Ten years after the" Inconvenient Truth" movie brought climate change into the forefront of mainstream culture, Nobel Prize winner Al Gore has created a sequel, 'Truth to Power", in which he continues the tireless fight to educate the next generation of climate champions. Eye- opening and alarming, this movie shows that while the stakes have never been higher, the solutions to the climate crisis are still within our reach. Introducing the movie and facilitating the discussion afterwards will be Professor Tom Davis, of Fanshawe College. Davis was one of the keynote presenters last year in the successful Blue Bayfield Summit environmental conference. He has over 35 years of consulting, developing, project management and teaching experience in the environmental arena and is a LEED accredited professional with the Canadian Green Building Council. He was also personally trained by Al Gore and therefore is part of the Climate Reality Program Leadership Corps. This makes him the ideal person to help us understand the importance of the statements this movie makes about the looming climate crisis. Be sure to mark your calendar and come to the once -only screening of this important movie. The film will commence at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free. However, your donations at the door will help the co-sponsors, Blue Bayfield and Bayfield River Valley Trail Association, offset the costs of the event. Surplus funds will be used to further the objectives of Blue Bayfield, BRVTA and other local organizations supporting environmental initiatives.

I am pleased to share that one of these painted felines was "adopted" on July 27. Did I forget to mention these cats are not the sit in your lap kind but rather works of art that hang on your wall? Probably an important point to make especially for those who may be allergic. These zany cats are the creations of Artist Andrew Lewis who is the featured artist at The Turner Gallery this summer. The whimsically delightful Zoe is the first cat to find a home and as a result a donation to the Bayfield Forgotten Felines TNR cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week3l Issue473/tabid/894/Default.aspx 13/14 6/11/2019 Melody Falconer -Pounder Week 31 Issue 473 program will be given. That leaves three little kittens (well, not so little actually, the paintings are 36"X36") looking for a home. But if you'd like to help out the Main Street feral cat colony and enjoy some art on a smaller scale there are smaller 12" x 12" prints of the paintings available too. These smaller images are sold individually or in a set and a percentage of those sales will also go to the Forgotten Felines. The gallery is open Thursday to Sunday until Sept. 1.
