The picture that we see isn't necessarily the reality that exists." In 2004, Terry Boa-Youmatoff and a handful of members at Trinity Anglican Church started an offshoot of their Outreach Program called "Feed My Sheep". The early years of the project saw much instability and limited food availability but they persevered. Then in 2009, with the advent of the Huron County Food Bank Distribution Centre (HCFBDC), "Feed My Sheep" found its footing. Three years later, "Feed My Sheep" has grown into the Bayfield Food Bank. Boa-Youmatoff is the coordinator of this local food bank, capably assisted by Audrey Albiston. People may be shocked to learn that in a county where food is grown in such abundance that there is hunger.

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. From left, Reg Kutanski, Lorne James and Ken Forler take a break from construction while work bosses Bill Steenstra and Dave Gillians aren't looking. 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. CHARACTERS CREATED TO COMPLIMENT MAUDE'S STORY Jane Rowat as Nurse James. 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. Judy Keightley, Bayfield's own playwright, has created several characters to compliment Maude's story. One of them is Nurse James, played by Jane Rowat. As the story unfolds Nurse James has learned that she will be going home to Canada. She and her fellow nurses endured terrible conditions while they were posted in Salonika during WWI. They were under constant threat from enemy bombing as well as suffering from the miseries of disease and insect infestation. Their tale will be told in the production of "A Woman at War — The Maud Stirling Story". The play will run from May 24-27 at the Bayfield Town Hall.

PHOTO STORY CLOTHING LINE A REBIRTH FOR VINTAGE DENIM Joan Schilbe and Nora Dowler, both of Bayfield, have joined creative forces to create "Born Reborn" a clothing line made from recycled denim. PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER What can come from a love of second hand stores, mad sewing skills, and a stream of creativity running through your head 24 hours a day? Well, if you are Joan Schilbe and Nora Dowler, both of Bayfield, a rebirth designer style. The two good friends are preparing to officially launch their clothing line — "Born Reborn" - at 7 p.m. on May 18 at The Red Pump Gift Shop on Main Street in Bayfield. The collection made from recycled denim is 60 per cent jackets but they are slowly diversifying with skirts and pants. They also hope to incorporate some original clothing designs as they become more established. "Joan has the sewing skills of a magician," said Dowler, of her business partner. "We both have a stream of creativity running through our heads 24 cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek20lssuel49/tabid/560/Default.aspx 10/13 5/28/2019 MF Good friends, Joan Schilbe and Nora Dowler had talked for a couple of years about establishing a business together, an objective that was realized in January when they started work on their line of clothing, Born Reborn. Week 20 Issue 149 Every denim piece be it jacket, jean or skirt becomes a one -of -a -kind creation thanks to embellishments like beading, broaches, leather, lace or fur. The designers enjoy "hiding" empowering words on items in their collection. hours a day and I have discovered I have the patience for hand beading." The pair began creating their line in January after a couple years of talking about doing a project together. The catalyst may well have been a notions' store in the middle of New York City. "We visited the Mecca of notions' stores in New York this past winter. It was floor to ceiling beads, buttons, decals and ribbons — we spent the afternoon in it," recalled Dowler. And it is not just the denim that is being given a second life. The pair rips apart other vintage pieces to create their craft. "We're always on the look out for old fur coats to take a part, which isn't easy to do, and give the material new life. We'll also take lace, leather or suede from a piece and rework it into a jacket," said Dowler. "The pieces are very time intensive, they don't make the seams in jean jackets to be messed with and it takes a lot of time to open them up." Schilbe has been sewing since she was a girl and credits her mother, Vivian, for teaching her the craft. In fact, Mom has been called upon to help with the sewing of the line on occasion. Clothing deconstruction is something that really appeals to Schilbe; going to thrift stores, finding a piece and repurposing it is something she has always loved to do. Dowler, who has run a clothing store in the past, comes from a background in art. "We are both textile addicts but we both have very distinct and different styles," said Dowler. "I'm more conservative while Joan can really get out there; we meet in the middle with our designs." In addition to the sewn in embellishments, hand beading and hand painting are a big part of what makes "Born Reborn" unique. The women invite people to bring in old jackets or jeans that they would like to have repurposed and they will create something for them. They note they can't duplicate what they have already done as each piece is one -of -a -kind but they can work in a certain style or theme. The jackets, that are selling for $325, are currently exclusively at The Red Pump Gift Shop. "Store owner, Harry Israel was happy to have the line in his store, he said he missed having clothing in the shop," said Schilbe. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek20lssuel49/tabid/560/Default.aspx 11/13 5/28/2019 Week 20 Issue 149 "Born Reborn" will be officially launched on May 18 at The Red Pump Gift Shop at 7 p.m. and all in the community are invited to attend.

One I had the good fortune to marry. The other one is not a rock musician or even a movie star. He's a figure skater. I remember the first time I ever saw Kurt Browning skate in competition it was the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. He finished 8th but as the local boy, he was invited out for the televised gala skate. From that performance on I was forever smitten. I still remember the first time I got to watch him skate live — it was at the London Gardens during the Eaton's Skate the Nation Tour — May 12, 1994. When he came out to perform it was all I could do not to start crying. What can I say? He's my Beatle. At the time I didn't know if I'd ever get to see him skate live again so I drank in the performance. Fast -forward to this past Sunday, May 6, 2012, John Labatt Centre in London, Stars on Ice Tour. This date marked the 21st occasion on which I have seen him skate live. It never gets tired. A few years back I started treating myself to seats on the ice surface and this only heightens the experience of watching such a talented performer. There have been a few times when I have come close to having that oh so special "fan encounter" but for whatever reason the stars never properly aligned. That is until Sunday, when at the end of the show he skated up to me, squeezed my hand and thanked me for coming to the show. Okay, I know he says that to a lot of girls and I was just a face in the crowd but tell that to my knees! - Mclody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
