Aug. 8, 2018 Vol. 10 Week 32 Issue 474 ARTIST GUULD TO UNVEIL CREATIVE ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE COLLABORATION ON SATURDAY SHOW El cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week321ssue474/tabid/895/Default.aspx 1/18 Earlier this year the Goderich Co-op Gallery displayed a Mosaic Mural which was a collaborative effort of their painter and photographer members. In their words it was a fun and challenging project that kept them busy over the winter. The Bayfield Artist Guild (BAG) members decided that it was such a successful effort that they wanted to try something similar over the summer. The BAG membership is composed of 25 active !�C members who share a love of painting and Bayfield. During the summer of 2017 the group project was to participate in the International Ploughing Match by creating painted doors as entries into the Avenue of Art at the fair grounds. The BAG members had been on the look out for a suitable group project for this summer and the Goderich Co-op Mosaic seemed to be a perfect idea. Earlier this summer they approached the Photography Club of Bayfield (PCoB) and with the help of Angela Kaptein they El cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week321ssue474/tabid/895/Default.aspx 1/18 6/11/2019 week 32 Issue 474 came together to make this summer creative collaboration a reality. A photograph, was selected by members of the PCoB. The image, not yet seen by guild members, was sized and divided into 16 equal parts. Sixteen of our members were given a 1/1 6th size numbered piece of the picture and a 16x20 inch canvas. Each artist was directed to interpret the image in whatever way that they chose using their own style with the only caveats being the importance of sizing the image so that when put together, the pieces of the mosaic would line up to meet the adjacent pieces and a suggested palette to ensure some visual consistency throughout the finished work. As the BAG is a relatively young organization, there is a lot of enthusiasm and excitement about group projects and what started with some anxiety and uncertainty about participation by members, turned into a full -on desire to participate. "While only 16 members were involved in painting the sections for the finished mosaic, we had overwhelming membership involvement in the planning and creating the finished piece and we know without a doubt that everyone will be keen to be creating paintings for our next shared effort!" said Mary Stephenson BAG member. The image which has not yet been seen in its entirety will be a surprise to the BAG members, artists and community as it is unveiled at the Bayfield Public Library on the morning of Aug. 11. "Everyone is invited to come out to see what our Bayfield Artist Guild was able to create in partnership with the Bayfield Photo Club!" said Stephenson. This collaborative creation will be mounted and on display outside the Bayfield Library from Aug. 11-18. "Many thanks to Goderich Co-op for the idea, the Bayfield Photography club for their participation, Photographer Jack Pal for use of his image, the Bayfield Artist Guild members for their support, artistic endeavors and making the project actually come together! As well our thanks to the Municipality of Bluewater for their support and the Bayfield Library for hosting our Creative Collaboration!" Stephenson concluded. FORESTRY, FISHING AND FIELDS THEME OF COMMUNITY FAIR The popular Bayfield Community Fair returns this Aug. 17-19, with a Forestry, Fishing and Fields theme. Community volunteers and staff from Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) are leading engaging activities around this theme in the Discovery Tent on the Saturday and Sunday. The hosts will facilitate forestry, fishing, and fields activities from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on the Saturday and from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the Sunday. There will also be static displays from noon to 4 p.m. on the Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Sunday. "This year's theme of Forestry, Fishing, and Fields is important for our watershed community," said Mari Veliz, Healthy Watersheds manager with ABCA. "From a watershed perspective, these three things are closely woven together. Feeding people, planting trees and creating habitat for fish and other species are all ways we work together to create a stronger economic and environmental future. The community's direction to us is to protect and enhance water, soil and living things and the Forestry, Fishing and Fields theme fits well with that work." There will be activities and displays for all ages in the Discovery Tent, according to staff. There will be prizes too. Organizers say the activities in the tent will be fun and they will also be an active way to learn about trees, soil and fish in our watershed. "On behalf of the Board of Directors, convenors, members and volunteers, I would like to welcome you to our 162nd Community Fair in Bayfield," said Jentje Steenbeek, Bayfield Fair president. "We are blessed once again to host a traditional fair celebrating the achievements and success of our rural community in one of the most picturesque communities situated along Ontario's West Coast." The Fair President said the theme of Forestry, Fishing and Fields will help to highlight some of the great Bayfield area attributes including thriving agricultural production, a beautiful location Jamie Thomas looked like she was ready to walk the red carpet in this fun number from the 80s during the Vintage Fashion Parade held at the 2017 event.

SOCIAL PLANNING The Social Research and Planning Council (SRPC) and 211, supported partners of United Way Perth - Huron, are working on a social planning inventory they hope will improve social planning across the region. The two organizations are looking to engage with groups involved in service planning and co- ordination, advocacy, building social capital to bring about social change, research and analysis, public education and mobilizing resources. "We envision the inventory as a valuable tool for community leaders who are involved in community development and social planning," said Susanna Reid, director of the SRPC. "It's meant to link research with planning and support existing groups to improve social planning across our region." Over 25 organizations have completed the survey so far and community leaders are encouraged to go to http://survey.constantcontact.com if they want their information included in the inventory. For a list of organizations that have participated go to http://perthhuron.unitedway.ca To ensure the inventory is updated regularly and accessible to as many people as possible, 211 was chosen to house the information. "The social planning inventory further strengthens 211 as a resource for our communities," said Susan Faber, Information director of 211 Perth -Huron. "Residents of Perth and Huron will be able to find current information on existing planning groups and see if there are areas not being addressed.

Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health provides them with the best of both worlds, offering meaningful work experience close to home. The funding that supports Gateway from the Hometown Heroes, "Raise a Little Health" Charity Hockey Game is essential to summer students and their research projects. In addition to working on their research projects, the involvement in the organization of the game has been an invaluable experience for Gateway's summer students. This is what Gateway means to them: "I always thought that there were untapped research opportunities in my community, however, never thought I would be able to pursue them as I, like many others, thought I needed to choose between research experience in my field of study and coming home to my family and friends in the summer. When I discovered Gateway, I realized I had been sorely mistaken. The ability of Gateway to provide me with an opportunity to tap these research opportunities has not only helped to apply my studies practically but also to be a competitive student and applicant after graduation and better my community." - Jessie Payne "Gateway has provided me with the opportunity to not only be home for the summer, but also create connections with the local community in hopes of maintaining these for my future in Huron County. Working at Gateway has broadened my scope and opened up new opportunities and interests in my scientific field of study. Having grown up in Huron county, have gained knowledge on the unique healthcare needs and challenges that are faced in rural Ontario. In doing so, I wish to expand the availability of resources and opportunities to rural areas, like Huron County." - Grace Bonnett "Being a part of Gateway has allowed me to learn about conducting research in ways that I wouldn't have been able to within a classroom. I not only feel like the work I am apart of is important for the community, but also know it is good preparation for a career in the scientific community. Working at Gateway has made me excited to go back to my university studies as it has given me a taste of what could come after graduation." - Sam Murray "As a foreign medical student, it is essential that I have years of research on my resume so that I can secure a resident position in Canada after I graduate. The funding from Hometown Heroes Ensures that Gateway is able to fund my project so that I can stay at home in the summers rather than being away from home in an urban centre doing research. It means that I am able to pursue my interest in rural research in an environment that I am comfortable in, and a place that I one day hope to practice medicine. It gives me exposure to the places where I hope to one day work as a fully licensed medical practitioner." - Alex Conlon re 111rlin str.•[-�et optornctric REMEMBER ME?

(Photo by Graham Pounder) PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER Thirty-two years ago a fun tradition was started to raise funds for the maintenance of Pioneer Park — the 5 KM Fun Race. This year the traditon continued with enthusiastic participants registering for the run on the morning of Aug. 6. They laced up their sneakers some to walk others to run. People took to wheels of all sorts from cycles built for two to roller blades. The weather cooperated and although it was a pretty warm morning a gentle breeze off the lake kept things bearable. Prizes were awarded in each category in four different age groups, plus prizes were also awarded to those who demonstrated a special effort. Various local merchants, personal businesses and other individual sponsors generously donated prizes. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/week32issue474/tabid/895/Default.aspx 9/18 6/11/2019 week 32 Issue 474 Generations of families have taken part in the Pioneer Park Fun Race over its more than three decades whether they be summer visitors or full-time residents.

Determination helps when approaching the finish line. The cheering crowd at the finish line grows as more and more people cross it - perhaps one of the best parts of this stellar event. Carmen Schmintz, son Matthew Curtis, and daughter Charlie, in tow behind, crossed the finish line to the sounds of applause from the supporters that gathered along Bayfield Terrace. This jolly fellow captured the spectators attention by running to the finish line backwards. He used his phone to guide him across. Rumour has it he may have run the entire race this way!

In fact, we have a new part-time employee and he's easy on the payroll. He works for Pokemon cards. Yes, folks, its Graham -cation time again. Our grandson is with us for the week. We bought him a Nikon Point and Shoot camera for his fourth birthday as he was very interested in using mine. And if that seems young I can tell you I got my first camera at the age of five and my first typewriter at age nine. I am a believer in promoting a hobby or sport at an early age — just no pushing! So now at the ripe old age of seven I felt he was ready for his first photography assignment. Plus, I told him that if he got a good enough photo I would publish it. In the end he got three print worthy images and you can find them above in this week's photo story along with his photo credit. The Breeze gets a different perspective on an annual event and I get to share one of my passions with my grandson, a great start to Graham -cation 2018, I'd say. Now I'm off to buy those Pokemon cards, after all, he earned them. — Gramel Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
