Wednesday, August 19, 2015 • Lucknow Sentinel 7 Wawanosh 4-H Pollinators Meeting 3 Loretta Higgins Meeting three of the Wawanosh Pollinator Project was held at 7 p.m. on August 4, 2015 at the Wingham Community Garden. The meeting started off with the club harvesting various vegetables for the Wingham Foodshare. Then Gayle opened the meeting with the pledge and lead Roll Call which asked members if they have ever looked at an insect or bird closely and what they noticed. Next Justin of read the meeting two minutes that he wrote. The last piece of business was to decide on our club name which will be the "Proud Pollinators" with Amanda designing the cover. Members gave an update about the pots they made last meeting before talking about flower anatomy. After learning the parts of the flowers members tested their knowledge by looking at flowers Mary Ellen had brought. The bee waggle dance was then played to represent what bees do to communicate. Next piece of reading was about the pollination process that was followed by the "No you can't take me game': It challenged members to know why different things were important for pollination. Another activity played was the humming- bird hibernation game. It was simi- lar to tag with the people "it" either making the running hummingbirds too cold or hungry that they had to stop moving until rescued. Members were then told to com- plete the meeting 4 home activity instead of Meeting 3.

Wingham Artist Conjures "A Trick of the Light" in Blyth Gallery Robert Tetu Blyth Festival Art Gallery The Blyth Festival Art Gallery's final exhibition of the 2015 season honours a local artist, teacher and supporter of the arts. He began cre- ating art in high school and has fond memories of bringing his sketchbooks and art materials along with him on wilderness canoe trips with his father. Greg Sherwood's interest in sci- ence has shaped his life as an artist. After leaving high school, he first studied geology and received his Bachelor degree. He returned to university to study art and received his Honours Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and later his Bachelor of Education. Those qualifications have served him well as he worked as a painter and educator in Huron County for the last 27 years. His paintings are in collections throughout Canada and the US. He recently retired from his position as the well-respected Arts Depart- ment head at F E Madill Secondary School, in Wingham, where he cur- rently resides with his wife. His exhibition, entitled "A Trick of the Light', is a collection of both large- and small-scale oil paintings of rugged landscapes, waterways and sweeping skies from vistas in Huron and Bruce Counties and the Maritimes. A typical scene might show a freshly harvested grain field with large bales, an angry sky with brooding clouds and a few cows thrown in for good measure. Sherwood offers this explanation of the exhibition title. "'A Trick of the Light' is a phrase that strikes me as an apt description of what UN a tree!

CaII Vicky 519-523-4870 painting is. In many ways painters deal in illusion, creating represen- tations of the real world. When done well, this illusion of reality can often contain a truth that may not be evident in the actual scene being represented. Perhaps this is the real "trick': "This show features places that are important to me, in particular those that speak to a sense of place which goes beyond geography." The viewer is invited to think about the interactions between people and their environment and the effects of the seasons on the landscape. Come to the exhibition and let Greg Sherwood's paintings work their magic on you. The show is curated by Vicki McKague and Robert Tetu, and is sponsored by Carol & Jerry McDonnell and Ron & Bev Walker. It can be viewed starting August 21 to September 12 in the Bainton Gallery, in the Blyth Memorial Hall, during Festival box office hours.
