Canada. Rich in original turns -of -phrase, the nine stories in "Sleeping Funny" draw the reader into poignant moments in the lives of contemporary characters, as well as a 19th century minister in Kingston, ON, and, in a separate story, the wife of a WWII pilot. She sold her upcoming novel with just a one-page outline. "But now I have to write it!" she said The new work, titled, "Conduct", tells a multi -generational story split geographically between Pittsburgh and Muskoka. At the St. Patrick's Day talk held over lunch at The Little Inn, Hill shared a sample of her poetry and excerpts from her book, as well as insights on how she overcomes the challenges of putting pen to paper while enjoying her five children and continuing her freelance communications practice. "It was about perseverance and facing things down," she said, admitting that the biggest challenge in completing her early prose was sitting down each day to write despite the nagging doubt that she wouldn't be able to write as well as she hoped. She admitted dissatisfaction with some early attempts, joking, "I would write like I was shot out of a cannon. But I was bad." Married to celebrated author Lawrence Hill, who won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize in 2008 for "The Book of Negroes", she said she values his views but admits that she never shares her writing with anyone until she feels she has taken it as far as she can. "I want to show it to people who understand what I'm trying to do," she said. " But I don't show it around a lot." In addition to her writing accomplishments, Hill also founded Project Bookmark Canada, which places poster -sized plaques with up to 500 words of text from stories and poems in the exact People who wish to purchase a brick or a bench but don't live in the village can now access the order form online through the event's dedicated website: www. bayfieldsplash pad. com.

Dunn, a singer whose instruments of choice include the guitar and accordion, draws deeply on the folk tradition of storytelling through song. According to her website, she is a true preserver of the spirit of folk music and is often compared to Woody Guthrie for her keen social awareness and her unvarnished songs about the lives of working men and women. Her biographical notes go on to say that her music melds her North American roots with her Scottish -Irish heritage. She celebrates the resilience and grace of "ordinary" people, past and present. This appears to be evident on her new album "Piece By Piece which was released in 2012 and was inspired by women working at a Canadian clothing factory. Local talent, Danielle Durand, who is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Huron Women's Shelter, will perform as the evening's opening act. Another highlight of the evening will be an excerpt from Western University's "Vagina Monologues". The concert will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are now available for $20, adults and $12, students 16 and under. They can be purchased at Main Street Optometric in Bayfield, Ernie King Music in Goderich, or online at www.ticketscene.ca.

We have partnered with Photo Tour Trekkers, the leading Canadian photographic adventure travel organization, and we will be bringing a number of well-known photographers to Bayfield to make presentations, hold workshops and host photo walks over the weekend of Oct. 5-6." Registration for the Fall Foto Fest, themed "A Celebration of Fall", is already open and is currently being promoted to photographers of all abilities throughout Southwestern Ontario and beyond. There will be up to 80 participants on each day of the event and participants can take part on either one of the days or on both days. In addition to plenary sessions, themed workshops and complementary photo walks will take place each day. These are limited to a maximum of 20 photographers. The workshops are as follows: • Nature - Wide-angle & Macro • Water - Working with light • Village Life - Telling a Story • Capturing the Image - Beyond the "Auto" Setting Lloyd -Rees added, "Through this event, and beyond, we are looking to promote Bayfield and the surrounding area as a photographic destination. Our aim is to attract not just local photographers, but also those from outside of the local area and to introduce them to Bayfield's many photogenic sites and attractions."

The Easter Bunny proved to be a very friendly and cuddly seasonal celebrity offering up hugs to enthusiastic children and posing for pictures. One four year-old lad was even heard to exclaim, "You're really real!" to which the no longer mythical legend nodded a charmingly positive response. Nearly 60 pounds of chocolate, molded into the shape of Easter eggs, were strewn about the lawn of Clan Gregor Square and about 100 children happily picked them up and deposited them in a myriad of delightful baskets.

The hunters are divided into two groups: "four and under" and "five and up". Guido Panacci, of Mississauga, was extremely delighted to win the Easter Basket filled with goodies. His granddaughters seemed quite thrilled as well when his ticket number was called at the conclusion of the hunt. the number of chocolate eggs he had collected in his bag. Hudson Hessel, of Bayfield, proved to be a very methodical egg gatherer. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Weekl5lssuel96/tabid/607/Default.aspx 11/14 5/31/2019 Week 15 Issue 196 NPf BAS 'r r BI Fedi - f e vx ��-�� 344TT�I�Iltl Rtl. �e 51866-SBS-S�59 st l9� PVCH ATED - IMAGE OF THE WEEK Melting Ice: Lake Huron By Janette Baillie Email your photo in Jpeg format to bayfield.breeze@villageofbayfield.com with the subject line Subscriber Photo of the Week. or ...

No surprise there really as both his grandfather and his father are rather enamored with the decadent treat. cc.viIlageofbayfieId.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week151ssuel96/tabid/607/Default.aspx 12/14 5/31/2019 Melody Falconer -Pounder & the Easter Bunny Week 15 Issue 196 Some people have to ensure that their freezer is always well stocked or their gas tank is full. My husband isn't comfortable unless there is plenty of chocolate in the house. He doesn't have to eat it. He just has to know that it is there. (For me it's Christmas wrapping paper — but that's another story for another time.) This was my grandson's first visit to Bayfield since Christmas. Right away I noticed a big change in him — he is really noticing stuff, things he walked right past before he would stop, look at, comment on and sometimes reach for — stuff in display cabinets, stuff on shelves and in cupboards and stuff in candy dishes. Especially the bowl of green and red chocolate M&Ms from my husband's Christmas stash. Some heavy duty negotiating went on over the weekend with Graham, Gramel and the M&Ms — we did eventually come to a mutually satisfying consensus and I was able to switch to stickers for both amusement and incentive. Graham also enjoyed his first Easter Egg Hunt that also produced a nice balance between sweet treats and fun stuff. His first taste of chocolate Easter Bunny was duly recorded both in photos and video. Unfortunately, he didn't make it to the Easter Egg Hunt in Clan Gregor Square as it coincided with his afternoon nap but that leaves a new first for next Easter. Hopefully another visit will be on the horizon soon — can't wait until he discovers his grandfather's candy cupboard... may have to buy some bigger and better stickers to compete! - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
