The theme for the upcoming calendar is "Bayfield through the Four Seasons" and although the PCoB already has a good selection, they are looking for more. If you, or your friends or family, have a digital photograph(s) that you would like to be considered for inclusion, you are encouraged to submit to the dedicated site at http://flickr.com/groups/bayfield- calendar-2013. Alternatively, you can email your photographs to either Gary Lloyd -Rees cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Weekl9lssuel48/tabid/559/Default.aspx 1/11 5/28/2019 Week 19 Issue 148 Friday, Apr. 27 was a big day for mail delivery in the village. All mail from the central postbox location on Main Street was moved to these temporary boxes situated behind the Bayfield Arena and Community Centre. According to Tom Creech with Delivery Operations Communications for Canada Post in London, ON, eight community mailbox sites with a total of 304 compartments have been established. They will be the mode of delivery for customers until the new postal box centre/library is completed. Creech stated that the timeframe given to Canada Post for the completion of this project was about a year.

Sally The Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce's Sail and Canvas Festival will celebrate its 10th anniversary on the weekend of June 16-17. To celebrate this milestone the Sail and Canvas Committee is looking for some talented new artists to take to the streets and for the first time digital artists will be added to the mix. They are also looking for unique street performers or groups who would be interested in busking over the course of the weekend. Potential buskers should contact Mary Ann Rowat at 519 482-8180 or e-mail maryannrowat@hotmail.com with a short bio and a website address (if one is available). Artists, artisans and digital artists who would like to participate should email a short bio and website address to info@villageofbayfield.com. If potential participants do not have a website they should email seven to 10 jpeg images of their work instead. Please put Sail and Canvas Application in the subject line. The deadline to apply is May 15. A committee will determine an artist's acceptance in the festival. Artists not affiliated with a Bayfield art gallery must pay a $30 registration fee. This fee confirms their participation in the festival, help advertise the weekend, ensures artists have a volunteer to watch over their set-up during breaks, an artist reception and coffee from the Bayfield cafes. Artists are responsible for their own set-up. This involves a tent or umbrella structure, a way to hang work, a table, a chair and working materials. On Saturday, set-up would begin at 9 a.m. with artists working from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. An artist reception would follow at 5:30 p.m. On Sunday, artists are expected to work from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Art may be the primary focus of the weekend but that isn't all that is going on. The Sail and Canvas Festival is currently scheduled to include a book sale, carriage rides, a barbecue, nail (g.11oydrees@gmail.com) or Jack Pal Qackandpat@tcc.on.ca). The cut-off for submissions is May 17th. The final selection of photographs will be made by the end of May, with a special event being planned to launch the calendar shortly thereafter. Be sure to check the Bayfield Breeze for more details regarding the calendar launch in the coming weeks.

Shoppers can help purchase trees for the village simply by placing the pennies from their change in the bucket. Anyone interested in placing a donation bucket in their establishment should contact the number listed above.

This spring in communities across the country Guiding members will take part in 70 tree planting and habitat restoration projects. The Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers who comprise Bayfield Guiding are among the participants. Their project proposal, "Guides Need Shade" earned them a $500 grant. Four trees will be planted with these funds. Weather permitting they will be planted on Jane Street in the village at 5:15 p.m. on May 4. All are welcome to come out and support the girls as they officially dig in to help make their community a greener space. The GGC Tree Planting Program was established in 2008.

Their presentation will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Bayfield Town Hall followed by an 8 p.m. presentation of the film, "The Way". The movie has been described as a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends, and the challenges people face while navigating this ever- changing and complicated world. Martin Sheen plays Tom, an American doctor, who comes to St. Jean Pied de Port in France to collect the remains of his adult son (played by Emilio Estevez), killed in the Pyrenees in a storm while walking The Way of Saint James. Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. The Way of St. James is the pilgrimage to the cathedral, where legend has it that the remains of the apostle, Saint James the Great, are buried. St. James' Way has existed for over 1,000 years. It was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times. It is believed that his remains were carried by boat from Jerusalem to northern Spain where they were buried on the site of what is now the city of Santiago de Compostela. There is no single route; the Way can take one of any number of pilgrimage routes to the cathedral including through Portugal, Spain, England, France and Switzerland. The distances vary widely from a couple of hundred kilometers to over a thousand kilometers. During the Middle Ages, the route was highly traveled. However, the Black Plague, the Protestant Reformation and political unrest in 16th -century Europe resulted in its decline. By the 1980s, only a few pilgrims arrived in Santiago annually. However, since then, the route has attracted a growing number of modern-day pilgrims from around the globe. WWI NURSE AND BAYFIELD NATIVE TOPIC OF NEW PLAY Bayfield's own "Aunt Maud" had another identity. Before she settled into the role of the quiet woman who resided with her sister at the corner of Victoria Place and Ann Street, she had been a courageous nursing sister during WWI. Maud Stirling was a heroine. She was so brave that when the Zeppelins were hovering overhead and the bombs were falling, she stayed staunchly with her patients. Maud actually risked her own life by refusing to go to shelter because she did not want to desert the wounded boys who were unable to walk to safety. All this happened in Salonika where she was posted. She and her fellow nurses suffered tremendously in dreadful conditions. She was awarded the Royal Red Cross for performing exceptional acts of bravery and devotion at her post of duty during the war. Soon her story will be told. Judith Keightley, Bayfield's own playwright, has written the story of Maud's wartime achievements in the new play, "A Woman at War — The Maud Stirling Story". FILM SOCIETY Another exciting series of Toronto Film Circuit films brought to you by the Bayfield Film Society at the Bayfield Town Hall have begun. The films will be shown on the second Thursdays of the month at 7:30 pm. Those without a subscription can still attend as a limited number of tickets can be purchased at the door for $10 per film.

Now I can add the Human Body to my list — or at least the parts devoted to childbirth. And I had one of the best nights sleeps I have ever had at a Guiding event. This past weekend I went with members of Bayfield and Clinton Guiding to take part in a Girl Guides of Canada Sleepover at the Ontario Science Centre. It was a tremendous weekend and we were assigned the Human Body exhibit space in which to set up our sleeping bags. Melody Falconer -Pounder When I surveyed the room to ensure I knew where all my girls had set up camp before lights out I discovered three of my charges crammed into a very small space. I suggested they move to the next section where there was plenty of carpeted flooring. I was told they couldn't possibly sleep there because it was between the bowel and the heart exhibit and they weren't sleeping under "poop" were more comfortable sleeping snuggly in the blood section. They Really if Guiding has taught me anything it is not to sweat the small stuff — not sure if there was a perspiration display but their reasoning sure tickled my funny bone! - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
