Such was the case recently for Kim Crawford, of London, when he was working on his dry- docked boat near the Bayfield Harbour. He wanted to share his story with Bayfield Breeze subscribers and at the same time thank the Bayfield Firefighters, local EMS and Clinton Public Hospital staff for their combined efforts in coming to his rescue. The following is written in his own words: D PHARMA;SAVE _ _ �IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII �{ ROYAL LEPAGE �IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 5 OPTIMIST CLUB Children and youth are encouraged to take their bicycles for a spin around the Bayfield Arena on June 26 as part of the Bayfield Optimist Club's Bike Rodeo.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY Paul Carroll, well-known and highly respected area historian and author, will be the guest speaker at the cc.viIIageofbayfieId.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week26Issue5l/tabid/454/DefauIt.aspx 1/10 5/27/2019 Week 26 Issue 51 On May 2nd, I had the opportunity to experience the dedication and expertise of the Bayfield Emergency Services team first hand. I was working in very close quarters on my boat with my upper ribs going around a sharp corner as I was trying to tighten some hose clamps. I needed just a fraction of an inch more to reach the hose clamps, so I tried to shimmy myself just a little bit more. At that point I felt a tremendous pain in my ribs along with a popping sound and feeling that took my breath away. I started to try and reposition myself, when I heard and felt another pop in my ribs. It truly felt like a rib was separated. I guess I started to look pale because fellow boaters called emergency services. Within a few minutes an ambulance arrived, and I heard the fire horn sounding. I hoped that the fire horn was just a Saturday test, but no, it was for me... The crew as they prepare to receive the stretcher and cage Safe on the ground ready for transport The EMS staff was truly compassionate and effective, ensuring my safety and comfort. I cannot speak highly enough of these people, they performed their tasks quickly and I felt secure in their hands. The fire department arrived, I had no idea how many until I saw the photographs taken by Paul Schlemmer of Stratford. The combined team of emergency service people immobilized me on a back board and in a cage, then hoisted me over the edge of the boat and down the ladder to the ground. Imagine the staff working 12 feet in the air, on a small deck of a boat getting me secured and ready to move. It is no small feat to ensure patient safety as well as their own safety and move a person off of a boat. The staff at Clinton Public Hospital took me in their care, did some X -Rays and determined nothing was broken, that probably I pinched, rolled or moved a muscle amongst the ribs, making the popping sound and the pain. I want to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to the Bayfield Fire Department; I know they are all volunteers and took time out of their Saturday to help me. Also, a very big thank you to the EMS team and supervisor; they truly are kind hearted and very professional people. ARTISTS TO PAINT THE TOWN THIS COMING SATURDAY Artists from all over Ontario will have their brushes at the ready for the first annual Bayfield Plein Air Day sponsored by the JMR Art Gallery to be held on June 26.

The meeting will be held in the Bayfield Lions' Community Building starting at 7:30 p.m. TOWN HALL Anyone who has driven past the Bayfield Town Hall of late will have noticed a significant transformation to the entrance and grounds of the property.

Gail Grant, of Bayfield, reports, "They came, they captivated, they conquered... they will return!" "They" are Stephen Ralls and Bruce Ubukata, of the Aldeburgh Connection, who recently hosted the Bayfield Festival of Song at the Bayfield Town Hall. The talented duo and their bevy of artists filled the hall with the sound of music during this annual event. Between the week -end concerts, Ralls and Ubukata and four young artists introduced almost 2000 students to the joy of song as they visited schools in Huron and Perth Counties.

On June 19 and 20, the Sail and Canvas Festival, sponsored by the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce, had six galleries and over 30 artists displaying their work. Sailors hoisted a canvas of a different kind down at the harbor with perfect weather conditions allowing for a regatta or two. As the photos indicate it really was a picture perfect weekend for all, whether artists, sailors or visitors. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week261ssue5l/tabid/454/DefauIt.aspx 6/10 5/27/2019 Week 26 Issue 51 Jamie Carlisle (left) and Wendy Richardson, of London, were delighted by the many art displays offered as part of the Sail and Canvas Festival sponsored by the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce. Barbara (left) and Jan Brouwer, of Lucan brought several pieces of Jan's work to Bayfield for the weekend. The artist works with many mediums including, acrylics and oils. Fibre artist, Michelle Dobrin, was a guest artist at Marten Arts on Main Street during the festival. The one of a kind quilted art pieces are comprised of fabric and millions of different colors of thread. She has been working in fibre art for four to five years but has been quilting for 12 years. This painting, displayed outdoors on Main Street, seemed to come to life in the light filtering between the tree canopy. It is entitled, Next Generation, by Teresa Marie, of Grand Bend, and depicts the artist's daughter. Kristi Ossinga, of Tavistock, was busy working on a piece of art on the Sunday of the festival. The main medium in the project she was working on was instant coffee, blending in water colors as needed for a one -of -a - kind result. Two-year-old Ava Dawe, of Clinton, practiced her knowledge of primary colors while admiring the work of artist Lisa Gerrard. The display was one of several by visiting artists to the JMR Gallery on Charles Street, just off Main. cc.villageofbayfiield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek26issue5l /tabid/454/Default.aspx 7/10 5/27/2019 Week 26 Issue 51 Jane and Barry Penhale, publishers from Dundurn Press, the company that published Paul Carroll's most recent work, The Wexford, stopped by the author's display on Main Street on Sunday. They were joining Carroll (right) at the Bayfield book launch to be held at The Village Bookshop later that afternoon. Sunny skies and warm temperatures provided the perfect backdrop for the Sail and Canvas Festvial which was held in Bayfield on June 19 and 20. Artists and sailors alike took full advantage of the weather. What better time then the Sail and Canvas Festival to channel your inner artist? Kryart Studio on Main Street, offers visitors the chance to create their own masterpiece using their Art Project Menu. Jan Divok, of Toronto and Clinton, took advantage of a skilled artist's opinion and quality supplies to fashion her own design. Tatiana Vlasova, of Bayfield, displayed her works done in the traditional Russian style, the Realism Manner. She works in oil, watercolor and sketching. Visitors to her booth had the opportunity to have their portrait sketched. This image of Vlasova's cat captures the feline's mischievious expression beautifully. cc.viIIageofbayfieId.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week26Issue5l/tabid/454/DefauIt.aspx 8/10 5/27/2019 r Bayfield Mews Emlu5iv4 SS+ Carnmunity One Floor iawnhomes 519- 555 -4542 L wwsv-baAieldmews.ra Melody Falconer -Pounder Week 26 Issue 51 SUBMISSIONS When I was a little girl, my mom's side of the family (those who resided in Ontario) would gather faithfully twice a year, once in June and once in December. In June we incorporated Dedication Sunday at the cemetery where my grandparents are buried with a family picnic or barbecue. It was a celebration of two souls that had merged to produce a legacy of children and grandchildren. And then we would meet again in December to share some Christmas cheer with each sibling taking turns as the host. The summer gathering fell by the wayside when I and my cousins entered our teens but for over 40 years we never failed to get together at Christmas — strong winds, snow, hail, sleet, even closed roads couldn't stop us. Until the holiday season two years ago when failing courage to drive in the winter weather prevented us from meeting. It was time to establish a new tradition combining the old. The answer is Christmas in June. My husband and I are pleased to host the Richmond Clan on the longest day of the year (or closest Sunday to it). I dubbed it a Summer Solstice Gathering and we combine the joy of Christmas with some fun in the sun. Although I never truly got to know either one of my grandparents I would hope they would be pleased with this new tradition, and although distance prevents us all from getting together, I think they would be quite proud to know that their clan is now 30 strong and is still making the effort to honor them by spending time with each other. And that really is the best tradition of all. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
