(Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER A red -winged black bird sits perched a top a lofty branch in a cluster of trees at the side of the highway. His call echoes across the nearby pasture but the sound is soon vanquished by the urgent swish of a car as it rushes by. The bird flies away only to return a few minutes later and the scenario is repeated. So it has been for decades at this spot along Hwy. 21. Five Osage Orange trees have stood stoically watching over motorists as they go about their day-to-day, no one ever really seemed to take notice of these trees, until they were branded with a familiar orange X; the sign of impending progress. It was then that villagers, members of the Bayfield Tree Inventory and Renewal Committee as well as the Bayfield Horticultural Society in particular, took notice. They called the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) to find out what could be done to save these trees from being cut down to make way for the upcoming road improvements scheduled between Bayfield and St. Joseph's. And the MTO listened. The trees which fall within the clear zone for the road project have been given a stay; the bright orange Xs have been painted black and their future is now under review. To the passerby these five Osage Orange trees may seem of little significance to the overall landscape but they are unique to the area. According to Michael Mahaffey, who retired to the Bayfield area after working for the Forestry Program with the City of Kitchener, "They are not a rare or endangered tree but they are a very unusual find in this area." The cluster of trees fall within a I ne irees are native io ine ueniral Unaea Jiaies, mosey clean zone for the upcoming road prevalent in the Red River drainage area of Oklahoma. They project.

(Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) The Osage Orange was popular with President Franklin D. Roosevelt who used the tree as part of the Great Plains Forest Shelter -belt Project established in the mid -1930s. "People fussed over them a little because their fruit was so unusual," said Mahaffey. The trees will flower in June and once fully established for the season their leaves are long, slender and drooping. A globe like fruit three to five inches in diameter will appear in clusters on the female trees in autumn. and Marty Maidment; 3rd place, a $200 gift certificate to Walmart, donated by Brian Coombs- Remax.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER "Body Garnish — the Figure as this Year's Canvas" was the title of the Luncheon and Fashion Show held on May 9 at the Bayfield Town Hall. Kryart Studio really took the theme to heart having area artists transform the skin of models into a canvas of color. A gasp of delight rose from the 60 strong crowd when the first painted model took to the stage. Several local businesses showed off their spring and summer fashion collections; something to suit everyone's taste was on display. There were even fashions for four legged companions as Woof N' Stuff, a store new to Main Street, brought canine models to show off their inventory. The lunch was provided by the Bayfield Berry Farm and the coffee was supplied by This N' That. The 1st Bayfield Pathfinders served the lunch.

That is what happened at our house on Monday, the spinner on the washing machine decided to take a vacation, the phone line went dead for a while, we lost the use of our portable phone and the lawn mower developed a stubborn streak. My solution was to get a pedicure and leave the repairs to the experts. Well, I jest... although I did get a pedicure but its scheduling was purely coincidental. These inconveniences happen and while they are stressful it is necessary to remind yourself that there is always someone in a worse situation than you. I think I learned this sense of adaptability watching my Dad on the farm ... every day his chosen lifestyle brought with it challenges and adversity. Take these scenarios for instance: • your cow breaks out of the orchard and heads straight for the neighbor's bull, • the front wheel of your tractor gets stuck in a ground hog hole upsetting a load of freshly baled hay; • the other tractor you use to rescue the first one with becomes hopelessly stuck • and the big doors on the back of the barn literally blow off in a storm and land a crumpled pile of wood in the nearby pasture And my Dad, whose temper did flare on occasion, for the most part took it in stride, knuckled down and got the job done. He'd even laugh about it once in a while. Puts the whole lawn mower issue into perspective doesn't it? - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
