Week 32 Issue 161
More than 40 members of the Bayfield Historical Society enjoyed a tour of Trick's
historic water -powered Grist Mill on the evening of July 23.
On the evening of July 23, more than 40 people attended the Bayfield Historical Society's
(BHS) meeting that took the form of a field trip to see one of the areas true historical treasures,
Trick's water -powered Grist Mill, located between Bayfield and Clinton.
The meeting was hosted by three generations of Trick's: Bill, and his wife, Thea; their son Tom
and his wife, Cheryl -Lynn; and their three children.
The mill is situated on Trick's Creek, the mill pond and dam as well as the three storey building
with a top floor lookout create a tranquil and picturesque setting.
Bill Trick shared the history of the Grist Mill with
society members. Here, he is shown standing beside
the Govenor Machine.
The meeting was held on the main floor of the
Grist Mill. Host Bill Trick recounted the history
of his family and the mills. The property was
purchased by a Trick in 1873 and has been
owned by a Trick ever since. Two mills were
operational on the property, the Grist Mill and
a Saw Mill, record books for both these mills
are still in family hands.
Bill explained that in horse and buggy days
the only way through the swamp between
Bayfield and Clinton was on the road to the
mills and over the mill dam. The original saw
mill was an "up and down" type saw, which
years back was sold to some museum people;
the mill now resides at the Ford Museum in
the US.
Once the need for the Grist Mill passed the Trick's turned the mill into a power plant. For
several generations now they have been capable of generating their own electricity. The
current power plant was installed in 2001 and with the right conditions is capable of running
24/7 and covering all of their power requirements. However, this year Bill says, the water levels
are "the lowest I have ever seen in my lifetime". So without the strength of the water going over
the dam they have been forced to only run the mill about half of the time they normally do.
Fortunately they have a back up system. A propane -fuelled generator is able to fill in when the
mill is not operating - meaning the Trick's truly are living "off the grid".
Folks are encouraged to come out and cheer on the
participants, even just come for a coffee and to say
hello to some familiar faces. For more information
contact Ann Laudenbach at 519 565-2733.
TOWN HALL
The Goderich Celtic Roots Festival and the Bayfield
Town Hall are teaming up to bring traditional and
contemporary music to the village in the form of a
three piece Celtic Band from the United Kingdom on
Aug. 6.
Now in its fourth year, the Rural Roots Concert
Series is designed to bring world-class Celtic music
into rural venues across Huron County. According to
the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival website, this
allows festival organizers to
"maximize the benefit of the caliber of musicians
visiting Huron County during the week of the Celtic
Roots Festival."
The band, known as Cupola, will perform in both
music and song. In addition, Goderich youth, Kieran
Melady will perform as opening act.

Eunson and Oli Matthews. They play English and
European dance music, and sing English songs in

ANTIQUE
SHOW NEEDS
SOME
VOLUNTEERS
Week 32 Issue 161
Today the mill is used as a "Power Plant" so that the Trick family
can live "off the grid". However, they do have a spare set of Grist
Mill grinding stones on hand.
The Bayfield Antique Show and Sale is now 27 years young!
In 1985, the event was first organized as the Bayfield Antique Fair and Sale. It was, and
remains, a fundraiser for Trinity Anglican Church in Bayfield.
In 2012, the show will be held at the Bayfield Arena, Aug. 10-12.
Organizers note that the dealers love the show and bring beautiful antiques and collectibles,
big and small, to suit every taste and pocketbook. The arena will be filled with an impressive
array of quality antiques and collectibles including: Canadiana furniture, books, porcelain,
ironstone, silver, estate and costume jewelry and antique toys.
The Gala Evening Opening Celebration is set for Friday from 7-9 p.m. This evening includes
refreshments as well as entertainment. Guests can meet the vendors, chat, browse, and buy a
unique item for their collection. Tickets are $10 in advance until Aug. 9 at 5 p.m. and $12 at the
door.
The show will then run Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. During these
times the church runs a cafe offering sandwiches, tea, coffee and delicious homemade sweets
— so visitors never have to worry about going hungry while shopping. Admission for Saturday
and Sunday is $5 per person.
Organizers of the show need assistance from the community to make it a success. Several
strong, young or able-bodied people are needed to help off load the dealers' vehicles for their
booth set up on the morning of Aug. 10.
Young people, or those with a strong set of legs, are needed to act as runners behind the
scenes at the show's cafe. Help is needed for both Saturday and Sunday mornings and
afternoons and shifts could be organized.
Youth helpers would qualify for community service hours for school. For more information or to
volunteer contact Joan Cluff at 519 565-2974.
STORY ILLUSTRATED THROUGH HAND
HOOKED RUGS
Newfoundland inspired art is coming to the Bayfield Town Hall. On Aug. 19th, Port Albert artist,
Kaaren Batten will show her 20 -piece collection of Hand Hooked Rugs that depicts the life of a
Newfoundlander named "Emily".
AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY
At the last meeting of the Bayfield Agricultural
Society there was confidence that almost everything
is in place for putting on the 156th Bayfield Fall Fair
on Aug. 17-19.
The Baby Show will return this year after its inaugural
presentation in 2011. It was well attended with even a
set of twins making an appearance. Anyone wishing
to enter the Baby Show should email
mysterymingler@hotmail.com. Every baby entered
will be a winner and by entering the community can
be introduced to its newest members.
Food is always a fun part of the fair. This year a
chicken barbecue will be held on the Saturday
evening the perfect chance to relax after a busy day
at the fair. On the Sunday morning a breakfast will be
served. This should be an excellent way to meet with
neighbors, visitors, and family.
Anyone wishing to volunteer at the fair could phone
519-482-9296. Extra hands are always welcome.
The next meeting for the Society is Aug. 1 at 7:30
p.m. at St. Andrew's United Church. Door prizes will
be available to some of the lucky people attending.
TALENT SEARCH
Talented area youth who want to share their skills
with the world are invited to start local by signing up
for the "Rise 2 Fame" Talent Search.
On Aug. 17, the Bayfield Fall Fair will once more host
the Youth Talent Search for Junior Talent ages six to
12 and for Youth ages 13-21. Winners go on to
perform at the Western Fair — a 31 -year tradition that
has touched the lives of thousands of talented
youngsters from across the province. The Western
Fair Youth Talent Search, along with the
preliminaries, has been the start to many careers,
and the new "Rise 2 Fame" moniker reflects that.
Several other changes have been made to the
program, including a preliminary video contest. But
the centerpiece of the program, the Youth Talent
Search that gives kids a chance to perform in front of
a live audience, remains essentially the same.
Bayfield's preliminary contest takes place upstairs in
the Bayfield Community Centre at 7 p.m. Those
individuals in the Junior Division will perform first.
Check-in will be held from 6-6:45 p.m. This ensures
that all registration documents are complete and that
music can be lined up for the show.
Registration can be done online and emailed to
dbieman@tcc.on.ca or by calling Charlie Kalbfleisch
at 519 565-2244 before Aug. 3rd. Be sure to read the

Week 32 Issue 161
"Emily" is a published lyrical story written in verse
and song by Newfoundland resident Denise
Batten. It tells the story of Emily, Denise's
maternal grandmother, who was born in coastal
Newfoundland in 1900. The book uses photos of
Kaaren's rugs to illustrate the story.
The 20 hand hooked rugs are made from recycled
wool garments. Color and texture provide
dimension and a painterly touch. Adding to the
story, wool from old fisherman's pants from Nova
Scotia, clothing from family members and friends
was used. This medium was appropriate to depict
Emily as most women of the time hooking rugs for
utilitarian reasons, keeping winter drafts away
from doors and floors. These "stories from the
floor" reveal the important role of family members,
including children, sharing secrets and stories
along the shoreline of coastal towns.
The collection was first shown in St John's, NL in June at the book launch. The complete rug
collection and the book will be on public display at a reception in Bayfield on Aug. 19 at the
historic Bayfield Town Hall from 2-4 p.m.
Denise and Kaaren have been invited to attend and display both the book and rugs at "Word
on the Street" in Halifax in September. In addition, they will be featured on CTV A.M. along with
a display of the rugs. Creative Book Publishing, of St John's, NL, is the book's publisher.
CAMP FOCUS ON ART AND THE
OUTDOORS EQUALS EXTREME FUN
Safety is a main focus during the camp and the counselors covered everything from balance on a skateboard)
to bicycle hand signals. (Submitted photos)
Visitors to Outside Projects this past week would have noticed a lot of youthful exuberance
around and about the store at 6 Main Street North as it was one of the locations for the first
week of Extreme Art and Adventure Camp organized by both Outside Projects and Kryart
Studio.
Participants had a chance to design their own personal brand, which they then painted on a
skateboard, hat, and t -shirt. Kristyn Watterworth, of Kryart Studio, led the art portion of the
camp and, much of the painting and drawing was done at the studio on 24 Main Street North.
When they weren't exercising their creativity they were getting exercise. The campers were
kept busy in the great outdoors - hiking, trail riding, learning tricks on their bikes and
skateboards and even playing spontaneous games of soccer.

compete in the national championship held in

The village skateboard park on the Bayfield
Agricultural Society grounds was a well used spot
during the camp. The maintenance of the area is
sponsored by the Bayfield Optimist Club.
Week 32 Issue 161
The campers were kept busy in the great outdoors - hiking and trail riding.
Organizers note that the camp is a favorite of both boys and girls because it gives then a
chance to build skills they might not otherwise have a chance to learn. Safety is a main focus
during the camp and the counselors cover everything from balance on a skateboard to bicycle
hand signals. Plus they always stress to campers the importance of taking things at their own
pace and only doing tricks they feel that they can do safely.
At the end of a successful week, the campers each left with their own individually decorated skateboards, hats
and t -shirts, as well as a canvas painting of their favorite memory from the week.

"MAD HATS AND MERMAIDS"
SUBJECTS OF SCULPTURAL EXHIIBIT
"Mad Hats and Mermaids" is the title of the upcoming
exhibit created by artist, Diane Black, to be shown at
Marten Arts Gallery on Main Street. The show will run
from Aug. 3-23.
Black, a resident of Westport, ON, began her fine arts
training in London, ON. She then went on to graduate
from Sheridan College's Illustration program, majoring
in Book Illustration. Here she embraced her love of
character development and the creation of visual
narratives. She enjoyed a career in illustration and
design for many years.
Black believes that interaction with others is integral to
survival and this communication is even more poignant
when it happens on a non-verbal level - with facial and
body expressions.
"The beauty and subtlety of these interactions are
amazing and the stories they tell are captivating. To be
a part of that process is seductive but to be able to
invent opportunities for such interactions is humbling,"
she said in a press release.
Over time Black began to realize an appreciation for

has been developing her blacksmithing skills and is incorporating hand forged ironwork as well
as other mixed media into her figurative sculptures.
Dianne Black incorporates hand forged ironwork as
well as other mixed media into her figurative
sculptures.
"The human figure provides a never-ending
source of inspiration and fascination. My
sculptures are a result of a collaboration with
the clay as expressions break through to the
surface and gestures emerge with
encouragement rather than imposition," she
said.
Each one of a kind sculpture is built using
traditional hand building methods, either
pinching the clay or coil building to gain height
and volume. After the piece has been fired
once, the surface is treated with stains, glazes
and glaze pencils. It is fired again and then
finished with paints and/or encaustic. Found
objects are often added to finish the
composition.
Black added, "The piece may then accompany
me into the blacksmith shop where hand forged iron becomes part of the assemblage.
Throughout the process, I try to listen to what the sculpture is telling me, taking direction from it
and allowing for the end result to be very different from the original intention."

MUSIC AT THE BARN
CONCERT SERIES IS A SENSORY TREAT
Music lovers will have to wait until the end of the month for the next in the series of shows but there are still
two left. Graham Nicholas, Alanna Gurr and Lowlands are scheduled for Aug. 26; Josh Geddis and Jenny
Omnichord will bring the summer series to an end on Sept. 16.
Getting to watch artist and owner of Kryart Studio, Kristyn Watterworth, transform a blank canvas into a

FALCONER -POUNDER
Anyone who hasn't spent a sunny Sunday
afternoon in the garden at Kryart Studio on Main
Street still has something to stroke off their
summer "to do" list.
Youthful musicians perform both original creations
and cover tunes all with a folk -style edge. For the
audience it is a sensory treat not just for the ears
but for the eyes as well. Getting to watch artist
and owner of Kryart Studio, Kristyn Watterworth,
transform a blank canvas into a rendering of the
musicians as they perform is an added bonus of
the "Music at the Barn" Series.
On July 29, more than thirty people sought out
shady nooks and corners in the garden to settle in
for an afternoon of music. As the shade moved so
did the spectators but the music was delightful no
matter the vantage point to listen.
The afternoon opened with Turn on the
Waterworks' Brent Meidenger, of Stratford,
performing solo. Bayfield's own Danielle Durand
took the stage next and enlisted the help of
Goderich's Jamie Wallace for a few numbers. Two
members of the Grand Bend indie band, Amity
Beach, Geoff Bailie and Andrew Gill, closed out
the concert.

Jamie Wallace admired artist Kristyn Watterworth's depiction of his fellow musician, Danielle Durand, as concert
goers relaxed and enjoyed the music.
Danielle Durand performed for those gathered in the Kryart Studio garden on the afternoon of July 29th as her
likeness was being created by artist Kristyn Watterworth. The canvas can be seen on an easel set up across the
lawn.

LAKE HURON
Although it is the perfect time to be outside swimming, cycling, hiking and boating, I'm sure a number of our subscribers have
been glued to their television sets as the Olympics from London, England started this past weekend.
What events do you enjoy watching most? I tend to gravitate to diving, swimming, gymnastics and the equestrian events.
Although this time around I seem to be finding a new respect for beach volleyball!
I enjoy cheering on all the athletes but tend to cheer a little harder for the Aussies, the Brits and the Americans - oh, and the
Canadians too, of course, when we make it to the medal rounds. Traditionally we seem to always be a bit slow out of the gate
when it comes to the medal count. I'm not one to worry about the color of medal - hardware is hardware. Individual
achievement should be recognized whether athletes reach the podium, break a world record or simply achieve a personal best.
After all, just making it to Olympic caliber competition is something to be proud of. - Melody
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
