Huron -Bruce MP Ben Lobb visited the Bayfield Arena on July 3 to congratulate the Bayfield Mews for their efforts in establishing Pickleball and Shuffleboard playing opportunities for residents with the help of a $25,000 grant from the New Horizons for Seniors Program. President of the Bayfield Mews, John Elmslie (right of Lobb) and members of the Bayfield Pickleball Club joined the MP in the celebration. (Submitted photos) Huron -Bruce MP Ben Lobb visited the Bayfield Arena on July 3 to congratulate the Bayfield Mews for establishing a multi-purpose recreational program for the community of Bayfield with the help of a $25,000 grant from the New Horizons for Seniors Program. The federal program provides capital assistance for new and existing community projects and/or programs for seniors. Early this year Bayfield Mews made a presentation to Bluewater council to use the arena for pickleball and shuffleboard courts when the ice surface is removed during the summer and to use the Varna complex in the winter when the ice surface is in the Bayfield Arena. The grant funds were used to purchase nets and paddles for four pickleball courts and the equipment for two shuffleboard courts. In addition, court time has been purchased so everyone can play at no charge for at least a year. This will give people who are unfamiliar with the game a chance to come and try the sport without investing in equipment. It will also be a chance to establish a club that can operate the program and make the program sustainable in the future. The Bicycle Opera Project will once again be cycling into the village for a performance on July 20 at the Bayfield Town Hall. (Submitted photo) The Bicycle Opera Project returns to Bayfield on July 20 with an exciting new season, bringing together a cast of young emerging opera stars, instrumentalists, and a program of fantastic Canadian opera works. The prospect of another "Brunhilde in a corset" might very well be the reason so many folks shudder at the prospect of spending an evening at the opera! The Bicycle Opera members try to make the art form more relevant, intimate and ultimately more accessible to audiences who might otherwise have little opportunity to hear it, by cycling around the province. This season they will perform vignettes from seven new Canadian operas, many with a humorous content, sung in English (and sometimes in French) so that audiences can more readily relate to the material. As an added bonus, the Opera cast will also take part in another Community Bike Ride at 11 a.m. on the Sunday morning. Once again led by Bayfield's own Tyler Hessel, anyone who wishes can join in a short ride around the village, ending up at the Bayfield Town Hall - possibly with some musical accompaniment during the ride! Participants are asked to meet at 10:50 a.m. in front of Outside Projects on Main Street. The concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the town hall. Tickets are available now for $20 each by calling, 519 565-2572, Ernie King Music in Goderich or at ticketscene.ca. CAR SHOW The Southern Ontario Thunderbird Club (SOTC) hopes to have 100 Thunderbirds park in the shade of Clan Gregor Square during their 17th annual car show in Bayfield on July 13.. All Thunderbird enthusiasts are welcome to this largest single gathering of the SOTC for the year. Participants don't have to be SOTC members; anyone with a T -Bird can come into the park and join in celebrating the club's 35th anniversary. There will be music, door prizes, food and great fun for Thunderbird lovers both old and young. The event begins at 9 a.m. and participants are encouraged to come early to get a nice shady spot under the trees and near the gazebo. The day will conclude about 4 p.m. PIONEER PARK cc.viIIageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieIdBreeze/Week281ssue262/tabid/676/DefauIt.aspx 3/17 5/31/2019 Week 28 Issue 262 Members of the Bayfield Pickleball Club showed MP Ben Lobb some of the h points of the game during his visit to the courts in the Bayfield Arena on the morning of July 3. "On behalf of Bayfield Mews, we are extremely pleased with the way the program has turned out. Working in co-operation with the Municipality of Bluewater to have an indoor venue means the program can operate all year. Since the program started in late April, attendance has grown steadily with an average of 20 players daily. It is great to see folks out having fun and getting some exercise at the same time. The New Horizons for Seniors Program made it all possible," said John Elmslie, president of the Bayfield Mews. "Our Government recognizes the valuable contribution seniors have made to our society and the economy. By supporting New Horizons for Seniors Program projects, we are acting to ensure that seniors maintain a good quality of life and continue to be active members of their communities," said MP Lobb. Pickleball is a racquet sport that is rapidly growing in popularity. It attracts a wide range of ages, but particularly seniors, due to the slower speed of the ball and the size of the court. It is just under one-third of the total area of a tennis court. This smaller area combined with the slower moving ball makes pickleball much easier to play offering far lower physical impact than tennis. The hours of play at the Bayfield Arena are Monday evenings 6:30-8:30 p.m.; Wednesday and Thursday mornings 9:30-11:30 a.m. New people are always welcome, it is free and all that is required are a pair of running shoes or court shoes. EMBRACE CREATIVITY AT FEST Pioneer Park is a great place to be in the summer months and it isn't always about the sunsets either. Some great things happen after sunrise too, like yoga for example. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning starting at 8:30 a.m. a free yoga session will be held during July and August. And there is even more fun after dark. July 26th is the date set for the popular "Star Gazing" put on by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, London Centre. According to the experts the moon will not be making an appearance that night so the stars will take centre stage. But of course those sunsets won't be ignored and some musical acts are currently being lined up to serenade them on weekends. Stay tuned...

HISTORICAL SOCIETY Barbara Brown and Joyce Lambert, both of Bayfield, are embarking on a new project on behalf of the Bayfield Historical Society (BHS). The pair is in the process of creating a small coffee table book that reflects the village's "unique spirit" through artistic and written images across the decades. And both Brown and Lambert feel that there are probably many Bayfield themed poems and pieces of art out there, perhaps tucked away in a trunk in the family cottage or even hanging on a wall in someone's living room. "We would like to challenge people in the community to look around their homes and cottages to find these hidden treasures of art and written pieces that capture the spirit of Bayfield to share them with us," said Lambert. People are invited to bring a good quality photo or a good copy of their treasures to the Bayfield Archives from 1-4 p.m. on the next long weekend Saturday of the summer — Aug. 2. They should also include related information as well as the name of the author or artist and the year the work was created. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek281ssue262/tabid/676/Default.aspx 5/17 5/31/2019 Week 28 Issue 262 The Pathfinder and the Playfair will be docking in Bayfield Harbour this weekend - July 12-13. To the common people they are tall ships, to the more nautical minded they are referred to as brigantines. By definition they are two -masted square-rigged sailing vessels with fore-and-aft rigged sails on the mainmast. According to the website for Toronto Brigantine Inc. (TBI), the ships were both designed and built as sail training vessels for TBI by Francis A. McLachlan in Kingston, ON. Pathfinder and Playfair were launched in 1963 and 1974 respectively. The Playfair has the distinction of being christened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. It is also noted on their website that each summer between the end of June and the beginning of September, brigantines can be found visiting ports around the Great Lakes. While the vessels are commanded by Transport Canada -licensed Captains, the crew is comprised of seasoned teenagers who have two to five -years experience sailing with TBI. Trainees join the ships for seven to 14 day training courses and are assigned to one of three rotating watches, operating the ships on a 24-hour schedule. Trainees between the ages of 13-18 years learn the basics of sail handling, seamanship, teamwork and leadership from the crew while experiencing the thrills and challenges of living and working aboard a tall ship. As very large crowds are expected to see the Brigantines visitors will be directed to Agriculture Park for parking and shuttle vans, donated by McGee Motors and Lake Huron Chrysler, both of Goderich, will be used to bring people down to the pier for the tour. Community groups rallied together to raise the $10,000 it cost to bring these two ships to Bayfield. Those organizations are: Optimist Club of Bayfield, Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce, Municipality of Bluewater, Bayfield Lions' Club, Bluewater Community Development Foundation and the Bayfield Historical Society. Admission is free but donations would be appreciated. The ships will be open for tours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The ships will be sailing into port on the evening of Thursday, July 10. Pioneer Park should prove to be a great vantage point. Visit "The Bayfield Optimist Events page" on Facebook to check for a time when one is announced. People should note that no one is allowed on board the ships until tours begin on Saturday morning. In honor of the Tall Ships docking in the harbor the Bayfield Yacht Club will hold a special sail past at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Other organizations will have displays set up down by the waterfront for visitors to enjoy. They include, The Canadian Navy, Canadian Power Squadron, Ontario Provincial Police and the Canadian Coast Guard. GLEE SISTERS SURPRISE MARKET SHOPPERS WITH SONG "Who's afraid of the Drunken Sailor", including new verses written to welcome the Tall Ships to Bayfield was performed at the Bayfield Farmers' Market on Friday afternoon as a promotion for both the ships' visit as well as an upcoming Glee Sisters concert in Pioneer Park on July 12. "The work has to be about Bayfield but the artist or author does not have be from Bayfield," said Brown. All art mediums are welcome including, paintings, postcard drawings, photographs, folk -art, sculpture, poems and quotes. "We are delighted to receive images and copies of treasures for consideration but we can not guarantee all of them will be used in the book due to space constraints," said Brown. Anyone who is unable to attend on the collection Saturdays is welcome to email Brown at bdbrown@tcc.on.ca or Lambert at lambertjoyce@gmail.com to make alternate arrangements to share their potential contribution. Hiking is great fun for children fresh out of school, needing exciting activities. Combine hiking with a trip to the local library. Many stories are about trails in the woods, leaving crumbs on pathways that the birds eat, stepping off the trail and losing the quest, or even having a conversation with a wily wolf while on the way through the woods to Grandma's. Older children may want to photograph and identify trees, flowers, even insects or small creatures found while hiking. Be sure to hike equipped with insect repellent, sunscreen and drinking water. There are several trails in the area, some longer than others, but all interesting. Bayfield River Valley Trail Association (BRVTA) offers guided hikes and welcomes everyone to take part whether new to hiking, unfamiliar with the trails or hiking veterans who just like to socialize. On July 24 the trail of choice will be the Woodland Trail. It is the first natural environment trail created by the BRVTA. Regular hikers declare it "a superb hike". The steep sections have stairs to allow safety for humans and the surrounding environment. Participants should enjoy the scenic beauty and serenity of the ravines, old pastures and glacial hills as they hike along old gravel quarry roads, lumber paths and deer trails. Those who wish to take part should meet on the North side of Clan Gregor Square. Anyone with children may want to car-pool from there to the beginning of the trail. This is a level 2 hike and should take about an hour and a half. The hike leaders will be Dave Gillians, 519 565-5884; Elise Feltrin, 519 565- 5852; and Roberta Stemp 519 565-2777. Anyone with questions concerning specific hikes or who would like to make suggestions, call one of the hike leaders or contact the program coordinator, by email thyra.knudsen@gmail.com or phone 519 606- 0016.

Those buying and selling at the Bayfield Farmers' Market on July 4th were surprised and delighted when some of the shoppers launched into a spirited rendition of "Who's afraid of the Drunken Sailor", including new verses written to welcome the Tall Ships to Bayfield. The Tall Ships will arrive in Bayfield sometime on July 10 with tours happening at the Bayfield Harbour July 12-13. The "disguised" singers were members of the Glee Sisters choir, passing through the farmers' market on their way from St. Andrew's United Church (where they practice) to The Albion Hotel (where they enjoy some social time afterwards). Leslie Bella, musical director of the Glee Sisters, explained that this was one of the songs that will be on the program when the Glee Sisters perform in Pioneer Park at 8 p.m. on July 12. The evening will include a number of other nautical numbers chosen to recognize the presence of the Tall Ships. Everyone is welcome to come and listen. In the event of rain the concert will be held in St. Andrew's United Church. Rev. Elise Feltrin provided some musical accompaniment for the Glee Sisters who staged a "flash mob" style event in Clan Gregor Square on the afternoon of July 4 during the Bayfield Farmers' Market. Glee Sisters Leslie Bella and Helen Varkamp kept time to the music during the "flash mob" style performance in the park on Friday. At the end of the performance, Leslie Bella, musical director of the Glee Sisters, invited everyone present to attend a concert in Pioneer Park on the evening of July 12 to honor the weekend visit of the Tall Ships.

The One of a Kind Show was not the only event where BTHHS board members worked hard on the weekend. "We had a busy team cooking away in the middle of Clan Gregor Square, serving up delicious hamburgers and hotdogs for the hungry Vettefest crowds. Attendance was so good at Vettefest this year, the team had to run out for more hamburgers to feed the long queues waiting to be fed. A great situation to be in!" said Scotchmer. She also announced that plans are now underway for a Second Annual One of a Kind Show next year. The BTHHS members are aiming to fill the town hall grounds next year with many more local talented artisans.

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER - POUNDER The eighth annual Bayfield Vettefest began on July 4th with a Summer Night Cruise from Clan Gregor Square starting at 7 p.m. Once gathered, the corvette enthusiasts headed out on a little road trip together. The next morning the vettes returned to the square for the car show. Visitors to the park were treated to an overwhelming sight row after row of cars in every imaginable color ranging in age from 1954 to 2014 parked in both sun and shade. One corvette caught in the reflection in the hood of another - it was just that kind of "sunshiny” day.

OPTIMIST A—a A very dear friend had her first art gallery showing on Friday night in Bayfield and I was so happy that I could attend and absorb some of the wonderful energy. I have watched her evolve as an artist since we first met as teenagers in the fabulous 80s. I'm seriously still waiting for the big hair to come back in. In our final year of high school we worked on a special English project together — a children's tourist guide for Goderich. I wrote the words and she created the illustrations. I still remember watching my father's face as he sat at the kitchen table enjoying a cup of instant coffee on a break from the farm chores. He was watching her work. He sat transfixed as in mere minutes a brilliant likeness of Tiger Dunlop appeared on the paper from the pencil in her hand. Today she favors buildings and landscapes. Bayfield has benefited as she has created such incredible likenesses of some of the community's most iconic sites. The world can now share in what my father saw that day at our kitchen table and that in and of itself is a tremendous gift. - Melody If1 egrlity Everything! --� -- LAKE HURON HLAL ES GALE VM1 Artist Carolyn Hurd was delighted to have her 93 year-old Nana, Isabelle Watson, come to her first gallery opening on the weekend.
