VICTORY PARADE TO REENACT
MARCH AROUND THE SQUARE
The 550 ceramic poppies that represent lives lost from the 161st Huron Battalion, as well as all other men and
women who died in the Great War from Huron County, are now on display in the Courthouse Square in
Goderich. They will keep vigil over the Victory Parade to be held on Saturday at 2 p.m. This parade will feature
historic re -enactors, a mass pipe and drum band, cadet corps and color guards. The parade will enter The
Square at Kingston Street and precede down East Street to the former train station just as the men of the
161st marched 100 years ago. (Photo by Bonnie Sitter)

GHOST WALK
As darkness falls on Saturday night, Oct. 8, a hidden,
darker side of Bayfield's past will emerge.
Over the decades, there have been many
unexplained events, cruel murders and strange
happenings in the village. Dave Gillians, the author of
'For the Love of Bayfield', on behalf of the Bayfield
River Flats fundraising campaign, will vividly describe
documented cases of sightings and unexplained
occurrences of real people who lived in Bayfield.
Some of the tales will chill the blood and the stories
will resonate in your mind, long after the lantern dims
at the end of the night.
The walk will begin at 7 p.m. near the gates of Clan
Gregor Square and should last about one -and -a -half
hours. Donations in support of the Bayfield River
Flats Natural Area will be appreciated. For those of
you who have already contributed, please wear your
badges, t -shirts or carry your tote bag to show
everyone you are a proud supporter!

The 161st Battalion of Huron County began their journey to the battlefields of France on .,promo
Thanksgiving weekend of 1916. Two special events will mark the 100th Anniversary on
Saturday, Oct. 8. The first event is a Victory Parade that will be a partial re-enactment of the
final march around Goderich Square and down East Street to the former train station that the
161st made one hundred years ago.
The Victory Parade begins at 2 p.m. and features historic re -enactors, mass pipe and drum
band, cadet corps and color guards. The parade will enter The Square at Kingston Street and
precede down East Street to the former train station.
Historic re -enactors from The Great War Society will run drills prior to the parade at the Huron
County Museum, 110 North Street, Goderich starting at 11 a.m. The public is invited to visit the
military gallery at the museum and the new Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) monument.
Following the parade, The Royal Canadian Legion, Goderich Branch 109 will host a 161st
Battalion Descendants Dinner. The Legion will be serving a meal that follows the menu from
the original dinner that was served to members of the Battalion on Thanksgiving weekend in
1916. There will be displays about the First World War and the 161 st Battalion.
A cocktail hour and social time will begin at 5:30 p.m. with dinner set for 6:30 p.m. followed by
guest speaker, David Yates and period musical entertainment by Seaforth Harmony Kings and
"thatotherchoir".
Tickets are $35 each and can be purchased through the Blyth Festival Box Office at 519 523-
9300. Everyone is welcome to attend the dinner.
The parade and dinner are part of a series of events taking place this fall to commemorate the
100th Anniversary of the deployment of the 161st Battalion and Huron County's role in the First
World War. The Government of Canada, County of Huron, Town of Goderich and Huron Arts
and Heritage Network provided support to a committee made up of local heritage organizations
to develop these events. For more information on the events and the 161 st Battalion visit

WEBSITE SHARES STORIES ABOUT THE
MEN OF THE 161ST
As the county celebrates the 100th anniversary of the creation and deployment of the 161st
Huron Battalion comprised of men from the county who saw action in World War I people may
begin to wonder about the soldiers themselves. There is a place to go on the internet where
their curiosity can be sated, where they can learn more about these young men who paraded
around The Square headed down East Street and marched off into history one hundred years
ago this Thanksgiving weekend.
The http://huronl6lst.com website project began when Jodi Jerome, historian, and Tim
Wellstead, owner of Condor Fine Books in Kincardine) and the Book Barn in Wingham,
discovered an unpublished manuscript about the 161st Huron Battalion but couldn't find the
manuscript's author, Sandy MacDonald, despite some promising leads.
MacDonald's work was created from his research and interviews with 161 st veterans and their
families in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He copied his manuscript and gave it to certain
veterans and subscribers to his 161st newsletter. According to the two historians, both
MacDonald and copies of his newsletter have been impossible to track down.
Unwilling to leave MacDonald's work moldering in the dark, Jerome and Wellstead took up his
effort to write the story of the 161 st Huron Battalion. This battalion was comprised of Huron
County men recruited in 1916 and transported to England together. They started over three
years ago in their spare time and began verifying MacDonald's research, accessing military
records not easily accessible to him in the 1980s and adding to the history. Their goal was to
create a day-by-day diary of the 161st Huron Battalion and meet the men who made it a unit.
They choose to begin with a website that, unlike a book, could be added to and expanded as
new information came to light, a living history.
They launched their website on Dec. 2, 2015 - 100 years to the day that the Battalion was
born. They will continue the 100 -year journey until the Battalion closes (early in 2018).
Bayfield River Flats t -shirts or tote bags are offered to
donors who contribute $250 or more at Main Street
Optometric in the village. Campaign sponsors who
donate $1,000 or more, will be publicly recognized
with a permanent plaque installed on the 'Flats'
property.
Donors from all over the world, can contribute to this
campaign through a "crowd funding" program on the
website www.BayfieldRiverFlats.ca but to control
costs, no t -shirts, tote bags or badges will be mailed.
This event is sponsored by the Bayfield River Valley
Trail Association.
The Bayfield Farmers' Market is holding its last
market of the season on Friday, Oct. 7.
The market is held in Clan Gregor Square from 3-7
p. M.
The Market enjoyed a very successful year, thanks to
excellent weather and a growing base of regular
customers who appreciate top quality local products.
This year's goals included increasing involvement of
community groups and to find ways to "green" the
market. Market coordinator Mary Brown is very
pleased with the progress made on both fronts.
Highlights of the season included the launch of the
2017 Bayfield Lions' calendar, promotion of the
Bayfield River Flats Project, the sale of eye-catching
Bayfield Farmers' Market bags, and the introduction
of free tap water for market customers. The weekly
draw continued to be very popular, with winners
taking home a bountiful selection of products
donated by the vendors.
The 2017 season will open on Victoria Day weekend

RATEPAYERS' NEEDS TO STAY VIABLE
TO PROTECT VILLAGE INTERESTS
BY KEN LARONE
Bayfield Ratepayers' Association (BRA) was asked to help focus on the future of the village
and with the help of other community organizations develop a 10 year -plan that will protect its
special public appeal during a period of municipal challenges.
Bayfield Councilor Bill Whetstone shared several serious challenges facing Bluewater Council
that will impact on Bayfield. He told residents attending the meeting of Councilor's Corner in
the community hall on Sept. 29 that the tax dollars for Bluewater will be in short supply in the
future. The impact could push too much, too fast on Bayfield.
"Our village setting is the number one appeal of the community," he said. "We don't want to
become as big as Goderich or Stratford."

TED
Histories that never made it to the page are taking the stage on Oct. 15 at the Livery Theatre,
Goderich as part of Unharvested Histories, a night of live performance and film showcasing
diverse, unheard perspectives on the past.
Over the course of one unforgettable evening, University of Michigan Professor Henry
Greenspan will perform theatre based on his decades of interviews with holocaust survivors,
historical interpreter Colleen Maguire will give an interactive performance as nineteenth-
century Huron Jail matron Margaret Dickson, Metis scholar Jesse Thistle will present a film
created with collaborator Martha Stiegman examining the personal impact of the erasure of
Indigenous stories, and 'The Ladies of the CNR' led by Kelly McIntosh, Baptiste Neis and
Stacy Smith will bring the working women of World War Two era Stratford to life.
The co-founders of 'Staging Our Histories', the non-profit group producing the event, met as
graduate students at Carleton University and hosted an inaugural night of performances in May
2015 at Ottawa's National Arts Centre. Since then Staging Our Histories has continued to
share history off the page across Canada and throughout the world, with a recent event in
Bangalore, India. Unharvested Histories is a partnership with the Huron Arts and Heritage
Network and is partially supported by the Huron Heritage Fund.
Performers were selected from an open call for unheard histories earlier this year, and will
participate in interactive talkbacks with the audience.
Staging Our Histories co-director Arpita Bajpeyi said, "We're thrilled to be joined by returning
artists and new local talent as we enter our second year. With our open call for performances, it
was a priority for us to engage with the local community. We wanted to feature voices telling
stories from Huron County, and the range of experiences they embody."
Co-director Sinead Cox is looking forward to hosting Unharvested Histories in her hometown of
Goderich.
Cox said, "Every show with Staging Our Histories becomes a once-in-a-lifetime experience;
you won't necessarily see these artists sharing the same stage again. Unharvested Histories
achieves a lovely balance of providing a platform for local artists and giving the community a
chance to see incredible visiting performers without having to leave Huron County."
Unharvested Histories tickets are on sale now at the Huron County Museum (110 North St.,
Goderich) or online at www.staginghistories.eventbrite.ca. Doors open at 7p.m. on Oct. 15th at
the Livery Theatre and Unharvested Histories take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Find out more about

HURON TOURISM
DISSOLVES
On Sept. 28 it was announced that Huron Tourism
Association (HTA) has voted to dissolve after 23
years of service.
Given the HTA's decision to dissolve, the County of
Huron would like to thank their members for their
past efforts. The HTA has performed an important
function over the years and its contributions to the
tourism sector are appreciated.
Over the last two years, the County of Huron and
area municipalities have developed a robust and
coordinated approach to economic development. The
Huron County Economic Development Strategy
focuses on seven key industry sectors. Within this
strategy, tourism has been enhanced to include arts
and culture.
Much has changed in the way that communities and
businesses promote themselves in recent years and
it is anticipated that these changes will only
accelerate. The Huron County Department of
Economic Development, working with the Huron
County Economic Development Board and industry
stakeholders, are now looking at an integrated
Tourism, Arts and Cultural approach. The intent is to
focus on the unique benefits and attributes of the
county and to have engaged participants from the
private sector assisting with the development and
implementation of key priorities.
Huron County offered to work through a transition
with HTA that would have seen greater coordination
in areas that are consistent with a dramatically
changing tourism environment focused on key county
and community advantages, increased use of digital
analytics and marketing, and specific linking of
innovative approaches to measurable outcomes.
Huron County respects HTA's decision and remains
committed to working with the industry, communities
and partners towards their strategic objectives.
VALDY IN CONCERT
The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society invites

Healthy Watersheds Supervisor, Mari Veliz, at Ausable Bayfield Conservation, is shown at a local wetland to
showcase some of the projects that local participating landowners are doing on their properties through the
Healthy Headwaters Wetlands Initiative. This wetlands program is soon entering its tenth year of offering
financial incentives and technical support for landowners who are helping to create, restore and enhance
needed local wetlands. The program is inviting other landowners to consider projects on their properties.
(Submitted photo)
Only about two per cent of Ausable and Bayfield river watersheds are wetlands. Staff members
with the Healthy Headwaters Wetlands Initiative work with participating landowners to restore
these habitats. The Healthy Headwaters program offers technical advice and financial
incentives for people who want to create, enhance, or restore wetlands on their property in
Huron, Middlesex, and Lambton counties.
Healthy Headwaters is entering its tenth year in 2017. Since 2008, local landowners have
completed more than 60 wetland projects through the program.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the landowners who have protected natural
areas and completed stewardship projects in the past," said Angela Van Niekerk, Wetland
Specialist with Ausable Bayfield Conservation. "Landowners have restored almost 240 acres of
local wetlands through their efforts since this program began in 2008."
In addition to the wetlands, local landowners have also planted more than 255,000 trees,
shrubs and plants into wet areas and watercourse buffers.
"We often find that landowners have an area of their property where water collects," said Van
Niekerk. "That could be an ideal place for a wetland."
Wetlands are areas of land that are wet for all or a portion of the year. Wetlands tend to have
soils that drain poorly. They also have water -loving plants such as Sedges, Rushes, Blue Flag
Iris, White Turtlehead, and Red Cardinal flowers.
Wetlands provide water quality and water quantity benefits. They help to absorb, store and
filter water when there is too much water during a storm or flood event. They also help to
release needed water when there are times of low water or drought. Wetlands also provide
habitat for birds, frogs, deer, and waterfowl.
Healthy Headwaters also offers chances for local community members to learn about the
benefits of wetlands and their role in nature's ecosystem. Staff members thank all the
landowners and funding partners who have supported Healthy Headwaters over the past nine
years and invite other landowners to join this important work.
"Autumn is a great time of year to start planning a project," said Van Niekerk. "We are happy to
help with any questions you may have."

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
St. George's Anglican Church in Goderich is an
historic and impressive building. It will be apart of the
guest speakers' topic at the next Bayfield Historical
Society (BHS) meeting to be held at Bayfield Lions'
Community Building on Oct. 24.
The parish and its records date back to 1835, and its
first minister, Rev. Robert Francis Campbell later
served at Trinity Anglican Church in Bayfield from
1849-60. The present St. George's building is
celebrating the 135th anniversary of its dedication. To
celebrate this occasion, Eleanor Smith a former long-
time Bayfield -area resident and Trinity Anglican
parishioner has published a book commemorating
the 43 people honored in its 26 stained glass
windows. The oldest window pre -dates the existing
church building and the newest was installed in 1964.
She will be presenting a power point program to the
BHS, starting at 7:30 p.m., in which she will tell the
stories about some of the people to whom the
windows were dedicated. The stories are of tragedy
and heroism, of victory and defeat.
HARVEST DINNER
The Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA)
will be holding their second annual Fall Harvest
Dinner and Dance on Oct. 15th at Renegades Diner,
Bayfield.
Tickets are $35 and the evening starts with a
Reception and Silent Auction at 6 p.m. with dinner at

The fourth annual Bayfield Fall Foto Fest (FFF), a joint production of the Photography Club of
Bayfield and Photo Tour Trekkers, was held on the weekend of Oct. 1-2 Registrations this year
were up by almost 50 per cent over 2015.
Participants in the eight workshops held at a number of locations throughout the village and
beyond were able to gain hands-on learning in numerous aspects of photography in small -
group settings: a hallmark feature of FFF.
"This year we added a special new workshop: Raptors and Birds of Prey which was very
popular," said Jack Pal, FFF organizing committee member. "How often do you get a chance to
see these beautiful birds up close and get to photograph them in flight!"
As well, the organizing committee added a bonus free Saturday evening workshop: Night
Photography. The overwhelming interest in this workshop made it necessary to break it up into
six sections to keep groups to a maximum of 15 participants each so as not to compromise the
individual learning experience.
Rounding out the workshops were: Macrophotography, Studio and Portrait Lighting, Adobe
Elements, Adobe Photoshop, Digital Video editing, Photography 101 and a very popular
Windmill Lake workshop.
"This was the first year we were almost completely sold out in all workshops," said James
Cowie, committee chair and owner of Photo Tour Trekkers, the event's sponsor. "Participants
came from as far away as Ottawa, Kingston and Michigan and made FFF their weekend
destination."
Over thirty of the participants have come all four years which is a great testament to the quality
of the event.
Also new this year was the participation of twenty students from H.B. Beal Secondary School in
London. Their participation has sparked interest within additional schools throughout the region.
"In response to this new interest, we will be adding an extra 'student day' to the program next
year on the Friday preceding the FFF weekend," said Cowie. "This fits in well with our vision of
developing and spreading the intergenerational reach and appeal of photography. There are
also plans to add a Master Class to the event next year to attract the more advanced
photographer."
A Wine and Cheese event closed out each of the two days.
"A big thank you again to all our sponsors who helped make this event special," said Pal.
"Please mark Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, 2017 in your calendar for the fifth annual Bayfield Fall Foto
Fest. It's a must for anyone interested in improving their photography."
Water droplets were a popular subject at the Macro Photography: Close-up Photography hands-on workshop,
exhibition from the H.B. Beal Secondary School
students who attended FFF.
The three categories were: Landscapes, Wildlife
and People.
All submissions were on display to the general
public and all registrants free of charge at the
Bayfield Town Hall during the entire Fall Foto Fest
weekend. Visitors were also given an opportunity
to assist in the judging by voting for the Ashwood
People's Choice Award: a weekend for two at The
Ashwood Inn. The winner was Zhugang Zheng
with his entry titled, "Eye Window of the Soul".
All winners were announced at the closing Wine
and Cheese reception on Sunday, Oct. 2.
According to many of the FFF participants, the
overall quality of the photos was outstanding.
The Grand Prize donated by the event sponsor
Photo Tour Trekkers, is a trip to Amsterdam in
2017 with Photo Tour Trekkers. The winner was
Gina Robertson, of Lambton College, with her
haunting photo of a white wolf in winter titled, "The
last Alpha Male".
First Prize winners who earned $200 in each of the
categories were:
Landscape: David Huffman — "Erieau Sunset"
People: Lynn Wilbur — "Exhausted"
Wildlife: Suzanne Southon — "Grizzly Bears on
Rainy Day Crossing"
Two Honourable Mention prizes, gift packages
from local area merchants, were awarded in each
category along with two prizes for the 18 and
under category. For a complete list of winners and
their winning photos go to:

Organizers would like to pass on their
congratulations to the winners and send out a
special thanks to everyone that participated in the
contest and to the prize sponsors.
Photographers are encouraged to submit photos to
next year's event. There is no requirement to
register for FFF in order to participate.

Our Advertising Representative Mike Dixon is out pounding the pavement checking in with returning advertisers and hoping to
enlist a few new ones too. It takes more than the time and enthusiasm of our merry little band to put out an issue every week. It
takes money — albeit we do our best to be frugal. There are costs to send out our weekly emails, costs for domaine services
and costs to host the wonderful myriad of pictures that make our publication rather unique, I think.
Anyone is welcome to support the Bayfield Breeze financially — advertising is just one way — donations to the cause are always
gratefully accepted. If you would like to advertise or know someone who should be please send me an email. And thanks so
much for reading. — Melody
