For tickets visit http://wvfw.ticketscene.ca/events/3369/ cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek9lssue86/tabid/490/Default.aspx 1/10 5/27/2019 Week 9 Issue 86 "C'mon Carol, don't be so bashful. Show us what you've got!" pleads husband Jerry McDonnell to his wife, Carol. Jerry and Carol are accomplished photographers who display their work at the Goderich Co-op Gallery as well as at many other locations in the region. In 2008 Carol had recently taken up painting, but was being a bit timid about first placing her work in the new April show at the Co-op Gallery, EXPOSURE '08 designed specifically for artists in the area who had never shown their work before. (Submitted photo) Members of the Goderich Co-op Gallery (GCG) are offering a repeat opportunity for closet and emerging artists to exhibit their original work in a prominent space. The event is "Exposure 11" and it will be held at the GCG during April. For the entire month, space will be set aside for the work of up-and-coming artists. This work, in any media, will be shown for the month and may be for sale, or not, as the creator wishes. An entry fee of $10 applies for each exhibitor for one piece of work with a $5 charge for each additional piece up to five pieces maximum. The GCG is committed to display as much work as space permits. Work will be accepted until the last week of March — at the GCG, 54 Courthouse Square, Goderich, where application forms can be picked up or check www.gcgallery.ca for details and a downloadable entry form. "Whether you have been painting for 30 years or just 2 months, your work will have its own distinctive character," said Madeleine Roske, one of the galleries founding members. "We are always eager to see the work of artists at all levels. So often beginning art has intense vitality and originality; it is well worth being exposed." For closet artists who have been hiding their work for many years, Roske re -assures, "Here's the chance to show your work in a safe environment." The GCG offers this opportunity to creators of original work only, in all media. This exhibition will be on display throughout April, Monday through Saturdays, 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Members of the public are invited to join all of the artists at a reception to open the show: Apr.2 from 2-4 p.m. at the GCG. For more information, please check the GCG website at www.gcgallery.ca. Colin James will headline at the hall on March 17 as part of his Up Close and personal: An Acoustic Tour with Special Guest Chris Caddell. Not surprisingly this concert has already sold out! On April 9, John K. Samson of the Weakerthans with special guest Andy McGuire will play the hall. Tickets are available now for $35. Hall doors will open at 8 p.m. with the show starting at 8:30 p.m. For tickets visit http://www.ticketscene.ca/events/3520/ FILM SOCIETY The Bayfield Film Society is taking a break for the month of February but will be starting a brand new film series on March 10 with the film, "Get Low".

HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETING One of Canada's true war heroes also left an indelible mark on the Village of Bayfield and the Bayfield Historical Society has the good fortune of having his son share stories and recollections of this man at the next society meeting to be held on Feb. 28. Gerry Smith, who has retired to Bayfield, will speak about his father, Brigadier Dr. Morgan Smith. The Brigadier also chose this village as his place of residence when he retired in 1964. When Brig. Dr. Smith and his wife, Edith, arrived in Bayfield they moved into the 'Metcalf House' beside Pioneer Park. He would later become one of the community leaders who helped change this village forever. His long list of military and medical achievements before he settled in Bayfield earned him the Order of the British Empire. He studied with Dr. Charles Best, one of the discoverers of insulin, while obtaining his M.A. at the University of Toronto. He survived the ill-fated Dieppe raid and landed at Normandy. He was the head of allied medical care during the Korean War. After his illustrious military career, he became the Chief Medical Officer for Western Canada. To learn more about this man's incredible career and the legacy he left in Bayfield plan to attend the historical society meeting on Feb. 28. The lecture will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Bayfield Lions' Community Building. CANINE SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT Dancefit and Toning classes continue on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9 a.m. The Sit and Get Fit Classes take place on Mondays and Wednesdays at 10:15 a.m. On Fridays at 10 a.m., April Hulley will teach a Stretching Class, participants are asked to bring a yoga mat.

In previous summers, the Archives Room has only been open Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. The expanded hours will accommodate the increasing interest by both residents and visitors in the displays, programs and publications at the Archives. The historic building itself has become a central tourist attraction during the summer months. To carry out this expanded summer service, the Historical Society will create a roster of volunteers to staff the Archives from early June to Labour Day. Volunteers would be expected to do the following: respond to questions from drop -ins, sell publications, plus complete some modest archival activities. Interested individuals, who can commit to one afternoon per week for the summer, are asked to contact Bill Rowat at 519 565-5838 or wjrowat@tcc.on.ca. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week9lssue86/tabid/490/Default.aspx 3/10 5/27/2019 Week 9 Issue 86 Havic, a Border Collie owned by Peter Westwood, can't wait for the snow to finally melt so he can begin some serious training for the upcoming Bayfield Purina Dog Walk on June 5. Westwood is chairing the walk held each year by the Bayfield Lions' Club to raise funds for Guide Dogs. It takes $25,000 to train just one dog so Havic encourages his fellow canines and their owners to start spreading the news about this worthwhile event! To learn more call Westwood at 519 565-4533.

We realized that probably no one will be able to identify the woman but the value of this image could not be discounted. The woman is walking on the hill that today can be found at the start of the Sawmill Trail. The logs for the original corduroy road are visible. It is an image that clearly demonstrates how important this road was to our early pioneers. BANJULD TOWN HALL HERITAGE SOCIETY TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE SAMPLED SELECTIONS OF SOUP Two hundred people came through the doors of the Bayfield Town Hall on the afternoon of Feb. 20 to take part in Soups On, Bayfield!

About 200 individuals took advantage of the Soups On, Bayfield event held at the town hall on the afternoon of Feb. 20 sampling a variety of culinary creations. The event was a fundraiser for the hall.

The large crowd voted with their stomachs and they determined the winners of the People's Choice Award to be: first, The Albion Hotel; second, The Little of Bayfield; and third, Knox Presbyterian Church, Wild Mushroom Soup inspired by Julia Child. Anyone worried about calorie counting also had the opportunity to exercise before indulging. Outside Projects offered snowshoeing on the Woodland Trail. Approx. 30 people took advantage of the opportunity. The proceeds of the snowshoe rentals were graciously donated to the Bayfield River Valley Trail Association. People could also lace up their skates and head over to the Bayfield Arena for some time on the ice, sadly the outdoor rink in Clan Gregor Square met its demise during last week's mild spell. Leslie Bella, created some ambience with her very talented clarinet playing. There were prizes to be won at Soups On, Bayfield! Louise Sygrove, of the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society, was in charge of tabulating the People's Choice Award ballots. Chef Richard Fitoussi had the enviable job of judging for the Chef's Award. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week9lssue86/tabid/490/Default.aspx 6/10 5/27/2019 Week 9 Issue 86 John Ferrington (right), of Burlington, accepts a sample of soup from Kate Lloyd -Rees, while Brittany Fry (centre) watches.

The GBBC is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds are across the continent. Anyone can participate, from beginning bird watchers to experts. According to the GBBC website, it takes as little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the event. It's free, fun, and easy—and it helps the birds. Now this sounds like something I could really get behind as I have developed something of a friendship with a little Black - capped Chickadee who chirps at me each time I walk by its territory on my regular walks around the country block – I will have to remember to sign up for next year. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek9lssue86/tabid/490/Default.aspx 9/10 5/27/2019 Week 9 Issue 86 People with Bayfield postal codes have been participating in the project and if you visit the link below you can see how the tally adds up. The top three at the time of this writing were the American Crow, Wild Turkey and the Snow Bunting.
