music from Broadway,
movies and television and with his encyclopedic knowledge of movie trivia will share many
fascinating facts about cinematic music. His performance will evolve into a Musical Trivial
Pursuit Contest with prizes being awarded to those audience members that can provide the
correct answers to the questions he asks about the music he plays.
Plan to attend this celebration commemorating a unique piece of educational and provincial
history. Further information is available by calling 519 565-2723 or at www.schoolcar.ca.

Antique Fair and Sale. It was, and remains, a
fundraiser for Trinity Anglican Church in Bayfield.
In 2014, the show will be held at the Bayfield Arena,
Aug. 8-10.
The dealers love the show and bring beautiful
antiques and collectibles, big and small, to suit every
taste and pocketbook. The arena will be filled with an
impressive array of quality antiques and collectibles
such as Canadiana, furniture, books, porcelain,
silver, estate and costume jewelry and antique toys.
The Gala Evening Opening Celebration is set for
Friday from 7-9 p.m. This evening will include
refreshments and live entertainment. Guests can
meet the vendors, chat, browse, and buy a unique
item for their collection. Tickets are $10 in advance
and $12 at the door. Tickets are available now from
church members and also Friday afternoons at the
Bayfield Farmers' Market.
The show will then run Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. During these times
the church runs a cafe offering sandwiches, tea,
coffee and delicious homemade sweets – so visitors
never have to worry about going hungry while
shopping. Admission for Saturday and Sunday is $5

ANGEL VOICE CHOIR
MP Ben Lobb and Mayor Bill Dowson will welcome
the Angel Voice Choir from Beijing, China when they
enjoy a picnic lunch held in their honor at Pioneer
Park on July 25.
Following the picnic, the Chinese children's choir
comprised of youth aged eight to 12 years will take a
tour around the village taking in the sites at the
Bayfield Harbour and a stroll through the Bayfield
Farmers' Market to enjoy some farm fresh treats.
Rumor has it they might even share a song with
those who happen by the market at 3 p.m.
"The children will have adults with them plus people
who will interpret, about 40 in all. We are showing
them rural Ontario and will be explaining Lake Huron
and the Great Lakes and the many crops that are
grown here as we travel to and from Bayfield," said
Bonnie Sitter, one of the organizers of the day trip.

appreciation for his lifetime of compassion and care in Bluewater. Margaret Visscher, his Nurse Practitioner for
40 years, was also honored. Their families and his former staff were able to attend to honor him. The
Organizing Committee would like to thank all who helped make this event a success either by volunteering,
through financial or in kind donations or by simply attending to show Dr. Wallace, Moira and Maggie their
appreciation of their service to the community over the years. His patients and their families will long
remember the professional help they gave during his time of practice in Zurich, Hensall and Bayfield. The
community wishes them good health in their retirement and hope that they get a chance to do those things
that they could not do while they were working. For a full list of sponsors, donors and contributors please click

SERVICE NEW ADDITION TO FAIR
This year's Bayfield Community Fair will include a new event on Sunday morning - an outdoor
community church service.
Plans are currently underway for this special worship gathering that will take place in
Agriculture Park on Aug. 17 at 10:30 a.m. This "Harvest" themed service will see local
congregations coming together in a spirit of cooperation and unity. Organizers from Knox
Presbyterian Church, St. Andrew's United, Trinity Anglican , St. James', Middleton and the
Church on the Way have been meeting to make plans and are excited for the opportunity to
work together and get to know one another better.
Visitors, guests, families and volunteers at the Fair will be welcome at this wonderful occasion
of coming together across denominational lines to pause and express our gratitude for the
bounty that surrounds us. The service will include local guest speaker Jean Bennett who will
share stories about her work with the Canada Foodgrains Bank and a special offering will be
taken in support of this project. Volunteers from each church will participate in different roles to
assist with the service. A choir formed for the occasion will provide special music.
Beginning this week, choir rehearsals will take place at 8 p.m. on Thursday evenings at St.
Andrew's United Church from July 24 to Aug. 14. Anyone who likes to sing is invited to come
join the choir on these nights to learn the anthem for the service.
The service will also include special activities for children. It will take place under the fairground
tent and those attending are invited to bring their own lawn chairs.

PIONEER PARK
Pioneer Park is a great place to be in the summer
months and it isn't always about the sunsets either.
Some great things happen after sunrise too, like
yoga for example. Every Tuesday and Thursday
morning starting at 8:30 a.m. a free yoga session will
be held during July and August.
And there is even more fun after dark. July 26th is
the date set for the popular "Star Gazing" put on by
the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, London
Centre. According to the experts the moon will not
be making an appearance that night so the stars will
take centre stage.
But of course those sunsets won't be ignored and
some musical acts are currently being lined up to
serenade them on weekends. Stay tuned...
HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Barbara Brown and Joyce Lambert, both of Bayfield,
are embarking on a new project on behalf of the
Bayfield Historical Society (BHS). The pair is in the
process of creating a small coffee table book that
reflects the village's "unique spirit" through artistic
and written images across the decades.
And both Brown and Lambert feel that there are
probably many Bayfield themed poems and pieces
of art out there, perhaps tucked away in a trunk in
the family cottage or even hanging on a wall in
someone's living room.
"We would like to challenge people in the community
to look around their homes and cottages to find
these hidden treasures of art and written pieces that
capture the spirit of Bayfield to share them with us,"
said Lambert.
People are invited to bring a good quality photo or a
good copy of their treasures to the Bayfield Archives
from 1-4 p.m. on the next long weekend Saturday of
the summer — Aug. 2. They should also include
related information as well as the name of the author
or artist and the year the work was created. This will
be the final opportunity for people to submit their
items.
"The work has to be about Bayfield but the artist or
author does not have be from Bayfield," said Brown.

Brian Garnet, of Let the Flames Begin, will be joining Devin Tabor, of Bon Vivant Catering, to
tantalize the taste buds of those attending the Bayfield Rib and Music Festival on Aug. 15.
Judges are all in place to crown one restaurant with the honors of preparing the best ribs in
Bayfield. The judging will be in the arena this year just inside the doors. All are invited to come
watch the four judges sample a portion of each entry as they award points on taste,
presentation and tenderness.
The opening this year will take place in the arena with the smell of ribs wafting through the
open doors and to the sounds of music from the Music Fest. In keeping with the theme, "The
Cows are at the Gate in Our 1-5-8" organizers are currently rounding up bovine statues to
decorate the area around the main gates for the opening ceremony. Anyone who has a cow
made from any variety of material such as cement or cloth that they would be willing to lend for
the night should contact 519 482-9296 to make arrangements.
And in the equestrian department - Liz Elliott is bringing a pony on the Sunday of the fair for the
younger folks to paint. The pony loves the attention and does not mind bright bold colors. One
can only imagine what it will look like by the end of the afternoon.
The three-day fair should have lots of entertainment for everyone. Friday will feature the Ribs
and Music Fest. Saturday is a full day of competition of all sorts. Sunday is Family Day where
everyone can relax a little. Set aside Aug. 15-17 and make the Bayfield Community Fair a
family tradition.

"RUNA", a headlining group direct from the Goderich Celtic Festival will appear at the Bayfield
Town Hall on Aug. 4.
RUNA draws on the diverse musical backgrounds of its band members and offers a
contemporary and refreshing approach to traditional and more recently composed Celtic
material. Through their repertoire of both highly energetic and graceful, acoustic melodies,
along with their fusion of music from Ireland, Scotland, Canada, and the United States, this
vocal and instrumental ensemble gives its arrangements of traditional songs and tunes a fresh
sound.
The group was recently recognized on an international level at the Irish Music Awards for 2013,
winning Top Group (US, IRE, EU, UK).
Goderich fiddler, Kieran Melady, a popular Goderich fiddler, will be the opening act.
The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available now for $20 by calling 519 565-2572 or

"We are delighted to receive images and copies of
treasures for consideration but we can not guarantee
all of them will be used in the book due to space
constraints," said Brown.
Anyone who is unable to attend on the final
collection Saturday is welcome to email Brown at
bdbrown@tcc.on.ca or Lambert at
lambertjoyce@gmail.com to make alternate
arrangements to share their potential contribution.
BACK PACK PROGRAM
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), are
currently taking registrations from families who wish
to receive backpacks.
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.
For more information about the Bayfield Food Bank's
involvement with the program or to make a donation

Olga Palmer, 519 565-2903; or Terry Boa-Youmatoff,

The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA)
offers guided hikes and welcomes everyone to take
part whether new to hiking, unfamiliar with the trails
or hiking veterans who just like to socialize.
On July 24 the trail of choice will be the Woodland
Trail. It is the first natural environment trail created
by the BRVTA. Regular hikers declare it "a superb
hike". The steep sections have stairs to allow safety
for humans and the surrounding environment.
Participants should enjoy the scenic beauty and
serenity of the ravines, old pastures and glacial hills

On July 13th, neighbors and friends of hosts and singers Anna and Gary Relyea were treated
to "The Second Annual Lakeside Evening of Song" concert at Northwood Beach Resort Park
(NWB) north of Bayfield. It was a super entertaining, one-hour plus, performance of songs from
opera, musical theatre, cabaret, jazz, pop and country and western — a varied cross-over of
vocal genres.
Returning singers from the first concert held in July of 2013 were Gary's sister, Deanna Relyea,
mezzo soprano; Don McManus, bass; Kim McNeil, soprano and Ilya Serebrianik, tenor. This
year Deanna's husband, Piotr Michalowski, added instrumentals and Jim Wright, bass, joined
Don McManus and Gary Relyea for "The Three Basses".

and accomplished jazz vocalist and Elton Lammie, who has had a major entertainment career.
He is an exotic hybrid of Roy Orbison and Luciano Pavarotti and a great country and western
guitarist thrown in.
The Relyeas want to thank their music -loving neighbors at NWB Park for lending their many
hands and hearts, backyards and even acting talents to make the event possible. They ever
helped in "chasing the rain away" for the entire day until 40 minutes into dessert and coffee!
as they hike along old gravel quarry roads, lumber
paths and deer trails. Those who wish to take part
should meet on the North side of Clan Gregor
Square. Anyone with children may want to car-pool
from there to the beginning of the trail.
This is a level 2 hike and should take about an hour
and a half.
The hike leaders will be Dave Gillians, 519 565-
5884; Elise Feltrin, 519 565- 5852; and Roberta
Stemp 519 565-2777.
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 thyra.knudsen@gmail.com or phone 519 606-
0016.

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 as well.

Bayfield has been home to a Country Flea Market for
several decades. In more recent years, it has found
a new home in Agriculture Park; a home that offers
plenty of parking as well as some green space for
children to run carefree.
The Bayfield Agricultural Society provides this home
for the market that is open on Sundays from 7 a.m.
to 2 p.m. (maybe a little longer depending on the
crowds). There are all kinds of unique items for sale
such as antiques, furniture, books, tools, and sports
collectibles. The market is also a good spot to pick
up fresh produce and plants.

BAYFIELD TOWN HALL HERITAGE SOCIETY
BICYCLE OPERA PROJECT MEMBERS CYCLE AND SING THEIR
WAY THROUGH TOWN
Dirt roads are no problem for these avid cyclists! Members of the Bicycle Opera Project, Larissa Koniuk,
Stephanie Tritchew and Chelsea Shanoff were photographed cycling along Sugarbush Road.
The community bike ride is a favorite aspect of a visit from the Bicycle Opera Project. On Sunday morning,
Tyler Hessel (left) led about 30 people on two -wheels along Bayfield Terrace. He was joined in the lead position
by Tristan Durie, flautist with the Bicycle Opera (left).
PHOTOS BY GARY LLOYD-REES
About 30 people turned out on the morning of July
20 to join the seven members of the Bicycle Opera
on the second "annual" community bike ride, led
once again by Tyler Hessel. Although the morning
started off a bit wet and drizzly, it cleared up just in
time for the ride.
Hessel pointed out various points of historical
interest around the town, as well as showing how
new buildings in the village, like the Virtual High
School, that have been designed with the historical
integrity of the village in mind. He also commented
that next year the bike ride should be expanded to
include some of the surrounding countryside and
take in places like Bayfield Berry Farm and the
new Windmill Lake.
The bike ride ended in Clan Gregor Square with an
impromptu musical "taster" of the evening's
concert. This generated even more interest for the
event.
The concert was sold -out. With a new program of
works from young Canadian composers and a
stellar cast of singers and musicians, the group
thrilled the audience with both comedic and
sorrowful vignettes.
One piece was specifically written for the Bicycle
Opera ("Bianchi: A Five Minute Bicycle Opera" -
Libretto and music by Tobin Stokes). This hilarious
performance included many cycling puns.
Stage Director, Liza Balkan, attended the concert.
It was the first time she had seen the production
since rehearsals. Not only was she the stage
director, she was also wrote the libretto for one of
the pieces, "What Rhymes with Azimuth", music by
Ivan Barbotin.
Organizers note that Bayfield has become a
favorite venue for the Bicycle Opera players and it
is hoped that even as their fame grows they will
keep returning to the village for many years to
come.

Our nephew was married on the evening of July 18. Weddings are a time to indulge in
sweet memories. As we waited for the service to start I went back in time for a
moment and I could visualize our six year-old ring bearer standing smartly in his tux at
the top of the aisle as the groom took up his position and waited for his beautiful bride
to join him.
The ceremony and reception was held in the heart of Toronto's historic distillery
district. Surrounded by Victorian industrial architecture and under the well-preserved
Melody Falconer -Ponder stacks from its era as a whiskey -making factory, the young couple pledged their troth.
If the sun could beam down rays of happiness it did on this day. As they exchanged
their vows the bride wiped away a tear from her groom's cheek. While above their heads on a narrow window
ledge two little sparrows sat to watch. A modern day fairy tale sprung to life ... the birds were tweeting and so were
the guests!
Congratulations Matthew and welcome to the clan Lindsay. - Melody
