CCRC announces first four courses, registration open The heat from down under The Brussels Optimist Ball Park played host to the Australian National Fastball Team, which was taking on a ‘Select’ fastball team from the Huron County Fastball League last Wednesday night in a double-header. The Australian team proved they were ready for the upcoming International Softball Federation men’s championship in Saskatoon starting June 26 by beating their competition in both friendly games. The team is coached by Laing Harrow who grew up with Brussels resident Paul Sebastian in Milverton. The team was billeting in Milverton until the championship and Sebastian set up the games to show the calibre of softball available in the world. The Aussies won both games by scores of 12-0 and 6-1. (Denny Scott photo) Earlier this month Peter Smith, Project Director of Blyth Arts & Cultural Initiative 14/19 Inc. announced four pilot programs being offered through the Canadian Centre for Rural Creativity. “We have some extremely skilled people who want to share their talent,” said Smith. “Learn new skills or hone existing ones. This promises to be a lot of fun,” he said. The first is photography, taught by Heather Morton, Art Buyer/Photographer/Educator at Sheridan’s celebrated photography school for students 12 - 19 years of age. Photography has long been a useful tool for self-definition, empowerment, reflection and communication. During the workshops students will be charged with telling their own stories through a series of photographic challenges from multiple genres. They will be inspired by the work of other photographers and of their peers, who are working on similar themes. Plus, they will learn how to use blogging platforms to share their work farther afield. The workshop will culminate in a show to celebrate their efforts and to share their work with the general public. Two, one-week sessions are being offered: Introductory Course for $125 – July 6-10 and Advanced $150 - July 13-17. Students require a smartphone and a camera that has some manual functionality. Classes are limited to 10 students so sign up early at the 14/19 website. The second is fashion arts taught by Designer/Educator Jennifer Triemstra-Johnston, who will be leading a Fashion Arts and Textile Studio. Learn the basics of applying paint to fabric, create polymer bead and chain bracelets, draft and manipulate patterns for your own personal fashion designs and discover the art of silk painting. Learn all about sustainable fashion and develop business skills that will assist with you marketing your own small craft or creative business. Over two weeks in July, two to three courses are scheduled each day. Weekly, daily and individual class rates are available, with some courses created specifically for youth. A full printable calendar is available on the website. The third course is photo- journalism. In early September, students over 16 years of age will explore photo-journalism, led by local award-winning journalist Denny Scott. Photography techniques that employ images in order to tell a news story include taking great action shots. Students will be enjoying the local Huron Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association’s annual reunion through the eyes of a photographer this September. The fourth is documentary filmmaking. Throughout the summer, five documentary filmmakers are working with Faux Pop Media’s Randall Lobb and Mark Hussey exploring traditional music in Huron County. In 2015, this project is developed through a partnership with Huron Arts & Heritage Network, Huron County Cultural Services, Imagine South Huron and the Blyth Festival. Registration is open now. E-mail karen@blyth1419.ca or call 519-441-7629 to register students today. Continued from page 6 that society consists of many different roles and no one is perfect. Ergo, fathers and mothers can only strive to do their best when rearing children. Being present and caring set the best examples for their children while training and loving them. Parents can turn to the guidelines offered by God in the Bible. His words guide parents and children through life. Terry ended his message by reading “When I Was”. These thoughts about dad by a son changed as the son grew up. During next Sunday’s service, June 28, Londesborough United will hold a covenanting service for Rev. Fletcher. Lunch and a time of fellowship will follow the service. This will be the last Sunday service until August. The Londesborough congregation will be on holidays during the month of July. The Ball’s Cemetery Decoration Service will be held on Sunday, July 5 at 2 p.m. Rev. Fletcher will be the speaker and the Harbouraires of Goderich will provide special music.
