Membership has changed over the years but the guild is proud that some of the original members are still involved. The guild continues to welcome new members and endeavors to instill in the community an appreciation of this art. The Goderich Quilters' Guild was formed in 1992. Kathryn Caie, sensing a community interest in quilting, organized a meeting of interested quilters. As a result of that meeting, the guild was formed with Caie as the first president. Many of the original members are still members today. The Goderich Quilters' Guild also provides an opportunity for members to share their expertise and offer encouragement to new quilters. Both guilds offer workshops and support but most importantly, friendship. The joint exhibition will take place on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free. On site demonstrations will also be taking place.

Wednesday, Oct. 17 is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. To mark the day, the Huron and Perth Social Research and Planning Council (HPSRPC) will present the opening of its "Photovoice Exhibit" in Blyth, from 5-6 p.m., at the Blyth Art Gallery. The exhibit will feature photographs from community participants who have been taking pictures of "what it looks like to live on less." The project is part of the HPSPRC's current research project, "How Much is Enough?" The project is researching the lived experiences of people in Perth - Huron who make less than a living wage and the impact this has on day-to-day living for individuals and the broader community. The research will provide recommendations to local and provincial governments, agencies, employers and community groups for addressing the impact of not having a living wage/income. The HPSRPC collaborated with local photographer, Terry Manzo, to offer photography workshops and mentorship to community participants. The participants were then tasked with photographing how living on low income effects their daily lives. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek421ssue484/tabid/905/Default.aspx 7/15 6/11/2019 Week 42 Issue 484 The temperature rose to about 17C in the Hullett Sugar Bush on Sunday afternoon.

(Photo by Melody Falconer - Pounder) This spot close to the bridge is a popular choice for fishermen. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder) PHOTOS BY MELODY FALCONER - POUNDER AND TONY VAN BAKEL STORY BY BILL ROWAT There was an exciting turn of events at the 40th Annual Bayfield Lions' Club's Joe Brandon Memorial Fishing Derby held on Oct. 12-14. Natalie Hardy, of London, ON bought her first fishing rod a few days before the Derby for $30 at Angling Sport in the city. To the chagrin of all the seasoned, experienced fishermen in the Derby, Hardy, in her first outing ever, landed the largest Rainbow Trout at 9.36 lbs. "Excuse the pun but I may now be 'hooked' on this sport," Hardy said. Not only did Hardy win the Derby grand prize of $800 but she also won the prize for largest fish caught by a woman. Second prize in the Derby also went to a woman, Cassandra O'Brien, of Kitchener, for her 7.62 Ib trout. In a show of good sportsmanship, Hardy graciously gave her prize for the biggest fish caught by a female, that consisted of a trophy and $100 gift card donated by Angling Sports, of London, to O'Brien. Third place winner was Ryan DaSilva, of London, for his 7.52 Ib. trout. Larry Robidoux earned the prize for largest salmon caught at 11.98 Ib. The Bill Thorpe prize for the largest trout caught by a 16-18 year-old contestant went to Connor Mitchell, of London, for his 3.30 Ib. fish. The Eric Earle prize for the 15 and under age group went to Braden Vorsteveld for his fish that weighed in at 4.36 lbs. Long-time weigh master, Tim Moon again did the measuring and weighing fish as they came in and logging the stats on the board. "The weather was beautiful this weekend," said Moon. "I was kept pretty busy with all the fish caught." This was Moon's last year of a seven-year stint as weigh master. The crowd honored him with a loud round of applause and cheers. Lion Tom Grasby, Derby director, expressed his thanks to the participating fishermen. "Once again we sold out all 250 tickets and we had a record number of young people entering," Grasby said. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek421ssue484/tabid/905/Default.aspx 10/15 6/11/2019 Week 42 Issue 484 Some veteran participants enjoyed all the comforts of home during the three day fishing event.

(Photos by Melody Falconer -Pounder) Grasby thanked all of the local sponsors of the Derby and in particular noted the contribution by Pat Devincenzo, owner of Angling Sport in London, for his sponsorship and making available hundreds of dollars in prizes from his London store. He also gave a special thanks to Gary Brandon, owner of Rainbow Valley campground, for his years of personal support and providing the wonderful venue for the Derby. "Without Gary's commitment every year this event would not happen," said Grasby. Fishermen made a special effort to keep their fishing sites clean both in the campground and in adjacent river properties. "It is important to work with neighboring riverfront owners to make this derby a success," Grasby added. The Bayfield River Flats provided a stunning backdrop for fishing.

Now raise your hand if you took advantage of the live streaming on Facebook of the meeting and watched it from the comfort of your own livingroom couch. I was one of the latter, and yes, I watched all two hours, 11 minutes and 41 seconds of it. I would like to thank the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce for offering this option to help community members increase their knowledge of the candidates and the issues at the forefront of the 2018 municipal election. It offered the added bonus of providing the opportunity for people who were out of town for work or on vacation to still get informed. Hopefully it is the start of a trend for local politics and/or important community meetings. — Melody cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek421ssue484/tabid/905/Default.aspx 14/15 6/11/2019 Week 42 Issue 484 P.S.
