Local author, Judy Keightley will be signing copies of her new book, "Murder at the Town Half' on Apr. 11 cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/weekl5issue301/tabid/719/Default.aspx 1/12 6/13/2019 week 15 issue 301 Local resident and film maker Jen Pate, co-owner/operator of The Windmill Lake Wake & Eco Park, gave the North American debut of a documentary she created on a recent sailing adventure conducted in the name of science at the Bayfield Town Hall on Apr. 2. (Photos by Gary Lloyd -Rees) The grim story of garbage saturating the Atlantic Ocean was told to a packed Bayfield Town Hall Apr. 2. But it was a story told with optimism for a better future by 24 year-old, film maker, Jen Pate, of Bayfield. Pate, one of 14 women, aged 18 to 67, from around the world sailed across the Atlantic from Lanzarote in the Canary Islands to Martinique in the West Indies in November and December of 2014. Pate's main role on board the 72 -foot sailboat, "Sea Dragon" was to film the adventure, not an easy task for the first time sailor who experienced motion sickness 11 out of the 19 days of the trip. From the footage collected, she created the film entitled, "eXXpedition: Making the Unseen Seen". It premiered at the Royal Geographic Society in London, England on March 7 and made its North American premiere in Bayfield Thursday night. Once the ocean waves settled down the women were able to conduct science for about four hours each day. Water samples were taken and conditions were recorded while sampling for plastic pollution of the Atlantic in conjunction with the Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation (ASC) Marine Microplastics Project (ASC Microplastics Project website). In the end, the scientists, activists, artists and technologists on board found the villain in their trip was plastic, much of it from plastic bottles. Pate informed the audience that the Atlantic has two gyres of garbage circulating in the ocean. Each is fed by wind currents. One gyre is located in the north Atlantic and the other in the south. Within each is a huge amount of garbage which the eXXpedition wanted to avoid. An important part of their research was focused on the effect of mini beads. Minibeads of plastic found in dead fish around the world have been confirmed as a major reason for their death. Fish can't differentiate between the floating mini beads and their natural fish food. During the question and answer period that followed, the death of a Grey whale on the shores of Puget Sound in West Seattle five years ago was recounted. This incident highlighted to scientists and the public what the epidemic of trash is causing. The whale's stomach had ingested 20 plastic bags, surgical gloves, plastic, a pair of sweat pants and a golf ball. Now the mini beads are threatening most smaller fish species around the world—much of it is still sold for human food. The Federal Drug Agency is studying the wide expansion of micro beads but hasn't made a ruling on them. Some tooth paste, hand sanitizers and scrubs are included in the products sold to the public. Several states have banned them from products sold to the public. Next year the eXXpedition crew will travel west to east across the Atlantic and avoid the gyre in the south. This summer Pate plans to study pollution in the Great Lakes. at 2 p.m. at The Village Bookshop in Bayfield. Fans of this series are invited to come and meet the author and pick up a copy of the latest Rose Blair mystery!

The 14 women on the eXXpedition had their blood tested for 30 impurities before they sailed from the Canary Islands. When they reached Martineque their results were waiting for them. Each had 29 active impurities in their system. The film presentation was sponsored by the Photography Club of Bayfield. Proceeds were collected for the Bayfield Blue Community (BBC).

Determined youngsters gathered up 28 Kilograms of chocolate, molded into the shape of Easter eggs. The hunt lasted a little longer than the norm as children discovered it isn't easy to pick the eggs up when wearing gloves and mittens to keep their tiny hands warm. Raffle tickets were sold on an Easter Basket to help cover the hunt expenses. Bill Crawford, of cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/weekl5issue301/tabid/719/Default.aspx 6/12 6/13/2019 week 15 issue 301 People made their way across a snowy Clan Gregor Square in anticipation of the annual Bayfield Optimist Club Easter Egg Hunt, Apr. 5. As Optimist members and volunteers worked quickly to scatter the eggs on the lawn in Clan Gregor Square parents and grandparents worked equally hard to keep their youngsters from running until the signal the hunt had begun was given. Clinton, was the winner of the basket. He looked forward to sharing the winnings with his grandson. Destiny Cannon, aged 8 years, was suitably attired for this holiday celebration. Gracie Gilbert (pictured) and her brother, Connor, knew how to make the best out of a snowy Easter day. They made a little snowman in the park while waiting for the hunt to begin. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/weekl5issue301/tabid/719/Default.aspx 7/12 6/13/2019 week 15 issue 301 Snowflakes fell on the paparazzi gathered to catch every second of the annual hunt. Children substituted their Easter finery for warm and colorful winter wear at this years hunt. The temperature registered zero degrees at 1 p.m. Sunday. "Please Mom can I have just one chocolate egg?" Mattias Saavedra asks his mom, Tessa, in the middle of the egg hunt action. Noelle Pounder, seven months, was all smiles for her first encounter with the Easter Bunny. So many eggs, so many people, so little time. This tyke seemed a little overwhelmed by the whole egg hunting process. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/weekl5issue301/tabid/719/Default.aspx 8/12 6/13/2019 week 15 issue 301 The four and under crowd always seem to need a little encouragment and coaxing from parents and grandparents.

I keep saying they need to ask me about mid-June, when the "season" is starting. My husband is cooking and baking lots of things from scratch — cookies, pies, cakes, bread ... and so to counteract the calories we're going on lots of long walks around the village, picking different streets and pathways, finally taking the time to really see the place we've called home for years. He, of course, still sees many spots as he did as a young boy coming to visit both sets of grandparents — one a long-standing resident, the other of the cottager variety. Although I don't have such a history with the village I do have an affinity for the place. And I must say that having never really lived in a town before I'm enjoying it so far. Being able to walk to and from such events as the recent Earth Hour Concert and last week's documentary premiere at the town hall is quite a liberating feeling. And being able to just step out the door with the grandkids and take them for a stroll to play in the park is pretty awesome too. The family, especially our grandson now 3.5 years, is adjusting fairly well to our new lifestyle. He came for a visit this past weekend and shared his remembrances of the Easter Bunny's visit to the big hotel last year. He wasn't concerned that the Easter Bunny wouldn't find him at his new location. He matter-of-factly stated that this year he would be having his Easter Egg Hunt in this much smaller hotel one that, curiously, had no numbers on the doors. True to his prediction he did have a very exciting hunt in this our new abode and what he apparently considers to be his very own B&B. Which begs the question does one ever really "retire"? — Melody P.S. The Bayfield Breeze now has its own dedicated Facebook Page.
