COMNIUNrrY CLEANSE
Registered Holistic Nutritionist and owner of Willow
Creek Wellness, Diana Trzok, is inviting all in the
area to join her in Bayfield's First Annual Spring
Community Cleanse.
People are asked to meet at the new Bayfield Public
Library on Apr. 6 at 10 a.m. to discuss and learn
about the benefits of nutritional cleansing, the who,
what, when, where and how's of bodily detoxification,
effective cleansing programs and techniques to help
rid the body of toxins. She will offer high, medium
and low impact suggestions for cleansing to suit
individual comfort levels.
It isn't always about fasting but it is about moving
away from the standard Canadian diet and adding
healthier practices to the diet. There will be a recipe
swap so participants should bring a notebook and
pen.

MAKING A SPLASH
CAMPAIGN
After taking a break during the cold winter months
the door-to-door canvassing portion of the Bayfield
Optimist Club's "Making a Splash" Campaign is now
up and going again in the community.
Club members and "Friends of Optimists" will be
continuing going door-to-door to talk to people about
the Splash Pad project and provide them with a letter
explaining how they can contribute.
The Municipality of Bluewater will provide tax
receipts for donations over $25.

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

Maria Dunn (Submitted photo)
The Bayfield Town Hall will be the location for a very special night of "story telling through
song" when Juno -nominated songwriter Maria Dunn graces the stage in a fundraising event for
the Huron Women's Shelter, May 3.
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

The Photography Club of Bayfield was established in late 2011 with a purpose to share and
promote photography within Bayfield and the surrounding area. The club now has 30 active
members and is a member of both SWOPA (Southwestern Ontario Photographers'
Association) and CAPA (Canadian Association for Photographic Art).
The aims of the club extend beyond providing information and activities for its members to
sponsoring lectures, demonstrations, and exhibitions for the benefit of the local community and
also being actively involved in projects of a photographic nature with local not-for-profit
organizations.
Gary Lloyd -Rees, co -president of the PCoB said, "As the club considered how to expand its
contribution to the local community, a vision for an annual "destination" photography festival
hosted in Bayfield emerged. 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."
Further information on the festival, including registration details, can be found
atphototourtrekkers.com or by contacting the PCoB at bayfieldpc@gmail.com.
MUSEUM ARCHIVES FEATURED
DURING AWARENESS WEEK
To most people, the word "archive" conjures images of inaccessible, dusty rooms filled with
wrinkled, yellowing paper and old books that have gone untouched for decades, when in fact,
the opposite is true. Ontario Archives Awareness Week, Apr. 8-14, is an opportunity to dispel
these myths.
introductory class on Mondays from 7-9 p.m. starting
Apr. 8 at the Bayfield Town Hall.
The Taoist tradition teaches that a person's health
depends on the harmony of body and mind. Fung
Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi, drawing on a rich lineage of
Taoist training, offers a variety of activities to help
people with their physical, mental and spiritual health
at all stages of their life. Practice of the Taoist arts
can improve strength, flexibility, balance, and
circulation and can help calm the mind and cultivate
the heart, transforming one into a healthier and more
harmonious person. Participants can immediately
experience the benefits of these arts through the
gentle yet powerful movement of Fung Loy Kok
Taoist Tai Chi. All are welcome to attend these
classes taught by accredited, volunteer instructors.
An Open House for Taoist Tai Chi will be held on Apr.
3 at the Bayfield Town Hall from 7:30-8:30 p.m. For
more information call the Taoist Tai Chi Kincardine
location at 519 396-2262.
PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB
Following the positive feedback on the quality of
photographs included in the 2013 Bayfield Calendar,
the Photography Club of Bayfield (PCoB) will again
be coordinating the photographic submissions for the
2014 Bayfield Calendar on behalf of the Bayfield and
Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC).
This year the BACC and PCoB are looking for photos
that, in addition to being recognizably of Bayfield,
also reflect the many different aspects of the village.
Some suggested topics are: beach or marina scenes,
the artistic side of village life and views of historic
buildings and sites.
Gary Lloyd -Rees, co -president of the PCoB, said,
"We encourage every Bayfield Breeze reader, and
their friends or family, to look through their digital
photographs and to submit any that they would like to
be considered for inclusion in the 2014 calendar."
Images can be sent to the dedicated Flickr site .
Anyone who is not a regular user of Flickr can email
their digital photographs directly to the PCoB at
bayfieldpc@gmail.com. Please note that the cut-off
for submissions is May 22.
The final selection of photographs will be made by
the end of May, with a special event being planned to
launch the calendar over the Sail and Canvas
weekend of June 15-16. Be sure to check the
Bayfield Breeze for more details regarding the
calendar launch over the coming weeks.

overcast and damp with rain in the morning. But
the day was brightened by an annual event
hosted by the Bayfield Optimist Club and this year
an extra special guest made the early afternoon
Easter Egg Hunt even more thrilling for the
youngsters.
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.
A raffle was held on a basket of Easter treats and
toys to help cover the hunt expenses. Guido
Panacci, of Mississauga, was the winner of the

Alex Curtis, eight months, of Bayfield, wasn't 100 per cent sure that he wanted to be in the arms of the Easter
Bunny who took time out of his busy holiday schedule to attend the Bayfield Optimist Club's Easter Egg Hunt
this year.
The four and under crowd were quick off the mark to start gathering those chocolate goodies.
basket. He was very excited to share the contents
with his grandchildren.
Just waiting for the hunt to begin was
excitement enough for many children but
the arrival of the Easter Bunny further
heightened the experience.
Ariel Sturgeon, of Erin, ON was happy to
pose with the Easter Bunny. Many of the
children that attended the hunt lined up to
say "Hi!" and get a picture with this
holiday celebrity.

The thrill of the hunt was evident on the faces of the youngest participants. The hunters are divided into two
groups: "four and under" and "five and up".

granddaughters seemed quite thrilled as well when his ticket number was called at the conclusion of the hunt.

My 22 month-old grandson was very recently introduced to the taste of chocolate. And well... he likes it! No
surprise there really as both his grandfather and his father are rather enamored with the decadent treat.

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
