What's a Little Free Library? It's a box full of books; books that you can take and return at your leisure. More so, it's a gathering place where you, your fellow villagers and visitors can share your favorite literature, stories and love of reading. The Little Free Library will officially launch on Sept. 5 from 5-7 p.m. at Patina Studios. Everyone is welcome to join library owner, Janet Tufts and store owner, Joan Bailey, for this exciting grand opening. Bring a book to help stock the shelf, or just come and check it out. For those unfamiliar with the Little Free Library initiative, it's a growing international movement that has been promoting literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide since 2010. The Little Free Library aims to foster a sense of community and connection by providing an opportunity for people of all ages to share their skills, creativity and wisdom. Locally, the story that brought Bayfield's Little Free Library to its home on Main Street is a serendipitous one and goes like this... It was a lovely Saturday morning in June when Bailey, learned about the Little Free Library movement on Facebook. Being a creative and community -minded person, she thought to F112,111 PIONEER PARK "Johnny Party and The Just Given" will rock out the summer until darkness falls on Pioneer Park on Aug. 30.

Meanwhile, that very same morning, cottager Tufts was on a quest to find a home for the Little Free Library that she received from her three grown children on Mother's Day. Through an acquaintance, Tufts and Bailey were introduced and within minutes the partnership was sealed. It took a few months for Tufts to create something worthy of sitting in front of such a fine art store, but at long last the library was installed on Aug. 8. Week one was a great success with enthusiasm and activity growing by the day. The Canada Council for the Arts described it as "Brilliant!" and featured it _ on their Facebook page. Bailey reported lots of people stopping by to comment on Main Street's newest attraction. Some patrons had heard about these libraries but never seen one before, or had just seen their first and were surprised to see another, while others started thinking about making one for themselves. Books were coming and going — the best exchange happening from two little sisters (maybe three and five years) who took a book from the library and came rushing back a few hours later to put in two of their own books. Even little ones understand this The Little Free Library on Main Street will officially launch on Sept. 5 from 5-7 p.m. at Patina Studios.

She also acknowledged that safe, affordable access to healthy food should be considered a basic human right, and the work of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank strives to achieve this through collecting grain and through cash donation. Because of an established partnership with the Federal Government, all donations for food assistance are leveraged four to one, which means for every dollar donated to Foodgrains; $5 is actually spent. "The generosity of those attending the Bayfield Fair Community Church Service last Sunday resulted in $1,530 offered as donations to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. With the government's portion, this translates to $7,650 worth of food aid that will be provided," said Elise Feltrin, minister of St. Andrew's United Church. "What a remarkable 'harvest' of abundance to be shared with those in need! To all who attended and supported this worthy cause, many thanks."

A lot of participants went for a more surreal approach not necessarily going for exactly the sunset they saw — more its essence. The evening provided free of charge by the Pioneer Park Association drew about 50 people and all who wished to participate went home with a new piece of art to hang on the wall — the season's last breath captured on canvas for all to remember the summer of 2014. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week35issue269/tabid/683/Default.aspx 8/13 5/31/2019 Week 35 Issue 269 a n.ecl Saturday's sunset.

HEARING UMENT - r SPECIALIST SUBMISSIONS So anyone who subscribes to social media will have probably heard about or witnessed someone participating in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. It started just over a month ago when a 29 year-old from Boston encouraged some local sports figures to take the challenge for a cause he believed in - the work to find a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease". Pete Frates was an outfielder and the team captain for his Boston College baseball team in 2007. He was 27 years old in 2012 when he was first diagnosed with ALS. At that time he decided to make his fight cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week351ssue269/tabid/683/Default.aspx 11/13 5/31/2019 A young Rose at the piano. their goal. Week 35 Issue 269 matter and started to garner more attention about the disease. He even spoke to the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. calling them to action. Now confined to a wheelchair and unable to speak Frates has been able to watch the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge become a viral sensation. It started with local sports figures and spread across the nation, celebrities got behind it and then individuals and families. To date 80 million has been raised - $5,800,000 in Canada alone. ALS Canada has set $7,500,000 as Locally Leigh Anne Van Aaken was nominated to take the challenge by her niece Jessica. Leigh Anne has decided to change it up a bit and invites anyone who doesn't want to dump a bucket of ice water on their heads to join her in a walk to raise awareness and money.

The picture was taken about a year before she died, she had already lost the ability to walk or talk and she was steadily losing strength in her hands, playing the piano (something she was known for) had become too difficult but she always had a huge smile whenever we came to visit! "So my challenge is for everyone to join me in Bayfield on Aug. 30 at 1 p.m. in front of the Bayfield Town Hall and we'll take a walk together in honor of my Mom. I'll bring the donation jar and you bring your lose change and we'll see how much money we can raise! See you Saturday!" wrote Leigh Anne on her Facebook page. On Aug. 14, Pete Frates was wheeled onto the outfield at Fenway Park and his wife dropped a bucket of ice water over his head. So the man who started the phenomenon for ALS also became a participant. You can be one too — just by walking and/or donating on Saturday. Hope to see you there. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
