(Photo by Melody Falconer - Pounder) STORY AND PHOTO BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Sitting at a cozy table near the rear of The Black Dog Village Pub and Bistro it becomes evident that there is a new attraction for regulars to the establishment. A piece of art placed in a prominent position is causing a bit of a stir. A young mother and her little daughter approach the framed work on the wall. The mom asks the girl if she knows what the painting is of? "It's this place," she explains. "It's The Black Doggie!" exclaims her daughter with a nod of agreement before running back to her table for dinner. It is indeed The Black Dog — an extremely detailed version in acrylic by artist, Carolyn Hurd, a Goderich native, who has had a love for the village of Bayfield since discovering it in her teens She was drawn to the character of the heritage building on a recent visit to the village, on the lookout for scenes to paint. "It feels like a place that is a second home for a lot of people and that feeling made me want to paint it," said Hurd. The scene Hurd has captured appeared to her "as a whole bunch of mini paintings within the larger image." The artist enjoys the challenge of working with a variety of textures and the Black Dog image had them in spades - from recreating detailed lettering, chalk on a chalkboard, scenes reflected in windows and sunlight glistening off umbrellas there was enough to keep her engaged and enjoying her work. She said the window reflections were particularly challenging and yet perhaps the most entertaining to do. "At times you have to trust what you are seeing when you are painting and not think about it because if you think about it, it might cease to make sense." For Hurd the greatest compliment she can receive about her finished pieces is that they look like a photograph. "I know I've done a good job when I hear someone say that." pledges to take part but participants may do so if they wish. Following the walk return to the park for refreshments and a swag bag. Those who attend can also find out more about how the volunteers, staff and directors of the AMGHF raise money for urgently needed equipment for AMGH.

(Submitted photo) The Diabetes Day Program at the Bluewater Area Family Health Team (BAFHT) in Zurich has achieved top marks. A recent analysis of their results has shown a dramatic improvement in health for those who participated in the program in the first year. The BAFHT is now offering the program in the evening for those whose work prevents them from appointments during the day. The clinic is also offering an "all in one" visit where the lab work and most diabetes visits are done at the same time using a new method of testing Al c (not covered by CHIP as yet). "This program is phenomenal and can serve as a model for every medical practice in Canada," said Diabetes Educator, Amanda Mikalachki RN, BScN, CDE from St Joseph's Health Care London, Primary Care Diabetes Support Program. She has been mentoring the team over the past year. A comparison was made for patients of the health team who do not participate in the program and it was noted that their diabetes got worse overall. Compared to patients with diabetes who do the usual office visits for diabetes, those in the formal diabetes program dropped their sugar levels (Al c) by 25 per cent. Those not in the program saw their sugar levels go up. Very similar results were seen for cholesterol levels and weight. Patients enrolled in the program were surveyed and 80 per cent felt that the program was substantially better than the usual doctor's office care for diabetes. The program aims to enhance access for individuals living with diabetes by working as an inter -professional team Dane Nickel collected the data on behalf of the BAFHT. They are appreciative of his support as well as the assistance of Gina Palmese and Rachel LaBonte, of the Partnering for Quality Program, and to Jamy Brodt, of the Regional Coordination Centre, for their assistance with data analysis.

James Weeks, owner of the Marble Works in Exeter, ordered the fine white granite statue from Carrara, Italy. • The four-sided fieldstone Memorial Cenotaph in Clan Gregor Square in Bayfield was placed in 1933. • The Village of Blyth erected a hall as their memorial to veterans of the First World War. Plaques carved by Rev. George Telford, with the help of Adam Elliott, hold the names of local men killed in WWI. • In a lovely shady park in Fordwich, the Township of Howick erected a cenotaph in memory of the men who gave their lives in the Great War.

BOOT CAMP ON THE MOVE Kaylie Ginn plans to move Bayfield Boot Camp indoors on Oct. 15. (Submitted photo) STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Kaylie Ginn's life philosophy is a simple one. "Fitness makes me happy," she said. The Bayfield resident has been spreading the happiness since the middle of May when she started Bayfield Boot Camp inviting others to join her for a total body work out four evenings a week in Clan Gregor Square. The sessions saw anywhere from two to 10 people join her for a mix of cardio and strength training. "There was a great atmosphere in the park. At first some people found it a little awkward, they worried about people watching us, but once they started working out they didn't think about it anymore and just had fun," said Ginn. Now that the cold weather is approaching Ginn is moving the fitness program indoors. Starting on Oct. 15, she will be offering classes two nights a week both in Bayfield and Holmesville. Bayfield classes will be held on Mondays (6 p.m.) and Wednesdays (5:30 p.m.) at the Bayfield Community Centre. Holmesville Public School will be the setting for work outs on Tuesdays and Thursdays, both at 6 p.m. She is also offering classes at Curves in Clinton on Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. Ginn stated that she never does the same work out twice. She also offers something for every level of fitness and experience. "I provide beginner moves and advanced moves so that it isn't scary or intimidating. You can go as hard as you want or as easy as you need to," she said. Ginn's Boot Camp is a mix of cardio, strength and weight training, plyometrics, yoga, pilates, and kick -boxing to name but a few types of exercise she likes to incorporate in her work out sessions. It is a total body work out that burns calories, blasts fat and boosts metabolism. Ginn has had a life long devotion to exercise. Growing up she played "tons of sports" including, hockey, basketball and soccer. "Then I went to university and I learned what they meant by the 'Freshman 15'. Through university I worked as a waitress, I found that working out kept me calm. Even when I don't really feel motivated to work out it makes me feel better," she said. After graduating from Wilfred Laurier University she discovered finding a job in her chosen field in a small town was going to be a difficult one so she changed tactics and got herself certified as a personal trainer and started Bayfield Boot Camp. Since the work out sessions are always different people can drop in whenever they can if their schedule keeps them from coming once or twice each and every week. Participants should bring a water bottle, yoga mat or towel and if they have five or eight pound weights they are welcome to bring those too. For the creation of the 2013 calendar the BACC teamed up with the Photography Club of Bayfield to aid in the collecting and selecting of the images used in the calendar. The 2013 Bayfield Calendar features photography by Jack Pal, Cate Cuerden, Dianne Brandon, Gary Lloyd -Rees, Conrad Kuiper, Dennis Pal, Janette Bailie and Melody Falconer -Pounder. The calendar is now available for purchase for $10 at Brandon's Hardware, Pharmasave, Michael's Pharmacy, The Village Bookshop, The Little Inn of Bayfield, Bayfield Convenience, This N' That and the Bayfield Historical Society Archives Building on Main Street. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week421ssuel71/tabid/582/Default.aspx 8/14 5/27/2019 Week 42 Issue 171 "I'm suggesting people begin working at getting in shape now before Christmas rather than waiting until after or the New Year to start," said Ginn.

PHOTO STORY OPTIlMST CLUB OF BAYFIELD WITH APPROVALS IN PLACE FUNDRAISING BEGINS FOR SPLASH PAD STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER What began as an idea in June came one step closer to reality in September when the Municipality of Bluewater approved the Optimist Club of Bayfield's proposal for creating a Splash Pad in Clan Gregor Square. Members of the club and "Friends of Optimists" worked diligently through the summer to get all the necessary approvals in place to proceed with the project. From the beginning the club has looked at it as a project for the whole community to rally behind. Several organizations and groups in the village have written letters of support. Plus the backing of the Bluewater Heritage Committee was also an integral part of the approval process as Clan Gregor is located in a Heritage Designated District. "The Splash Pad will benefit the children who reside in the village and greater municipality as well as all the children that visit the community with their families each year," said Mike Dixon, chair of the Bayfield Optimist Splash Pad Committee. The club is actively exploring a variety of fundraising avenues including, federal, provincial and corporate grants. An application is currently being prepared for a Trillium Grant. "If anyone has suggestions as to other places we can apply for funding we would love to hear from them," said McKaig. One such possible grant could be provided through the Aviva Community Fund but the community needs to help to ensure they are successful. The Aviva Community Fund is, according to their website, "an annual competition that is changing Canadian communities by bringing great ideas to life. The most popular ideas, as determined by passionate Canadians like you, will have a chance to win a share of the $1,000,000 Aviva Community Fund." The competition is a three part voting process. For the first stage voting began on Oct. 1 and continues to Oct. 15. "In searching for ways to help the community get behind the project we created a Bayfield Optimist Splash Pad Supporters Page on Facebook and already we have about 220 members," said McKaig. "This enthusiasm led us to competing in the Aviva Community Fund Competition but we need to move fast to make it to the next round. We cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week421ssuel71/tabid/582/Default.aspx 10/14 5/27/2019 Week 42 Issue 171 must get to position 90 or lower in the next five MR days.,, •i The club members invite everyone to register and vote for the Splash Pad project either on the Aviva w website or through Facebook.

J "We are very sure that the Splash Pad will be very well used. Anyone who has sat on a bench by the playground in Clan Gregor for even a short time will be aware of just how well used it is," said Wayne McKaig, co-chair. The Splash Pad will be approximately 50 ft. in diameter. There will be about 10 sprinkler heads for the enjoyment of the children. All sprinkler heads will be at ground level with no topical fittings or fixtures. The surface of the pad will be painted in pastel colors to compliment the surrounding landscape. The project will also be environmentally friendly and non -evasive. The Splash Pad will use a recyclable water system. This will eliminate excessive water use and the need for underground storage tanks. The water will be tested daily and the filtration system will be the same as that of a swimming pool. According to McKaig, "From its inception the heritage aspect of the project has always been key. The Splash Pad will not be garish, obtrusive or modern in design. It will take into consideration the tranquil park setting and utilize a corner of the park that is rarely used as the little ball diamond has aged and is in disrepair." The Optimist Club of Bayfield, in working with the Municipality of Bluewater, plans to have the Splash Pad installed by Canada Day 2013. As approximately $150,000 will have to be raised to complete the project, fundraising will continue even after the sprinklers start spraying. But the club hopes to raise the majority of funds in the next few months. "This is the largest fundraising endeavor that the Bayfield Club has ever undertaken in its 27 year history," said Dixon. "We are constantly striving to fulfill our mandate as 'friends of youth'." This letter will offer details on how people can purchase an engraved brick or park bench to aid in the fundraising. "Brick walkways similar in design to the existing Bayfield Town Hall and the Clan Gregor Square walkways will be installed around the Splash Pad giving the project a timeless and cohesive look," said Dixon. Keep an eye on the Bayfield Breeze to see when the official start date for this campaign will be. Two other Optimist Club fundraisers are fast approaching. The very popular "Homes for the Holiday" as well as an exciting raffle on a Toy Chest filled to overflowing with toys for children of all ages. A portion of funds from these events will be allocated to the Splash Pad project. Homes for the Holiday is a tour of five homes decorated by area businesses and includes, a light lunch served at the Bayfield Village Inn. The event will be held on Nov. 3 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Nov. 4 from noon to 4 p.m. Tickets cost $20 each and are available now by calling the Bayfield Village Inn 519 565-2443, in Bayfield at Brandon's Hardware and The General Store, in Goderich at Homescapes by Lynn, in Clinton at Curves or Grand Bend at The Garden Gate.

They were just a couple of weeks ago weren't they? I'm afraid they are almost forgotten in the whirlwind that is fall — when my daily routine really kicks into high gear with a plethora of extracurricular activities. I always chuckle to myself when summer visitors ask what we small town folks do in the winter to keep busy? My answer is generally I'm busier in the winter than I am in the summer. Such is the reality of a tourist destination, in the summer I work. In the winter I work and play, volunteer and volunteer some more. The majority of year round residents will no doubt agree. It is what keeps our community vibrant. It isn't always the easiest lifestyle choice. It is almost always hectic and sometimes a little frustrating but in the end very rewarding. We have a saying printed on the wall at the entrance to our home courtesy of Winston Churchill — "We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give." As a small town resident these are words to live by and I think we do, the proof is in the pages of this publication every week. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
